American Express Platinum Card gets pricier and adds new perks, including a $400 dining credit

SUMMARY: American Express' latest update to its high-end Platinum Card, unveiled Thursday, comes with a lot more perks and a lofty annual fee of $895. The card now includes a $400 dining credit and a $600 hotel credit, up from $300, among other benefits. The $200 increase in the annual fee may pressure cardholders to decide whether to keep the Platinum Card or another high-fee card like Chase's Sapphire Reserve. The Platinum Card remains popular, but faces competition from other high-reward cards. AmEx emphasizes the value of its perks, totaling roughly $3,500, and aims to offer benefits that exceed the annual fee.

Did you dawdle on that new heat pump or EV? Better move fast to get those tax credits

SUMMARY: Tax incentives that have saved U.S. residents thousands of dollars on home efficiency upgrades, clean energy installations and electric vehicles are expiring this year. That means people who want to take advantage of them before they disappear have to act quickly. Most of the credits expire at the end of the year, including for such things as home energy audits, heat pumps, solar panels and battery storage. And for some things like solar panels, it may be a struggle to find an installer who's not already booked all the way through the end of the year. There's even less time for EV buyers. Those credits expire at the end of September.

How the Fed's rate cut impacts mortgage rates

SUMMARY: The Federal Reserve just cut its benchmark rate for the first time since last year, but that doesn't guarantee mortgage rates will keep dropping. Mortgage rates have been declining since late July, with the average 30-year mortgage rate at 6.35% last week. However, rates didn't fall last year despite multiple Fed rate cuts. Mortgage rates are influenced by various factors, including the 10-year Treasury yield. While lower rates can boost the housing market, they remain too high for many buyers. Experts suggest buying now if you can afford it, rather than waiting for potentially lower rates.

Turkey warns Cyprus' Israeli air defense system could destabilize island

SUMMARY: Turkey is closely monitoring Cyprus' reported purchase of an Israeli air defense system. Turkish officials warn that this move could destabilize the fragile balance on the divided island. Turkish defense ministry officials expressed concerns on Thursday over reports suggesting that an Israeli-made Barak MX system had been delivered to Cyprus.

Bank of England voices inflation concerns as it holds main UK interest rate at 4%

SUMMARY: The Bank of England has held its main interest rate at 4% as U.K. inflation concerns weigh on policymakers. The decision was widely anticipated. The minutes of the meeting showed that rate-setters were concerned about the path for inflation, which remains stubbornly high. Figures on Wednesday showed inflation held steady at 3.8% in the year to August, double the bank's 2% target. Governor Andrew Bailey said the expectation is that inflation will return to target but that "we're not out of the woods yet, so any future cuts will need to be made gradually and carefully."

Northrop Grumman cargo ship reaches the International Space Station a day late after engine issue

SUMMARY: A supply ship has arrived at the International Space Station after a day's delay due to a premature engine shutdown. Astronauts used the space station's robot arm to pluck Northrop Grumman's Cygnus capsule from orbit Thursday as they soared over Africa. The 11,000-pound shipment should have reached the space station Wednesday, three days after blasting off from Florida. But when the capsule tried to climb higher, its main engine shut down too soon. Engineers traced the problem to an overly conservative software setting.

Strikes and protests roil France, pitting the streets against Macron and his new prime minister

SUMMARY: Protesters are hitting France with transport strikes, demonstrations and blockades, targeting the Paris Metro and other sectors. This action opposes President Emmanuel Macron's plans to cut funding for public services. Protests early Thursday in Paris and elsewhere and demonstrations were planned nationwide.

George Soros' philanthropy reaches for new ideas as it grapples with the limits of its power

SUMMARY: The family philanthropy of hedge fund billionaire George Soros has consistently been one of the largest funders of human rights organizations around the world. But what that means has changed in recent years, with a new focus on addressing inequality. Leonard Benardo is senior vice president at Open Society Foundations. He said the new emphasis comes from a recognition that inequality erodes democracy. He said the foundations continue to also support key parts of the human rights ecosystem. But that the rise of authoritarianism has forced them to grapple with the limits of what they foundations can achieve.

'Race against time' to remove rubble after recent earthquake in Afghanistan's east, says UN

SUMMARY: UN officials say aid workers are still in a "race against time" to remove rubble and rebuild after a devastating earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan east last month. The 6.0-magnitude quake was shallow, destroying or causing extensive damage to low-rise buildings. It struck late at night, killing at least 2,200 people. The United Nations Development Program said on Wednesday that satellite data shows that about 40,500 truckloads of debris still needs to be cleared from affected areas in several provinces.

Federal Reserve shows unexpected unity, independence as it weathers Trump's attacks

SUMMARY: The Federal Reserve's nearly-unanimous decision Wednesday to reduce its key interest rate was seen by many observers as a quiet show of unity and independence amid President Donald Trump's relentless pressure for steeper cuts and his unprecedented effort to fire a top Fed official. Many Fed-watchers expected a contentious two-day meeting this week, with the economy's future uncertain and a Trump appointee hastily added to the board just hours before the meeting began. Instead, just one official dissented from the Fed's decision to reduce its rate by a quarter-point.

In coastal Ghana, female oyster farmers try to save an old practice threatened by climate change

SUMMARY: In Ghana, women are struggling to sustain oyster farming, a key livelihood in coastal mangroves. Hundreds of women were trained in farming methods for oysters, including mangrove planting and preservation, and selective oyster harvesting, to lessen the impact of climate change. But U.S. aid cuts ended one such program, run by the Development Action Association that trained women in eco-friendly practises. Despite this, efforts to protect mangroves are showing results even as mangrove depletion forces farmers to dive deeper for oysters.

Republican leaders reject Democratic health care demands for bill to avoid shutdown

SUMMARY: Republican leaders in the House and Senate are rejecting Democratic demands for health care subsidies in a bill to avoid a government shutdown. Republican Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Democrats "have a choice to make" as the Sept. 30 deadline approaches.

If the government does shut down on Oct. 1, most federal agencies will close and millions of federal employees won't receive paychecks. Republicans are proposing a bill to keep federal agencies funded through Nov. 21.

Move over, green lawns. Drier, warmer climate boosts interest in low-water landscaping

SUMMARY: America loves its green lawns. Roughly one-third of water used in U.S. homes is used outdoors, with much of that going to irrigate landscaping dominated by grass. But prolonged drought in Western states has challenged ideas about the "ideal" outdoor aesthetic. Some people are turning to xeriscaping, a term for low-water gardening that often depends on using native and drought-tolerant plants. Reducing lawn irrigation not only cuts water. It also can mean less pesticide and fertilizer washing into waterways. And replacing grass with native plants improves habitat for birds, butterflies and insects that are all critical to our food web.

Federal Reserve cuts key rate for first time this year

The move is the Fed's first cut since December and lowered its short-term rate to about 4.1%, down from 4.3%. Fed officials, led by Chair Jerome Powell, had kept their rate unchanged this year as they evaluated the impact of tariffs, tighter immigration enforcement, and other Trump administration policies on inflation and the economy. The only dissenter was Stephen Miran, the recent Trump-appointee.

What the Fed rate cut will mean for your finances

SUMMARY: The Federal Reserve has cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in nine months. Since the last cut, progress on inflation has slowed while the labor market has cooled and Wall Street has rallied. That means Americans are dealing with both high prices and a challenging job market. The federal funds rate, set by the Federal Reserve, is the rate at which banks borrow and lend to one another. The rates that consumers pay to borrow money aren't directly linked to this rate. But shifts in Fed policy affect what people pay for credit cards, auto loans, mortgages, and other financial products.
