World News – 23 September 2025

• France plans to formally recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly this week – following similar statements made by the UK, Canada and Australia over the weekend. This step brings major Western powers into alignment with the close to 150 countries that already recognize Palestine — yet further from the US, which is now the only permanent member of the UN Security Council that doesn’t.
• Russia has a plan to hack Moldova’s pivotal election on Sunday and undermine the re-election efforts of President Maia Sandu’s Party of Action and Solidarity, in a bid to disrupt the country’s path towards EU membership, according to documents reviewed by Bloomberg. Less than a year ago, the country narrowly voted yes in a referendum on whether it should pursue EU membership – a plebiscite which attracted claims of Russian interference. In this election, documents show a sophisticated Russian strategy of interference.
• A cyberattack that forced airlines to cancel flights at several major European airports was caused by ransomware. The attack began on Friday after the targeting of a system called MUSE, which underpins check-in and baggage systems for airports worldwide – forcing airports to manually process bags and passenger check-ins. This caused major delays that led to the cancellation of dozens of flights and the delay of hundreds more at London Heathrow, Berlin Brandenburg Airport and Brussels over the weekend. A June report by a French defense company showed a 600% year-on-year increase in ransomware attacks in the aviation sector.
• Citigroup is set to return to its former office – a skyscraper that bears its name – in London’s Canary Wharf after a £1 billion renovation project. At present, the bank is renting the lower rise 33 Canada Square From Canary Wharf Group while work is done on the next-door 200-metre skyscraper at 25 Canada Square, which it bought for around £1 billion in 2019. Canary Wharf – an east London district of large glass and steel towers – has faced challenges since the pandemic. The area has begun to turn the tide recently with a series of major banks recommitting to it for the long term and new occupiers diversifying it away from finance and bringing more fun and life.
• Turkey has scrapped retaliatory tariffs put on some US products after a 2018 diplomatic row, before a White House summit expected to yield multibillion-dollar deals. The tariffs were on goods from cars to whiskey, introduced after the US imposed similar taxes on Turkish steel and aluminum when the two countries fell out over the arrest of an American pastor. Their removal is part of an effort to triple bilateral trade to $100 billion, Turkey’s trade ministry said ahead of a meeting on Thursday between Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump.
• European golden visas are being rolled back after their benefits failed to materialize in full, and in some cases caused bigger problems like housing shortages. This means Europe is heading in the opposite direction to the US, where the government is luring in new wealthy residents from overseas with a $1 million “Trump Gold Card.” Countries pulling back include Portugal, which ended the real estate path to residency permit in a bid to ease pressure on housing costs, although other schemes still exist.
• Porsche’s electric-vehicle plans are being scaled back, correcting an expensive strategy that depressed its margins and dragged down parent company Volkswagen. Porsche has shelved a future battery-powered luxury SUV and said it would add more combustion-engine and hybrid models to bolster its portfolio. The pivot is causing a €1.8 billion hit to operating profit and forced Porsche and Volkswagen to slash their outlook for the year. It’s yet another setback for Germany’s car industry, which is contending with high costs and muted sales.
• The UK and US will open a taskforce that will work together on digital assets and capital markets, part of a flurry of initiatives announced as part of Trump’s state visit to the UK last week. The group will also explore “options for short-to-medium term collaboration on digital assets whilst legislation and regulatory regimes are still developing,” and is expected to report back within six months. Ahead of Trump’s visit last week, a fresh crypto lobbying push was underway with UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves holding a private meeting with trade groups.

• Israeli airstrikes on a Sana’a newspaper complex last week killed 31 journalists and media staff, making it the deadliest attack on reporters since the 2009 Maguindanao massacre in the Philippines.
