Gazprom says the EU objections are 'unfounded'.

British supermarket giant Tesco has reported the worst annual pre-tax loss in its history of £6.4bn ($9.5bn).

But the supermarket insists efforts to win back customers are beginning to work - with transaction numbers beginning to rise for the first time since 2012.
