The European Commission is preparing to release billions of euros in Hungary's EU funds currently frozen due to concerns over the rule of law, which could secure Budapest's support for an increase in the bloc's budget and significant financial aid for Ukraine.
The release of funds that have been frozen since December last year would mark a victory for Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who has vowed not to agree to any increase in the EU budget until Hungary's access to it is restored.
The Commission intends to unfreeze about 13 billion euros in funding by the end of November, three officials briefed on the discussions told the FT.

- Daily Mail:
Fifty-five Chinese sailors are feared to have died after their nuclear submarine apparently fell into a trap designed to ensnare British submarines in the Yellow Sea.
According to a secret British report, the sailors died as a result of a catastrophic failure of the submarine's oxygen systems, resulting in poisoning to the crew.
It is believed that among the dead is the captain of the Chinese PLA Navy submarine "093-417", as well as 21 other officers.
Officially, China denies the incident. Beijing also appears to have refused to request international assistance for its stricken submarine.
The UK report on the fatal mission states: “Intelligence reports that there was an on-board accident on 21 August during a mission in the Yellow Sea.
«The incident occurred at 08.12 local time, as a result of which 55 crew members were killed: 22 officers, 7 cadets, 9 petty officers, 17 sailors. The dead include Captain Colonel Xue Yong-Peng.
«As far as we understand, the death was caused by hypoxia due to a system malfunction on the submarine. The submarine collided with a chain and anchor obstacle used by the Chinese Navy to catch US and allied submarines.
«This led to failures in the systems; it took six hours to repair and float the ship. The onboard oxygen system poisoned the crew after a catastrophic failure.”

Lack of Franco-German consensus delays EU decisions
A lack of consensus between France and Germany, the EU's two most powerful member states, is causing delays on a host of high-priority and urgent issues, including financing Ukraine and overseeing national budgets.
The impasse has spooked Brussels and other EU capitals and exposed the difficulty of making decisions without agreement between Paris and Berlin.
The lack of personal chemistry between German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron isn't helping.
“It looks like they just don’t get along,” — said one participant in recent talks between the two leaders.
“And that’s the basis of everything.”
The problems arise both from significant political differences between the two countries and from the turbulent nature of the coalition government in Germany, which has made it more difficult for Chancellor Olaf Scholz to set clear direction on issues such as energy.
Tensions have simmered for more than a year but have reached a fever pitch in recent months as the EU struggles to respond to the war in Ukraine and its economic fallout.
In particular, there are disagreements over how to finance Ukraine's military efforts and how to reduce the EU's dependence on Russian energy. France and Germany have also clashed over issues such as trade and immigration.
