(SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: 8. WHITE FLASH 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, SAYING: STORY: Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim welcomed the backing of co-owner Jim Ratcliffe on Friday (October 17( but said it did not ease the pressure of needing to turn around his side's fortunes quickly. Ratcliffe said during the international break that Amorim should be allowed the full three years of his contract to prove himself at Old Trafford despite a tough first year in charge. Amorim has never won back-to-back Premier League games and has only 10 wins from his first 34 in charge ahead of Sunday's clash against champions Liverpool at Anfield. That record has left him under pressure but Ratcliffe, who appointed him last year, offered some reassurance in an interview with The Times last week. "He tells me all the time, sometimes with a message after games — but you know, I know and Jim knows, that football is not like that," Amorim said in his news conference on Friday. "It is really good to hear that, I think it helps our fans understand that the leadership knows it will take a while. "But, at the same moment, I don't like that because it will give a feeling like we have time to work things out so I don't want that feeling in our club. It's good to feel the support but we need to show people we are ready to win games. I know it is going to take a while but I don't want to think like that." United are in 10th place in the table, five points behind Liverpool who have slipped to second after back-to-back Premier League defeats away to Crystal Palace and Chelsea. A 2-2 draw at Liverpool last season was arguably Amorim's most impressive result since taking charge and there have been other creditable performances against top clubs but the former Sporting coach says that exposes a mentality issue. "Maybe the expectations, when you have to win and the responsibility of winning it is so much harder," he said. "When you play in big clubs, you need to win every game. We have difficulties sometimes to play with that responsibility. Maybe when Manchester United are not expected to win, it is easier for the players to perform but we need to change that." Few will expect them to win at Anfield on Sunday for the first time since 2016 in what is the 100th clash between the old rivals at Liverpool's ground, even if Liverpool are on a run of three defeats in all competitions. Lisandro Martinez is not yet ready to return as he recovers from a knee injury while Noussair Mazraoui is doubtful. (Production: Conal Quinn)

Wall Street banks regain ground after global rout on credit worries

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Alun John, Ankur Banerjee, Manya Saini and Nupur Anand NEW YORK/LONDON/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -U.S. bank stocks rebounded on Friday, clawing back some losses after fears over bad loans triggered a global selloff that swept through European and Asian markets earlier in the day. The weakness hit Wall Street, with main equities indexes seeing a mixed open before inching higher in choppy trading, as investors stayed on edge about banks. The concerns added to anxiety about escalating U.S.-China trade tensions and the global economic outlook. The U.S. KBW Regional Banking Index closed down 6.3% on Thursday. It was last up 1%, while an index tracking large-cap rivals was up marginally. Investors in bank stocks have grown jittery. After a string of credit scares and surprise writedowns since 2023, confidence has gotten another knock in recent weeks from auto bankruptcies and alleged fraud that triggered losses at some banks. "Markets have been gripped by a sense of fear and panic in the last couple of days," said Timothy Coffey, associate director of depository research at Janney Montgomery Scott. "There are different issues that are being conflated into one big issue about credit concerns." Pressure on bank stocks "is likely to continue, this panic is like a fever. Once it enters the system, it takes a while to leave." The credit issues have fanned investor unease over stretched valuations in global markets, leaving them alert to any signs of stress. Stocks have held up well, and the economy has remained resilient despite uncertainty surrounding some of President Donald Trump's policies, including tariffs. IDIOSYNCRATIC RISKS? Investors are assessing whether recent strains in U.S. credit markets could affect valuations across markets, after an overnight Wall Street selloff rippled through Asia and Europe and cast a spotlight on the AI-fueled stock rally that some fear may have inflated a bubble. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said earlier this week about credit markets, "When you see one cockroach, there are probably more, and so everyone should be forewarned." Market participants have taken note of Dimon's comment, pausing to wonder if sees signs of broader trouble that are not visible to others, one industry executive said. "There is a nervousness now after the First Brands and Tricolor bankruptcies, then a third issue seems to confirm fears that there are a lot of subprime assets," said Brian Mulberry, senior client portfolio manager at Zacks Investment Management. "It appears that these are isolated cases of fraud where assets were being double booked as collateral for multiple debt structures." White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett said on Friday that banks have ample reserves and that he was optimistic that credit markets could stay ahead of the curve. He added in an interview with Fox Business Network that Trump administration officials led by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Federal Reserve's Michelle Bowman are "cleaning things up right now," without providing further details. Meanwhile, another senior industry executive said that credit problems do not appear to be widespread, and recent concerns stem from a series of fraud cases. The banking sector's exposure to two recent U.S. auto bankruptcies has rekindled concerns about lending standards more than two years after Silicon Valley Bank's failure triggered broader turmoil. "In the post SVB world, regulators have been asking banks about their commercial real estate exposure, the percentage of their uninsured deposits, deposit strategy, how they are set up at the discount window and those conversations have not changed," said Dan Hartman, a lawyer at Nutter. REGIONAL U.S. BANKS REBOUND Strong earnings from Truist Financial, Regions Financial, and Fifth Third bolstered investor sentiment, sending most U.S. regional banks higher. "The few recent corporate bankruptcies appear to be isolated cases, with the raft of bank earnings reports this week actually noting overall improving credit quality in the third quarter," said Stephen Biggar, director of financial research at Argus Research. Zions Bancorp, at the heart of the investor scrutiny, recovered 4%, after closing down 13%. Western Alliance was up 1.5% after losing roughly 11% on Thursday. Jefferies shares jumped 5% following a steep drop in the previous session. The latest selloff came after Zions said it would take a $50 million loss on two commercial and industrial loans, while Western Alliance disclosed it had initiated a lawsuit alleging a borrower. BROADER MARKET IMPACT European banks fell almost 3%, with Deutsche Bank and Barclays sliding around 6%, and Societe Generale down 4.6%, after financial firms in Asia, especially Japanese banks and insurers sank. "What we see in the banks selling off overnight in the U.S., Asia wakes up to it, Europe wakes up to it, and so it spreads," said TD Securities head of global macro strategy James Rossiter. U.S. banks borrowed nearly $15 billion from the Federal Reserve's Standing Repo Facility (SRF) on Wednesday and Thursday, the largest borrowing over a two-day period since the Covid-19 pandemic. On Friday morning, however, banks did not tap the repo facility, although they get another chance to do so in the afternoon. The SRF acts as a liquidity backstop for potential funding shortfalls. Introduced in July 2021 in response to the pandemic, the Fed's facility provides twice-daily overnight cash loans in exchange for eligible collateral such as U.S. Treasuries. "The market is clearly priced for perfection," said Bo Pei, analyst at US Tiger Securities. "This leaves sentiment vulnerable, so even isolated negative headlines can trigger outsized reactions."

Stradivarius violin takes spotlight at Brussels concert

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

(Corrects name of group in first paragraph to Belgian National Orchestra from Belgian National Opera) By Milan Berckmans BRUSSELS (Reuters) -A 300-year-old Stradivari violin valued at around $16 million will take centre stage on Friday at a concert in Brussels performed by Armenian Sergey Khachatryan with the Belgian National Orchestra. The violin, renowned for its extraordinary tonal range and historical importance, was made around 1724 by Italian craftsman Antonio Stradivari in his hometown Cremona, and was recently bought by a benefactor of the philanthropic Stretton Society, which loans out exceptional instruments. "It is a huge joy to be able to create that relationship between me as an artist and the instrument … such an incredible instrument with such a beautiful sound and complexity," said Khachatryan, who is entrusted with the Stradivarius for the next 10 years. At the Brussels Palais des Beaux-Arts on Friday, he will interpret the technically demanding Brahms Violin Concerto. "Brahms' music is such a reflection of beauty, in nature and also in human feelings," Khachatryan told Reuters. "If you have such an incredible violin, you can show that." The instrument is among the highest valued of several hundred remaining Stradivari violins, which can sell for millions of dollars, with the most sought-after coming from Stradivari's 1700-1720 "Golden Period". Known as the "Kiesewetter" – after 19th-century German violinist Christoph Gottfried Kiesewetter – it has been played by leading violinists, including Augustin Hadelich and Maxim Vengerov, who used it at the Grammy Awards ceremony in 1996. "There's actually a very beautiful photo with Maxim Vengerov, Sting and Elton John next to the instrument," said Stephan Jansen, co-founder of the Stretton Society.

Swiss minister speaks to Bessent in U.S., gives no sign of progress on tariffs

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

ZURICH (Reuters) -Swiss Economy Minister Guy Parmelin said on Friday he had spoken briefly to U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about the United States' 39% tariffs on Switzerland, but he gave no indication of progress on reducing the levies. Speaking to Swiss television, Parmelin said that contact between the Swiss and U.S. governments was ongoing on various levels and that he had spoken to Bessent for "a few minutes". "But that was very brief," Parmelin told Swiss national broadcaster SRF during a visit to Washington. "We're staying in contact, including at a technical level. The federal cabinet will communicate as soon as we have progress to report." Parmelin was also asked whether he believed that a deal could be reached with Switzerland by the end of this month. He responded by reiterating that contact was ongoing. "Again, it's not possible to say more today," he said. Trump's decision in August to impose the tariffs on Switzerland stunned the country. He argued the tariffs were justified by the U.S. trade deficit with Switzerland. Since then, the Swiss government has been working to cut the tariffs, but has yet to strike a deal with Trump.

Porsche tasks former McLaren boss Leiters with leading revival

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Rachel More BERLIN (Reuters) -Porsche lined up ex-McLaren boss Michael Leiters as its new CEO on Friday, in a bid to revive the German luxury sports car maker's fortunes and end a dual role for Oliver Blume that had rankled with some investors. Blume, who took the wheel at Porsche a decade ago, has for the past three years also run its parent Volkswagen, during which time both companies have struggled. "I am delighted that Michael Leiters, an experienced professional in the sports car business, is taking on this role," Blume said in a statement. Volkswagen gave Blume a vote of confidence, saying it would extend his contract as CEO of that company by five years until the end of 2030. INVESTOR SAYS COMPANY LISTENING The Porsche supervisory board has approved a January 1 start date for Leiters. Hiring a new CEO is a bid by Porsche to improve its performance as it faces global tariffs, falling Chinese demand and a costly reversal back to combustion engines from electric. Only three years ago, Porsche's market value was the second highest in German history and the carmaker was Europe's most valuable, worth 83 billion euros ($97 billion). Once a cash-cow for Volkswagen, Porsche's profit margin has shrivelled, its share price has fallen by more than half and it tumbled out of the blue-chip DAX index last month. Meanwhile, Volkswagen's share price is down more than a third. Porsche shareholder DWS welcomed the apparent early end of Blume's dual role as an important signal to the markets. "It shows that repeated criticism has finally been heard," said Hendrik Schmidt, Head of Stewardship and Governance at DWS, which holds about $34 million in Porsche stock. "However, it is clear that even with new leadership, the old challenges must be tackled: Porsche must now deliver on the e-mobility track and the sales situation in China must also improve," Schmidt added. Porsche shares were up 1.6% after the company named Leiters as Blume's potential successor. Shares in Volkswagen were up 1.7%. Leiters, who left McLaren in April after its merger with EV start-up Forseven, was previously chief technology officer for Italian luxury carmaker Ferrari between 2014 and 2019. Before that at Porsche he was instrumental in developing the successful Cayenne model during a 13-year stint as SUV director. "His background appears well aligned with Porsche's sports car and SUV DNA," said Metzler analyst Pal Skirta. PORSCHE, VOLKSWAGEN STRUGGLE IN CHINA Porsche's fortunes have reflected a wider malaise in Germany's once dominant car industry and its broader economy, which has struggled to grow and battled high costs, tariffs and fierce foreign competition. Porsche has toiled particularly in China and Blume recently announced a costly strategy reversal away from EVs and back to the combustion engine models that made it famous. Porsche's sales in China have slumped by nearly a third since hitting a record of 95,671 in 2021. Its China sales were down 26% in the first three quarters of this year from the same period in 2024 and accounted for just 15% of its total, as consumers rejected Porsche's electric vehicles in favour of Chinese futuristic sporty alternatives. Volkswagen has also suffered in China, where its sales fell to 2.8 million cars in 2024, from nearly 3.7 million in 2020. For years, Volkswagen was China's No. 1 automaker, but was overtaken by local rival BYD in 2024. At its current rate of growth, China's Geely appears set to knock Volkswagen into third place in 2025. "This step has come far too late and a lot of time has been wasted," said Ingo Speich of German mutual fund firm Deka Investment, which holds about $48 million of Porsche stock. "Blume must win back the trust of the capital market. He must push ahead with the restructuring and deliver on the announced models and targets," Speich added. Blume, who is seen as close to the Porsche/Piech dynasty that controls Volkswagen via the Porsche SE holding company, told Germany's OMR business podcast last month that he works around 70 hours a week to manage both Porsche and Volkswagen.

Envoy Air targeted in Oracle-linked hacking campaign

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

By AJ Vicens (Reuters) -Envoy Air, American Airlines' largest regional carrier, suffered a hack in recent days as part of the wave of extortion attempts from hackers exploiting Oracle E-Business Suite applications, the company confirmed on Friday. A spokesperson for the Irving, Texas-based company, which operates more than 160 aircraft on 875 daily flights, said in an email that it is aware of the incident, and that the company is investigating and has contacted law enforcement. “We have conducted a thorough review of the data at issue and have confirmed no sensitive or customer data was affected,” the spokesperson said. “A limited amount of business information and commercial contact details may have been compromised.” The company is the second entity to confirm it was hacked as a result of a campaign targeting Oracle E-Business Suite applications claimed by “CL0P,” a cybercriminal extortion group with a history of wide-ranging compromises against third-party software or service providers. CL0P listed American Airlines on its website as a victim late on Thursday. The timing of the attack was not clear. CL0P did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent to an email address used by the group. An American Airlines spokesperson referred questions on the hacking to Envoy Air. Experts at Google, a unit of Alphabet, said on October 9 that “mass amounts of customer data” were stolen in an operation that may have begun as early as three months ago. Harvard University confirmed it had been attacked in a similar fashion earlier this week, according to cybersecurity news outlet the Record.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, ON SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS FROM CLUB OWNER, JIM RATCLIFFE, DURING THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK, SAYING: "He tells me all the time. Sometimes with a message after games. But, you know, I know, and Jim knows that football is not like that. So, the most important thing is the next game. You cannot control – even with owners – you cannot control the next day in football. So, I know that. But it’s really good to hear that. Also because of the noise. But he tells me and Omar (Berrada) and Jason (Wilcox) tell me that all the time." 4. WHITE FLASH 5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, ON SUPPORTIVE COMMENTS FROM CLUB OWNER, JIM RATCLIFFE, DURING THE INTERNATIONAL BREAK, SAYING: "It’s really good to hear that. I think it helps also our fans to understand that the leadership… understand that it's going to take a while. But at the same moment, I don't like that because it will give a feeling that we have time to work things out. So, I don't want that feeling here in our club. Again, the most important thing is the next game. It’s good to feel the support, but we need to prove in football and especially in the big clubs that every weekend we are ready to win games." 6.

When you have to win and the respons(ability) of winning, it's so much harder to play like that. That's why when you play in big clubs, you need to win every match, especially when people are expecting you to win. And we have some difficulties sometimes to deal with that. When people and you guys expect not Manchester United to win that game, maybe (it’s) easier for the players to perform and we need to change that. But to change that, we need to have confidence to win more games, to have more points, to feel more free to play the game. So, I think that is the main reason." 8. WHITE FLASH 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) MANCHESTER UNITED HEAD COACH, RUBEN AMORIM, ON WHETHER IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DROP SENNE LAMMENS FROM THE STARTING GOALKEEPER POSITION, SAYING: "Impossible, nothing is impossible. You have to prove during the week. But, of course, he did a great job. It is possible that he is going to start the game. The first impression in this club is really important. To maintain the level is even more important and really difficult. So, he's not (Peter) Schmeichel… yet. He is a young guy with talent. He shows a lot of composure and the fans like it."

UN shipping agency delays decision on carbon price under US pressure

by Inkhabar webdesk October 17, 2025

written by Inkhabar webdesk

By Enes Tunagur and Jonathan Saul LONDON -A majority of countries at the U.N. shipping agency voted on Friday to postpone by a year a decision on a global carbon price on international shipping, after failing to reach consensus on the emissions reduction measure amid U.S. pressure. The decision to delay the deal is a blow to the European Union and other countries including Brazil which have been pushing for the global shipping industry to go greener and set out a price mechanism for decarbonisation. Washington and Riyadh, the world's two largest oil producers, have strongly opposed a carbon price on shipping during talks in London at the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The Trump administration is looking to boost U.S. economic might, including by taking a bigger role in global shipping, and has used tariffs as a weapon to extract better terms from Washington’s trade partners. After days of disagreements, Saudi Arabia tabled a motion on Friday to defer discussions for one year, which was passed by a simple majority of 57 countries with 49 opposed who sought to continue with a deal. U.S. President Donald Trump called on IMO member states on Thursday to vote no, saying on his Truth Social platform that Washington would "not stand for this global green new scam tax on shipping and will not adhere to it in any way, shape or form". "The delay leaves the shipping sector drifting in uncertainty," said Faig Abbasov, director of shipping with environmental group Transport & Environment. The IMO struck a preliminary deal to charge the global shipping industry for emissions in April after the U.S. pulled out of associated talks, prompting Washington to threaten to use visa restrictions and sanctions on countries that voted in favour. The IMO, which comprises 176 member countries, is responsible for regulating the safety and security of international shipping and preventing pollution. "Let’s not celebrate. There are concerns we need to address," IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez told delegates in closing remarks. Global shipping accounts for nearly 3% of the world's CO2 emissions. About 90% of the world's trade is conducted by sea, and emissions are set to soar without an agreed mechanism.
