UK LOOKS FOR STEEL BUYER

The British government is urging India-based Tata Steel to agree to a 'responsible sales process' for the UK plants it wants to offload.

Tata is selling its UK steelworks, which employ thousands but have been losing money in the face of a global steel glut.

UK Business Secretary Sajid Javid is in India for talks with Tata's chairman Cyrus Mistry and will also run negotiations with potential buyers.

The chief executive of Liberty Steel, Sanjeev Gupta, has expressed interest in Tata's operations.

Tata employs over 4000 people at its Port Talbot site in Wales alone - from Cardiff, Steve Francis reports.

script

The debate to have Jacob Zuma impeached has started.


The South African Parliament argues that Mr. Zuma is unsuitable to stay in office.


Last week, the highest court in South Africa ruled that President Zuma disobeyed the constitution after he failed to repay government money which was used to upgrade his home.


The ruling African National Congress- the ANC - which holds the majority in South Africa's parliament is expected to overpower the motion.


The opposition meanwhile is calling for a secret ballot in order to influence ANC members to support the motion. 


This appeal has been rejected by the parliament's speaker.


This is the latest of a line of corruption scandals that Mr Zuma has faced  since taking office.
