MILAN (Reuters) -Italy's UniCredit on Monday launched a surprise 10 billion euro ($11 billion) all-share offer for smaller domestic peer Banco BPM - one that comes as it also pursues a contentious deal for Germany's Commerzbank. The proposal, which offers 0.5% premium for Banco BPM shareholders, is not the first time UniCredit has set its sights on its rival with roots in Milan's wealthy Lombardy region, an area where UniCredit's presence is limited. "With this acquisition of one of our historical targets, we reinforce our position in Italy," UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel, a veteran dealmaker who has led the bank since 2021, said in a statement.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -A Malaysian court ordered the government on Monday to return rainbow-coloured watches and accessories made by Swatch Group that were seized last year for designs celebrating LGBTQ rights, a prosecutor told Reuters.

In a strongly-worded video message addressing the nation, Marcos did not name Vice President Sara Duterte, his presidential running mate, but said "such criminal plans should not be overlooked." In a dramatic twist in the fierce spat between Marcos and the powerful Duterte family, the daughter of firebrand former President Rodrigo Duterte on Saturday said she had instructed an assassin to kill Marcos, his wife and the lower house speaker, in the event that she were killed.

STORY: :: Delegates from 175 countries meet in South Korea to make a deal to tackle plastic pollution:: Busan, South Korea:: November 25, 2024:: Inger Andersen, Executive Director, UN Environment Programme"The world wants an end to plastic pollution. The world needs an end to plastic pollution. And I ask you to deliver this instrument this week that puts us on the road for just that, for thousands of days, months and years to come.":: Graham Forbes, Greenpeace delegation head, Global Plastics Treaty negotiations"As the world gathers for this critical phase of the Global Plastics Treaty negotiations, Greenpeace reminds governments that the eyes of the world are on you. The decisions made here will determine whether we confront the plastics crisis with the ambition it demands or allow the fossil fuel and petrochemical interests to derail progress. The science is clear. Without urgent action plastic production will triple by 2050, further fuelling the climate crisis, polluting ecosystems, and endangering human health. A weak treaty is a failed treaty."At the plenary session of the talks, the chair of the Intergovernmental Negotiating Committee (INC) Luis Vayas Valdivieso said that the amount of plastic entering the environment annually by 2040 is expected to nearly double compared to 2022, if no significant intervention is made.“We aim to achieve what I dare to call a historic milestone,” said Valdivieso, despite the previous round of talks in Ottawa in April ending without a path forward on capping plastic production and the U.S.’ position on issues uncertain with the election of Donald Trump as president.Meanwhile, activists from environmental campaign group Greenpeace held up anti-plastics signs in front of a huge 'eye' flag - composed of thousands of supporters' portraits - near Busan Exhibition and Convention Centre (BEXCO) where the talks are taking place. "Greenpeace reminds governments that the eyes of the world are on you," said Graham Forbes, the group's global plastic campaign lead.
