Its strongest differentiator is the transferable Great 8 Promise covering warranty, servicing, roadside assistance and MOTs for eight years, aimed at reducing concerns over buying and later reselling a relatively unfamiliar Chinese brand.DPD UK ORDERS 341 MERCEDES-BENZ ESPRINTER VANSDPD UK has ordered 341 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vans, taking its electric fleet beyond 4,000 vehicles and extending battery-electric delivery operations into larger vans and longer routes around London and elsewhere in Britain. The order suggests improving battery range, payload capability and UK licensing rules are making full-size electric vans practical for a broader range of commercial delivery work.EU DRAFT AIMS TO FAVOUR EUROPEAN EV SUPPLIERSThe European Commission has proposed procurement rules allowing public authorities to favour European suppliers by considering resilience, industrial capacity and fair competition alongside price when buying products including electric buses, chargers and municipal EV fleets. The draft could disadvantage some Chinese suppliers, but European-built vehicles from companies such as BYD may still qualify depending on final rules governing product origin and European component content.EU DRAFT SEEKS EUROPEAN PREFERENCE IN BUS TENDERSEurope's proposed procurement reforms distinguish between where a company is headquartered and where its products are manufactured, meaning Chinese-owned manufacturers with EU factories could potentially remain eligible for public contracts. For companies such as BYD, European production may therefore become increasingly important not only for tariffs and supply chains but also for maintaining access to taxpayer-funded transport and fleet tenders.ALSTOM AND TRANSPENNINE PLAN 29 BATTERY-ELECTRIC TRAINSAlstom and TransPennine Express plan to introduce 29 battery-electric Adessia Stream trains from 2034, designed for long-distance UK routes with around 300 passengers and speeds of up to 110 mph. The programme would move battery propulsion beyond current UK trials and retrofits into purpose-built mainline passenger trains, while also supporting production and employment at Alstom's Derby facility.LAWMAKER ASKS NHTSA TO ACT ON TESLA FSDUS Representative Raja Krishnamoorthi has asked federal regulators to examine whether Tesla does enough to prevent misuse of Full Self-Driving and Autopilot after NBC identified videos and police cases involving drivers apparently sleeping or becoming distracted while the systems operated. Tesla requires drivers to remain attentive and uses cameras and other monitoring measures, but the question now facing NHTSA is whether those safeguards adequately prevent foreseeable misuse.PURPOSE ENERGY PROPOSES PERTH-BUNBURY HEAVY-VEHICLE CHARGING NETWORKPurpose Energy has proposed an AU$137 million electric-truck charging corridor between Perth and Bunbury, with hubs at Forrestfield, Rockingham and Picton offering 12 charging bays each alongside two battery-swapping stations. Backed by logistics operator Centurion, the proposal will first test fleet demand and could demonstrate whether shared high-capacity infrastructure is more practical than individual operators building expensive charging facilities at separate depots.CHINA POLICY SEEKS STRICT CONTROL OF NEW INDEPENDENT EV-MAKER APPROVALSChina has set 2030 targets for new-energy vehicles to reach 70% of domestic passenger-car sales and 40% of commercial-vehicle sales while tightening approval of new independent manufacturers and encouraging consolidation through mergers and the closure of inefficient capacity. With NEVs already accounting for 65.2% of domestic passenger-vehicle sales in August, the policy signals that Beijing's next priority is managing competition, industrial discipline and global scale rather than simply stimulating EV demand.

For this week's Edition, Lara Prendergast is joined by the Spectator's political editor Tim Shipman, restaurant critic Angus Colwell and Telegraph associate editor Poppy Coburn.This week: does the country want Kemi Badenoch's tough love? Ahead of Tory party conference, Tim speaks to the Tory leader about her plans to get Britain working again. She argues that if you can work, you should; young people without a work history could be put onto a six-month ‘get to work' scheme rather than Universal Credit. Badenoch says the Tories have spent too long worrying about being called the ‘nasty party' and now need to plant their flag on welfare, the economy and conservative values. But while her personal fortunes have improved, has the Tory brand recovered with her?Also: has Andy Burnham handed the Conservatives an opportunity? Badenoch believes the Prime Minister is moving Labour decisively to the left, while Burnham's conference speech revived arguments about public ownership, devolution and Britain's relationship with Europe. Is his attack on, what he sees as the economic consensus of the past 40 years, bold – or an opportunity for the Conservatives to open up ideological fault lines? And how realistic are Burnham's ambitions to move Britain closer to the EU?Plus: is AI ruining literature or just exposing bad writing? The panel discuss whether machines can produce genuinely great art, and Tim reveals how he uses AI to sift interview transcripts. And finally: are some people nostalgic for lockdown? Following a controversy over a Boston lesbian bar, Angus looks at the persistence of mask culture, while the panel reveal what they would stockpile for the apocalypse.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

VOLKSWAGEN OPENS ORDERS FOR LONGER ID. BUZZ CARGOVolkswagen has opened German orders for the longer ID. Buzz Cargo, which increases load volume from 3.9 to 4.4 cubic metres, gains a wider side opening for a Euro pallet and uses an 86 kWh battery, with prices from €50,630 for the 250 kW AWD version and €48,490 for the forthcoming 210 kW RWD model. Quoted ranges are 430–460 km for AWD and 450–490 km for RWD, with 200 kW DC charging, 11 kW AC charging, one-pedal driving and 3.0 kW continuous vehicle-to-load power.ALPINE ADDS COLLECTION PACKAGE TO ELECTRIC A290Alpine has introduced a more restrained Collection styling package for the A290 GT, GT Performance and GTS, adding body-colour wheelarches, a black steering wheel, silver brake calipers, exclusive matte grey-blue or metallic white paint, a gloss-black roof and diamond-cut Snowflake wheels. GT and GT Performance also receive blue-and-white fabric and faux-leather interiors, while GTS retains leather; UK timing and pricing remain unconfirmed, although a small premium over the roughly £30,000 existing range is expected.AUDI A6 E-TRON CLAIMS 831-MILE SINGLE-CHARGE RECORDRally driver Miko Marczyk drove an Audi A6 Sportback e-tron Performance 1,338 km, or more than 831 miles, on one charge over 45 hours, exceeding a previous claimed Lucid Air record of 749 miles and travelling more than 360 miles beyond the Audi's official 468-mile maximum. The 94.9 kWh car averaged 8.8 miles/kWh on a carefully selected Polish route with favourable terrain and energy-efficient Michelin tyres, making the conditions and exceptionally long journey important context for the claimed record.DACIA HIPSTER PRODUCTION PLANNED FOR 2027 AT EXPECTED £9,500Dacia is reportedly planning 2027 production of the Hipster, potentially giving Britain an electric city car costing around £9,500, although the project has not yet received final production approval. Sources indicate a 15 kWh battery and production at Shiyan in China using some previous-generation Spring components, while Dacia is still deciding between four-seat L7e and two-seat L6 configurations as it seeks a profitable sub-£10,000 starting price.EU WILL NOT VOTE ON TESLA FSD ON 6 OCTOBERTesla's attempt to secure EU-wide approval for Full Self-Driving Supervised will be discussed by the Technical Committee on Motor Vehicles on 6 October but will not be put to a vote, making December the earliest scheduled opportunity for a decision. Seven countries have authorised the driver-supervised system, but bloc-wide approval requires support from at least 15 member states representing 65% of the EU population, while concerns including speed-limit compliance remain and Tesla's reported European safety figures have not been independently audited.INDEPENDENT USED-CAR DEALERS GET FREE EV TRAININGIndependent used-car dealers can now access EV Retail Ready, a free online programme created by the BVRLA, Independent Motor Dealers Association and EVA England to improve staff knowledge of charging, running costs, ownership and the EV buying process. The four-module course takes up to two hours, includes access to Clearwatt's vehicle-specific battery, charging and real-world range data, and requires all customer-facing staff to complete the training for dealership accreditation.RENAULT PLANS €600 MILLION SPANISH FACTORY INVESTMENTRenault plans to invest €600 million through 2030 in its Valladolid and Palencia factories in Spain, preparing them for five new models including two medium-sized EVs based on the electric-specific RGEV Medium 2.0 platform. The programme, combining Renault funding with national and regional public support, also includes a battery assembly line at Valladolid and is intended to help secure the future of more than 6,000 direct jobs.US SENATORS DELAY BID FOR PERMANENT CHINESE VEHICLE BANUS senators have delayed a fast-track attempt to make restrictions on Chinese vehicles permanent while discussions continue with Republican Senator Rand Paul, whose objection prevents the unanimous consent needed despite the bill having 51 supporters. The proposal would prevent presidential waivers for Chinese manufacturers and could also affect Mercedes-Benz because Chinese investors own nearly 20% of it, although Senator Bernie Moreno said the company would have until 2030 to comply and could potentially receive waivers.SLOVENIA WILL END ELECTRIC-CAR PURCHASE SUBSIDIESSlovenia's new government will end electric-car purchase subsidies after existing funding was exhausted, shifting its electric-mobility policy towards charging infrastructure instead. Around €2.5 million is available for slower chargers and roughly €25 million is planned next year for charging infrastructure on and beyond the TEN-T network, with future support expected to rely more heavily on national rather than EU funding.ROLLS-ROYCE ELECTRIC SUV PROTOTYPE SHOWS SPLIT BONNET SEAMA photograph of Rolls-Royce's forthcoming electric SUV prototype shows a centre bonnet seam resembling a split-opening mechanism described in a 2024 BMW patent, although neither the mechanism nor the possible storage space beneath it has been confirmed. The standalone electric SUV could enter production next year alongside the V12 Cullinan, but reports of BMW Group EV technology, an 800-volt electrical system, dual motors and all-wheel drive remain expectations rather than confirmed specifications.

//The Wire//2300Z October 1, 2026// //ROUTINE// //BLUF: CHINA HALTS ALL FUEL EXPORTS. MIGRANT STUDENT RIOTS CONTINUE IN FRANCE, HUNDREDS ARRESTED AS MOB ATTACKS REMAIN CONSTANT. ENERGY DEPARTMENT FILES CONTRACT FOR AN ADDITIONAL 40 MILLION BARREL RELEASE FROM THE STRATEGIC PETROLEUM RESERVE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----  -International Events-Europe: The fuel crisis continues to deteriorate. This morning the White House requested France and Germany to tap into their emergency diesel reserves, to ease high prices. The proposal as described would release around 120 million barrels of diesel from the strategic reserves of EU member states over the next 6 months. Analyst Comment: So far, this is not a formalized demand, but rather an indirect request made by the White House. No European nation has officially responded to the idea, but many mainstream media reports suggest that the indirect threat has been made of cutting off diesel exports to noncompliant nations.France: Mass riots continue around the nation. Several days ago, protests began at schools around the country due to long schooldays and declining infrastructure. After the initial low-level protests began in Paris, civil unrest spread throughout the nation. This morning, limited protests and arson incidents had spread to Belgium, with students beginning to conduct similar protests there.Analyst Comment: This initially started small but after some vandalism took place on the first night, the situation snowballed from there to be more of an African uprising than a simple school schedule dispute. Now, a substantial number of the participants of the attacks are visibly not of French ancestry...most of the arson attacks are being conducted by the children of African migrants. Throughout this afternoon, the riots have expanded to include other non-student migrant enclaves. The mayor of Saint Dennis, Bally Bagayoko (who is ethnically Malian) joined students in setting fire to a trash can in the street, encouraging them to destroy more infrastructure. Many school officials and police officers have been attacked by violent mobs, and several hundred arrests have been made so far nationwide. As it stands, this situation is already very violent, and is only likely to increase in severity over the next few days.Far East: Last night, China suspended all exports of fuel for the month of October, effective immediately. Hong Kong and Macau have been granted an exemption, but all other export partners will receive zero fuel from China in October.Analyst Comment: This move will probably affect the decision that the United States has been weighing regarding halting diesel exports. China is not a major exporter of petroleum products, but Singapore and the Philippines are major importers of diesel from China, which is now completely cut off. Malaysia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam are also likely to be heavily affected by the halting of Chinese exports.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Yesterday the Department of Energy authorized an emergency release of 40 million barrels of crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). This is an attempt to retry a sale that was initially offered in June, that did not pan out because oil companies did not want to commit to the sale when prices were at new heights.As a reminder, SPR releases are really loans. When a private oil company is given oil from the SPR to sell on the open market, they have to replace it with more oil than they took out. Now that the market is in a disastrous state, a lot of oil companies have not wanted to take on that obligation, because they think that by the time they have to re-fill that loan, it won't be financially viable (because oil will be more expensive than it is now). Since the SPR has been drained heavily over the past few months, the current levels sit at roughly 283.8 million barrels.As a result, if petroleum companies take up this contract for all 40 million barrels, and don't replace it soon enough, SPR levels will probably bounce below the Congressionally mandated limit of 252 million barrels. Whether or not companies will indeed take this contract is up in the air, but as it stands emergency levels are being approached, and concerns are growing regarding the structural integrity of the SPR caverns housing America's emergency oil supply.Analyst: S2A1 Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground NomadNet: 5fa68c88be727a0e1a250a75e5e79269 Disclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report. //END REPORT//

The CIA has organized coups d'etat in countries around the world. But this is not just history; it still happens today. US ambassador to Greece Kimberly Guilfoyle, a top ally of Donald Trump (and former fiancée of his son), threatened a Greek minister by pointing to the collapse of Romania's government and saying, “We can do that to any country we want. We can do that here”. Her remarks recalled a comment from oligarch Elon Musk, who declared, "We will coup whoever we want! Deal with it". Ben Norton analyzes US imperialism.

Ian Collins unpacks the latest as around 700 offenders serving sentences of up to 19 months are scheduled for release starting this morning, marking the initial phase of a government early-release scheme expected to free more than 4,500 prisoners by June. The policy has drawn fierce criticism from victim advocacy watchdogs and domestic abuse survivors, who live in fear for their safety. In one case, a survivor of abuse reported fleeing abroad ahead of her former partner's planned release.The government has officially scrapped its "one in, one out" migrant arrangement, ending the framework previously used to manage specific return and exchange agreements for asylum seekers and migrants.Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has announced that she will ban school leavers from moving directly onto unemployment benefits upon leaving education. Separately, former cabinet minister Alan Milburn suggested that businesses and employers should begin teaching primary school pupils about work from an early age.

This Day in Legal History: The Nuremberg VerdictsOn October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its sentences on the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany. Of the 22 defendants, 19 were convicted and three were acquitted. Twelve were sentenced to death, three to life imprisonment, and four to prison terms of 10 to 20 years. Hermann Göring killed himself the night before his scheduled execution. Martin Bormann, tried in absentia, was never found to face his sentence. The other death sentences were carried out on October 16.The legal achievement of Nuremberg was the decision to hold a trial at all. The Allies could have simply executed the Nazi leadership; some officials argued for exactly that. Instead, at the urging of figures like U.S. Justice Robert Jackson, who left the Supreme Court to serve as chief prosecutor, they built a court, allowed defense counsel, admitted evidence, and let the outcome turn on proof. The acquittals mattered as much as the convictions: they showed the tribunal was deciding cases, not ratifying a foregone conclusion. Nuremberg also established principles that still anchor international law, most importantly that “following orders” is not a defense to crimes against humanity, and that individuals, not just states, can be held criminally responsible for aggression and atrocities.The significance of October 1, 1946 is the idea in today's opening quote, from Jackson's opening statement: that even when dealing with the worst crimes imaginable, the state submits to legal process rather than acting on raw power. That idea, that the government must work through courts and procedure, especially when it is detaining, removing, or putting people to death, runs through every story we cover today.The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the administration can detain millions of immigrants for the entire length of their deportation proceedings without a bond hearing. In July 2025, the Department of Homeland Security issued guidance saying that immigrants who entered the country illegally are subject to mandatory detention with no bond hearing while their cases proceed, a process that can take months or years. The legal fight is about which section of the immigration statute applies. The law has one provision that requires detention for “applicants for admission,” historically understood to mean people arriving at the border. A separate provision governs people already living in the country and generally lets them ask an immigration judge for release on bond. The administration's new position is that anyone who entered without inspection remains an “applicant for admission” no matter how long they've lived here, which would move them into the mandatory-detention category. The case the Court took involves Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a Brazilian national who authorities say entered illegally two decades ago and applied for asylum in 2016. The Second Circuit ruled against the government. And according to the reporting, appeals judges in nine of the eleven federal circuits to consider the question have concluded that detention without a bond hearing violates federal law. That makes the administration's position an outlier among the lower courts, which is part of why the Supreme Court stepped in. The stakes are very large. A bond hearing doesn't guarantee release; it just means a judge decides whether a person is a flight risk or a danger. If the Court sides with the administration, millions of long-term residents could be held without that individualized review for the length of their cases. The Court will hear it in the term that opens Monday.US Supreme Court to hear clash over Trump's immigration detention policy | Reuters · Yahoo News · National Immigration ForumThe U.S. Court of International Trade heard arguments in a challenge to the President's “forced labor” tariffs, and opponents say the case is a test of whether he can rebuild the tariff power the Supreme Court took away in February. Imposed in late July, the tariffs range from 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China, and they cover more than 99% of goods imported into the United States. The stated justification is that those countries have failed to stop imports made with forced labor. Four small businesses and 25 Democratic-led states sued, and their three cases were consolidated before a three-judge panel with appointees of Presidents Trump, Obama, and Biden. Their argument is that the trade statute the administration relied on requires country-specific findings of unfair trade practices, reached through a real investigation. In their telling, “forced labor” is a pretext: a label stretched over nearly all imports from 60 countries to recreate the broad, global tariff authority the Supreme Court rejected when it struck down the emergency-powers tariffs. The legal question is how closely courts will examine the factual basis for a statutory trade remedy. If the statute requires findings and the findings are thin or generic, the tariffs are vulnerable. If the court defers to the executive's judgment on trade practices, they likely survive. The panel isn't expected to rule from the bench. This connects directly to my column from last week on building an unwinding mechanism into tariffs from the start. If these tariffs fall too, importers will be back in the refund line, and consumers who paid higher prices will again have no clear way to get that money back.US trade court to weigh challenge to Trump's forced labor tariffs | Reuters · CNBC · Foreign PolicyAnd finally, a story that took a turn no one expected. Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike on Wednesday night, and the execution failed. Pike was the only woman on Tennessee's death row, convicted of the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at a Knoxville Job Corps program. Pike was 18 at the time of the crime. The legal path to Wednesday night was itself dramatic. On Wednesday morning, a divided panel of the Sixth Circuit granted a short stay to consider her claim that evidence of severe childhood sexual abuse was never adequately considered at sentencing. Tennessee went to the Supreme Court, which vacated the stay Wednesday evening, with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. Officials then administered two doses of the lethal drug, but Pike's heart was still beating, and she was taken to a hospital. Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third-party review and said the remaining execution scheduled for this year will not go forward. Now the legal questions are unusual and difficult. The closest Supreme Court precedent is from 1947, Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, when the state's electric chair failed to kill Willie Francis and the Court held, 5 to 4, that Louisiana could try again without violating the Eighth Amendment. Modern lethal-injection cases like Baze v. Rees and Bucklew v. Precythe focus on whether a method creates a substantial risk of severe pain, but they don't squarely address what happens after an execution has actually been attempted and failed. Pike's lawyers will almost certainly argue that a second attempt would be cruel and unusual. There are also the issues that were already in the case: her age at the time of the crime, just past the line the Supreme Court drew in Roper v. Simmons barring execution for crimes committed under 18, and the abuse evidence the Sixth Circuit wanted time to examine. Whatever one's view of the death penalty, a failed execution is exactly the kind of event the Eighth Amendment was written to make courts confront, and this case will now test what the Constitution requires when the state's ultimate punishment doesn't work.Tennessee due to execute woman for first time in two centuries | Reuters · NPR · CBS News This is a public episode.

Join José Paulo Carvalho, Founder and CEO of Hope Care Health, for an inspiring and deeply reflective conversation on building digital health platforms that put humanity first. Digital transformation in healthcare often falters when tech startups treat patients as data points and clinical workflows as software bugs. Drawing on a unique background that combines an Executive MBA, deep expertise in information systems, a degree in Theology, and a personal turning point when his mother was diagnosed with ALS, José shares how Hope Care Health built one of Europe's first EU Medical Device Regulation (MDR)-compliant remote patient monitoring platforms. In this episode, he details how to scale digital health across regulated global markets without losing the human core of medicine.

The Brexit debate has kicked off again, with Prime Minister Andy Burnham indicating the UK could potentially re-join the EU. Burnham says the UK needs to 'consider its options' and while a possible referendum may not be happening now, it could be on the cards. UK correspondent Enda Brady says 'anyone with a brain' could see that the UK is better off included with the EU, and he made that prediction a decade ago.

Michael Gove is joined by Jonathan Hinder, MP for Pendle and Clitheroe, one of the leading voices of Blue Labour, to discuss class, borders and the common good in a conversation recorded live at Labour conference.Jonathan, a former police officer, sets out his case against the economic and social 'hyper liberalism' of recent decades, before turning to industrial strategy, North Sea oil and gas, and why his constituents in terraced houses pay more property tax than multi-millionaires in London.With over a million voters said to have moved from Labour to Reform since the election, can Andy Burnham bring them back – and what would it take on immigration? They also discuss balanced migration, the Danish approach to integration, puberty blockers, and why Jonathan, a Remain voter, thinks rejoining the EU would be a distraction.And finally: why even police officers love Hot Fuzz.Produced by: Henry Lloyd and Oscar Edmondson Hosted on Acast.

The headlines say the tariff war is still raging. According to Richard Baldwin, Washington has spent the past year quietly backing away from it, one exemption and carve-out at a time. In episode 93, Robert Skidmore and I look at what that retreat means for a global trading system that increasingly seems to be organising itself around the US rather than through it. Then we sit down with Charles-Henry Monchau, Chief Investment Officer at Bank Syz, to ask how investors should think about geopolitics, industrial policy and capital flows in what he calls the era of "slowbalization." Trade policy, energy security and investment strategy are no longer separate conversations. Canada and the EU are building a deeper partnership, Germany is weighing a tougher economic-security approach to China, and an energy squeeze is heading into winter that looks a lot like 2022. Meanwhile, our guest points out that global equities were hitting record highs despite all the scary headlines. The awkward question for anyone with a portfolio, a supply chain or a heating bill is how those pieces fit together. What Went Wrong This Week The quiet tariff retreat. Baldwin argues the effective US tariff rate rose from about 2% to a peak of around 11% in October 2025, then fell to roughly 6.7% by May 2026, largely through exemptions and lower applied rates rather than public reversals. His read: the rest of the world is adapting around the US in what he calls an "N minus one" trading system. Canada and the EU move closer. A deeper strategic partnership, Mark Carney's call for a closer alliance of like-minded democracies, CETA's provisional application, and why supply chains and critical minerals are part of the story. Germany's China rethink. Bloomberg reports Berlin is preparing a tougher economic-security approach: tariffs on certain Chinese plug-in hybrids, investment screening, export controls, EU procurement preferences, local content requirements, and possibly joint-venture rules for Chinese firms in Europe. We look at "China shock 2.0," the rare earths choke point, and the price gap between a Renault EV and a BYD or Xpeng. The energy squeeze. Hormuz, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refining, record US diesel prices and the on-again, off-again talk of a US export ban, record-low EU gas storage for this time of year, and a fertilizer squeeze that could outlast the Hormuz closure itself (Peter Goodman flagged that one). The lesson: depending on US energy is now a risk you have to hedge. Our guest: Charles-Henry Monchau Charles-Henry Monchau is Chief Investment Officer and ExCo member at Bank Syz. Before that, he was CIO of Dubai Investments and head of asset allocation for EMEA at Deutsche Bank, with senior roles across Geneva, Zurich, Dubai, Nassau and Paris. He holds an executive MBA from IE Business School and an MSc in finance from HEC, is a CFA, CMT, CAIA and CIIA charterholder, and is a top voice on LinkedIn with more than 280,000 followers. In our conversation, we cover: What a CIO actually does (the answer involves an orchestra conductor and the auto industry). Why contrarian investing is easy to explain and very hard to do: the moment to take some profits is when everything looks perfect, and the hardest moment to buy risk is when it feels like the end of the world. From globalisation to "slowbalization": US-China geo-economics, sovereignty, why chips are now made at home rather than by the lowest-cost producer, and the three strategic priorities he sees: AI and robotics, defence, and electric power. Why global equities keep hitting all-time highs despite the headlines, from a record DAX with only two tech stocks to a rally broadening across Europe and emerging markets, and why he calls it "the most hated global equity bull market." Why geopolitics and geoeconomics are here to stay, as both an opportunity and a risk for investors. Why he sees the bond market as the ultimate judge of US policy, from Liberation Day to the "TACO" trade. Expat corner: what living abroad taught him about Switzerland, including direct democracy, a constitutional debt brake and a strong franc that pushes companies up the value chain. On a scale of zero to SpaceX, how worried should we be about a bubble? His answer: SpaceX is like an option. You can find Syz's investment insights on the Syz Group website and LinkedIn page. Plus: why 93 is a surprisingly good number for a trade podcast (neptunium, the end of the GATT Uruguay Round on 15 December 1993, chapter 93 of the Harmonized System, and CERN putting the World Wide Web software into the public domain), Gen Z's "Get Off My Lawn" segment, hobby-maxing as a recession indicator, AI-generated sloths on Vespas, and the return of the river otter to Geneva.

IS BURNHAM A LIAR AND A CHARLATAN? SPEECH FULL OF HOPE—MY ARSE! #JonGauntTV #AndyBurnham BrexitBetrayal #RejoinEU #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKPolitics Yesterday it was tears and pulling at the heartstrings of a gullible MSM and public!  Today it is complete betrayal! Burnham is a con man and a charlatan. Four months ago, chasing votes in Makerfield, he said: "I'm not proposing the UK rejoin the EU. I respect the referendum." Now he's talking about going "all the way" back in. That's a bloody U-turn!  He told voters one thing to get elected, then opened the door to the opposite once in power. He is a liar and not fit to be PM. And that's before I mention the crocodile tears and using his dead father in a cynical attempt to win over voters! Speech full of hope?

This episode ranges from the latest AI headlines and the existential risk debate to the way AI investment is showing up in inflation, bond yields, and central bank thinking.It also turns to Ireland's budget season, EU budget tensions, and why both speakers think fiscal policy has become too much of a political circus.Chris and Jim argue that the big story is not just productivity from AI, but also the inflationary pressure from massive data centre investment, energy demand, and supply constraints. They also dig into why governments keep treating budgets like a one-off spectacle instead of a long-term strategy. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

AI sales agents and AI phone calls now sound convincingly human, but in most U.S. states, companies aren't legally required to disclose when you're talking to a bot. In this episode of Brains Byte Back, journalist Erick Espinosa speaks with Cameron Powell, a partner at DeepLaw, about the patchwork of AI disclosure laws in the U.S. and how they compare to Europe.Listeners in a 2025 Queen Mary University of London study mistook AI-cloned voices for real people 58% of the time. Meanwhile, social media is full of people cornering bots that refuse to admit what they are, and just as many people selling AI sales agents to businesses. This episode looks at what the law actually requires.What you'll learn:Europe: Article 50 of the EU AI Act, in force since August 2026, requires AI systems that interact with people to disclose that they're machines.Maine: the strongest U.S. rule. Bots in commerce must disclose whenever they could pass for human, and consumers can sue.Utah: a bot only has to admit it's AI if you ask directly.California: its two bot laws were written for online bots and pre-recorded calls, not AI that talks back in real time.New Jersey: disclosure only applies to bots selling merchandise or real estate.The FTC: it can treat undisclosed bots as deceptive in commercial cases but, according to Powell, has never seriously enforced it.What businesses using AI for sales, marketing and customer service should consider next.Quick answers:Do AI sales calls have to tell you they're AI? In most U.S. states, no. Maine requires disclosure when a bot could mislead a consumer; Utah requires it only if you ask; New Jersey only for merchandise and real estate sales.Does the EU require AI disclosure? Yes. Article 50 of the EU AI Act requires it.How can you tell if a caller is a bot? Ask directly: "Are you a real person?" In some states, the answer is legally protected. But not in most.Guest: Cameron Powell, Partner at DeepLaw, a law firm advising companies on AI and innovation.Host: Erick Espinosa, host and journalist, Brains Byte Back by The Sociable.Find out more about Cameron Powell.Learn more about ⁠https://deeplawfirm.com/Reach out to today's host ⁠Erick Espinosa⁠ – erick@sociable.coGet the latest on tech news – https://sociable.co/ 

Sean Whelan, RTÉ London Correspondent, examines UK Prime Minister, Andy Burnham's first speech at a Labour conference as both party leader and prime minister.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government has come out swinging at those claiming New Zealand has broken its climate change promises in the free trade agreement with the EU. A Dutch environmental group has lodged the first complaint of its kind through the European Commission's complaints mechanism, and says it could be precedent setting. The most extreme consequences could be losing access to the lucrative European market, but the group is seeking compliance rather than the suspension of trade benefits. Politcal reporter Lilian Hanly has more.

Ian Collins reacts to the latest as Prime Minister Andy Burnham has delivered what is being described as Labour's most left-wing address to a party conference since the 1970s.In it, he pledged to…Triple Lock & Social Care: Burnham confirmed plans to scrap the state pension triple lock, warning that tax rises are necessary to fund a new National Care Service.Electoral & Housing Reform: Labour is set to fight the next election on a platform to replace the First-Past-The-Post voting system. Alongside Angela Rayner, Burnham also unveiled proposals granting local councils powers to seize empty and private rental properties.Energy & EU Relations: The government announced the creation of the public "Great British Grid" to direct electricity infrastructure investment, while Burnham signalled openness to exploring closer ties with the EU, mocking Brexiteer rhetoric on national sovereignty.Meanwhile, details have emerged surrounding the arrest of five men near RAF Fairford. Authorities confirmed that one of the individuals in the group placed a 999 emergency call to police prior to the arrests being made. Police say a quantity of petrol but no explosive devices were found during searches of the vans.And The UK's controversial "one in, one out" migrant exchange agreement is reportedly near total breakdown. It comes as the Home Office is actively attempting to deport a boat migrant who gained notoriety on TikTok after calling for violence against Jewish people. Reports reveal the individual is currently housed in a taxpayer-funded three-bedroom property while legal proceedings continue.Wake up with Talk Breakfast in full on YouTube, DAB+ radio, Samsung TV Plus or the Talk App on your TV from 6am every morning.

FOLLOW UP: BIG PUSH TO PROTECT UK AUTOMOTIVE RELEVANCEThe campaign to push both the UK Government and EU into a favourable deal connected to the ‘Made in Europe' regulation is gaining momentum from within the industry. The SMMT has produced a report to claims the UK industry contributes €24 billion in ‘economic activity' across the continent. This is to try and show that be excluding the UK would actually hurt the EU. Click this article link from Motor Trader, to read more.The EU, for its part, has some demands of the UK, if they are to be considered to be covered. First and foremost is to impose extra tariffs on Chinese imports. This comes off the back of the suggestion it should join the EU's customs union, as that means aligning with the economic policies of the bloc. Click this EV Powered article link for more.Meanwhile, the ACEA (European equivalent to the SMMT), has called on a delay for the stricter rules of origin for the batteries of electric vehicles, between the UK and the EU. By pushing it back until 2029 that will save billions in extra costs.

Reports state options being considered include asking employees to work longer without extra pay, changing holiday and Christmas bonuses as well as eliminating special payments. These options have been gift-wrapped in the not-at-all threatening statement that two German plants are at risk otherwise.

In the UK the Competition Appeal Tribunal (CAT) has announced the compensation due to those who bought or leased a new vehicle between 18 October 2006 and 6 September 2015. For the first effected vehicle it is expected that the person will receive £25, for multiple vehicle claims the second to sixth should get £5 per vehicle and those over six are presumed to be getting £2.50 per vehicle. Which seems pittance and won't affect the companies who have been found guilty of breaking the law. Again.

This follows moves in Europe where they are doing this.

The one at Munich will remain and is their last in Germany. Lots of corporate language was used, but essentially they're in trouble and their European adventure seems almost over. Click this electrive article to read more.Meanwhile, Geely has announced that it will be integrating with the technology of Nio to enable battery swapping in it's vehicles in the future and working closely with them to integrate their networks. The deal is quite complicated with each company owning shares in each other's subsidiaries.

The headline from the research is two-thirds of UK drivers want a lower speed limit on country roads. The wonderfully deadpan way this was written exposes the nature and silliness of these ‘surveys', which are generated for publicity. In reality it was demonstrating so many feel incompetent behind the wheel as well as then bringing in irrelevant stats about the number who exceed the national speed limit, like that would change with a reduction.

Geschätzte 100 Milliarden Euro investiert Marokko in eine moderne Infrastruktur. Gleichzeitig überlegt sich eine Mehrheit der jungen Menschen auszuwandern. Kaum ein Land in Afrika hat sich in den vergangenen Jahren so stark verändert wie Marokko mit seinen 38 Millionen Einwohnern. Zum Positiven? Ja, sagen viele. Marokko wird im Hochgeschwindigkeitstempo ein Land mit modernster Infrastruktur. „Höher, grösser, schneller“ scheint das Motto zu lauten: In der Westsahara soll bis 2028 Afrikas grösster Atlantikhafen entstehen. Der schnellste Hochgeschwindigkeitszug des Kontinents verbindet Tanger, Rabat und Casablanca. 2030 soll die Fußball WM auch in Marokko stattfinden, unter anderem im grössten Stadion der Welt mit 115 000 Sitzplätzen. Die Ballungsräume boomen, doch die ländlichen Gebiete bleiben abgehängt. Im vergangenen Jahr protestierte die Gen Z für bessere Bildung, 5000 Menschen wurden verhaftet, viele sitzen noch immer im Gefängnis. Die Jugendarbeitslosigkeit liegt bei 30 Prozent. Zehntausende versuchten im vergangenen Juli über die spanische Enklave Ceuta in die EU zu fliehen. Eine Mehrheit der Jungen möchte laut Umfragen das Land verlassen. Daran hat auch die kürzliche Parlamentswahl nichts geändert. Die Wahlbeteiligung war historisch tief. Das Vertrauen fehlt. Marokko bleibt ein Land der zwei Geschwindigkeiten.

De tyske vælgere sparkede CDU ud af landdagen i Mecklenburg-Vorpommern! Die Linke, fortidens kommunister, erobrede magten i Berlin. I Sachsen-Anhalt blev AfD statens største parti. I Sverige har socialdemokraterne opgivet at danne regering! Resultater, der alle demonstrerer udviklingen i europæisk politik - væk fra centrum og ud mod fløjene. På bare ti år er magten rykket fra de store centrums-blokke i Europa-Parlamentet mod højre, og flere ryk kan undergrave EU's politiske centrum! Konsekvensen: Ustabile og svagere flerparti-regeringer! Specielt i 2027, hvor rykket til højre ser ud til at fortsætte ved valgene i Frankrig, Italien, Spanien og Polen. Kan det svække EU's sammenhold og handlekraft - når det handler om klima, miljø, støtten til Ukraine - og modstanden mod Putin? Eller kan magtens virkelighed ende med at moderere de yderste fløj-partier? Medvirkende: Lykke Friis, direktør for tænketanken Europa. Alberte Bové Rud, postdoc ved Accademia di Danimarca. Ole Ryborg, DR's EU og NATO-korrespondent. Vært: Steffen Gram.

A Dutch environmental group is lodging the first complaint of its kind through the European Commission, which could suspend trade. University of Canterbury political scientist Professor Bronwyn Hayward spoke to John Campbell.

Rusland intensiveert drone-aanvallen | Europese kramp | Begrotingscrisis Rusland voert de druk op Oekraïne verder op met zwaardere raket- en droneaanvallen op de energie-infrastructuur. Oekraïne slaat ondertussen terug met aanvallen op Russische raffinaderijen en logistieke knooppunten. Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk schetsen hoe de inzet van Geran-drones en de aanhoudende beschietingen van steden als Kiev, Kramatorsk en Sloviansk de oorlog voortdurend van karakter doen veranderen. Richting de winter raakt ook de Oekraïense economie steeds verder verzwakt. Stroomuitval, online onderwijs en stilvallende productie brengen Kyiv financieel in het nauw, terwijl Europese steun alleen onvoldoende is om de tekorten op te vangen. Ook binnen Europa lopen de spanningen op. Nederland, Duitsland en andere ‘zuinige’ landen botsen met Frankrijk over de Europese meerjarenbegroting en de financiering van defensie. Tegelijk houdt Nederland zich afzijdig van gezamenlijke wapenleningen zoals SAVE. Boekestijn en De Wijk plaatsen die begrotingsstrijd in de bredere discussie over de strategische autonomie van Europa en verbinden die met de politieke ontwikkelingen rond Marine Le Pen in Frankrijk. In het Verenigd Koninkrijk verschuift ondertussen het debat over Brexit richting een nauwere aansluiting bij Europa, nu ook onder Reform-kiezers meer aandacht ontstaat voor de economische gevolgen van het Britse vertrek uit de EU. In het Midden-Oosten lopen de spanningen tussen de Verenigde Staten en Iran verder op rond de Straat van Hormuz. Sancties zetten de Iraanse economie zwaar onder druk, terwijl via de Hoethis en de Revolutionaire Garde in Jemen een complexe proxy-oorlog wordt uitgevochten. Tegelijk zorgt de binnenlandse druk door inflatie en hoge dieselprijzen ervoor dat Joe Biden maatregelen overweegt die Europa met een nieuwe energiecrisis kunnen confronteren. Ondertussen blijft Washington discreet met Moskou in gesprek over Oekraïne en mogelijke toekomstige samenwerking op energiegebied. Daarmee kunnen de geopolitieke verhoudingen opnieuw verschuiven. [Samenvatting geschreven door AI en gecontroleerd door mens] Over de Podcast Arend Jan Boekestijn en Rob de Wijk gaan onder leiding van Hugo Reitsma op zoek naar de nieuwe wereldorde. Wat betekenen oorlog, machtspolitiek en economische verschuivingen voor Europa en Nederland? In elke aflevering duiken zij in de geopolitieke actualiteit.

Dame Esther Rantzen, who presented BBC show That's Life! for 21 years and launched the charity Childline, has died at the age of 86. Prime Minister Andy Burnham said the veteran broadcaster and campaigner had "changed countless lives". We speak to colleagues from her professional career and her career in advocacy, as she campaigned to change the law on assisted dying.Also on the programme: we hear the latest on what the Israeli government is calling an attempted hijacking of an airliner; French President Macron's 'welcome back' message to the possibility of the UK re-joining the EU, and cellist Steven Isserlis illustrates why the 300th birthday of his Stradivarius is worth celebrating.

To climate news now and while our politicians deal with claims that we've broken our climate change promises in the EU free trade agreement, many scientists are focused on another issue. A major new study has found that an area previously thought of as relatively stable, might be anything but. Climate scientists are calling for urgent research on East Antarctica and in particular Wilkes Subglacial Basin, a giant ice filled region that contains enough ice to raise global sea levels by three to four metres. Professor Nancy Bertler is a climate scientist and co-author of the new study.
