Rule change follows high court challenge brought by two doctors prevented from working in specialist fields Doctors who have been prevented from working in the NHS while they wait for asylum decisions are celebrating after the Home Office agreed to lift the ban. The changes come into force on Thursday. The changes to the immigration rules follow a high court challenge by two specialist doctors who had the relevant qualifications to work for the NHS but were prevented from taking up work. Doctors who have a break in their practice can quickly become deskilled. Until now, the ban has remained in place despite shortages of doctors and other healthcare professionals in some parts of the NHS. Continue reading...

Saudi Arabia, the world’s top oil exporter, is feeling the squeeze from a war that’s choking off one of global energy’s most critical arteries. Shipments to China and India are set to drop next month, said traders familiar with the matter, as disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz forced Aramco to reroute some flows via its Red Sea pipeline, a workaround that only partly offsets the hit. The result: tighter supplies for Asia, higher costs for importers, and a growing sense that markets may be underestimating just how quickly this conflict is spilling into the real economy. That complacency is worrying some of the biggest names on Wall Street. BlackRock President Rob Kapito warns investors are mispricing the risks from the Iran war, arguing the hit to growth and inflation could linger even if the fighting stopped tomorrow. With supply chains snarled, he said oil could still spike toward $150 a barrel, while Apollo’s Jim Zelter flagged rising risks for a US recession and strain on the credit cycle from a prolonged conflict. Markets, in other words, may be bracing for a quick end, even as the shock is only just beginning to bite. What You Need to Know Today Oil is climbing again as mixed signals from Washington and Tehran cloud the outlook for any ceasefire, with the near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz driving one of the biggest supply shocks in decades. Brent is now on track for its largest monthly gain since 1990, as millions of barrels of daily output remain offline and energy markets swing between hopes of diplomacy and the reality of ongoing attacks. Trump administration officials are game-planning extreme scenarios like $200 oil, according to people familiar with the matter. The risks to energy flows were underscored by a suspected undersea attack on a crude tanker in the Black Sea. Germany is quietly preparing a playbook for a potential future clash with the US under President Trump, people familiar with the effort told Bloomberg. Officials have begun mappi...

panumas nikomkai Carlyle ( CG ) and KKR ( KKR ) will build two data centers on military bases for the US Army at a cost of $2 billion each, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll. The army will provide long-term leases to the firms, which will be responsible for building and operating the centers. The army will not invest in the project, the report said. Carlyle ( CG ) will build a 2.5-3 gigawatt data center at Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas. KKR will use its portfolio company CyrusOne, jointly owned with BlackRock ( BLK ), to build a 1 GW data center at Dugway Proving Ground in Utah. The deal allows the army to use a certain percentage of the data centres’ capacity exclusively. The army, KKR ( KKR ), and Carlyle don’t yet have final agreements but are negotiating exclusively, the report said.

Sewage spills in England fell by more than a third last year as unusually dry weather curbed storm overflows, but the country’s water industry remains far short of its pollution targets. England’s storm overflows spilled 291,492 times in 2025, 35% less than in the previous year, according to Environment Agency data. The total spill duration was nearly 1.9 million hours compared with 3.6 million hours in 2024. “It is good to see that storm overflow spills are down since the previous year, but there is still an unacceptable amount of sewage entering our waterways and a long way to go in cleaning up our rivers, lakes and seas,” Water Minister Emma Hardy said in a statement. The government has set a target to cut pollution by 50% by 2030 but the Environment Agency said that last year’s reduction was largely due to drought, rather than significant improvements to asset health. Heavy rain this year is pushing up spills again, it said. Rainwater and sewage share the same pipes in Britain. Storm overflows act as relief valves if the system is at risk of being overwhelmed, spilling effluent into watercourses. That can kill fish and sicken people and animals who swim in the water. “While the dry weather in 2025 will have led to fewer spills, we are also starting to see the effect of a tripling of water company investment,” a spokesperson for industry body Water UK said in an email. “By building bigger storm tanks and expanding capacity at sewage treatment works, we will halve spills over the next five years.” The data doesn’t show how many spills were illegally made on dry days, with water company permits only allowing them to discharge sewage when it’s raining. The campaign group Surfers Against Sewage said its analysis showed water companies discharged sewage on dry days for over 187,241 hours in 2025, including 7,885 hours into designated bathing waters. The group said it recorded 20 cases of sickness reported by water users linked to confirmed dry-day sewage discharges. T...

On March 17, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) officially classified Cardano (CRYPTO: ADA) as a "digital commodity," thereby confirming it is not considered as a security under federal law. That's a real win because it clarifies the coin's legal status such that players with a lot of capital might be willing to invest in it or participate in its ecosystem. But 15 other cryptocurrencies got the same classification as Cardano did at the same time. So does this new regulatory guidance mean that Cardano is de-risked enough to justify a $500 investment, or is it still in a questionable competitive position? Image source: Getty Images.
