Chinese tech and gaming giant Tencent has been awarded its first license for a video game in 18 months. This comes after the Chinese authorities started its wide-reaching crackdown on big tech companies, implementing legislation like limiting the amount of time children could spend playing games, and freezing the approval of new titles. Beijing has approved 70 titles in November so far, a sign that the Chinese government has been easing back on restrictions as economic growth in the country slows. Earlier this month, the government announced a plan to shore up its property sector, including addressing the liquidity crunch faced by developers.

Poland has called the missile attack an “unfortunate accident”, easing tensions in the area – and crude oil prices.
