Shares in Close Brothers Group PLC (LSE:CBG) and Lloyds Banking Group PLC (LSE:LLOY) tanked as a court of appeal ruled that motor dealers offering loans to customers for car purchases were liable to potential compensation for mis-selling.

For Lloyds, wealth platform Hargreaves Lansdown suggested the ruling means the bill it gets could be in the billions.

McDonald’s burgers blamed for deadly E. coli outbreak

A spate of Quarter Pounder poisonings has left one person dead and ten hospitalized

One person in the US has died and at least 49 have become sick after eating McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has said. It is unclear which ingredient in the fast food classic is responsible for the illnesses.

The infections were reported between September 27 and October 11 across ten US states, with the majority occurring in Colorado and Nebraska. Those affected range in age from 13 to 88, with the fatal case occurring in “an older adult,” the CDC said in an update on Tuesday.

Ten people have been hospitalized, including one child suffering from hemolytic uremic syndrome, a serious condition that causes damage to blood vessels in the kidneys.

“The true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, and the outbreak may not be limited to the states with known illnesses,” the CDC said in an another update on Wednesday.


All 18 sick people interviewed by public health officials reported eating at McDonald’s in the week before they became ill. Of 14 people who remember which beef hamburger they ate, 12 said they had a Quarter Pounder, a staple of the McDonald’s menu since the 1970s.

The CDC said that it is still unsure which Quarter Pounder ingredient was contaminated, but that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suspects slivered onions may be to blame. Meanwhile, the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) is tracing the beef patties used in the burgers to determine if they were the source of the outbreak.

McDonald’s has temporarily pulled the Quarter Pounder from its menu in affected states and stopped using slivered onions in other burgers. Speaking to the Today show on Wednesday, McDonald’s USA President Joe Erlinger said that the company had taken “swift action,” and that he is “very confident that you can go to McDonald’s and enjoy our classics.”

E. coli is a group of bacteria that normally lives in the gut of people and animals. Some strains of E. coli are harmful, and can cause severe illness, including fever, stomach cramps, diarrhea and vomiting. These strains typically infect humans who unknowingly ingest fecal matter.

Determined To Win Moscow Unites Partners

Support SouthFront


While the West continues to fuel bloody conflicts, including the war in Ukraine, Moscow is steadily following the course set for victory at the front and for multipolarity on the global scene.

Continuing offensive operations on all fronts, the Russian military launched another combined attack on the rear areas of Ukraine. On the night of October 23, Russian strikes were reported in Ivano-Frankivsk, Odessa, Kharkiv, Vinnytsia and Kiev regions. According to preliminary reports, the targets included military depots, airfields and military bases of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

In its turn, the Ukrainian military tried to attack the territory of Russia.

Russian air defense forces shot down 14 Ukrainian drones at night. Ten drones were destroyed over Crimea, four others were destroyed in the Rostov region. Also, in the Black Sea, the Black Sea Naval Aviation destroyed four Ukrainian unmanned boats on their way to the Crimean Peninsula.

With the support of NATO, the Ukrainian military resumed regular attempts to attack targets in Crimea after a short pause. Today’s strikes were expected. The day before, military monitoring resources reported that an aviation missile threat was introduced on the peninsula, which indicates the takeoff of Su-24M cruise missile carriers and their approach to the southern Russian regions. However, the interception of missiles was not reported. Most likely, the Ukrainian fighters launched the ADM-160 decoy missiles in order to assess the reaction of the Russian defense and force its air defense systems to expend ammunition. After such a provocation, a combined attack on the peninsula was expected to be launched in the nearest future, and the Russian military was ready to repel it.

Meanwhile, the West is busy following the BRICS international summit, which is taking place in the Russian city of Kazan from October 22 to 24. Russia assumed the BRICS presidency in 2024 and the year has begun with the accession of new members to the association – in addition to Russia, Brazil, India, China and South Africa, it now includes Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Together, these countries represent more than 45% of the world’s population and more than 30% of global GDP. Russia’s BRICS presidency is under the motto of strengthening multilateralism for equitable global development and security.

The BRICS summit in Kazan has already become a new symbol of Russia’s lack of isolation, and the West clearly sees it as a challenge to its hegemony. Most foreign media have reported that the participation of world leaders in the summit in Russia demonstrates that the West has failed to isolate Moscow, and proves that the Russian Federation has no shortage of allies. Among other things, the final declaration of the summit, will approve a common approach to the situation in Ukraine.
