(Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May has struck a tentative deal with the European Union that would give UK financial services companies continued access to European markets after Brexit, the Times reported on Thursday.
British and European negotiators have reached tentative agreement on all aspects of a future partnership on services, as well as the exchange of data, the British newspaper reported, citing government sources.
The services deal would give UK companies access to European markets as long as British financial regulation remained broadly aligned with the EU’s, the Times reported.

UK and Canada MPs unite to demand Mark Zuckerberg answers questions
Joint hearing will try to force Facebook chief to appear over Cambridge Analytica scandal
The UK and Canadian parliaments are joining forces in an attempt to force Mark Zuckerberg to answer their questions over Facebook’s role in the Cambridge Analytica scandal.

The hearing, which the organisers have dubbed the “international grand committee on disinformation and fake news”, will be held in Westminster at the end of this month. Parliamentary select committees from around the world who have also failed to gain access to Zuckerberg are also invited to send representatives.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Supreme Court justices, in an internet privacy case involving Google (GOOGL.O), disagreed on Wednesday over whether to rein in a form of settlement in class action lawsuits that awards money to charities and other third parties instead of to people affected by the alleged wrongdoing.

The Tesla Settlement – What It Means for Other Companies
There have been plenty of press reports about the SEC’s settlement with Elon Musk arising from his tweeting about taking Tesla private. But the concurrent settlement with Tesla itself provides interesting lessons for disclosure and governance at public companies.
Tesla agreed to pay a $20 million penalty and agreed to several “undertakings” to strengthen its governance and controls including a requirement that it add two independent directors to its Board. And, under his own settlement, Musk agreed to step down for three years as chairman of the Board of Directors, although he is allowed to continue as CEO.

Trump targets U.S. birthright citizenship as elections loom
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - With congressional elections a week away, President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he will seek to scrap the right of citizenship for U.S.-born children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants as he tries again to dramatically reshape immigration policies.
Reviving his support for a legally questionable theory, Trump told the Axios news website he would issue an executive order on so-called birthright citizenship, an issue that has long rankled some conservative Republicans.
Trump’s previous calls to end the practice have resonated with his political base, but moderate Republicans and some legal experts say Trump is running afoul of the U.S. Constitution.

Poland and Greece still eye WWII billions from Germany
Poland and Germany have renewed calls for WWII reparations from Germany, testing European unity.
"Reparations are not a closed subject," Polish president Andrzej Duda said in an interview with Germany's Bild am Sonntag, out on Sunday (28 October).
Potential or lost souls?
At least 2.5 million Ukrainians live in the EU. A recent study looks at the motivations and expectations of the latest wave of Ukrainian emigration to France
“I have an impression that half of Prykarpattia’s working-age population is in France,” a friend says while browsing through the contacts on her smartphone. “Tania from Sniatyn picks up my kids from school, Liuda from Kolomyia cleans my windows, Khrystyna from Kalush does hair for my entire family, Oksana from Ivano-Frankivsk makes our birthday cakes…”
Wealthier or poorer, Ukrainians abroad tend to go to other Ukrainians for services. Shared language, habits and unspoken rules make it easier for them to settle down in a foreign country. While some hardly ever go beyond the Ukrainian community, others try to get rooted abroad. Most Ukrainians of the latest wave of emigrants, the fifth one, never integrated into the French community. Fewer of them have become an equal part of it.

Currently, both countries are proactively engaged in the reform of wholesale electricity markets, working towards the establishment of Energy Community acquis rules, which will apply to cross-border electricity transactions in Moldova and Ukraine. The Energy Community, an international organisation aiming to unify EU member states and their neighbours in a single pan-European energy market, provides regular technical assistance to both countries, within the framework of the EU4Energy programme.
Fitch affirms Ukraine at "B-", outlook stable
Fitch Ratings has affirmed Ukraine's Long-Term Foreign-Currency Issuer Default Rating (IDR) at "B-" with a Stable Outlook.

Stepan Kubiv added that American companies are already undertaking high business activities in Ukraine and are reliable partners for Ukrainian business.
Russian disinformation on Facebook targeted Ukraine well before the 2016 U.S. election

Anya Bourg
KIEV, Ukraine — In the spring of 2015, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was desperate for Mark Zuckerberg’s help. His government had been urging Facebook to stop the Kremlin’s spreading of misinformation on the social network to foment distrust in his new administration and to promote support of Russia’s invasion and occupation of parts of Ukraine.
To get Zuckerberg’s attention, the president posted a question for a town hall meeting at Facebook’s Silicon Valley headquarters. There, a moderator read it aloud.

BERLIN (Reuters) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Monday she would not seek re-election as party chairwoman and that her fourth term as chancellor would be her last, heralding the end of a 13-year era in which she has dominated European politics.

Jair Bolsonaro: Brazil's far-right president in his own words
Brazil’s new president is a far-right figurehead and ex-paratrooper known for lashing out at women, minorities, and indigenous groups
air Bolsonaro is a deeply polarising figure who rose from political irrelevance – and survived a near-fatal eve-of-election assassination attempt – to become the leader of Latin America’s biggest economy in little more than two years.
He has praised Pinochet, expressed support for torturers and called for political opponents to be shot, earning him the label of “the most misogynistic, hateful elected official in the democratic world”.
But he built a successful campaign on fear over rising violent crime, anger over repeated corruption scandals and an efficient social media operation.

Liberation Day (Ukraine)
The Liberation Day of Ukraine is a holiday celebrated annually on October 28 in Ukraine. It commemorates the Liberation of Ukraine from Nazi Germany on October 28 1944.
The idea of making the national holiday was expressed by the then Minister of Economy of Ukraine Sergey Tigipko on October 15, 2009. Five days later, President Viktor Yushchenko signed a decree establishing the holiday. The first settlements in Eastern Ukraine were liberated by soviet troops in December 1942.

Trump's America: The Truth about Our Nation's Great Comeback
No one understands the "Make America Great Again" effort with more insight and more experience than former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich.
Gingrich helped President Ronald Reagan "Make America Great Again" in 1980. He authored the Contract with America and spearheaded the 1994 Republican Revolution that brought the House of Representatives under Republican control after 40 years. He knows what it is like to fight the Washington swamp and challenge the establishment - he has done it his entire career.
Now, the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Understanding Trump is back to illustrate how our nation's 45th President is leading our country's great comeback.
Ambidextrous
Anthropologists have found that we’re very motivated to divide into teams, and once on a team, we’ll work hard to degrade the other team. Over the smallest differences. For the smallest possible stakes. Even when we get no other benefit than thinking that we won something.
We spend a lot of time sorting people into buckets. We label them in order to treat them differently and establish expectations for how they’ll respond. Mostly to figure out which team they’re on. An email from a stranger causes us to spend some time guessing their status, gender and connection to us.
Which team?

OSCE reports 38 Russian trucks in Russian-occupied area of Ukraine
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe’s Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine observed a convoy of trucks marked “Humanitarian Aid from the Russian Federation” heading west near Makiivka, a Russian-controlled area of Donetsk Oblast on the morning of Oct. 25.

Week's balance: Heating season start, Putin's sanctions, and eurobonds worth $2 bln
Ukraine has attracted $2 billion, placing eurobonds with a 5- and 10-years' maturity period and a yield of 9% and 9.75%. The Russian leadership, besides shelling and shooting in Donbas, is now rattling other types of sabers – personal sanctions against Ukrainian politicians.

Кадровая деградация: Противоестественная политическая система в России породила отрицательный отбор и постепенно становится её жертвой
Лев ШЛОСБЕРГ
«Это — не народ? Это хуже народа! Это лучшие люди города!»Исаак Шварц, «Дракон»
В России продолжается год национального позора. Каждый раз кажется, что дно достигнуто, и в этот момент нам нагло стучат снизу. Система государственной власти, основанная на лжи и насилии, возносит на свой верх, делает своим лицом людей, более похожих на чудовищ, чем на человеческие образы. Пародия стремительно движется к фейкам и вызывает смешанные чувства изумления, страха и брезгливости.
Начальник Росгвардии Золотов в отместку за публичное разоблачение госзакупок записывает анекдотическое по содержанию и стилю видеообращение, где обещает сделать из оппозиционного политика Алексея Навального «сочную отбивную» на некой «дуэли». Навальный в это время находится под арестом, ни услышать «золотые слова Золотова», ни ответить ему не может. Потом Навальный выходит, предлагает Золотову публичную дуэль в любом теле- или видеоформате, Золотов предсказуемо отказывается и говорит, что готов только к физическим упражнениям.

Financial Implications of Winning the Lottery
By Emily Friedman on
On Tuesday, a lucky South Carolinian bought the winning ticket for the $1.5 billion Mega Millions jackpot. The winner might be dreaming about a private island and mega-yacht to rival Richard Branson’s, but they must also make some big financial decisions and understand certain tax implications of the win. Let’s look at what happens after a lottery win.
Lump Sum or Installment Payments?
The winner first needs to decide whether to take his or her winnings as a one-time lump sum or in installment payments paid out over three decades. Each choice has pros and cons. The lump sum would be a smaller total payout—in this case $878 million. It would incur the top federal tax rate of 37%, and the 7% state income tax that South Carolina imposes on its highest earners. These taxes would bring the lump sum to $492 million. On the other hand, after taxes, the installment payments—about $29 million annually made over 29 years—would total roughly $841 million.
Meeting between the Presidents of Ukraine and Belarus was held in Gomel
In Gomel, the meeting between President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko took place in vis-a-vis format.

In particular, according to the President, a number of agreements were already signed between the regions and several more documents are planned to be adopted.
What’s Artificial About Ethical AI In The Legal Industry? Everything.
By ANDY NEILL
With many companies and people around the world relying on artificial intelligence, considering the implications of how AI programs can act and affect outcomes (positively and negatively) is too important to avoid. And people, not technology, have the answers.
Discussions will continue what role ethics has in the deployment of AI, but some guidance already exists.
In 2017, the House of Lords in the United Kingdom appointed the Select Committee on Artificial Intelligence. The role of members is to consider the economic, ethical and social implications of advances in artificial intelligence.
