World News – 8 October 2025

• Voluntary medical male circumcision is one of the most important ways to reduce new HIV infections. The foreskin contains receptors that the HIV virus can attach to, and removing it reduces HIV transmission from women to men by about 60%. With US funding being cut for HIV programmes, it is increasingly important to scale up voluntary circumcision programmes using local resources. Enter Unicirc, a novel surgical instrument designed in South Africa according to World Health Organization (WHO) specifications.
• For the first time ever, renewables outshone coal — generating more global electricity in early 2025. China and India led the surge, while the US and EU oddly cranked up fossil fuels. A clean-energy plot twist indeed.
• Hungary’s central bank isn’t budging — keeping sky-high rates despite PM Viktor Orbán’s pleas to cut before elections. With inflation still hot and politics heating up, it’s a classic case of money, power and pre-vote pressure.
• Airbus just dethroned Boeing — its A320 family is now the most-delivered jet in history, ending a 40-year transatlantic rivalry. From fly-by-wire rebels to industry royalty, Toulouse has officially out-flown Seattle in aviation’s ultimate numbers game.
• Over the course of the next month, the Standing Committee on Public Accounts (Scopa) hearings will seek to get to the root of the issues at the RAF as well as provide recommendations from entities such as the RAF itself, the Department of Transport, the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer, the Office of the Accountant-General, the Auditor-General of South Africa, and the Special Investigating Unit (SIU).
• Hamas is looking to secure a “fair hostage exchange” as part of a deal with Israel to end the two-year war. Israel and Hamas have begun mediated peace talks this week in the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Sharm El Sheikh to build on US President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan. An agreement should include the unconditional entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, a guarantee for refugees to return and immediate permission to begin reconstruction under a Palestinian committee, a Hamas spokesperson. It wasn’t clear from the comments if Hamas would agree to release hostages it holds without all of the group’s conditions being met.
• The European Union unveiled tariffs today meant to shield its steel sector. The European Commission proposed tariffs of 50% — twice the current rate — on all steel imports above a quota that will be cut by roughly 45%. The move is a response to mounting fears that traditional European industries like steel are fading, choked by a glut of subsidized Chinese competition, high energy prices and dwindling local demand. The measures would align EU tariffs with a 50% US levy on most foreign steel and aluminum.

• Russia’s seaborne crude shipments held close to a 16-month high in the past four weeks, as Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries force the diversion of supplies to export terminals and strain their effective capacity. The EU meanwhile proposed restrictions on three firms that have provided fake flags to sanctioned oil tankers in Russia’s shadow fleet, according to documents we’ve seen. For its part, Ukraine said it will have to ramp up natural gas imports by almost a third after Russia intensified attacks against key energy infrastructure.
• BlackRock says European corporate bondsstand out as one of the most compelling opportunities in global credit, with yields near 3% offering a rare source of relatively safe income. In particular, the firm favors banks, utilities, technology, media, and telecommunications, which are more insulated from tariffs than other companies.
• The UK government’s decision to guarantee a £1.5 billion ($2 billion) emergency loan to Jaguar Land Rover to contain the fallout from a major cyberattack from late August carries a moral hazard, experts tell us. While allowing the carmaker to pay its suppliers and potentially protecting thousands of jobs at risk from the business disruption, it may also act as a disincentive for companies to spend more on cybersecurity.
• Saudi Arabia is making “uneven” progress on its most ambitious infrastructure projects due to challenges including engineering constraints, a shortfall in private investment and lower oil prices, according to Moody’s Investors Service. While the Gulf kingdom is still expected to implement Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s economic transformation plan, known as Vision 2030, fiscal trade-offs indicate the government will continue to post budget shortfalls in years to come, Moody’s said.
