Apple reports 4% fall in quarterly sales as it suffers downturn in China
Sales slump: Apple's revenues for the three months to the end of March fell to £72.4bnTechnology giant Apple last night reported a 4 per cent fall in quarterly sales as it suffered a downturn in China. The iPhone maker’s revenues for the three months to the end of March fell to £72.4billion but were better than analysts had feared. And chief executive Tim Cook said he expected a return to sales growth in the current quarter as it invests in AI features to be unveiled in the coming months. Shares in the California-based company have fallen by 10 per cent so far this year on fears of weak sales in China where it is facing tough competition from rival Huawei. Last night’s figures showed sales in the country fell 8.1 per cent to £13.1billion – but that was better than the £12.4billion predicted by analysts.

UK polls close in local elections with Rishi Sunak braced for Tory losses
British prime minister Rishi Sunak is braced for a difficult set of election results which could increase pressure on his leadership of the UK Conservative Party and the country after polls closed on Thursday night.

UK-Ireland migration row deepens as Tories signal offer to allow Ireland join Rwanda scheme
The surge in entries of asylum-seekers from the UK is being linked to London’s controversial plans to send migrants to land-locked Rwanda in central Africa. No such offer has been made, and the Tories know it would be rejected outright anyway. But talking tough on migration is viewed as a last refuge for the Tories in their desperation to salvage some losses. Ms McEntee told a cabinet sub-committee yesterday that Nigerian asylum-seekers in Ireland now face being sent back to Nigeria due to the continuing row with the UK. Ms McEntee told the committee that Nigerian asylum-seekers whose applications are rejected under the fast-track system may soon be returned to their country of origin.

The UK sees a rise in foreign direct investment - the only country out of Europe's top three economies to do so
The UK was the only one of Europe's top three economies to record a rise in foreign direct investment last year - in an apparent vote of confidence in Brexit Britain. Hywell Ball, EY's UK chair, said the 'strong performance' for foreign direct investment (FDI) last year was 'driven by a resurgence in tech investment and impressive annual growth in sectors such as business services'. And it comes after recent business survey data showing UK growth outpacing the US and the eurozone. Britain's leading position in this industry meant it attracted more than a quarter of all tech FDI in Europe in 2023. India was the second largest foreign direct investor in Britain followed by Germany in third.

Ireland’s top university fines student union over protests
Regarded as Ireland’s most prestigious university, Trinity College Dublin fined its undergraduate student union 214,285 euro after a series of demonstrations about fees and rent as well as pro-Palestinian solidarity protests. Speaking to the PA news agency, the president of the students’ union accused senior management at the university of “an ill-fated attempt” to threaten and suppress its protest.

Nigerian asylum-seekers face being deported back home due to migrant row with UK, Helen McEntee tells Cabinet
Ms McEntee’s comments follow a diplomatic row over comments she made about at least 80pc of asylum-seekers arriving in Ireland from the UK across the Border. The Minister told the meeting the fast processing times for safe countries has reduced the numbers of people coming to Ireland from those countries by 50pc. Minister McEntee said Georgia was added to the safe countries list when it had the highest number of applicants.

The expedited process, which mostly deals with applicants from safe countries, means cases are decided on within three months and asylum-seekers are allowed stay or given deportation orders.

Looking to fix your savings? A two-year deal is my tip, says SYLVIA MORRIS
Two-year fixed bonds are the new star of the show, as inflation falls and interest rates are due to drop towards the end of the year. If you go for the top one-year bond, you can earn slightly more – 5.18 per cent from SmartSave. And with interest rates expected to fall over the year, it’s doubtful you will find this high a rate. The Bank of England has been forced to pump up interest rates in a bid to contain inflation. Savings rates will follow.The top two-year bond rates I named above are only on offer for those willing to buy online.
