Podcasts about British Steel

A Chinese company stepped in to save British Steel when few others would. Six years later, the UK government has stripped it of control. Was this a commercial decision, or another sign that geopolitics is rewriting the rules of global investment? What comes next? Who ultimately stands to pay the biggest price? And what lessons does this case hold for Chinese companies investing overseas? More importantly, could it reshape how China and the rest of the world view cross-border investment amid rising geopolitical tensions? Host Tu Yun joins John Gong, Professor of Economics, University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, Mike Bastin, a China observer and senior lecturer at the University of Southampton, and Bai Xianyue, Partner, Grandall Law Firm Tianjin Office for an in-depth discussion of the British Steel nationalization saga.

The Nationalisation of British Steel

Sean Curran reports as a Business Minister tells MPs nationalising British Steel will secure steel-making in the UK, but opponents accuse the government of going back to the 1970s. Elsewhere, a Foreign Office Minister condemns Argentina players for waving a banner at the World Cup in support of their claim to the Falkland Islands and peers debate the merits of Scottish poets.

It's coming home.... British Steel will once again be, well, British after it was renationalised to “protect the future of steel production in the UK” - and that could be just the start.Prime minister-in-waiting Andy Burnham has described water, energy, transport and housing as the “essentials of life” that should be run principally in the public, rather than private, interest.But can nationalisation solve the fundamental issues privatisation was meant to solve? And if Burnham does deliver more services back into public ownership, what would be the trade-offs and ultimately the cost?Niall Paterson is joined by Sky's business correspondent Paul Kelso.Have you got a question for Niall? Email us: why@sky.uk

With just one day until Andy Burnham is crowned Labour leader, many are still scratching their heads – what will a Burnham government actually look like?The incoming PM says he's in no rush and will take his time over cabinet appointments – having already signalled a budget is likely in October.Sam Coates and Anne McElvoy assess who could land the biggest jobs – especially at the Treasury, where Shabana Mahmood is emerging as the favourite for No11.The duo also wonder if the announcement that British Steel is being renationalised will set Burnham up for a diplomatic row with the Chinese government early in his premiership.Plus, as Starmer clocks up the “Keir miles” one last time on a farewell trip to Kyiv, will his bond with Zelenskyy endure after he leaves office?

La Comisión Europea busca impulsar al máximo el consumo de energía eléctrica con un objetivo último: rebajar las emisiones y avanzar hacia una economía descarbonizada. Así, en su nuevo Plan de Acción de Electrificación, Bruselas planteará a los 27 que dupliquen para 2040 la tasa de electrificación desde el 23% actual. El FMI mete la tijera: rebaja su previsión de crecimiento para la eurozona al 0,9% este año y al 1,2% en 2027, lo que representa cinco y dos décimas, respectivamente, por debajo de las estimaciones previas al conflicto. El gobierno británico anuncia la nacionalización de British Steel para proteger la producción de acero en el Reino Unido, tras no llegar a un acuerdo con la anterior propietaria, la china Jingye, que garantizara la viabilidad de la empresa y el PIB británico creció un 0,1% en mayo, en línea con las previsiones tras la contracción del 0,1% de abril. Entrevistaremos a Fernando de Agueda, CEO de Scalian Spain, para hablar del efecto dominó de la uerra con Irán en la cadena de suministro: sobrecostes, daño reputacional y rotura de stock.

Keir Starmer's Britain is facing yet another law-and-order meltdown — and Julia Hartley-Brewer is not letting ministers off the hook.Rochdale grooming gang ringleader Shabbir Ahmed, known sickeningly as “Daddy”, is due to be released from prison despite being convicted of 30 rape and sexual offences against girls, including a child as young as 12. Stripped of British citizenship but unable to be deported to Pakistan thanks to an immigration loophole, his victims say they were promised justice — and betrayed again.Former military intelligence officer Philip Ingram joins Julia to ask why Parliament can pass emergency laws for British Steel, but not to protect British girls.Also: a BBC investigation tracks down convicted people smuggler Twanna Jamal, once branded the “godfather” of the French migrant camps, allegedly living under a false name in Leicester, driving a BMW and running businesses — while immigration authorities appear powerless or unwilling to act.Julia and Philip also take aim at Shabana Mahmood's immigration crackdown, warning that its “disproportionate impact” loophole could leave foreign offenders free to remain in Britain.There's also fury over a growing £5 billion defence black hole, with questions over whether Starmer's promised military uplift exists at all — while Russian drones, spy ships and sanctioned tankers probe Britain's nuclear sites and NATO defences.Plus: claims from a former MI6 officer that Peter Mandelson was viewed by Russian intelligence as a “privileged contact”, and what that really means in the world of espionage.Then Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg joins Julia from College Green to argue that Britain must change primary legislation, override human rights obstacles and leave the ECHR if it wants to deport foreign criminals and protect the public.And finally: Starmer issues a formal apology to victims of forced adoption — but Rees-Mogg questions whether today's maternity scandals should be the Government's real priority.Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.Available on YouTube and streaming platforms, along with DAB+ radio and your smart speaker.

Host: Alex Cameron, Founder & CEO, Decarb ConnectGuests: Jon Stewart, CEO and Tom Brown, Head of Business Development and Commercial Strategy, Binding SolutionsThe steel industry accounts for roughly 8% of global emissions and has made some of the loudest net zero commitments in heavy industry. But talk to the mills privately and most will tell you they are not on track. The dominant solutions, hydrogen, carbon capture, EAF transition, are either years away, eye-wateringly expensive, or both. Meanwhile, there's a supply chain vulnerability that almost nobody is talking about publicly: pellets. Every major decarb pathway for steel needs them. Producing them at scale costs a billion dollars and most of Europe buys from a handful of suppliers with almost no leverage. Today we're talking to the team at BSL about whether the industry is solving the wrong problems first, and what a lower-cost, modular alternative on something as fundamental as pellets can do for price and targets.Find out why the gap between published net zero roadmaps and what steel mills actually believe is achievable this decade is wider than most people assume. Explore why agglomeration, the pellet-making step, may offer more near-term commercial leverage than hydrogen or CCS, despite attracting a fraction of the policy attention and capital. Learn how a billion-dollar plant cost becomes a structural barrier that shapes who controls the global pellet supply chain, and why European mills are more exposed than they publicly acknowledge. Hear how a technology that works across both blast furnace and DRI pathways makes its case in an industry where most capital decisions are implicitly picking a winner. Find out about Binding Solutions strategic and financial investors as well as their path forward- and where value sits in deep-tech industrial business like this one. Links: ·       Follow Alex Cameron on LinkedIn and find how to get involved with the membership and work of Decarb Connect·       Connect with Jon Stewart, CEO·       Learn more about Tom Brown, Head of Commercial Strategy·       Check out a video about the team ‘s work with British Steel·       Read a paper by one of BSL's scientists and a British Steel expert  ·        Join Alex and a network of hardtech investors and series B+ tech disruptors at Decarb TechInvest in Boston (September 2025) Want to learn more about Decarb Connect?We provide insights and introductions that derisk decision-making and support industrial leaders in deploying decarbonization and low carbon product strategy.

Keir Starmer has given what was billed as a make-or-break having spent the weekend under fire from his own party. He tried to strike a more urgent tone, promising bigger arguments, closer ties with Europe (which is basically already happening) and action on British Steel (subject to consultation). But with Labour still haemorrhaging votes on all sides, is this enough to steady his leadership – or has the party already begun to look beyond him?Tim Shipman and James Heale discuss Starmer's speech, the Labour figures waiting in the wings – from Wes Streeting and Angela Rayner to Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband – and what Reform, the Tory party, the Lib Dems, the SNP and the Green party do next after a dramatic set of local elections.Produced by Megan McElroy.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would introduce legislation this week to give the government powers to take full ownership of British Steel in Scunthorpe, the last plant in the UK that can make steel from scratch. Last year, the government seized control of the steelworks from its Chinese owner to stop the potential closure of the blast furnaces.

In this episode of the Mainframe Connect podcast's *I Am a Mainframer* series, **Marcus Davage**, Lead Product Developer at BMC Software and an OMP ambassador, shares how a childhood fascination with early home computers in South Wales grew into a decades-long career centred on Db2 across multiple platforms. From his first encounter with a 3270 terminal during a year-out placement at British Steel in 1988, through roles at Lloyds and into his current work in R&D at BMC, Marcus tells the story of how “tinkering” and curiosity became the backbone of his professional journey.Marcus explains how Db2 followed him everywhere—from mainframe to OS/2, Windows, Linux and AS/400—and how building deep domain expertise in one core technology opened doors across organisations and roles. He talks about being “paid to tinker” with AI and AI agents for mainframe customers today, the impact of in-transaction AI on zSystems, and why he believes the next frontier lies at the intersection of mainframe, AI, and quantum-safe computing.He also discusses his work as an Open Mainframe Project Ambassador, his Db2 Table Talk podcast for IDUG, and his outreach to universities in Wales to show students that the mainframe is a modern enterprise platform—not “your daddy's S/360.” Along the way, Marcus shares career advice for younger professionals: stay curious, keep tinkering, and don't be afraid to build a long-term career around a technology you love.#mainframe #IamaMainframer #Db2 #opensource #BMCSoftware #OpenMainframeProject #LinuxFoundation #StevenDickens #MainframeConnect #AI #quantum #careers

This episode of Big Blend Radio's "Beyond the Stage" music series features members of Unleashed, a powerhouse tribute band dedicated to the legendary sound and spirit of Judas Priest. Hailing from Charlotte, North Carolina, Unleashed delivers an electrifying live experience that captures the raw power, soaring vocals, and iconic twin-guitar attack that defined Judas Priest's late ‘70s and early ‘80s era — from Sad Wings of Destiny to Screaming for Vengeance and British Steel. In this episode of the Beyond the Stage music series, hosts Mr. & Mrs. Wild sit down with band members including Jace Weddington (vocals), Gil Bush and Robbie Norris (guitars), and Owen Teague (bass) — with Joe Costa (drums) holding down the rhythm section, even if he's missing from the conversation — to explore the band's journey, musical influences, and the challenges of performing some of heavy metal's most technically demanding songs. Recording was done on-location at Amos' Southend in Charlotte NC. They also discuss the passion behind tribute performance, the dynamics of playing as a band, favorite tracks, and what fans can expect from their upcoming shows across the East Coast. With razor-sharp musicianship and a high-energy stage presence, Unleashed keeps the spirit of classic metal alive for a new generation of fans. Hosted by Mr. & Mrs. Wild — owners of The Lion & The Rose Bed & Breakfast and cohosts of Big Blend Radio's "Adventures in Asheville" Podcast — this episode celebrates the enduring power of live music and tribute artistry.

Bff Bank in caduta libera a Piazza Affari dopo al notizia che Bankitalia ha nominato due commissari nell'istituto. I titoli, che in avvio non riuscivano a fare prezzo, sono arrivati a cedere oltre il 60%, in calo di oltre l 80% del proprio valore da inizio febbraio, passando da oltre 8 euro agli attuali 1,48. Dai massimi del 2024 invece la caduta è di quasi il 90%. La conference call dell amministratore delegato Giuseppe Sica ha consentito un parziale recupero, ma il calo resta comunque molto significativo.Nel fine settimana, la Vigilanza ha deciso di affiancare il consiglio di amministrazione con due commissari, Raffaele Lener e Francesco Fioretto, chiamati a supportare il board che mantiene pieni poteri nel percorso di riequilibrio. L intervento punta a rafforzare governance e sistema dei controlli, accelerando al contempo il processo di riallineamento contabile e la definizione delle criticità emerse. La situazione affonda le radici in una lunga fase di attenzione da parte della Vigilanza. Già nel 2024 un ispezione aveva evidenziato anomalie nelle politiche contabili, in particolare sulla classificazione dei crediti verso la pubblica amministrazione, cuore del business dell istituto. Da quelle risultanze è scaturita anche un indagine della Procura di Milano per l ipotesi di falso in bilancio. Dopo una fase in cui sembrava esserci stato un riassorbimento delle tensioni con la rimozione dei vincoli sulla cedola il gruppo è tornato sotto pressione a febbraio, quando ha rivisto al ribasso gli obiettivi, rafforzando le politiche di riduzione del rischio. Nello stesso periodo si è realizzato anche il cambio al vertice, con l uscita di scena di Massimiliano Belingheri e la nomina di Sica.Il commento di Alessandro Plateroti, Direttore editoriale UCapital.com.Flacks frena sull'ex-Ilva, serve aiuto pubblicoL'imprenditore inglese Flacks non ha soldi per comprare l'ex Ilva e non ha nessuna garanzia bancaria. Non solo: adesso chiede i soldi allo Stato.Quando Mr Flacks originario di Manchester, attivo a Miami negli Stati Uniti si è affacciato al capezzale dell'Ilva, più di un osservatore si è chiesto chi fosse, di quale track-record disponesse e quali strutture finanziarie e industriali lo sorreggessero. Flacks, nell'ordine, ha invocato l'ingresso dello Stato nel capitale, poi ha detto che avrebbero fatto tutto da soli lui e sua moglie, ha inondato i giornali locali di buoni propositi («non vengo a Taranto perché sarei accolto come i Beatles, penso di comprare la squadra di calcio»), quindi a fronte di un profilo aziendale che eufemisticamente si può definire poco chiaro e poco strutturato ha prospettato una campagna napoleonica addirittura europea, con tanto di interesse allargato a British Steel in Gran Bretagna e a Thyssen Krupp in Germania.L'intervento di Paolo Bricco, Il Sole 24 OreIn corso riunioni su Transizione 5.0, si punta a soluzioneIl governo punta a trovare una soluzione sugli incentivi di Transizione 5.0 in vista del tavolo con le imprese. In queste ore, si apprende da fonti di governo, sono in corso riunioni a livello tecnico tra gli uffici del Mef, del ministero delle Imprese e di Palazzo Chigi. Il tavolo è convocato per mercoledì mattina nella sede del Mimit. Il decreto fiscale approvato venerdì 27 marzo in cdm "introduce disposizioni molto penalizzanti per le imprese che hanno effettuato la prenotazione del credito d'imposta 5.0 tra il 7 e il 27 novembre 2025". ne è convinto il vicepresidente di Confindustria per le politiche industriali e il made in Italy, Marco Nocivelli, spiegando che il testo prevede un taglio del 65% del credito d'imposta richiesto. "Una simile decisione - che ricordiamo ha effetti retroattivi e lede il principio del legittimo affidamento - penalizza pesantemente le imprese che hanno completato ingenti investimenti nel 2025 e che si troveranno ad affrontare ulteriori problemi di liquidità in un momento già particolarmente complesso", sottolinea. "La misura inoltre esclude gli investimenti in fonti di energia rinnovabile, in particolare gli impianti fotovoltaici a più elevata efficienza iscritti nel registro dell'Enea, che le imprese sono state indotte ad acquistare". A novembre, ricorda Novicelli, "avevamo avuto rassicurazioni dai ministri Giorgetti, Foti e Urso sul fatto che le cosiddette imprese esodate del 5.0 con progetti congrui avrebbero avuto accesso all agevolazione". Il fatto "di non poter fare affidamento sulle norme e sulle dichiarazioni del Governo mina profondamente la fiducia delle imprese nei confronti delle istituzioni e delle misure di incentivo e scoraggia chi vorrebbe continuare a fare impresa in Italia. Apprendiamo infine, dalle dichiarazioni del Mimit di questa mattina (ndr. SABATO), che si sarebbero trovate altre risorse per l iperammortamento: la nostra risposta e': prima si paghi il debito con le imprese esodate del 5.0".Sono intervenuti a Focus Economia Gianni Trovati, Il Sole 24 Ore e Michelangelo Agrusti, Presidente Confindustria Alto Adriatico, Componente Consiglio Generale Nazionale

This explosive conversation explores the growing economic conflict between the U.S. and China, highlighting how Chinese state-subsidized goods are undercutting global industries and threatening national security. The hosts break down reports of Chinese factories shutting down, ships sitting idle, and the potential collapse of supply chains — all pointing to what they call a de facto economic embargo. They dig into the Chinese Communist Party's internal instability, recent cyberattacks admitted by China, and how America's dependence on rare earth minerals has put the nation at risk. With examples like the UK's emergency takeover of British Steel and China's influence in Greenland, the episode urges Congress to act on energy and mining legislation and warns that only by holding strong can the U.S. escape China's economic chokehold.

Is Trump ruling America by fear? Special guest and host of the Fast Politics podcast, Molly Jong-Fast, joins the panel. Plus, is there a future in British Steel?

Panic has subsided over the British Steel crisis as Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, while visiting the site in Scunthorpe, confirmed that the raw materials needed to keep the furnaces running have been secured. While questions remain over the long-term future of the site, the Government are quite confident in their handling of the crisis so far – something not unhelpful with just over two weeks to go from the local elections. Less helpful is the news that over in Birmingham workers have rejected a pay deal with the Labour-run city council; the bin strike will continue. Is there more the government could be doing to end the dispute? Political editor Katy Balls and former Political Secretary to Tony Blair John McTernan join Patrick Gibbons to discuss.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Today, we look at whether British Steel has enough fuel to keep its furnaces running, and we hear from an MP who was detained and refused entry to Hong Kong.Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds refused to confirm if the government can get sufficient supplies in time to keep blast furnaces at British Steel running, after it took control of the plant, owned by Chinese company Jingye.Joe Pike, political & investigations correspondent joins to look at what happened when officials from Jingye were blocked from arriving at the plant.Laura, Paddy and Joe are also joined by Lib Dem MP for Bath Wera Hobhouse, was was detained and then refused entry to Hong Kong this week.

Parliament was recalled from Easter recess for a rare Saturday sitting of Parliament yesterday, to debate the future of British Steel. Legislation was passed to allow the government to take control of the Chinese-owned company – Conservative MP David Davis called this 'nationalisation in all but name'. Though, with broad support across the House including from Reform leader Nigel Farage, the debate centred less around the cure and more around the cause.  Katy Balls and James Heale join Patrick Gibbons to discuss the debate, the political reaction and how much of a precedent this sets for Starmer.  Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

By 1980, Judas Priest were ready to take on all the world! Fresh off their classic live album Unleashed In The East, Priest were ready to conquer America and the world with a more pop sound. Priest hit the charts with songs like Living After Midnight and Breaking The Law and offered new anthems to the teenage set with United and Metal Gods. But they stayed true to their heavy metal roots with songs like Rapid Fire and Steeler. Rob Halford shows off his chops and range on songs like The Rage as Ian Hill offers up a fun and memorable bass line. While we don't see much of the dueling solos between KK Downing and Glenn Tipton as would come to be familiar with on most of their 80s and latter day albums, they each show off their individual styles here while doing what's best for the songs. And the addition of Dave Holland on the drums solidified the classic 80s Priest lineup that would help them conquer the US and the world. They also forayed into making videos with the help of Julien Temple, much to the delight of Beavis & Butthead. This album helped propel Judas Priest and heavy metal onto a bigger stage and laid the foundation for the band's success in the 1980s and beyond.
