By Paul Kirby Published 20 hours ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Russia-Ukraine war A senior figure in eastern Ukraine has denied reports that a vital road linking Ukrainian-controlled areas in the east has been blocked from the rest of the country by Russian forces.

Relief for Barclays as ‘knockout’ investment bank overshadows £1.4bn PPI hit
Barclays' prized investment bank beat Wall Street rivals in the three months to September, boosting chief executive Jes Staley as he fights off demands for a shake-up from corporate raider Ed Bramson. The bank stayed in profit despite being hit by a £1.4bn bill for compensating customers caught up in the payment protection insurance (PPI) mis-selling scandal, beating the expectations of analysts. Its investment bank posted a particularly strong set of numbers, with revenue growth of 17pc compared to the around 10pc average of its US competitors. The figures will boost Mr Staley's case for keeping the investment bank intact. He had faced a challenge from activist investor Mr Bramson, who believes the division is holding Barclays back and has called for drastic cuts. Ian Gordon, an analyst at Investec, said: "The investment bank delivered yet another knockout performance." Barclays reported profits of £246m for the third quarter, down from £374m in the same period last year. … [Read more...] about Relief for Barclays as ‘knockout’ investment bank overshadows £1.4bn PPI hit
