| Jailed Libor trader has until end Sept to lodge final appeal request | | | By Kirstin Ridley LONDON (Reuters) - Tom Hayes, the first trader convicted by a jury of manipulating Libor benchmark interest rates, has until the end of September to lodge final grounds for appeal against his conviction and 14-year jail sentence, a London court clerk said on Tuesday. Hayes, who has been diagnosed with mild Asperger's Syndrome and was recently transferred from Wandsworth Prison in southwest London, initially applied for leave to appeal on Sept. 1 but was given extra time to polish the request. The 35-year-old former UBS and Citigroup trader was last month unanimously found guilty of eight charges of conspiracy to defraud for rigging Libor, the London interbank offered rate that underpins around $450 trillion of financial contracts and loans worldwide. |

| Study finds young people on antidepressants more prone to violence | | | By Kate Kelland LONDON (Reuters) - Young people taking antidepressants such as Prozac and Seroxat are significantly more likely to commit violent crimes when they are on the medication, but taking higher doses of the drugs appears to reduce that risk, scientists said on Tuesday. In research published in the PLoS Medicine journal, the scientists said that while their finding of a link does not prove that such drugs cause people to be more violent, further studies should be conducted and extra warnings may be needed in future when they are prescribed to people aged 15 to 24. Selective Serotonin Re-uptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) are a class of widely prescribed drugs, including fluoxetine, branded by Eli Lilly as Prozac, and GlaxoSmithKline's paroxetine, branded as Paxil or Seroxat, designed to ease symptoms of anxiety and depression. |
| Bill Cosby seeks to dismiss AIG insurance lawsuit | |  Bill Cosby, citing financial pressures, asked a federal judge to dismiss or put on hold a lawsuit in which American International Group Inc seeks to avoid paying for his defense against defamation claims by women who also accused him of sexual abuse. AIG had in June sued Cosby in Massachusetts and California over homeowner's insurance policies it issued to him in those states. It said these provide coverage for personal injury claims, which include defamation, but not for personal injury claims arising from "sexual, physical or mental abuse." Cosby is defending against defamation lawsuits by Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz in Massachusetts, and the model Janice Dickinson in California, spurred by denials by the entertainer or his representatives of claims of sexual misconduct.

President Francois Hollande on Monday said that French air strikes against the group in Syria would be necessary, a change in position after previously warning any such action could reinforce Assad.

| GE to move turbine jobs to Europe, China due to EXIM bank closure | |  By David Lawder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - General Electric Co said on Tuesday it will move 500 U.S. power turbine manufacturing jobs to Europe and China because it can no longer access U.S. Export-Import Bank financing after Congress allowed the agency's charter to lapse in June. The largest U.S. industrial conglomerate said France's COFACE export agency has agreed to support some of GE's global power project bids with a new line of credit in exchange for moving production of heavy-duty gas turbines to Belfort, France, along with 400 jobs. GE also said 100 additional jobs involved in packaging aeroderivative gas turbines will move next year from outside of Houston to Hungary and China.
