A group of fighters has gathered at Turkey's border with Syria to join the fight against militants, cheered on by Kurds in Turkey. Meanwhile, Volkswagen has reported profits that exceed analyst expectations, driven by sales growth in its Audi and Skoda brands. The Federal Reserve has ended its six-year bond-buying program, known as quantitative easing, as it believes the economy no longer requires such support, although it plans to keep short-term interest rates near zero for a considerable time.
