Boeing delayed first 777X deliveries to 2027 and took nearly $5bn in charges, bringing program costs to about $15bn, including customer penalties. Shares slipped 1% premarket; an industry analyst said the charge topped expectations but wasn’t crippling as demand for widebodies grows. Separately, the FAA approved raising 737 Max production to 42 a month. Boeing delivered 55 jets in September, its best since 2018. Free cash flow turned positive at $238m, revenue rose 30% to $23.27bn ahead of estimates, but the adjusted loss was $7.47 per share, larger than expected.

UN data show wealthy nations’ climate adaptation aid fell 7 percent to about $26 billion in 2023, leaving them unlikely to meet a $40 billion annual pledge by 2025—still only a fraction of needs. The slowdown echoes wider stumbles: President Trump is pulling the U.S. from the Paris accord, and only about one-third of countries met a deadline to update emissions plans. Leaders still aim to meet in Belém, Brazil next month, amid a rocky start. “Sluggish progress should send shock waves,” warned Palau’s Ilana Seid.

The Daily Show skewered President Donald Trump’s Japan visit, likening him to an Old American Beaver Hound being paraded through Akasaka Palace by newly elected Takaichi. The mock commentary followed their rigid inspection, his brief wander from her side, and a triumphant step onto a podium. Trump has since moved on to South Korea in a wider Asia tour, after a speech aboard the USS George Washington in Yokosuka. He is expected to meet President Lee Jae Myung and China’s Xi Jinping, while a hoped-for meeting with Kim Jong Un didn’t materialize.

Leading the New York City mayor's race on an affordability message, Zohran Mamdani is refusing to say whether he supports three housing ballot measures, even with early voting underway. The proposals would speed approvals for affordable projects, curb City Council 'member deference,' and shift more power to the mayor, drawing opposition from Council leaders and unions that back him. Rivals Andrew M. Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa split on the measures and attacked his silence, while allies such as Gov. Kathy Hochul and Comptroller Brad Lander support them amid a fractured progressive response.

A Pentagon memo signed by Maj Gen Ronald Burkett orders National Guard units in all 50 states, D.C., and territories to build “quick reaction forces” trained in riot control, citing Donald Trump’s August executive order. Most states must train 500 members, totaling 23,500, with trainers aiming to make units operational by Jan. 1, 2026 and supplying each state 100 sets of crowd-control gear. A separate directive creates a D.C. military police battalion, with 50 personnel ready in 90 days. Janessa Goldbeck called it an effort to normalize a militarized police force; White House and Pentagon did not comment.

Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier will have his $26.6 million salary withheld while on leave following his Oct. 23 arrest on federal gambling-related charges, sources told AP; the move brings no immediate cap relief, and he could be paid in full if cleared. Portland is similarly holding coach Chauncey Billups’ salary after his arrest. Rozier’s lawyer said a 2021 IRS lien showing $8,218,211.70 was satisfied and reflected only about $9,000 owed, though public records don’t show removal. The NBA is reviewing injury-report practices as senators seek details on the case.

Elijah Wood made an unexpected return to the Shire in New Zealand's Waikato, stumbling upon a Middle-earth-themed wedding in full swing. In video shared by the Hobbiton Movie Set TikTok, the 44-year-old actor, casually dressed in a windbreaker and jeans, jogs over to congratulate the stunned couple as guests cheer. He poses for photos, with even the officiant asking for a picture. No rings were taken, and the moment, to borrow another character's word, was simply "precious".

Paramount’s cuts reached CBS News on Wednesday, canceling the streaming editions of CBS Mornings and CBS Evening News, overhauling CBS Saturday Morning, and shuttering the Johannesburg bureau. Nearly 100 CBS News staffers are affected, part of about 1,000 layoffs across Paramount following Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global, with another 1,000 expected. Inside the newsroom, one staffer described the mood as “depressed and unhappy” on a “very tough day.” The cuts predate Bari Weiss’s appointment as editor in chief. The future of Saturday co-hosts Michelle Miller and Dana Jacobson is unclear.

Open enrollment for individual health plans begins Saturday in most states, amid a government shutdown and a congressional fight over extending enhanced tax credits. Premiums are expected to rise around 20% next year, and expiration of enhanced tax credits could more than double costs for some. Insurer rates may not change even if Congress restores aid before the window closes. A 90% federal cut to navigator funding will limit free help in many states. Enroll by Dec. 15 for Jan. 1 coverage, with most states closing Jan. 15; start at healthcare.gov and apply for tax credits first.

With eight Power 4 jobs already open and more likely coming, the article pairs 13 programs with “ideal” hires, noting splashy poaches haven’t aged well while many top teams are led by first-time head coaches. Proposed moves include Lane Kiffin to LSU; Eli Drinkwitz to Florida; Bob Chesney to Penn State; Alex Golesh to Auburn; Will Stein to Florida State; Jeff Monken to Wisconsin; Pat Fitzgerald to Michigan State; Dan Mullen to Ole Miss; Ryan Silverfield to Arkansas; James Franklin to Virginia Tech; Mike Norvell to Missouri; Jon Sumrall to Kentucky; and Eric Morris to UCLA.
