Slashing oil production is a big two fingers to the US - but will it backfire for Russia?
The Opec+ cartel of oil-producing nations has announced a production cut of two million barrels per day. It is a big and dramatic move from the grouping which accounts for around 44% of global oil production. Although expectations had been growing in recent days of a major cut - first one million barrels, then one and a half and then two - it is nonetheless a loud message from Opec+ (Opec and allies such as Russia) that the fall in oil prices since May has gone too far and needs to be addressed.

Iran summons British ambassador after 'interventionist comments'
DUBAI (Reuters) -Iran's foreign ministry summoned the British ambassador in Tehran in reaction to "interventionist comments" from the British foreign ministry, the semi-official news agency Tasnim reported on Wednesday. "The British side, by issuing unilateral statements, shows that it has a role in the belligerent scenarios of terrorists active against the Islamic Republic," the director general of Western Europe at Iran's foreign ministry added, after saying that London's remarks on Iran's internal affairs were "based on fake and provocative interpretations." Britain's foreign ministry said on Monday it had summoned the Iranian charge d’affaires, Iran’s most senior diplomat in Britain, over the crackdown on protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in custody.

Elon Musk's Twitter deal is back on - but will he back out for a second time?
Like most of its regular users, Elon Musk loves to hate on Twitter, usually via the medium of Twitter. It was a valid, if overblown, question, but at that point, Musk was in talks to join the social network's board of directors, which made it an odd opinion to fire off in public. "You are free to tweet 'is twitter dying?' or anything else about Twitter," he texted, "but it's my responsibility to tell you that it's not helping me make twitter better in the current context".
