Meloni Warns EU Risks Irrelevance in Ukraine Peace Talks -- Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni told European Council President António Costa in a letter that the bloc's "disjointed" approach risks making it "irrelevant" in any settlement of the Ukraine war, the Financial Times reported. -- The letter lands before US-mediated talks between Washington, Moscow and Kyiv in Abu Dhabi, where European capitals fear being sidelined; a fragmented EU position weakens the case for tying sanctions relief and reconstruction money to a seat at the table. 2. Nasdaq Drops 4% as Post-Election Chip Rout Deepens -- The Nasdaq fell 4% as a chipmaker selloff intensified after Democratic midterm wins, with investors weighing the effect of the "blue wave" on sectors favoured by the Trump administration, the Financial Times reported. -- The decline extends the session that drove Seoul's KOSPI down 5.3% and tripped its sidecar; because data-centre projects depend on permits and grid hookups, markets are now applying a political discount to capacity that has not been built. 3. Core Scientific Colocation Revenue Jumps 58% as Billing Capacity Hits 485 MW -- Core Scientific's colocation revenue rose 58% to $215 million as billing capacity reached 485 megawatts, Blockspace Media reported. -- The revenue line is the test of whether bitcoin miners can cover power and construction costs after converting sites to AI hosting; contracted capacity rather than hashrate is now the metric investors will price, leaving the stock exposed to hyperscaler spending and financing conditions. 4. London Jury Convicts Russell Brand of Rape and Three Assaults -- A London jury convicted the comedian and actor of one count of rape and three counts of sexual assault spanning 1999 to 2009; Judge Joel Bennathan said Brand faces a "significant custodial term" and set sentencing for Monday. -- The convictions cover conduct from Brand's peak television years and harden the legal record for other complainants, while renewing scrutiny of the culture that shielded him at broadcasters.

Hackers Steal About €100 Million From Crédit Mutuel Arkéa's Own Account -- The French regional bank said Wednesday that hackers accessed an account held by Arkéa and made fraudulent transfers of about €100 million to other banks; it said the attack was contained and clients suffered no losses, France 24 reported. -- The money left the institution's own account rather than customer balances, leaving the bank to pursue recovery while depositors are unaffected; the Financial Times reported the techniques echo last week's Binance heist, putting bank treasury operations and exchange wallets in the same threat category. 2. Fed Survey Shows Banks Tightening Credit to Small Firms and Commercial Property -- The Federal Reserve's October bank lending survey found tighter standards for small businesses and commercial real estate, with subprime borrowers facing tougher credit, CNBC reported. -- Credit standards tighten before rate decisions do: small firms refinance at wider spreads and property borrowers face lower loan-to-value terms, so a December increase in the 3.75%-4% benchmark would land on an already contracting channel. 3. French Unions Stage National Strike as 70,000 Police Deployed -- Hundreds of thousands of marchers were expected across France as unions called a nationwide strike extending to hospital, air-traffic, postal, teaching and rail staff, with 70,000 officers deployed as demonstrations began in Marseille, Grenoble and Lyon, the Guardian reported. -- The action tests whether cost-of-living anger can force concessions from a government already fighting inflation, and transport and hospital stoppages put the disruption on commuters and patients rather than ministries; a large turnout sets the baseline for further autumn action.

Putin Places Japan Tobacco's Russian Assets Under Temporary Administration -- President Vladimir Putin placed Japan Tobacco's Russian assets under temporary administration, Channel NewsAsia reported, extending state control over a major foreign manufacturer's local operations without a formal expropriation. -- Temporary administration lets the Kremlin install management and control cash flow while leaving ownership contested, complicating any sale or exit valuation; for Tokyo it adds political risk to a market that has kept foreign consumer brands operating through sanctions. 2. Bomb Threats Force More European Flight Diversions as Experts See Coordinated Campaign -- At least 17 more flights across Europe received bomb threats and several were diverted or searched, after a wave of hoaxes this week; the EU transport commissioner said it was too early to say whether the alerts were linked, while experts described a coordinated campaign to disrupt air travel. -- Each hoax forces a diversion, fighter escort, apron closure and rescreening that cascades through short-haul schedules for little cost to the sender; repeated alerts stretch airport security and give carriers a recurring operational bill without any confirmed device. 3. European Stocks Approach Record High as Traders Bet Midterm Sweep Curbs Trump -- European equities climbed toward an all-time high as investors bet the scale of the Republican defeat in the US midterms will restrain White House policymaking that has weighed on markets, the Financial Times reported. -- A divided Washington limits tariff and regulatory shocks, but the same gridlock removes federal pre-emption of local data-center moratoriums that AI infrastructure depends on; the rally is a bet on paralysis, not on faster growth.

Bank of England Raises Rates to 4% and Signals More Unless Iran War Ends -- The Bank of England lifted Bank Rate to 4% from 3.75% on Thursday, its first increase since August 2023, with eight of nine Monetary Policy Committee members backing the quarter-point move and one favouring a bigger rise; Governor Andrew Bailey said it was unlikely to be the last unless the Middle East conflict is resolved. -- About 510,000 tracker mortgage holders face roughly £31 more a month, UK Finance estimates, and anyone refinancing meets two-year fixed rates averaging 5.96%, so the drag lands on consumption well before inflation eases; the MPC's central forecast has inflation peaking at 4.9% next year and not reaching 2% until 2028. 2. Oil Market Flips to Surplus Despite Months of Gulf Disruption -- JPMorgan estimated supply exceeded demand by 1.4 million barrels a day last month, Semafor reported, as Brent extended its slide below $97 even with Hormuz shipping still exposed to mines. -- A physical surplus removes the cushion argument that held the war premium in place, shifting the risk from shortage toward producers defending volume against each other; cheap crude now does part of the disinflation work central banks are raising rates for. 3. Binance and Deribit Revoke SignalPlus API Keys After Security Issue -- Both exchanges pulled API keys issued through trading-terminal provider SignalPlus after a security issue, forcing users of the integration to re-authorise. -- API keys are bearer credentials that can place orders and, depending on scope, move funds, so revocation ahead of any reported loss is the cheap option; traders running automated strategies through the terminal lose connectivity until keys are reissued, and third-party key custody returns to review.

Saudi Coalition Intercepts Missile Fired at Medina -- A ballistic missile aimed at Medina, one of Islam's holiest cities, was intercepted on Thursday, a spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition fighting Yemen's Houthi rebels said, shortly after the kingdom's civil defence agency warned of danger around the port of Yanbu. -- Medina carries pilgrimage traffic while Yanbu loads the crude exports that bypass Hormuz through the East-West pipeline, so one salvo puts religious and energy infrastructure in the same target set; underwriters fold that pairing into Red Sea war-risk cover before any tanker sails. 2. UK Tells OSCE That Russia Is Passing Assertion Off as Evidence -- Britain's senior military adviser to the OSCE, Colonel Joby Rimmer, said Russian presentations rely on undated photographs, self-citation and unsupported attributions, and welcomed the approved sale of 500 Patriot interceptors to Ukraine alongside a new £10 billion UK package including £500 million for air defences. -- Approval is not delivery, and interceptor rounds still set Kyiv's interception rate through the winter; UK commitments now total £35 billion, so the test is whether partner stockpiles actually move as fast as the announcements made at the forum. 3. AI Industry Offers Cash and Concessions to Sell Data Centres to Hostile Voters -- Companies behind the AI build-out are offering communities dividends, school funding, environmental concessions and labour protections, and rebranding projects as "compute campuses", after voters passed restrictions in ballot measures across the country, Axios reported. -- Payments and benefits become the standing price of a permit now that local ballots, not federal pre-emption, gate grid connections; each concession lifts project cost for operators already borrowing against capacity that does not yet exist. 4. Poland Charges Four With Spying for Moscow -- Polish prosecutors charged four people with espionage for Russia and accused two others of shipping military components eastwards, DW reported. -- Components are the harder half to police: dual-use parts cross borders under customs codes rather than export licences, so a procurement network that lives on paperwork exposes allied supply chains and not only Polish counter-intelligence.

Massie Moves to Impeach Hegseth Over Iran War as House Vote Nears -- Representative Thomas Massie is sponsoring a House measure that could reach a vote as early as next week to impeach Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for allegedly defying Congress and illegally continuing the U.S. war in Iran, Axios reported. -- An impeachment trial would put the Pentagon's leadership and the war's legal basis before the Senate while Trump weighs renewed strikes, giving Democrats a second front beyond legislation and exposing the chain of command to months of uncertainty. 2. U.S. Sanctions Indian and Turkish Firms Over Iranian Tanker Network -- The U.S. Treasury sanctioned Indian and Turkish firms accused of helping Iran's oil trade, saying an Indian couple faked ship registries for countries including Guyana and Laos to service Iranian tankers. -- Registry fraud lets sanctioned cargoes pass as flag-state trade, so designating the intermediaries narrows the opaque shipping chain Iran uses to move crude and raises compliance checks for insurers, port agents and refiners still buying the barrels. 3. Binance Hack Prompts U.S. Regulators to Check Bank Exposure -- U.S. regulators contacted banks after the hack at Binance to check whether the exchange breach had reached their systems, according to people cited by Channel NewsAsia. -- The calls treat a crypto venue as a counterparty risk to regulated finance; if the intrusion touched settlement, custody or stablecoin reserves, banks face disclosure and capital questions that exchange reimbursement pledges do not settle. 4. Apple to Scan Public iCloud Links for Harmful Content -- Apple will begin checking publicly shared iCloud links for harmful content from iOS 27.3, iPadOS 27.3, macOS 27.3 and visionOS 27.3, applying the scans to photos and files made accessible to anyone with the link. -- Only content users deliberately expose is checked, so private libraries avoid the on-device scanning fights that followed Apple's abandoned CSAM plan; shared albums and Drive links now carry a moderation layer Apple controls.

Russian Drones Hit Chernihiv Energy Site and Set Ryazan Refinery Ablaze -- An overnight drone strike damaged an energy facility in Ukraine's Chernihiv region, wrecked houses in the Berezna community and forced emergency outages in one district with rolling blackouts elsewhere, regional head Viacheslav Chaus said, while a mass drone attack on Russia's Ryazan region set fire to a refinery that supplies aviation fuel and diesel to the Russian military. -- Hitting generation and a large refinery in the same night squeezes both grids: Ukrainian crews must repair before heating demand peaks, while the fire bites into the fuel chain feeding Russian military aviation and domestic diesel supply. 2. Aer Lingus Jet Diverted to French Airbase in Latest Hoax Bomb Alert -- An Aer Lingus Airbus A320 bound for Rome from Dublin was diverted to the Evreux military base west of Paris after a bomb threat and landed under escort by a French Rafale, with a bomb-disposal team inspecting the aircraft, the prime minister's office said; Rome Fiumicino suspended departures and seven European flights were searched or diverted earlier in the week. -- A hoax costs a carrier a diversion, a fighter escort, apron closure and rescreening, and the cumulative rate is what strains the system: airports are absorbing repeat alerts that cascade through short-haul schedules with no confirmed device behind any of them. 3. GhostMap Android Flaw Boot-Loops Phones and Google Declines to Patch It -- Bitdefender built an app carrying no executable code and requesting no permissions that forces Android into a permanent reboot loop through a malformed package that maps a file past its own contents; its test Pixel 10 looped 110 times, safe mode became unreachable, and Google closed the August 20 report as not reproducible and out of scope for a security update. -- Recovery means a factory reset or deleting the file over ADB, which only works if debugging was already enabled and the script beats the next crash, so the practical loss is on-device data; third-party security tools can flag the package but cannot block installation, leaving the install prompt as the only choke point.

Nintendo Switch 2 Sales Fall 41% as Memory Costs Force Price Rises -- Nintendo's Switch 2 sales fell 41% in the company's fiscal second quarter after price increases tied to soaring memory costs. -- The memory crunch created by AI data-centre demand is now lifting input bills for consumer hardware, and Nintendo passed part of it into retail prices in a soft market; component supply decides whether the installed base grows fast enough to carry software revenue. 2. Russian Strike Damages Odesa Warehouse and Energy Infrastructure -- A Russian attack in Ukraine's southern Odesa region partially destroyed a delivery company's warehouse and damaged energy infrastructure and an educational institution, Ukrinform reported. -- Hitting a parcel depot alongside grid assets puts civilian logistics and winter power repair in the same raid; warehouse damage interrupts distribution for retailers dependent on road freight, and energy repairs compete for crews as heating demand rises.

Hong Kong Jails Joshua Wong for 10 More Years Over Collusion -- Wong, 30, was sentenced Thursday to another 10 years under the national security law for colluding with foreign forces, the BBC reported, making him one of hundreds of Hongkongers detained since the statute was imposed. -- The term sets the price for offshore advocacy: testifying to Western legislatures or pressing for sanctions now carries a decade-scale sentence, narrowing what remains of the city's independent civil society. 2. South Korea Moves to Delay Crypto Gains Tax to 2029 -- Finance Minister Lee Hyoung-il said Thursday the government will seek a two-year postponement of the planned 22% levy on annual crypto gains above 2.5 million won, citing the 2029 start of tax-information exchange with Washington and what would be a fourth delay. -- Three postponements have left Korean traders taxed on different terms from overseas venues, and the ministry's parallel plan to allow three-year loss carryforwards concedes how thin margins are; exchanges still wait on the stalled digital asset law. 3. Seoul Shares Plunge 5.3% and Won Slips as AI Fears Hit Chipmakers -- The KOSPI closed down 5.28% at 5,383.80 with foreigners net sellers of 3.39 trillion won, and the won eased to 1,342.1 per dollar, after Democratic wins in the US midterms stoked concern about slower data-center construction. -- An index concentrated in memory and foundry names carries the drawdown into pension and retail portfolios and works against the currency; Samsung's 38% DRAM share keeps the market hostage to hyperscaler capital budgets rather than to domestic demand.

MPs Warn Britain 'Dangerously' Exposed on China Critical Minerals -- The Commons business select committee found the UK dependent on Chinese refining across seven mineral categories, heard lithium demand would rise 45-fold by 2030, and urged a centralised strategy plus a state finance facility for mines. -- The bottleneck sits in processing rather than deposits, so new mines alone do not shorten the exposure — rare earths go into jet airframes and permanent magnets — and the January 2027 US-China truce on export curbs leaves London's supply hostage to a bargain it does not control. 3. OpenAI Pipeline Finds 948 Linux Root Escalation Flaws in 30-Hour Run -- OpenAI detailed a pipeline using an unreleased cyber-focused model that analysed 2,308 Linux kernel findings, reproduced 1,724 and produced 948 working local privilege-escalation exploits for $1.2m in API costs. -- Local escalation flaws are what an intruder needs after landing on a host, so 948 candidates arrive at distribution maintainers and enterprise kernel teams as a prioritisation problem; the $1.2m bill also sets a price benchmark for AI-assisted bug hunting that smaller projects cannot match.

David Jones Collapses Into Administration After 188 Years -- David Jones' board appointed McGrathNicol administrators and its financier installed FTI Consulting as receivers on Thursday after rent talks with landlord Scentre Group broke down, with stores still trading and creditors due to meet next week. -- Gift-card holders and unpaid suppliers rank behind the secured lender, and expected closures fall hardest on outer-suburban and regional malls, leaving landlords with empty anchor tenants. 3. OpenAI Prepares 2027 Listing as Enterprise Clients Overtake Consumer Sales -- OpenAI is ready to hold an IPO in 2027 and now derives most of its revenue from enterprise customers, president Greg Brockman said, Channel NewsAsia reported. -- A business-heavy book gives underwriters multi-year contracts to market instead of volatile consumer subscriptions, but it also invites procurement scrutiny and disclosure of the compute commitments that already make AI listing paper look speculative. 4. Seoul Shares Tumble Far Enough to Trip KOSPI Sidecar -- South Korea's bourse operator activated a sell-side sidecar for the KOSPI on Thursday as shares fell sharply, with chipmakers leading the decline after the US midterms deepened doubts over AI spending, Yonhap reported. -- The sidecar halts program selling for five minutes but does not fix the underlying repricing; a market concentrated in memory and foundry names carries the drawdown into pension and retail portfolios and works against the won.

That offers commercial shipping a non-combat escort and mine-clearance capability without putting Korean troops inside the contested strait itself. 2. Israel's Herzog Accepts Certified Result and Opens Coalition Consultations -- President Isaac Herzog accepted the election commission's certified result Wednesday and began consultations with party leaders, with Benjamin Netanyahu's bloc holding 53 seats and Gadi Eisenkot's 48 after Arab-led parties won a record 19. -- Ra'am's recommendation put Eisenkot at 56, leaving the Joint List's 11 seats decisive; Herzog's choice will decide whether Netanyahu gets another route to government or Israel's next coalition depends on Arab-led support, freezing West Bank and Iran-strike policy until it is settled. 3. Voters Approve Nearly Every Data-Center Moratorium on Local Ballots -- Voters approved nearly every data-center moratorium put before them Tuesday, dozens in total across at least 40 jurisdictions in 10 states, in a broad rebuke of facilities tied to the AI build-out. -- Local ballots now constrain permitting more tightly than federal policy: each delay pushes interconnection and construction spending further out, raising funding costs for operators borrowing against capacity that does not yet exist while new Democratic statehouse majorities add grid and ratepayer scrutiny.

South Korea’s FSC Orders Security Sweep of 580 Financial Firms After Data Leak -- The Financial Services Commission said 40 leak incidents at 37 banks, brokers, insurers and savings banks since Sept. 30 exposed more than 470,000 personal data records, with about 1 billion won (US$745,000) stolen from some firms; it will inspect 580 companies by the end of November. -- The leaked data stopped short of names, national identification numbers and account numbers, so the immediate risk is targeted phishing and credential stuffing rather than direct account takeover; the regulator’s promise to hold CEOs liable puts board-level exposure on firms whose controls fail. 3. Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Due for Sentencing in Collusion Case -- Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong is due to be sentenced for collusion, Channel NewsAsia reported, in the latest national-security prosecution of a prominent democracy campaigner. -- The term will show how far the national security law reaches international advocacy; a heavy sentence narrows the practical space for Hong Kong groups to maintain overseas ties. 4.

Russia Has Stockpiled Up to 700 Ballistic Missiles, Ukrainian Intelligence Says -- Ukrainian intelligence assessed that Russia had accumulated as many as 700 ballistic missiles and several thousand cruise missiles by October 2026, Ukrinform reported. -- The inventory sets how long Moscow can sustain mass strikes on Ukraine's energy system through winter; with Patriot interceptor deliveries years away, Kyiv's air-defence stocks rather than Russian production now determine the damage rate. 2. Pentagon to Publish Legal Rules for AI Labs This Month -- The Pentagon's chief technology officer said the US government will detail this month which laws apply to artificial-intelligence laboratories, Channel NewsAsia reported. -- The guidance tells contractors which statutes and export controls bind model work for the military; a clear rulebook speeds procurement, while ambiguity pushes labs to keep defence business separate from commercial research. 3. South Korea Posts Record $60 Billion Current Account Surplus on Chip Exports -- South Korea recorded an all-time high current account surplus above $60 billion in September as semiconductor exports surged, Yonhap reported. -- The chip-led surplus supports the won and the Bank of Korea's case for another rate rise, but ties Asia's fourth-largest economy to a memory cycle investors are already questioning; Seoul shares opened 1.8% lower as the PHLX chip index hit a six-month low.

North Korea Says It Test-Fired a New Air-Defence Missile -- Pyongyang said Thursday it test-fired a newly designed air-defence missile system, Yonhap reported, days after firing ballistic missiles from Sondok and testing a dispersal warhead for cruise missiles. -- Interceptor batteries shield launch sites and command nodes from the suppression campaign US and South Korean aircraft train for, so a working layer around the capital raises the price of striking the North's missile bases rather than its cities alone.
