US urges allies to boost defence amid China threat to Taiwan
Beijing poses a real and potentially imminent threat to Taiwan – so said US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth at the Shangri-La defence forum in Singapore. In turn, China accused the US of trying to provoke trouble in the Asia-Pacific region. Mr Hegseth also urged America's Asian allies to increase their defence spending, echoing the demand he made of European allies earlier this year. John Healey, the UK defence secretary, says he expects spending on national defence to reach 3% of GDP by the end of the next parliament.

Hamas agrees to release ten hostages in response to ceasefire plan
With food aid struggling to reach its intended destination and the UN warning of a yet worsening humanitarian situation, the stakes for Gazans could scarcely be higher. Hamas said it had responded 'positively' to the ceasefire proposal presented by President Trump's Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff. But reports in Israel that suggest the government there is treating Hamas's response as an effective rejection.

Westminster often ‘doesn't connect' with voters, says Andy Burnham
The Labour Party came to power last July promising a 'decade of national renewal'. But in the seven months since their landslide election victory, there's been mixed progress on that pledge. There have been advances on workers' rights, and the setting up of GB Energy – but big questions over the government's climate and welfare plans. Poll numbers have declined dramatically, and the government is now pondering major u-turns on benefits to try and combat the rise of Reform UK. So what does that decade of renewal look like, and how do they get voters back on side? We spoke to Andy Burnham, the Labour mayor for Greater Manchester, who's been taking part in a conference today in London, and asked first off why Reform is doing so well?

You Can Get a Stupid Cheap Maserati From Hertz
Want a great deal on a vehicle that's lived most of its life as a rental car? Hertz is the place to go. With one of America's largest rental fleets, the agency regularly puts its former rental cars up for sale for cheap. Not even luxury brands like Maserati are immune to price drops. As Carscoops uncovered , Hertz currently has a fleet of Maseratis for sale in the US—and many of them cost less than a new Honda CR-V. The Maseratis in question are all Grecale SUVs, and they range in price from as little as $36,543 at the time of writing to a still-pretty-reasonable $48,022 for the most expensive. Photo by: Hertz And even for rental cars, the mileage on most of these Grecales isn't that bad. The cheapest one of the bunch only has 28,371 miles, while a handful of other examples have fewer than 15,000 miles. There's even one Grecale with less than 10,000 miles that costs a cool $38,999. Not bad at all. Those prices are pretty shocking considering that a brand-new Maserati Grecale will set you back at least $77,900, with the most-expensive trim—the electric Folgore—starting at a whopping $119,900 for 2025. Of course, Maserati isn't known for its reliability, and that's likely keeping consumers from snapping up these lightly used luxury SUVs. As Carscoops notes, this is already the second price drop for Hertz's Grecale fleet in recent months. That said, there haven't been many known issues surrounding the Grecale from a reliability standpoint. Maserati's SUV rides on the same platform as the Alfa Romeo Stelvio, which has been hit or miss historically in terms of reliability. We say roll the dice, what could go wrong?
