The influencer-marketing platform Grin has laid off "many" staffers — in the company's third round of layoffs in recent months — a spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider. As the company grew, "a distance also grew" between the platform and its customers, the Grin spokesperson said in a statement. First, in November 2022, the company laid off 60 staffers, mostly in Grin's sales department, the company confirmed to BI at the time. Then, in March 2023, the company laid off several staffers across multiple departments, sources close to the company told Business Insider. The impacted staffers in this latest round of cuts will receive a three-month severance package and extended healthcare benefits, the Grin spokesperson said.

☆ U.S. and allies must 'persuade countries, not dictate to them,' former UK PM Gordon Brown says

Former U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Wednesday that the U.S. and other powerful nations must "persuade countries, not dictate to them" in an increasingly multipolar world. Much of the conversation at this week's World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, has focused on a breakdown of trust between populations and world leaders, and how to restore it. Allianz CEO Oliver Bäte told CNBC Tuesday that an "increasing detachment of the political elite from the working class" was the "number one risk for our societies." It's no longer neoliberal economics, it's more mercantilist economics, states doing their own thing, and protectionist trade policies have become 'in' and we've seen a retreat from globalization," Brown told CNBC on the sidelines of WEF. Brown told CNBC Wednesday that he still believes this should be the template for establishing lasting peace in the region, but that it is "incredibly difficult because nobody is trusting each other at the moment."

LONDON (AP) — Alistair Darling, a central figure in the U.K.’s response to the 2008 financial crisis who later helped organize the campaign against Scottish independence, has died. Darling had been treated for cancer, his family said in statement on Thursday. He served as Britain’s treasury chief under then Prime Minister Gordon Brown, who praised him as a “popular and effective’’ government minister. Though Darling held a variety of posts during his 28 years in the House of Commons, he is likely to be remembered most for his work in steering the nation’s finances during the global credit crunch. The package of measures he implemented were credited with preventing an even more dramatic slide after the crisis threatened the nation’s banking system.

REUTERS/Russell Cheyne/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsLONDON, Nov 30 (Reuters) - Former British finance minister Alistair Darling, who steered the country's economy and banking system through the shock of the global financial crisis in 2007-08, has died aged 70 after undergoing treatment for cancer, his family said on Thursday. Darling was named chancellor of the exchequer by former prime minister Gordon Brown in June 2007, just as the crisis was brewing at leading financial institutions. "I never met anyone who didn't like him," Brown's predecessor as prime minister, Tony Blair, said. "Darling's passing is a huge loss to us all," said Britain's present prime minister Rishi Sunak, from the centre-right Conservative party.

☆ Alistair Darling, Guiding Hand in Britain’s Financial Crisis, Dies at 70

Alistair Darling, a British lawmaker and cabinet minister who played a leading role in his country’s response to the 2008 global financial crisis, rescuing troubled banks with huge injections of public money that staved off a broader economic collapse, died on Thursday at a hospital in Edinburgh. Darling became “best known as the steady pair of hands who shepherded the U.K. economy as half its banking system collapsed,” noting his moves to rescue British banking giants, especially the Royal Bank of Scotland. Just before the crisis, in 2007, Gordon Brown, Britain’s Labour prime minister at the time, elevated Mr. Darling to chancellor of the Exchequer, the government’s most senior official in charge of the nation’s finances. Darling had held a series of government offices at the Treasury and at ministries dealing with welfare, pensions, trade and transport.

The fracturing of the rules and bonds tying the global economy together - so-called "geo-economic fragmentation" - seemed implausible only a few years ago. Nowhere is it more pressing than for Europe, whose wealth has always relied on trade, from its rapacious colonial history through to its reinvention as self-styled champion of WTO rules. Both the United States and Europe have been hardening their stance towards Beijing while stressing the rules of world trade must be fairly applied. The main EU concern is that the U.S. proposals could break WTO rules by discriminating against third parties. "And we really hope ... that after the election in the United States this is going to continue."

Those institutions and practices bound Americans together in a world below our more divisive national politics. Even if there is a border crisis, for example, the state of Wyoming can’t do much about it. Despite that obstacle, the old guard is having some success defending its own way of doing politics. Of course, on their own, such rear-guard tactics won’t be enough to save the Wyoming way. Champions of the old way must also do the hard work of aggressively recruiting local candidates and precinct committee chairs.

Girls over the age of 12 have been mostly excluded from school classes since the Taliban returned to power. "The International Criminal Court should recognize this gender discrimination as a crime against humanity and investigate it with a view to the arraignment and prosecution of those responsible," said Brown, a former British prime minister. Khan is investigating suspected war crimes committed in Afghanistan over the past 20 years.

LONDON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - Britain's government on Monday named an experienced Treasury official as the finance ministry's new top civil servant, after unsettling investors last month by abruptly ousting his predecessor. He replaces Tom Scholar whose departure shortly after Kwasi Kwarteng became finance minister contributed to a drop in confidence among investors since Liz Truss took over as prime minister. The removal of Scholar broke the British convention that non-partisan officials remain in post after a change of political leadership. It came shortly before Kwarteng announced a string of unfunded tax cuts that caused turmoil in financial markets. Bowler's appointment came as a surprise after newspapers last week reported that Truss wanted someone new to the Treasury to take the department's top job.

Organizația Mondială a Sănătății cere statelor G7 să finanțeze vaccinarea împotriva coronavirusului la nivel global, într-un efort de accelerare a imunizării în toată lumea. Cu puţin înainte de acest apel, Covax a anunţat că va achiziţiona 500 de milioane de doze de vaccin antiCOVID Moderna, dar peste 90% din flacoane nu vor fi disponibile înainte de 2022. În afară de Moderna, OMS a omologat vaccinul Pfizer-BioNTech, cele două seruri AstraZeneca fabricate în India şi Coreea de Sud şi cel de la Johnson&Johnson (Janssen). Sistemul s-a lovit de voinţa statelor mai bogate, care în faţa presiunii populaţiei, au procurat cât mai multe doze posibile în detrimentul altora. OMS a invitat ţările cu suficiente vaccinuri să le împărtăşească prin Covax.

„Ţările G7 ar putea mobiliza o parte substanţială din aceste fonduri şi ar putea prelua conducerea eforturilor globale de accelerare a vaccinării pe plan mondial”, a subliniat el. În afară de Moderna, OMS a omologat vaccinul Pfizer-BioNTech, cele două seruri AstraZeneca fabricate în India şi Coreea de Sud şi cel de la Johnson&Johnson (Janssen).

Potrivit medicului Bruce Aylward, responsabil cu dosarul ACT Accelerator al OMS, decizia autorităţilor de la New Delhi a privat Covax de circa 100 milioane de doze de vaccin. Statele Unite, la rândul lor, intenţionează să ofere circa 60 de milioane de doze de vaccin AstraZeneca altor ţări, fără a preciza pentru moment dacă aceste distribuţii vor fi făcute prin Covax.
