EDF board confirms approval for Hinkley Point decision
Reuters reports that the board of EDF has given the thumbs up to the Hinkley Point nuclear project, despite UK imposed restrictions to the project.
The report suggests the board approved the £18bn project with a 10 to 7 majority, the same as in July, when the board first approved it.
EDF chief Jean-Bernard Levy had submitted the project to another vote after the UK government imposed limits on EDF's right to sell its two-third stake in the project.

Vancouver has the most over-valued property market in the world, according to a new report.
The Canadian city has taken over from London to be named the city with most unsustainable house prices in the "Bubble Index" report from UBS.
Why? Because Vancouver's property market has had two years of strong growth and been boosted by a flood of cash-rich Chinese.
Economists at the Swiss bank compared prices in 18 cities and reckon that Stockholm, Sydney, Munich and Hong Kong are also in the middle of property bubbles.
Prices in each of the at-risk cities have increased by almost 50% on average since 2011, according to the report.

US senators have piled more pressure on Yahoo, demanding that the internet giant gives more details of who knew what and when about its huge data breach.
In a letter to chief executive Marissa Mayer, six Democratic politicians said the hack into 500 million user accounts was "unacceptable".
It comes a day after another senator called on the powerful SEC financial regulator to investigate.
The Federal Reserve should avoid raising interest rates too much, according to the Fed's vice-chairman Stanley Fischer.
"I don't want to raise the interest rate too much," Mr Fischer told students at Howard University.
He said rates should rise but admitted that "I don't know when" that should happen.
The US central bank left rates unchanged last week, but Fed chair Janet Yellen intimated that a rate hike was likely by the end of the year.

Executive directors voted unanimously to reappoint the 56-year old, according to the World Bank.
He is the 12th president of the World Bank having taken up his role on 1 July 2012.

He has dedicated himself to international development and is a co-founder of Partners In Health and a former director of the HIV/AIDS Department at the World Health Organization.
More German bank problems
The problems at Deutsche Bank appear to be affecting other German banks.
NordLB (or Norddeutsche Landesbank to give it its full title) has abandoned plans to raise 500m euros via a bond sale.
Apparently the decision was due to a lack of demand among investors, says Reuters from Frankfurt.
The bank is publicly owned via the states of Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt.

Staff at the US' biggest bank opened two million accounts and credit cards without customers' consent.

Irn Bru maker AG Barr is cutting 90 jobs - around 10% of its workforce - as consumers move towards towards low-sugar drinks.
The firm said total revenues fell 4% to £125.6m for the six months to the end of July as customers reacted to the "significant weight of negative media coverage" towards soft drinks with added sugar.
AG Barr said the Government's sugar tax - set to come into force in April 2018 - was "a punitive and unnecessary distortion to competition in the UK market".
The Cumbernauld-based company - which also owns Rubicon, Strathmore and Funkin - said it would axe around 90 positions in its commercial, supply chain and central operations.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton have had their first gladiatorial encounter live on American television, in front of an estimated audience of 80 million people.
There had been hopes that the audience might reach 100 million, which would have been a record, however according to early viewing figures that didn't happen.
But it was still a pretty feisty encounter, with business and economic themes playing a big part.
A man who has seen many elections over the years is the noted US economist, Irwin Stelzer of the Hudson Institute. Alex Ritson asked him what he made of the debate.

Over the past five years, the older age group has increased spending on travel by 23%, says a study by the CEBR consultancy for Saga.
Those under 50 have cut spending on tourism by 5% during the same period.
As a result, the older generation is now responsible for well over half the UK's total spending on holidays.

Economists for Brexit hail Fox's move
ReutersCopyright: Reuters
Economists for Brexit have voiced their support of Liam Fox's speech to the World Trade Organisation.
He signalled the UK's commitment to the WTO, which the campaigning group believes can pave the way for the UK to leave the Single Market, take up independent membership of the WTO and move to Unilateral Free Trade.
“We now appear to see government signalling the first steps in the right direction," said Patrick Minford, co-chair of Economists for Brexit.
"Many still fail to appreciate rather than just being the default position in the absence of a trade deal with the EU in order to deliver the type of Brexit the UK electorate voted for, leaving the Single Market is in fact the optimal option for the UK economy.”
