Quick Glance: News Organizations Encourage Biden and Trump to Commit to Debates

Twelve news organizations called on presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump to commit to debates, emphasizing their significance since 1976 in every campaign.

Highlighting the importance of debates, the organizations urged the candidates to discuss their visions for the nation's future before the American people.

While Trump is willing to debate his rival, Biden has not yet committed to further debates, and formal invitations have not been issued yet.

The Trump campaign pushed for an earlier debate schedule, criticized moderator selection, and raised concerns about the fairness and impartiality of the debates.

Quick Glance: Dubai permits private schools to adjust fees by up to 5.2%

Private schools in Dubai now have the ability to increase their fees by a maximum of 5.2 percent, based on their performance in the latest annual inspections. Schools demonstrating an improvement in their rating are eligible to implement fee increases.

The rate of increase is determined by the performance of each institution in the annual inspections conducted by the regulatory authority. Approval from the KHDA is mandatory for any fee adjustments.

Schools that enhance their rating from 'Weak' to 'Acceptable' or from 'Acceptable' to 'Good' can raise their fees by two times the ECI of 2.6 percent, equaling 5.2 percent.

The Education Cost Index is calculated using the yearly audited financial reports of private schools in Dubai to outline the operational expenses of a school and is developed in cooperation with the Digital Dubai Authority.

Quick Glance: IMF upgrades global growth forecast despite risks

The International Monetary Fund slightly raised its global growth forecast on Tuesday, noting that the economy had proven 'surprisingly resilient' despite inflationary pressures and monetary policy shifts.

IMF's chief economist, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, indicated that the global economy is heading for a 'soft landing,' with risks to the outlook now broadly balanced.

While advanced economies are expected to lead the growth, dim prospects in China and other major emerging markets could impact global trade partners, according to the report.

Despite Tuesday's brighter outlook, global growth remains low compared to historical standards, partly due to weak productivity growth and increasing geopolitical fragmentation.

Netanyahu too ‘busy’ to talk to Sunak after RAF helped repel Iranian attack: Israeli leader faces domestic pressure to rebuff international calls for restraint

ft.com/content/db147abd-4c1e-48ac-9d07-280ec583c526

Quick Glance: Netanyahu's Busy Schedule Hinders Communication with Sunak Post-RAF Assistance Against Iranian Attack

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not yet managed to engage in a conversation with UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak following the assistance provided by Royal Air Force warplanes in defending the Jewish state from an Iranian aerial assault.

Efforts are still underway to arrange a discussion between the two leaders, as Netanyahu is under significant domestic pressure to reject calls from the UK, the US, and the EU for restraint after Iran's attack.

Sunak stated in the House of Commons on Monday that the UK is urgently collaborating with allies to de-escalate the situation and prevent further bloodshed, mentioning that he will communicate with Netanyahu 'shortly'.

With Netanyahu's right-wing coalition partners pushing for substantial retaliation against Iran, Israel's western allies are advocating for caution and restraint to prevent a regional conflict.
