Typical 'in-depth' report from Laura Kuenssberg #BBC - the EU and UK are rapidly ramping up the arms industries in Europe and the one thing they are going to need is a lot of is steel - but no mention of that! Then she rabbits on about replacing the blast furnaces with electric ark furnaces showing complete ignorance of steel making. It is not possible to make steel with electric arc furnaces - they just melt down existing scrap steel. Although Sweden is developing and new method, large amounts of steel can only be made in blast furnaces. - ffs this woman is paid £330.000 a year for this ignorance!
