Major search underway for group of women who may have been washed off rocks
Emergency services launched a major air and sea operation on Saturday afternoon after the group reportedly became stranded on rocks near Catherine Hill Bay Beach.
Police were called to the area around 1.40pm following witness reports of four women seen on the rocks around 1pm, but rising tides quickly obscured them from view.
Local officers, the Marine Area Command, and the Westpac Rescue Helicopter have scoured the coastline but have so far found no trace of the missing women.
It's still not known if they managed to reach safety. One woman was reportedly wearing red shorts.
NSW Police told Daily Mail they want the women, who they believe may be teenagers, to come forward if they reached safety.
No-one saw them enter the water and police think they may have simply climbed back up the rocks and left the area.
More to come.

‘Stunning survival story': Police rescue California man trapped behind waterfall for two days
A California man who recently became trapped behind a waterfall for two days while climbing was dramatically rescued by police utilizing a helicopter. Ryan Wardwell, 46, of Long Beach, went to waterfalls known as the Seven Teacups on 10 August with plans to rappel down, the sheriff's office of Tulare country said in a social media post. But the 'extreme hydraulics' of the waterfalls pushed Wardwell off his rappelling lines and trapped him behind a cascade of the Kern river, according to the sheriff's office. His failure to return to his car that night prompted local law enforcement to spend 11 August searching for him with infrared technology and aircraft. Difficult terrain and fading daylight thwarted their efforts that day. But rescuers found Wardwell the next day after flying a drone behind the cascade in question. Wardwell was alive and conscious when rescuers spotted him, and he told them how he had become stranded there, the Tulare county sheriff's office said. A California highway patrol helicopter crew then managed to hoist him to safety to cap off what the sheriff's office declared a 'stunning survival story'. Wardwell received treatment for dehydration and 'only minor injuries', and he was reunited with family who had gone to the scene, the sheriff's office said. The agency published video of Wardwell's rescue on Facebook, where it captured attention from news media outlets that reported on the situation. The clip showed the helicopter whipping around foliage and water around the cascade before the crew lifted Wardwell onboard. An attraction for hiking and outdoors adventure enthusiasts, the Seven Teacups are in a secluded area about two hours south of the Sequoia national park, which itself is east of Visalia, California. Wardwell had rappelled the falls several times before, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. On his 10 August trip there, friends had accompanied him, though they opted to stop going further after seeing the rushing water's power, California highway patrol flight officer paramedic Mike Crane said to the Chronicle. According to the outlet, Wardwell's friends left a note on his car telling passersby to report him missing if the vehicle was still there the next day, which it was. Wardwell ended up nestling himself in a dark cave beneath the waterfall – completely soaked – after being thrusted off his rappel lines, the Chronicle added. Tulare county sheriff's office captain Kevin Kemmerling told the Chronicle that Wardwell fought to escape for two days, 'but there was nothing he could do to break through'. 'There was no way for him to warm up or dry out in there, so it had to have been miserable,' Kemmerling said to the newspaper. Crane, speaking to the Chronicle, added: 'I got the impression that maybe he didn't know if he was ever going to get out of there.' The Tulare sheriff's office said in its statement that it reminded members of the public 'to always be aware of their environment and capabilities, especially when navigating white water rivers' like the one at the Seven Teacups. 'Stay safe, stay smart and stay alive,' the statement from the sheriff's office said.

Sanjeev Gupta readies last-ditch plan to save specialty arm of Liberty Steel
Sanjeev Gupta is preparing a last-ditch attempt to save the remaining arm of his Liberty Steel business as government officials step up planning for a collapse of the business within days. Gupta is understood to have spent the weekend planning an 11th hour rescue deal to save the company's Speciality Steels UK (SSUK) division days before a courtroom showdown with its creditors on Wednesday. The metals magnate hopes to secure a pre-pack administration deal that would allow the company to ditch its debts and other liabilities before being bought back by Gupta or parties connected to him. The plan is likely to raise eyebrows in Whitehall where government officials are reportedly planning for a collapse of the heavily indebted steel division, while fraud investigations into other areas of Gupta's business empire remain open. A Liberty Steel spokesperson said discussions are ongoing to finalise options for SSUK that 'best serve the interests of creditors, employees and the broader community'. The restructuring specialist Begbies Traynor is working on the pre-pack deal, according to Sky News, which first reported the plans, but any deal would need Liberty Steel's creditors, including the British tax authority HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and Swiss lender UBS, to agree to write off potentially hundreds of millions of pounds of debt. Gupta has limited time to finalise any attempt to rescue his subsidiary before an expected court hearing on Wednesday relating to a winding-up petition, that was issued by a supplier over unpaid debts. Government officials have reportedly stepped up planning for the collapse of SSUK if the winding-up petition is approved this week, according to Sky. The hearing, which has already been deferred several times, could force SSUK into compulsory liquidation, leaving a court-appointed official receiver to run the business. SSUK is the UK's third-largest steel producer and employs nearly 1,500 people. The South Yorkshire-based business includes an electric arc furnace at Rotherham, plus steelworks in Stocksbridge, near Sheffield, making steel for the car industry, as well as for use in construction and engineering. Financial pressure has been mounting on Gupta's metals and energy companies stretching from Australia through Singapore and Romania to northern England, known as the GFG Alliance. The group has been in trouble since the 2021 failure of Greensill Capital, which collapsed after lending GFG about $5bn (£3.7bn). Gupta has been engaged in long-running talks with the administrators of Greensill, who are trying to recover the money. GFG has been under investigation by the UK's Serious Fraud Office since 2021 in relation to the Greensill financing. The company and Gupta have denied any wrongdoing. Gupta is also being prosecuted by Companies House over the failure to file accounts for more than 70 UK businesses – including those of Liberty Pipes, based in Hartlepool. He has pleaded not guilty. Some industry figures have said they expect the government to step in to ensure the plants keep running if they fall into liquidation – although it is not thought that the government will give financial support to Gupta's companies. A spokesperson at the Department for Business said: 'We continue to closely monitor developments around Liberty Steel, including any public hearings, which are a matter for the company.' Continued financial pressures on Gupta's companies have followed years of difficulty for the wider UK steel industry. British steel production fell to its lowest level since the 1930s in 2024, and the government in effect took over the British Steel blast furnaces at Scunthorpe in April, amid fears of more than 2,700 job losses and the end of primary steel-making in the UK.
