Other news on 1 November 2016

It’s otherwise a slow global news day to start the month of November, with the international press focused almost singularly on the US election as Americans prepare to head to the polls a week from today. The Financial Times has endorsed Hillary Clinton (no surprise), the FBI is probing ties between the Trump campaign and Russia, Hillary Clinton is abandoning her pivot to a “positive” campaign, and the New York Times says experts believe Trump’s 1990s tax doge is “legally dubious.”

Perhaps the most relevant regional news of the day: “Thousands” of protesters in Morocco took to the streets again yesterday in multiple cities to protest the death of a fishmonger crushed in a garbage compactor after a confrontation with police. And confidence in South Africa has been restored after prosecutors dropped what many saw as a politically-motivated case against respected finance minister Pravin Gordhan. Reuters has the details, and the Financial Times (paywall) has a strong take on the decision.
