1. At least 153 people died in a crush during Halloween celebrations in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, including 22 foreigners. Another 82 were injured and the city has reportedly received thousands of missing-persion reports. The president, Yoon Suk-yeol, declared a period of national mourning and promised an official investigation into the tragedy, which took place in the Itaewon district, a popular area for nightlife.

2. Hong Kong's financial summit mired in Covid. After more than two years largely sealed off from the outside world, and a violent crackdown on democracy, Hong Kong's reputation has taken a beating. But the goverment hopes to revive its vulnerable status as Asia's top commercial hub this week with a high-profile summit of global leaders from the finance industry.

It will be a hard sell. Hong Kong is still physically isolated from mainland China as a result of zero-covid policies, thereatening its traditional role as a business gateway to the mainland economy. Wall Street bosses are among the attendees, but some will be notable by their absence. A recent coivid-19 dianosis will keep the head of Citigroup, Jane Fraser, at home. Hong Kong still requires multiple tests for visitors and enforced isolation for those testing positive. Paul Chan, the city's financial secretary, aims to attend despite having contracted covid on a trip to Saudi Arabia. Zero-covid, it seems, still means lots of covid.
