Looting near U.N. base in Haiti; Ban promises more aid
By Makini Brice LES CAYES (Reuters) – Haitians desperate for relief from hunger and sickness in the wake of Hurricane Matthew looted United Nations trucks on Saturday during a short visit to a hard-hit port town by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, who promised more aid. The Category 4 hurricane tore through Haiti on Oct. 4, killing about 1,000 people and leaving more than 1.4 million in need of humanitarian aid, including 175,000 made homeless. Flooding has triggered a new wave of cholera infections, a disease introduced to Haiti by U.N. peacekeepers a few months after the country's last major humanitarian crisis, a destructive 2010 earthquake.

Exclusive: Carmakers forced back to bigger engines in new emissions era
By Laurence Frost and Agnieszka Flak PARIS (Reuters) – Tougher European car emissions tests being introduced in the wake of the Volkswagen scandal are about to bring surprising consequences: bigger engines.

Renault , General Motors and VW are preparing to enlarge or scrap some of their best-selling small car engines over the next three years, the people said.
