Anglo shares rise amid renewed takeover speculation
BHP is now free to relaunch a bid to acquire Anglo, as the six-month standstill mandated by London’s takeover rules has expired.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said he suspected the recent extreme winter weather may be a result of climate change, something the World Meteorological Organization said last year was tied to fossil fuels. Mother Nature may be sending a message then as ConocoPhillips blamed weather for a slump in recent oil and gas production.
Heavy rains and flooding are creating headaches for Britons. Cameron during his weekly appearance before the House of Commons warned of more extreme weather on the way and called on his constituents to be on alert.
