George Osborne: ‘Disaster’ to stop building (FULL Interview) – BBC News

Published

on



Chancellor George Osborne has said it would be a “disaster” for the UK to stop building infrastructure projects. The government has pledged to spend an extra £5bn on transport, energy and housing projects. Mr Osborne was insistent the projects should be completed despite potentially affecting some people living in the locations proposed for new building. He said he wanted a “cross-party” consensus so Parliament could come to “collective decisions”.

    Where is the right to buy housing association properties that were former council houses?

    When a family buys their own housing association house, they are still housed in it!
    Low paid people have the incentive to keep working not claiming benefits.

    Housing association then has money to build new.
    If associations didn't get the full cost of a new houses they still end up building more houses & original families are still housed and won't need housing benefit when they are old

UN says Israeli strike killed six of its Gaza staff | BBC News

Published

on



The UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa) says six of its employees have been killed in an Israeli air strike on a school it runs in central Gaza.

Gaza’s Hamas-run Civil Defence agency said a total of 18 people were killed in Wednesday’s strike on al-Jaouni school in Nuseirat refugee camp, which is being used as a shelter by thousands of displaced Palestinians.
Israel’s military said it carried out a “precise strike on terrorists” planning attacks from the school, and that it had taken measures to avoid harm to civilians.
UN Secretary General António Guterres condemned the strike, saying: “What’s happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable”.

The suspected gunman in the apparent assassination attempt of former US President Donald Trump appeared before a court in Florida today.

Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, has been charged with federal gun crimes – possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obstructed serial number.

Court documents show that Routh was hiding on the edge of Trump’s Florida golf course for nearly 12 hours before the apparent assassination attempt.

Trump was unharmed during the incident on Sunday – it is the second apparent attempt on his life in two month.

UK meat exports delayed for days due to new Brexit customs rules – BBC News

Published

on



British meat exports are facing long delays, sometime for days, because of extra customs checks and paperwork after the end of the Brexit transition period.

The meat producers’ trade body says exports are at just 25% of normal volumes for the time of year. They say the new rules are “not fit for purpose”.

The UK exports £15 billion worth of food and drink to the EU every year. A third of it is perishable meat, fish and fresh produce.

Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by business editor Simon Jack.
