'Teens are carrying larger weapons', warns Glasgow police chief
Glasgow Chief superintendent Emma Croft described the behaviour as 'challenging' for police but said overall, youth violence figures are down. The worrying trend comes after a number of alleged knife crime incidents involving young people. Kayden Moy, 16, died after a disturbance on Irvine beach last month, and in a separate incident, Amen Teklay, 15, died in Maryhill in March after sustaining serious injuries. Speaking at yesterday's Safe Glasgow Partnership meeting on crime statistics, Chief superintendent Croft said 'there is clearly a focus on youth related violence as a consequence of the incidents in Glasgow and Ayrshire over the last several months,' but she added that 'incidents of youth violence are still down over the five year average.' READ NEXT: 'Sense of excitement building' over Glasgow's George Square work The Greater Glasgow Divisional Commander added: 'What we are seeing, however, is a change of posture – potentially intent – with youths carrying unfortunately larger weapons motivated by social media and are travelling across Scotland to gather. 'This is a challenging picture for police to map and prevent. Our national violence work is therefore focused on the sharing of information of trends and locations. "The input of partners here is critical – in particular schools, educational and youth work and diversionary settings who my teams have been working with tirelessly.' Chief Superintendent Croft said work continues with partners including the 'Common Ground Programme, Scottish Fire & Rescue Service, youth workers and many others to target areas where we see incidents of youth and related violence and disorder at the weekends.' READ NEXT: Plans approved to transform Admiral Pub site in Glasgow Last month, Police Scotland urged young people not to carry knives, following the death of Kayden Moy. Explaining prevention work taking place, Partnership superintendent Ryan McMurdo said school engagement officers work in 39 schools in the Glasgow area delivering programmes including the No Knives Better Lives and the Pitchin' In Programme to reduce youth crime. Other efforts include the Common Ground Youth Project in the city centre and the Police Scotland Youth Volunteers, which has over 100 people involved. Figures presented to the Safe Glasgow Partnership showed overall violent crime has increased this year to date by 1.8 per cent compared to the previous year to date. A total of 12,060 violent crimes were recorded this year to date, compared to 11,844 for the previous year to date in the Glasgow city area. The meeting heard there is a reduction in serious assaults, homicides, attempted murders and robberies compared to the previous year to date. There has been an increase in common assaults.

Aussies turn to alternative models for modern and affordable housing
Australians are increasingly looking beyond the traditional detached home to meet their housing needs, as affordability pressures, changing lifestyles and sustainability goals drive innovation in the housing sector. Simon Croft, Chief Executive - Industry & Policy at the Housing Industry Association (HIA), said the shift toward alternative housing models reflects a broader rethink about how Australians live. "We're seeing stronger interest in a much wider range of housing options," Croft said. "Kit homes, tiny homes, granny flats, container builds, earthships and fully off-grid homes are all part of a growing landscape that offers flexibility, affordability and choice." The range of alternative housing options in Australia showcases the diverse possibilities of modern home ownership and hints at what the future may look like. Customisable and cost-effective, kit homes are delivered as pre-cut materials, allowing buyers to assemble with minimal construction costs. They also lend themselves well to off-grid living as many can be outfitted with solar panels and rainwater tanks for eco-conscious buyers. "Kit homes are often more affordable to purchase and quicker to build, offering a solution for regional or remote areas where labour shortages or transport costs make conventional builds challenging," Croft said. Often built on trailer platforms, these compact yet efficient dwellings offer mobility and freedom. Despite their small size, they are cleverly designed to maximise storage and functionality and are especially attractive to younger buyers and retirees seeking an affordable, low-maintenance lifestyle. "Tiny homes have captured attention for their low cost of ownership, smaller environmental footprint and suitability for those seeking to simplify or downsize," Croft said. "However, in many areas, planning schemes have not yet caught up to accommodate tiny homes as a mainstream option and they face regulatory challenges." Prefabricated models and innovative designs make these secondary dwellings cost-effective and quick to install. Being self-contained they can serve as guest accommodations, rental investments or independent living spaces for family members. "Granny flats - or secondary dwellings - are increasingly popular as state governments ease restrictions and provide fast-track approvals," Croft said. "They offer multi-generational living options, support ageing-in-place and can generate rental income. They also help maximise land use in areas where new greenfield sites are limited." Repurposing shipping containers into homes is not only sustainable but also offers a modern, industrial aesthetic. Buyers can combine multiple containers to create unique layouts or opt for a single unit for a compact, budget-friendly home. Insulated and weatherproofed, these homes are well-suited to Australia's diverse climate. "Recycled shipping containers offer a flexible, fast construction method with sustainability appeal," Croft said. "But they do require careful design to ensure comfort, insulation and long-term durability, as well as understanding the regulatory requirements controlling their use." Built with natural or recycled materials, these homes often incorporate features like thermal mass construction, solar energy and water harvesting systems. "These homes sit at the leading edge of environmentally sustainable living, aiming for complete water, waste and energy self-sufficiency," Croft said. "They appeal to those wanting to dramatically reduce their footprint, but come with higher upfront costs, site limitations and ongoing maintenance needs." --- While alternative housing solutions are gaining momentum, Croft believes they won't replace traditional homes but rather complement them. "Australia faces the enormous task of delivering 1.2 million new homes over the next five years," he said. "A more diverse housing mix will help meet that target, but it's critical governments work to remove regulatory red tape and provide clear, nationally consistent planning frameworks."

Fight to the death: The world has to prepare for a Middle East energy storm
It has not yet targeted the vast oil terminal at Kharg Island, which accounts for 90 per cent of Iran's crude exports and essentially funds the clerico-military regime. Croft sees a clear and rising risk that Israel will cross this line, setting off a perilous chain reaction. You could read market insouciance as evidence that oil no longer matters as much as we used to think. The 'oil intensity' of global GDP has fallen by 60 per cent since the energy crisis of the 1970s. Right now, the world is awash with crude. Saudi Arabia and Gulf states have launched an undeclared price war against non-OPEC rivals – and OPEC cheaters – adding 400,000 barrels a day to supply each month at a time when the Trump-battered global economy is too weak to absorb it. Behind this is a larger and relentless headwind for petrostates: China is moving with breathtaking speed to electrify its economy and end its reliance on seaborne fossil imports. Electric vehicles already make half of all new cars sold in the world's largest car market. The trajectory is unstoppable and near vertical in historical time. It is spreading to trucks, and spreading across East Asia. Loading This is the deeper reason why Saudi Arabia has stopped trying to prop up crude prices, and switched to chasing market share. But you can still have violent oil price spikes even within a structural bear market. Iran's oil export revenues were $US53 billion ($82 billion) last year. Half goes directly to the military, funding nuclear enrichment, drone production and the missile forces of the Revolutionary Guard Corps. The cardinal problem for Netanyahu is that he does not have the bunker-busting bomb – the Massive Ordnance Penetrator – the only weapon able to blow up the Fordow nuclear complex, built deep underground near Qom and beyond the strike-power of the Israeli air force. It should be obvious by now that he will not stop until he has destroyed Iran's nuclear capability and crippled the regime beyond recovery. So unless he can knock out the Fordow site by other means, which will prove very difficult, the fallback strategy is to smash the Kharg Island facilities and squeeze the Iranian revenue stream until the pips squeak. Iran has been shipping 1.5 million barrels per day despite Western sanctions, mostly smuggled to China in 'dark fleet' tankers with the full complicity of Beijing. This is up from near zero in 2022. Saudi Arabia has enough spare capacity to offset the total loss of Iran's exports if need be. But an Israeli strike on Kharg Island would not end there. Iran's Revolutionary Guard has always threatened to shut the Strait of Hormuz, set off maximum energy havoc, and globalise the conflict, if their own oil export facilities are ever attacked. Iran lacks the means to close the narrow chokepoint entirely, and its ships would risk annihilation by the US Fifth Fleet if it tried. But it can still cause chaos by launching pinprick attacks on tankers as it did in 2019, rendering commercial ships almost insurable. 'They could mine the Strait,' said Croft. S&P Global Market Intelligence said the Iranian regime may lash out at energy infrastructure across the region as a final, desperate move once it depletes its missile stock and loses its main tool of leverage. It might try to mobilise the Iraqi Shiite militias, such as the Kataib Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilisation Forces, to paralyse the Basra oil terminals – threatening up to 3.4 million barrels per day of exports. Loading Iran does not want a parallel conflict with Sunni Arab states. It is already reeling from the loss of its strategic ally in Syria, and the decapitation of its Hezbollah proxies in Lebanon. It repaired ties with Saudi Arabia two years ago in a deal brokered by China. Nor does it want to irritate China. But there are limits to forbearance if the regime is pushed to the wall. 'We do not think the Iranian leadership will prioritise keeping crude supplies steady to China over trying to ensure their own survival,' Croft said. Oxford Economics said a full-blown oil crisis of this kind would push oil to $US130, and push both global and US inflation to 6 per cent. It is China that now depends most on oil and LNG from the Gulf. America imports almost no fossil fuels from the region, except for a little Arabian heavy crude to balance its refineries. That shields the US from immediate supply risk, but not from a price shock. Arbitrage through the futures market instantly links US and global oil prices. Petrol at the pump shoots up for Americans too in such a crisis. They drive twice as far as Britons or Germans on average, and their cars use 50 per cent more fuel per mile. Donald Trump may conclude that it is better to join the war and drop his bunker-buster on Fordow rather than risk a cost of living shock on his watch. But that would create a far-reaching and dangerous situation of a different kind.
