Hong Kong's worst residential fire in more than half a century has killed at least 44 people and left hundreds missing, as rescue workers race to extinguish the blaze and Chinese President Xi Jinping urges all-out efforts to reduce casualties. Rescue efforts continued overnight after a fire that began around 3 p.m. Wednesday turned an eight-tower housing block in northern Hong Kong into an inferno, sending thick black smoke billowing into the sky. Officials said the blaze began on a section of the bamboo scaffolding encasing the complex, which is still widely used in the city. Bloomberg's Minmin Low is on site. Investors continue to keep an eye on the increasing probability of a December interest rate cut. What does that mean for Asian Markets? We heard from Hartmut Issel, UBS Wealth Management Head of APAC Equities and Credit. He spoke to Bloomberg's Avril Hong and Shery Ahn on the Asia Trade. Plus - Wall Street extended its rally on Wednesday. Tech stocks led the climb in US equities as rising expectations for interest-rate cuts helped carry traders' newfound optimism into the Thanksgiving break. Also, the latest Fed survey showed little change in US economic activity during recent weeks. The so-called Beige Book also found employment declined slightly -- and prices rose moderately. We spoke to Patrick Kennedy, Founding Partner at All Source Investment Management.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

High Rise Beverage co-founder Matt Skinner has built a coastal-themed brand in the Southeast but his ambitions extend across the nation.    The Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered intoxicating hemp beverage brand is now available in 22 states, and Skinner sees an opportunity to go even bigger.   "We're in the space of being a nationwide brand at this point," he says on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, recorded in October at the National Beer Wholesalers Association's Annual Convention in Las Vegas.    "Having those partnerships and getting in with the right distributors now is important. They're finding who they feel like their horses are in the category, and I think we are aligning across the country with that. But the Southeast is very important to us."     Skinner shares his strategy of building the brand in bars and restaurants and why his pitch to those retailers was bigger than his brand. He also explains how High Rise came to be partners with Sony Music in Nashville, which flavors are resonating with consumers and why Target's adoption of intoxicating hemp products "puts all eyes on the category."   Before the interview, Justin and Zoe discuss the latest news, such as New Belgium's packed new product slate for 2026, including new Voodoo Ranger IPAs and a canned cocktail offshoot, as well as Molson Coors' tough Q3 earnings report.

On the 14th of June 2017, a fire tore through Grenfell Tower in West London. Within hours, the blaze had engulfed almost the entire 24-storey building, leading to the deaths of 72 people and leaving hundreds more injured or displaced.Grenfell was not just a tragedy of unimaginable loss, it became a symbol of systemic failure. Questions arose about the safety of high-rise housing, the cladding used on the tower, and the way residents' repeated warnings were ignored. The fire highlighted deep issues of inequality, neglect, and accountability within modern Britain.In this episode, we revisit the events of that night, the heroic rescue attempts, the stories of those who survived, and the aftermath that continues to affect families, campaigners, and the country at large. Grenfell is more than a single event. It is a lasting reminder of the importance of justice, responsibility, and listening to communities before disaster strikes.The Grenfell Tower fire left an indelible mark on the UK. Do you think enough has been done since the tragedy to ensure nothing like this can ever happen again...? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
