It delves into the economic effects of Apple's operations in Ireland and the regulatory responses triggered by the European Court of Justice's ruling, posing broader questions for the tech sector.

The EU’s top court orders Apple to pay €13bn in back taxes, and the Federal Reserve halves its proposed capital requirement increase for the largest US banks. Plus, we talk to the FT’s Benjamin Parkin about the Taliban’s warming relations with a growing number of regional powers.
