The Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries isn´t comfortable with oil prices returning to $100 a barrel, said the group´s secretary-general, Abdalla El Badri. El Badri said he doesn´t expect prices to reach three figures in the near future as there is "no shortage of oil supply." The rally to a one-year high above $80 a barrel on Tuesday is driven by higher equities, the sliding dollar and speculation, he told reporters on Tuesday.

Apple Inc´s profits and sales streaked past Wall Street forecasts as iPhone and Mac sales hit quarterly records, sending its shares rocketing to all-time highs on Monday.

There is something about this time of year, with summer gone and fall not yet truly upon us, that makes me want to bustle about the kitchen canning and preserving and setting aside all manner of good things for the harsh months ahead. There is, however, one slight problem: I have no idea how to go about canning. And even if I did know how, I don´t have the time or the cupboard space to throw myself into heavy-duty preserving. But these...
While we´re still struggling to come to terms with this season´s 80s love affair, designers have already moved on. Next northern summer is all about a 90s revival: sportswear and grunge mixed with a massive shot of glitz and glamour. Some of the trends seen on the catwalks over the last month are as easy to slip into as an old Nirvana T-shirt, but others will take a little more practice. Here´s our pick of the items you´ll need to indulge that retro look. KITTEN HEELS After several seasons of stilettos...
