Texas Governor Greg Abbott said on Tuesday that he spoke with Elon Musk, the chief executive of Tesla Inc (TSLA.O), in recent days about a potential move of the company’s electric vehicle assembly plant to the Lone Star state. Abbott’s remarks came just came three days after Musk threatened to move Tesla’s headquarters and future operations to either Texas or Nevada, after officials in the California county where Tesla’s only U.S. vehicle factory is located said the plant could not reopen because coronavirus lockdown measures remained in place. Abbott said during an interview with the Wichita Falls CBS affiliate that…

Britain’s economy shrank by a record 5.8% in March as the coronavirus crisis escalated and the government shut down much of the country, according to official data that point towards an even bigger hit to come. The monthly drop in gross domestic product was felt in almost all sectors – from the country’s shuttered restaurants and bars to its building sites and factories – and was the largest since comparable records began in 1997. “The sharp contraction in UK Q1 GDP comes as little surprise, but does clearly highlight the magnitude of the challenge facing policymakers,” JP Morgan market strategist…

England tentatively began easing its coronavirus lockdown on Wednesday, with some people who cannot do their jobs at home urged to return to work, as stark economic data showed the disastrous impact of the pandemic.

The European Central Bank is the champion of the European project, not its villain, ECB rate-setter Peter Kazimir said, pushing back on a German court ruling that put years of efforts to keep the currency bloc together in jeopardy. Germany’s Constitutional Court ruled last week that the ECB had overstepped its mandate with two trillion euros worth of government bond buying in the past five years. It ordered the Bundesbank to quit the scheme unless the ECB can prove within three months that the measures are necessary. “The European Court of Justice has sole authority to decide on the ECB’s…

The U.S. Second Circuit Appeals Court will on Tuesday consider arguments by an ex-Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS.L) employee who is suing the U.S. Justice Department and Securities and Exchange Commission for a bounty he says he is owed under a whistleblower program. The suit brought by former RBS risk manager Victor Hong could result in a landmark ruling if the court finds the agencies broke the law, or force them to reconsider his case or produce documents that may shed light on how they handled it. In February, Hong filed a petition with the court alleging the agencies flouted…

None of the big oil companies currently meet U.N. targets to limit global warming despite the most ambitious targets set by Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.L) and Eni (ENI.MI), investors managing $19 trillion said on Tuesday. The Transition Pathway Initiative (TPI), which represents the investors and is co-chaired by the Church of England Pensions Board, called on all oil and gas producers to set both intensity-based and absolute emissions reductions targets so that the industry adheres to a common standard on ‘net zero’ emissions. Burning of oil and gas accounts for the vast majority of the world’s carbon emissions. TPI, in…

Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the business ministry would set out details of how employers could make workplaces safer. “This stuff isn’t straight forward but we’ll be coming forward with a huge amount of more detail on how to make work places safe today,” Hancock said. “We work not only with employers but also with the trade unions who last night called…

Britain’s government should extend a costly job support programme until the end of the year for retail and hospitality workers hit hardest by the coronavirus, a think tank said on Tuesday, ahead of an expected government announcement. The Resolution Foundation said the scheme should remain open to workers in all sectors until early August – more than a month longer than planned – and that businesses should be able to bring workers back part-time from June. Finance minister Rishi Sunak is due later on Tuesday to address the future of the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, which currently supports more than…

Vitamin D is essential for healthy bones. In the UK we get most of our vitamin D from sunlight exposure from around late March/early April to the end of September.
