A month later, there was more awkwardness when Oppenheimer was named best picture at the Oscars, in an announcement fumbled by Al Pacino.
The company has said that Port Talbot’s blast furnace operation was incurring losses of £1m a day and was financially unsustainable.It is also the largest polluter in Wales. The blast furnaces emit around two tonnes of carbon dioxide for every tonne of steel they produce.
It is estimated that Wales’ overall emissions will be cut by 15 to 20% with the closure of the furnaces.The company will build an electric arc furnace to produce steel by melting scrap metal, with construction set to begin in August 2025.The process will take several years to complete, and will require far fewer jobs to operate than the traditional blast furnaces.
Seven men have been found guilty of abusing two young girls in Rotherham, who were often collected from the children's homes where they lived and raped or sexually assaulted.The National Crime Agency (NCA), who investigated the case, said the evidence was "some of the most harrowing" it had come across.
The girls, who were aged between 11 and 16 at the time, were groomed and plied with alcohol or drugs before being abused, the NCA added.
The men were found guilty following a nine-week trial at Sheffield Crown Court.Recycling rates hit a new record in Wales in October – with two thirds of council-collected waste now recycled, re-used or composted.
Asked by BBC Wales why the Welsh government was unable to persuade Labour UK ministers to introduce glass, Huw Irranca-Davies blamed the previous Westminster administration and the UK Internal Market Act."It's because of the legislation that was a bequest of the Conservative Party. They really messed it up here a little bit, I've got to say."
He said it had stymied the ability to manage a UK wide-system."It takes something like 1500 degrees to take a smashed piece of glass to heat it up and turn it into something new. The energy costs and the carbon costs for that are significant.
