Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
Cinema chain could file for bankruptcy in the US
Cineworld yesterday confirmed it is considering filing for bankruptcy in the US, as the cinema chain continues to struggle with more than £4billion worth of debt.
But the company, which also owns the Picturehouse chain in the UK, insisted to the BBC its cinemas remain open for business and that there would be "no significant impact" on jobs.
The firm - which has Cineworld sites in Aberdeen at Union Square and Queens Links - employs more than 28,000 people globally.
Like other cinema chains, Cineworld was hit hard by the pandemic.
Many theatres were forced to close for extended periods during the lockdowns, or had to operate at a reduced capacity due to social-distancing rules.
Cinema chains had hoped blockbusters such as the latest Bond film, Top Gun: Maverick and Thor: Love And Thunder would draw audiences back in after lockdown restrictions eased.
Top Gun: Maverick, starring Tom Cruise, has taken £1.5billion at the global box office, making it one of the top 10 highest grossing films of all time.
But last week Cineworld warned there had still not been enough major releases to attract cinema audiences and said this was hitting admissions.
Offshore workers to be balloted
The Unite union will ballot more than 300 drilling workers and contractors over strike action, after members rejected a 5% pay deal.
These workers are covered by the United Kingdom Drilling Contractors Association (UKDCA).
Energy Voice says the ballot will close on September 27.
UKDCA chairperson Alexis Hay said: "Union members' rejection of the (association's) 5% wage increase is disappointing.
Rebellion by Apple employees
Apple staff are rebelling against an order to return to the office by arguing they can do "exceptional work" remotely.
The Telegraph says workers from the Apple Together collective will hand a petition to managers demanding that the world's biggest company continues its flexible working policy.
Apple Together says there are "many compelling reasons" for staff to work remotely, including that doing so makes them "happier and more productive".
A spokesman for the staff association said that the petition would not include anyone's names "in light of retail union-busting and recent reports of allegations of retaliation from HR".
Chief executive Tim Cook ordered staff located near Apple's California HQ to return to the office for three days per week starting in September.
In a message to employees, he said: "Teams participating in the pilot will come to the office three days each week with Tuesday and Thursday as set days across the company, but now the third day you come in will be decided by your teams."
Bolt to trademark victory celebration
Athletics icon Usain Bolt has moved to trademark a logo showcasing his signature victory celebration pose.
The retired Jamaican sprinter has submitted an application in the US.
He is known globally for the move - in which he leans back and gestures to the sky - as he routinely struck the pose after winning gold medals and setting world records.
Mr Bolt still holds the world records for the 100m and 200m, making him the fastest man in history.
According to the United States Patent and Trademark Office, Mr Bolt filed his application for the trademark on August 17.
It depicts "the silhouette of a man in a distinctive pose, with one arm bent and pointing to the head, and the other arm raised and pointing upward".
He intends to use the image on items including clothing, jewellery and shoes, as well as restaurants and sports bars, the BBC says the filing shows.
Latest twist in Twitter battle
Elon Musk has launched legal action to summon Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey to appear in court as part of his legal battle with the tech company.
Mr Musk is seeking to end his £37billion deal for Twitter after alleging the firm failed to provide enough information on fake account numbers.
But the social-media site is suing Mr Musk to try to force him to buy it.
The BBC says the case will be heard in Delaware, US, in October unless both parties decide to settle out of court beforehand.
Twitter hopes that a judge will order Mr Musk - who is the world's richest man - to complete the takeover at the agreed price of £46 per share.
But, as part of the trial preparations, lawyers for Mr Musk have called on his friend, the former boss of Twitter Mr Dorsey, in the hope that he will help support the Tesla boss's argument that the social-media company hasn't been honest about the volume of fake accounts on its platform.
Barristers south of the border to go on strike
Barristers have voted to go on an indefinite, uninterrupted strike in England and Wales from next month.
The walkout by members of the Criminal Bar Association (CBA) will begin on September 5.
Until now, members have been striking on alternate weeks in a dispute with the UK Government over pay, working conditions and legal-aid funding.
The BBC says the strikes are expected to delay thousands of cases, leaving victims and the accused waiting longer for justice.
The CBA is asking for a 25% rise in pay for legal-aid work representing defendants who could not otherwise afford lawyers.
Members have rejected the government's 15% pay offer, saying it would not kick in immediately or apply to existing cases.
