Retired Brigadier General John Teichert of the U.S. Air Force discusses the Russia-Ukraine war with host Guy Benson. He argues that Putin started the war five years ago, has continued it, and is the only one who can stop it, which will happen only when he concludes it is too costly. Teichert says Russia has struck Ukrainian civilian targets almost daily, kidnapped tens of thousands of Ukrainian children, and provided intelligence to Iran that was used to kill Americans. He notes that Ukraine provided drone and counter-drone capabilities to the U.S. and its Middle East partners and has gained territory on net over the past year, pushing Russia toward economic collapse. He warns that economic lifelines such as the diesel deal or expecting Ukraine to abide by a one-sided ceasefire give Putin room to continue the war.

- Trump reveals key details of possible three-way US-Russia-China meeting
U.S. President Donald Trump said he is ready to attend a three-way meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with nuclear weapons and denuclearization on the agenda, possibly linked to his November visit to China. No date or agenda has been agreed yet. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov welcomed U.S. mediation efforts but stressed that Ukraine must take part in any final peace deal, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha argued that such a meeting would only prolong the conflict. Positions on peace terms remain far apart, and Russia questions Zelensky's authority to sign, claiming his term ended in May 2024.

- Trump says he'd meet with Putin and Xi, criticizes Zelenskyy
President Donald Trump said he would meet Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping to discuss ending the Ukraine war, and suggested such a meeting could happen without Zelenskyy present. He said Russia and China have done 'very little' to help Tehran, which has been accused of receiving their support in its military efforts against the U.S. Trump also criticized Zelenskyy's reaction to his decision to waive new sanctions against Russia, saying Zelenskyy 'doesn't know what he's talking about' and should have settled the war long ago. He added that 'it's time for somebody else to negotiate on behalf of Ukraine,' echoing his earlier call for Kyiv to get a new president.
- Russia fires mysterious weapon at Kyiv, shockwaves spread; President Putin appears in rare image, drawing global attention
On the night of 18 Oct, Russia launched a coordinated strike on multiple Ukrainian targets using ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and Geran UAVs, focused on Kyiv. According to TST, around 10 ballistic missiles of the Iskander-M, S-400 or KN-23 types may have been used in the first wave; an above-ground metro station on Kyiv's left bank was reported damaged, disrupting rail and metro services, and videos of blue flashes led observers to suspect a new weapon. In western Ukraine, a 330 kV transformer station near Kovel may have been targeted. Meanwhile, Putin, who rarely appears in military uniform, visited a command post and stressed establishing a “security zone” along the border; blogger Yuri Podolyaka argued Moscow no longer treats these areas as bargaining chips. Front-line correspondent Alexander Kots said the part of Donetsk still controlled by Ukraine is just over 2,700 km².
- US resumes sharing intelligence with Ukraine after several days of disruption
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the United States has resumed sharing key intelligence after a pause, which helps Ukraine defend against Russian ballistic missile attacks. On October 14, he said the Trump administration had warned that sharing could be suspended unless Ukraine stopped attacking Russian oil refineries. In an interview with NBC's Meet the Press on October 18, Zelensky said everything was now working normally and he hoped talks with the US could take place this week. President Trump said Washington would keep sharing intelligence, even though Ukrainian officials said some Russian strikes came without warning. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called Ukraine's long-range strikes, including the night-of-October-17 attack on St. Petersburg, desperate efforts that would not change the outcome.
- Zelensky : Russia Hit Energy Grid 76 Times Since Ceasefire Call
Zelensky said Russia has carried out 76 targeted strikes on Ukraine's power grid and oil-and-gas infrastructure since Trump announced an “energy ceasefire” one week ago. Overnight strikes hit substations in Odesa, Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia and Zhytomyr, leaving tens of thousands of households without power, while two people were killed and 12 injured, including two children. Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 2,700 strike drones, 1,700 guided aerial bombs and 66 missiles, mostly ballistic, with energy as the main target. Zelensky argued that Moscow sees sanctions relief and US waivers as proof its war strategy is paying off, and called for more pressure on Russia so that peace has a chance.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.
- CNBC Daily Open: Tech rebounds in the U.S., but Asia isn’t buying it yet
U.S. tech stocks rebounded as the Nasdaq Composite rose more than 1% on Monday, with Nvidia up 1.4% and Tesla up 3.8%. In Asia, however, tech shares fell on Tuesday, with South Korea's Kospi down over 4% and Japan's Nikkei 225 down 1.6%. Nvidia also unveiled plans to back four German AI startups as part of its nearly $10 billion European investment commitment. Jenny Lee of Granite Asia said Asian companies are reaching IPOs much sooner, often at four to five years old, while Jio Platforms' Indian IPO saw its anchor investor quota oversubscribed more than 30 times, aiming to raise up to 302 billion rupees ($3.2 billion). In Singapore, several agricultural stocks fell after Senior Minister K Shanmugam warned that companies would not escape responsibility for possible roles in the haze, noting seven firms had been questioned by the Singapore Exchange.
- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
