U.S. stocks mixed, Nvidia drags down techs

NEW YORK, New York - U.S. stocks were fragmented Tuesday with the Dow Jones rising hundreds of points, while the Nasdaq Composite floundered. Influencing the tech sector was an announcement by SoftBank that it had sold off its entire Nvidia holding for $5.83 billion. "These tech companies, they're cash flow machines," Bill Fitzpatrick, portfolio manager at Logan Capital Management, told CNBC Tuesday. "They're terrific companies, but the starting point does matter, and given where they're valued today, it doesn't take much – a little bit of negative news – for the sentiment to turn just a little bit and you get an unwind that is more favorable to value equities." U.S. markets presented a tale of two trajectories in Tuesday's final half-hour of trading, with the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average staging a powerful rally while technology stocks lagged, dragging the Nasdaq Composite into negative territory. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) was the day's standout performer, soaring 566.50 points, a gain of 1.20 percent, to settle at 47,935.13. with less than 30 minutes trading on the clock. The surge was driven by strong earnings and renewed investor confidence in industrial and financial sectors. In contrast, the NASDAQ Composite (^IXIC), heavily weighted toward technology stocks, bucked the positive trend. It declined 41.13 points, or 0.17 percent, to trade at 23,486.04. The dip suggests a rotation out of some growth-oriented names that have led the market for much of the year. The broader S&P 500 (^GSPC), which tracks 500 of the largest U.S. companies, managed a modest gain. It advanced 18.80 points, or 0.28 percent, to 6,851.23, reflecting the mixed sentiment between traditional industrials and the tech sector. "Today's action is all about sector rotation," Angela White, a senior market strategist at Sterling Capital. said Tuesday. "Investors are taking profits from the high-flying tech names that have seen massive runs and are moving into value-oriented blue-chips that are showing strong earnings momentum. It's a vote of confidence in the broader economy, even if it comes at the expense of the megacaps." The divergent performance sets the stage for a volatile week, with investors keenly awaiting key economic data, including the latest inflation figures, for further direction on the health of the economy and the path of interest rates. Late-Tuesday Trading Snapshot: Dow Jones Industrial Average: 47,935.13, +566.50 points (+1.20 percent) S&P 500 Index: 6,851.23, +18.80 points (+0.28 percent) NASDAQ Composite: 23,486.04, -41.13 points (-0.17 percent) U.S. Dollar Shows Mixed Performance as Swiss Franc Strengthens The U.S. dollar presented a fragmented picture in Tuesday's trading, firming against several major currencies but facing a sharp sell-off against the Swiss franc and a resilient Euro. The most significant move was seen in the USD/CHF pair, where the U.S. dollar tumbled 0.53 percent against the Swiss franc to trade at 0.8002. The drop highlights a flight to traditional safe-haven assets amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and market uncertainty. In contrast, the Euro (EUR/USD) was a notable gainer, climbing 0.27 percent to 1.1587. The common currency found support from hawkish commentary from European Central Bank officials, who signaled a reluctance to begin cutting interest rates in the near term. "The market is reassessing the interest rate divergence story. The Euro's strength and the Franc's surge suggest traders are betting that other central banks may not follow the Fed as quickly as previously thought," said Michael Tan, a senior forex analyst at Global Capital Partners. The British pound (GBP/USD) was relatively steady, edging down a marginal 0.03 percent to 1.3168. Commodity-linked currencies were mixed. The Australian dollar (AUD/USD) dipped 0.08 percent to 0.6530, while the New Zealand dollar (NZD/USD) managed a 0.22 percent gain to 0.5657. Against the Japanese yen, the USD/JPY pair was virtually unchanged, inching down a mere 0.01 percent to hold at 154.10. The US dollar also saw a slight pullback against its Canadian counterpart, with USD/CAD falling 0.08 percent to 1.4009. Market participants are now looking ahead to key U.S. inflation data due later in the week, which is expected to provide the next major catalyst for the greenback's trajectory. Key Foreign Exchange Rates Snapshot: EUR/USD: 1.1587, +0.27 percent USD/JPY: 154.10, -0.01 percent GBP/USD: 1.3168, -0.03 percent USD/CHF: 0.8002, -0.53 percent USD/CAD: 1.4009, -0.08 percent AUD/USD: 0.6530, -0.08 percent NZD/USD: 0.5657, +0.22 percent FTSE 100 Joins European Rally as Asian and Middle Eastern Markets Show Mixed Results Stock markets in the United Kingdom and continental Europe surged on Tuesday, while trading across Asia and the Middle East presented a fragmented picture, with notable gains in India contrasting with declines in several other markets. Canada's main benchmark, in the final hour of trading Tuesday mirrored the steady gains of the S&P 500. The S&P/TSX Composite Index (^GSPTSE) climbed 91.77 points, or 0.30 percent, to last trade at 30,408.40, supported by strength in its heavyweight financial and energy sectors. London's FTSE 100 was a strong performer, climbing 112.45 points or 1.15 percent to close at 9,899.60. The rally was mirrored across the English Channel, where France's CAC 40 jumped 100.72 points (1.25 percent) and Germany's DAX advanced 128.07 points (0.53 percent). The pan-European EURO STOXX 50 index rose 1.08 percent. "The synchronized gains in London and major continental bourses suggest a broad, risk-on sentiment is taking hold, likely driven by optimism around corporate earnings and stable interest rate expectations," said Claudia Rossi, a market strategist at Global Equities Partners. Asian Markets Lack Direction In Asia, performance was mixed. India's benchmark S&P BSE Sensex continued its record-breaking run, adding 335.97 points (0.40 percent) to close at a new high of 83,871.32. South Korea's KOSPI also posted solid gains, rising 0.81 percent. However, the momentum was not universal. Japan's Nikkei 225 dipped slightly, down 0.14 percent, while China's SSE Composite fell 0.39 percent. Markets in Taiwan, Indonesia, and Australia also ended the session in negative territory. Middle East and Africa: A Divergent Picture Trading in other regions showed clear divergence. In the Middle East, Israel's TA-125 edged up 0.31 percent, while Egypt's EGX 30 fell 0.41 percent. South Africa's Top 40 Index was a positive standout, gaining 0.41 percent. In Southeast Asia, Malaysia's FTSE KLCI rose 0.46 percent, but Singapore's STI Index was a much stronger performer, climbing 1.20 percent. The day's varied results highlight the different economic forces at play in regional economies, setting the stage for a week sensitive to local data and global commodity prices.

Russian troops advance inside encircled Kupyansk MOD

Ukraine has denied that its forces are losing control of the key supply hub Russian troops are continuing their advance inside the encircled Ukrainian city of Kupyansk, a major logistics hub in Kharkov Region, according to battlefield updates shared by the Russian Defense Ministry. Moscow previously reported that more than 5,000 Ukrainian soldiers were trapped in the city and were offered safe surrender terms. Vladimir Zelensky has rejected the terms, claiming that Ukrainian forces are maintaining control of the situation. On Monday and Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry published field reports from a commander identified by the call sign 'Lovets', who leads an assault unit taking part in the operation. He stated that his men advanced further along Dzerzinsky Street in Kupyansk's industrial zone and are now working to seize additional railway junctions. Zelensky insisted last week that only around 60 Russian soldiers were present in Kupyansk and that Ukrainian troops were successfully repelling them. The Russian Defense Ministry called the comments "detached from reality," suggesting that the Ukrainian leader is either lying to the public or being misled by his own commanders. Along with the battle for Kupyansk, intense fighting continues near Krasnoarmeysk (known as Pokrovsk in Ukraine) in Russia's Donetsk People's Republic, where Ukrainian elite troops reportedly suffered heavy losses shortly after being airlifted into the combat zone in an attempt to reverse Russian advancements. Zelensky's critics, including some within Ukraine's military circles, have accused him of focusing on keeping up appearances to reassure Kiev's Western sponsors at the expense of military strategy. His refusal to authorize tactical withdrawals, they claim, has turned several defensive battles into costly traps for Ukrainian troops.

"Very important relationship": Trump on swearing-in of Sergio Gor as US Ambassador to India

Washington DC [US], November 11 (ANI): Praising India as 'one of the world's oldest civilisations' and 'the largest country in the world', United States President Donald Trump presided over the swearing-in ceremony of Sergio Gor as the next US Ambassador to India, underscoring the vital importance of the US-India partnership Trump said he was entrusting Gor to further strengthen strategic, economic, and security ties with New Delhi, while deepening America's 'fantastic relationship' with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Making remarks from the Oval Office, Trump said, 'Today we are thrilled to be here for the swearing-in of our next Ambassador to India and special envoy to South and Central Asia, which is a big deal and Sergio will handle it better than anybody could handle it. I want to congratulate Sergio' Present at the swearing-in ceremony were US Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary Scott Bessent, Attorney General Pam Bondi and US Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro, Erika Kirk and several senators. In his remarks during the swearing-in ceremony of Sergio Gor, the US President said, 'I'm trusting Sergio to help strengthen our country's one of the most important international relationships, and that is the strategic partnership with the Republic of India. It's a big deal. India is a home to one of the world's oldest civilisations, the largest country in the world and it has got over 1.5 billion people and we have a fantastic relationship with Prime Minister Modi and Sergio's enhanced that because he's become already friendly with Prime Minister. Knowing that Sergio is going to be the Ambassador, they would call constantly to say, 'let's get to know this man' and they like what they see.' 'I know you're gonna have a great success over there. It's a very important relationship. It's also the fastest-growing middle class and it's an important economic and strategic security partner in the Indo-Pacific region. It's an amazing country'. 'As the Ambassador, Sergio will work to fortify our country's bond, promote investments in key US industries and technologies, increase American energy exports, and expand our security cooperation', he further added. After taking the oath, Gor thanked Trump for entrusting him with the responsibility of the relationship with India and said, 'I look forward to enhancing the relationship between our two nations. I look forward to doing a great job for you'. In August, Trump nominated Sergio Gor as India's next ambassador and Special Envoy for South and Central Asian Affairs. During his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in September, Gor had emphasised that India is 'one of the most important relationships our nation (US) has in the world.' Ahead of his swearing-in, he had visited India in October and met Prime Minister Narendra Modi, EAM S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval. (ANI)

WA news LIVE: Cloverdale unit destroyed by lithium iron battery

A fire has broken out at a unit in Perth’s eastern suburbs this morning, gutting the property. It’s believed the blaze, which started around 4am at a home on Belmont Avenue in Cloverdale, was caused by a lithium iron battery. Three people were at home at the time, and were alerted to the danger by a smoke alarm. They were treated by paramedics for smoke inhalation. Department of Fire and Emergency Services district officer Steve Lusk said it took firefighters around an hour to bring the blaze under control. “The fire appears to have started in one of the bedrooms, caused by a lithium iron battery on charge for an escooter,” he said. “The fire has gutted the house, it got into the roof space.” The fire was contained to the one unit. Firefighters have attended more than 130 lithium iron battery-related fires in Western Australia this year alone - which equates to around three a week.

Joe Camilleri is hanging around his kitchen and playing a big-bodied red guitar. When he’s not doing interviews, he strums out a tune or two. But duty eventually calls and it’s time to talk music rather than play music. Our chat centres on new album The Quintessential Black Sorrows, a career-spanning collection Joe personally curated. Within minutes he is time-travelling through the decades, recalling everything from café gigs and car-boot sales to writing radio anthems and European tours. “It was a big list that turned into a short list, and then had to turn into a shorter list,” Camilleri says of compiling the songs for the two-LP collection. “I wanted the vinyl to feel like a journey. Five tracks a side (with one exception) – you drop the needle and hear the making of the band.” Camilleri hasn’t sequenced the music chronologically. “Our career wasn’t that. We’ve been bouncing around the place – different ideas, different line-ups,” he says. “I wanted the record to flow emotionally.” The story, as Camilleri tells it, starts in a kitchen with a crate of records. After Jo Jo Zep & the Falcons had run its course, he was stacking vegetables on trucks at the market when a mate up the road suggested playing some music. “He said, why don’t you come and play at the café?” he recalls. “I grabbed a few pals. We did a Sunday arvo. It went over so well we did it again. I didn’t have songs, and I wasn’t interested in playing Falcons songs. It had a life of its own. It was refreshing.” The idea lit the fuse: zydeco, R&B, French accordion music, even Chuck Berry began floating into the mix. Those beginnings – and the lack of a label – led to a DIY streak. Before the majors circled back, The Black Sorrows were selling albums out of the car boot. “We had to be independent,” he says. “Not out of design – out of necessity.” Radio started spinning Dear Children and CBS picked up the record. “All of a sudden we had a following,” he recalls. “And a band that sounded different to what was being played. And we had a front line – I wasn’t in the middle. The girls were. Everyone was a lead singer.” Those girls were, of course, Vika and Linda Bull, recruited after a Sorrows stretch that saw them recording with the legendary Venetta Fields. “They weren’t great at first,” Camilleri grins, “But I knew they would be. They had that synchronicity, that island dancing, and a beautiful feel.” The Sorrows became a show band without being showy – songs first, then the spectacle that naturally followed. In the studio, magic announced itself in odd ways. “With Hold On To Me, I knew we had something. Lucky Oceans came in and played one of the best solos of my recording career. Sometimes I love the outro more than the song.” The new compilation makes room for the songs that never leave the set – Harley & Rose, Chained to the Wheel – but also for side-roads and songs from the commercial margins. “I like songs that don’t have a shelf life,” Camilleri says. There’s fresh work here, too – a new single For Your Love that sounds every inch the classic Sorrows cut: lyrical, melodic, built to last. Camilleri describes the process with long-time co-writer Nick Smith. “I’m the nuts and bolts—melody, feel, the thing you can sing,” he says. “Nick’s the wordsmith. Sometimes a lyric arrives and all I have to do is not ruin it. We’ll change a bridge if it needs it. When it blossoms into spring, you feel it.” Camilleri is 77, still writing, still rehearsing, still chasing the next song. “It’s a fragile world, the art world,” he says. “Lots of moving parts just to get to something. But I’m still as excited by it as I was at 13, trying to play the same stuff. Some songs take years; some fall off the bone. Maybe all that work was happening underneath.” Ask him about formats and he lights up like a record store clerk. “I’ve got all the players – vinyl, CD, streaming,” he says. “My old CD deck blew up, but when I put a disc on in the car it sounds huge. Vinyl makes you get up, drop the needle, pay attention. That’s part of why this compilation is sequenced the way it is.” In the end, The Quintessential Black Sorrows is less a greatest-hits victory lap than a living map of how Camilleri moves through the world: curious, collaborative, restless. “It’s all about friendship,” he says. “Trying to get through life the best way you can. You’ve got to want to be part of it.” He pauses, smiling at the thought of the next session or the next stage. “I’m still up for it. What else am I gonna do?” The Quintessential Black Sorrows is available through ABC Records. For tour dates, go to theblacksorrows.com.au/gigs

Giants QB Jaxson Dart Departs Game vs. Bears for Concussion Evaluation

Jaxson Dart's Sunday might have ended prematurely. The New York Giants quarterback departed Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears early in the fourth quarter to be evaluated for a concussion. Dart left the game after taking a hard hit on a sack by Bears linebacker Noah Sewell. After getting evaluated on the sideline for a brief moment, Dart was ushered into the locker room for further evaluation. Russell Wilson entered the game to replace the injured Dart. At the time of the injury, the Giants held a surprising 17-10 lead over the Bears. Dart was a big reason for the lead, completing 19 of 29 passes for 242 yards to go with 66 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. With his rushing score on Sunday, Dart became the first quarterback in NFL history to rush for a touchdown in five straight games. Wilson was able to lead the Giants to a field goal later on, extending their lead to 20-10. Dart has provided a jolt for the Giants' offense this year. The 2025 first-round pick was 2-4 in the games he started entering Sunday's game, taking over after Wilson led them to an 0-3 start. This is a developing story and will be updated.

Trump says Americans will get payments of 'at least $2,000' from tariff revenue

Citing the successful nature of his tariffs imposed on foreign trade partners, U.S. President Donald Trump said Sunday the revenue raised by those import taxes will be used to pay down the national debt, invest in the U.S., and send direct payments to Americans."People that are against Tariffs are FOOLS!" the president wrote on his Truth Social platform. "We are now the Richest, Most Respected Country In the World, With Almost No Inflation, and A Record Stock Market Price. 401k’s are Highest EVER."ADDITIONAL REPORTING | What happens to revenue brought in by Trump's tariffs?"We are taking in Trillions of Dollars and will soon begin paying down our ENORMOUS DEBT, $37 Trillion," President Trump added. "Record investment in the USA, plants and factories going up all over the place. A dividend of at least $2000 a person (not including high income people!) will be paid to everyone."According to a September report from the Treasury Department, a total of $195 billion in customs duties were brought in during the first three quarters of the fiscal year. But since President Trump imposed his sweeping tariff agenda earlier this year, some companies have passed on tariff costs to consumers.This also isn't the first time someone has proposed the idea of directing tariff revenue back to American citizens who face rising costs. Earlier this year, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) introduced a bill titled the American Worker Rebate Act, also advocating for a share of the record tariff revenue to go directly to the American people.RELATED STORY | Supreme Court appears skeptical of Trump’s use of emergency powers for tariffsHawley's proposal suggests that $600 per adult and child should be deposited by the Treasury Department into qualifying bank accounts. To be eligible, individuals must earn under $75,000 per year, and couples filing jointly must make under $150,000. Those with higher incomes would receive a reduced payout.However, the bill has stalled, and with the federal government shutdown stretching into day 40 on Sunday, any action from Congress is unlikely until lawmakers can agree on a proposal to end the current impasse.

Why has Tim Davie resigned and what was the Trump documentary edit?

Last week, the Daily Telegraph published an exclusive report, saying it had seen a leaked internal BBC memo. The memo came from Michael Prescott, a former independent external adviser to the broadcaster's editorial standards committee. He left the role in June. The memo suggested that the one-hour Panorama documentary had edited parts of Trump's speech together so he appeared to explicitly encourage the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021. In his speech in Washington DC on 6 January 2021, Trump said: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol, and we're going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women." However, in the Panorama edit he was shown saying: "We're going to walk down to the Capitol... and I'll be there with you. And we fight. We fight like hell." The two sections of the speech that were edited together were more than 50 minutes apart. The "fight like hell" comment was taken from a section where Trump discussed how "corrupt" US elections were. In total, he used the words "fight" or "fighting" 20 times in the speech. According to the Telegraph, the document said Panorama's "distortion of the day's events" would leave viewers asking: "Why should the BBC be trusted, and where will this all end?" When the issue was raised with managers, the memo continued, they "refused to accept there had been a breach of standards". The BBC has come under scrutiny over a number of other different issues in recent weeks. The Telegraph also reported that Mr Prescott raised concerns about a lack of action to address "systemic problems" of anti-Israel bias in the coverage of the Gaza war by the BBC Arabic news service. The report also said Mr Prescott had raised concerns about the BBC's coverage around trans issues. And on Thursday, the BBC upheld 20 impartiality complaints over the way presenter Martine Croxall earlier this year altered a script she was reading live on the BBC News Channel, which referred to "pregnant people".

Are you a spender, a saver or a splurger? We’re looking for readers who will keep a money diary for a week. If you’re interested send a mail to money@thejournal.ie. We would love to hear from you. Each money diary is submitted by readers just like you. When reading and commenting, bear in mind that their situation will not be relatable for everyone, it is simply an account of a week in their shoes, so let’s be kind. Last time around, we heard from an investment banker on £75K who moved to London last year. This week, a marketing manager on €63K living in Dublin. I’m in my 30s and currently living in Dublin with my parents. After living abroad for a few years, I moved back to Ireland earlier this year and back into my family home as the cost of rent in Dublin is crazy. It’s been nice to be around family again after living away. I am very lucky to be able to save on rent at the moment. I do have a decent pot of savings built up now (approx €70k) and aim to save around €1,000 per month. I am currently only on a temporary work contract, so I’m not too sure what will happen when that ends, so for now, I’m just saving for the future. In my spare time I like to travel, catch up with friends over dinner or coffee. I enjoy doing yoga classes on the weekends, as well as running, and also like to practice hobbies such as art. Occupation: Marketing manager Location: Dublin Salary: €63,000 (plus bonus up to €10k) Monthly pay (net): €3,300 (I get paid x13 times per year) Monthly expenses Transport: €25 – I walk as much as possible and don’t own a car Rent: €300 – I pay my parents this amount each month (very appreciative of how privileged my situation is) Household bills: €0 (covered in rent) Phone bill: €20 Health insurance: €0 (covered by my employer) Groceries: €50/100 – living at home means I buy very little groceries Subscriptions: €10 gym (subsidised by my employer), €200 monthly community studio membership payment Pension: €290 7.00 am: I get up and get ready for work. I’m in the office today, usually on Mondays I can work from home but today I need to be there for an in-person meeting. Advertisement 9.00 am: I’m at the desk catching up on emails and prepping for the day. I have breakfast that I prepped the night before while at my desk. 12.00 am: Lunch time – I have lunch with my team in our canteen. We’re very lucky that our company subsidizes lunches so it’s always very cheap. It’s €3 today for chicken and salad 3.00 pm: Busy afternoon of meetings. 6.30 pm: Finally finishing up for the day after a very busy Monday. I put some music on and get going on my walk home. 7.45 pm: I make myself go out for a short run, then home to shower and have dinner. 9.30 pm: I make some oats for the morning, tidy up a bit and do a few quick tasks at home. I do some holiday planning for an upcoming trip, before going to bed at around 11pm. Today’s total: €3.00 7.00 am: I get up and get ready for work. 7.50 am: I did a wardrobe clearout over the weekend and sold something on Vinted so I pack that up to post while I’m out today. 12.30 pm: After a busy morning, I head to the canteen for lunch with some colleagues (€3). I also go out to the post office to send my packages. No cost for postage as the buyer pays on Vinted. 5.00 pm: The rest of the afternoon is spent between meetings and work, then I go to an evening gym class and head home. I stop in the pharmacy on the way home to pick up my prescription – no charge. 7.00 pm: I get home and have dinner. Fajitas tonight – I am not the chef in my house as you can tell, and I am very thankful for that as I really don’t like cooking. 8.00 pm: I shower, clean up and do a few tasks at home before relaxing in front of the TV for a while. While checking my bank balance, I see my monthly bank charge has come out (€8), as well as another bill for €8. While scrolling my phone I see a Go Fund Me page for an old work colleague, so I donate €25. I’m asleep by about 11pm. Today’s total: €44.00 6.45 am: Up a bit earlier today as I have a meeting in the office at 8.30am. I get ready and head off around 7.30am. On my way to work, I get a message that my phone balance is low so I top up by €20. 12.00 pm: I’m really feeling tired this week. I go for lunch with colleagues, again lucky to have subsidised lunches at €3. 5.00 pm: After another hectic day, I go to the gym and feel much better after. 6.00 pm: I have a nail appointment (€30) before walking home. Getting my nails done each month is something I could save on if I wanted, but I like feeling put together. 7.45 pm: I get home and ready to crash. I shower and have some dinner. I catch up on this week’s episode of Great British Bake Off! Today’s total: €53.00 7.00 am: Up and at it for the last day in the office this week. I’m very glad the weekend is almost here. It’s nice and bright on my walk to work this morning which is nice. 12.30 pm: I’m starving – I go have some lunch with colleagues (€3) and get back to work pretty quickly. It’s a pretty busy and chaotic day at the office so now I’m really wishing it to be the weekend. 5.30 pm: I pack up and head home. 6.30 pm: Home and have dinner with the family – it’s salmon tonight. I shower and have a chill evening watching some TV – an episode of the latest series of Dragons Den.

I have recently run out of a lot of my skincare products so I decide to bite the bullet and order a restock of all my products as there’s 20% off. Total comes to €238 – which I know is ridiculous money to be spending on cosmetics, but I do really value good skincare and the products last a long time so I only need to restock every three to four months or more. Today’s total: €241.00 7.30 am: Finally Friday! I am working from home today and wake up in a great mood. 12.30 pm: I make myself some lunch – soup that was in the fridge and bread. 2.30 pm: I have a dentist appointment so I make my way there. It’s a routine clean, which costs me €84. Unfortunately, I’m not entitled to the free PRSI check as I hadn’t been working in Ireland for the last few years. I might be able to claim part though my health insurance. I also sold a top on Vinted earlier so I go to the post office while I’m out (sold for €10). 4.00 pm: I come home and get back to work for another while. I still have so much to get though, it feels like the workload is never ending these days. 7.00 pm: I have some pasta for dinner, watch some tv and head to bed at around 11pm. Today’s total: €84.00 9.00 am: I get up.I’ve had a terrible sleep so feeling a bit like I’ve woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. The weather is horrible out and I really don’t want to go running, but I really should. 10.30 am: I was on the phone to a friend who lives abroad so only leave for my run at 10.30am. 12.30 pm: I get home, shower and have some late breakfast and get ready to go to town. I meet my partner and we do some shopping. We are both hungry so go get a light lunch which he pays for. 4.45 pm: We stay in town until around 4.30pm, didn’t end up buying anything. Got the bus home. (€2) 6.30 pm: We make some homemade pizzas and watch a movie for the evening. Today’s total: €2.00 10.00 am: Have a very lazy morning. I book tickets to a show over Christmas for my partner and I – €170 for two tickets. 12.00 pm: I make my way to the local community art studio and spend a few hours there, I take the bus (€2). While I’m there, I pop out to get a snack. (€1.50) 4.30 pm: I take the bus home. (€2) 5.30 pm: I have dinner and catch up with the family, then clean up and get things organised for the week. 7.00 pm: I take a shower and then get my laptop to look online for a dress for a friends wedding. I order one (€270), as well as shoes to match (€58). I did try to find something second hand or rent, but I really couldn’t find anything I liked. Today’s total: €502.00 Weekly subtotal: €929.00 What I learned – This was a pretty non-eventful week in my life. My weekdays are very repetitive and I would really like to try start doing more in the evenings I feel like my day to day spending is quite good in that I save on things like transport, impulse buys such as coffee etc. However, I do tend to often make some sizeable purchases without thinking about how I could try save more I would like to get into investing so open to any suggestions from readers of where to start!

The couple attended a Remembrance Sunday service at St Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. In one of his final acts as president, Higgins laid a wreath on behalf of the people of Ireland during the ceremony. His successor, Catherine Connolly, is due to be inaugurated on Tuesday.

Asked what they spoke about, McDonald told the PA news agency that she “thanked him for all of his work”, adding she told the President he was “a hero for all of us and I wished him well”. She added: “It’s an emotional moment, I think, because obviously his tenure is coming to an end, and he and Sabina have just been absolutely powerful and it’s an honour to be here with him on this Remembrance Sunday.” She said it was important that, as the president of Sinn Féin, she attended the event. “It’s very important that we remember, also that we respect each other,” she said. “And in my opinion, as we build towards Irish reunification now in these coming years, it is all the more important that we see each other, hear each other, respect each other and include each other”.

Their resignations follow the publication of details of a BBC internal memo in The Telegraph today that suggested the edits made to Trump’s speech – which was included in a BBC Panorama documentary – made it appear that Trump had encouraged the storming of Capitol Hill on 6 January 2021 after losing the US election to Joe Biden. It is claimed that the BBC had spliced together two parts of Trump’s speech in a misleading manner. The broadcaster is expected to apologise for the incident tomorrow. In a statement carried by the BBC, Davies said “overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as Director-General I have to take ultimate responsibility”. He said: “I wanted to let you know that I have decided to leave the BBC after 20 years. This is entirely my decision, and I remain very thankful to the Chair and Board for their unswerving and unanimous support throughout my entire tenure, including during recent days. Advertisement “I am working through exact timings with the Board to allow for an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months.” Turness said she had offered her resignation to Davie yesterday. She said “the ongoing controversy around the Panorama on President Trump has reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC – an institution that I love”, and added that “the buck stops with me”. “While mistakes have been made, I want to be absolutely clear recent allegations that BBC News is institutionally biased are wrong.” Shot: Chaser: pic.twitter.com/n0U08PnUJb— Karoline Leavitt (@PressSec) November 9, 2025 While Trump has yet to respond personally to the news, his 28-year-old press secretary Karoline Leavitt posted a screenshot of two news headlines: one proclaiming Trump was going “to war” with the BBC over the issue, and the second announcing today’s resignations. “Shot”, Leavitt labelled the first headline, and “Chaser” the second.

Typically Erling Haaland was on the scoresheet, opening the scoring for a dominant City side at the Etihad Stadium with his 99th Premier League goal after missing an earlier penalty. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk had an equaliser controversially disallowed, but the champions were second best for much of a sodden afternoon and fell further behind to a deflected Nico Gonzalez strike before the break. The outstanding Jeremy Doku, who tormented Liverpool right-back Conor Bradley, added a sublime third on his 100th appearance for the club. Victory lifted City back up to second in the table and within four points of leaders Arsenal, and condemned Liverpool to yet more soul-searching. Arne Slot’s side had emerged from a recent slump with impressive back-to-back wins over Aston Villa and Real Madrid, but the defeat was their fifth in six league games and left them eight points adrift of the Gunners. Arsenal dropped points on Saturday and City seemed hungry to take advantage while Liverpool, who could also have gone second with a win, failed to get out of the blocks. Bradley may have dealt well with Vinicius Junior in midweek but he was given a torrid time on this occasion by Doku. The Belgian winger was electric and almost slid Phil Foden in on goal early on. Advertisement Doku was the main player in the game’s major talking point after nine minutes when he burst past two defenders and went down following a challenge by Giorgi Mamardashvili. No penalty was given initially and replays suggested contact was minimal, but referee Chris Kavanagh reversed his decision after being summoned to the VAR screen. Liverpool may have felt justice was served as Mamardashvili pushed away Haaland’s spot-kick, but the reprieve did not last long. After Doku had created further chances for Rayan Cherki and himself, Matheus Nunes whipped in a cross from the right in the 29th minute. Haaland leapt above a static Ibrahima Konate and headed firmly past Mamardashvili who, unlike for the spot-kick, was rooted to the spot. Liverpool thought they had levelled when Van Dijk planted a header inside the post from a corner, but his effort was ruled out for an offside against Andrew Robertson on the line. The Reds’ frustrations were compounded in first-half stoppage time as Gonzalez’s long-range strike took a deflection off Van Dijk and wrong-footed Mamardashvili. Liverpool produced some of their best football after the break and Gonzalez almost sliced into his own net from a Bradley cross. Cody Gakpo then missed the target from close range after another Bradley delivery. Doku put the game beyond doubt just after the hour when he took a pass from Nico O’Reilly and curled in a stunning first league goal since January. Liverpool could not even manage a consolation with a Dominic Szoboszlai shot saved by Gianluigi Donnarumma and Mohamed Salah poking wide.

What's in a name? Shakespeare's Juliet didn't think they were important - I beg to differ

Shakespeare's Juliet didn't think they were important - I beg to differ Gwen Loughman writes about our names being the basis of our identities and how it’s important for others to get them right (and pronounce them correctly). 7.01pm, 9 Nov 2025 Share options STUDYING THE SHAKESPEAREAN play Romeo and Juliet all those years ago, I may have wondered, will there ever be practical working grounds to use any of William’s quotes in the future? That occasion has still to present itself to me. However, there is one little stanza forever imprinted on my brain: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet.” Children of sworn enemies the Montagues and Capulets, Romeo and Juliet met their tragic end as a result of their families’ feud. Juliet was emphasising a rose would still smell like a rose even if it was called something else. According to our heroine, names aren’t of importance. Juliet, allow me to make a riposte. “Lord, what fools these mortals be.” I get your beautifully-made point, but I beg to differ. Our name holds personal meaning. It is the cornerstone of our identity, a source of pride. It can be cultural providing a strong connection to our family lineage. It’s our legal identity. It gives us a sense of self and if we’re lucky (or, in other words, famous) enough, we can go by our first name only. Isn’t that right, Madonna, Cher, Beyonce and Bono? Proof of identity I kept my own name when I got married. As did most of my childhood friends. The patriarchy had begun its slow torturous change. However, in recent months my husband and I found ourselves needing to arrange some sort of financial security for our later years. The paperwork identified me as Mrs Husband’s Surname. When I addressed this, I was asked, for the sake of convenience, to just sign using his name. It felt really alien and that stubborn part of me resisted because it’s my name, my identity – and also, a little bit, because of the principle of it. Yet I found myself acquiescing to the request and signing on the dotted line. But then, it came to proof of identity. I produced my driver’s licence, proof of address and social services card. All three with my own OG name printed on them. Suddenly things were a bit different and fresh forms were printed out, putting my inherent right back where it belonged. I was asked, for the sake of convenience, to just sign using my husband's name.Shutterstock Shutterstock I think my driver’s licence might have winked in devilment. The little rebel. So yes, it would seem, Juliet, our names matter very much indeed. Earlier this year, Meghan Markle, via her podcast, advised prospective parents pondering baby names to keep their choice to themselves only. “Keep it so close to your heart until that baby is born and it’s named. Don’t ask anyone’s opinion,” she said. Advertisement Celebrity baby names Her counsel didn’t reach everyone. Currently, there is a plethora of celebrities bestowing highly unusual names on their new babies. As is their absolute right. Pop star Anne-Marie called her baby daughter and infant son Seven and Forever Sugar, respectively. Not to be outdone, Rihanna named her three RZA, Riot Rose and Rocki Irish. One has to wonder though, does giving your child an unusual name condemn them to a life of dreading a teacher mispronouncing it in school and possibly having to give an alias in a coffee shop? It must also surely, eventually, become a chore having to explain the provenance of your name to people in the presence of others. This scenario already has form with regular skits on Saturday Night Live using Saoirse Ronan (how appropriate) as the conduit on how to correctly phonate beautiful traditional Irish names, such as Niamh, Siobhan, Caoimhe, Odhran and Tadhg. An interesting survey has discovered the most difficult name to pronounce is not actually any of the above – those selfish we’ve-used-up-all-the-vowels-in-our-name names – but Seán, with its many variations. This is the perfect time to introduce the fada, the only diacritic mark used in the Irish language, and how utterly important it is to those who have come up against the passport office. Who knew a word with four letters could be so flummoxing? Getting it wrong Well, me for one. My first name comes with its own difficulties and gave me no end of grief when I was in primary school. I had a copy book returned to me once with my proper name crossed out and Glen boldly printed instead. That was a recurring theme. Teachers just couldn’t get their heads around a little four-letter word and it made me very reluctant to say my name out loud in the class. Don’t get me started about being called Gwynne. What we are called, and more importantly, having our names pronounced correctly, has given me plenty of food for thought over the years. Names are personal things - some people don't want strangers to know theirs.Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo However, a perspective I didn’t consider was put to me by a barista I have the daily chats with when I am buying my coffee. It is general practice for the servers to wear a name tag but she told me she hates wearing hers, so she took it off. Her reason? She dislikes strangers knowing her name. That pulled me up short. When I gave it further thought, it made perfect sense because by wearing a badge with your name on it, you are sharing a very personal piece of information with a complete unknown. Several of them if you work in retail. And happen to be female. When we are born and right up until we die, the name our parents chose to give us is recorded and filed as our legal identity. What we are called, whether we like it or not, makes us part of a society with rules and regulations. Our registered profile provides us with our right to vote, get married and contribute to the conventions of daily life in general. At least until our darling friends christen us with a nickname when we start school – particularly the lads – and before you know it, no-one remembers our birth name at all!

Israel confirms it has received the remains of soldier killed in Gaza in 2014

The 23-year-old was killed two hours after a ceasefire took effect in that year’s war between Israel and Hamas. Mr Goldin’s family have waged a public campaign for 11 years to bring his remains home. Earlier this year, they marked 4,000 days since his body was taken. Israel’s military had long determined that he had been killed, based on evidence found in the tunnel where his body was taken, including a blood-soaked shirt and prayer fringes. His remains had been the only ones left in Gaza predating the current war between Israel and Hamas. The remains of four hostages taken in the October 7 2023 attack are still in Gaza. The return of the remains of Mr Goldin, who has become a national symbol, were a significant development in the US-brokered truce, which has faltered during the slow return of bodies of hostages and skirmishes between Israeli troops and militants in Gaza. The Red Cross had transferred the body to the Israeli military within Gaza. It was taken to the national forensic institute in Tel Aviv. Dozens of people gathered along junctions where the police convoy carried the remains, holding Israeli flags and paying their last respects. “We’re really excited. We’ve got conflicting feelings,” Hanini Cormey, who had served alongside Mr Goldin, said. Advertisement Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the weekly Cabinet meeting that holding the body for so long had caused “great agony of his family, which will now be able to give him a Jewish burial”. Israel recovered the remains of the other soldier, Oron Shaul, earlier this year. Netanyahu said that the country would continue trying to bring home the bodies of Israelis still held across enemy lines, such as Eli Cohen, an Israeli spy hanged in Damascus in 1965. Israeli media, citing anonymous officials, previously reported that Hamas was delaying the release of Mr Goldin’s body in hopes of negotiating safe passage for more than 100 militants surrounded by Israeli forces and trapped in Rafah. Gila Gamliel, the minister of innovation, science and technology and a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party, told Army Radio that Israel was not negotiating for a deal within a deal. “There are agreements whose implementation is guaranteed by the mediators, and we shouldn’t allow anyone to come now and play (games) and to reopen the agreement,” she said. Hamas made no comment on a possible exchange for its fighters stuck in the so-called yellow zone, which is controlled by Israeli forces, although they acknowledged that clashes were taking place there. Since the ceasefire began on 10 October, militants have released the remains of 23 hostages. As part of the truce deal, the militants are expected to return the remains of all hostages. For each Israeli hostage returned, Israel has been releasing the remains of 15 Palestinians. Ahmed Dheir, director of forensic medicine at Nasser Hospital in the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, said that the remains of 300 had now been returned, with 89 identified. Today, Gaza’s health ministry said that the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza had risen to 69,176.

Davie and Turness resignation statements in full

I wanted to let you know that I have decided to leave the BBC after 20 years. This is entirely my decision, and I remain very thankful to the chair and board for their unswerving and unanimous support throughout my entire tenure including during recent days. I am working through exact timings with the Board to allow for an orderly transition to a successor over the coming months. I have been reflecting on the very intense personal and professional demands of managing this role over many years in these febrile times, combined with the fact that I want to give a successor time to help shape the Charter plans they will be delivering. In these increasingly polarised times, the BBC is of unique value and speaks to the very best of us. It helps make the UK a special place; overwhelmingly kind, tolerant and curious. Like all public organisations, the BBC is not perfect, and we must always be open, transparent and accountable. While not being the only reason, the current debate around BBC News has understandably contributed to my decision. Overall the BBC is delivering well, but there have been some mistakes made and as director general I have to take ultimate responsibility. Our organisation is a critical ingredient of a healthy society, as well as a thriving creative sector. We should champion it, not weaponise it. Despite a hugely competitive market, I am proud that the BBC remains the most trusted news brand globally. We have continued to ensure that it is used by almost everyone in the UK as well as hundreds of millions of people globally. Despite the inevitable issues and challenges, our journalism and quality content continues to be admired as a gold standard. Our transition to a digital organisation has been deeply impressive, and our thriving commercial businesses are admired globally. Also, our work together on ensuring that we have the right culture has been important and motivating. I could not be more impressed by what you are achieving. You will ask why now, why this moment? I am BBC through and through, having spent the last 20 years of my life working for this organisation as director of marketing, communications and audiences, director of audio and music, acting director general and chief executive of BBC Studios. I care deeply about it and want it to succeed. That is why I want to create the best conditions and space for a new DG to come in and positively shape the next Royal Charter. I hope that as we move forward, a sensible, calm and rational public conversation can take place about the next chapter of the BBC. This timing allows a new DG to help shape the next charter. I believe we are in a strong position to deliver growth. Thank you again, it has been a wonderful ride, which I have loved. I count myself very lucky to have served as DG no.17. I will have a proper chance to see many of you before I go but I have been incredibly proud to lead the BBC as DG for over five years. It is a precious UK institution and you are a world-class team. Thank you all for the tireless support and friendship. I will always be a passionate cheerleader for civilised society, a strong BBC and a thriving UK. Best wishes

Unleash the rockhounds. It’s the season to hunt the Lake Superior shore for colorful agates

With the gales of November rolling in, anyone ready to bundle up in raincoats and waterproof boots may have luck spotting Lake Superior agates and other cool rocks. Late-fall weather already whipped waves up to 14 feet high logged near Grand Marais this month. Storms and churning water can tumble new specimens of Minnesota’s state gemstone onto lakeshores and riverbanks. Lake Superior agates often feature a brownish-red exterior that may be pitted and slightly translucent. They’re easiest to spot when they’re wet and the sun has come out, illuminating their distinctive interior bands that can be clear, white, slate-grey, orange or red. Agates formed in the vesicles (gas bubbles) of lava that spewed along the North Shore more than a billion years ago during the Midcontinent Rift. While the volcanic forces didn’t manage to split what’s now North America, it left behind dramatic ledges and cliffs of basalt and rhyolite along what’s now Lake Superior. As water with trace minerals seeped into the gas bubbles, they crystallized into agates. Differing levels of iron gives the agates their warm colors while trace amounts of copper can add bluish tones. Ice age glaciers ground across Minnesota about 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, breaking apart the volcanic rock and scattering the more durable agates. The highest concentration of them can be found in northeastern Minnesota and into central Minnesota. They are also present in southern Minnesota, and parts of Iowa. The largest specimens can weigh more than 20 pounds. Places to look for agates include public beaches along Lake Superior (but not those on state park land or within scientific and natural areas); public parks along rivers and streams; and former gravel pits, such as the Soo Line Pit in Moose Lake. A permit is required for the latter through the Moose Lake Area Chamber of Commerce. Permission is also required for searching any private property. You can also admire Minnesota’s agates at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul and Beaver Bay Agate Shop & Museum on the North Shore, which is the nation’s oldest rock shop with more than 75 years in business. Rock shops around the state and rock and mineral clubs can also answer questions and share rockhounding tips.
