Scottish Enterprise panned for lack of checks on Israeli-linked arms firms
A Freedom of Information request has revealed that two major arms companies in receipt of Scottish Enterprise grants – Italian arms giant Leonardo and American multinational Raytheon Systems – haven't received a human right due diligence check since October 2019 This funding comes despite both firms continue to supply Israel with weapons amid its genocide in Gaza. In that timeframe, both firms have also been in receipt of Scottish public money – Leonardo received £786,125 in 2023 while Raytheon Systems, which has a factory in Glenrothes, was given £500k in the first half of 2024. Leonardo produces laser targeting systems for Lockheed Martin, which sells the F-35 jets Israel, and Raytheon makes Paveway II guided missiles which are also used by Israel. READ MORE: JD Vance panned for 'lies about Scotland' ahead of luxury Ayrshire holiday The last time a check was performed on French arms firm Thales was July 2021, while Babcock was last checked in March 2022 and Chemring Energetics in December 2021. Bae Systems received a check in February 2024. In response, human rights charity Amnesty International told The National that the 'more we learn' about the checks 'the more concerning it becomes' that Scottish Enterprise and Scottish ministers are defending the process. Scottish Greens co-leader Lorna Slater, meanwhile, said it was 'shocking', adding: 'There is no point in having human rights checks at all if they are never carried out.' In total, Scottish Enterprise has given £8 million to 13 companies involved in weapons manufacturing since 2019. The Scottish Government has repeatedly insisted that no public funding goes towards the manufacturing of munitions specifically but other areas these companies operate in, including research, training and apprenticeships. Scottish Enterprise, meanwhile, has strongly denied its human rights checks are not adequate. However, that has been called into question given that, of the 199 human rights checks between 2021 and 2023, no firm has ever failed. When pressed on the issue in an exclusive interview with The National last weekend, First Minister John Swinney defended the grants. 'We won't support the production of munitions. That's our hard line. And we get criticised for taking that hard line, and I'm very confident that hard line is applied,' he said. The First Minister was then pressed on the argument that any funding – even if ring-fenced by the Scottish Government – will directly help a company's cash flow and could, hypothetically, free up money to be used elsewhere, including in the building of munitions. 'I understand that point. But there are also defence requirements of Scotland. Scotland is part of an island nation. We require, for example, shipbuilding resources to support the maritime defense of the United Kingdom because nobody wants to see us vulnerable to an attack from Russia. I certainly don't want to,' he responded. An Amnesty International spokesperson said: "Amnesty is aware from our own research that payments were made to companies known to supply Israel without a new check being triggered by the unfolding genocide in Gaza. 'Alarmingly, that is the process Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Government attempted to characterise as robust and well aligned to international standards. The recent in-house review of the human rights checks recommended some improvements, but unsurprisingly they don't go far enough. We will be meeting with Scottish Enterprise in the coming weeks to take these concerns forward." Slater, meanwhile, said it 'flies in the face of any kind of due diligence'. "These are some of the biggest arms companies in the world. They have armed human rights abusers and dictatorships and some have directly enabled and profited from the genocide in Gaza,' she said. "They should not be receiving public money in the first place, and the Scottish Government absolutely should not be setting up tests to win favourable headlines while refusing to actually implement them. "How can we trust a word they say on ensuring they are applying human rights standards when they are refusing to even ask the right questions of those they are giving public money to?" A spokesperson for Scottish Enterprise said: 'Under our current processes, Human Rights Due Diligence Checks last for three years. New checks are carried out prior to the approval of new funding if they have expired. Funding was authorised and contracted while valid checks or exemptions were in effect in all cases. 'It is important to note that contractual payments are made to companies in stages as the conditions of their contracts are met, in line with the effective management of public funds. Payments can therefore be made over several years. 'The recent review of our HRDD checks affirmed the strength of our processes while identifying areas for enhancement, including increasing the frequency of checks to better respond to emerging risks. We are committed to implementing identified improvements over the course of 2025/26. 'We have been transparent on the frequency of our checks and have corresponded in detail on this with interested parties including Amnesty International, who we look forward to meeting next week.'

Hidden Lewis Hamilton contract clause comes to light as Ferrari left powerless
A report from Italy claims Lewis Hamilton holds a unilateral power thanks to the fine print with his Ferrari contract which could be the deciding factor in how long his stay with the Scuderia will be Lewis Hamilton has complete control over whether or not his Ferrari career will end after the 2026 season. That is according to a report in Italy which claims the Scuderia has no power to stop the British driver from extending his stay into the 2027 campaign, even if they were to decide to go in a different direction. It has been a tough adjustment for the seven-time Formula 1 champion since making the switch. He joined Ferrari in the hope of having a better chance of challenging for silverware than he feared he might get if he stuck with the Mercedes outfit he represented with distinction for more than a decade. But there have been few highlights so far in a Ferrari shirt. The Hungarian Grand Prix last time out was a particular low point, as he failed to score a point for the first time all year, finishing 12th after a poor qualifying, following which he declared himself "useless". Hamilton is sixth in the drivers' standings, just one place below team-mate Charles Leclerc but 42 points behind the Monegasque who has managed five Grand Prix podiums so far in 2025, while his British partner has yet to experience that since switching to Ferrari. He turns 41 in January and it is clear that Hamilton is in the twilight of his remarkable F1 career. As it stands, the Ferrari contract he signed expires in 2026, though it has long been understood that his £50million-per-year deal contains an option to extend that stay for another season beyond that. But that is not something that, according to the Italian outlet La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ferrari can trigger themselves. The newspaper claims Hamilton is the one who holds the unilateral power to decide whether or not he will remain in that seat in 2027. It is reported that the Brit was able to get such a clause inserted into his deal because of the commercial benefits his presence brings to the team and to Ferrari as a wider organisation. The company's stock price rocketed on the day the news broke that the F1 legend would be joining. Leclerc also has a long-term contract, signed last year, which is expected to keep him tied to Ferrari until 2029. That means the Scuderia has very little wiggle room over its driver line-up for the next three years at least, given the power Hamilton wields in regards to his own future. As for Hamilton's long-term successor, Ferrari believe they already have a star of the future on the books. Oliver Bearman is being somewhat groomed as a Ferrari driver of the future, being retained as an affiliated racer despite being signed to customer team Haas. But the decision over when that might happen, it seems, rests with Hamilton. Though the seven-time champion is very self-aware and is unlikely to prolong his Ferrari career if he does come to the conclusion that he is no longer at the peak of his powers.

Boss of huge car firm warns brands are ‘heading full speed into a wall' and could ‘collapse' over EVs
He also warned of a 'reality check' and a petrol rush that 'doesn't help the climate at all.' CHARGED UP Boss of huge car firm warns brands are 'heading full speed into a wall' and could 'collapse' over EVs Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EUROPE'S car industry is 'heading at full speed against a wall', the boss of a huge car firm has warned. In a stark intervention, Mercedes-Benz boss Ola Källenius said the industry risks collapsing if the EU doesn't rethink its ban on new petrol and diesel cars Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Mercedes-Benz boss Ola Källenius says a 'reality check' is needed before the 2035 ban on combustion-engine sales is locked in Credit: AFP 3 Europe's car industry is 'heading at full speed against a wall' and risks collapsing if EU doesn't rethink ban on petrol and diesel cars, says boss Credit: AFP 3 Electric cars remain far from dominating the market, with EVs making up just 17.5 per cent of sales across the EU in the first half of this year Credit: EPA He also said a 'reality check' was needed before the 2035 ban on combustion-engine sales is locked in. Mr Källenius told German business paper Handelsblatt: "We need a reality check. Otherwise, we are heading at full speed against a wall. "Of course, we have to decarbonise, but it has to be done in a technology-neutral way. We must not lose sight of our economy." The luxury brand — once gung-ho about going fully electric in Europe — has already dropped its ambitious 2021 pledge to stop selling combustion cars 'where market conditions allow' by the decade's end. Källenius, who also heads the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA), now warns the EU's policy could trigger a last-minute rush for petrol and diesel cars before the cut-off, which 'doesn't help the climate at all.' Electric cars remain far from dominating the market. In the first half of this year, EVs made up just 17.5 per cent of sales across the EU, UK, and EFTA countries, while plug-in hybrids took 8.7 per cent. Traditional hybrids accounted for 35 per cent, but that figure includes mild-hybrids, which critics say aren't 'true' hybrids. Mercedes' own figures show EV sales slipping — just 8.4 per cent of its global deliveries in the first six months of 2025, down from 9.7 per cent last year. Even with plug-ins included, electrified models made up just 20.1 per cent of shipments. Tesla's Cybertruck Graveyard: Hundreds of Unsold EVs Abandoned at Shopping Mall The EU's 2035 ban is due for review in the coming months, but Brussels has so far signalled no U-turn, reiterating in March its commitment to zero-emission new cars by the mid-2030s. It comes as the boss of Stellantis — the giant behind 14 brands including Fiat, Peugeot, and Maserati — warned that unreachable EU CO2 targets could force plant closures. Europe chief Jean-Philippe Imparato said the Franco-Italian group faces fines of up to €2.5 billion within 'two-three years' if it fails to meet emissions rules. Without a regulatory rethink by year-end, 'we will have to make tough decisions,' he told a conference in Rome. 'I have two solutions: either I push like hell (on electric)… or I close down ICE (internal combustion engine vehicles). And therefore I close down factories,' he said, pointing to the risk for sites such as Stellantis' van plant in Atessa, Italy. The warning comes amid fresh turmoil for Stellantis, with its new CEO Antonio Filosa inheriting the fallout from Donald Trump's 25 per cent US import tariffs and a crisis at Maserati, which has seen sales plunge from 26,600 in 2023 to 11,300 last year. With EV targets biting, petrol and diesel models under threat, and luxury brands cancelling investments — including Maserati's £1.3bn electric MC20 Folgore — Europe's car bosses are sending a clear signal to Brussels: ease off, or risk slamming the brakes on the continent's auto industry.
