British businesses stop shipping to Northern Ireland due to updated rules
Small British businesses have stopped selling to Northern Ireland as well as Europe due to extra administrative hurdles posed by new EU customs rules coming into effect. Many small firms said they are unable to meet new requirements for paperwork and numbering of each product as well as the need to have an "authorised representative" in the EU or Northern Ireland. A conviction and the penalty of fines mean business owners without the resources to get legal advice are not risking getting something wrong, instead simply halting Northern Ireland and EU exports, one businesswoman told Sky News.

Malibu wildfire destroys homes, forces 6,300 people to evacuate
MALIBU, California (Reuters) -Aided by favorable winds and weather, firefighters on Wednesday progressed in containing a wildfire in the beach community of Malibu, California, where 6,300 people evacuated their homes as schools and businesses shut their doors. Nearly 2,000 firefighters were battling the Franklin Fire, which scorched more than 4,000 acres (1,620 hectares) since it began on Monday and has destroyed nine buildings and damaged six others, officials said. The steep, rugged terrain northwest of Los Angeles prevented firefighters from reaching much of the blaze, which will take several more days to contain, said Dusty Martin, assistant fire chief with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).
