Why govt's promise of 'biggest boost to affordable housing in a generation' may be overblown
Angela Rayner is set to announce plans to build 180,000 new social homes in the next decade, as the government seeks to "turn the tide on the housing crisis". It would be six times greater than the number of social homes built in the 10 years up to 2024 - and forms part of a drive to build 300,000 new social and affordable properties by 2035. The plan is backed by a £39bn investment announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves in last month's spending review. 2:29 The deputy prime minister called on the social housing sector to "work together to turn the tide of the housing crisis", and said the investment was "the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation". "We are seizing this golden opportunity with both hands to transform this country by building the social and affordable homes we need, so we create a brighter future where families aren't trapped in temporary accommodation and young people are no longer locked out of a secure home," she said. Ms Rayner's target for social and affordable housing is part of a wider long-term plan - also due to be published on Wednesday - setting out how the government will build both more houses and improve housing standards. Here, Sky News looks at what the plan will mean for the country, how it compares to previous programmes, and how it could be affected by the increased cost of construction. 3:17 Crunching the numbers The £39bn 10-year Affordable Homes Programme is an ambitious investment in affordable housing, representing a real terms increase from the previous programme of over £1bn annually. However, claims of the "biggest boost in a generation" may be slightly overblown. When factoring in inflation, the annual investment of £3.9bn falls short of the equivalent £4.5bn annually from 2008 to 2011 under the previous Labour government. This was however a notably short-term uplift, and the sector will welcome the stability of the new settlement which secures funding for 10 years - compared with five years or fewer under previous programmes. The programme sets out to deliver 30,000 affordable homes per year on average, with at least 18,000 of those being for social rent, rather than other tenures such as shared ownership. This would be more than twice the number under the previous programme, which is estimated to have delivered about 8,000 homes annually for social rent by its completion. Similarly, however, it is fewer than were delivered by the previous Labour Affordable Homes Programme, which was over 30,000 a year from 2008 to 2011. A further challenge to the government's goal of a "generational" uplift is the increasing cost of building, meaning they may face diminishing returns on their investment. The previous Affordable Homes Programme initially aimed to deliver 180,000 homes, which was revised down significantly to between 110,000 and 130,000 due to increasing costs and delays. This government can expect to face a similar economic landscape, particularly with an ambition to deliver a greater share of socially rented homes - the most expensive type of affordable housing to build.

World's biggest retailer will soon have more robots than human employees
Amazon will soon have more robots than human employees working in its warehouses. The retail giant has long been increasing automation for tasks once completed by humans. As a result it now has more than one million robots in its workplaces, according to the company's own data. This new record is nearing the amount of human workers in its facilities, and will soon surpass them. Amazon's enormous warehouses are now staffed with large plucking 'robots' that can pick up and move packages with their long metallic arms. Other robots are used to pack products into packaging and to help with sorting. One of the newest robots, called Vulcan, even has in-built sense of touch which helps it to distinguish between different items on shelves, the Wall Street Journal reported. Amazon's latest move is to connect the robots to its order-fulfillment systems - meaning the machines can work together and with humans to complete jobs - according to the report. 'They're one step closer to that realization of the full integration of robotics,' robot analyst Rueben Scriven told the Journal. Currently around 75 percent of Amazon's deliveries are helped by a robot at some point on their journey. Amazon claims this has been one of the main factors behind their improved productivity. It also helps solve issues such as high staff turnover at its fulfilments centers, the retail giant said. It has also freed current staff from some repetitive and cumbersome tasks such as heavy lifting. 'I thought I was going to be doing heavy lifting, I thought I was going to be walking like crazy,' Amazon employee Neisha Cruz told the Journal. Cruz spent five years picking items at an Amazon warehouse in Windsor, Connecticut, but was then trained to oversee the new robotic systems. Cruz now earns more than double the pay she started on and is able to work behind a computer rather than on her feet. Amazon boss Andy Jassy warned that AI will lead to job cuts However, the robots are also replacing jobs and slowing hiring at the company which currently employs 1.56 million people, mostly in warehouses. It comes after Amazon's CEO Andy Jassy recently revealed that the increased implementation of AI means the company will slash the size of its workforce in the coming years. 'As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done,' Jassy wrote in a memo to staff last month. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce,' he explained. And Amazon is not alone. Last month Microsoft also said is planning to cut thousands of jobs as it ramps up investments in AI. The cuts, which will hit sales roles in particular, are part of a broader effort to streamline the company's workforce, according to Bloomberg. The layoffs are expected to be announced early next month, following the end of the tech giant's fiscal year, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. In June Procter & Gamble, which makes diapers, laundry detergent, and other household items, also announced it would cut 7,000 jobs, or about 15 percent of non-manufacturing roles. Americans are growing increasingly concerned about the impact of AI on the jobs market. The tech is continuing to upend the jobs market with white collar entry-level jobs disappearing fastest and layoffs in tech, finance and consulting gathering pace.

Aukus deal's importance ‘well understood' by Trump administration, Penny Wong says – but no iron-clad guarantee given
The strategic importance of the Aukus agreement is 'well understood' by the Trump administration, Penny Wong says, despite a snap Pentagon review casting doubt on the future of the pact. In Washington DC for talks with Quad nations foreign ministers on Wednesday, Australia's foreign affairs minister said the US secretary of state, Marco Rubio, had heard Australia's position on the need for the agreement to proceed, though she did not receive any iron-clad assurances from her counterpart. The Aukus deal outlines the sharing of nuclear-powered submarine technology between Australia, the US and the UK at a cost of about A$350bn. The federal government has already made payments worth A$800m. Despite the review being led by an Aukus sceptic and US undersecretary of defense, Elbridge Colby, Wong said she remained confident the partnership would 'last decades'. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email She said Australia and the US understood 'the importance to both our countries and to the United Kingdom'. 'We understand a new administration is going to engage in a review,' Wong said. 'That is not surprising. The United Kingdom did so. 'This is a multi-decade partnership. It will take governments and administrations of both political persuasions over many years to deliver. We will continue to work with the United States and the United Kingdom on delivering it.' The talks come as Donald Trump and the US defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, push Labor to lift Australia's defence spending to 3.5% of GDP. The federal government is resisting that pressure. Australia is on track to lift defence spending from about $53bn a year, or about 2% of GDP – to an estimated $100bn, or 2.4% of GDP, by 2033-34. The Quad talks included Japan's foreign minister, Iwaya Takeshi, and India's external affairs minister, Subrahmanyam Jaishankar. Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion Wong said Rubio had expressed regret that Trump had not met with Anthony Albanese at the G7 summit last month. Trump left the talks in Canada a day early to deal with the war between Israel and Iran. 'I explained to him we perfectly understood why the president had to leave, given the circumstances, and we agreed that we will reschedule this meeting,' she said. 'We both look forward to the leaders meeting. 'I think that the Trump administration and President Trump has made very clear to the world that he envisages a different role for America in the world.' One possible opportunity for a meeting between Trump and the prime minister at the White House could be after the UN general assembly in New York in September. India will host the next Quad leaders' summit later this year. Australia could benefit from demand for critical minerals from Quad countries including Japan and India, with exports forming part of efforts to secure supply chains as a balance against China's domination of the market. Rubio said the US wanted to diversify global supplies and processing. 'It's critical for all technologies and for all industries across the board,' he said. 'Having a diverse and reliable global supply chain of these is just one example of many that we can focus on and build upon and achieve some real progress on.' Wong called progress on critical minerals part of efforts to secure 'concrete outcomes' for a stable and peaceful Indo-Pacific region. 'This is a supply set of supply chains we need to assure. Australia has, I think, 36 of the 50 critical minerals. We certainly have a capacity to do more for those, to secure those supply chains.'
