Tanker with Russian oil for sanctions-hit Nayara Energy diverts to another Indian port, sources say
NEW DELHI: An oil tanker carrying Russian Urals crude has been diverted away from the EU-sanctioned Nayara Energy's Vadinar port in India to unload its cargo at the port of Mundra, according to shipping data and four industry sources on Thursday. Two tankers have also skipped loading refined products from Vadinar port since Friday when Nayara, 49%-owned by oil producer Rosneft, was among companies targeted in a fresh package of sanctions imposed by the European Union on Russia. The Omni tanker, carrying about 700,000 barrels of Urals, arrived at Vadinar port on July 18 and is now anchored off Mundra port, according to data from LSEG and Kpler and the sources on Thursday. Its destination was changed from Vadinar to Mundra on Wednesday, the data showed. It was not immediately clear why the cargo was not unloaded at Vadinar. Russia-backed Indian refiner condemns EU curbs The cargo has now been bought by a refinery operated by HPCL-Mittal Energy Ltd (HMEL), a joint venture between Hindustan Petroleum Corp and Mittal Energy Investments, the sources said. HMEL operates a 226,000 barrel-per-day refinery in northern Punjab state. HMEL and Nayara did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nayara operates a 400,000-bpd refinery in western India.

Anyone with kids given 'jail and fines' warning this summer
Kids could find themselves in serious or fatal situations, and parents cannot claim 'just a few minutes' as an excuse Parents are warned to think twice before leaving their children unattended in cars, even if it's 'just for a few minutes'. Leaving them in the car during a quick errand may seem convenient, but the consequences can be severe. With schools out for summer, there's an anticipated increase in children being left alone in parked cars, raising serious concerns about child safety and the legal implications for parents and bystanders. The Met Office has previously warned that Britain could experience more heatwaves this summer, and combining high temperatures with unsupervised children could become a deadly combination. Even on a seemingly cool day, the temperature inside a car can skyrocket dangerously high within minutes. Omni estimates that approximately 40 children die each year due to being left in overheated cars, with over half of these victims being under two years old. Parents must understand that children are more prone to heatstroke than adults, as their bodies warm up quicker, exacerbating the risk. If you spot a child left alone in a car, immediately dial 999 if they appear distressed or the situation seems very dangerous. While there's no legally defined age, the NSPCC recommends that children under 12 are rarely mature enough to be left alone for extended periods. Under no circumstances should children under five be left alone in a car, reports the Mirror. Adam Jones, legal expert at HD Claims, said: "Many parents believe it's fine to leave their child in the car while they run into the shop or fill up with petrol. But if that child comes to harm, or if the car is stolen with the child inside, the consequences can be devastating, legally and emotionally. There's no legal time limit that makes it 'safe'. If something goes wrong, you're responsible - and that can lead to serious charges." What does the law say? Whilst the UK doesn't have specific laws banning the act of leaving children alone in vehicles, it becomes a criminal matter if the child is put in danger by doing so. The Children and Young Persons Act 1933 makes it an offence to leave a child without supervision "in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health", which can result in prosecution. The severity of penalties varies massively—from police cautions and unlimited fines to a maximum of 10 years behind bars in cases of extreme neglect. Social services may also intervene, particularly where there are repeated incidents. Parents are advised to use their judgment based on the child's maturity and their actions in specific situations. Even if a child seems fine when you leave them, they could become distressed or try to leave the vehicle. What if I see a child locked in a car on a hot day? Ring 999 immediately if you spot a child trapped alone in a vehicle during warm weather. While making the emergency call, test whether the car doors are secured. If you find an unlocked door, open all vehicle doors to allow air circulation and reduce the temperature inside. Remain on the phone with the emergency operator throughout, explaining your every action, as this will create a record of your involvement. If the doors are locked up, ask the call handler what you should do next. If the child seems to be in immediate danger or appears unresponsive, discoloured, or distressed, your instinct may be to break a window and rescue the child. However, you should be aware that this could be deemed criminal damage and you might have to justify your actions later in court. Ensure you inform the police about your intended actions and the reasons behind them. Record your actions with photos or videos and gather the names and contact details of any witnesses to the incident. If you are advised against breaking a window, attempt to shade the child with a piece of clothing.

Parents warned they risk fines and jail time for 'just a few minutes' this summer
People have been warned about the danger that can happen when children are left unattended Parents are being urged to think twice before leaving their children unsupervised in cars — even for 'just a few minutes'. While it might seem easier to leave them in the car if you've got a quick job to do, the consequences are serious. With school finished for the summer, more children are expected to be left alone in parked vehicles, sparking urgent concern over child safety and the law. The Met Office has previously warned that Britain could face even more heatwaves this summer, and pairing extreme temperatures with unattended children could spell danger. Even on a mild day, the temperature inside a car can rise dangerously within minutes. Some statistics estimate that about 40 children die per year due to being left in hot cars, according to Omni, and more than half of them are under two years old. Parents should be aware that children are more susceptible to heatstroke than adults because their bodies heat up faster, making the situation even more serious. If you see a child left alone in a car, dial 999 immediately if they are in distress or the situation appears unsafe. While there's no set age in law, the NSPCC advises that children under 12 are rarely mature enough to be left alone for long periods. Children under five should never be left alone in a car under any circumstances. Adam Jones, legal expert at HD Claims, said: "Many parents believe it's fine to leave their child in the car while they run into the shop or fill up with petrol. But if that child comes to harm, or if the car is stolen with the child inside, the consequences can be devastating, legally and emotionally. There's no legal time limit that makes it 'safe'. If something goes wrong, you're responsible — and that can lead to serious charges." What does the law say? In the UK, there is no specific law that bans leaving a child unattended in a car, but it is an offence if doing so places the child at risk. Under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933, leaving a child unsupervised 'in a manner likely to cause unnecessary suffering or injury to health' can lead to prosecution. Depending on the severity of the case, parents could risk police warnings, unlimited fines, or up to 10 years in prison in extreme neglect cases. Social services could also get involved, especially if repeated concerns are reported. What if I see a child locked in a car on a hot day? Call 999 immediately if you see a child alone in a car on a hot day. As you make the call, check the car doors to see if they are unlocked. If a door is unlocked, open all of the car doors to cool off the interior. Stay on the line with the emergency services operator, detailing everything you are doing. If the doors are locked, ask the operator for advice. If the child appears to be in immediate danger or the child appears to be unresponsive, is discoloured, or in some kind of obvious distress, you may instinctively want to smash a window and rescue the child. But you need to be aware that this could be classed as criminal damage and, potentially, you may need to defend your actions in court. Make sure you tell the police what you intend to do and why. Take pictures or videos to document your actions and also get the names and numbers of witnesses to the incident. If you are advised not to break a window, try shading the child with an item of clothing.
