Shell profit tumbles on lower oil prices
By AFP Shell said Thursday that its net profit more than halved to $19.4 billion in 2023 on lower energy prices, after rocketing to a record peak the previous year following the Ukraine conflict. Post-tax profit slumped 54 percent after reaching an all-time high of $42.3 billion in 2022, when energy producer Russia’s invasion of Ukraine sent oil and gas prices soaring, boosting earnings across the industry. “Full year 2023 income… reflected lower realised oil and gas prices, lower volumes, and lower refining margins,” Shell added in the earnings release. It was also slammed by impairment and other accounting charges totalling $7.5 billion. Revenue dived almost a fifth percent to $316.6 billion.

Minister Aceng calls for early check-ups to combat NCDs, cancer
By Ronald Ssenvuma Health Minister Dr. Jane Ruth Aceng has encouraged Ugandans to prioritize preventative measures over cure.

Mainoo saves Man Utd blushes in seven-goal thriller at Wolves
By AFP Kobbie Mainoo scored a 97th-minute winner as Manchester United snatched a dramatic 4-3 win at Wolves on Thursday after blowing a two-goal lead. Marcus Rashford’s goalscoring return, days after being fined for missing training after a night out, looked set to grab the headlines as United raced into a 2-0 lead. Scott McTominay restored the visitors’ two-goal cushion after Pablo Sarabia’s penalty got Wolves back in the game. But the home side looked to have claimed a point when Max Kilman and Pedro Neto struck late on. However, 18-year-old Mainoo provided one final twist with a brilliant solo run and shot in the latest display of his potential as a rising star. “He’s making incredible progress. He has […]
