King Charles dragged into Prince Andrew spy scandal
These meetings occurred discreetly to avoid media attention, given the controversy surrounding Prince Andrew.
Buckingham Palace clarified that while the King was briefed on funding proposals, alleged Chinese spy Yang Tengbo, linked to the Eurasia Fund, was never mentioned in the discussions.
The Palace disputes some claims in the released testimony, stating their records don't match the account and the Eurasia Fund never received royal approval.
Andrew's former advisor, Dominic Hampshire, stated in the documents that Mr. Yang played a role in drafting communications regarding the fund but emphasized that Mr. Yang did not have a close relationship with the Duke. Mr. Hampshire later clarified that he kept the Palace and intelligence services informed of his dealings with Mr. Yang and that his business activities are no longer connected to the Royal Family.

Workers face uncertainty as Liberty Steel collapses into government control
One of the UK's biggest steelworks has been taken over by the government after it collapsed into administration, putting thousands of jobs at risk. Speciality Steel UK, previously part of Sanjeev Gupta's Liberty Steel business, employs 1,450 people at sites in Stocksbridge and Rotherham. On Wednesday, a specialist insolvency court heard the company was in millions of pounds worth of debt to creditors but only had £650,000 in its bank account. On Thursday, the courts granted a compulsory winding up order. The company will now be placed in the hands of the Official Receiver and special managers from consultancy firm Teneo. The government has agreed to cover the ongoing wages and costs of the plant while a buyer is found. A spokesperson said it remains committed to the future for steel making jobs. "We know this will be a deeply worrying time for staff and their families, but we remain committed to a bright and sustainable future for steelmaking and steel making jobs in the UK." However, bosses at Speciality Steel said the move to wind up the business is "irrational". Jeffrey Kabel, chief transformation officer said: "The decision to push Speciality Steel UK into compulsory liquidation, especially when we have support from the world's largest asset manager to resume operations and facilitate creditor recovery is irrational. "The plan that GFG (Sanjeev Gupta's parent business) presented to the courtwould have secured new investment in the UK steel industry, protecting jobs and establishing a sustainable operational platform under a new governance structure with independent oversight. "Instead, liquidation will now impose prolonged uncertainty and significant costs on UK taxpayers for settlements and related expenses, despite the availability of a commercial solution." Following the news, Charlotte Brumpton-Childs, GMB National Officer, said it is yet "another tragedy" for UK Steel. "This is another tragedy for UK steel - and the people of South Yorkshire - this time brought on by years of chronic mismanagement by the owners. But this represents an opportunity for the Government to take decisive action, as it did with British steel, to protect this vital UK industry." It comes after the government took over British Steel's Scunthorpe plant in Apri l to prevent the Chinese owner of the plant, Jingye, from closing blast furnaces at the site.
