A 16-month-old baby has died in a car in Switzerland, after one of the parents forgot to drop it off at the nursery on the way to work. The baby was left in a company car park for several hours in La Chaux-de-Fonds near the French border, officials say. "It was not until the end of the day... that they realized what had happened," AFP news agency quotes local prosecutor Marc Remy as saying. A criminal investigation into the accident has been launched. Prosecutors told Swiss media that no further details would be released.

Kazakhstan's Model Is the Best Bet for Ukraine
Kazakhstan Model
Talks in Minsk meant to establish a roadmap to peace in Ukraine have, sadly, led to little else but a grim handshake between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart, Petro Poroshenko. Somewhat more positively though, Ukraine, Russia and the EU will hold talks today on the supply of Russian gas. Indeed, the trade connections between the East and West are in many ways central to Ukraine's crisis, which first began over Kiev's decision to sign the EU-Ukraine association agreement. As European Commission spokesperson Chantal Hughes noted, it is vital that the EU explain why the controversial association agreement does not threaten Russia's interests. If the EU cannot adequately make its case, the current talks are unlikely to bring any lasting peace to the region.

Branson Banks On £2bn Virgin Money Float
Virgin Bank
Sir Richard Branson is poised to pull the trigger on a stock market listing of Virgin's banking arm that City insiders predict could value it at up to £2bn. Sky News has learnt that directors of Virgin Money are in talks with advisers about announcing an intention to float as soon as early October, as they look to exploit strong current trading and investors' appetite to buy shares in the company.
A final decision about the timing of an initial public offering (IPO) will not be taken for several weeks and it remains a strong possibility that Virgin Money could opt to wait until next year, according to people close to the company. If it does press the button on a listing this year, Virgin Money, which has more than four million customers, would become the third so-called challenger bank to sell shares on the London Stock Exchange this year. One Savings, which does not offer current accounts, listed during the spring, while TSB was spun out of Lloyds Banking Group as part of the bank's state aid settlement with Brussels triggered by its taxpayer bailout in 2008.

The package, from Germany, containing the illicit creepy crawly cargo was intercepted by the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) staff working at the international mail facility at San Francisco airport. Watchful officials decided to inspect the parcel further after putting it through an x-ray machine and noticing "an anomaly".

EU leaders are meeting in Brussels to discuss the crisis in Ukraine, threatening to impose fresh sanctions against Russia. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton accused Russia of "direct aggression" in eastern Ukraine. Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite said Russia was "practically in a war against Europe". Russia denies that its forces are backing rebels, who have been gaining ground on Ukrainian forces. Baroness Ashton said there was "deep concern" over "direct aggression by Russian forces". She called on Russia to stop the flow of arms, equipment and personnel into Ukraine.
