☆ Germany ready to end long-term striker conundrum

DOHA, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Germany's eight-year experimentation in attack looks to be coming to an end at the World Cup in Qatar with coach Hansi Flick having opted to include natural centre forwards in his squad. Since the retirement of all-time leading World Cup scorer Miroslav Klose following their 2014 World Cup victory in Brazil, the Germans have tried a variety of attacking systems mainly with wingers deployed as false nines but with little success. Youssoufa Moukoko, the youngest player at this World Cup at 18, is a striker from a different generation than Fuellkrug. While he is unlikely to start, the teenager will no doubt be deployed, especially following injuries to centre forward Lukas Nmecha and forward Timo Werner who did not travel to Qatar. Germany kick off their World Cup campaign against Japan on Wednesday before taking on 2010 world champions Spain and Costa Rica in Group E.Reporting by Karolos Grohmann, editing by Ed OsmondOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

☆ Robert Clary, ‘Hogan’s Heroes’ star who survived the Holocaust, dead at 96

Reuters —Paris-born actor and singer Robert Clary, who survived 31 months in Nazi concentration camps but later co-starred in “Hogan’s Heroes,” the US sitcom set in a German World War II prisoner of war (POW) camp, has died at the age of 96. “Hogan’s Heroes” starred Bob Crane as American Colonel Robert Hogan, with Richard Dawson, Larry Hovis and Ivan Dixon playing other POWs. “Hogan’s Heroes” was popular with TV viewers during its run on the CBS network and for decades afterward in syndication even though some critics considered it in bad taste. In 1980, alarm over people trying to deny the Holocaust prompted Clary to end his self-imposed silence about his experiences. He also wrote an autobiography, “From the Holocaust to Hogan’s Heroes.”“We must learn from history,” Clary told the Reno Gazette-Journal in 2002, “which we don’t.”

☆ The 'total return era' of investing might be over, the credit chief for a $6 billion firm told us. Here's what he's buying to lock in solid returns that will hold up in a recession.

He says the 'total return era' of high, stable returns across asset classes might be gone for good. Reddy explained his ideas about what to buy to get solid returns at smart levels of risk. But buying everything only works if all of those structural factors are sending demand and asset prices steadily higher, Reddy said. Younger workers tend to spend more and save less, which means greater demand and more inflation pressure, Reddy said. "If you have a higher inflation environment, you need to take some kind of risk."

Oct 25 (Reuters) - Ukraine's external financing needs will be around $3 billion a month through 2023 in a best-case scenario, but could rise as high as $5 billion if Russian bombing becomes "even more dramatic," IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said. She said IMF staff had met with Ukrainian authorities in Vienna last week to discuss the country's financial needs and were working toward a fully-fledged IMF lending programme. Georgieva strongly endorsed Ukraine's calls for a mechanism to coordinate financial needs and support, a message echoed by Odile Renaud-Basso, president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, and other speakers. We are going to be a part of the solution during this recovery phase," the IMF leader said. "And in a worst case scenario, if the bombing is even more dramatic ... it could go to $5 billion a month."

Self-driving truck startup Kodiak Robotics said that it has begun a pilot program with IKEA in Texas. Kodiak's CEO, Don Burnette, said that he isn't looking to put truck drivers out of business – in fact, he's aiming to make their lives easier. Texas has become a hotbed for self-driving truck testing, in part because of favorable regulations -- and also because the long highway stretches between its cities are ideal for automation. Self-driving truck startup Aurora Innovation has also been testing trucks in Texas. Another startup, TuSimple , has been testing its self-driving semitrucks in Arizona and is planning to expand to Texas next year.

A once-bustling logistics mergers-and-acquisitions market is quieting down as slipping freight demand and higher borrowing costs dampen deal making in the sector. Company valuations are moderating in a softening freight market and rising borrowing costs are making deals tougher to complete. The market for freight and logistics companies surged during the pandemic as retailers sought to rush goods to consumers, fueling strong growth in shipping demand, higher freight rates and record profits for companies ranging from regional truck operators to international freight forwarders. Foreign-based ocean carriers and freight forwarders have also shown great interest in the U.S. logistics market as they seek to expand their end-to-end supply-chain services. But logistics companies looking to expand their reach and private-equity firms looking to expand existing logistics portfolios are still hunting deals.

Chiar dacă șefii germani au dat asigurări că Haaland va rămâne la Dortmund, cluburile mari nu renunță la ideea de a-l transfera. Chelsea, campioana Europei, pregătește o ofertă de 150 de milioane de lire sterline pentru a-i convinge pe cei de la Borussia să-i dea drumul, scrie 90min.com.
