Breaking news: Gas prices to fall by 30% as winter supply fears ease
Natural gas prices will slump 30%in the coming months as mild weather and a rush of supplies help to ease fears about a winter crisis, according to Goldman Sachs.
The Wall Street bank told The Telegraph that it expects benchmark European prices to fall to €85 per megawatt-hour in the first quarter of 2023, down from current levels of around €120.
It comes as unseasonably warm weather delays the heating season, while a glut of liquefied natural gas shipments to Europe has allowed nations to refill storage sites. This has helped to soothe concerns about shortages and blackouts this winter, with prices tumbling from a peak of €340 hit in August.
Positive view from Dolphin Drilling
Aberdeen-headquartered Dolphin Drilling has given a bullish outlook to its shareholders.
The firm highlighted it expects UK North Sea project sanctions to exceed $10billion (£8.69billion) in 2023.
In a presentation to investors, the firm cited statistics from the North Sea Transition Authority and Rystad Energy, which it said illustrates a surge in activity next year.
It said project sanctioning in 2023 is likely to exceed $10billion off the back of a political focus to boost domestic demand following the energy crisis.
Energy Voice says Dolphin also noted the recently-launched North Sea leasing round, where more than 100 new licences are expected to be awarded.
Vote for industrial action by Scots ambulance staff
Ambulance staff have voted for strike action amid a pay dispute with the Scottish Government.
The BBC says more than 4,000 GMB members - including paramedics, technicians, nurses, porters, domestics, and radiographers - across eight health boards are backing the industrial action.
Strikes at Royal Mail
Royal Mail workers will stage two 48-hour strikes in a row over pay, jobs and conditions.
The Communication Workers' Union is recommending around 115,000 of its members reject a pay offer of around 9% spread over two years.
The BBC says the union had cancelled two strikes on November 12 and 14, saying it wants to take more "proportionate" action.
But workers will now walk out on Thursday and Friday November 24 and 25 and then again on Wednesday and Thursday November 30 and December 1.
Royal Mail urged workers not to strike at the busiest time of the year.
Aberdeen cycle-track petition
A petition has been launched asking for segregated cycling tracks the length of Union Street in Aberdeen, with claims it could "rejuvenate" the city centre.
Rachel Martin, campaigns secretary of the Aberdeen Cycle Forum, launched the petition on Change.org on Friday, and already it has attracted more than 100 supporters.
The Press and Journal says Rachel and those backing the appeal want the Granite Mile to have its own safe areas for people to ride their bikes on, with a physical separation from motorised traffic.
The cycle forum campaigner said she hopes such a change could help to "rejuvenate" the location, and could result in an "artery of cycle networks that radiate out from the city centre".
North-east roads flooded
Roads across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire were badly hit by flooding yesterday morning following heavy rain - with two major roads shut.
The Press and Journal says commuters into the city from north and south were delayed with the A92 Ellon Road closed at the Parkway roundabout, along with one side of Great Southern Road.
Food-price inflation still soaring
The cost of making a cup of tea went up significantly as food prices continued to rise at record rates in October, the British Retail Consortium said.
Costs for tea bags, milk and sugar all rose as food-price inflation jumped from 10.6% last month to 11.6%, the BRC-NielsenIQ price index found.
The hike in shop prices was due to higher costs for ingredients and energy, as well as worker shortages.
The BBC says the war in Ukraine has pushed up energy and food prices around the world.
Boris heading for COP27
Former Prime Minister Boris Johnson has confirmed he will attend the COP27 climate conference in Egypt after being invited by the organisers.
The new PM Rishi Sunak has been under pressure to attend, after initially saying he was too busy preparing for this month's UK Budget.
But it now looks increasingly likely that Mr Sunak will go after all, says the BBC.
His official spokesman said "significant progress" was being made on the financial statement.
The 27th meeting of the Conference Of the Parties is due to start in Sharm El-Sheikh on Sunday.
World leaders, including US President Joe Biden and France's Emmanuel Macron, are due to attend.
Costs race ahead for Scottish Prison Service
The Scottish Prison Service's gas and electricity bills have rocketed by 47% as it faces the threat of budget cuts.
The service also says the cost of providing food for prisoners has risen by almost 17% and could increase by up to 30%.
However, the BBC says the Scottish Government is proposing that the budget for the criminal-justice system will remain flat over the next four years.
The prison service's chief executive, Teresa Medhurst, said it was already under pressure due to inflation.
She warned the service had "no or very limited scope" for making savings.
Ms Medhurst has told the Scottish Parliament's criminal justice committee that a budget freeze could threaten its operational stability and leave it open to challenges under human-rights legislation.
Unwinding QE
The Bank of England has begun to unwind the key emergency support it brought in after the 2008 financial crisis.
The bank sold off a tranche of government bonds on Tuesday, as it started to reverse the process known as "quantitative easing" or QE.
QE has been credited with helping the UK through shocks such as Covid.
But it has also been blamed for bringing in an era of "cheap money" which benefited some but not others.
The BBC says the Bank began QE in March 2009, to prop up the UK economy after banks stopped lending to each other and the country fell into a deep recession.
Twitter blue tick will cost £7 a month
Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk says Twitter will charge $8 (£7) monthly to Twitter users who want a blue tick by their name indicating a verified account.
As part of changes after his £38billion takeover of the social media site, Mr Musk said it was "essential to defeat spam/scam".
The BBC says a blue tick mark next to a username - normally for high-profile figures - is currently free.
Mr Musk, the world's richest person, added that paid users would have priority in replies and searches, and half as many advertisements.
