    Wage growth has slipped below the rate of inflation, a development that threatens damage to living standards and the wider economy through an erosion of household spending power. The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported that average wages, when the effects of bonuses were excluded, grew by 2.2% in the three months to February. While that was slightly better than economists had predicted, it still marked a 0.1% fall on the previous month's figure, which meant salaries failed to keep pace with the rate of inflation for the first time since the summer of 2014. The Consumer Price Index measure stood at 2.3% in February and remained steady in figures for the following month, released on Tuesday.

Russia US relations have worsened under Trump: Putin

    President Vladimir Putin said ties between Russia and the United States appear to have worsened under Donald Trump in an interview released Wednesday as the countries' top diplomats met in Moscow.

Moscow and Washington are trying to figure each other out during the first visit by a senior member of Donald Trump's administration to Russia. The U.S. has bl...
