Gambling advertisements featuring Lewis Hamilton and the Chelsea Football Club logo have been banned in the UK due to concerns they could appeal to children. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled against ads from two firms, Kwiff and Betway, after investigations into complaints.

• The ASA noted Lewis Hamilton's 150,000 Instagram followers under 18 in the UK as evidence of his appeal to youths.
• Betway's ad, seen on YouTube in May, featured fans with the Chelsea badge, while Kwiff's X post in July promoted the British Grand Prix with Hamilton's image.
• Kwiff has since reviewed its social media to remove content featuring mainstream sportspeople, while Betway expressed concern that banning the advert could set a "damaging precedent for gambling sponsorships in sport."

The governor of the Bank of England, Andrew Bailey, has voiced concerns over the collapse of two US companies, suggesting they could signal broader issues within the financial system. He drew parallels to the 2008 financial crisis, prompting fears of a "canary in the coalmine" situation.

• The collapse of car parts supplier First Brands and subprime car lender Tricolor has raised "alarm bells" for the Bank of England.
• Andrew Bailey, governor of the Bank of England, highlighted the potential for wider financial problems and the upcoming "stress test" of private equity and credit firms.
• The practice of "slicing and dicing and tranching of loan structures" in private credit is reminiscent of pre-2008 financial crisis complexities, according to Bailey.

The price of orange juice in the UK has skyrocketed, with a typical supermarket own-label carton rising from 76p to £1.79 in five years – a 134% increase since 2020 and 29% in the past year alone. This surge is attributed to a "perfect storm" of factors impacting global orange supply.

• A glass of orange juice and lemonade at a Kent restaurant cost £9, with the orange juice itself accounting for £5.30.
• Global orange concentrate prices increased from $1 (75p) to a record $5.30 per pound by the end of last year, driven by five years of poor crops due to severe drought and citrus greening disease in Brazil and Florida.
• Manufacturers are increasingly blending orange juice with cheaper alternatives like mango or mandarin concentrate to maintain traditional sweetness and cut costs, as seen with Tropicana's "essentials" blends.
• Trade tensions, including President Trump's 10% tariff on orange juice from Brazil, and new packaging regulations have further contributed to price hikes.
• While a recovery in Brazil's orange harvest offers hope for price normalisation, the concentration of the market in a few large producers and a 30% decline in global consumption from its peak **two decades ago** complicate a return to lower prices.
