Worth noting the OCC still could not quantify how widespread the practice was — and issued no fines — while flagging that some banks may have rebranded reputation risk as franchise or brand risk.

Singapore’s MPA also says a second Singapore-flagged ship, GFS Giselle, was struck the next day and made safe anchorage under its own power — all crew on both ships reported uninjured.

California’s Secretary of State says DOJ did not provide that list to her office — only LA County got a password-protected drive — and officials are disputing federal authority to dictate ballot handling.

Singapore-flagged container ship GFS Pride sank near the Strait of Hormuz after a projectile strike. A damaged dry bulk carrier in the area is also reportedly sinking. dailybug.news/article/eng-12… The full briefing is in the app apps.apple.com/us/app/dailyb…

The other half of the IMF outlook: it sees global inflation at 4.7% in 2026, easing only to 4.1% in 2027, and estimates up to 40% of jobs worldwide could be reshaped by AI over time. The growth upgrade is 0.1 points from July.

The other side: Sen. Barrasso defends the deal as a tough call to bring down energy costs and pressure Moscow. The legal fight hinges on a Treasury license suspending sanctions on Russian diesel until April 2027, which critics say conflicts with the 2022 ban.

Worth noting: Bulgaria hasn't formally assigned blame. PM Radev says the investigation is still inconclusive on whether the drones came from Russia or Ukraine, and no drone debris has been found yet. Russia's embassy denies targeting the ships.

Japan's deputy defense minister said the second missile flew an irregular path, which could point to a hypersonic weapon. The launches come days after South Korea tested its own hypersonic glide vehicle. Pyongyang hasn't commented.

The other side: the White House defends the spots as public service announcements, and DOJ argued the campaign was about to end anyway. The judge ruled the case wasn't moot. The order runs 14 days while litigation continues.

Context from the reporting: the pressure follows Trump's announced energy ceasefire and his diesel deal with Putin. A White House official told Axios Trump sees the refinery strikes as hurting US interests. Zelensky says he's still awaiting ceasefire details.
