Full Story Top Insight: Azerbaijan eyes aiding Israel against Iran Sun,30 Sep 2012 11:06 PM PDT Reuters - BAKU (Reuters) - Israel's "go-it-alone" option to attack Iran's nuclear sites has set the Middle East on edge and unsettled its main ally at the height of a U.S. presidential election campaign. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu exudes impatience, saying Tehran is barely a year from a "red line" for atomic capacity. Many fellow Israelis, however, fear a unilateral strike, lacking U.S. forces, would fail against such a large and distant enemy. ... Full Story Top In Syrian shadow, Iraq's Maliki juggles Tehran, Washington Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:35 PM PDT Reuters - BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Iraq's move to inspect Iranian aircraft flying to Syria may appease the United States but also shows how crisis in Damascus has pushed Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki into an ever more delicate balancing act between his two main allies. When he faced a parliamentary revolt this year, he could count on Tehran to pull strings of influence over restive fellow Shi'ite politicians in Iraq's majority community that saw the Iraqis quickly fall in line again behind the Shi'ite premier. ... Full Story Top Insight: Chicago Fed warned on high-frequency trading, SEC slow to respond Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:40 PM PDT Reuters - NEW YORK (Reuters) - More than two years ago, the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago was pushing the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to get serious about the dangers of superfast computer-driven trading. Only now is the SEC getting around to taking a closer look at some of those issues. Critics of the SEC say the delay is part of a pattern of inaction in dealing with the fallout from high frequency trading and shows that the regulator doesn't yet fully appreciate how fears of machine-driven market meltdowns are driving investors away from U.S. markets. ... Full Story Top Japan PM picks senior lawmaker as finance minister in cabinet change Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:45 PM PDT Reuters - TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda appointed as finance minister on Monday a senior lawmaker who worked with him on a plan to raise the sales tax, in a cabinet reshuffle aimed at boosting his ruling party's chances in an election expected in months.

Full Story Top California governor vetoes bill curbing deportation checks Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:34 PM PDT Reuters - SACRAMENTO (Reuters) - California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed an immigration measure dubbed the "anti-Arizona" bill late on Sunday that would shield some illegal immigrants from federal status checks.

Full Story Top Analysis: Despite turmoil, election seen yielding status quo in Washington Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:02 PM PDT Reuters - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - In forecasting what the U.S. Congress will look like after the November 6 elections, Princeton University's Sam Wang is what his fellow analysts call an "outlier." Wang, one of a dozen or so leading academics who use statistical data to forecast elections, says there is a 74 percent probability that the Democrats will gain the net 25 seats they need to take control of the 435-seat House of Representatives from the Republicans. He cites President Barack Obama's recent rise in the polls, which Wang says could help other Democrats on House ballots. ...

Full Story Top Europe clinches Ryder Cup with stunning comeback Sun,30 Sep 2012 08:44 PM PDT Reuters - MEDINAH, Illinois (Reuters) - Inspired by the spirit of Seve Ballesteros, Europe pulled off one of the greatest comebacks on a golf course to beat the United States and win the Ryder Cup by 14-1/2 points to 13-1/2 on Sunday.

Full Story Top Two Americans killed in confused Afghan shootout Sun,30 Sep 2012 10:39 AM PDT Reuters - KABUL (Reuters) - Two Americans were killed in Afghanistan during an exchange of fire between NATO-led forces and the Afghan army that may have been the result of a misunderstanding, as the death toll of U.S. military and civilian personnel passed 2,000.

China's official factory purchasing managers' index rose to 49.8 in September from 49.2 in August, the National Bureau of Statistics said on Monday.

Violence in Iraq has eased since the carnage of 2006-2007, but Sunni Islamists still launch frequent attacks to undermine the Shi'ite-led government's claim to provide security and prove they remain a potent threat. ...

Full Story Top In Bo's old stronghold, fall blamed on Chinese elite intrigue Sun,30 Sep 2012 02:30 AM PDT Reuters - CHONGQING, China (Reuters) - China's campaign to bury fallen politician Bo Xilai under a litany of alleged misdeeds risks dragging down the ruling Communist Party's own standing among citizens who have already grown to assume that graft and abuse pervade it.
