Other stories worth noting on 29 September 2016

OTHER STORIES worth noting this morning, at home and abroad, include:

  • Veteran finance writer Patrick Werr skips devaluation this week to discuss the New Administrative Capital, writing for the National in Abu Dhabi that it is “potentially an admirable idea – but one fraught with many a pitfall.”
  • BlackBerry isn’t going to make physical devices anymore (coverage here and here), but the company’s CEO told a reporter that its once-loved physical keyboards will live on.
  • If you’re a banker and tech geek (or a nerd who likes banking), you’ll want to read John Gapper’s column in the Financial Times (paywall) on why Deutsche Bank and Twitter have a lot more in common than you’d think.
  • 204 people are now confirmed dead, including a 4 year-old child, in last week’s migrant ship capsizing, according to an emailed statement from the International Organisation for Migration. Egyptians accounted for 119 of 162 survivors and at least 92 of the 204 dead.
