The animal is synonymous with the 'duh duh, duh duh' sound, but in actual reality, British beachgoers have nothing to worry about. Been out cage diving for great white sharks today in south Australia numbers aren’t quite as reliable as past years but we did see a huge bronze whaler. However, marine biologist Gregory Skomal disagrees with Ocearch’s theory, sharing that there have been zero great white shark spottings around Cornwall. Great white sharks are most commonly found around the coastlines of California, Hawaii, and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as in Australia and South Africa. Experts believe the species, previously rarely seen in British waters, are making UK shores their full-time home.

Write to letters@sunday-times.co.ukI disagree with the prime minister’s view that “globalisation has failed” (news, Apr 6). While the US has decided to look inwards, I believe the present panic will be resolved as countries begin to work together without the US. In my opinion Donald Trump’s main target is China but, if you target one country, goods are redirected via other nations to bypass tariffs. Chinese companies have been building factories in countries such as Vietnam to try to avoid US tariffs. While I don’t support Trump’s methods, I believe he has a bigger plan and these tariffs, like

The Royal Navy could be deployed to deliver an essential fuel shipment to Scunthorpe’s blast furnaces after MPs voted to seize control of British Steel from Chinese owners. While the new law stopped short of nationalisation, Mr Reynolds said full state ownership 'remains on the table' and may be the 'likely option' for British Steel. He also accused the plant's owner of trying to shut down Britain's steel industry, saying Jingye, which bought British Steel in 2020, has 'irrevocably and unilaterally closed down primary steel making'. The Steel Industry (Special Measures) Act gives the Government the power to instruct steel companies in England to keep the plant open, with criminal penalties for executives if they fail to comply. But opposition MPs accused ministers of a 'botched nationalisation', with Conservative MP Alex Burghart saying the Government had made a 'total pig's breakfast' of saving British Steel.

Min Woo Lee of Australia reacts on the fourth tee during the third round of the 2025 MastersAustralian golfer Min Woo Lee was handed a one-stroke penalty by Masters officials during the third round, capping off a challenging day for the PGA Tour star. The event boasts a substantial prize purse, with Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson set to earn significant amounts despite missing the cut. After assessing the situation, officials determined that Lee's actions had indeed caused the ball to move, resulting in a one-stroke penalty and ultimately leading to a bogey six on the hole. 13, Min Woo Lee asked for assistance after his ball moved on the fairway. "It was determined his actions near the ball did cause it to move and one penalty stroke was added to his score under Rule 9.4b."

Liberal Democrat MP Wera Hobhouse told The Times newspaper she had arrived at Hong Kong airport on Thursday, where she was detained by security, questioned and then put on a flight back to the UK. Ms Hobhouse, a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (Ipac) that criticises Beijing’s handling of human rights, said she had been given no explanation for being refused entry to Hong Kong. Labour MP and Foreign Affairs Committee member Phil Brickell said: “That a British MP was barred from entry without any justification is unacceptable. Ms Hobhouse said: “I am the first MP to be refused entry on arrival to Hong Kong since 1997. “I hope the Foreign Secretary will recognise that this is an insult to all parliamentarians and seek answers from the Chinese ambassador.”

It’s time for the government to take back control — but this time to do it properly and mean it. Rather than wasting time discussing the rights and wrongs of reciprocal tariffs, we should focus unashamedly on the things that are within our control and that we can influence. We should no longer rely on the goodwill of an increasingly volatile US administration, or our traditional allies from Europe. In the mould of Dubai and Singapore, it’s time for us to set our own path and strike out as the open, trading superpower we once were. The UK has some of the brightest and best minds in the world — hungry to take risks, test existing standards and transform markets.

The UK government said it was taking control of Chinese-owned British Steel on Saturday after rushing an emergency law through parliament to avert the shutdown of the country's last factory that can make steel from scratch. The Times newspaper said British Steel workers had seen off a "delegation of Chinese executives" trying to enter critical parts of the works. Jingye bought British Steel in 2020 and says it has invested more than £1.2 billion ($1.5 billion) to maintain operations but is losing around £700,000 a day. British Steel has said US President Donald Trump's recent 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.

“The most important thing is we’ve got control of the site, we can make the decisions about what happens, and that means that those blast furnaces will stay on,” he said. The Times newspaper said British Steel workers had seen off a “delegation of Chinese executives” trying to enter critical parts of the works.Police said officers attended the scene “following a suspected breach of the peace,” but no arrests were made. “They also refused a condition to keep the blast furnaces maintained.”Saturday’s legislation allowed for criminal sanctions and gave the government powers to take over assets if executives fail to comply with instructions to keep blast furnaces open. However, fierce competition from cheaper Asian steel has heaped pressure on Europe’s beleaguered industry in recent years. 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.
