(2) The debate over the magnitude of the Federal Reserve’s expected interest-rate cut in November is intensifying, with traders ramping up wagers in futures keyed to the central bank’s path as officials start to weigh in on their next move.

(3) The man who was found hiding in the bushes with a loaded rifle at Donald Trump’s golf course has been indicted for attempting to assassinate the former president.

(4) Keir Starmer warned Britons he will take “tough, long-term decisions” that will make him unpopular and said Labour’s program of “national renewal” is unchanged despite a slew of setbacks early in his premiership.

(5)Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds dismissed warnings of a wealth exodus to escape potential Labour tax hikes, hitting back at criticisms that have been levied at Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government.
