Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump attacked his Democratic rival Hilary Clinton over her response to the recent spate of bombing attacks in the country, during a campaign rally in Fort Myers, Florida, on Monday. Responding to Clinton's use of the word 'deplorable' to describe his supporters, Trump called out the former Secretary of State, saying that she has never used the terms 'deplorable' or irredeemable' about "those who oppose or murder women and gays overseas."

On Friday, Goldman Sachs predicted the UK's economy will grow 7% in 2021. The growth will be led by the coronavirus vaccine rollout and a Brexit trade deal. Over half of the country's population is expected to be immunized by March. Business Insider reports there will be a significant rebound in economic activity from the second quarter of next year. New trade restrictions are likely to weigh on potential growth in the coming years. Goldman said the drag will mostly be slow to materialize. UK GDP will end the year 11.7% under its pre-pandemic level, twice as much as Germany, France, and Italy.
Goldman Sachs has cut its near-term growth forecasts for the United States. Goldman Sachs based this on spiking COVID-19 cases and slowing economic activity. US gross domestic product will grow 3.5% in the fourth quarter, down from the previous forecast of 4.5%. According to Business Insider first-quarter 2021 growth estimate was also lowered to 1% from 3.5%. Goldman Sachs said the winter drag should give way to a bigger rebound on the back of vaccine distribution.
