BBC presenter sent abusive and menacing messages to second young person The presenter reacted by sending a number of threatening messages, which BBC News has seen. BBC News has been able to verify that the messages were sent from a phone number belonging to the presenter. https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66165766

So what you saying is the BBC should have referred the matter to the police shortly after they received the complaint about a BBC presenter on May 18 rather than wait until July 10th before making contact with the police 18 May: A family member of a young person attends a BBC building to make a complaint about a BBC presenter 6 July: The Sun informs the BBC via the press office, of allegations concerning a BBC presenter On the same day the presenter is spoken to by a senior manager and then taken off air while the allegations are investigated https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-66159469

I do recall a few years ago where the BBC and South Yorkshire Police filmed a raid on someone private house in Sunningdale Live footage from a helicopter which took part in the raid was beamed around the world. repeatedly At the time the BBC legal team made a statement "on behalf of the BBC, Gavin Millar QC said that "XXXXX" position meant that he did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy." as XXXXX was a well known public figure He also stated "He went on to argue that the BBC reporter was "exercising a fundamental human right of freedom of expression". At the time the BBC line of defence was "The BBC is defending the case, arguing that there was a “legitimate public interest” in its coverage." Do you expect to see an similar raid take place complete with Helicopter on the BBC presenter that has recently been suspended

The director-general and the executive directors were informed and an incident management group was launched. The presenter was spoken to and once the complaining family provided material to the BBC, he was suspended and the police were contacted. https://www.bbc.com/news/live/uk-66159469 Clearly a difference of opinion between the lawyer and the BBC

The price war on EVs may harm interests of customers
vinny41 replied to Social Media's topic in Thailand Motor Discussion
Of the nearly 850,000 new cars registered in Thailand last year, only around 1% were EVs, according to government data. But between January and April this year, that proportion rose to more than 6%. https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/china-led-ev-boom-thailand-threatens-japans-grip-key-market-2023-07-09/#:~:text=Of the nearly 850%2C000 new,rose to more than 6%. For some brands that sell both EV's and ICE I suspect they are not fussed on what you buy so long as its a vehicle from their Brands I suspect when EV's reach a total share of the market of 25-30% of sales that we will see a fightback from ICE brands a major cost cutting promotion to undercut EV sales EV price cuts occurred today in China GM cuts Lyriq EV price in China by 14% as market pressures intensify https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/gm-cuts-lyriq-ev-price-china-by-14-after-vw-discounts-2023-07-10/ -

The price war on EVs may harm interests of customers

It would appear this field of cars is more of a failure of car sharing (Car rental without anyone cleaning of making sure the car is in A1 condition ready for next Rental) Their growth was sparked partially by attempting to cash in on the sharing economy (even though, again, this is closer to rental than sharing) https://www.scmp.com/abacus/tech/article/3029238/thousands-shared-electric-cars-seen-discarded-hangzhou -

Gerhard Huemer of SMEUnited said: “What we see most of is Eastern Europeans having returned home during the pandemic and choosing not to head back to Western Europe now.” Indeed, some companies are already offering better working conditions. According to a survey by the Manpower group, for example, 64% of companies in Slovenia are planning to raise wages.https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/labour-shortages-felt-all-over-europe/ Reading this and you will understand why they didn't come back Eastern European workers: exploitation in the construction industry and enforcement by regulatory agencies Gangmasters from Romania who have trafficked and exploited construction workers and been found to have imposed oppressive conditions in order to reap financial rewards have been prosecuted under the Modern Slavery Act. In R v David Lugar,[25] the defendant was convicted at the Inner London Crown Court on seven counts of holding another person in slavery or servitude or requiring them to perform fraud and compulsory labour. https://www.ibanet.org/clint-june-2021-eastern-european-workers-exploitation-construction-regulation-enforcement Similar exploitation happens in the farming industry six Lithuanian nationals, who were agricultural workers, filed a lawsuit in the UK against DJ Hougton Chicken Catching Services, accusing the company of human trafficking. The claimants alleged that they were trafficked to the UK with the involvement of a Lithuanian national who was paid for this service by the defendants. On arrival in the UK, the claimants say they were severely exploited by the company, based in Kent,

Problem is not everyone received furlough payments some workers were just told sorry we have to shut Some Airline tried to rehire staff that they let go during Covid but some bright spark in the airlines suggested why don't we pay them less, and provide contracts with reduced terms and conditions Some people that did receive furlough payments took the opportunity improved their education and skill set so they wouldn't have to accept a low paying job with no job security and terrible working conditions

The result is that the High Court's decision that Rwanda was a safe third country is reversed and that unless and until the deficiencies in its asylum processes are corrected removal of asylum-seekers to Rwanda will be unlawful. https://www.judiciary.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/AAA-v-SSHD-summary-290623.pdf There was a further 5 points raised by the asylum seekers and the charity which were dismissed by the Court Some of the claimant's wanted the court to rule that the entire policy was unlawful but the court didn't

Unlikely to get replacements from the EU as they have the same issues since Covid people are more focused on quality of life rather than working for a pittance with terrible working conditions, unsocial hours and zero job security https://www.socialeurope.eu/not-so-much-a-shortage-of-skills-as-a-shortage-of-pay The EU recently published a report listing the Top 10 shortages occupations and the Top 10 surpluses occupations https://www.ela.europa.eu/en/news/labour-shortages-europe-labour-market-tightening

Or if you go back further some scholars argued that the policies of the UK Government during the Irish Famine was a deliberate act of genocide by the British government. Over 1 million Irish people died Last Conquest of Ireland https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/distributed/L/bo58743592.html Clearly UNHCR doesn't seem to have an issue evacuating refugees and asylum-seekers from Libya to Rwanda as it has been doing so since 2019 and in 2021 extended its MOU to December 2023 https://www.unhcr.org/rw/who-we-help/evacuees-from-libya-emergency-transit-mechanism-centre

Tony Blair tried to implement a similar scheme in 2004 initially with Tanzania and then with South Africa, the Tanzanian Government declined his offer of extra funding David Blunkett submitted a proposal to the EU commission to hold all asylum seekers outside the EU in reception center's while there asylum claim was reviewed Turkey, Russia and Ukraine were listed as possible locations for these reception center's https://www.politico.eu/article/uk-plan-to-hold-asylum-seekers-outside-eu-set-to-divide-states/

Not sure where you get the idea that Rwanda doesn't accept any asylum seekers As clearly shown from the report by the UNHCR in the Situation analysis section In addition, while the refugee situation in Rwanda has largely been a protracted one, increasing instability in Eastern DRC during the latter part of 2022 and early 2023 has forced people to flee across the border to Rwanda. As of end of March 2023, around 6,000 new arrivals have been recorded. https://reporting.unhcr.org/operational/operations/rwanda
