U.S. official: Trump cut deal with Putin on diesel after Zelensky ignored his requests to stop attacking Russian oil refineries (LINK) — 10 October 2026

— Axios: Russia imposed a ban on diesel exports in response to Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries, which added more pressure to global diesel markets under strain from the war in Iran.

British Northern Ireland Secretary Sir Chris Bryant has banned the contentious Orange Order parade at Drumcree (LINK) — 9 October 2026

— BBC: The dispute led to a stand-off between Orangemen and nationalist residents of the Garvaghy Road in Portadown lasting almost two weeks. The stalemate has reopened what was once the most bitter parading dispute in Northern Ireland, with stand-offs in the mid-to-late 1990s accompanied by riots, roadblocks and killings. The Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland has applied to complete the full march for the past 28 years, with exceptions such as during the Covid pandemic — but every year has been denied permission by the Parades Commission. This year the Parades Commission ruled that the march, on Sunday 27 September, could go ahead with restrictions in place. That parade did not happen and, after a series of talks between residents and Orangemen, the secretary of state has banned the procession.

France is on a "fiscally unsustainable path" and may have become "too big to save" for the European Central Bank — Nobel economist Paul Krugman: Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu faces a struggle to pass a contentious 2027 budget that seeks to impose tens of billions of dollars' worth of fiscal consolidation. (LINK) — 9 October 2026

— Krugman wrote on Thursday that France was facing mounting interest on its government debt while exacerbating its high debt-to-GDP ratio with large budget deficits. A key issue is the country's failure to address its relatively low retirement age as the population ages, he argued. "France's reliance on the euro means that it's all too easy to see how this loss of confidence could turn into an ugly crisis... We saw this movie in 2009-2012, first in Greece, then in Portugal, Spain and Italy," Krugman wrote, referring to the Sovereign Debt Crisis that spurred extensive intervention by the ECB.
