Families of nurses and carers have said they fear being torn apart under an immigration crackdown condemned as “an act of economic vandalism”. A survey of more than 1,000 people, many of whom moved to Britain to work or study, found that three in five worry about being separated from their relatives. Two-thirds said they felt less welcome in the UK as a result of Shabana Mahmood’s proposals, according to the charity Praxis. More than half said they were less likely to remain in the UK. The home secretary is facing opposition from Labour MPs over an overhaul of immigration rules that has been seen as an attempt to combat the rise of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Ministers want to double the time it takes most migrant workers to qualify for permanent residence, from five years to 10. For people in jobs below graduate level – including many care workers – the default will be extended to 15 years. In a Praxis survey of 1,072 people likely to be affected by the changes, nearly half were on work visas, with one in three working in health and social care, one in 10 in education, and 15% in IT. One in seven were on family visas, and 12% were Hongkongers who moved to Britain after the imposition of China’s national security law in Hong Kong in 2020. Minnie Rahman, the chief executive of Praxis, said: “Our findings highlight that these proposals are yet another act of economic vandalism from our government. “We all know migrants bring vital skills and experience to crucial sectors of our economy – almost half of those who took part in our survey work in critical sectors like the NHS, social care and IT. The government needs to stop penalising migrant communities and start reflecting that reality.” More than 300,000 children already living in the UK could be forced to wait 10 years for settled status under the changes, according to research published this week by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR). Nursing leaders have said as many as 50,000 nurses could leave the UK ...

The brand has left the mainland China market. Photo: 36kr It announced its withdrawal in November and closed all its bricks-and-mortar and online shops within a month.

Triumph boasts a decades-long history of shaping the global lingerie market . Advertisement In 1979, a year after China’s reform and opening up, the brand entered the country via outsourcing. It established its first factory in 1992.

Give me breakfast in bed over a bunch of limp supermarket roses any day. Nothing says “I love you” more genuinely than a decadent tray of delicious things to savour between the sheets. Because V-Day falls on a weekend this year, you can do better than just buttered toast and an unbidden cup of tea. Whether it’s sweet or savoury (or even a cheeky cocktail), I’ve got you! Saffron crepes with cavolo nero and smoked trout (pictured top) These French crepes are given the Midas touch with a pinch of saffron. Use your favourite fish – mackerel and salmon also work well here. Prep 20 min Steep 20 min Chill 30 min Cook 30 min Makes 4 250ml milk 1 pinch saffron strands 40g unsalted butter, plus extra, melted, for brushing 1 egg, lightly beaten ½ tsp salt 75g buckwheat flour 2 tbsp plain flour 150g hot smoked trout, flaked Creme fraiche, to serve Finely grated zest of 1 lemon, to serve For the cavolo nero 2 tbsp olive oil, plus extra to finish 1 garlic clove, peeled and finely sliced Finely grated zest of 1 lemon 1 pinch chilli flakes (optional) 200g cavolo nero, leaves stripped and chopped Sea salt and black pepper Warm 50ml of the milk in a small saucepan until it’s lukewarm, then crumble in the saffron, take off the heat and leave to steep for 20 minutes. Put the butter in a small saucepan on a high heat until foaming and nutty, then take off the heat and leave to cool. Put the butter, egg, saffron and milk in a blender and blitz until just combined. Add the salt and both flours, blend until smooth, then refrigerate for 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 140C (120C fan)/275F/gas 1 and line an oven tray with baking paper. Put a 21cm crepe pan on a medium heat, brush with melted butter, then add 60ml of the batter, swirling to spread it evenly over the base of the pan. Cook until the edges turn golden, then transfer to a tray and keep warm in the low oven while you cook the remaining crepes. For the cavolo nero, put the olive oil in a pan on a low heat, add the garlic, lemon zest a...

Trondheim, 11 February 2026 NORBIT delivered record-high revenues of NOK 2.5 billion million for the financial year 2025, with an operating profit (EBIT) for the full-year period at NOK 555.4 million, representing a margin of 22 per cent. The fourth quarter also set a record, with revenues reaching NOK 791.1 million - an increase of 42 per cent compared to the same period in 2024. The EBIT result for the quarter was NOK 178.4 million, representing a margin of 23 per cent. The Oceans segment reported revenues of NOK 213.4 million, a 21 per cent decrease from Q4 2024, with an EBIT margin of 26 per cent. The Connectivity segment reached revenues of NOK 190.2 million, an increase of 25 per cent, and an EBIT margin of 28 per cent. The Product Innovation & Realization segment achieved a revenue growth of 173 per cent to NOK 407.9 million, with an EBIT margin of 22 per cent. The board of directors has proposed a dividend of NOK 5.00 per share for the financial year 2025. "2025 marked another year of record performance for NORBIT, reflecting consistent progress across all key parameters. All business units delivered strong results, with accumulated growth of 43 per cent. Revenues exceeded NOK 2.5 billion, EBIT amounted to NOK 555 million, corresponding to an EBIT margin of 22 per cent, and return on capital employed reached 34 per cent. Still, being a development-oriented team, we see room for improvement in several areas. While another year of record performance provides cause for satisfaction, it is particularly motivating to be part of a team that consistently focuses on what can be improved rather than celebrating results. This mindset applies across all segments, both in the fourth quarter and for the full-year 2025, where we see potential for even stronger performance ahead”, says Per Jørgen Weisethaunet, CEO of NORBIT. Outlook for 2026 and beyond The outlook for NORBIT remains positive, supported by continued high activity in all three business segments. In February ...

EBIT for kvartalet ble NOK 178,4 millioner, tilsvarende en margin på 23 prosent. Oceans-segmentet rapporterte inntekter på NOK 213,4 millioner, en nedgang på 21 prosent fra fjerde kvartal 2024, med en EBIT-margin på 26 prosent. Connectivity-segmentet oppnådde inntekter på NOK 190,2 millioner, en økning på 25 prosent, og en EBIT-margin på 28 prosent. Product Innovation & Realization-segmentet leverte en inntektsvekst på 173 prosent til NOK 407,9 millioner, med en EBIT-margin på 22 prosent. Styret har foreslått et utbytte på NOK 5,00 per aksje for regnskapsåret 2025. «2025 ble nok et rekordår for NORBIT og reflekterer en vedvarende solid utvikling på alle finansielle måleparametre. Sterke resultater fra alle forretningsområder ga en akkumulert vekst på 43 prosent. Inntektene oversteg NOK 2,5 milliarder, EBIT endte på NOK 555 millioner, tilsvarende en EBIT-margin på 22 prosent, og avkastning på sysselsatt kapital nådde 34 prosent. Til tross for dette ser vi, med en utviklingsorientert legning, rom for forbedringer på flere områder. Selv om rekordresultater kan gi grunn til tilfredshet, er det særlig motiverende å være del av et team som konsekvent retter blikket mot hva som kan forbedres, fremfor å feire oppnådde resultater. Denne tilnærmingen gjelder på tvers av alle segmenter, både i fjerde kvartal og for året som helhet, og understreker potensialet for ytterligere forbedringer», sier konsernsjef i NORBIT, Per Jørgen Weisethaunet. Utsikter for 2026 og videre Utsiktene for NORBIT er positive, støttet av fortsatt høy aktivitet i alle tre forretningssegmenter. I februar 2024 presenterte NORBIT en strategiplan med ambisjon om å levere mer en...

The period was marked by tangible advances in portfolio management and the optimisation of risk-weighted assets (RWA). We made further progress on right-sizing our cost base and realising profitable growth, particularly in mortgages and wealth management. Macroeconomic conditions in the Netherlands remained robust despite labour‑market tightness and global trade uncertainties. We expect Dutch house prices to continue to rise in 2026, though at a more moderate pace. With continued geopolitical and economic uncertainty, it remains important to support our clients across Northwest Europe. Our client units made significant contributions to our profitable growth. Personal & Business Banking further expanded Dutch residential mortgage production. Our fourth-quarter market share increased to 21% as we helped more clients purchase or refinance homes in the robust Dutch housing market. Wealth Management increased client assets by EUR 5.1 billion to more than EUR 283 billion. Core net new assets amounted to EUR 1.9 billion, mainly driven by higher deposits. We continue to invest in our client franchises.

Siemens Energy AG is on track for another year of rising revenue as surging electricity demand continues to bolster sales of its gas turbines and power-grid products. Group orders jumped by over a third to €17.6 billion ($20.9 billion) in the fiscal first quarter, the German manufacturer said Wednesday. Its gas business reported its highest-ever order intake. Siemens Energy has been benefiting from the growing use of electricity by industry, data centers and artificial intelligence applications. The company’s stock has gained around a quarter since January, making it the best performer in the German DAX Index this year. Read More: The Wait for Gas Turbines Risks Sparking a New Energy Crunch Last week, the company said it will invest $1 billion in the US, its largest single market, to expand production capacity for gas turbines and grid products. The country accounted for 40% of Siemens Energy’s gas turbine orders in the first quarter. Group profit more than doubled to €1 billion in the period amid improvements at its grid technology business and productivity increases at wind unit Siemens Gamesa . While the division’s orders slumped 34%, Siemens Energy pointed to an exceptionally strong prior-year period, when it booked a €1.4 billion offshore wind turbine deal. The manufacturer confirmed its guidance for 2026. It still expects Gamesa to break even this fiscal year.

Worawith Ounpeng/iStock via Getty Images By Lynn Song , Chief Economist, Greater China CPI inflation softer than expected to start the year CPI inflation fell to 0.2% YoY in January, down from 0.8% YoY, coming in lower than market forecasts. The main culprit for this decline was food prices, which fell -0.7% YoY, down sharply from 1.1% YoY in December. This directionality was well expected, as the Lunar New Year fell in late January for 2025, while it is mid-February for 2026; households tend to ramp up food purchases for celebrations during, but especially at the start of, the Lunar New Year holidays, which usually coincides with a price increase for food prices. This effect will likely reverse in February's inflation data, and overall we are still expecting food inflation to be higher in 2026 versus 2025. In terms of the food products causing the biggest drag in January, we had pork (-13.7%), eggs (-9.2%), and alcohol (-1.8%). Non-food inflation also slowed a little more than expected, however, down to 0.4% YoY from 0.8% YoY. This marked a six-month low for non-food inflation. The picture for non-food prices was quite mixed. On the one hand, certain categories were in negative territory, such as transportation and communication (-3.4%), travel and tourism services (-6.6%), as well as rents (-0.4%). Other categories saw relatively noticeable pickups in inflation, such as household appliances (6.6%) and communication appliances (1.3%), tied to the trade-in policy impact. Overall, CPI inflation continued to rise at a decent 0.2% month-on-month pace, suggesting that overall we are still on track to see a general recovery of inflation in 2026 for now. We hold our full year CPI inflation forecast at 0.9% YoY, with the key risks to the forecast being how policy rolls out domestically, and international price developments. PPI inflation, on the other hand, continued its recovery trend, as hinted at by the PMI data earlier this month, rising to -1.4% YoY, up from -1.9% YoY...

This report is from this week's CNBC's The China Connection newsletter, which brings you insights and analysis on what's driving the world's second-largest economy. You can subscribe here. The big story Over the last few years in China, it's gotten easier to buy food straight from the farm. Whether it's boxes of apples or bags of vacuum-sealed corn-on-the-cob, online orders placed through popular e-commerce apps take just a couple of days to arrive in Beijing. China's food safety standards are still a work in progress. But what I've noticed is that even if the apples from a nearby supermarket taste artificial — the ones I can order from the countryside taste like the ones I ate in the U.S. And I can't say it's just as easy to get apples shipped from a New York orchard.

Cfoto | Future Publishing | Getty Images The economics behind this consumer experience boil down to a few key differences at the heart of the U.S.-China trade story. Over the past decade of trade tensions, the U.S. has repeatedly asked China to buy more American agricultural products. But many American farmers have lost sales under the Trump administration's tariffs. As the largest U.S. agricultural export by value, soybeans get the headlines. But even there, the White House has struggled to define the deadline for new Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans. China did buy a record amount last year — mostly from Brazil. But Beijing's end goal is food security — reducing reliance on other countries. That's where corn comes in. Chinese researchers are developing corn with higher protein that could replace significant amounts of soybean imports . Most of those soybeans are used in animal feed that supports domestic meat production. Here, China has a clear goal to boost self-sufficiency. By 2030, China aims to cut the amount of soymeal in animal feed to just 10% . Notably, Beijing this month called for incre...
