this industrial action is short of a full strike day, but means that drivers will refuse to work any overtime from first thing tomorrow until saturday night. so six full days in total. now, that's important because most train companies rely on drivers working that overtime in order to run their full schedules. so this action will affect 15 operators running services across england. let's have a look at some of them. we've got thameslink and southern down here. great northern, of course, elland air and avanti west coast. they run trains all the way from london up into scotland. so what can we expect? well, many have said they will have to run reduced timetables. for example, some may cancel the first and last trains of the day. there could also be some short notice cancellations as well. so as ever, passengers advised check before you travel. now, this dispute, of course, is about pay. aslaug has rejected an offer of a 4% rise back dated last year and a further 4% this year. the operators and the government, of course, wanted the union to agree to changes to working practices

to modernise the railways. now the good news aslaug doesn't have any full strike days plan at this stage, but the other rail union, the rmt, they're also in dispute over pay jobs and working conditions and they rejected a similar pay offer. and as you can see, they're planning three further 2a hour walk—outs onjuly the 20th, the 22nd and july the 29th. they will involve guards and station staff. so no further negotiations between the companies and either union are planned. i'm afraid there is a summer of rail disruption looking increasingly likely. marc ashdown there. meanwhile, china has called on the netherlands not to hinder bilateral cooperation in the semiconductor industry... and not to abuse export controls. this was after the dutch government announced new restrictions on the exports of some chips equipment — joining the us and japan. the netherlands is home to asml , one of the most important semiconductor companies in the world.

electric cars have been promoted as one of the solutions to reducing the world's dependence on fossilfuels, and its production has increased around the world. but a report from the university of technology sydney says switching to electric cars could potentially cause more problems for the environment because demand for minerals like lithium would mean digging hundreds of new mines. elsa dominish is an author of that report and shejoins us now. it is an important part of the solution to decarbonization art transport system and they are better alternative than because we have now but they would be important but we know they are increasing demand for lots of minerals. increasing demand for lots of minerals-— minerals. what we call transition _ minerals. what we call transition mirror i minerals. what we call| transition mirror shows minerals. it includes lithium, cobalt, graphite and rare earths. we know there's new mining happening across the globe which is leading to some human rights impacts and environmental harm. aside from

the boss of wh smith told our world service marketplace reporter leanna byrne that he's now focused on expansion in america and europe. we opened our first store at euston station in london back at the beginning of the 19th century. so we've had stores in travel for 180 years, and one of the first ever airport stores was heathrow. and we had a store at heathrow airport back 85 years ago. and we've always sold products that people need for their travel journey. increasingly, we've branched out into selling all of the travel essentials that people need for theirjourney. so tech accessories, the products that make your hardware work, and health and beauty, pain relief as well as food to go all of those products. about four years ago, we acquired a business in the us called inmotion,

which sells tech accessories. and a year after that we are quite another business in the us called mrg and they have a variety of brands. so in america we've got lots and lots of different retail brands and the difference with our american business is we almost do bespoke retailfor airports. so we sit down with an airport and we talk to them about the sort of brands that they want and the sort of product categories that they want. and then we design specific brands for them. so in the us, we've probably got the best part of 30, 35 different fascias of stores in the uk and europe. it's mostly about wh smith and inmotion, albeit we do have a few sort of extra brands and souvenir brands that we put in place.
