Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:03:54 GMT

LONDON — The U.K. has announced a deal with Turkey aimed at disrupting smuggling gangs organizing small boat Channel crossings.Announcing the agreement Wednesday morning, the Home Office said U.K. and Turkish law enforcement officers will “step up joint operations” in an attempt to disrupt the supply of boat parts and other materials used by asylum seekers to make the journey to England.

Sunak’s Conservatives are currently trailing Labour 19 percentage points in the polls.

Italian government softens shock 40 percent bank tax 

Published Wed, 05 Mar 2025 18:03:54 GMT

The Italian government has backtracked from plans to levy a one-off 40 percent windfall tax on banks after the news caught markets by surprise and shares plummeted. In a statement released late Tuesday, the finance ministry said a cap of 0.1 percent of banks’ total assets would be applied for the tax, announced 24 hours previously, in order to “safeguard financial stability.” While no limit had been specified during the original announcement on Monday, the follow-up was widely perceived as a watering down of the proposal that had caused bank shares to sharply drop. The SX7E index, a key measure of eurozone banks, recovered slightly on what Italian media described as the evening’s “clarification.” When the Italian government announced the plan ministers said the profits reaped by banks from rising interest rates had not been passed onto people hit by the cost-of-living crisis. It said the proceeds of the tax would be used to fund tax cuts and mortgage relief. Mark...

One swing of Kyle Tucker’s bat turned what would have been one of the Orioles’ best wins of the season into one of their worst losses.Félix Bautista entered his office Tuesday evening with a three-run lead — an advantage almost insurmountable against a pitcher having the type of season Baltimore’s closer is. But the 6-foot-8 right-hander allowed three of the first four Houston Astros batters to reach, bringing up Tucker with the bases loaded. On the ninth pitch of the at-bat, the two-time All-Star turned on a center-cut 100.4 mph fastball and deposited it into the right field bleachers.The grand slam was enough for Astros closer Ryan Pressly, who slammed the door in the ninth, as Houston won, 7-6, and ended Baltimore’s four-game winning streak. Pressly retired Jordan Westburg, Adam Frazier and Ryan O’Hearn in order to end the game.“Honestly, I just think it wasn’t my day,” Bautista said through team interpreter Brandon Quino...
