Taoiseach to address global leaders at COP27 today
Taoiseach Micheál Martin will address global leaders later today when he outlines Ireland’s position on climate action at the COP27 climate summit in Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. He is expected to make it clear that Ireland remains committed to scaling up its contribution to international climate finance in support of vulnerable communities who are impacted most by climate change. Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres warned leaders that the clock is ticking, that the global climate fight will be won or lost in this crucial decade, and that all hands on deck are needed for faster bolder climate action.

Airbnb announces plans to address hidden fees and ‘checkout requests’
From December, Airbnb is to begin offering users the option to show the total price of a listing up front – including service and cleaning fees, but not taxes. The total will also be shown on the map, filter and listing page – but is not a default feature, the company said. The change will apply to countries that don’t already have price display requirements (listings in the EEA, including Ireland, among other areas, already show total fees). So-called “hidden” fees can add considerably to the price of an Airbnb rental, once cleaning and service extras and minimum stays are calculated. “I’ve heard you loud and clear—you feel like prices aren’t transparent and checkout tasks are a pain,” CEO Brian Chesky tweeted on Monday. “We are prioritising total price (instead of nightly price) in our search ranking algorithm,” the company said.

Trump says he will make a ‘big announcement’ on Nov 15
Former U.S. President Donald Trump suggested on Monday he would mount a 2024 presidential run as soon as next week, saying at a political rally in Ohio on Monday he would make a “big announcement” on Nov. 15. “I’m going to be making a very big announcement on Tuesday, Nov. 15 at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida,” Trump told supporters at a rally for Republican U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance ahead of the midterm elections. The former president declined to elaborate, saying he did not want to “detract from tomorrow’s very important, even critical election.” On Tuesday, Americans will cast their vote in elections that could result in Republicans winning control of one or both chambers of Congress.
