Exclusive-UK public's inflation expectations rocket to record high: GfK
LONDON (Reuters) -A record proportion of the British public thinks inflation will accelerate over the next 12 months, according to data that could further boost expectations that the Bank of England will raise interest rates next month. Some 48% of people surveyed this month by consumer research firm GfK expected prices to increase more rapidly over the next 12 months, up from 34% in September, the figures seen exclusively by Reuters showed. It marked the highest share since records began in January 1985, when Margaret Thatcher was prime minister and more than a decade before the BoE became operationally independent.

Ethiopia's Abiy Ahmed and TPLF must communicate and negotiate to avoid dreadful toll of 'total war'
There is one image from Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's recent inauguration that really stuck in my mind, a mental image that said something significant about him and the perilous future of this country of 110 million. The 45-year old Ethiopian looked comfortable in this setting, every inch the strong and powerful African ruler, and he would later declare his intention to "protect the nation from foreign interference" amid global criticism over the war in the northern region of Tigray. A bundle of youthful and optimistic energy, Mr Ahmed released thousands of political prisoners, lifted restrictions on independent media and asked hundreds of exiled opposition leaders to return home.

Somerset: Pensioner accused of murdering husband after row over bubble and squeak tells court she 'lost the plot'
A woman accused of murdering her husband following a family meal over Zoom told a court she "lost the plot" when he called her "pathetic" in the bedroom and later taunted her in the kitchen. Penelope Jackson, 66, stabbed David Jackson, 78, three times with a kitchen knife just hours after they fought during a meal to celebrate her birthday. In cross-examination, Christopher Quinlan QC, prosecuting, suggested to the defendant she had "deliberately lunged" at Mr Jackson's chest with the knife in the bedroom and he was of no threat to her when she attacked him a second time.
