https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61982431 Tariffs on steel imports that were due to expire will be retained for a further two years, the government said. International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said the plans departed from the UK's "international legal obligations" but was in the "national interest" to protect steel makers. She added the decision was made due to "global disruptions" to energy markets and supply chains. British steel producers are under pressure from soaring energy prices. Steelmaking is a key industry for some parts of the UK, where it employs 34,000 people and turns over £2bn annually. Without controls the government has warned the supply of steel into the UK could rise substantially, harming local manufacturers. UK Steel previously said ending the import controls could cause as much as £150m a year in damage. Speaking at the G7 summit in Germany at the weekend, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said keeping the import controls on foreign steel would protect metal manufacturers. But there were concerns such a decision could breach international law as the question of extending tariffs on steel imports is seen as potentially breaking World Trade Organization (WTO) commitments. Ms Trevelyan said the decision "departs from our international legal obligations" of a WTO agreement. "However, from time to time, issues may arise where the national interest requires action to be taken," she added. 'Cheaper energy needed' The limits on steel imports were first introduced by the European Union in 2018 in response to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. The controls were mirrored by the UK after Brexit. The restrictions, which add a tax to steel imports once a certain quota has been reached, are known as "steel safeguards" because they are designed to protect the domestic market from surges of cheap steel from overseas. Mr Johnson said: "We need British steel to be provided with much cheaper energy." The controls are currently in place for 15 categories of steel. While controls protecting 10 of those categories have already been extended to 2024, import limits on five categories were set to expire on 30 June, before the government extended them for two years. Steelmaking accounts for just 0.1% of the UK economy - but the material being used in crucial sectors, from defence to transport, means that it's considered an important industry to shelter from cheaper imports. That's why the EU applied tariffs to some types of foreign steel, primarily on steel from China, in 2018, when the UK was a member. Now the UK has chosen to roll over many of those controls. The move, which has been expected for some months, was reported as one reason for the resignation of the Prime Minister's ethics adviser Lord Geidt - but he later dismissed the issue as a "distraction". The Trade Secretary Anne Marie Trevelyan admits the extension of tariffs could be at odds with World Trade Organization rules - but claims it reflects exceptionally challenging times for the industry, especially in light of high energy costs. She has consulted other countries in the hope of avoiding a challenge, in the process attracting controversy for missing a parliamentary hearing on the Australian trade deal. With the EU and US also retaining similar tariffs, it underlines the tough choices between removing trade barriers, and protecting national businesses. 2px presentational grey line Alasdair McDiarmid, operations director of the steelworkers' union Community, welcomed the extension saying it was "extremely important". "Government made the right call because giving up our safeguards, when the EU and US are maintaining theirs, would leave us exposed to import surges threatening thousands of jobs," he said. Ms Trevelyan said maintaining tariffs would help defend a strategic industry and that British steel producers could face "serious injury" were the measures not maintained. "The government is therefore actively engaged with interested parties, including those outside the UK on the future of the UK safeguards and has listened to the concerns raised," she added. The largest British trade body representing the industry, UK Steel, said the measures were "absolutely vital to the long-term health of the steel industry in the UK". "Deficient or absent safeguards measures risk trade diversion away from shielded markets elsewhere, resulting in surges of imports into the UK," said Richard Warren, head of policy and external affairs at UK Steel. Nick Thomas-Symonds, Labour's shadow international trade secretary, said: "The extension of safeguards will come as a welcome relief to the steel sector. "It is not anti-competitive to provide a level playing field for our steel industry," he said. "I also support the decision to exclude Ukrainian steel." But some criticised the move, saying it would stifle the supply of much-needed steel not produced in the UK. Despite being a "step in the right direction," the Confederation of British Metalworkers boss Steve Morley said, the tariffs raise the "very real prospect of lost orders and production being moved away from the UK." "British steel mills have not been able to supply the... materials our members need to support critical domestic and export supply chains, nor are they likely to be able to do so in the near future," he said.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-61976937 Japan is sweltering under the hottest day yet of its worst heatwave since records began in 1875. The blistering heat has drawn official warnings of a looming power shortage, and led to calls for people to conserve energy where possible. But the government is still advising people to use air conditioning to avoid heatstroke as cases of hospitalisation rise with the heat. Weather officials warn the heat is likely to continue in the coming days. Heatwaves have become more frequent, more intense, and last longer because of human-induced climate change. The world has already warmed by about 1.1C since the industrial era began and temperatures will keep rising unless governments around the world make steep cuts to emissions. Tokyo charted temperatures above 35C on Wednesday for a fifth straight day, marking the worst documented streak of hot weather in June since records started in 1875. Meanwhile, the city of Isesaki, north-west of the capital, saw a record 40.2C - the highest temperature ever recorded in June for Japan. Social media users took to Twitter to lament the soaring temperatures. "It's too hot outside and just being out ... means I'm in a self-sauna. I want to bathe in the water," remarked one user. "I've been outside since morning, and almost melting from this extreme heat," tweeted another. A third user wrote "So hot that the fire alarm at our workplace got short-circuited," with a clip of what appeared to be water sprinklers going off at a plant nursery. June is usually considered the rainy season for Japan, but the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) declared an end to the season for Tokyo and its surrounding areas on Monday. The announcement - which came 22 days earlier than normal - marks the earliest end to the rainy season since 1951. Cases of heatstroke have also spiked amidst the sweltering heat, with emergency services saying on Wednesday at least 76 people had been taken to hospital. On Tuesday, local officials issued calls for people to reduce their energy consumption amidst warnings of a power crunch. But it advised to do so in moderation to lower the risk of heatstroke, especially amongst the country's elderly.

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/best-cars/top-10-best-family-electric-cars Full-size, daily-usable electric vehicles have been a long time in rising to prominence, but they’ve now well and truly arrived, with more options available to buyers than ever before. Because the battery pack is usually hidden in the floor, many are SUVs, but there are some hatchbacks, saloons and crossovers to choose from also. Battery technology has come a long way here, bringing down prices of new EVs and also making range anxiety much less of a problem than it used to be. Charging infrastructure still leaves much to be desired, but if you can charge at home, you may never need to visit a public charger. Add in the fact that EVs let you travel in silence and produce zero emissions, are exempt from road tax and the London Congestion Charge, and qualify for low benefit-in-kind taxes as fleet options, and they start to become a truly viable family transport picks. While we have yet to see many true driver’s cars with electric power, the instant, silent punch, uninterrupted by gearchanges that even fairly basic EVs offer will surprise and delight many drivers used to conventional powertrains. This is a list of our top 10 electric cars for families, compiled considering factors such as range, usability, driving dynamics and value for money. Some EVs are still subject to relatively high prices compared with combustion-engined cars, but their premiums can be offset against lower running costs. 20 years ago, it would have been surprising to see a list like this dominated by Korean car-makers Hyundai and Kia, but the duo have not only managed to build a range of impressive mainstream cars, they were also quick out of the gate with electric versions of regular cars. The Ioniq 5 is the start of one of them getting truly serious about EVs, and it's built on a bespoke EV model platform with 800-volt electronic architecture. An 800v system allows for much faster charging and the only others doing something similar are the Porsche Taycan and Audi E-Tron GT. Pretty good company. It’s not just a technical exercise. The Ioniq 5 draws attention with its distinctive retro-futuristic design and modern, high-quality interior. Despite its size and weight, the Hyundai suprisingly engaging to drive, with strong performance, decent grip and just enough adjustability to keep things interesting. It's also a lovely relaxing cruiser, with good noise suppression, a comfortable ride, and a really convincing luxury aura that suits an electric car perfectly. Good packaging means that space in the back is more than generous, with a usable boot. The long-range rear-wheel drive version (the dual motor four-wheel drive model has been dropped from the range for now) narrowly saw off the Skoda Enyaq in a recent group test, proving a more engaging drive and winning over our tester with its more daring design. The range starts from £39,400 for a 168bhp rear-wheel drive car with a 240-mile range, rising to at least £44,400 for a 281-mile, 214bhp version.

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61783514 Petrol prices hit a record 185p per litre on Sunday, as ministers asked for an urgent review into whether the fuel duty cut is being passed on to drivers. But the AA said petrol pump prices "should be grinding to a halt, at least temporarily, by the end of the week", as wholesale prices flatten. Soaring fuel prices have been driven by the war in Ukraine and moves to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian oil. Motoring groups have called on the government to do more to help drivers. The RAC said a further cut to fuel duty would be "very welcome, albeit overdue". "The speed and scale of the increase is staggering with unleaded going up 7p in a week and diesel by nearly 6p," the group's fuel spokesman Simon Williams said. "This must surely put more pressure on the government to take action to ensure drivers don't endure a summer of discontent at the pumps." Meanwhile, diesel prices fell back slightly on Sunday to 190.92p per litre, after reaching a new record of 191.03p per litre on Saturday. It means the average cost of filling a 55-litre family car with diesel is now £105.01, while the price for a petrol car is £101.77. Retailers base their prices on the wholesale cost of petrol and diesel but there is typically a two-week lag for pump prices to reflect any changes in wholesale prices due to the time it takes for fuel to reach forecourts. The AA said the wholesale price of petrol had been lower than its peak before the Jubilee bank holiday for more than 10 days. However, wholesale diesel prices are continuing to rise. The AA's fuel price spokesman, Luke Bosdet, said: "Diesel's relentless surge in costs remains a nightmare, with its knock-on impact for the cost of delivery of goods and services, and therefore inflation." He added that the "extremely volatile" petrol market meant "only time will tell whether the recent fall in costs is a brief pause or a longer-term reversal". On Monday, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) confirmed it would carry out a "short and focused review" of the fuel market, after Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng asked the watchdog to look at whether the 5p duty cut is being passed on to drivers quickly enough. Mr Kwarteng said the review would also examine whether there are price variations between local forecourts and has asked the CMA to report back by 7 July. The Petrol Retailers Association, which represents independent fuel retailers, has said it welcomes "transparency regarding fuel pricing" and will cooperate with the CMA's investigation. The association says its members have passed on the fuel duty cut after it was announced in March, but wholesale fuel prices have continued to rise since then, leaving retailers "operating on extremely tight margins". The AA has also backed a further fuel duty cut. The organisation's president, Edmund King, told the BBC: "The government is still making 8.74p more in VAT than they were this time last year... so there is money there for another possible duty cut." He said retailers should also publish fuel wholesale prices alongside pump prices. "That does seem to increase competition locally in places where it's currently done, like Austria and Northern Ireland," he said. Mr King added that there were price differences of up to 8p a litre between local garages and supermarkets. Some petrol stations are already charging far higher than average prices, with one retailer in west London charging nearly £2.50 a litre.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-61780861 An Australian newspaper has removed a gossip column and its writer has offered an apology after being accused of outing actress Rebel Wilson. On Friday, Wilson shared a picture of her with her new partner, saying she had found her "Disney princess". But the following day, the Sydney Morning Herald wrote they'd known about the relationship before it was public. Their celebrity reporter said he had given Wilson 1.5 days to provide comment for a story. That report sparked widespread criticism on social media, with LGBTQ+ campaigners saying it was unacceptable to put pressure on people to come out. A Stonewall spokesperson said: "Coming out is a deeply personal decision. Whether, when and how to come out should be decided by the individual, entirely on their terms. "It is simply not OK to 'out' LGBTQ+ people or put pressure on us to come out. Media outlets should take care not to sensationalise LGBTQ+ lives and relationships." In response, the newspaper denied pressuring Wilson, saying it had "simply asked questions". But on Monday, amid continued public backlash, columnist Andrew Hornery admitted they had "mishandled steps in our approach". "It is not the Herald's business to 'out' people and that is not what we set out to do. But I understand why my email has been seen as a threat. The framing of it was a mistake." He also said that "as a gay man, I'm well aware of how deeply discrimination hurts" and that he would not wish to "inflict that pain on someone else". He included in his Monday column the email he had sent Wilson's representatives last Thursday morning. In it he had written that he had "enough detail to publish" and "several sources", before specifying a Friday 13:00 deadline. "In the interests of transparency and fairness, before publishing I am reaching out to Rebel to see if she will engage….," he'd written. Wilson did not respond to the email before making her own post on Friday. She has not directly acknowledged the newspaper's actions. But in response to a Twitter post saying it wasn't her choice to come out, the 42-year-old Australian actress, who is known for roles in Bridesmaids and Pitch Perfect among others, said it was a "very hard situation but trying to handle it with grace". Wilson's post about her relationship with leisurewear designer Ramona Agruma prompted a wave of congratulations from fans and famous friends - along with more than 1.6 million likes. But in his original column, Hornery claimed that Wilson had "opted to gazump the story" after he'd been in touch. He added that "her choice to ignore our discreet, genuine and honest queries was, in our view, underwhelming". In Monday's note he acknowledged "the tone of my column on Saturday was also off". "I got it wrong," he admitted. "I allowed my disappointment to cast a shadow over the piece. That was not fair and I apologise." The newspaper's editor, Bevan Shields, was also criticised when he issued an 'editors note' on Sunday defending the report. In it he denied the paper had outed Wilson, saying the newsroom had made no decision on whether a report would have been published. He wrote: "Like other mastheads do every day, we simply asked questions and as standard practice included a deadline for a response.
