  • Good morning from The Financial Times.

  • Today is Tuesday, October 7th, and this is your FT News Briefing.

  • Europe applies pressure to Russia over suspected spy attacks,

  • and another open AI deal has analysts worried.

  • Plus, US-focused companies are losing out on the benefits of a weaker dollar.

  • I'm Sonya Hudson, and here's the news you need to start your day.

  • The European Union is expected to limit the travel of Russian diplomats within the bloc.

  • The move is a response to a surge in suspected spy attacks.

  • Those include arson and infrastructure sabotage.

  • The proposed rules will force Russian diplomats based in EU capitals to inform other governments of their travel plans outside their host country.

  • The restrictions are part of a new set of sanctions that need unanimous support to get approved.

  • Hungary was the last country opposed to the initiative,

  • but two people familiar with the matter say Budapest has dropped its veto.

  • There's been a flurry of artificial intelligence related deals lately,

  • and they're starting to look pretty circular.

  • OpenAI agreed to buy tens of billions of dollars worth of chips from AMD yesterday.

  • This comes just a couple of weeks after AMD's rival,

  • NVIDIA, announced $100 billion investment into OpenAI.

  • Here to talk more about why analysts are worried is the FT's venture capital correspondent,

  • George Hammond.
