The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has said that thousands of employees who have been dismissed from the department and the public health agencies it oversees, including the FDA, CDC and National Institutes of Health, may be asked to temporarily continue working for two months. The department earlier this week began mass layoffs, with the aim of firing 10,000 employees in accordance with a broader plan by the White House to shrink the federal government. Staffers said they were given "reduction in force" notices that said they were being placed on administrative leave effective April 1 and until June 2. "All employees affected by the reduction in force may be asked to temporarily work until their government service ends on June 2," said HHS spokesperson Andrew Nixon. "This decision is focused on ensuring that the transition is as seamless as possible, minimizing any disruption to the agency's mission and operations. HHS fully supports this approach, which aims to maintain public health services while managing the reorganization process effectively."

The UK financial sector is struggling to improve female representation in senior roles, with analysis showing that women working in finance held 36% of senior positions last year, up from 35% in 2023 and 34% in 2022. The HM Treasury Women in Finance Charter report, compiled by New Financial, attributes this slow progress to factors like restructuring and hiring freezes. Dame Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva, described the pace of change as "frankly unacceptable." The charter, initiated in 2016 and signed by around 450 companies, aims to boost female representation in leadership. However, many firms are unlikely to meet their targets, with 44% of those with deadlines this year admitting they will fall short. The report also highlights that 95% of companies have adopted hybrid working models, which may benefit women with caregiving responsibilities.

The U.S. Department of Education has mandated that states and school districts certify they are not using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs, in order to continue receiving federal funds. A letter from the Trump administration gives state education chiefs 10 days to comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits race-based discrimination. The letter states that DEI practices are considered “impermissible” and could lead to funding cuts. “Federal financial assistance is a privilege, not a right,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for civil rights, said in a statement. He added that many schools have flouted their legal obligations, “including by using DEI programs to discriminate against one group of Americans to favor another.” Michael Pillera, director of the educational opportunities project for the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, remarked: “The goal here is increased threats and intimidation to cause a chilling effect.” The Education Department's actions have sparked confusion among educators regarding what constitutes a violation of the orders, with many working to address racial disparities since the murder of George Floyd in 2020.

Conservative legal group New Civil Liberties Alliance (NCLA) has filed what it says is the first lawsuit seeking to block Donald Trump's new tariffs on imports from China, arguing that the president is overstepping the limits of his authority. The group is representing a Florida-based stationery business called Simplified, which claims it will suffer “severe” harm from his “unconstitutional” tariffs on China. “By invoking emergency power to impose an across-the-board tariff on imports from China that the statute does not authorize, President Trump has misused that power, usurped Congress’s right to control tariffs, and upset the Constitution’s separation of powers", NCLA senior litigation counsel Andrew Morris said in a statement. Trump has declared an emergency over China's alleged complicity in the U.S. opioid epidemic, framing tariffs as a negotiating tool for ending the influx of the drugs. Meanwhile, earlier this morning Beijing announced a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports starting April 10, mirroring the U.S. reciprocal tariff of the same rate. Additionally, China has suspended chicken imports from two U.S. suppliers due to health violations and added 27 firms to its trade sanctions list.

Members of Holyrood's finance and public administration committee are to examine the cost-effectiveness of public inquiries in Scotland, amid concerns over their financial implications. The investigation will assess whether these inquiries provide value for money and if spending controls are feasible, given their independent nature. The Institute for Government reported that between 1990 and 2024, at least £1.5bn was spent on completed public inquiries. Recent inquiries, including those into the Covid pandemic and hospital safety, have already cost nearly £200m. The Edinburgh tram inquiry took nine years and cost over £13m, raising questions about the efficiency of such processes. Kenny Gibson, the SNP MSP who chairs the finance committee, pledged to conduct a "short, sharp inquiry" that would examine the size of legal and consultant fees, which on average account for almost half of costs. He said one issue that had been raised was the possibility of a perceived conflict of interests within the legal profession, in which lawyers representing clients demand public inquiries then gain financially if they take place.

Kirkland & Ellis, the largest law firm in the U.S. by revenue, is in discussions with the White House to prevent an executive order that could impact its operations, reports the Wall Street Journal. The firm, which has some 4,000 lawyers and brought in about $9bn last year, is eager to avoid a conflict with the White House and has hired a lobbyist as part of its efforts, sources with knowledge of the situation have said. Meanwhile, Milbank, one of New York's elite law firms, has struck a deal with Donald Trump and agreed to “not engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences” or “deny representation to any clients on the basis of . . . political affiliation." The deal, which pledges to spend $100m on initiatives backed by the firm and Trump, avoids “what could have been an unnecessary confrontation,” Milbank chair Scott Edelman said.

The president of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen has vowed Europe will stand together in response to US tariffs, warning of further countermeasures if negotiations fail. Von der Leyen also spoke of the "immense consequences," of the tariffs, labelling them as a "major blow" to the world economy. She said there was “no clear path through the complexity and chaos that is being created as all US trading partners are hit,” but she insisted the EU’s unity “is our strength” and the bloc would be prepared to respond with calibrated countermeasures. Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni called the introduction of US tariffs “wrong” as she vowed to “do everything we can to work towards an agreement with the United States, with the aim of avoiding a trade war that would inevitably weaken the West in favour of other global players.”
