Published on 6 November 2026 – 8:01 GMT+1 Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell about 7% at one point on Friday, as a sell-off in AI and chip stocks spread from Wall Street to Asia. The index pared some of its losses and was down 5.7% by midday in Tokyo. Investors are weighing whether Democrats’ sweeping wins in this week’s US midterm elections could lead to tougher rules on new data centres. The projects have drawn opposition from voters across the political spectrum, and many candidates who won pledged to slow or halt construction. US Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez…

EU countries lose an estimated €59.3bn a year in tax revenue as multinational companies shift profits across borders, according to the Tax Justice Network. The organisation links about €8bn of these losses to the UK and its Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies, equivalent to 13.6% of the EU total. The UK and these jurisdictions also account for more than 30% of the global corporate tax abuse risk measured by the organisation’s Corporate Tax Haven Index. Profit shifting can happen when companies record profits in lower-tax jurisdictions rather than where the underlying business activity takes place. This can involve payments between…

1) Don’t be late to the party “If you’re doing it now, you’re kind of too late,” Roman says of efforts to schmooze key Democrats who have made it into both the Senate and House this week. The British Embassy has, he says, already been doing its homework, tracking potential Democratic Party contenders throughout the year in anticipation of a wave. But there’s stiff global competition to build those links first. “The French competitors, the German competitors, the Korean competitors — each embassy is trying to build a network that allows them a level of access,” he says. In addition…

Above the tents of a displacement camp in al-Mawasi, near Khan Yunis, homemade wind turbines spin in the sea breeze, providing a lifeline to families left without electricity. The devices were built by 60-year-old Kamal Al-Dabary, a former engineering student, using scooter motors, discarded water tanks and electrical components salvaged from destroyed homes. The energy generated is stored in batteries. With solar panels now costing nearly $5,000 and much of Gaza’s electricity infrastructure destroyed, his invention offers an affordable alternative. The turbines produce just enough power to charge phones and run lights, fans and electric razors. But for displaced residents,…

Ein unruhiges Wochenende für Friedrich Merz: Der CDU-Chef muss gleich drei drängende Probleme abräumen. Neben dem Streit um die Zuckersteuer und der Nachfolge von EZB-Chefin Christine Lagarde geht es vor allem um die Kandidatur für das Bundespräsidialamt. Rasmus Buchsteiner ordnet ein, warum Merz bei der Personalie Ilse Aigner unter Zugzwang gerät und welche Deals nun hinter den Kulissen geschmiedet werden.
