▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Chris Isidore | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

New York CNN —Boeing and the union that represents 33,000 striking employees at the company say talks between the two have broken down and no new talks are scheduled. A previous tentative agreement between the union and Boeing ahead of the strike was rejected nearly unanimously by the members now on strike. Union members are angry that they lost the traditional pension plan that they had at Boeing until 10 years ago. Boeing on Tuesday said that it is trying to reach a deal with the union that will bring the strike to an end. But the union said Boeing refused to improve the publicly disclosed offer of two weeks ago.

▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( Leslie Josephs | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Boeing delivered 33 airplanes in September, six more than during the same period a year earlier, as the company and its customers keep an eye on the impact of a machinist strike, now in its fourth week. Through September, Boeing has handed over 291 aircraft, well below the 371 it had delivered in the first nine months of 2023. Deliveries are key to Boeing. It's already burned through more than $8 billion this year since customers pay the bulk of the price when they receive the airplane. The two sides are back at the negotiating table this week, though the union dismissed a sweetened offer from Boeing last month.

☆ China penalizes European brandy in tit-for-tat response
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-08 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

An investigation has preliminarily determined that dumping of brandy from the EU is threatening China’s own brandy sector with “substantial damage,” the Chinese Commerce Ministry said. It also accounted for 99% of China’s brandy imports last year, with French brandy shipments reaching $1.7 billion. The Chinese commerce ministry gave no details. Ahead of the vote, in late August, China had suspended its planned anti-dumping measures on EU brandy, in an apparent goodwill gesture, despite determining that EU brandy had been sold in China at below-market prices. At the time, the Commerce Ministry said its probe would end before January 5, 2025, but that it could be extended.

CNN —Africa is home to the world’s largest free trade agreement, in terms of number of countries, territory, and population – the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

Aliko Dangote has been talking about the fact that he needs 35 visas to travel across the African continent.
