Were just a couple of days away from the ryder cup getting under way, in rome. It will be the first tournament since the start of the Breakway Liv Golf series. Brooks koepka is the only rebel golfer taking part on the us team, europe made the decision to exclude liv golfers so no ryder cup legends sergio garcia, lee westwood, and ian poulter. Its certainly a little strange not having them around, but i think this week of all weeks, its going to hit home with them that theyre not here, and i think they are going to miss being here more than we are missing them. I think this week is a realisation that the decision that they made has led to not being part of this week, and thats tough and the landscape in golf is ever changing and more dynamic, and we will see whats happening and whether they will be a part of it in the future. I always thought leading up to this week is when its going to hit home that they are not going to be here. Theres also been an all star celebrity match, taking pla
winners dortmund saw the french side through, as eddie howe s side finished bottom of group f. you see everything that goes on the pitch and i see what goes on behind the scenes and the players and i can for them at all. fault them at all. i don t think we were at our absolute best tonight. i think if we had have been, we would have won the game. but i can t fault the commitment and what they re giving me, especially under the circumstances we re playing in. so that s why it s painful for me and for them, because i know how professional they are, and i know how much they want to achieve success. confirmation, then, of city progressing as group winners, along with rb leipzig who beat young boys on wednesday. a shock for barcelona who were beaten 3 2 antwerp they still go through as group winners, porto progress with them, after beating shakhtar. celtic got theirfirst champions league win in ten years, beating feyenoord. but atletico and lazio go through in that group.
chairjerome powell suggested as much. as we approach the end of the year, it s natural to look back on the progress that has been made toward our dual mandate objectives. inflation has eased from its highs, and this has come without a significant increase in unemployment. these are things we want to see. why might the rate hiking cycle has included 11 increases. government data showed inflation dropped from 9.1% in mid-2022 to 3.1% in november. that is above the target of 2% and jerome powell cautioned the committee had not ruled out raising rates again in the future. for wall street the dowjones international average jumped to record close. this is the third time in a row of the central bank decided against another rate hike. for investors satisfied with what the fed has done is when it will start cutting rates? there is a lot to digests in america big questions about whether a cut is likely. we will talk about that than i want to come onto the uk and europe. what is your as
mr speaker, i thank the honourable gentleman for all of the comments, and what i would say to him is he should hear what they have to say about him, mr speaker! after a day of wrangling with mps on the right of his party, rishi sunak emerged victorious last night, in a vote on the cotentious legislation to rescue his rwanda scheme. in the end, not a single tory mp voted against it, although many abstained, which means a showdown at later readings of the bill, still likely in the new year. but while it was all merriment and myrth in the chamber, over at the home affairs select committee, the director general for migration and borders, dann hobbs, was answering difficult questions, which reveal, just how chaotic our asylum system has become. mr ridley didn t know where any of the 17,316 were. roughly how many do you think you know where they are? i don t know that data, as i said, we are in the process of clarifying that data and writing to the committee to set out what we do k
