Commenting on the opening, Burstein said in a statement: 'A couple of days in, and whilst we loved the neighbourhood of Connaught Village and our loyal local following, we're seeing a very different, more varied customer here on South Molton Street.
'Being positioned between two streets, with entrances on both sides and all three floors visible from outside - not to mention the incredible natural light - is proving a very winning combination. We now have a window to the world here in W1.' The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London The Place London on South Molton Street Credits: The Place London

Extra time given to controversial housing development in Powys village
2 This article is brought to you by our exclusive subscriber partnership with our sister title USA Today, and has been written by our American colleagues. It does not necessarily reflect the view of The Herald. AN EXTRA three years has been given to a developer so that they can produce detailed plans for a controversial housing development in a village near Newtown. Earlier this year Tyson and Eldrydd Lamp of Plas Dinam Country House lodged a section 73 planning application with Powys County Council. This was to vary condition two of a planning permission they had received on the site just over three years ago. In June 2022, outline planning permission was given to develop four detached dwellings, garages formation of access and associated works for land opposite Old Barn Close in Llandinam. This outline approval settled the principle of developing the site and gave the applicants three years to come up with details in an all matters reserved planning application. A further issue identified by the highways authority in comments they sent as during the consultation process is that part of the land needed for a new access to the site – was not owned by the applicant. However, correspondence between the council and the planning agent Gerallt Davies of Roger Parry and Partners show that the application was changed so that these issues would be dealt with at a later date. Mr Davies said: 'Could you change the application to be all matters reserved and revert to the original block plan as proposed please. 'With this, highways will not comment on the application, and there will be no third-party land involvement. 'This will then mean that at reserved matters stage full highway drawings will need to be provided.' Planning officer Rhian Griffiths said that the proposal was still 'considered acceptable' under policies in the Powys Local Development Plan (LDP). Ms Griffiths said: 'The application was made in outline, with all matters reserved for consideration at a later date. 'There is therefore no consideration being given as part of this application to the matters of layout, scale, appearance, access and landscaping. 'No alterations are proposed to the approved development, other than extending the time period for the submission of reserved matters, and commencement of development. (Image: Newsquest) 'The application does not therefore have any different considerations in respect of affordable housing, or density. "The original outline application was subject to 15 conditions, which are considered to remain relevant to the development. 'The same conditions will be reapplied to any granting of this application.' She went on to approve the application. A sustainable drainage application will also need to be agreed before construction work starts.

American Bar Association adopts resolution against Trump's law firm crackdown
Aug 11 (Reuters) - The American Bar Association's policymaking body on Monday adopted a resolution opposing government efforts to punish 'lawyers, law firms, or other organizations for representing or having represented any particular client or cause disfavored by the government.' The resolution, opens new tab is the latest in an escalating conflict between the Trump administration and the ABA, which is the nation's largest voluntary lawyer organization with about 170,000 dues-paying members. In recent months, the ABA has publicly clashed with the administration over officials' attacks on judges and law firms, while government officials have dismissed the ABA as a 'snooty' organization of 'leftist lawyers' and alleged that some of its diversity efforts are illegal. The U.S. Department of Justice has barred its attorneys from participating in ABA events and curtailed the organization's ability to vet new federal judicial nominations. Trump in April threatened to revoke the ABA's status as the federally recognized accreditor of law schools. The rule of law 'will not long survive if lawyers and law firms are threatened and punished for doing their jobs and if judges are threatened with punishment for doing their jobs,' the ABA's new resolution said. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the resolution. The ABA has brought multiple lawsuits against the Trump administration, including a pending case filed in July that seeks an order barring the White House from pursuing what the ABA called a campaign of intimidation against major law firms. The ABA said Trump's actions, including executive orders targeting specific firms, have chilled the ability of some public-interest organizations to find lawyers for new matters. Reuters in a special report last month described how some firms were retreating from public interest legal work in the wake of Trump's pressure campaign. The Justice Department on Friday asked, opens new tab a federal judge in Washington D.C., to dismiss the ABA's case, arguing that there's no certainty that Trump will target the business operations of another firm, and that the claims could only be brought by individual plaintiffs, and not the "monolithic" ABA. The DOJ also said the ABA hadn't shown Trump's actions had dissuaded lawyers from taking certain cases. The ABA's House of Delegates is meeting Monday and Tuesday in Toronto to consider a slew of resolutions, many of which relate to the federal government and the rule of law. The resolution opposing attacks on lawyers and law firms also opposes threats to impeach judges 'based solely on disagreement with the merits of the rulings made by those judges.' Since returning to the White House, Trump has issued a series of executive orders targeting law firms over their past clients and lawyers they hired. Nine law firms have struck deals with the president, pledging nearly $1 billion in free legal services on mutually agreed legal issues with the White House in order to stave off similar executive orders. Four law firms successfully sued the administration to block the orders against them, which stripped their lawyers of security clearances and restricted their access to government officials and federal contracting work.

Cow's milk, as well as Russian oil, fuels the US-India trade war
Donald Trump has beef with India for buying oil from Russia. But the American president's tariffs totalling 50% on many Indian exports—set to come into force later this month—are not just about geopolitics. Agriculture and dairy have been the most contentious issues in India's talks with America, which broke down this month. And it is over farming that India's equally combative prime minister, Narendra Modi, has chosen to fight back. 'India will never compromise on the wellbeing of its farmers, dairy and fishermen,' he thundered in Delhi on August 7th, a day after Mr Trump's announcement.
