A family in Surin, Thailand received the body of a man believed to be about 50 from a hospital in Rayong instead of their relative, Oi, 46, who died of localized myocardial ischemia. The mix-up was discovered only when the family opened the coffin to prepare the funeral, although they had earlier doubted the body, which was much smaller than Oi and sealed in a zippered bag. Hospital staff refused to open the bag, citing infection risk, and insisted it was the correct body. The two sides met halfway to swap the bodies, and the family postponed the funeral in the meantime. A village chief said the family only wants the correct body back and does not want to make the matter public, and urged the hospital to review its procedures and inspect bodies more thoroughly before handover.

- Justice vice - minister Hiroki Abe accused of funneling political funds to himself , family shrine
Parliamentary Vice-Minister of Justice Hiroki Abe is accused of paying his own political branch's funds to himself through a rental deal for a car he personally owns. Financial reports from 2022 to 2024 show the branch paid him 40,000 yen a month, about 1.44 million yen in total over three years, plus 14,300 yen monthly for parking. The branch also paid 110,000 yen monthly in office rent to Suwa Shrine, whose chief priest is Abe's cousin, while Abe is chief priest of the sister Kotohira Shrine, which historically shares the same office and phone number. The embattled lawmaker's office has yet to publicly explain the use of these funds.
- Tax pros push for House passage of TAS Act by end of year
The Taxpayer Assistance and Service (TAS) Act passed the Senate by unanimous consent at the end of September and now awaits House action, possibly during the lame duck session after November's midterm election. The bill includes 65 provisions, including a public dashboard on call volumes and wait times, callbacks for calls holding more than five minutes from 2028, optical character recognition to digitize paper returns, and continuing education and background checks for paid preparers. The Senate Finance Committee advanced it 26-1 in July, with endorsements from groups such as the AICPA and NAEA. Experts say the Senate vote adds pressure on the House, though it is unclear whether Ways and Means Chairman Jason Smith and his committee will sign off, as the House has been moving overlapping tax bills separately. Supporters point to 22 direct counterparts between House and TAS legislation, which could allow passage under suspension with a two-thirds vote.
- Anthropic warns AI models could soon copy themselves across home devices
Anthropic said small AI models are 'months away' from being able to replicate themselves across internet-connected home devices such as smart ovens and Android TV boxes, using their computing power without relying on data centers. Such a model would be 'challenging to shut down' because there is no centralized point to switch off, though the company said no fully rogue replicator exists yet. In its tests, Anthropic ran Google's Gemma4-26B-A4B model across a network of 15 cheap off-brand Android TV boxes, which often have weak security, and said a larger model could split into shards across devices. The company warned that future threats could include slow distributed replicators or faster ones that breach hardened machines, and expects agents to run on all types of hardware, including some outside human control.
- IMF warns bond yields could see a 'disorderly' spike as debt, inflation risks worsen
The IMF warned that government bond yields could spike in a disorderly way as rising inflation, mounting debt and AI-related borrowing pressure sovereign bond markets. Yields in several advanced economies have reached multidecade highs, driven partly by higher energy costs from the Middle East conflict, and global public debt is near its highest level since World War II. Hyperscalers’ share of global investment-grade bond issuance has risen to 10% from less than 1% since 2024, while hedge funds’ share of U.S. Treasuries rose to about 9% in 2025 from about 4% in 2022, which the IMF says leaves the market susceptible to a disorderly unwind. The fund also flagged “circular” AI financing: 14 disclosed deals since 2023 channeled about $300 billion of equity and $650 billion of debt, in exchange for $1.4 trillion of future revenue commitments.

- 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.
