German consumer sentiment is expected to tumble in the last month of the year, breaking a streak of increases as households, confronted by reports of job cuts, grow more pessimistic about their income prospects, a survey showed on Wednesday. The consumer sentiment index, published by GfK and the Nuremberg Institute for Market Decisions (NIM), fell significantly more than expected going into December, to -23.3 points from a slightly revised down -18.4 points the month before. The December figure marks the lowest point for consumer sentiment since May, when it was -24 points, and is similar to the comparatively low level seen at the end of last year.

The lower court at the European Court of Justice has dismissed an attempt by Russia's Nord Stream 2 to contest the EU's unbundling rules on gas transmission pipelines, the court said in a statement on Wednesday. In 2019, the EU amended its gas directive to extend its rules to third country gas pipelines. "Those rules provide, in particular, for the unbundling of transmission systems from those of production and supply, as well as for third party access to transmission systems," the court said in a statement.

BEIRUT (Reuters) -A ceasefire between Israel and Lebanese armed group Hezbollah came into effect on Wednesday after both sides accepted an agreement brokered by the U.S. and France, a rare victory for diplomacy in a region wracked by two wars for over a year. Lebanon's army, which is tasked with helping to ensure the ceasefire holds, said it was preparing to deploy to the south of the country. The military asked that residents of border villages delay returning home until the Israeli military, which has waged war against Iran-backed Hezbollah on several occasions and pushed around 6 km (4 miles) into Lebanon, withdraws.

If it tries to rebuild terrorist infrastructure near the border, we will attack. If it launches a rocket, if it digs a tunnel, if it brings in a truck carrying rockets, we will attack.” Credit: Nafiseh Kohnavard via Storyful
