Prime Minister Boris Johnson shook hands with his rival, opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, during a live television debate, as both men agreed to improve the tone of Britain’s political debate. But the debate was otherwise testy, as Britain’s departure from the EU dominated the opening exchanges when both leaders trying to cast doubt over the other’s pledges ahead of the December 12 election. Audience members laughed at Corbyn’s insistence that his Brexit position was clear, as well as at Johnson’s claim that he believed the truth mattered in the vote.

Volkswagen parts supplier Prevent Group on Monday filed a lawsuit alleging the German automaker (VOWG_p.DE) used anticompetitive tactics to stop larger suppliers like the company from acquiring smaller rivals in the United States.

LONDON (Reuters) – Whether Brexit purists or radical socialists win Britain’s election next month, a deluge of fresh debt is set to bloat the country’s 1.6 trillion pound ($2.1 trillion) government bond pile. But the permutations around the Dec. 12 election – and the implications for Brexit – make it tough for holders of British government debt to predict just what the borrowing bonanza will mean for them. In 2010, Bill Gross – then cast as “king of the bond market” – warned that British government bonds were “resting on a bed of nitroglycerine” because of Britain’s large budget deficit.…

YANGON (Reuters) – A Myanmar judge on Monday extended the sentences of a troupe of satirical performers jailed for mocking the military, in a case that has raised new concern about freedom of expression. Seven members of the Peacock Generation troupe were arrested in April after taking part in Thangyat, a centuries-old form of poetry and performance that pokes fun at the flaws and foibles of the social and political system. During live shows and a Facebook broadcast, they criticized the army’s continued role in politics and shared pictures of a dog in a military jacket. Five members of the…

LONDON (Reuters) – British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Monday he was putting on hold further cuts in corporation tax and told voters he would use the money for spending on health and other priorities. His comments addressed a central issue in a Dec. 12 election as Johnson has been under pressure to show how he would pay for a plan to reverse cuts to many public services over the past decade and boost infrastructure investment. “We are postponing further cuts in corporation tax,” Johnson told business leaders at a conference organised by the Confederation of British Industry, an…

Australian authorities said late they had a long way to go to contain “enormous” bushfires that have raged across a vast area of the country’s east coast and shrouded Sydney in smoke. Officials were responding to more than a dozen emergency warnings in New South Wales (NSW), each covering several communities, by evening as more than half the 85 fires across the state burned uncontrolled amid “catastrophic” conditions. An aircraft was diverted to drop fire retardants on emergency bushfires threatening homes in Sydney’s northern suburbs.
