U2 are back in the studio with drummer Larry Mullen Jr., guitarist The Edge has revealed.

longtime drummer Larry Mullen Jr. who had to sit out of the band’s historic Las Vegas Sphere residency due to injury and recovering from surgery – is now “good” and “taking it easy but he’s back in the saddle on the drums” in the studio.

The Edge revealed that U2 are now recording new music with Mullen Jr., which he described as “crazy”. He eplained: “We’re at that great phase where we don’t have to over think it, we’re just making music and loving that process. And then we’ll figure out where things belong afterwards so there’s a couple of different projects.”

The Edge continued: “Definitely U2, with Larry which is wonderful, we’ve got him in the studio… he’s good, he’s taking it easy but he’s back in the saddle on the drums still doing some recording with us and so we’ll be doing a bit more of that before the end of the year.”

Gus, an emperor penguin who travell about 3,000km from Antarctica to the West Australian coast, is on his long way home after being released into the Southern Ocean.

Emperor penguins can travel up to 1,600km on foraging trips, when they hunt fish, squid and krill. So Gus’s arrival on Ocean Beach, Denmark, on 1 November sparked surprise.

Local wildlife carers Carole and Graham Biddulph looked after Gus during his 20-day “extraordinary stopover” before his release back into the Southern Ocean earlier this week.

The regulatory overhaul, related to digital negotiable instrument (#DNI) utilisation, is gaining global momentum with key #economies and financing hubs now following in the steps of the UK, Singapore and Mexico. While the regulatory environment is already enabling #transactions utilising #eBills as collateral, looking beyond the #financial sphere might suggest that #trade #finance lags far behind other areas of the ecosystem.

At GTR Nordics on November 27, Joshua Kroeker (Mitigram), Rebeca Suup (Alleima), Patrik Zekkar (Enigio), Christer Norén (Swedbank), Chris Southworth (ICC United Kingdom) and Lars Karlsson (A.P. Moller – Maersk) will review some of the more contentious issues relating to trade digitalisation, taking in lessons learned from more digitally advanced areas of the ecosystem:

– To what extent are differing legal jurisdictions and lack of documentary standardisation slowing DNI adoption?
– How much comfort can be provided on the singularity, integrity and exclusive control of eBills?
– Are trade financiers sold on the potential of DNIs and is the commercial case strong enough to persuade corporates and shippers to push this forward?
