Russian drivers banned from racing in Britain

Uralkali is owned by Mazepin’s father, oligarch Dmitry Mazepin, and the fate of the partnership and the Russian’s continued presence at the team is set to be decided this week…reports Asian Lite News

Formula One driver Nikita Mazepin will not be able to race in the British Grand Prix on his Russian license after Motorsport UK on Wednesday banned Russian and Belarusian license holders from racing amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

The move by Britain’s motor racing federation comes a day after the sport’s governing body FIA said Russian and Belarusian drivers would be allowed to compete in a “neutral capacity” under an “FIA flag” following an extraordinary meeting of its World Motor Sport Council (WMSC).

“We stand united with the people of Ukraine and the motorsport community following the invasion and the unacceptable actions that have unfolded,” said Motorsport UK Chair David Richards, who attended Tuesday’s WMSC meeting, in a statement.

“This is a time for the international motorsport community to act and show support for the people of Ukraine and our colleagues at the Federation Automobile d’Ukraine (FAU).”

Motorsport UK said its decision was made in full consultation with the British Government and national sports governing bodies.

Mazepin, the only Russian on the Formula One grid, already faces an uncertain future after his U.S.-owned Haas team removed all branding related to Russian potash producer and title sponsor Uralkali on the final day of last week’s Barcelona test.

Uralkali is owned by Mazepin’s father, oligarch Dmitry Mazepin, and the fate of the partnership and the Russian’s continued presence at the team is set to be decided this week.

Motorsport UK also announced a ban on Russian and Belarusian-licensed teams competing in the UK. It banned the display of Russian or Belarusian national symbols, colours or flags, even on team uniforms, equipment and cars, at Motorsport UK-permitted events.

The organisation’s move raises the prospect of other national motorsport federations applying similar restrictions for their home Formula One races. The British Grand Prix is scheduled for July 3 at Silverstone. Belarus has been a key staging area for the Russian invasion.

India to seek duty cuts on textiles in trade pact with Britain

Queries to the ministry of commerce and industry, and the British high commission in New Delhi remained unanswered till press time…reports Asian Lite News

New Delhi will seek duty exemptions for labour-intensive exports, including textiles, besides easier market access for fisheries, pharmaceuticals and agriculture products, during the second round of India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) talks, said two government officials.

The negotiations, scheduled to take place between 7 and 18 March, will also explore the possibility of an early-harvest agreement, or a mini FTA, for the short-term, as the two countries continue with the talks to iron out differences on sensitive issues.

India is seeking to conclude at least six bilateral trade agreements this year. Last week, New Delhi signed a comprehensive economic partnership agreement (CEPA) with the UAE for zero-duty access to 90% of Indian products. The deal was closed in a record 88 days.

“The UK agreement will be broader in scope compared with the one India had with the UAE. Duty cuts on textile and exports from labour-intensive sectors, such as leather, footwear, gems and jewellery, are among India’s 10-12 big-ticket wish-list,” said one of the two officials, seeking anonymity.

“Marine products will benefit a lot. India is also looking for access to the UK for pharma and agri products. Besides, trade restrictions that are not tariff-related are also being discussed,” said a second official, also requesting anonymity. The interim deal is expected to cover 65% of goods, and up to 40% of services for concessional or duty-free access. However, the final agreement may cover 90%-plus products.

Queries to the ministry of commerce and industry, and the British high commission in New Delhi remained unanswered till press time.

India has a positive trade balance with the UK, but has been losing its market share in certain key products to other developing countries after the withdrawal of the Generalized System of Preferences (GSP). “Therefore, it is in the interest of the industry to get zero tariffs in the UK in sectors (such as apparel) where GSP has been withdrawn,” said Arpita Mukherjee, professor, Icrier. Meanwhile, the UK is negotiating access for its services sector, such as legal and accountancy, besides lower tariffs for its Scotch whiskey, which faces 150% duty.

In January, both countries had reiterated their commitment to more than double the value of UK-India trade by 2030. India had a $3.3 billion trade surplus with the UK in 2020-21. The UK is India’s seventh-largest export market, accounting for 2.8% of its total exports, as of June 2021. Resolution Foundation, a UK think-tank, said in a report that British firms were set to gain from a “first mover” advantage ahead of the US and European Union (EU) in India as a result of the FTA, which has the potential to overshadow other major UK trade deals.

The Joint Statement of the 15th Meeting of the India-UK Joint Economic and Trade Committee said both countries “looked forward to the first shipment of apples and medical devices into India and welcomed the listing of 56 new Indian fisheries establishments”.

Britain set to impose sanctions on Russia

The package would target “those complicit in the violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity,” after Russian troops were ordered to enter the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, reports Asian Lite News

Boris Johnson is set to chair a meeting of the UK’s emergency Cobra committee on Tuesday to sign off a package of sanctions against Russia after its military occupation of the two breakaway states in eastern Ukraine.

The package would target “those complicit in the violation of Ukraine’s territorial integrity,” after Russian troops were ordered to enter the separatist regions of Donetsk and Luhansk for the first time overnight.

Downing St said that Johnson would hold the emergency meeting to discuss the rapidly unfolding crisis – and to agree what a spokesperson said was “a significant package of sanctions to be introduced immediately”.

That came after Johnson held an evening call with his Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and gave him an indication on how the UK would help Kyiv, without resorting to direct military intervention.

The UK has been in close discussions with the EU and the US about launching coordinated sanctions packages in a final attempt to deter Russia from invading. It was not immediately clear how far the net would be drawn.

On Tuesday night, Foreign Office sources were indicating that the sanctions package that would be announced on Tuesday would be a first step, with further measures introduced if Russia invaded Ukraine.

The late night moves came as the Ukraine crisis intensified after Vladimir Putin said he would formally recognise Donetsk and Luhansk. Shortly after, the Russian president announced he was ordering troops to the region on what he described as a “peacekeeping mission”.

Boris slams Putin’s move  

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday slammed Russia’s recognition of separatist republics as “a flagrant violation of the sovereignty and integrity of the Ukraine”.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recognition of the independence of pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine is “a repudiation of the Minsk process and the Minsk agreements,” Johnson said, referring to a faltering Ukraine peace deal.

British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said Putin’s move “signals an end to the Minsk process and is a violation of the United Nations Charter.

“We will not allow Russia’s violation of its international commitments to go unpunished,” Truss tweeted.

Speaking at Downing Street, Johnson said that “the UK will continue to do everything we can to stand by the people of Ukraine with a very robust package of sanctions.”

“They will be triggered with the first toecap of a Russian incursion or Russian invasion. But plainly what has happened is extremely bad news.

“We will be urgently talking to our friends and allies around the world, all of whom are jointly signed up with us in this package of sanctions.”

“It is becoming clear that we’re going to need to start applying as much pressure as we possibly can because it is hard to see how this situation improves,” Johnson said, adding that he would call Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

Putin’s move could ignite a potentially devastating conflict with Kyiv’s Western-backed government.

The recognition will effectively end the already shaky peace plan in the separatist conflict in Ukraine’s east.

It paves the way for Russia to move in troops to protect hundreds of thousands of residents in the regions who have been granted Russian passports.

It overshadowed last-ditch diplomatic attempts to ease weeks of tensions over fears Russia has been planning an all-out invasion of its pro-Western neighbour.

Britain and EU to project united front in N Ireland protocol talks

The stand-off over the protocol has triggered speculation in Brussels and Whitehall that Johnson will soon deploy Article 16, the safeguard clause of the agreement, allowing him to suspend some parts of the deal…reports Asian Lite News

Britain and the EU will on Monday agree at a key “stocktaking meeting” to keep talking on reforms to post-Brexit trade rules with Northern Ireland, as both sides try to avoid splits during the Ukraine crisis.

Months of negotiations on the so-called Northern Ireland protocol have yielded little progress, prompting speculation that Boris Johnson, UK prime minister, could soon suspend parts of the accord to curry favour with Eurosceptic Tory MPs.

But Liz Truss, UK foreign secretary, will tell a meeting in Brussels that she wants to settle the row to allow both sides “to focus on building a stronger relationship and focus on external issues, not least the situation in eastern Europe and standing up to Russian aggression”.

The “joint committee” — a forum including the UK, the European Commission and EU member states set up to monitor the Brexit agreement — is meeting for the first time since June 2021.

The meeting will note some limited progress in talks to simplify post-Brexit trade between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but will acknowledge that big gaps remain. “It won’t be a breakthrough or breakdown,” said one EU diplomat.

The stand-off over the protocol has triggered speculation in Brussels and Whitehall that Johnson will soon deploy Article 16, the safeguard clause of the agreement, allowing him to suspend some parts of the deal.

Contingency planning has been stepped up in London for such an outcome, including likely trade retaliation by the EU. The US has also warned of trade repercussions if Article 16 is activated, although the UK insists Washington is not linking discussions on steel tariffs to Northern Ireland trading rules.

But Johnson is under pressure from the pro-Brexit European Research Group of Tory MPs to suspend the protocol, which was agreed in order to avoid the return of a north-south trade border on the island of Ireland and left Northern Ireland in the EU single market for goods.

Iain Duncan Smith, former Tory leader, tweeted on Sunday: “Time to call time on the Northern Ireland Protocol. Two years after we formally left the EU, the Protocol still gives Brussels a hold over wider UK policymaking. It’s divisive, restrictive and is causing real harm to the local economy.”

EU diplomats fear that Johnson may cede to that pressure, particularly if the Metropolitan Police fine him for breaching Covid rules in the so-called “partygate” affair, putting his leadership under renewed scrutiny.

“It wouldn’t surprise us. Johnson will do anything to stay in power,” said one diplomat.

An alternative UK strategy could be to request further delays to instigating full checks on goods from July while continuing talks. The EU would have to decide to refuse or restart legal proceedings for the UK’s failure to implement the protocol.

British government officials admit that there has been “increasing chatter” about Article 16 and that Northern Ireland’s pro-UK Democratic Unionist Party, which opposes the protocol, has been urging the ERG to push Johnson to put it into abeyance.

One Tory official said there was “no imminent move” towards using Article 16. The official added: “Nobody is expecting all that much from Monday’s meeting but that obviously doesn’t necessarily mean Article 16 is inevitable.”

The only concrete achievement after months of UK-EU talks has been to ensure free circulation of medicines from Great Britain to Northern Ireland after Brussels agreed to change its rules to allow UK regulators to approve them.

The two moved some way to converge their positions on customs formalities, but large gaps remain on the sensitive issue of checks on food, animals and plants.

Mauritius challenges Britain’s ownership of Chagos islands

The message was played on a speaker to the Chagossians, Mauritian officials and media assembled on the beach…reports Asian Lite News

Britain’s ownership of the Chagos archipelago is officially being challenged. This happened after the Mauritian ambassador to the UN, Jagdish Koonjul, in a ceremony on Monday, raised his country’s flag. The Mauritian officials also sang their country’s national anthem.

In a report by The Guardian, the ambassador said, “We are performing the symbolic act of raising the flag as the British have done so many times to establish colonies. We, however, are reclaiming what has always been our own.”

Mauritian prime minister, Pravind Jugnauth, in a pre-recorded message said, “This is the first time Mauritius has led an expedition to this part of its territory. I feel sad that I have not been able to be part of this historic visit. I’m delighted that our Chagossian brothers and sisters are able to travel to their birthplace without any foreign [ie British] escort.”

The message was played on a speaker to the Chagossians, Mauritian officials and media assembled on the beach.

When asked what will happen if UK officials later removed the Mauritian flag, Jugnauth told the Guardian, “I don’t know what they are going to do. If they remove the flag, this will amount to a provocation on their part. The UK is not abiding by international law judgments.”

Several British Indian ocean territory signs were also removed from the island. A metal plaque close to the flagpole read, “Visit of the Mauritius delegation to Peros Banhos archipelago, Republic of Mauritius, in the context of the scientific survey of Blenheim Reef.”

Britain sealed a deal in 1966 allowing the U.S. to use Diego Garcia for defense purposes. The United States maintains a base there for aircraft and ships and has backed Britain in the legal dispute with Mauritius.

Britain evicted about 2,000 people from the Chagos archipelago in the 1960s and 1970s so the U.S. military could build its base. Many resettled in Britain and have fought in courts there to return to the islands.

Jugnauth in 2019 told the U.N. General Assembly their forcible eviction “remains a very dark episode of human history akin to a crime against humanity.”

Jugnauth said the vessel commissioned by Mauritius, Bleu de Nîmes, is to sail Tuesday from Seychelles to the Chagos archipelago, about 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of Maldives in the Indian Ocean.

Govts urge citizens to leave Ukraine amid fears of invasion

Canada is closing its embassy in Kyiv temporarily, moving diplomatic operations to Lviv, as is Australia…reports Asian Lite News

Fearing an invasion of Ukraine by Russia, many countries are urging their citizens there to leave and are cutting back their diplomatic staff.

Among the countries that have called on their nationals to leave Ukraine are the United States, Germany, Italy, Britain, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Canada, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Australia, Japan, Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

France advised against travel to border areas of northern and eastern Ukraine, but has not told its citizens to leave the country.

Romania, which borders Ukraine, has strongly recommended its nationals avoid travel to the country and to “re-evaluate the need to stay” if already there.

Diplomatic presence cut back

Moscow has recalled some of its diplomatic staff, saying it fears “provocations”.

The United States ordered the departure of most of its diplomatic staff in Kyiv, saying a Russian offensive could begin “any day now”. Washington will maintain a consular presence in the western city of Lviv.

Canada is closing its embassy in Kyiv temporarily, moving diplomatic operations to Lviv, as is Australia.

European Union bodies recommended non-essential diplomatic personnel in Kyiv leave the country and telecommute from abroad.

Romania has withdrawn non-essential personnel from its embassy in Kyiv, and Israel has evacuated the families of embassy diplomats and staff.

The Dutch airline KLM announced Saturday that it was suspending its flights to Ukraine until further notice.

But the Ukrainian infrastructure ministry said Sunday the country would leave its airspace open despite the possibility of a Russian invasion.

Anti-Jewish hate incidents hit new record high in Britain

This is the highest annual tally of antisemitic incidents, a surge from the previous 2019 peak…reports Asian Lite News

The recent figures by the Community Security Trust (CST) have revealed that anti-Jewish incidents have hit a record high in the UK. The trust is responsible for providing security for the Jewish community in the UK and it also monitors anti-Semitism.

“These record levels of anti-Jewish racism, reported by our Jewish community to CST and police, show how difficult last year was for Jews across Britain,” said Mark Gardner, the chief executive of CST.

As per the data, there have been 2,255 such incidents last year. Also, there has been an increase in incidents where people have been seen shouting abuse from passing cars.

A total of 173 violent assaults have also been reported.

This is the highest annual tally of antisemitic incidents, a surge from the previous 2019 peak.

“This is the first time CST has ever recorded over 2,000 incidents in a single year and is 24 per cent higher than the previous record annual total of 1,813 incidents in 2019. The UK has seen record annual totals for antisemitic incidents in five of the past six years. CST has recorded antisemitic incidents since 1984,” the report read.

The report notes that an increase in such incidents was seen after violence in Israel and Gaza.

Priti Patel described the figures as “shocking.”

The government’s independent adviser on antisemitism, the peer John Mann, said it was time to “reconsider our efforts to tackle antisemitism”.

Out of all such incidents, 502 incidents were where offenders used “far-right or Nazi-related discourse” states the report.

Also, there have been 90 instances of ‘Holocaust celebration.’ In this, the perpetrators celebrated the Nazi genocide of the Jewish people. There were also explicit calls for the destruction of the state of Israel, or any idea of a Jewish nation.

Britain, South Korea eye bigger deal following bumper year of trade

South Korea, a global leader in electronics and more recently cultural exports like K-pop and Squid Game, counts cars, whisky and crude oil amongst its top goods imports from the UK…reports Asian Lite News

International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan yesterday hosted the inaugural UK-South Korea FTA Committee in London and meet her Korean counterpart, Yeo Han-koo, to discuss increased trade and collaboration in key areas such as digital, the environment and supporting small business. Both sides will aim to start talks on an enhanced trade deal later this year.

Trade between the UK and South Korea totalled £13.3 billion in the year to September 2021 – up 11 percent on 2020. In particular, UK exports to South Korea have seen strong growth, increasing by 12 per cent in the same year.

Following the global chip shortage and other supply chain issues caused by the pandemic, they also signed an agreement to strengthen supply chain resilience. As one of the UK’s biggest trading partner for critical goods, the agreement will help ensure the continued smooth flow of key supplies between our two countries.

After the meeting, Trevelyan will travel to Redhill to visit Ceres Power, the green energy pioneer that signed a £43 million partnership with South Korean firm Doosan.

International Trade Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan said, “This is our Indo-Pacific tilt in action – strengthening ties with one of the largest economies in the world. From offshore wind to hydrogen, 2021 saw many examples of the growing collaboration between our two nations – particularly on clean growth. I’m excited to build on our existing trade agreement, going even further in areas like technology and services.”

South Korea, a global leader in electronics and more recently cultural exports like K-pop and Squid Game, counts cars, whisky and crude oil amongst its top goods imports from the UK.

As a top ten economy and industrial powerhouse, South Korea offers UK businesses fantastic export and investment opportunities. The country also forms part of the UK’s strategic tilt to trade more with the Indo-Pacific region.

In the year since the UK-Korea Continuity FTA came into force, the Department for International Trade (DIT) has supported a range of UK firms, such as Ceres Power and Oxford Instruments, to secure export wins in South Korea.

Caroline Hargrove, Chief Technical Officer, Ceres Power, said, “We are pleased to host the Secretary of State at our Redhill fuel cell manufacturing site. From here, we transfer technology under licence to global partners to embed in next generation clean energy applications, helping to address climate change and achieve net zero. Ceres is proud to be a UK high growth technology success story, collaborating with global partners such as Doosan in South Korea, to deliver clean energy technology at scale and pace.”

Goods exporters are also profiting from a growing market for high quality UK-made products. From iconic brands like Whittards, Denby Pottery and Brompton Bikes to more technical goods like Survitec’s medical equipment and life jackets, South Korean consumers are increasingly buying British.

The UK has become a top destination for South Korean green investment. DIT recently signed an agreement with the Korean Investment Corporation (KIC) aimed at increasing Korean investment into green and sustainable projects in the UK.

South Korean firm SeAH is also investing £260 million to boost the UK’s offshore wind capacity in the North East, which will create hundreds of new jobs and help the UK build back greener.

Britain’s cutting-edge space defence backed by £1.4 billion

This significant investment will help to ensure the UK remains at the forefront of space innovation and one step ahead of our competitors.”…reports Asian Lite News

Following publication of the National Space Strategy in September last year, the Defence Space Strategy (DSS) outlines how Defence will protect the UK’s national interests in space in an era of ever-growing threats, stimulating growth across the sector and supporting highly skilled jobs across the UK.

As part of the new £1.4 billion investment, over the next ten years £968 million will be committed to deliver a multi-satellite system to support greater global surveillance and intelligence for military operations – known as the ISTARI Programme. A further £61 million will explore cutting-edge laser communications technology to deliver data from space to Earth at a speed equivalent to superfast broadband.

This substantial investment in space defence is on top of the existing £5 billion already upgrading the UK’s Skynet satellite communications capability – providing strategic communication services to the UK Armed Forces and allies.

Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said, “It’s crucial we continue to push the frontiers of our defence space ambitions, enhancing our military resilience and strengthening our nation’s security. This significant investment will help to ensure the UK remains at the forefront of space innovation and one step ahead of our competitors.”

Through close international collaboration with our allies and NATO, the DSS outlines how the UK will protect our space interests, build stability, increase resilience and prevent conflicts from extending into space. In addition to projects funded by £1.4 billion, a series of supporting programmes funded through existing investment will launch as part of the DSS to provide cutting-edge technologies for intelligence, surveillance, situational awareness, and Command and Control. These include:

Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston said, “With this strategy, the Ministry of Defence will protect and promote the United Kingdom’s interests in space, and take a leading role in the coalition of like-minded nations and organisations who have come together to ensure space is there for the benefit of all.”

In a separate development, Oxford Space Systems has today announced an investment round of £4 million which, subject to final completion, will accelerate the build of their innovative Wrapped Rib Antenna. Working in collaboration with the Ministry of Defence and backed by UK venture capital investors and the National Security Strategic Investment Fund, the project will create up to 50 new jobs. The technology will enable high-resolution imaging from small satellite earth observation missions, irrespective of weather conditions or daylight.

The UK has been operating in space continuously since 1988 and boasts a world-leading sovereign satellite communications capability. UK Space Command, established in July 2021, will lead our Defence space approach, harnessing the energy and adaptability of the country’s space sector, while driving integration, innovation and conducting day-to-day space operations, all under a single command.

The DSS reinforces objectives outlined in the 2021 Integrated Review: to build resilience, shape the international order of the future; sustain strategic advantage through science and technology; and strengthen security and defence at home and overseas.

Essar’s JV to set up Britain’s largest hydrogen hub

“The UK’s first low carbon hydrogen facility at Essar Stanlow will sit at the heart of the ‘HyNet’ low carbon cluster, to produce a total of 1GW per year of hydrogen, across two units, from 2026.”…reports Asian Lite News

Conglomerate Essar and Progressive Energy have formed a new new joint venture, Vertex Hydrogen, to build the UK’s largest hydrogen hub at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.

Led by Essar as the majority shareholder, Vertex Hydrogen has been formed to provide the catalyst for development of a hydrogen economy across northwest England and north Wales.

“A total investment of approximately 1 billion pounds will be committed to deliver the hydrogen production hub,” Essar said in a statement.

Besides, the company said that the initiative is a core part of a wider strategy by Essar globally to focus on investing in energy transition through the transformation of existing portfolio companies, and investments in new ventures.

“The UK’s first low carbon hydrogen facility at Essar Stanlow will sit at the heart of the ‘HyNet’ low carbon cluster, to produce a total of 1GW per year of hydrogen, across two units, from 2026.”

“This is equivalent to the domestic heating energy used by a major British city region, such as Liverpool.”

As per the statement, waste fuel gases from Essar Stanlow, and natural gas, will be converted by Vertex Hydrogen into hydrogen, with carbon dioxide safely captured and stored by ‘HyNet’ partner ‘Eni SpA’, underground offshore in Liverpool Bay.

“The hydrogen production hub will provide low carbon energy to replace fossil fuels in industry across the ‘HyNet’ region, as well as heating homes, and fuelling buses, trains and trucks.

“The hydrogen produced will, in the first instance, be utilised by Essar to reduce its carbon footprint at the Stanlow Manufacturing Complex.”

In addition, Vertex will provide low carbon hydrogen to a wide range of businesses, including companies from the chemicals, ceramics, paper, glass and flexible power generation sectors, such as Tata Chemicals Europe, Encirc, InterGen, Solvay, Ingevity, Novelis, Glass Futures and Saica Paper “all having expressed interest already”.

Essar Chairman Prashant Ruia said: “Essar is massively committed to investing in energy transition and is building a portfolio of companies in this space. Vertex Hydrogen is a central component of that vision, which will be instrumental in helping create a hydrogen future for northwest England and northeast Wales.”
