Thousands of probationary employees are being fired as the Trump administration directs federal agencies to carry out widespread layoffs. CNN reports that officials are targeting probationary workers because they have fewer job protections and lack the right to appeal. More than 200,000 employees have worked within the federal government for less than a year, according to 2024 data from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM). “The probationary period is a continuation of the job application process, not an entitlement for permanent employment,” an OPM spokesperson said. “Agencies are taking independent action in light of the recent hiring freeze and in support of the President’s broader efforts to restructure and streamline the federal government to better serve the American people at the highest possible standard.”

The Daily Telegraph reports that JP Morgan is running out of desk space at its Canary Wharf headquarters in East London as the investment bank pushes its 22,000 UK employees to return to the office five days a week. The lender currently lacks the space there to accommodate all staff, despite a company-wide order to end home working, the Telegraph understands. London staff have been advised that they do not have to return to the office until additional desk space is ready. Meanwhile, in the US, JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon has this week rejected employee calls to soften the bank's five-day return-to-office policy. Some workers have voiced their concerns on internal platforms, and around 950 have signed a petition against the policy. In a town hall meeting on Wednesday, Dimon said: "Don't waste time on it. I don't care how many people sign that . . . petition," as he underscored his commitment to in-person work despite employee dissatisfaction. In-office mandates will not be left up to managers, Dimon said. "There is no chance that I will leave it up to managers . . . Zero chance. The abuse that took place is extraordinary." He emphasised the need for increased efficiency, demanding a 10% improvement across departments, and criticised the excessive bureaucracy within the bank. Dimon said some employees did not pay attention during Zoom meetings, which reduced their efficiency and creativity.

In her confirmation hearing on Thursday for Education Secretary, Linda McMahon told the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) that she envisions a vastly diminished role for the U.S. Department of Education in the future. “The president has given a very clear directive that he would like to look in totality at the Department of Education, and believes that the bureaucracy of it should be closed, that we should return education to our states, that the best education is that closest to the kids,” McMahon said, adding that she is open-minded on the return of the department's civil rights investigation arm to the U.S. Department of Justice, and on shifting IDEA responsibilities the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. During the hearing, McMahon also voiced support for more skill-based learning and dual enrollment in K-12. The HELP panel will vote on advancing her nomination to the full floor next Thursday, after which she is expected to be confirmed by the Republican-controlled Senate.

President Donald Trump has announced plans to increase U.S. tariffs to match foreign tax rates on imports, and has ordered agencies to investigate plans for new reciprocal levies that could boost America’s revenues. Commerce Secretary nominee Howard Lutnick said he anticipates the investigation will be complete by April 1st. It is then up to Trump to decide, as of April 2nd, when to enact the recommendations. “They charge us a tax or tariff and we charge them the exact same,” Trump told reporters Thursday in the Oval Office before signing a memo dubbed the “Fair and Reciprocal Plan.” “Nobody knows what that number is unless you go by country,” Trump said. In calculating what reciprocal tariff rate to levy on other nations, Trump said his administration will also be taking into account nations with value-added tax (VAT), which he labeled “far more punitive than a tariff.” He added: “Prices could go up somewhat short term, but prices will also go down. So Americans should prepare for some short-term pain.” The U.S. currently has a weighted average import tariff rate of 2% on industrial goods, according to the U.S. Trade Representative, giving special consideration to the value of a country's imports.

Survivors of historical child abuse in Scotland's care system are set to receive over £150m in compensation. The Redress Scotland scheme has been established to compensate survivors, offering payments ranging from £10,000 to £100,000. Some 23 organisations have agreed to participate in the scheme and make financial contributions to compensate victims. Scotland’s 32 local authorities have agreed to contribute up to £100m over a decade to the scheme. The government continues to seek financial contributions from organisations responsible for instances of abuse. Religious organisations have also contributed, including the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, a Roman Catholic order for women, which has agreed to pay a maximum of £10m to people who suffered abuse at their hands.

Attorneys general from 14 states have challenged the authority of billionaire Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to access sensitive government data and exercise “virtually unchecked power” in a lawsuit filed in federal court in Washington, D.C. which contends that the Trump administration lacked the authority to establish DOGE without Congressional approval and to grant Musk executive powers over it. The attorneys general asked the court to order Musk to identify ways that “any data obtained through unlawful agency access was used,” and destroy “such unauthorized access in his or DOGE’s possession.” The lawsuit is being led by the New Mexico Department of Justice and the attorneys general of Arizona and Michigan. They are joined in filing the lawsuit by the attorneys general of California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, and Vermont.

The High Court is hearing a case against Shell regarding allegations of oil pollution in Nigeria, which has left thousands without access to clean water and devastated local agriculture and fishing. Lawyers representing 13,000 Nigerians claim that Shell's negligence in preventing oil theft and spills has severely harmed the Bille and Ogale communities. Shell contends that most pollution results from criminal activities, and said that its subsidiary, SPDC, undertakes clean-up efforts regardless of the cause. Leigh Day says if the case succeeds, it would be the first time a UK multinational had been found to have breached human rights by polluting the environment.
