India's Modi says will not compromise interests of farmers, amid Trump's tariff salvo
Aug 7 (Reuters) - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday he will not compromise the interests of the country's farmers even if he has to pay a heavy price for it, in his first comments after U.S. President Donald Trump's salvo of a 50% tariff on Indian goods. Trump announced an additional 25% tariff on the South Asian nation on Thursday, taking the total levy on Indian goods being exported to the U.S. to 50% - among the highest levied on any U.S. trading partner. "For us, our farmers' welfare is supreme," Modi said in a function in New Delhi. "India will never compromise on the wellbeing of its farmers, dairy (sector) and fishermen. And I know personally I will have to pay a heavy price for it," he said. Trade talks between India and the United States collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. Modi did not directly refer to the U.S. tariffs or trade talks. The new tariff, effective from Aug. 28, was to penalise India for its purchase of Russian oil, Trump has said. India's foreign ministry has said the decision was "extremely unfortunate," and that "India will take all necessary steps to protect its national interests." The U.S. is yet to announce any similar tariff for China, which is the biggest buyer of Russian oil. Experts have said China has been spared so far as it has a bargaining chip with the U.S. over its reserves of rare earth minerals and other such commodities, which India lacks. "The U.S. tariff hike lacks logic," Dammu Ravi, secretary of economic relations in India's foreign ministry, told reporters. "So this is a temporary aberration, a temporary problem that the country will face, but in course of time, we are confident that the world will find solutions." India has started making moves to signal that it might have to consider other partnerships in the coming months in the face of Trump's tariffs, which have led to the worst diplomatic showdown between the two countries in years. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is preparing for his first visit to China in over seven years, suggesting a potential realignment in alliances as relations with Washington fray. Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Wednesday he would initiate a conversation among the BRICS group of developing nations about how to tackle Trump's tariffs. He said he planned to call Modi on Thursday, and China's Xi Jinping and other leaders. The BRICS group also includes Russia and South Africa. Ravi said "like-minded countries will look for cooperation and economic engagement that will be mutually beneficial to all sides."

New checks on recycling tyres after BBC reveals millions sent to furnaces in India
The Environment Agency said it is introducing enhanced checks on the export of tyres from the UK after the BBC revealed millions were being sent to furnaces instead of being recycled in India.A report by the EA acknowledged it is "highly likely" that a proportion of exported tyres were diverted to illegal makeshift industrial plants, intended to extract steel, small amounts of oil and other materials, can cause serious health problems and environmental and the tyre recycling industry body welcomed the announcement but said the proposal will not close all loopholes exploited by criminals. The UK generates about 50 million waste tyres (nearly 700,000 tonnes) every year. According to official figures, about half of these are exported to India, supposedly to be in March of this year BBC File on 4 Investigates and Source Material, a non-profit journalism group, revealed that some 70% of tyres exported to India from the UK and the rest of the world are being sent to makeshift industrial plants, where they are "cooked" in order to extract carbon black – a powder or pellet that can be used in various industries – as well as the steel and process is known as pyrolysis and takes place in facilities akin to homemade pressure cookers, often in rural backwaters. They can produce gases and chemicals which can be toxic, harmful to public health and potentially January, two women and two children were killed in an explosion at a plant in western state of Maharashtra, where European-sourced tyres were being processed. A BBC team visited the site and saw soot, dying vegetation and polluted waterways in the surrounding area. Villagers complained of persistent coughs and eye the BBC revealed that millions of tyres were being "cooked" in these plants, the Environment Agency launched a review, which concluded last acknowledged for the first time that it's "highly likely" that a proportion of tyres from the UK are diverted to illegal pyrolysis as opposed to being recycled."We have not been able to verify that exported waste pneumatic tyres are arriving at their intended destination sites in India," the EA said, adding that there was a "lack of sufficiently credible information" that they were being processed EA said it has an obligation to prohibit exports of waste if there is a risk that the waste will not be managed in an environmentally responsible way, and it would introduce enhanced checks on tyre exports from 1 the proposals those exporting tyres will have to satisfy the EA that waste is being recovered in environmentally sound manner. But the pressure group Fighting Dirty, which threatened the EA with legal proceedings over what it called a "lack of action" over tyre exports, said there is "too little detail" to satisfy them that the EA's proposals will "effectively close the loopholes exploited by group's founder Georgia Elliott-Smith said the plan "sounds promising" but just seems to be self-certification paperwork with the threat of inspections - "not much different from today's flawed protocol"."Only time will tell if this results in meaningful change, or just more red tape and delay," she Tyre Recycling Association (TRA), which has long campaigned for a ban on exports of whole tyres, an approach adopted by the Australian government, said it was "very disappointed" the EA dismissed that believes tyres should only be exported after shredding, which it said would make it more expensive and difficult to sell them illicitly in India."Yet again, the EA is failing us as well as themselves," the TRA EA said the new regulations are a "pragmatic solution" that will continue allow waste tyres to be exported to India, where exporters can show they are being sent somewhere with broadly equivalent standards to the UK.

Coventry traders doubt police moves against shoplfiting
"I don't trust the police to help me with shoplifting... you don't really expect them to actually do a lot these days, which is a shame to say."Christopher Charley, who runs a perfume and cosmetics stall in Coventry city centre, is so far unimpressed with West Midlands Police's initiative to reduce crime, including shop theft, with an increased police Safer Streets programme was rolled out nationwide by the Home Secretary and will continue in Coventry until the end of was created in response to "record levels of shop theft", according to the Home Office, with the crime up by more than 60% between December 2022 and December 2024. However, Mr Charley said: "I could not remember the last time I've actually seen a police officer walk through here that wasn't going to get lunch." He said that shoplifting was a "horrific problem" in the city centre, with culprits "literally doing whatever they want to do"."We're all small independent businesses, we can't suffer the losses like a big chain can, so when we do lose stuff it really is much harder for us to recoup it or recover from it," he businessman added his confidence in the police to tackle the issue was low."On the last two instances, there was no point in really contacting the police. You wouldn't have thought they were going to turn up even if you did get hold of somebody."His sentiment was shared by fellow trader - hat shop owner Mike Cassity - who accused the police of being apathetic to said: "I've rung them on many occasions and they just don't bother turning up." The problem also extends to charity shops - with volunteers telling the BBC that they had been targeted as Crunden, from a Mary Ann Evans Hospice shop, said that in addition to dealing with clothes thieves, there were also more serious incidents."A couple of weeks ago, somebody actually got a big rock, and when my manager got in on the Monday morning, it was through the bottom pane of the surmised that it was so someone could try and steal the store's money."We've all sort of been a bit, not traumatised by it, but trying to wonder why would somebody do that?"Debbie Hope is the relief manager at a Myton Hospices shop and said it was "scary" sometimes, when shoplifters became violent."But what can we do? We just have to take it as we see it," she added that shoplifting was particularly frustrating for them because their stores are non-profit, and use their takings for a good cause. What are police doing? West Midlands Police said it was working "incredibly closely" with the local authority, the businesses community and others to tackle the police commander, Ch Supt Paul Joyce, said people could expect an increase in police patrols in the town added that in the first month of the Safer Streets Initiative, which began on 30 June, 37 people had been arrested."This initiative is just a small part of what we're doing to try and restore confidence and re-instil some order back to our town centres.""This is just an intensified period throughout the summer," he said. He denied that the police were apathetic to shoplifting and anti-social behaviour, and said it was "absolutely not true" they were seen as less to claims the force did not always turn up promptly to shoplifting incidents, he said that every decision was based on whatever "the threat, risk, and harm is at that time".He hoped people would begin to notice a difference with extra patrols."I would urge the public to work with us. I hope that they can observe us at our absolute best within our town centres and high streets, delivering a police service that they deserve."Tell us, call us, contact us about things that are happening, and we will do everything within our power to react, respond, and deal with it very robustly."
