STORY: The latest novel from Nobel-winning author Gabriel Garcia Marquez has just been published a decade after he died and apparently against his wishes.Garcia Marquez's work helped make Latin American 'magical realism' popular, where a storyteller drops fantastical elements into a realistic setting.And before his death in 2014 at the age of 87, he said his novel 'Until August' was “useless” and should be destroyed. However, his sons and literary agents reviewed a number of the manuscripts and decided they had a literary value that may not have been perceived by the author in the last few years of his life – which were tainted by memory loss.Rodrigo Garcia is the author's son:“there would be much easier and much less controversial ways to make money. But this is what it is and these are the risks you take when you have the responsibility of such a literary collection. And the truth is, we like the book, we think it is worth reading. So, although it hasn't been easy, we have no regrets."'Until August' was released in Spanish on Garcia’s Marquez’ birthday March 6 and on March 12 in Englishh according to publisher, Penguin Random House.The book tells the story of Ana Magdalena Bach, who every August, takes a ferry to an island to visit her mother's grave and there takes a new lover every night.Rodrigo Garcia:"Were we betraying him? Yes, we did betray him. But, you know, we we we we also betrayed, you know, a person who had lost his faculties and had lost the ability to judge the book."His sons say that the book still carries their father’s recognizably beautiful prose and his deep understanding of human nature.Gabriel Marquez is best known for “One Hundred Years of Solitude”, a dream-like epic that won him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.

Consumer goods giant Unilever is set to cut as many as 7,500 jobs, “predominantly” in London ,as its new CEO brings in a massive restructuring program after warning that the Cornetto-to-Dove behemoth’s 2023 results were disappointing. Japan’s first interest rate hike in 17 years failed to derail the Nikkei 225 today, with Tokyo’s leading benchmark 0.7% higher by the close. The Bank of Japan’s change in short-term rate to between zero and 0.1% ended eight years in negative territory, a move widely predicted by economists.
The Swiss National Bank (SNB) on Tuesday said more action needed to be taken on capital regulation following Credit Suisse's collapse and takeover by UBS a year ago. In its annual report, the SNB said bank financing needed to be "considerably strengthened" through liquidity regulations as Switzerland grapples with the question of how to ensure that the enlarged UBS does not run into trouble itself in future. "In particular, the SNB recognises a need for action in the areas of early intervention, capital and liquidity requirements, and resolution planning," it said the report.

STORY: Joe Biden had his first phone call with Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu in two months on Monday where he told him an Israeli operation in Rafah would deepen anarchy in Gaza. Tensions have risen between Israel and the US, its top ally, over Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza. US National Security advisor Jake Sullivan said later that Biden told Netanyahu Israel needed a coherent strategy rather than to smash its way into the war-torn enclave. “A major ground operation there would be a mistake. It would lead to more innocent civilian deaths, worsen the already dire humanitarian crisis, deepen the anarchy in Gaza, and further isolate Israel internationally." On Sunday, Netanyahu had reaffirmed his pledged to push into Rafah, in Gaza’s southern tip where more than half of the territory's 2.3 million residents have been sheltering to escape fighting farther north. However after Biden’s call, the White House said Israel agreed to send teams to Washington to discuss the way forward and would not proceed with a Rafah operation before the talks happened this week or the next. Meanwhile, Israel claims it killed 20 militants in a deadly clash at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City early Monday. In video from Israeli forces, Israeli soldiers could be seen firing their weapons and moving into the compound. Gunshots and explosions were heard in eyewitness footage of the raid, which Israel says also resulted in the death of a top Hamas operative. Israel says ‘more than 200 terrorist suspects’ were apprehended in Al-Shifa. Gaza’s Hamas-run health ministry said the Israeli raid led to multiple casualties and set off a fire in one of the buildings. Fighting in Gaza continues to take a toll on civilians, cutting off food supplies for thousands. A UN-backed monitor the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification, or IPC, said Monday around half of Gaza’s population or 1.1 million people were facing “catastrophic” shortages of food. And around 300,000 people there now face the prospect of famine-scale death rates.
STORY: Japan's central bank ended eight years of negative interest rates on Tuesday, ringing in a new era of monetary policy in the country.It's the first rate hike in 17 years...But the Bank of Japan is keeping rates around zero, moving cautiously amid the country's fragile economic recovery.Japan is aiming to shift away from a focus on reflating growth with decades of massive monetary stimulus, so the decision was widely expected.Tokyo's central bank is the last in the world to exit negative rates, ending a time where global policymakers used cheap money and unconventional monetary tools to try to prop up growth.The BOJ on Tuesday also scrapped a policy aimed at capping long-term interest rates around zero, known as yield curve control.Though the bank said it will keep buying "broadly the same amount" of government bonds as before and ramp up purchases, in case yields rise rapidly.A spike in bond yields would make funding Japan's huge public debt more expensive.The country's public debt is already twice the size of its GDP and the largest among advanced economies.Analysts say Tuesday's announcement will have a very small actual impact on the economy. The central bank is expected to keep monetary conditions loose.And no major hike in household mortgage rates or funding costs are expected. But an end to the world's last remaining provider of cheap funds could jolt global financial markets.After amassing overseas investments in search of yields, Japanese investors may now look to shift money back to their home country.
