Donald Trump's latest tariffs on auto imports could send the UK into a recession, according to experts.
The US President says putting a 25 percent tariff in place would boost manufacturing - but this comes with risks for global supply chains.

Green MP Tamatha Paul has copped more criticism from her political peers.
The Wellington Central MP's been under fire over comments she made last week criticising police beat patrols - and suggesting all they do is throw away homeless people's possessions.
Tamatha Paul reiterated those claims in further interviews.
She also claimed a woman was imprisoned for stealing $12 worth of items - and when questioned, could not verify whether what she was told was true or not.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this isn't a good look.

The Government's made several housing announcements today - including allocating $100 million to be lent to developers for housing infrastructure on the outskirts of cities.
Minister Chris Bishop also confirms the Government will cut RMA red tape limiting development on new land.
He says the housing crisis is holding us back economically and socially.
RMA lawyer Johanna King says these changes could work out for farmers - who can build extra spaces on their land without restrictions getting in the way.

A driver who scraped another car with his vehicle while leaving a bar carpark has had an insurer's decision to turn down his claim on the basis he had been drinking overturned.
The claim was initially denied because the insurer said the driver was 'under the influence' - but he argued two handles of beer was hardly inebriated.
Barrister Chris Patterson says there's a lesson that can be taken from this.
"If you've been wronged, then it's worth taking the insurance company on. If you know that the insurance company's on good grounds because the grounds they gave you are fair and you accept them - it's probably not worth taking them on."

Eden Park chief executive Nick Sautner says his team is delighted by the vote.

Access to timely primary and hospital healthcare has significantly deteriorated.
Health New Zealand's released a Clinical Quality and Safety Review - using data from the past decade.
It reveals numbers of people waiting more than four months to see a specialist tripled between 2020 and 2023.
Chief clinical officer Richard Sullivan says Covid played a role and numbers are stabilising.
But he says there's a long way to go.
He also explained one target is 95 percent of patients waiting less than four months - but we're on about 60 percent, so improving that is a big focus.

Judith Collins says she believes public service productivity has increased under her Government.
It's on track towards the goal of cutting $400 million off contractor and consultant spending - with a forecast it'll cut more than double that figure.
The Public Service Minister says it's not a case of just shifting work onto public servants, because the service as whole shrank four percent in the year to June.
"Quite clearly, people are working better - but more people are focused, I think, on delivering better results for taxpayers."

Legislation to allow roadside drug testing has recently passed its third and final reading in Parliament - but concerns have been raised.
Some fear that people using ADHD medication could be caught out by the new roadside drug tests carried out by police.
AA Road Safety spokesperson Dylan Thomsen says testing devices in Australia don't generally pick up on ADHD medication or medicinal cannabis - so it's possible people won't need to worry.
"The law is also going to have a medical defence... so if you have a prescription and you're using it as prescribed, you shouldn't be looking at any fines or demerit points even if you did return a positive test."

KMD Brands, parent of Kathmandu, Rip Curl and Oboz, has posted a $20 million half-year loss despite growing sales year-on-year, a result the company puts down to struggling consumer confidence and wholesale channels.

Revenue Minister Simon Watts this month unveiled plans to change the Foreign Investment Fund (FIF) regime to give some foreigners with illiquid investments offshore an additional, possibly more advantageous, way of paying tax.
He said the Government would also consider exempting more Kiwis from the FIF rules, which incentivise domestic investment, but can be an administrative nightmare.
NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny unpacked the current concerns - and explained why people are calling on the Government to go further.
