La Juventus è in crisi totale. Il Genoa domina al Ferraris e vince 2-0 grazie ai gol di Ehizibue e Baldanzi. I bianconeri non entrano praticamente mai in partita, traditi dagli errori di Cambiaso e Kalulu, da un centrocampo che continua a non funzionare e da un attacco inesistente. Per Luciano Spalletti tornano tutti i fantasmi: la zona Champions si allontana e la luce in fondo al tunnel, per ora, non si vede.
La Juventus è in crisi nera. E, a giudicare da quello che si è visto al Ferraris, la luce in fondo al tunnel sembra ancora lontanissima. Il problema non è soltanto la sconfitta per 2-0 contro il Genoa, ma la prestazione di una squadra che non ha quasi mai dato l’impressione di poter mettere in difficoltà gli avversari. Daniele De Rossi ha dominato l’amico Luciano Spalletti, con i rossoblù più organizzati, aggressivi e soprattutto convinti di quello che stavano facendo. La Juve, invece, è sembrata una squadra senza capo né coda. Una formazione che fatica a difendere, non riesce a costruire gioco e davanti combina pochissimo. E quando tutti e tre i reparti non funzionano, diventa difficile pensare che basti cambiare qualche interprete per rimettere in piedi la stagione.
A Genova, poi, ci si sono messi anche i singoli. Cambiaso e Kalulu hanno disputato una partita da dimenticare, diventando protagonisti in negativo delle due reti rossoblù. Al 12′ Baldanzi arriva sul fondo e serve un pallone rasoterra per Ehizibue, che calcia di prima intenzione. Cambiaso prova a intervenire, ma la sua deviazione finisce per mettere fuori causa Vicario, regalando al Genoa il vantaggio. La Juventus non reagisce e il raddoppio arriva al 29′. Stavolta a sbagliare è Kalulu, che gestisce malissimo un pallone recuperato dopo un calcio d’angolo bianconero. Vitinha ne approfitta e si presenta in area, trovando prima la respinta della difesa e poi il pallone sul quale si avventa Baldanzi, bravo a battere Vicario.
Due errori gravi, ma soprattutto due episodi che fotografano una squadra incapace di gestire anche le situazioni più semplici. E il Genoa avrebbe potuto fare ancora più male, perché per tutto il primo tempo ha trovato spazi e possibilità di ripartire contro una Juventus spesso disordinata e troppo lenta a rientrare.
Se Cambiaso e Kalulu sono i peggiori in campo, il resto della Juventus non offre molti motivi per sorridere. Il centrocampo continua a non carburare. McKennie, Douglas Luiz e Sarr non riescono a dare ritmo alla manovra, recuperano troppo poco e faticano a trovare collegamenti con gli uomini offensivi. La conseguenza è un attacco praticamente inesistente. Kolo Muani e Alajbegovic restano isolati per lunghi tratti, ricevono pochi palloni utili e raramente riescono a mettere sotto pressione la retroguardia del Genoa. La squadra di Spalletti tiene il pallone in alcune fasi, ma fatica tremendamente a trasformare il possesso in pericoli concreti. Per capire quanto sia stata complicata la serata basta guardare le occasioni costruite. Nel recupero del primo tempo Kalulu spreca l’unica vera possibilità bianconera, confermando una prestazione già compromessa dagli errori in difesa.
Nella ripresa Spalletti prova a cambiare tutto, inserendo progressivamente Woltemade, Zhegrova, Boga, Cabal e Koopmeiners. Ma la Juventus non cambia passo. Al 65′ Bremer cerca di riaprire la partita con un colpo di testa che termina sopra la traversa. Undici minuti dopo Zhegrova prova la conclusione dalla distanza, trovando la risposta di Bijlow. Sono episodi isolati, troppo poco per una squadra che deve recuperare due gol e che dovrebbe avere ben altre ambizioni. In pieno recupero Koopmeiners colpisce la traversa e il portiere del Genoa si oppone anche a Lucumí, ma il risultato non cambia.
Genoa 2, Juventus 0. Una vittoria meritata per De Rossi, che ha preparato meglio la partita e ha visto i suoi giocatori eseguire il piano con una convinzione completamente assente dall’altra parte.
A questo punto, però, bisogna andare oltre la cronaca. Perché la Juventus sta mostrando limiti che non possono più essere liquidati come semplici giornate storte. La vittoria contro il Lecce aveva dato l’illusione di una ripartenza, ma a Genova sono tornati gli stessi problemi che accompagnano i bianconeri da settimane. Spalletti continua a cercare risposte, cambia gli uomini, prova soluzioni differenti, ma il risultato è quasi sempre lo stesso. Il centrocampo non costruisce, l’attacco non c’è e la difesa concede occasioni troppo facilmente. Manca soprattutto una personalità collettiva, quella che dovrebbe permettere alla squadra di reagire quando la partita si mette male.
E qui tornano tutti i fantasmi del tecnico di Certaldo. Perché Spalletti ha le sue responsabilità, a cominciare dalla difficoltà di dare un’identità riconoscibile a questa Juventus. Ma sarebbe sbagliato pensare che basti mettere sotto accusa l’allenatore per risolvere tutto. Anche i giocatori devono rispondere di prestazioni come quella del Ferraris. Cambiaso e Kalulu sono stati disastrosi, ma quanti altri possono dire di aver giocato una partita all’altezza? Quanti hanno provato davvero a prendere in mano la squadra? Troppo pochi. E la sensazione è che il problema sia ormai più profondo del singolo errore o della scelta sbagliata di formazione.
La classifica rende tutto ancora più complicato. Dopo nove giornate, il Como quarto è distante sei punti e la corsa alla Champions League comincia già a diventare una rincorsa.
La Juventus ha bisogno di ritrovare gioco, gol e soprattutto convinzione. Spalletti deve riuscire a far funzionare una squadra che oggi sembra non avere nemmeno le basi per competere con continuità. Perché perdere a Genova può succedere. Farsi dominare senza quasi reagire, per una Juventus che punta alla Champions, è molto più difficile da giustificare.

A woman wearing a burka was escorted out of a Florida county commissioners meeting on Tuesday after playing a recording of the Islamic call to prayer during the public comment period where residents spoke against the potential expansion of a local mosque amid concerns from some over its wording on zoning and agenda materials.
The incident occurred as the Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners was listening to residents address the board. A woman covered head-to-toe in black, with only her left eye visible, and approached the podium. Rather than making a verbal statement, she activated a recording of the call to prayer.
It was not immediately clear whether the gesture was a protest or a prank.
PASTOR UNLEASHES ON DEARBORN AS RELIGIOUS TENSIONS ERUPT AT CITY COUNCIL MEETING: 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH'
The audio played for nearly a minute before Board Chairman Dave Eggers interrupted, pointing out that county rules require public speakers to deliver verbal comments rather than play recordings.
"Ma’am, you’re going to have to stop … stop the music, stop the tape," Eggers said.
When the woman refused to comply, a Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office deputy approached the podium and escorted her out of the meeting room and the building.
Her removal sparked immediate friction in the room, with several audience members shouting and arguing with Eggers over the decision.
"Please. Just please exercise some decorum and kindness of your own," Eggers told the audience. "We’re all people living together here."
He further clarified the board’s rules to the crowd.
"We don’t allow taped things," he said. "You can record the meeting, but we don’t allow taped activity like that. We ask you to come here and make comments, and that was not a comment. That’s why she was asked to step out."
The incident came during a public period where multiple residents decried an Oct. 13 vote in which the board voted 4-3 to approve a land-use amendment for the expansion of the Masjid Al Rahman mosque, which was referred to in presentations and documents as a "community assembly facility."
LAWSUIT ACCUSES DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, OF BEING 'HOSTILE TO CHRISTIANS AND JEWS' WITH ISLAMIC DISPLAYS
The vote changed the property's land use from residential rural to public and semi-public, which would allow the facility's owner to replace the building with a newer structure 1,000 feet larger.
During Tuesday's meeting, public speakers spoke out against the facility, some citing the treatment of women in Muslim-majority countries.
"It is about the big picture and the long term," one woman told the commission. "By allowing this mosque to expand in our area, you are participating in the expansion of a totalitarian ideology which is fundamentally opposed to Western American values. Expansion of the ideology of Islam is not good for women's rights."
Another woman supported the mosque: "They want to turn it to face Mecca, and they want it to look a little more like a mosque instead of a house," she said. "We have no problems with them. We've been their neighbors for many years."
Commissioner Vince Nowicki reportedly questioned why the mosque wasn't described in plain language in government documents.
"Residents read these materials to understand what is being proposed near them, and they should get the same plain description in every case, no matter the applicant," Nowicki wrote in an email to County Administrator Barry Burton, Florida Politics reported.

The Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office confirmed that the woman was escorted from the premises without further incident and will not face any criminal charges.

O Pedras Salgadas entrou melhor e, aos 8’, abriu o marcador, lançamento longo para a área, onde Romer cabeceia para defesa incompleta de Markito, com o mesmo jogador a aproveitar para colocar a bola no fundo das redes. No minuto seguinte esteve perto o segundo, mas o remate de Jorge Jesus sai ao lado. Aos 10’, o Cumieira reagiu e criou uma situação de aparente perigo, Zé Pedro, com um remate de fora da área, obriga Rafa Mateus a uma excelente defesa para canto. Já com a partida equilibrada, ambos os conjuntos criavam oportunidades de golo, mas a eficácia era nula. Aos 28’, o Cumieira esteve perto do golo, valeu mais uma boa intervenção de Rafa Mateus ao remate de Gabi. Aos 33’, de novo, Rafa Mateus evita o golo ao desviar um remate de Marinho ao poste, com Zé Pedro a não conseguir a emenda. Aos 39’, o Pedras Salgadas aproveita uma perda de bola do Cumieira e com uma saída rápida, a bola chega a Tomás Magalhães, que remata ao lado.
Logo a abrir a segunda parte, os da vila termal estiveram perto do golo, remate de Banora ao poste esquerdo da baliza de Markito. Aos 48’, Romer bisa, após um lançamento longo para a área, com o golo de cabeça. O mesmo Romer fez o “hat-trick” aos 50 minutos. Com uma vantagem confortável, o Pedras Salgadas tentou controlar a partida, sem criar ocasiões de golo. Já o Cumieira procurava o golo, mas sem grandes soluções no ataque. Aos 89’, o Pedras Salgadas eleva a contagem, cruzamento da direita de Bruno Sul para a cabeça de Hugo Alexandre, que bate Markito mais uma vez. Em cima do minuto 90, Banora alcança o quinto golo, terminando o jogo com uma goleada imposta pelo Pedras Salgadas, que segue firme na segunda posição da tabela com menos um ponto do que o Vila Real.

Labor advocates and Democratic lawmakers called on Americans to honor the legacy of the legendary union organizer Dolores Huerta, who died Wednesday at age 96, by “continuing to fight for her dream” of justice for all.
A spokesperson for Huerta’s family said she died of cancer, and her family members said they would share plans “to recognize and celebrate her incredible life and legacy” at a later date.
“We know that many of you around the world share in our mourning,” said her family, including her 13 children who survive her.
Huerta became a hero to workers across the world in the 1960s when she joined Cesar Chavez to establish the National Farm Workers Association, which became known as the United Farm Workers in 1972.
She helped lead a strike by Filipino workers in the grape-growing industry in Southern California, as well as boycotts of companies that paid migrant workers low wages, while exposing them to toxic chemicals and providing no job security.
Huerta faced violence by strikebreakers and police, 22 arrests for her nonviolent protests, and surveillance by the FBI, which suspected her and Chavez of Communist ties—but nevertheless organized one of the most successful produce boycotts in US history in 1968, garnering support from 17 million households and thousands of grocery stores that pledged not to purchase California table grapes due to growers’ abuse of workers.
Dolores Huerta has passed away from cancer at 96. She was a founder of what became the United Farm Workers and an inspiration for generations of organizers.

The strike led by Huerta and Chavez also gained the backing of the United Auto Workers and Democratic Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, and the grape growers were forced to provide benefits to the workers the industry depended on.
“Through courage and determination, she helped change what the world saw as possible, who the world saw as deserving of rights and dignity. Every worker owes her a debt of gratitude,” said Sara Nelson, international president of the Association of Flight Attendants. “It’s a debt that we must pay forward by continuing to fight for her dream of a world where no human is exploited and no injustice is written off as someone else’s problem.”
Along with Huerta’s historic boots-on-the-ground victory for farmworkers, she pushed for the passage of one of the country’s first major farm-labor laws, the Agricultural Labor Relations Act in California, which was passed in 1975. The law gave the state’s farmworkers the right to organize unions and made them eligible for health insurance, pensions, and other benefits.
For those who pursue peace and justice around the world, we mourn the loss of Dolores Huerta. The strength of today’s labor movement would not be possible were it not for the decades-long work of Dolores. From the Delano Grape Strike of the 1960s until the very end of her life,… https://t.co/DsCq6CXLDe

She also pushed lawmakers to pass immigration reform in the 1980s and backed campaigns for voting rights, environmental justice, and LGBTQ+ rights. Her last arrest was in 2019, when she was rallying for fair pay for home health aides.
“Dolores Huerta gave us all of the empathy, care, and encouragement of a mother for workers everywhere, with a fierce love for people that fueled her principled, relentless, strategic action for results that lifted millions of workers and our families,” said Nelson. “She never gave up, she never gave in, and she fought for a better world to her last breath.”
Chavez was often viewed as the leader of the movement they led together, with Huerta serving as vice president of the United Farm Workers for nearly forty years.
But earlier this year, Huerta and other women in the movement revealed to The New York Times in a bombshell report that Chavez had sexually abused women and children as young as 12 for years.
Huerta accused Chavez of raping her at least twice in encounters that led to pregnancies. She said she did not report the assaults to police because they were hostile to their labor organizing, and said she had not been aware of his alleged abuse of minors.
“Unfortunately, he used some of his great leadership to abuse women and children,” Huerta told the Times. “I never talked about it to anybody, and the reason I didn’t is because I just didn’t want to hurt the movement.”
Huerta remained with the United Farm Workers until 1999. Three years later she established the Dolores Huerta Foundation, which leads grassroots organizing efforts to promote education equity, LGBTQ+ equality, and other causes.
She was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012 by President Barack Obama, who acknowledged at the ceremony that the rallying cry he adopted in 2008, “Sí se puede” (“Yes we can”), had originated with Huerta.
“¡Sí, se puede! is more than a chant,” said Melat Kiros, a progressive Democratic US House candidate in Colorado. “It’s a promise we must keep in her honor: that the people united can change the world.”
The European Union is reconsidering the strategic importance of its oil-refining industry as disruptions to international energy supplies and growing defence requirements force Brussels to examine whether Europe can afford further reductions in domestic fuel production.
On 28 October, the European Commission convened its first high-level dialogue with the European refining industry, bringing together energy companies, technology providers and representatives of NATO.
The meeting was chaired jointly by Energy Commissioner Dan Jørgensen and Defence and Space Commissioner Andrius Kubilius.
Its significance extends beyond the immediate increase in fuel prices associated with the conflict in the Middle East.
Brussels is confronting a longer-term problem: Europe intends to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, but its transport networks, industrial infrastructure and military forces remain substantially dependent on petroleum products.
The question is no longer simply how quickly the European economy can decarbonise. It is also how much refining capacity must be retained to guarantee essential fuel supplies during a geopolitical crisis.
Europe’s refining industry occupies an important position in the continent’s energy system.
According to figures published by the European Commission, EU refineries supply approximately 70 per cent of the jet fuel and 85 per cent of the diesel consumed in Europe.
These products are essential not only for civilian transport and logistics but also for military aviation, armoured vehicles and the movement of equipment.
Maintaining adequate production capacity therefore has implications for both economic activity and defence readiness.
Yet European refineries have faced difficult commercial conditions for years.
High energy costs, international competition and declining expectations for long-term fossil-fuel demand have complicated investment decisions.
Refineries require substantial capital expenditure to remain competitive, meet environmental requirements and adapt production processes.
Companies considering whether to modernise facilities must consequently assess the profitability of assets that may be expected to operate in a progressively decarbonising economy.
The resulting uncertainty creates a problem for governments seeking to retain strategically important industrial capabilities.
The immediate catalyst for the Commission’s initiative is the disruption to energy markets caused by the continuing conflict in the Middle East.
Interruptions to supply chains and uncertainty over maritime transport have increased concerns about the availability and cost of refined petroleum products.
Importing crude oil and importing finished fuels are not equivalent from a strategic perspective.
A country with domestic refining capacity can process available crude into the particular products required by its economy.
An economy heavily dependent on imported refined products is additionally exposed to processing capacity, transport availability and commercial decisions outside its jurisdiction.
The distinction becomes particularly relevant when governments must guarantee supplies of diesel and aviation fuel during an emergency.
European policymakers are therefore examining ways to improve output from existing facilities and strengthen the resilience of fuel supply chains.
However, the Commission has not announced a binding production target or a programme to reopen closed refineries.
The 28 October meeting represents the beginning of a policy discussion rather than the adoption of a new industrial strategy.
The participation of NATO gives the initiative a wider security dimension.
Military preparedness requires dependable access to energy products, including during periods when normal commercial supply chains are disrupted.
Aircraft, naval vessels, military logistics and ground operations cannot be reorganised around alternative energy sources at the same pace as some civilian activities.
Furthermore, the ability to sustain prolonged operations depends on reliable industrial production, storage, distribution and transport.
A refinery’s strategic importance may therefore exceed its immediate commercial profitability.
That raises difficult policy questions.
Governments may consider whether critical production facilities require targeted support, whether strategic stockpiles are sufficient and how supply arrangements should function during emergencies.
Any intervention would have to address competition rules, public financing and the risk of subsidising facilities that become commercially unviable.
Brussels has not abandoned its climate objectives.
The Commission has explicitly linked its refining discussions to the development of sustainable biofuels and synthetic fuels, commonly known as e-fuels.
These technologies offer potential alternatives for sectors where direct electrification remains technically difficult, including aviation.
However, their commercial development requires investment, suitable feedstocks, reliable energy supplies and sufficient demand.
Traditional refineries may be able to participate in this transition, although the technical requirements and economic viability vary between facilities.
Jørgensen said the Commission intended to work with industry on a roadmap that would reconcile domestic fuel production with Europe’s longer-term climate ambitions.
The challenge will be translating those objectives into investment decisions.
The initiative illustrates a wider adjustment in European economic policy.
In recent years, the EU has increasingly described industrial capacity as an element of economic security, rather than treating production solely as a commercial activity.
Semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals and defence equipment have all attracted attention because of vulnerabilities in international supply chains.
Oil refining is now entering the same discussion.
The Commission must determine how to preserve sufficient capacity for essential civilian and military requirements while continuing to encourage cleaner technologies.
Those objectives are not necessarily incompatible, but they operate over different timescales and involve different commercial incentives.
For European refiners, the central question is whether governments can provide enough regulatory and investment certainty to support modernisation.
For Brussels, it is whether the energy transition can proceed without creating new strategic dependencies.
The outcome of the dialogue will indicate how the EU intends to balance its climate commitments with the industrial demands of a less predictable security environment.

European technology policy has become the focus of a dispute over corporate lobbying after researchers documented extensive contacts between major technology companies and political decision-makers during negotiations to revise EU data-protection rules.
An investigation published on 28 October by Corporate Europe Observatory and the German transparency organisation LobbyControl alleges that leading technology companies mounted a coordinated campaign to influence European governments and legislators.
The findings come one week after EU member states agreed a negotiating position on the Digital Omnibus, a legislative package intended to simplify aspects of European data-protection, privacy and cybersecurity regulation.
The campaigners argue that the proposed changes risk weakening existing safeguards in order to accommodate the commercial requirements of artificial intelligence developers.
Ireland, which holds the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, has rejected suggestions that its handling of the legislation was improperly influenced by technology companies.
The dispute exposes a fundamental disagreement over the balance between commercial innovation and the protection of personal information.
According to LobbyControl’s investigation, non-European technology companies recorded 103 meetings with representatives of Germany’s federal government between May 2025 and September 2026.
Google accounted for 28 meetings, Microsoft 18, Amazon 16 and OpenAI 11.
Germany’s Digital Minister, Karsten Wildberger, participated in 18 meetings with representatives of major technology companies, the researchers reported.
In Ireland, the organisations identified extensive engagement involving Meta, Google and politicians ahead of the country’s assumption of the EU Council presidency in July.
Their findings indicate that Meta engaged with 41 Irish parliamentarians over the Digital Omnibus, while Google recorded 30 meetings.
The researchers also identified 655 lobbying meetings concerning the legislation involving members of the European Parliament.
According to their analysis, approximately 83 per cent represented business interests, compared with 11 per cent involving civil society organisations or trade unions.
These figures demonstrate the intensity of corporate engagement, although the existence of lobbying meetings does not, by itself, establish that particular legislative provisions were adopted because of that activity.
The legislative package forms part of a broader European Commission initiative to reduce administrative burdens and improve competitiveness.
Its provisions address several areas of digital regulation, including the General Data Protection Regulation, commonly known as GDPR.
The proposals seek to simplify compliance obligations, clarify the treatment of personal information and revise rules governing certain forms of data processing.
One particularly contentious issue concerns the use of personal data in developing and operating artificial intelligence systems.
AI developers require large quantities of information to train and improve their models. However, the collection and processing of personal information remain subject to European legal safeguards.
Technology companies have argued that regulatory complexity can discourage investment and make it more difficult for European businesses to compete internationally.
Privacy campaigners maintain that simplifying regulatory procedures must not become a mechanism for reducing substantive protections.
The disagreement concerns not merely administrative paperwork but the legal circumstances under which companies may process information relating to identifiable individuals.
Ireland occupies a particularly sensitive position in the debate.
The country hosts major European operations of several American technology companies, including Google and Meta, and has substantial economic interests in the digital sector.
At the same time, its presidency of the EU Council requires it to coordinate negotiations between member states.
According to RTÉ’s reporting on the investigation, the Irish government strongly rejected the allegation that it had weakened data safeguards in response to corporate pressure.
A presidency spokesperson emphasised that Ireland’s responsibility was to facilitate agreement between member states and that the negotiating mandate approved on 21 October enjoyed broad support.
The Council has presented the proposed changes as a means of reducing compliance costs while preserving established privacy protections.
In its official statement, the Council said its mandate retains the existing definition of personal data and introduces additional provisions governing pseudonymisation.
It also includes safeguards relating to sensitive information used for biometric verification and AI systems.
These details are significant because they demonstrate that the negotiating text contains protections alongside proposed simplifications.
Germany has also emerged as an important participant in the controversy.
The investigation points to close contact between the German government and international technology companies during discussions about the future of European digital regulation.
Berlin has supported reducing administrative restrictions that it considers obstacles to innovation and the development of competitive AI technologies.
For Germany, the issue is connected to wider concerns about industrial competitiveness, investment and Europe’s dependence on foreign technology suppliers.
Yet an unresolved question remains.
Measures designed to assist European innovators may also benefit established American companies whose extensive computing infrastructure and data resources give them advantages over smaller competitors.
Consequently, easing restrictions does not necessarily guarantee a stronger European technology industry.
The Council’s negotiating position does not make the Digital Omnibus law.
The European Parliament must establish its own position before negotiations between the institutions can determine the final legislation.
Parliamentarians will therefore have an opportunity to examine the treatment of personal data, the safeguards attached to AI development and the relationship between regulatory simplification and individual rights.
The lobbying investigation is likely to become part of that debate.
Its central political significance lies in the competing interpretations of European technological sovereignty.
For governments seeking investment, regulatory flexibility may provide an instrument for improving Europe’s international competitiveness.
For privacy organisations, the same flexibility could increase the influence of companies already dominant in global digital markets.
The outcome will help determine whether Europe’s future digital framework preserves the existing balance between commercial data use and individual protections, or establishes a different relationship between the two.
A Airbus AIR.PA manteve suas previsões para o ano inteiro e seus planos de produção nesta quarta-feira (28), após divulgar resultados mistos no terceiro trimestre, deixando os investidores atentos à possibilidade de a empresa atingir sua meta anual de entrega de aeronaves.
A maior fabricante de aviões do mundo manteve sua meta de entregar cerca de 870 aeronaves este ano, o que seria seu maior número de todos os tempos, e deixou inalteradas as metas de produção. Ela precisará de um quarto trimestre recorde para atingir essa marca.
“Todos estarão de olho para ver se eles conseguem atingir a marca de 870, ou se em algum momento de dezembro precisarão indicar que não conseguem atingir esse número”, disse Ronan Murphy, diretor da Alton Aviation Consultancy. “Eles precisam acreditar que ainda podem chegar perto dessa meta.”
A Airbus informou que o lucro operacional ajustado atingiu € 1,77 bilhão (US$ 2 bilhões) nos três meses encerrados em setembro, valor que correspondeu em grande parte à estimativa dos analistas em uma pesquisa realizada pela empresa. A receita caiu 2%, para € 17,47 bilhões, abaixo da estimativa de € 17,91 bilhões.
Tradicionalmente, a Airbus entrega mais aeronaves nos últimos meses do ano, mas já foi obrigada a reduzir as metas de entrega no final do ano devido à escassez de motores e outras restrições na cadeia de suprimentos que interromperam a produção.
A Airbus afirma que essas pressões começaram a diminuir recentemente.
“Em um ambiente geopolítico e operacional complexo, estamos focados na entrega, mantendo um firme compromisso com a qualidade. Nosso plano é claro e nossas equipes estão empenhadas em atingir nossos objetivos”, disse o CEO Guillaume Faury em comunicado.
Murphy alertou que as pressões na cadeia de suprimentos diminuíram, mas não desapareceram.
“Os atrasos diminuíram, mas ainda existem atrasos em relação ao período inicial”, disse Murphy.
O fluxo de caixa livre antes do financiamento de clientes desde janeiro foi negativo em € 1,27 bilhão, refletindo estoques mais altos, visto que a Airbus se preparava para um desempenho de entregas mais forte no final do ano e aumentava a produção para as entregas de fim de ano.
A concorrente Boeing (BA.N) destacou na terça-feira os atrasos na produção e os desafios na cadeia de suprimentos, com a CEO Kelly Ortberg afirmando que a fabricante de aviões americana não atingirá as principais metas de produção e entrega de aeronaves este ano.
A Airbus continua à frente de sua rival americana em entregas neste ano, tendo entregue 547 aeronaves até agora em 2026, em comparação com as 475 da Boeing.

Ukraine’s Military Intelligence (HUR) has published the names of 49 Russian and Belarusian companies and institutions building Rassvet, Russia’s low-orbit satellite internet system, on its War&Sanctions portal, the agency said on 28 October. It needs it for its military purposes.
Russian troops ran front-line communications and long-range strike drones on smuggled Starlink terminals until SpaceX blocked them on 1 February 2026. Ukraine still flies on Musk’s network, and on 24 October it got back to full speed after a ten-day cap imposed abroad. Rassvet is meant to give Russia’s army satellite links under its own control.
HUR has said Moscow may struggle to obtain components for more satellites, and its list names the suppliers that sanctions would need to target while the network is still being built.
Rassvet is first of all a military communications system. Russia plans to use it for command and control, strike platforms, and drones, and to install terminals in the command-and-staff vehicles of Iskander-M missile systems, HUR says.
The Central Research Institute of Automation and Hydraulics is involved in integrating Rassvet into army communications, including fitting command vehicles, Iskander ones among them, with terminals once 292 satellites are in orbit, according to the portal. The same institute produces guidance components for the Iskander-M and Kinzhal missiles.
Planned coverage takes in Ukraine and the EU first, and once it is wide enough, Russia could use the system in hybrid attacks on other countries. That is why partners should block Rassvet’s access to components, equipment, and software now, the agency said.
The lead company is Bureau 1440, part of the IKS Holding tech group. According to the portal, it is linking its flight control center to systems of the Russian Defense Ministry. Roscosmos launches the satellites into orbit, and its head, Dmitry Bakanov, personally oversees Rassvet.
Meanwhile, Belintersat, Belarus’s national satellite operator, signed a partnership with Bureau 1440 in May 2026 to bring Rassvet into Belarus’s telecom network. It is a branch of the Plant of Precision Electromechanics, Belarus’s lead missile developer and maker of the Polonez rocket launcher.
Another Belarusian firm, Aerospace Instruments, prototypes components for the system.
Of the 49, 23, Roscosmos among them, are not under sanctions by any country in the sanctions coalition. The companies involved “must be included in all blacklists” of countries, banks, and businesses, the agency wrote.
Russia launched its first 16 Rassvet satellites earlier this year. Stable communications would need 200–250 in orbit, Serhii “Flash” Beskrestnov, then adviser to Ukraine’s defense minister, said in May.
By August, Russia had launched 32 Rassvet satellites and planned seven more launches by the end of 2026, a HUR official told Janes. Only 12 of them, all from the first batch, had reached a sustainable altitude by the end of August, ISW reported.

Earlier this year, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang downplayed the threat of other companies building competing AI chips, including Google.
"Without Anthropic, why would there be any TPU growth at all?" he said in an interview with podcaster Dwarkesh Patel, referring to Google's custom chips. "It's 100% Anthropic."
That is no longer the case.
On Tuesday, Google and Oracle announced a blockbuster deal that will see Google's TPUs, short for Tensor Processing Units, made available to Oracle cloud customers from next year. As the companies underscored in a joint announcement, it's the first time Google's TPUs have been offered on a hyperscaler's platform beyond its own.
Anthropic isn't the only one Nvidia should be worried about. OpenAI has a job listing for a software engineer to optimize its models for TPUs, and The Information reported Tuesday that OpenAI plans to buy TPUs from Google.
Meanwhile, several analysts have predicted Google's TPU business is about to explode as more companies hedge their bets with a multichip strategy — providing an opening for Google and others to further move onto Nvidia's turf.
Despite this, Nvidia's chip business still eclipses everyone else's, including Google, which is also a big customer of Nvidia's GPUs. Yet Google's AI chips, which the company began building more than a decade ago to power search and other products, might be poised for takeoff.
On Wednesday, during Google's third-quarter earnings call, chief financial officer Anat Ashkenazi said the company expects a "meaningful revenue ramp in 2027" in TPU sales.
Cloud chief Thomas Kurian also said on the call that TPU sales were a "meaningful contributor" to the company's Q3 financials.
In its IPO paperwork filed this week, Anthropic said it planned to spend $114.5 billion on Google compute between April 2026 and July 2033. While it didn't specify how much of that would go to TPUs specifically, it estimated spending between $125 billion and $150 billion on TPU capacity from Google and other providers.
In the same filing, Anthropic said it's also using Amazon's Trainium chips and AMD's GPUs, as well as chips from Nvidia and Google.
All told, this might be Nvidia's nightmare scenario coming true. If companies are increasingly using a multichip strategy, it could hamper Nvidia's pricing power.
Google declined to comment, and Nvidia and OpenAI did not respond to requests for comment.
Google's TPU business may only be getting started.
In notes published this month, Japanese banking group Mizuho projected TPU revenue of $28 billion for 2026 and $67 billion in 2027. Mizuho said Google could see that number reach as high as $100 billion in 2028, while TD Cowen's John Blackledge projected it could reach $138 billion, accounting for 34% of Google Cloud's 2028 revenue.
That number is still dwarfed by Nvidia, which reported $96.2 billion in revenue in the previous quarter alone, and the market reacted with a shrug on Wednesday as its share price stayed flat.
Some analysts, though, think the market is underestimating Google, especially as more companies look to reduce their reliance on Nvidia's GPUs.
"We believe Google's TPU hardware business is emerging as a materially larger opportunity than what is currently reflected in consensus estimates," Mizuho analysts wrote in a note published October 18, adding that selling TPUs outright — rather than renting them from Google's own data centers — could ease Google's aggressive capex spending.
And even if that spending continues to soar — and right now, there are no signs the foot is coming off the accelerator — analysts at Bank of America said Google's cash-splashing looks "relatively efficient" compared to its peers, as TPUs continue to power the company's own AI efforts.
For Google, it's the payoff of a decade-plus investment in silicon that was originally designed to make Search smarter. It could also act as something of a buffer against damage to its core search business as AI agents eat Google's lunch, Mizuho also said this month.

O estado de São Paulo registrou, até o momento, quatro casos de hantavirose, doença rara causada pela exposição à urina ou fezes de roedores infectados com o hantavírus. Uma morte associada à infecção foi confirmada em 2026.
Segundo o governo de São Paulo, desde 2007 foram registrados 199 ocorrências relacionadas a enfermidade. Destas, 101 evoluíram para o óbito, o que corresponde a uma taxa de letalidade de aproximadamente 51% no estado.
Quando analisado em todo o Brasil, durante este mesmo período (2007-2026), foram confirmados 1.613 casos, com 631 mortes, indicando uma taxa de mortalidade de 39,1%.
A hantavirose é uma doença infecciosa que pode ser transmitida de animais roedores silvestres para seres humanos. No Brasil, o vírus se manifesta como SCPH (Síndrome Cardiopulmonar por Hantavírus), que pode levar ao comprometimento cardíaco e respiratório, evoluindo rapidamente para quadros graves.
As suspeitas devem ser notificadas imediatamente aos serviços de vigilância epidemiológica, que atuam na investigação dos casos suspeitos, bem como na confirmação da doença.
Em abril deste ano, a enfermidade ganhou holofote após a confirmação de um surto em um cruzeiro que viajava da Argentina para Cabo Verde. Neste caso, além da contaminação pelos roedores, a infecção passava de pessoa para pessoa, deixando 3 mortos e dezenas de pessoas sob monitoramento.
Na época, a notícia gerou teorias sobre uma suposta epidemia no Brasil, pois no mesmo período foram confirmados novos casos no Paraná. No entanto, o Ministério da Saúde confirmou que o genótipo circulado no navio não possuía registro no país. Até o momento, foram identificados nove genótipos de Orthohantavírus em roedores silvestres no Brasil.
Uma característica importante é que os casos humanos registrados no território brasileiro não apresentam transmissão entre pessoas, este é um dos motivos no qual o surgimento de uma nova epidemia foi descartada.
O hantavírus pode provocar duas síndromes principais: a síndrome cardiopulmonar, mais comum nas Américas, e a febre hemorrágica com síndrome renal, predominante na Europa e na Ásia.
Na variante encontrada nas Américas, o vírus compromete os pulmões e o coração. Os pacientes podem apresentar dificuldade respiratória intensa, insuficiência respiratória e falência cardíaca.
Já nas variantes europeia e asiática, além de febre alta, dores no corpo, prostração e mal-estar, há risco de hemorragias e insuficiência renal. Os sangramentos podem ocorrer pelo nariz, olhos, boca e trato digestivo, incluindo episódios de vômito com sangue.
A principal medida de prevenção é evitar o contato com roedores silvestres. Por este motivo, é importante menter ambientes limpos, armazenar comidas em recipientes fechados e fechar aberturas que permitam a entrada de roedores.

Sen. Flávio Bolsonaro arrived in the United States on Tuesday, according to Mexican lawyer Simón Levy, who describes himself as a liaison to President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement. In a post on X made at 3:20 p.m., Levy said the failed presidential candidate had landed safely and credited U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio with orchestrating the operation.
As of the time this information was provided, the U.S. government, Brazil’s Foreign Ministry and the Federal Police had not officially confirmed his arrival. Brazilian authorities also had no formal record of the senator leaving the country.
“As I reported hours ago, Flávio Bolsonaro has arrived safely in United States. The mastermind behind this operation is U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio. From the United States, free and safe, Flávio will lead the opposition against Lula,” Levy wrote on X.
The trip came after Supreme Court Justice Alexandre de Moraes ordered Bolsonaro’s passport seized. According to reports, he fled Brazil overnight, accompanied by his family, with help from a small group of allies from both Brazil and the United States. The Federal Police found no record of him passing through a regular immigration checkpoint.
Bolsonaro’s legal team said their last contact with him was at 4:30 p.m. on Monday. Reports in the Argentine press mentioned a possible border crossing and a jet that reportedly reached Puerto Iguazú but never took off. The exact circumstances of his departure have not been officially confirmed.
Bolsonaro had said he would hand over his passport to the Federal Police and would not leave the country over the election results. That is not what happened.
Simón Levy is a Mexican lawyer and businessman who presents himself as connected to the MAGA movement. He previously served in the government of Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
Levy had already said on social media that Bolsonaro was en route to the United States. He later announced the senator’s arrival and said Rubio was responsible for orchestrating it. In another post, he said a U.S. protection operation was underway to ensure the lawmaker’s safety.
Levy’s statements, however, have not been confirmed by U.S. officials. His claim of proximity to Trump’s political circle does not, on its own, prove that the U.S. government formally participated in Bolsonaro’s departure or his reception in the United States.
Operation Alba is a name Levy uses to describe an alleged political strategy involving Bolsonaro and U.S. activity in Latin America. According to Levy, the senator will lead opposition to President Lula da Silva’s government from within the United States.
In Levy’s account, the effort is tied to pressure from Washington on Venezuela, Cuba and Mexico, including economic measures. Levy also credited Rubio with orchestrating the operation. Levy has written about Operation Alba on his website.
Allies of Bolsonaro say he plans to request political asylum from President Trump. According to these accounts, that protection could extend to his wife and two daughters. The reported favorable signal from the U.S. government has also not been officially confirmed.
In Brazil, the Federal Police canceled both Bolsonaro’s regular and diplomatic passports. Workers’ Party (PT) lawmakers have requested his pretrial detention and asked that his name be added to an Interpol Red Notice. The Socialism and Freedom Party (PSOL), meanwhile, has asked the Senate to investigate whether he has abandoned his elected position.
His departure also upends the political plans attributed to him. Allies had said he intended to lead opposition to Lula’s government in Congress. With his trip to the United States, that strategy is now on hold, according to these accounts.

Mike Sievert cut his last ties with T-Mobile US, resigning from the board and stepping down as vice chair a little over a year after he gave up the CEO job.
In a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Sievert (pictured) told the board he would resign from it and from its Transaction Committee on 1 November.
T-Mobile noted the resignation is not the result of any disagreement with the company over operations, policies or practices.
Recon Analytics founder and analyst Roger Entner noted on X Sievert’s exit echoes the departure of his predecessor John Legere years earlier.
The timing matches the expiry of an amendment to his employment agreement and made in September 2025 and completes a handover process begun when T-Mobile confirmed then COO Srini Gopalan would succeed Sievert as CEO.
A contract struck with Sievert in 2023 would have seen him remain CEO until 2028. He was appointed to the post in 2020 when T-Mobile closed its merger with Sprint.
He took on the vice chair post to stay involved in the management of the company and on the board.
Gopalan became T-Mobile’s COO in March 2025 after heading Deutsche Telekom’s German business.
He joined the US operator’s board in 2022.
