https://www.bbc.com/news/business-61795693 Motoring and car industry groups have criticised the government's decision to end grants worth £1,500 towards buying electric cars. The Department for Transport said the plug-in subsidy scheme was being closed with immediate effect. It said funding would now be "refocussed" towards improving electric vehicle charging. But the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said the move "sends the wrong message". The RAC motoring group also warned the decision could "stifle" the ambition to shift most people into electric cars. The grant scheme, which first started in 2011, was designed to make buying new electric vehicles more affordable by providing a discount. The amount that drivers could claim was reduced from £2,500 to £1,500 in December. Electric cars priced under £32,000 were eligible. The scheme has been used to buy nearly 500,000 cars over the past decade. The Department for Transport said funding would now be "refocussed" towards the main barriers to the electric vehicle transition, such as public charging, and supporting the purchase of electric vans, taxis and motorcycles. Transport Minister Trudy Harrison said: "Having successfully kickstarted the electric car market, we now want to use Plug-in Grants to match that success across other vehicle types, from taxis to delivery vans and everything in between, to help make the switch to zero emission travel cheaper and easier."  'Wrong message' The UK is due to ban the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2030. Mike Hawes, chief executive of the SMMT, which represents carmakers, said the decision to scrap the grant "sends the wrong message to motorists and to an industry which remains committed to government's net zero ambition". He said the government's continued support for new electric van, taxi and adapted vehicle buyers was welcome, but the UK was "now the only major European market to have zero upfront purchase incentives for EV car buyers yet the most ambitious plans for uptake". Mr Hawes also said that the decision came at the worst possible time because the sector was not yet in recovery, and all manufacturers were "about to be mandated to sell significantly more EVs than current demand indicates". He called for the government to compel massive investment in the charging network quickly, at a scale beyond anything so far announced, if targets were to be hit.

https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-61796883 Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has unveiled what she called a "refreshed" case for independence. She told a press conference in Edinburgh that her government had an "indisputable mandate" for a second independence referendum. Ms Sturgeon was launching the first of a series of papers setting out the case to break away from the UK. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the 2014 referendum result should be respected. And opposition parties accused the Scottish government of being obsessed with independence. The first minister said it was now time to set out "a different and better vision" for Scotland. She said it was time to talk abut independence and then to make that choice. Ms Sturgeon insisted she won last May's election with a "clear commitment to give the people of Scotland the choice of becoming an independent country", and that Holyrood had a "decisive majority" of MSPs in favour of independence. "The Scottish Parliament therefore has an indisputable democratic mandate," she added. However, she conceded that a future referendum faced challenges, including what she described as an issue of process. She said Holyrood's power to hold a vote was "contested". If a referendum bill was introduced without Westminster agreement it could be challenged in the courts. Before the 2014 referendum, the Scottish government struck an agreement with the UK government which transferred authority on a temporary basis to Holyrood. This was called a section 30 order. The UK government has so far shown no indication that it would be willing to do so again. Ms Sturgeon said any referendum "must be lawful", and that only parties opposed to independence would benefit from doubt about the process. "If this UK government had any respect at all for democracy, the issue of legality would be put beyond doubt, as in 2014," she added. She said she had made clear to Boris Johnson that she was "ready to discuss the terms of such an order at any time". The first minister said her government had a mandate for another referendum, adding: "If we are to uphold democracy here in Scotland, we must forge a way forward if necessary without a section 30 order." An update on the Scottish government's plans for holding a referendum would follow soon, she added. Ms Sturgeon said the independence papers would set the scene for the debate about Scotland's future in the UK. She said they would cover how Scotland can benefit from the "massive opportunities" independence would present, but also address the challenges and not shy away from tough questions. She said independence would put "the levers that determine success into our own hands", and away from Westminster - which was taking Scotland "in the wrong direction". The first paper - called Independence in the Modern World. Wealthier, Happier, Fairer: Why Not Scotland? - makes comparisons between Scotland and other European countries - all of which Ms Sturgeon said were independent, wealthier and fairer than the UK. Subsequent papers will look at a areas including currency, tax and spend, defence, social security and pensions, and EU membership and trade. Ms Sturgeon was joined at the press conference by Patrick Harvie, the co-leader of the Scottish Green Party and a member of the Scottish cabinet. The SNP and the Greens are both pro-independence and struck a power sharing arrangement at Holyrood after last year's election. Mr Harvie said Scotland "could chart a different future" with independence and set out a vision for a greener, fairer and more prosperous Scotland. Boris Johnson said the 2014 result should be respected. He said the UK government should focus on the economy and Covid recovery, adding: "That's the focus of the government. We're working with our friends in the Scottish government, in the Scottish administration, on those issues." At Holyrood, the presiding officer stopped a minister from making a statement to MSPs on Tuesday afternoon because the details had already been released to the media. Alison Johnstone said the "benefits of independence" announcement should have been made in the chamber first "as a matter of courtesy and respect to the parliament". She skipped instead to response from Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, who said energy was being wasted on the wrong priorities. He said: "Pushing for another divisive referendum... is the wrong priority, at the worst possible time." Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar said Ms Sturgeon's speech was "a disappointing return to the politics of the past", adding that the majority were opposed to independence. He said the first minister should not "turn her back" on important issues in order to "focus on her own obsession" with independence. Alex Cole-Hamilton, the Scottish Lib Dem leader, said the first minister "must be wired to the moon if she thinks that breaking up the UK is the priority for people"..

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61796070 Russia has barred top UK-based journalists and defence figures as part of sanctions, in response to UK measures on Russian public figures. The BBC's Clive Myrie, Orla Guerin and Nick Beake, who have reported from Ukraine, and Director General Tim Davie are on the list of 29 media figures. The BBC "will continue to report independently and fairly", a spokesperson said. Sky TV, Times, Guardian, Channel Four and ITV journalists are also barred. Russia has already banned hundreds of elected British MPs. The foreign ministry in Moscow announced that work on expanding the list would continue. "The British journalists included on the list are involved in deliberate dissemination of false and one-sided information about Russia and events in Ukraine and Donbas," Russia's foreign ministry said. "With their biased assessments they also contribute to fuelling Russophobia in British society." In her most recent piece for the BBC, Orla Guerin reported from the Ukrainian city of Lysychansk, where she said the fabric of the city was being destroyed in a deliberate scorched earth policy. Clive Myrie reported live from Kyiv as Russian troops invaded Ukraine, attempting to capture the capital in the early days of the war. Sky News chief correspondent Stuart Ramsay, who is also on the list, was wounded in a Russian ambush while reporting outside Kyiv at the same time. Among the other high-profile journalists on the list are John Witherow, editor of The Times, Chris Evans of the Telegraph, Katharine Viner of the Guardian and Ted Verity of the Daily Mail. Correspondents Shaun Walker and Luke Harding of the Guardian and Paul Adams of the BBC are on the list, along with presenters Sophy Ridge, Nick Robinson and Cathy Newman, columnists Con Coughlin and Gideon Rachman and Russia academic Mark Galeotti. Shaun Walker said he was not racing to visit Russia but it was still a "very strange/sad feeling" to be on the list, after living in Russia for more than a decade. Russia has closed down independent media outlets and criminalised reporting of anything it considers to be "false information" about its war in Ukraine. Moscow refuses to call its invasion a war, labelling it a "special military operation". Russia has also targeted journalists and other figures it does not like with the label "foreign agent". The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday that this legislation violated the rights of those involved. Beyond the world of journalism there are senior figures on the sanctions list in the armed forces, including Royal Navy chief Adm Sir Ben Key and Air Force chief Sir Michael Wigston. The head of Thales UK, Alex Cresswell, and several senior colleagues are barred from Russia as are a number of top figures from BAE Systems, including overall CEO Charles Woodburn.
