London:A Dhaka court on Sunday issued an arrest warrant against ex-PM Sheikh Hasina 's niece and UK Labour MP Tulip Siddiq for allegedly acquiring a 7,200-square-foot plot during her deposed aunt’s tenure in office.Dhaka metropolitan senior special judge Md Zakir Hossain Galib issued the warrant based on charge sheets filed by Bangladesh’s Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), which sought to declare Siddiq (42), who resides in London, as a fugitive. The court also issued arrest warrants for 52 others, including Hasina, Siddiq's mother Rehana, her brother Radwan, and sister Azmina.The judge set April 27 as the deadline for the implementation of the arrest warrants or the appearance of the accused in court.ACC DG Md Akhtar Hossain said members of the Hasina family had secretly and illegally acquired six 10-katha plots on Road No 203 in Sector 27 of the diplomatic zone of Purbachal New Town on Dhaka outskirts, with help from senior Rajuk officials, Bangladeshi daily “The Business Standard” reported. Hasina and her family members allegedly took possession of the plots in 2022.“The arrest warrant would make Ms Siddiq, a sitting Labour MP, an absconding suspect wanted in a foreign criminal investigation. It would also pave the way for Bangladeshi authorities to seek her extradition,” The Daily Mail reported.There is currently no extradition treaty between the UK and Bangladesh.Siddiq resigned from her role as the UK’s anti-corruption minister in Jan after it emerged that she was under investigation by ACC.The court had also issued an arrest warrant against Hasina and her daughter Saima Wazed last Thursday in a separate probe involving other plots in Purbachal New City.A Conservative Party spokesperson commented, “She should immediately stand down as a Labour MP.”Siddiq’s lawyers issued a statement saying, “Ms Siddiq knows nothing about a hearing in Dhaka relating to her and has no knowledge of any arrest warrant that is said to have been issued. To be clear, there is no basis at all for any charges to be made against her, and there is absolutely no truth in any allegation that she received a plot of land in Dhaka through illegal means."

Britain is heading towards its worst year for wildfires on record, after 112 fires in 15 weeks burnt an area bigger than Liverpool. In the past few days a fire caused huge plumes of smoke at moorland near Marsden in West Yorkshire, and it took firefighters days to bring it under control. Woodland in Shropshire caught fire at the weekend, and wildlife-rich heathland in Dorset was devastated earlier this month. Satellite data shows that 95 sq miles have burnt this year, already making it the second worst year on record for the area burnt and the number of fires. Only 2019 was worse for area burnt and 2022 for the number of fires, according to figures from the European Forest Fire Information System.

Jordan Spieth hit a Masters official in the crotch with the grip of his clubJordan Spieth left a Masters official hunched over in pain after tagging him in the nether region with the grip of his golf club. Spieth has been flying under the radar for most of the week. And one unlucky customer bore the brunt of his playfulness by taking a tap in the crotch. Spieth wore the green jacket in 2015 and has finished inside the top five on five other occasions. But the fact that you're not supposed to talk about it is a bit frustrating because it is a difference-maker."

Universities are drafting in management consultants to help them cut jobs, sell land and merge amid fears some could be heading for collapse. The UK’s largest accounting firms and consultancies have seen a slowdown in other corporate contracts and are increasingly offering their services to help universities get their finances in order. EY has been hired to advise on financial sustainability for universities including Kent and Middlesex. Its “big four” rival PwC, the UK’s largest professional services firm, has been brought in to draw up cost-cutting initiatives at the University of Dundee, which proposed shedding more than 600 jobs last month after revealing a £35 million deficit.

Britain has watched President Trump’s tariffs with a mix of shock, fascination and queasy recognition. The country, after all, embarked on a similar experiment in economic isolationism when it voted to leave the European Union in 2016. The lessons of that experience are suddenly relevant again as Mr. Trump uses a similar playbook to erect walls around the United States. Critics once described Brexit as the greatest act of economic self-harm by a Western country in the post-World War II era. Britain, he said, now faces a hard choice between rebuilding trade ties with Europe or preserving them with Mr. Trump’s America.

PHOTO: AFPLONDON - The UK passed an emergency law on April 12 to stop the last British factory that can make steel from scratch shutting down, allowing the government to take control of the struggling Chinese-owned British Steel plant. The Times newspaper said British Steel workers had seen off a “delegation of Chinese executives” trying to enter critical parts of the works. The British Steel plant - the last UK factory that can make steel from scratch - produces steel crucial for UK industries, including construction and rail transport. British Steel has said US President Donald Trump’s tariffs on the sector were partly to blame for the Scunthorpe plant’s difficulties. British Steel has its roots as far back as the Industrial Revolution but took shape in 1967 when the Labour government nationalised the industry, which at the time employed nearly 270,000 people.
