 Toyota has announced a delay in its plans to manufacture electric vehicles (EVs) in the US, citing a decline in global demand for battery-powered cars.

 In a surprisingly civil vice-presidential debate on Tuesday night, Republican JD Vance and Democrat Tim Walz addressed key issues facing American voters ahead of the November 5 election. Unlike the heated presidential debates earlier this year, this 90-minute conversation on CBS News in New York focused more on their opponents than on direct confrontations. While Walz initially struggled, he gained confidence discussing abortion and the January 6 Capitol riot. Vance, known for his polished speaking style, remained composed and offered a more approachable version of Trump's conservative messaging. He stated, "Donald Trump was president. Inflation was low. Take-home pay was higher," reinforcing his candidate's economic record. The debate featured moments of agreement, with both candidates acknowledging common ground on certain issues.
