More than 100,000 obesity deaths ‘could be prevented with new food warnings’

More than 100,000 obesity deaths ‘could be prevented with new food warnings’

More than 100,000 obesity deaths could be prevented over 20 years if firms were forced to put nutrition warning labels on the front of food packs, experts have said. Researchers from the University of Liverpool found that warning labels for foods high in fat, salt or sugar – as implemented in several other countries – could save lives across England and cut the number of overweight people. In 2016, Chile was the first country to bring in a mandatory nutritional warning label law – with food and drink high in fat, salt or sugar needing to display a black octagonal warning on the front of packs. Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, have introduced similar changes. In the UK, while it is mandatory for nutrition information to be displayed on the back of all food packaging, putting any details on the front, such as the traffic light system, is voluntary. In the new study, published in the Lancet Regional Health – Europe, experts used modelling to see what differences mandatory warning labels could make. Looking at the 20-year period from 2024 to 2043, mandatory implementation of traffic light labelling was estimated to reduce obesity prevalence by 2.34 percentage points. It could also prevent or postpone 57,000 obesity-related deaths. But mandatory implementation of nutrient warning labelling – as seen in other countries – would have a bigger effect, with a 4.44 percentage point reduction in obesity prevalence and 110,000 fewer obesity-relateddeaths. The authors concluded that nutrient warning labels should now be considered by the Government. Dr Rebecca Evans, corresponding author of the study, said: “Our findings suggest that mandatory nutrient warning labels could deliver substantial health benefits for the population, reducing both obesity rates and related mortality. “These results support current government discussions about alternative labelling approaches and provide robust evidence to guide future UK food labelling policy.” Dr Zoe Colombet, an author on the study, said: “Nutrition labels are a simple yet powerful tool. “Making them mandatory could help people make healthier food choices and encourage the food industry to rethink what goes on our shelves, helping to prevent thousands of deaths linked to obesity”. Amanda Daley, professor of behavioural medicine at Loughborough University, said: “We need effective public health interventions to reduce the number of deaths related to people living with obesity and mandatory warning labels on food may be one way to achieve this. “Importantly, we need the food industry to play their part in helping people to make informed decisions about the food they purchase and consume. “The requirement for food manufacturers in the United Kingdom to include warning labels may encourage the sector to consider more carefully the contents and portion size of food items that they sell. “Let’s not forget, the public have the right to be fully informed about the impact of the food they consume on their health.” Dr Jordan Beaumont, from Sheffield Hallam University, said: “Traffic light labelling is a useful tool for consumers but can be tricky to interpret in context of our wider food choices and dietary intake. “Given we often have very little time to actually inspect labelling and make truly informed decisions when shopping for food, nutrition warning labels provide simpler and more explicit information that is quick and easy to interpret, which explains the larger impact of such information in this modelling.” Andrea Martinez-Inchausti, assistant director of food at the British Retail Consortium, which represents retailers, said: “Retailers are fully committed to helping improve the health of their customers and have been consistent in providing advice on healthy living, including providing nutritional information on all their products. “Supermarkets have also keenly adopted the traffic light system for nutritional information on their own products.” A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said: “This government is bringing in a modernised food nutrient scoring system to reduce childhood obesity. “We are taking strong action to tackle the obesity crisis as part of our 10 Year Health Plan, which will shift the focus from sickness to prevention. “We are also restricting advertising of junk food on TV and online, limiting volume price promotions on less healthy foods and introducing mandatory reporting on sales of healthy food.”

Government faces questions over tax rises after Reeves warns all must contribute

Government faces questions over tax rises after Reeves warns all must contribute

Ministers are facing questions about which taxes could rise in a matter of weeks after Rachel Reeves warned everyone will “have to contribute” to securing the country’s economic future. The Chancellor was even told by the Tories to resign if she goes ahead with raising taxes in the November 26 Budget. In an unusual speech just three weeks out from the major fiscal statement, the Chancellor on Tuesday would not commit to Labour’s manifesto promises not to raise income tax, national insurance or VAT, fuelling speculation. The Budget will focus on cutting NHS waiting lists, and addressing the cost-of-living crisis, the Chancellor said, as well as reducing the burden of interest on government debt. Ms Reeves also wants to give herself a bigger buffer than the almost £10 billion she previously had against her rule of balancing day-to-day spending with tax receipts in 2029-30. She suggested she would neither cut her major spending plans, nor reach for the lever of more borrowing to meet her commitments, further hinting that tax rises are needed to sustain the public finances. The National Institute of Economic and Social Research, a major economic think tank, said the Chancellor must plug a £50 billion black hole in the nation’s public finances and give herself a larger fiscal headroom. It suggested a 2p rise in income tax was likely needed to address the hole, echoing a similar suggestion by the Resolution Foundation, another think tank which has been influential upon the Government’s thinking. The Guardian newspaper reported that Ms Reeves is planning to cut green levies from energy bills in order to slash them by £170 on average. The focus on reducing energy bills is intended to bolster Labour’s place in the polls, and mitigate the impact of expected tax hikes, the newspaper said. Elsewhere, the Times reported some senior figures within the Government are unhappy with the Chancellor’s plans. “Breaking the manifesto will mean we lose some voters forever,” said an anonymous minister quoted in the newspaper. Shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride meanwhile suggested his counterpart must stand down if she goes ahead with tax rises. The senior Tory said: “This is about choices. If Rachel Reeves breaks her word and raises taxes again, she must go. “A responsible chancellor would get a grip on spending – including the welfare bill – not reach for yet another tax rise.” But the Chancellor insisted on LBC’s Tonight With Andrew Marr that she would not take such a step. “And what do you think would happen in financial markets if I did that?” she told the broadcaster.

'Human errors' led to grooming gang cases being dropped, review finds amid huge NCA investigation

“Human errors” led to some grooming gang police investigations being dropped, the first stage of a massive review of cases involving child sexual abuse has found. Thousands of cases of rape and sexual assault are being reviewed as part of the National Crime Agency’s Operation Beaconport, which has been designed to rectify police failures to tackle grooming gangs. Almost 1,300 files from 23 police forces have been referred to the operation so far, with leaders admitting this is a “small number” of the amount the operation expects to receive. Some 236 of those already submitted are being examined as a priority because they involve allegations of rape. The Metropolitan Police last month revealed it was looking at 9,000 child exploitation cases dating back 15 years. Some are expected to be passed to Operation Beaconport for review. The development came after a Standard investigation uncovered cases of vulnerable young girls from across London who reported allegations of rape from multiple men but saw inadequate police action. NCA deputy director Nigel Leary said initial examinations suggest there were mistakes in some of the investigations. "Initial reviews have identified that in some cases where there has been a decision to take no further action (NFA), there were available lines of inquiry that could have been pursued,” he said. "We've seen in those cases what appears to be potentially human error. "We've seen in some cases that those investigations haven't followed what we would characterise as proper investigative practice, actually that would have contributed to the NFA decision. "That includes, for example, lines of inquiry being identified but not being followed, victim accounts not being taken in a way that we would recognise as best practice, and suspects not being pursued or interviewed in the ways that we would anticipate." Operation Beaconport is reviewing cases between January 1, 2010 and March 31 2025, with thousands expected to come under scrutiny. All of the cases involve two or more suspects, more than one victim and contact offences. To be included the suspects in the case must still be alive and it must not have already been independently reviewed. The cost of the scheme is not yet known. But leaders admitted it would be a “multiple year journey” and it may be “years before cases come to court”. Operation Stovewood, the investigation into grooming gangs and other non-familial sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, has cost £89 million over 11 years. "This is going to be a phenomenally large undertaking,” Mr Leary said. "It will be the most comprehensive investigation of its type in UK history. "We estimate that over the life cycle of the operation, it will involve thousands of officers from across policing." Officials confirmed they would be recording the ethnicity of suspects and victims as part of the review and have found gaps in the existing data that they are trying to fill. As they examine cases they aim to identify any dangerous suspects, and any that could potentially flee the country. Investigators have pledged to be "honest and transparent" with victims from the start, to avoid giving them unrealistic expectations. Mr Leary said: "Not all matters we review, even where they're reinvestigated, even where victim or survivor says, 'I want that to be reinvestigated', will produce a criminal justice outcome. "They won't for a variety of reasons. I think we can conduct those inquiries and those investigations in a way that is trauma informed, that's open and honest and transparent, that's realistic, where we have good communication. "My hope is that we build confidence in the process, even though the outcome in some cases will not, of course, be that which we might wish." Richard Fewkes, from the National Police Chiefs' Council, said while going after perpetrators is important, some victims will just want to feel listened to. "Justice means different things for different victims and survivors, and no one victim and survivor is the same,” he said. "For some, justice is just being believed, perhaps for the first time, by someone in authority, being listened to.”

Average London home set to cost £90,000 more by 2030

Average London home set to cost £90,000 more by 2030

London is expected to see slower than average house price growth over the next five years, new data from Savills has revealed. Whereas the average UK property is expected to see a 22 per cent rise in value by 2030, homes in London will see a more modest boost of just 13.6 per cent. With a typical London property currently valued at £683,707, this is equivalent to a £93,191 price rise over five years. Nationwide, the average property is projected to cost £79,930 more than it does now (£359,875). The Savills forecast suggests that more expensive areas, like London, will see slower house price growth over the next five years than areas where homes are currently more affordable. The South East and East of England, for example, are both expected to see lower than average house price growth, at 17 and 19.3 per cent respectively. Properties in Yorkshire and The Humber and the North East of England, though, are predicted to see the biggest percentage price increases over the next five years of anywhere in the country, at 28.8 per cent. Scotland, Wales and the North West are also anticipated to see above average price rises, all at 27.6 per cent. These regional differences in house price growth over the next five years are anticipated to have an equalising effect on property values around the country, said Savills. By 2030, values in the North West, for example, are expected to sit at just 15 per cent below the UK average; in 2020, they were almost 30 per cent lower. And in London, prices are set to be 33 per cent above average in five years, whereas they were 70 per cent higher in 2017. “Regional performance is largely influenced by where we are in the housing market cycle, said Dan Hill, research analyst at Savills. “Since 2016, we’ve been in the second half of the cycle, where the more affordable regions in the North and Scotland outperform the UK average, and capacity for growth in London and the South is more limited. “In the absence of any whole market price correction, this pattern is likely to persist for the next five years, with the strongest growth shifting to late-stage markets in the North East, Scotland and Wales.” The housing market has been more subdued this year, due in part to concerns about the economy and tax environment, said Savills. There has been speculation about changes to stamp duty, the introduction of a mansion tax and other tax rises — all of which have encouraged buyers and sellers to hold off. The autumn Budget, which will provide some answers to these questions, will take place on 26 November. “We’re also seeing a two-speed market emerge among buyers. Those who need to move are pressing ahead but negotiating hard to de-risk themselves from any tax changes that may lurk in [the] Budget,” Jonathan Hopper, chief executive of Garrington Property Finders said in October when the Office for National Statistics published its most recent house price index. “Meanwhile discretionary movers —especially those looking at higher price points— are adopting a wait-and-see approach,” explained Hopper.. “They’re unlikely to take their finger off the pause button until after the Budget, so the prime property market may remain in suspended animation until the new year.” According to Savills’ figures, house price growth is expected to remain constrained until 2027, at one per cent this year and two per cent the next. Values will grow in real terms from 2028 onwards, for the first time since 2022. In London, no growth is projected until 2027, and then only at two per cent. “Our previous forecast assumed falling interest rates would boost borrowing and investment, supporting house price growth. However, with inflation stuck at 3.8 per cent, economists are less confident about the pace in which rate cuts will happen,” said Lucian Cook, head of residential research at Savills. “Higher interest and mortgage rates next year, as well a weaker labour market, with a slight rise in unemployment and slowing wage growth, are likely to constrain price growth. “The upcoming Budget also continues to weigh on the market, although we expect any announcements to have a much greater impact on prime values and transactions than the mainstream market. “Direct changes to transactional taxes could alter the incentives that currently shape buyers’ housing decisions, while broader tax increases on certain population segments could reduce some prospective buyers’ capacity to finance home purchases. “Ultimately, however, the biggest influence on the mainstream market will come from how financial markets react to the Budget itself.” Over the next five years, increased affordability — due to lower mortgage rates and prices — is likely to drive transactions close to pre-pandemic levels. In particular, first-time buyers have seen their purchasing power grow. Last month, for example, Barclays said that the share of first-time buyers purchasing properties for over £300,000 had increased, while average mortgage rates dipped back below five per cent this month. First-time buyers are the only buyer group with activity significantly above pre-pandemic levels. Slower price growth for flats is limiting second steppers from moving upwards on the property ladder, said Savills, but as rates fall, this should start to change. “Housing is technically more accessible now than at any point in the last three years, thanks to lower mortgage rates, lower real house prices and looser mortgage regulation,” said Emily Williams, director of research at Savills. “But none of this matters unless buyers feel confident enough to commit — and weaker sentiment is holding back transactions.”

Firefighters call for funding boost as they prepare for Bonfire Night

Firefighters are calling for urgent government funding for the fire and rescue service as it prepares to tackle Bonfire Night incidents. The Fire Brigades Union (FBU) said there had been a huge increase in fires across the UK in recent years, especially those causing damage to property. FBU general secretary Steve Wright said: “The fire and rescue service is on its knees after another round of deadly funding cuts, and firefighters are working to save lives under more pressure than ever. “Latest figures show a dramatic increase in serious fire incidents, with outdoor fires rising by over 50%. “We have seen fire and rescue services pushed beyond limits responding to major wildfire incidents throughout the year, which are only predicted to worsen with the climate crisis. “The loss of one in five firefighter posts since 2010 means fire cover and resilience have been decimated across the UK. “The outcome is that it takes longer for fire engines to arrive at incidents, when every second counts. “The FBU is calling on the Government to tax the ultra rich to fund our vital public services. “To save lives, Rachel Reeves’ upcoming Budget must include a progressive wealth tax to rebuild the fire and rescue service.”

Grooming gang investigations dropped due to ‘human error’, early review suggests

Grooming gang investigations dropped due to ‘human error’, early review suggests

The early stages of a massive review of cases involving alleged sexual abuse gangs has found potential human error led to some police investigations being dropped. Thousands of cases are set to be reviewed as part of Operation Beaconport, a national project to unearth failures to tackle grooming gangs. So far 1,273 files from 23 police forces have been referred to the National Crime Agency-led review, of which 236 are being examined as a priority because they involve allegations of rape. NCA deputy director Nigel Leary said initial reviews suggest there were mistakes in some of the investigations. He told journalists: “Initial reviews have identified that in some cases where there has been a decision to take no further action (NFA), there were available lines of inquiry that could have been pursued. “We’ve seen in those cases what appears to be potentially human error. “We’ve seen in some cases that those investigations haven’t followed what we would characterise as proper investigative practice, actually that would have contributed to the NFA decision. “That includes, for example, lines of inquiry being identified but not being followed, victim accounts not being taken in a way that we would recognise as best practice, and suspects not being pursued or interviewed in the ways that we would anticipate.” Operation Beaconport is reviewing cases between January 1 2010 and March 31 2025, with thousands expected to come under scrutiny. The cost of the scheme is not yet known. Operation Stovewood, the investigation into grooming gangs and other non-familial sexual abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, has cost £89 million over 11 years. Mr Leary said: “This is going to be a phenomenally large undertaking. “It will be the most comprehensive investigation of its type in UK history. “We estimate that over the life cycle of the operation, it will involve thousands of officers from across policing.” Officials are recording the ethnicity of suspects and victims as part of the review, and have found gaps in the existing data that they are trying to fill. As they examine cases they aim to flag any dangerous suspects, and any that are at risk of fleeing the country. Investigators have pledged to be “honest and transparent” with victims from the start, to avoid giving them unrealistic expectations. Mr Leary said: “Not all matters we review, even where they’re reinvestigated, even where victim or survivor says ‘I want that to be reinvestigated’, will produce a criminal justice outcome. “They won’t for a variety of reasons. “I think we can conduct those inquiries and those investigations in a way that is trauma informed, that’s open and honest and transparent, that’s realistic, where we have good communication. “My hope is that what we do is we build confidence in the process, even though the outcome in some cases will not, of course, be that which we might wish.” Richard Fewkes, from the National Police Chiefs’ Council, said while going after perpetrators is important, some victims will just want to feel listened to. He said: “Justice means different things for different victims and survivors, and no one victim and survivor is the same. “For some, justice is just being believed, perhaps for the first time, by someone in authority, being listened to. “Or it might even be understanding that the review has taken place, a reinvestigation has taken place in an appropriate, focused, robust way, but nothing more can be done. “For some that is justice in their mind.” Last month the Metropolitan Police announced that they are reviewing 9,000 cases of child sexual exploitation. It is expected that some of these will be referred to Operation Beaconport, which is looking at cases involving two or more suspects, more than one victim, contact offences, where the suspects are still alive, and that has not already been independently reviewed. Responding to the NCA update, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said: “This Government initiated this national policing operation to track down the evil child rapists that perpetrated these crimes, and put them behind bars where they belong. “There will be no hiding place for those who abused the most vulnerable in our society.”

UK economy ‘bleeding out’ with brain drain in science and tech, peers warn

UK economy ‘bleeding out’ with brain drain in science and tech, peers warn

Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves must show “clearer leadership” to tackle a brain drain in the science and technology industry which is leading to Britain’s economy “bleeding out”, peers have warned. In a damning report, the Lords Science and Technology Committee called for Government action – including easing visa costs for highly skilled professionals – to revive growth in the sector. Ministers have laid out ambitions to make the UK “one of the top three places” to scale a business – where revenue grows much faster that costs – but the country is “sliding in the opposite direction”, the group warned. “The UK has seen a procession of promising science and technology companies moving overseas rather than scaling here,” the committee said. “The UK’s inability to retain the economic benefits of its R&D endeavour is a fatal flaw in any growth strategy.” The committee said Britain still has chance to seize “enormous opportunities for technological and economic growth” with decisive action from Government to “staunch the bleeding”. In its report on Wednesday, the cross-party group of peers reiterated its call for the “high upfront costs for… visas reserved for global talent” to be addressed in order to attract scientists and entrepreneurs to the UK. Britain “should be rolling out the red carpet rather than red tape” when highly skilled professionals in the industry want to move to the country, the committee said. The Government is reportedly examining plans to cut visa application fees for foreign academics and digital experts, and the committee said it is “critically important” it does not get “blocked by Home Office intransigence”. The report said: “The UK has a unique opportunity to attract global talent, particularly from the US, yet the Home Office’s historic unwillingness to review the barriers for high-potential talent is an absurd act of national self-harm.” Another key recommendation calls for “clearer leadership from the Prime Minister and Chancellor through a new high-level National Council for Science, Technology and Growth, modelled on the National Security Council”. The council should meet regularly and include the Prime Minister, Chancellor, science minister, high-ranking officials from other departments, key scientific advisers and public investment bodies, peers said. Its aim would be to “prioritise science and technology for growth, break down barriers to progress, and break the UK out of its doom loop”. Even during the course of the committee’s inquiry, major companies including Oxford Ionics, Deliveroo and Wise have relocated or expanded, and life sciences stalwarts like AstraZeneca are also “eyeing the exit”, chairman Lord Mair warned. He said: “If the UK is to arrest its decline, leadership and co-ordinated action is needed to rescue and strengthen its science and technology sector. “While the issues facing the UK economy are grave, with decisive and speedy action from the Prime Minister and the Chancellor, our committee believes challenges can be overcome. “The Government will need to use every lever it has to support UK-based science and technology companies and entrepreneurs, and to encourage private investors to do the same. “By unlocking institutional investment, changing the culture around innovation, and organising its efforts in procurement, public investment bodies, and regulatory reform, the UK Government can still stop the bleeding and reap enormous rewards for the nation.” A Government spokesperson said: “This Government recognises the huge role that UK science and technology play in growing our economy, which is why we are backing R&D to the tune of £86 billion in this spending review period alone. “Our first-of-its-kind digital and technologies sector plan is targeting investment, increasing skills and pushing forward regulatory reform in sectors like AI and quantum where the UK is strongest and through our global talent routes we are attracting and retaining the high-skilled talent to bolster the UK’s status as a hub for emerging innovation. “We already have a dedicated Council for Science and Technology, which reports to by the Prime Minister, to drive forward our science and tech aspirations across Government.”

New national forest confirmed for Oxford-Cambridge corridor

New national forest confirmed for Oxford-Cambridge corridor

A new “national forest” has been confirmed for the Oxford-Cambridge corridor, as part of a £1 billion investment in tree planting, the Government has said. The Government will also launch a competition early next year to determine another forest’s location in the Midlands or the north of England, as part of its manifesto commitment to establish three national forests in the country. The first of the new forests was announced in March, stretching from the Cotswolds to the Mendips in the west of England. Millions of trees will be planted in the new forest areas as part of a commitment to invest £1 billion this parliament to tree planting and support to the forestry sector. Officials said the forests would boost communities and drive economic growth, while enhancing nature and bringing trees and woodlands closer to where people live. Meeting tree planting targets, as part of efforts to tackle climate change and restore nature, could result in creating and supporting more than 14,000 jobs, the Environment Department (Defra) said. The Government will also look at bringing in a “woodland carbon purchase fund” which would offer upfront payments to landowners to plant carbon-rich woodlands to help meet targets to cut UK emissions to zero overall – known as net zero – by 2050. Making the announcement ahead of the Prime Minister’s trip to the latest UN climate talks in Belem, Brazil, Environment Secretary Emma Reynolds said: “Our woodlands are vital for regulating our climate, supporting wildlife, and increasing access to nature for us all. “We are delivering on our manifesto commitment with three new National Forests: planting is underway in the West Country, a second will be between Oxford and Cambridge and we will launch a competition for a third next year.” “Our ambitious tree planting programme will help unlock growth, restore nature and create green jobs for the future,” she added. Officials said the exact location of the “Ox-Cam” national forest would be subject to design work and discussion with partners. It will see green spaces designed alongside new homes, jobs and infrastructure in the corridor that aims to link up the leading university towns to create a region of economic growth and innovation.

‘Beautiful yet mercurial’ fen orchid brought back from brink of extinction

‘Beautiful yet mercurial’ fen orchid brought back from brink of extinction

One of Britain’s most endangered orchids has been brought back from the brink of extinction following decades of conservation work, experts said. The “beautiful yet mercurial” fen orchid (Liparis loeselii) is no longer listed as at risk of extinction in the new Great British Red List for vascular plants, published on Wednesday – a bright spot in an otherwise “stark picture” for Britain’s wild plants. The new list, produced by the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH) and covering flowering plants and ferns, marks a comprehensive review of the list since it was last published in 2005. It reveals that more than a quarter (26%) of the 1,720 native species or those introduced before 1500 AD, are threatened with extinction, falling into the critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable categories, with a further 140 listed as near threatened. Conservation experts warned that many plants which were once widespread in the British countryside are now threatened, including wildflowers such as common milkwort found in species-rich habitats, those in wetlands such as marsh-marigolds and arable field plants including rough poppy. Arctic-alpine plants such as the endangered alpine gentian are also threatened. Dr Pete Stroh, BSBI scientific officer and lead author of the new list, said: “This latest revision of the GB Red List again paints a stark picture of the state of our wild flora. “Although a few of our rarest species, such as fen orchid, have a potentially brighter future thanks to the targeted efforts of conservation organisations, and some, for example bee orchid and pyramidal orchid, are more common than they once were, many plants once widespread in our countryside have continued to decline to the point where they are now assessed as threatened.” He said the declines were linked to many factors, including more intensive agriculture, long-term neglect of landscapes, development and pollution. “All these factors are most prevalent in lowland areas, but many wild flowers of upland areas are also at risk, most notably our arctic-alpine species, with some declines linked to the symptoms of climate change.” The fen orchid is thought to be one of the few plants thought to have made it off the GB Red List due to conservation action since the system began in 1977, and is now listed as near threatened. The orchid, which has particular requirements including damp alkaline soils and bare ground and flowers fleetingly in fens and sand dunes, was historically hit by drainage and abandonment of fens, as well as collecting by plant enthusiasts. By 2010, it was reported to grow wild in just three locations in East Anglia and one dunes site in Kenfig, Wales, with the species numbering no more than 1,000 plants in total. Nature charity Plantlife has led work with a range of organisations to save the plant since 2008, building on decades of work by the Wildlife Trusts to care for remaining sites and restore former sites to suitable condition. This has enabled reintroductions of the rare orchid to more sites, and it is now found in seven locations in England and three in Wales with a population of more than 10,000 plants. Its success is in contrast to elsewhere in Europe, where it is suffering marked decline with populations shrinking through much of its range. Tim Pankhurst, a former conservation manager at Plantlife who dedicated his life’s work to protecting fen orchids before retiring in April 2025, said: “Playing a leading role in reducing the threat status of such a beautiful yet mercurial orchid is a once in a lifetime opportunity for a botanist and one I will always treasure. “As we face the enormous challenges of climate and biodiversity loss, this provides a moment of genuine hope for the future and is testament to what dedicated partnership conservation work delivered consistently over many decades can deliver.” Peter Atkinson, plants records officer at Cambridge University Botanic Garden, said the garden’s team had been investigating the life cycle of the fen orchid and maintaining a collection of plants for more than a decade. “Our field observations have deepened our understanding of the species, directly informing improved management of existing sites and helping wild populations increase from a few hundred to several thousand. “We’re now seeing strong, sustainable populations re-establishing in the wild – a clear sign that this kind of long-term, collaborative conservation really does work,” he said.

National Trust and Admiral team up to boost nature-based solutions for flooding

National Trust and Admiral team up to boost nature-based solutions for flooding

The National Trust and insurance firm Admiral have teamed up to boost flood prevention through nature-based solutions. The organisations said they will work together on large-scale landscape restoration as a way to help tackle the growing threat of flooding. The partnership, announced on Wednesday, will involve a £600,000 investment from Admiral’s green fund initiative into nature-based solution projects in three upland areas – Snowdonia in Wales, the Holnicote Estate in Somerset and in the Lake District in Cumbria. The National Trust teams will carry out a series of interventions in these areas to help the land absorb more water and slow water flow. They also hope to boost declining wildlife, including curlews, dragonflies and the return of plant species such as the water-loving sphagnum moss that helps form new carbon-absorbing peat. The Snowdonia project is currently under way, with the National Trust team working to restore the Migneint blanket bog – one of the country’s most precious and biodiverse upland habitats. The £180,000 project aims to restore around 12 hectares of the most severely eroded peatland at Waen Fraith over the next three years – equivalent to the size of three Principality stadiums. Iago Thomas, peatland officer at National Trust Cymru, said: “By rewetting the bog, we will literally see the trickle-down impact of it all, with the land absorbing more water like a sponge, slowing water flow, reducing carbon emissions, and creating thriving habitats. “The restored habitat will benefit species like curlew, a wading bird in steep decline, which requires softer ground for their young to make it easier for them to feed, as well as invertebrates like dragonflies, which need areas of open water. “Restoring peat really is a nature-based solution with real-world impact.” Work on the other two sites will get under way soon, the National Trust said. In the Lake District, the teams will start a project to create new ponds, restore rivers, and plant vegetation alongside river corridors. The aim is to restore natural river dynamics to enhance floodplain connectivity and increase water storage capacity during heavy rainfall events, the conservation charity said. Teams will also implement a monitoring system in Borrowdale, providing residents with real-time data to prepare for potential flooding. And in Somerset, teams will start work to create new wetlands early next year. They will also roll out small-scale, low-tech interventions, such as leaky dams and swales, across the landscape to manage water flow and reduce flood risks. Ben McCarthy, head of nature conservation at the National Trust, said: “This partnership with Admiral is a landmark moment. “It allows us to scale up our efforts and deliver real-world impact; to support biodiversity, build in resilience against extreme weather as well as helping to protect people. “The Welsh project will see this area of the Migneint return to being a healthy and functional blanket bog – a wetland rich in wildlife. “Here, working alongside the community, tenant farmers and others, we are demonstrating how this investment in nature will directly circle back to supporting the communities for generations to come.” Michelle Leavesley, chief sustainability officer at Admiral Group, said: “We’re investing in natural flood management solutions to strengthen flood resilience for people and nature. “For us at Admiral, protecting people’s homes means taking action beyond insurance by building understanding and resilience to the impact of changing climate and extreme weather events.”

‘Rogue’ action by countries to geoengineer climate could worsen impacts – study

‘Rogue’ action by countries to geoengineer climate could worsen impacts – study

Geoengineering to reduce temperatures in one part of the world could worsen droughts and hurricanes elsewhere, scientists have warned. A report on the current science around techniques to reflect some sunlight back into space – known as solar radiation modification (SRM) – has found that internationally co-ordinated deployment could reduce global temperatures and some of the impacts of climate change. But the briefing from the Royal Society warned the hypothetical techniques, which are likely decades from deployment, are no substitute for action to cut the greenhouse gas emissions pushing up global temperatures. And “unilateral” action by individual nations could cause serious impacts for others, the study’s authors said. Interest in geoengineering techniques to curb climate change has grown as efforts to cut greenhouse emissions to limit global warming to 1.5C or “well below” 2C above pre-industrial levels have faltered. The latest UN assessment ahead of climate talks in Brazil put the world on track for up to 2.8C of warming on current measures. But there are serious concerns about the technological feasibility and ethical questions around deploying geoengineering methods to curb climate change. Reaching out to experts as part of the Royal Society report highlighted the two options for reflecting sunlight from the Earth that are thought to be most effective for inducing a 1C reduction in global temperatures and the relatively lowest technical barriers. These are stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI), a process which would mimic the natural cooling impacts of volcanic eruptions by injecting sulphur dioxide that rapidly becomes reflective particles in the stratosphere, and marine cloud brightening (MCB) which increases the reflective capacity of clouds. The SAI technique would require planes to fly higher than most aircraft can currently manage, while the MCB could involve spraying saltwater from ships in a technology that is “embryonic”, report author Prof Keith Shine said. Other techniques such as mirrors in space are seen as highly technically challenging. The report found robust evidence that if SRM was deployed globally, it could reduce global temperatures and some impacts such as sea level rises, wildfires and extreme rainfall. But there are still major uncertainties about how much cooling it could achieve, and if it could make some impacts worse on a regional basis. For example, deploying SAI in the northern hemisphere only could lead to drought in the Sahel region of Africa, while using it only in the southern hemisphere could increase North Atlantic hurricane frequency and intensity. Deploying SAI in the tropics could affect ozone levels in the stratosphere and lead to winter droughts in the Mediterranean, while inducing marine cloud brightening in the south-east Atlantic could lead to die-back of the Amazon rainforest. The study also warned that the geoengineering methods would not stop consequences of greenhouse gas emissions such as making the oceans more acidic, and would only mask other climate impacts. If SRM was halted, temperatures would rapidly rebound to where they would be without the techniques being used, causing rates of warming that are damaging to ecosystems, the assessment found. The report’s authors warned the techniques should only be used to complement strategies to cut emissions, “not as the main policy response to climate change”. Report author Prof Jim Haywood, from the University of Exeter, said: “If policy makers took a decision to deploy SRM, it must be scientifically informed, globally coordinated and internationally agreed upon, ie, judicious. “Injudicious SRM could worsen rather than ease some climate impacts of global warming, particularly at a regional level,” he warned. “It has to be globally coordinated, and you would not want this to be done by a single rogue actor who was acting in their own best interest,” he said. Professor Sheila Rowan, from the University of Glasgow, added: “Unilateral action by individual nations could cause serious regional impacts for others.” The Royal Society does not take a position on whether research into SRM techniques should be pursued or not. But Prof Shine said: “We are quite clear in the report that any research into SRM shouldn’t detract from efforts to mitigate emissions”. And policymakers would have to weigh up the risks of geoengineering measures against the threats posed by insufficient efforts to mitigate climate change. With costs for measures such as SAI estimated to be in the low tens of billions of dollars a year, the price tag would not be the “showstopper”, with other things to be more worried about than the financial implications, he added.

New technology will eliminate call spoofing ‘within a year’ – minister

New technology will eliminate call spoofing ‘within a year’ – minister

Mobile networks including BT EE, VodafoneThree and Virgin Media O2 are to block foreign call centres from impersonating banks in a crackdown to eliminate call spoofing “within a year”. New call tracing technology will “hunt down” scammers and victims will receive faster support, the Home Office said. The agreement between the Government and industry will see a raft of measures to safeguard the UK’s mobile network from fraud. The increased protection will involve identifying the provider that connects the call to the customer and asking who they got the call from, with the process continuing “upstream” until the source of the call is identified, the Home Office said. Victims will also see swifter support from phone networks, with help times to be cut to two weeks. Scam calls and texts are a daily frustration for many, with criminals based abroad often impersonating trusted organisations like banks and government departments to deceive people to steal money or personal information. Britain’s biggest mobile networks have committed to upgrade their network within the next year to eliminate the ability for foreign call centres to spoof UK numbers. Figures suggest that 96% of mobile users decide whether to answer a call based on the number displayed on their screen, with three-quarters unlikely to pick up if it is an unknown international number. Advanced call tracing technology will also be rolled out across mobile networks to give police the intelligence to track down scammers operating across the country and dismantle their operations. AI will also be deployed to identify and block suspicious calls and texts, halting scammers before they can reach users’ mobiles. Minister for Fraud, Lord Hanson, said: “Spoofed calls allow scammers to deceive the public with fake identities and false promises. This Government is committed to tackling fraud. “In a major upgrade of our mobile network, call spoofing will be eliminated within a year – stripping away the tools scammers use to cheat people out of their hard-earned cash. “We’re stepping up our defences to protect victims and make sure the UK is the hardest place in the world for scammers to operate.” The measures form part of the new Telecoms Charter, which brings together government and mobile networks to crack down on scam calls. Signatories include BT EE, Virgin Media O2, VodafoneThree, Tesco Mobile, Talk Talk, Sky and Comms Council UK (CCUK). The pact follows recent action by the UK Government, in partnership with the US, to disrupt major online fraud networks with targeted sanctions on scam centres in south-east Asia. Brian Webb, chairman of the Communications Crime Strategy Group, said: “Fraud is a threat to us all. And so we must all act to tackle it. “As the voice of crime and security for the telecommunications sector, the Communications Crime Strategy Group are glad to play our part. “Through the actions we’ve agreed in this Charter, the telecoms sector will make the UK a harder target for fraudsters, and a safer place for the public. “The actions that we have committed to will deliver real change – from expanding trusted data sharing and enhancing call security, to using artificial intelligence responsibly, and supporting victims with compassion and speed. “Together, these commitments form a promise: that the telecoms industry will play its full part in tackling the fraud epidemic that the UK faces.”

UK ‘sliding into avoidable crisis’, major review into workplace sickness warns

UK ‘sliding into avoidable crisis’, major review into workplace sickness warns

The UK is “sliding into an avoidable crisis”, the author of a major review on how to keep people in work has warned as he urged a reduced reliance on fit notes amid an “enormous” cost to employers from ill health among workers. Former John Lewis boss Sir Charlie Mayfield’s report found that poor workplace health costs UK employers around £85 billion a year. It also warned that Britons being unable to work due to ill health is costing the country around 7% of GDP (gross domestic product). Sir Charlie said there is “broad recognition that Britain is facing a quiet but urgent crisis”, with ill health now one of the biggest drivers of economic inactivity in the UK. His review, published on Wednesday, told of a culture of fear among workers around ill health, a lack of an effective or consistent support system for employers and employees in managing health, and structural challenges for disabled people. He has proposed a new approach where responsibility for health at work is shared between employers, employees and health services rather than being left to the worker and the NHS. While Sir Charlie said employers must do more to help their employees, he warned that workers must play their part. He wrote: “Work can be demanding. Setbacks are part of life. Health and work are not always easy partners, but they are mutually reinforcing.” Sir Charlie said that while supportive workplaces matter, “so does personal responsibility”, as he warned that disengaging from work and potential support “leads to detachment and dependency”. He described fit notes – sometimes known as sick notes – as “often problematic”, becoming a “barrier to contact, further embedding distance between employer and employee”. Sir Charlie said GPs are being asked to assess both the treatment needs of a patient and their capacity to work “despite most lacking occupational health training and time to get into sufficient detail”. He reiterated that 93% of fit notes in England deem the patient “not fit for work” and are “often” extended without further consultation. The Government has long argued too many people are being written off and out of work. Previously published statistics show that more than one in five working-age people are now out of work and not looking for work – higher than many comparator countries – and that bringing the UK employment rate to 80% would add two million people to the workforce. There are 800,000 more people out of work now than in 2019 due to health problems and, the review states, “without decisive action to address this trend, projections show we are on track to add another 600,000 by 2030”. It adds that the increase in 16 to 34-year-olds with a mental health condition who are economically inactive due to long-term sickness is “particularly concerning”, rising by 190,000 (76%) between 2019 and 2024. Barriers to work for disabled people are “particularly stark”, the review said, with only 53% of this group in work. The review said the economic cost at stake “is enormous”, citing the estimated £85 billion a year in lost output to employers, as well as the additional burden in welfare payments and NHS demand of around £47 billion each year. It noted the “wider cost to the economy of lower participation, and the human and social costs of lost opportunity, stalled careers, and reduced life chances”. Sir Charlie said: “Britain is sliding into an avoidable crisis. Ill health has become one of the biggest brakes on growth and opportunity. But this is not inevitable.” Among its recommendations, the review called for the adoption of a workplace health provision, which it described as a non-clinical case management service supporting employees and line managers across a so-called healthy working lifecycle. It said this approach, offering support and advice and early intervention, could be integrated with the NHS App and reduce or replace the need for the current fit note. The Government said more than 60 employers – including the British Beer and Pub Association, Burger King, John Lewis and Google UK – have expressed interest in becoming so-called vanguard employers to pioneer the overall new approach. This would involve a three-year phase focused on how to address mental health at work, retention of older people in work and improved participation and retention of disabled people in work. Sir Charlie said: “Employers are uniquely placed to make a difference, preventing health issues where possible, supporting people when they arise, and helping them return to work. “If we keep Britain working, everyone wins – people, employers, and the state. “That’s why the action the Government is taking forward from my review is so important. “I’m looking forward to working with them and with employers, large and small, to keep people in work, unlock potential and build a healthier, more prosperous Britain.” Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said Sir Charlie’s message is “crystal clear: keeping people healthy and in work is the right thing to do and is essential for economic growth”. He added: “Business is our partner in building a productive workforce – because when businesses retain talent and reduce workplace ill health, everyone wins. “That’s why we’re acting now to launch employer-led vanguards as part of the plan for change, driving economic growth and opportunity across the country.” Business Secretary Peter Kyle said: “Many more people could remain in work if they receive the right support – and that’s exactly what today’s action is about. “That’s why Keep Britain Working is bringing together the expertise of leading UK businesses to help prevent ill health at work wherever possible, and to support those affected (to) stay in work.” James Watson-O’Neill, from national disability charity Sense, said he welcomed the report’s focus on encouraging employers to improve how they support disabled employees, but warned the Government must not cut funding for the Access to Work scheme which supports disabled people into work and reiterated calls for welfare benefits not to be slashed. He said: “The Government must also recognise that cutting welfare benefits will only add to financial insecurity and anxiety, making it even harder for people to focus on finding or keeping a job. “Real progress requires investment in support, not cuts to essential lifelines.” The Society of Occupational Medicine also expressed support for the review’s recommendations, saying: “Helping people remain in good work is a win-win-win situation for employers, employees and for the nation.” Learning disability charity Mencap said it hoped the review “will not only boost the economy but also create a fairer society – helping people with a learning disability to get on to the career ladder and reach their full potential”. The Resolution Foundation think tank said the Government should fast-track the three-year trial phase of the vanguard taskforce, “ensure that the taskforce is sufficiently resourced, and then move quickly from the vanguard phase to full deployment – including the establishment of the Workplace Health Intelligence Unit”. The unit, as recommended in the report, would “aggregate and analyse data” to provide evidence for what works, including targeted financial, operational, legal and cultural incentives, going forward.

Michael Rosen: Climate change education should be woven throughout curriculum

Poets going into schools can help teach children about climate change without making them feel “guilty or responsible”, author Michael Rosen has said. Rosen has said he would like to see positive examples of climate action woven throughout the UK curriculum. More than 20 poets have been matched with climate scientists to deliver climate education in schools through poetry as part of an initiative called “Hot Poets Ignite”. Rosen, who has written one of the poems, told the PA News Agency the initiative hopes to talk to pupils about climate change, “about the urgency for us to be taking action and looking at wonderful initiatives that are taking place”. The poems will avoid “the pitfalls of someway or another making children feel guilty or responsible, because clearly they’re not”, he said. “There’s an element of optimism, hope, and trying to avoid the sense sense of doom or guilt which sometimes hangs about in the air, not deliberately, in some of this talk about climate change.” Rosen, author of We’re Going On A Bear Hunt, said he thinks the curriculum teaches children about climate change well in science and geography, but that he would like to see it woven throughout other subjects. “Poetry is basically another tool in your box to explain this, and the scientists we’ve met are very keen on it,” Rosen told PA. The initiative is targeted at key stage 2 and younger key stage 3 pupils, he added. Climate change “is clearly one of the key issues of the day, possibly the key issue of the day, because the human race is in danger,” Rosen said. Schools can apply for a visit by the Hot Poets. Other participating poets include former Children’s Laureate Joseph Coelho, Vanessa Kisuule, Bohdan Piasecki, Kate Fox, Testament, Christian Foley and Valerie Bloom. Each poet has produced an original children’s poem, covering topics like wind energy, cycling – and whale poo. All the poems are brought together in a new book called Wonder. Thunder. Blunder. The initiative has also developed resources with Oxford University’s Climate Research Network and UCL’s Centre for Climate Change and Sustainability Education, which include video lessons led by Rosen. Hot Poets co-director Chris Redmond said children are experiencing “considerable climate anxiety and are starting their adult life with a sense of existential threat and a perception that it’s too late and there’s nothing to be done. “We need to change that. It’s simply not true, but the current requirements of the national curriculum are focused on problems rather than solutions. Teachers want better information and different ways to teach it.” The Government launched a review of curriculum and assessment last year, and has today confirmed it will make citizenship compulsory in primary schools, which will include climate education. The new curriculum will be implemented in full for first teaching from September 2028. Speaking about the wider curriculum, Rosen also told PA the amount of standardised testing in the current curriculum is “too much”. Labour has already announced plans to bring in a new statutory reading test for year 8 pupils as part of its curriculum reform. The Guardian reported at the weekend education secretary Bridget Phillipson urged those opposing the introduction of the reading test to “really think carefully about whether they can justify the shocking outcomes that we see for too many working-class kids in our country.” “They talk with one side of their mouth saying that the system hasn’t worked,” Rosen said. “With the other side, they’re saying: ‘Let’s do more of the same’.” “Nearly all secondary schools do a bit of formative testing when most children arrive in year 7,” he added. “So there’s going to be testing, year 6, year 7, year 8… What’s the point of this? Why so much testing?” He instead called for lower-stakes formative testing that would lower the stress and leave teachers under less “pressure to teach to the test”. As part of its response to the curriculum review, the Government has said it will work to reduce GCSE exam time by 2.5 to three hours for the average student. The poets will perform at the Southbank Imagine Festival in February, and Rosen will deliver a special performance for National Poetry Day in 2026. Cambridge University Press & Assessment global director of climate education Christine Ozden said: “When students encounter climate education in creative, positive ways at school, for example through poetry, they build awareness and understanding, strengthen communication and critical thinking skills, and develop a sense of agency and hope.”

Bank warns of spike in purchase fraud ahead of Christmas shopping season

Bank warns of spike in purchase fraud ahead of Christmas shopping season

Shoppers are being warned about a spike in purchase fraud ahead of the festive shopping season. TSB’s analysis of its data indicated that purchase scams accounted for 63% of bank transfer fraud cases reported between January and September 2025 by its customers – up from 52% across the same period last year. The bank also recorded an 11% annual increase in the volume of purchase fraud cases between January and September 2025. It said that victims lost an average of £452 per scam this year. Many purchase scams start on social media, the bank said, with scammers advertising fake listings of popular or hard-to-find items. Concert and football tickets, trainers, children’s toys, home repairs, games consoles and other tech, vehicle deposits and car parts are among the items or services commonly advertised by scammers, TSB said. It is also warning of criminals asking for deposits for pets, particularly cats and dogs. Richard Daniels, director of fraud prevention at TSB, said: “As we enter the busy shopping period, scammers will also be ramping up their activity with fake listings for goods and services that simply don’t exist. “With so much fraud coming from social media platforms, we would advise consumers to only pay for an item if you can view and verify in person – stay safe online during the sales and into Christmas.” Lynette Owens, vice president of consumer education and marketing at cybersecurity firm Trend Micro, said: “As we head into the busiest shopping season, scammers are taking advantage of the pressure to save money and shop fast. “The surge in purchase scams isn’t just about fake ads or phoney sellers. “These are calculated, convincing cons that prey on our trust and urgency and are designed, with the help of AI (artificial intelligence), to trick people into handing over their money without a second thought.” She added: “It’s about recognising manipulation that feels convincing. “With the use of AI, scammers are personalising their attacks at a scale and speed that we’ve not seen before.” Stuart Morris, chief technology and product officer at compliance and anti-fraud firm SmartSearch, said: “Consumers must embrace constant vigilance. “My advice is simple; never click links in unexpected messages – always go directly to the retailer’s official site and challenge urgency. “Fraudsters rely on the ‘fear of missing out’ to bypass critical thinking. If a deal seems too good to be true, it is.” Here are some suggestions from Mr Daniels for avoiding purchase scams ahead of Christmas: 1. Be cautious of deals offering popular items that are sold out elsewhere. 2. Choose your payment method wisely. Paying by credit card can give people protections under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act if something goes wrong with the purchase. It means the credit card company can potentially be held liable if there is a problem. Section 75 may apply if the goods or services cost more than £100 and up to £30,000. 3. Try to stick to trusted websites and platforms with secure payment options. 4. Do your research and check seller reviews and profiles carefully.

Jude Bellingham delivers verdict on Liverpool fans as Trent Alexander-Arnold is booed on Anfield return

Jude Bellingham says Liverpool fans booing Trent Alexander-Arnold is not a real reflection of how they feel about their former player. Alexander-Arnold returned to Anfield on Tuesday night for the first time following his summer transfer to Real Madrid, and feelings among Liverpool supporters were evidently still raw prior to kick-off. The word "rat" was repeatedly daubed over a mural, located near Liverpool's stadium, celebrating Alexander-Arnold’s achievements at the club. While, the vandalism was removed before the Champions League clash got underway, a large portions of fans vented their anger towards the defender throughout the encounter. Alexander-Arnold had to contend with more abuse inside the stadium with some fans chanting obscenities as he warmed up in the second half. Then when he replaced Arda Guler in the 81st minute, loud jeers rang around all sides of the stadium and the boos continued each time he touched the ball. However, Bellingham - who played the full 90 minutes and was booked - is of the opinion that Liverpool fans are still appreciative of what Alexander-Arnold has done for the club. "Obviously, it is one of those things in football,” the midfielder told Amazon Prime. “The fans booing isn't a reflection of how they feel about him. "I think it is more to give their team the edge and throw him off a little bit. I am sure they're appreciative of what he has done for the club. It is one of those things." To make matters worse for Alexander-Arnold, he was on the losing side in the Champions League showdown as Alexis Mac Allister’s second half goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.

'Worried about my business': The New Yorker who's lead plaintiff in Trump tariff case

When Victor Schwartz abandoned the world of banking in the 1980s for the vineyards of France, his unorthodox career choice unknowingly put him on a collision course with President Donald Trump and the signature issue of his second administration. Schwartz, the founder of a wine and liquor importing business in New York, is now the lead plaintiff suing President Donald Trump over his sweeping global tariffs -- a case whose outcome could not only roil the global economy but also, he argues, destroy Schwartz’s family business. "I'm worried about my business, and I'm worried about a lot of other businesses in this country," Schwartz told ABC News. "It's a very, very tight, tight situation, and you're going to see companies go out of business over this. It's a terrible, terrible burden." Ahead of Wednesday’s Supreme Court oral argument, Schwartz projected confidence about the strength of his case. Two lower courts have ruled in favor of Schwartz and four other businesses that worked together to challenge the tariffs. Their case is being heard alongside a case brought by another small business as well as a coalition of state attorneys general. "I feel great for a number of reasons,” he said. "We’ve got a great case." However, Schwartz acknowledged that the ongoing national conversation about tariffs, led by Trump, has been frustrating to witness. Trump has argued that tariffs will raise hundreds of billions from foreign companies and rejuvenate the American economy. "I cannot say this enough times, foreign entities are not paying the tariffs. American companies are paying the tariffs. I am paying the tariffs, and soon consumers will be seeing the cost increases," he said. "They're gloating all over, all the billions of dollars that they're collecting, they think it's great. What they don't say is they're collecting it from American businesses. It's an incredible burden, and especially a credible burden, on small businesses." With the wine and spirits importing already a small-margin business, Schwartz said that the fluctuating cost of tariffs -- combined with the weakening of the U.S. dollar and the shift away from alcohol drinking -- has significantly hurt his bottom line. The nature of the alcohol business in the New York tri-state area, he added, makes it even harder to adjust to the tariffs. "We can't just change our prices if we feel like it," he said. "We have to post our prices in New York and New Jersey over a month ahead of time, and that means we say what everybody pays for a case of wine, what the discounts are if you buy three cases of wine or 10 cases of wine, we can't just change that, because some underlying factor changes." Schwartz said he’s grateful for the chance to challenge the tariffs in court, According to Jeffrey Schwab, Senior Counsel and Interim Director of Litigation at the Liberty Justice Center, Schwartz and the other small business owners were selected after speaking with approximately 50 businesses owners that were concerned about the tariffs. "I think we ended up with five that we thought would be good plaintiffs, that they wanted to be plaintiffs," he said. "They understood the magnitude of the case, the fact that we would be suing the President of the United States, that kind of thing." As he prepared to hear the Supreme Court arguments on Wednesday, Schwartz said he couldn’t be more aware of the stakes of going up against the President in a case that could determine the long-term viability of his business. "Going up against the executive branch, going up against Trump, you know, they take no prisoners. There's a lot at stake," he said.

Protesters target defence expo

Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-CEO Alex Ryvchin has accused anti-Israel activists of latching onto other protest movements to maintain relevance following violent clashes at a Sydney defence conference. “Since the end of the war, we have seen anti-Israel activists latch onto other protest movements in order to maintain their relevance, have something to do, and grow their numbers. But Australians have seen through their lies and manipulations,” said Ryvchin. “They now claim to be anti-war yet many cheered Hamas’s invasion and the subsequent attacks by Iran and Hezbollah. We also offer our support to the men and women of the police, who are trying to do their jobs, keep Australians safe, in the face of relentless abuse, intimidation and in some cases, violence by protestors.” NSW Police charged 12 people following the protest outside the Indo Pacific International Maritime Exposition at the Sydney International Convention Centre on Tuesday morning. According to the ABC, riot squad, dog and mounted unit police briefly clashed with protesters as they shouted chants and waved Palestinian flags, with officers deploying pepper spray multiple times into the crowd.
