 Germany and Austria to tap oil reserves after 400 million barrels requested  Germany and Austria announced they are releasing portions of their oil reserves in response to an International Energy Agency request for member nations to collectively release 400 million barrels to help ease rising energy prices linked to the Iran conflict. Japan also said it will begin releasing part of its reserves starting Monday. The move marks one of the largest coordinated releases of emergency oil stocks in history. The previous record came in 2022, when IEA members released 182.7 million barrels following the energy disruptions caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Member countries currently hold over 1.2 billion barrels of public emergency oil stocks, along with an additional 600 million barrels of industry stocks maintained under government requirements.

 Man United abandon £10m documentary due to financial woes and internal tensions


On July 13 – According to renowned UK outlet United in Focus, Manchester United have scrapped plans for a £10 million documentary amid financial difficulties and mounting internal tensions.


The report states that since INEOS took control of the club, balancing United’s finances has been their top priority. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has repeatedly spoken of United’s financial troubles, even warning that the club could face bankruptcy by the end of 2025. Ruthless cost-cutting measures – including mass layoffs at Old Trafford and Carrington – have become the norm, while on-field struggles have only worsened the situation.


Although raising funds remains a pressing concern for INEOS, manager Rúben Amorim recently stepped in to halt the production of a club documentary.


It is understood United recently turned down an Amazon-style “All or Nothing” series worth over £10 million after Amorim requested the club pull out of negotiations.


Football finance expert Kieran Maguire backed Amorim’s decision, suggesting United may have avoided significant trouble. He noted the club has already raised a similar sum through their Asian pre-season tour and said INEOS’s hardline management has strained relationships within the club:


“If cameras caught people looking miserable at Carrington, it wouldn’t be a good look. I find this fascinating because INEOS are usually all about revenue maximisation – I would’ve thought they’d take the £10m as long as they had a fair degree of editorial control. That could’ve been the sticking point: the producers may have wanted more control than Ratcliffe and his team were willing to give. This documentary could very easily have cost them £10m in negative PR.”
