Iran war brings massive price and profit gouging Global oil companies are raking in additional profits at the rate of $30 million per hour as the result of the price hikes induced by the war.

Giant corporations and banks are feeding on death, destruction and the impoverishment of the working class the world over. This makes it urgently necessary for workers and youth to draw the sharpest political conclusions.

Three bird flu cases confirmed days after housing rules lifted - FarmingUK Three bird flu cases have now been confirmed within days of housing rules being lifted, raising fresh concerns that the threat to UK poultry producers is far from over. The initial outbreak, identified on 11 April at a duck breeding unit near Market Rasen in Lincolnshire, has been followed by two further cases confirmed on 14 April — one in Cambridgeshire and another in Lincolnshire. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 was detected in commercial poultry near Great Shelford, South Cambridgeshire, while a third premises near Gainsborough, West Lindsey, Lincolnshire, also tested positive. The Lincolnshire case near Gainsborough is understood to involve breeding ducks, while the Cambridgeshire case affects pheasants, highlighting the spread of the virus across different commercial sectors. The cluster of cases — two in Lincolnshire and one in Cambridgeshire — has emerged just days after the Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) allowed birds in England and Wales to return outdoors. The timing is likely to alarm producers, particularly those with free-range flocks, many of whom had only just begun moving birds back outside. It also raises fresh questions within the sector about whether restrictions were eased too soon. Control measures have been introduced around all affected...
