Thailand has officially delisted cannabis and hemp plants from its narcotics list, with many nations now issuing warnings to travellers

A whole host of countries around the world have urgently issued warnings to thousands of travellers.

Global authorities are cautioning tourists from both possessing and using weed in countries like Indonesia, South Korea, and Japan.

Those found carrying cannabis in these regions can face jail time, fines, or even the death penalty.

In Singapore, the government has reminded its citizens abroad against using weed in any form.

The city-state’s narcotics Bureau warns any Singapore citizen or permanent resident who is found to have consumed controlled drugs outside Singapore will be liable for drug consumption.

Singaporean authorities regularly conduct checks at various points, with those convicted jailed for up to 10 years and fined up to $ 20,000 dollars.

ADP reports a surprising decline in November private sector jobs, raising concerns about labor market resilience and consumer sentiment.

ADP has revealed a surprise decline of 32,000 private sector jobs in November, signalling renewed pressure across the labour market. Small businesses in particular have been hit hardest, raising fresh concerns about resilience heading into the new year.

Economists warn that slowing hiring momentum and weakening pay growth point to a broader shift in worker demand. With consumers increasingly expecting unemployment to rise, sentiment across industries continues to cool.

The market now turns its attention to the upcoming Bureau of Labor Statistics report, which will offer a crucial read on whether this slowdown is temporary—or a sign of something much larger.

Australia may face a 13% electricity price hike next decade without faster renewable energy project implementation, warns energy watchdog.

Australia’s energy watchdog is warning that households could be hit with a 13% jump in electricity prices early next decade if renewable energy projects don’t accelerate. The Australian Energy Market Commission says the next five years will be critical to boosting clean generation and battery storage.

While a modest 5% drop in power bills is expected over the short term, delays in wind projects and transmission updates could see prices climb by as much as 20%. Energy Minister Chris Bowen also cautions that extending the life of ageing coal plants could push costs and pollution even higher.

Experts say that faster renewable construction could cut future prices by up to 10%, and that widespread electrification could transform long-term household savings.
