LONDON, Nov 5 (Reuters) - The Bank of England raised interest rates for the first time in over three years on Thursday and warned that at least one more increase was likely if the US-Iran conflict continues, as it started on a path that its main peers have already embarked on.
British inflation is likely to reach around 5% in the middle of next year, the BoE said, more than double the central bank's target and a blow for new Prime Minister Andy Burnham who has sought to ease cost of living pressures.
While there was little evidence so far of faster inflation outside sectors directly affected by higher energy costs, the BoE said the amount of inflation pressure coming down the road from months of high energy prices required a rate rise now.
"Today's increase shouldn't be seen as the first in an inevitable long sequence of hikes. But unless the conflict in the Middle East is resolved, neither does it seem likely to be the last increase," Governor Andrew Bailey said.

Bill Ackman says Pershing Square (NYSE:PS) owns about 10% of both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and sees 10x potential in the stocks.
Ackman calls a release "a political imperative" and says a president can do it by executive order, even if midterms go against the President.
Taxpayers get paid first: Treasury's senior preferred stake carries a $238 billion liquidation preference, and warrants cover 80% of common stock.

The Motley Fool's report of Pershing Square's third-quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Nov. 3 noted he estimated the move would create half a trillion dollars of value, 80% of it held by taxpayers. He called that estimate conservative.

One in 4 Americans think that Medicare is free for everyone, according to new data from Allianz.
The problem is, that's not true.
The research exposed three more things folks get wrong about how Medicare works.
More than a third of Americans believe Medicare covers long-term care. It does not.
More than 1 in 3 say Medicare is guaranteed to be available when you retire, and more than 4 in 10 think it covers prescription drugs.

Silver prices could be approaching their final low, according to veteran trader Peter Brandt. However, he expects any subsequent recovery to be gradual rather than explosive.
The precious metal traded at $53.18 per ounce on Thursday, up 1.76% on the day. That still leaves it about 56% below its January record of $121.74.
On X, Brandt said two versions of his chart, weekly and daily, both show a falling wedge.
The pattern forms when prices slide between two downward-sloping lines that slowly converge. Chart **** ysts often read it as a sign that selling pressure is fading.

Investors are worried. CNN's Fear and Greed Index is at "extreme fear." Inflation remains persistently high, with the ongoing Iran war and tariffs not helping matters. Stock market valuations are frothy by most metrics.
In times of uncertainty, many investors look to safe havens. Utility stocks rank high on the list. But if the stock market crashes, will utility stocks really protect your portfolio?
Missed AI's "Act 1"? Act 2 Could Be 16x Bigger. Most investors think they missed the AI boat because they didn't buy Nvidia in 2005. But according to our ***** ysts, we're only at the end of "Act 1"—the R&D phase. "Act 2" is the global rollout. Continue »
Arguments for buying utility stocks as a defensive portfolio move make sense. Consumers don't stop using electricity, natural gas, or water during an economic downturn or stock market sell-off.
There's also historical precedent for utility stocks protecting against a market crash. For example, the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) sank almost 50% from its peak in early 2000 by October 2002 when the dot-com bubble burst. The Nasdaq-100 index plunged more than 80%. Meanwhile, shares of NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) and The Southern Company (NYSE: SO), both large electric utility providers, jumped more than 20% during the same period.

Meghan Markle reportedly despises the feeling of "begging for acceptance" from the royal family. The report comes amid the speculation surrounding the ***** ss of Sussex and her husband Prince Harry's relationship with the senior members of the institution, following their return to Britain. Now, according to a new report, a source claimed that Markle has been perceiving that Kate Middleton and Prince William have control over the public conversation. And, it has reportedly been getting quite frustrating for her.
The alleged feeling of inferiority with respect to the royal family has reportedly not been sitting well with Meghan Markle. As reported by Heatworld, a source revealed that Kate Middleton has been "hoping the brothers can somehow work it out. She'll always have a soft spot for Harry and would love him back in the fold." This comes despite the Waleses' dignified silence regarding the Sussexes since their return to the UK.
However, according to the source, the Princess of Wales is aware that she has to handle the situation "tactfully" with her husband, Prince William. Per the source, however, she refuses to give up the hope that the two allegedly estranged brothers can reconcile one day.
Per the news outlet, the insider further claimed that Markle "can't stand the feeling that the royal family has the upper hand – and hates the idea of being portrayed as desperately trying to claw their way back in, only to be repeatedly rejected." According to the insider, "It's like they're begging for acceptance from people who have no intention of giving it."
Furthermore, the source also explained to the publication what Markle has been feeling about the entire situation and what she might do. According to the source, "There's a defiant side to Meghan." The ***** ss of Sussex will "do what she wants and won't allow the royals to determine or stop her happiness or success," the source added.

Meghan Markle is reportedly "questioning" whether the Sussexes' U.K. move was the right choice. Fans are aware that Prince Harry and Meghan moved to the U.K. on August 26 and intend to stay in the country for an extended period of time. However, the couple hasn't exactly received the warm welcome they were seemingly hoping to get. This has reportedly led to friction between Harry and Meghan.
Meghan Markle reportedly wishes to spend more time in the U.S., while her husband, Prince Harry, wants to stay in the U.K. longer. According to a report by Closer, almost three months later, the Suits alum is debating her decision to move to the U.K.
The ****** ss of Sussex did not enjoy her stay in Britain when she got married to the Duke. It seems like nothing much has changed, and she is "terrified" that she's in for another round of misery. "Then there's the uncertainty over how things are going to go with the royals and the British public. Meghan is understandably pretty anxious about that and already wondering if this was a mistake," the source added.
The Sussexes were seemingly trying to make inroads with the royal family when King Charles made an important announcement. The monarch released a statement via Lord Chamberlain, ****** erting that the Sussexes remain private citizens. Harry and Meghan cannot use royal ****** les (HRH) or participate in royal engagements.
The Sussexes released a statement stating that they "were a little surprised not to have been told about this in advance." The actress is reportedly hurt that there has been no acknowledgement of them from the royal family. It is quite "hurtful" because one positive word would silence their critics. On top of that, the bills are piling up for them, and the expenses are only increasing.

Herbert Blomstedt, who headed the San Francisco Symphony from 1985-95 and led orchestras in Scandinavia and Germany during a career over seven decades, died Wednesday. He was 99.
Blomstedt died at his home in Gothenburg, Sweden, according to his management agency, KünstlerSekretariat am Gasteig.
His final performance was on May 15 with the San Francisco Symphony at Davies Hall, when he entered the stage in a wheelchair and struggled to get through Gustav Mahler's Ninth Symphony, which halted for several minutes during the third movement.

John Frieda, the celebrity hairstylist whose eponymous product range — its beloved Frizz Ease serum, especially — proved a commercial sensation, has died aged 75.
The British entrepreneur, who counted Madonna and Princess Diana among his clients, died "peacefully" and "surrounded by his family," according to a statement posted to his Instagram by his London salon on Wednesday.
"His talent and passion touched so many, and his legacy will live on in every single one of us," the statement added, describing Frieda as "a true icon of the hair industry." His stepdaughter Agnelli Lagrange also confirmed the news on social media, where she called him "the best man to ever exist." Neither statement specified a cause of death.
The son of a hairdresser (and the grandson of a barber), Frieda was born Alan Howard Frieda in London in 1951. He started going by the name John after joining London's famous House of Leonard, because the salon already employed an Alan.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have had a successful visit to Antigua and Barbuda, following on from His Majesty's solo visits to the Bahamas and Guyana. On Thursday they will be touching down on UK soil, just in time for Bonfire Night. However, it may not be a big celebration in the royal household, and that's because of this one reason…
The royal couple have two dogs, Bluebell, a rescue Jack Russell Terrier adopted by Camilla from the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in 2012 and Moley, a part Jack Russell Terrier adopted from the same place in 2025.

It is well known that dogs can struggle with the loud bangs that come with fireworks, and are often unsettled during this time of year. Plus, the Jack Russell breed in particular, being a non-hunting breed, is said to not cope well with the sounds. So, Charles and Camilla may be spending their post-travel evening comforting their pooches if they aren't happy.
Advice on the Battersea Dogs Home website includes playing classical music to soothe and calm your pet, giving them a long-lasting chew to keep them distracted and also drawing the curtains to block out the light from fireworks.

Rihanna has dressed her kids in matching Savage x Fenty PJs, and the cozy photos are already winning hearts. Set against a starry sky and a snowy backdrop, the striped looks give the campaign a dreamy, bedtime feel. What makes the campaign even more memorable is that the tiny pieces are exclusive to three little models, with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky's kids, clearly stealing the spotlight.
Savage x Fenty shared the images on Instagram with a playful caption. It credited the "Sweet Satin Dream" to Rihanna "and the gang." It then added a note: "The tiny satins are exclusive to RZA, Riot, and Rocki."
The campaign marks a first of sorts, as it is the singer's first photo shoot with all three of her children. Her sons, RZA and Riot, are four and three years old, respectively. Her daughter Rocki is the youngest and is one year old.
The photos also promote the brand's collection of holiday-themed onesies. The styling of the campaign is soft and cohesive. Rihanna wears pale pink and deep burgundy striped satin pajamas, with a matching striped sleep mask pushed up on her head. Her children wear the same print in smaller sizes. The baby's set has a ruffled, romper-style cut, while the older two wear ****** on-up tops and trousers.
The set is designed around a nursery with pictures showing a deep blue, star-dotted backdrop, a large paper penguin and a hot-air balloon carrying a bunny. Rihanna and the kids lie on patchwork quilts and fluffy white snow that cover the floor.

LONDON (AP) — World leaders who have sparred with the "America first" President Donald Trump greeted the rout of his Republican Party in the U.S. midterm elections with a measure of relief Wednesday, allowing themselves to hope for a less combative U.S. foreign policy.
But that hope was seasoned with the expectation that American voters' rebuke would not necessarily end the U.S. conflict with Iran or change Trump's policies on tariffs or his lukewarm-at-best support for Ukraine and America's European allies.
Progressive politicians cast the results as part of a trend of liberal comebacks around the world, following recent defeats for populists on the right in Hungary, Brazil and Serbia.
Spain's social democratic Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez wrote on X that Americans had voted "Against hate. Against machismo. Against climate denialism and against the privileges of the elites."
"It happened in Brazil. It just happened in the US. And it will happen soon in Spain," wrote Sánchez, who faces an election Nov. 29.

I've been writing about Social Security for well over a decade. And I've found that there's a lot of misinformation about the program and how it works.
Some people, for example, think all Americans are entitled to Social Security once they reach a certain age and that everyone receives the same monthly benefit. In reality, Social Security benefits are earned by paying taxes on wages. And the amount of Social Security you get in retirement depends on your earnings history and your filing age.

Another big Social Security myth I hear all too often is that it's more than feasible to retire on those monthly benefits alone. I'm here to tell you that if you go that route, you might sorely regret it.

Dafne Keen says she was offered cocaine at wrap parties as a child. The actor was around 11 to 13 and says she refused. During a recent podcast appearance, Keen explained that seeing adults drink and use drugs helped her avoid both.
Dafne Keen, now 21, discussed her choices during an appearance on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast. She told the host that she has "never been drunk enough to even have a hangover," describing herself as a "control freak" about drinking. Seeing that culture as a child made her wary of trying it herself.
When Rosenbaum asked about the drinking she had witnessed, Keen revealed that she was "getting offered ****** e at wrap parties." She said she turned it down, and joked that she was not getting involved at such a young age. Rosenbaum reacted with surprise at the idea of a child encountering drugs so early. "11 or 12? Man, I didn't start that early," he said.
Staying sober has not stopped Keen from enjoying nights out, she explained. She likes music, dancing and spending time with people, and said she can stay out until 6 a.m. without drinking or taking anything.
The actress described herself as a fun time and said she simply does not need substances to enjoy herself. As a teenager, she sometimes claimed she was already high to avoid pressure from others. In reality, she said, she would be drinking soda and pretending to be high.

Kate Middleton has reportedly had enough of the friction with Queen Camilla. While observers have long speculated that Prince William and Kate maintain reservations regarding Camilla's history within the family, the Prince and Princess of Wales have historically maintained a cordial public relationship with the Queen. A new report claims that dynamic has shifted, with Middleton reaching her limit as behind-the-scenes tensions escalate into an outright royal standoff.
Kate Middleton is reportedly gearing up for a fresh battle against Queen Camilla and appears unwilling to back down. Although Kate and Camilla stood together at a state banquet held in honour of the Sultan of Oman last week, it seems that things are not quite as they appear.
According to a latest report by Heat World, William and Kate have started increasing their public appearances and their willingness to be photographed. This is reportedly not going down well with Camilla, who is starting to feel the heat.
A source attached to the outlet revealed that the Queen is very nervous about what the future holds for her when William and Kate take over the crown. This has seemingly led to explosive tensions with King Charles, who has found himself stuck between his wife and son.
Camilla feels that William and Kate have been too eager to step in and take charge of the royal throne. The Queen Consort worries that they are looking to push her out. The source also claimed that Camilla believes Kate has deliberately excluded her from meetings, limiting her involvement in royal decisions.

Mckenna Grace has been bringing some serious glamor to her latest press appearances. The actress stepped out in a striking gold ensemble while promoting "The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping" in Spain. Her appearance on the Spanish television show "La Revuelta" was all about making a statement. She wore a daring outfit that perfectly complemented the occasion, featuring a micro minidress with a slit and a cutout.
For the appearance, McKenna Grace wore a stunning Sau Lee Caspian Jacquard Print Dress that combined a body-hugging silhouette with several eye-catching details. The metallic gold micro minidress featured a textured jacquard finish. This shimmered under the studio lights, giving the outfit a luxurious appearance.
However, the most striking feature was the massive cutout across the chest. The dress featured a halter-style neckline that wrapped around her neck before opening into a dramatic asymmetrical cutout. A small slit along one side of the skirt added another playful detail. This allowed the minidress to reveal even more of her legs as she moved around the television set.
Grace paired the gold number with sheer black tights and glossy black pointed-toe heels. The darker accessories created a striking contrast against the shimmering fabric while keeping the attention on the dress. Her blonde hair was styled into a sleek, low ponytail with a neat side part. She completed the look with gold-toned statement earrings from Sonia Petroff, which complemented the metallic finish of the outfit.
The Sau Lee dress also seemed particularly fitting for her upcoming film. Its rich golden color and textured appearance subtly echoed the extravagant fashion **** ociated with the Capitol in "The Hunger Games" universe. While the outfit was not presented as a direct reference to the franchise, its dramatic silhouette felt appropriate for the dystopian world.

Chris Sullivan shocked former "This Is Us" co-stars Mandy Moore and Sterling K. Brown with a confession about his "biggest" role to date: the GEICO "Hump Day" camel.
During Tuesday's episode of the "That Was Us" podcast, Sullivan told his co-hosts that the insurance company had decided to bring back his commercial, in which he voiced a camel declaring it's "Hump Day" over and over again.
"They brought my commercial, back by the way. Hump Day," he noted after Wednesday being called "Hump Day" was mentioned by his peers.
"What?" a genuinely confused Moore asked, prompting Sullivan to say, "You know I'm the GEICO camel?"
"You're what? You're the GEICO camel?" the "Candy" singer responded in disbelief. At this moment, Brown admitted this was news to him too, noting, "You know what? I don't think I knew that either, but like now that you say it."

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry might spend their Christmas in the UK. According to a report, the Sussexes' holiday plans are seemingly still unconfirmed. Earlier, it was reported that they would fly to Montecito, California, to spend Christmas with Markle's mother, Doria Ragland. Now, Prince Harry and his family might not leave, but stay and celebrate in Britain after eight years.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Christmas plans allegedly include Doria Ragland but not California. A **** o! Magazine report recently claimed the Sussexes would celebrate the holidays with Markle's mother. However, they might not fly to Montecito as originally reported.
Furthermore, the outlet suggested Markle would be busy with her brand this festive season. The As Ever's holiday collection seemed to be her priority, and royal fans would reportedly be expecting the Sussexes' Christmas card reveal. Although their plan seemed to be unconfirmed, one thing is said to be sure: they won't celebrate the holidays with the royal family.
Despite staying in the UK, Markle and Harry might not spend their Christmas at a royal event. Earlier, a Closer report claimed the Duke allegedly tried to convince his wife to join King Charles' celebration if invited. But Markle won't reportedly "budge," according to a source. They said, "She cannot bear the idea of struggling through a phony Christmas with the royal family. She's going home, and Harry has agreed to it to make her happy – but he did it with a heavy heart."
Meanwhile, another report by The Times (via **** o!) claimed the royal family might not even invite the Sussexes. "How could that even work? They know it would be too awkward and too difficult. They also know they're not going to be invited, and they're not waiting for an invitation," an insider stated.

Vin Burnham has made a name for herself as a costume designer behind some big Hollywood blockbusters and hits on both the stage and screen.
And her decades-long career has seen her collect a rich seam of stories, including the time she nearly accidentally delayed the filming of a Batman movie.
Burnham helped create the iconic Batsuit worn by Michael Keaton in Tim Burton's Batman, which she later refined for the sequel Batman Returns.
On the very first day of filming Batman, she said she was in the dressing room getting the cowl ready when she mistakenly put her thumb through the front of it.
"There was only one and that is a complete crime," Burnham added.

Prince William and Prince Harry have each paid a tribute to Princess Diana, though not side by side. Both brothers backed their late mother's charity with personal messages to the winners of The Diana Award, while also extending her legacy through the causes they champion. Their separate letters, however, say plenty about the ongoing feud between the two.
According to People, the Prince of Wales, 44, and the Duke of Sussex, 42, wrote congratulatory letters to the newest winners of The Diana Award. The letters, however, went out separately. Each of the 198 recipients, drawn from 44 countries, received one from each prince.
According to the charity, the winners were recognised for creating "positive change in their communities and beyond." Dr. Tessy Ojo CBE, the charity's chief executive, also praised the group. "These young people are proof that, whatever their background or circumstances, the desire to make a difference is universal," she said.
However, reports from Page Six suggest that the common gesture does not appear to signal a thaw. The brothers last appeared together at a public engagement in July 2021, when they unveiled a statue of Diana at Kensington Palace on what would have been her 60th birthday. Since then, they have seemed distant at Queen Elizabeth II's funeral and at a 2024 memorial service for their uncle.
While they are now in the same country again, they are not believed to be in contact. Harry has spoken about the rift. "I want it to work out. Of course I do," he said, while also admitting that reconciling is hard. The escalation of tensions can be traced to 2020, when Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as senior working royals.

The queen of Spain makes outfit repeating look so good. Today, Queen Letizia attended the 30th Ibero-American Summit 2026 held at the Royal Collections Gallery in Madrid, Spain, and for the occasion, she brought out a favorite dress of hers: a one-shoulder midi from Madrid-based brand Delpozo.
The navy dress with a bare shoulder, midi sleeves, and a pencil detail has the most elegant silhouette—one which is made even more chic by the large rosette that adorns the covered shoulder.
Letizia, who regularly supports the Spanish heritage label, has pulled the dress out several times before, including to the 50th anniversary celebration of Spanish sports newspaper AS in 2017, on a trip to Paris in 2018, and for the Princesa de Asturias Awards in 2020, at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dafne Keen revealed she was offered cocaine at Hollywood wrap parties when she was just 11.
On the Nov. 3 episode of the "Inside of You" podcast, the "Logan" star, now 21, shared that she has never been "drunk enough" to have a hangover because of what she witnessed from the Los Angeles party scene as a child actress.
"I'm such a control freak with that because also I think as a child actor I witnessed so much of that as a child that I just had no interest," she said. "I was getting offered ******* e at wrap parties. Like, tiny. Like 11, 12, 13. So I saw what that was, so I was like, 'I don't really have any interest in that.'"
She emphasized that she was "saying no, fortunately."
As a teenager, the "His Dark Materials" actress said she would lie and tell people she wasn't sober so she wouldn't get peer pressured. "I'd be like, 'Nah, I'm good. I don't wanna drink. I already took something.' Dead sober. Like, the goodest goody-two-shoes ever."

On the Equity Mates podcast recently, Bill Ackman shared a story of the time he had dinner with Warren Buffett. Ackman said he offered Buffett water, but he turned it down for a Cherry **** e. Buffett said, "Bill, I haven't had water in 48 years." The dinner was years ago, but the story only went viral when Ackman mentioned it on the podcast. And we know this wasn't some newfound love Buffett had for **** e. His company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A), built its stake in Coca-Cola (KO) between 1988 and 1994 for about $1.3 billion. Coca-Cola has split its stock since then, so that stake is now 400 million shares.
Coca-Cola pays $0.53 a share in dividends each quarter, or $2.12 a year. This means Berkshire gets paid roughly $848 million a year for its investment. That's about 65% of what Berkshire originally paid, coming back in a single year. And since Coca-Cola raises its dividend every year, that number keeps growing. Back in 1994, the same shares paid Berkshire about $75 million a year, not even one-tenth of what it earns today. At around $96 a share, the stake is now worth approximately $38.4 billion. Berkshire still holds the entire stake, and its CEO, Greg Abel, called Coca-Cola one of four core holdings.

Uber (NYSE: UBER) founder Travis Kalanick moved to Austin by December 18, as billionaire departures removed an estimated $1.1 trillion from California's prospective tax base.
Prop. 42, leading with 54.6%, would ban new California taxes on wealth and investment accounts, shielding 401(k)s and IRAs from future wealth tax expansion.
Building a portfolio and living off one are two completely different skills, and almost ***** ody teaches the second. This problem is what The Definitive Guide to Retirement Income helps, and it is free today. Read more here. (Sponsor)
California voters rejected the billionaire tax on Tuesday by a wide margin. Election-night returns counted by The Center Square showed Prop. 40 losing 56.5% to 43.5%, with 68.5% of precincts partially reporting. According to The Center Square, the measure would have imposed a one-time 5% tax on residents with wealth of $1 billion or more. News outlets widely reported its defeat.
If you have a 401(k), an IRA or a brokerage account, the result that matters more to you is a different one. Prop. 42 would ban new state taxes on wealth, investment accounts and personal property. In The Center Square's count, it was leading with 54.6% of the vote.
