Alexander Shapovalov Tesla ( TSLA ) has begun an aggressive hiring push for self-driving and autopilot-related roles across China, signaling renewed efforts to accelerate its delayed Full Self-Driving (FSD) rollout in the world’s largest EV market. The company has posted “urgent” openings for autopilot test engineers, data labelers, and real-road test operators in at least nine Chinese cities including Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou. The hiring comes as Tesla ( TSLA ) faces repeated delays in rolling out its advanced driver-assistance technology, marketed as FSD, in China. The Chinese regulatory approval for broader FSD deployment is still pending, with Tesla previously indicating approval may come by Q3 2026. China is viewed as critical for Tesla’s ( TSLA ) AI and robo-taxi ambitions, especially as domestic rivals like Xiaomi and Huawei accelerate their own smart-driving systems. The company reportedly has about 1.3M FSD subscriptions, but the broader rollout continues to lag expectations.

Vladimir Putin met with Xi Jinping in Beijing, with the shadow of wars in Ukraine and Iran looming. “A comprehensive ceasefire is imperative, restarting war is even more unacceptable, and adhering to negotiations is particularly important,” Xi said.

Hong Kong authorities have approved 820 additional flights and fast-tracked 4,100 adjustment applications to help airlines respond to sudden surges in passenger and cargo demand amid the Middle East conflict. “We are actively engaging airlines to encourage them to deploy extra cargo capacity to connect Hong Kong International Airport with destinations currently experiencing service shortfalls due to the Middle East situation,” Secretary for Transport and Logistics Mable Chan told the Legislative Council on Wednesday. US and Israeli strikes on Iran since late February have driven up global fuel prices and disrupted air transport. Advertisement Chan highlighted the city’s efficient and transparent flight approval process, which enables airlines to respond swiftly to passenger and cargo demand arising from the disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict. The Civil Aviation Department has approved about 820 additional flight applications and expedited around 4,100 flight adjustment applications since early March. Mable Chan says authorities have asked airlines to review their fuel surcharges more frequently. Photo: Jonathan Wong Her remarks came after lawmaker Ben Chan Han-pan questioned whether rising fuel surcharges could undermine the competitiveness of Hong Kong’s air cargo industry.

UK inflation slowed to 2.8% in April, according to official figures, as a reduction in the household energy price cap helped soften the sharp rise in fuel costs since the start of the Iran war. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) said the consumer prices index measure of inflation eased from March’s reading of 3.3%, suggesting the impact of the Iran war has not yet hit UK households as much as feared. Economists had been expecting inflation to slow to 3%, partly because of the impact of Ofgem’s lower energy price cap, which reduced the typical annual dual-fuel bill in Great Britain to £1,641 from April compared with £1,849 a year earlier. The slowdown in inflation will be welcome news for the chancellor, Rachel Reeves, after she shifted some green energy costs away from household bills and into general taxation in her November budget to help ensure bills fell from April. Water bills and vehicle excise duty also increased by less in April this year compared with 2025, when they both rose sharply, while the early Easter affected prices such as air fares in comparison with last year. However, economists believe the drop in inflation is unlikely to last as petrol and diesel prices have soared since the start of the Middle East conflict, reflecting a jump in the global oil price to more than $110 a barrel as the closure of the critical strait of Hormuz affects energy supplies. The drop in the inflation rate comes after ONS data released on Tuesday showed wage growth slowed and unemployment rose in March. The figures are likely to reduce the likelihood of the Bank of England raising interest rates at its next meeting on 18 June. Rate-setters at the Bank have to find a balance between containing inflation and not denting economic activity. The Bank held rates at 3.75% at its meeting last month but said it was prepared to push up the cost of borrowing if inflation continued to rise. More details soon …

Stamp duty should be scrapped and replaced with a new property wealth tax to fix London’s housing crisis, a leading thinktank has proposed. A report on the capital’s property market suggests an annual tax to replace the levy paid when buying a property and council tax would encourage downsizing and raise funds for social housing. It would also help renters to save a house deposit. The research, by the Centre for London, highlighted disparities in space between the poorest and wealthiest homeowners. It found average floor space for each person rose by almost 30% between 2004 and 2023, but this additional space went disproportionately to higher-income owner-occupiers. Households in the top 20% of incomes have seen a 27% rise in space owned, whereas the bottom 40% had a rise of 6%. This means that, despite London having more housing available to use for each person than 20 years ago, housing inequality has widened. This is just one of the acute problems of London’s housing market described in the report: homelessness costs £5.5m a day and record numbers of Londoners are living in temporary accommodation. House prices are 12 times earnings (up from seven in the early 2000s) and a third of children live in poverty after housing costs, the report finds. Businesses also say the unaffordability of housing is strangling growth, investment and talent. “By every metric that matters, the housing crisis is at its worst,” said Rob Anderson, the director of research at the Centre for London and co-author of the report. The paper outlines radical reforms, including scrapping stamp duty and council tax and replacing them with a partly devolved annual proportional property tax (PPT) that could pay for 106,000 social and affordable homes over the next decade. Homeowners with the largest properties in the most expensive areas would pay the most tax under the proposed system. PPT would be calculated as a percentage of the value of the home. On those worth up to £800,000, the average bas...
