Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks to people during a visit to a community centre, about how the government is handling the impacts of the conflict in the Middle East, in London, Monday. (Reuters) British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Monday the government was monitoring the economic fallout of the US and Israel's war in Iran, as energy prices soared due to supply disruptions."The longer this goes on, the more likely the potential for an impact on our economy, impact into the lives and households of everybody and every business," Starmer said, speaking at a community centre in London."Our job is to get ahead of that, to look around the corner, assess the risk, monitor the risks, and work with others in relation to that."The prime minister tried to reassure the public amid deep concerns over prolonged cost-of-living pressures and high energy bills since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022.Starmer insisted the government was prepared to handle the economic fallout, with most households protected until summer by a price cap on gas and electricity.His finance minister Rachel Reeves will join G7 counterparts Monday for talks between the world's leading industrialised nations as the war in the Middle East entered its 10th day.They are scheduled to discuss a joint release of strategic oil reserves co-ordinated by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Financial Times reported.Starmer also defended ties between Washington and London, which looked increasingly frayed in the last week with US President Donald Trump criticising the British leader for initially refusing to have any role in the war."The discussion with our US counterparts, is happening at all levels, all of the time, every single day. That's the nature of the relationship," said Starmer, who on Sunday held his first phone call with Trump since the war broke out on February 28.But he insisted that "decisions about what's in Britain's best interests are decisions for the prime minister of Britain."

Bangladesh has tightened security at filling stations, sent students home and even scrapped light displays for independence and Ramadan celebrations, officials said Monday, as the Middle East war worsens the country's energy crunch.The South Asian nation of 170 million people imports 95 percent of its oil and gas needs.Following the US and Israeli attacks on Iran, and Tehran's retaliatory strikes throughout the Gulf, the national oil company, Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), restricted fuel sales for most vehicles on Sunday.The BPC said in a statement that if fuel consumption can be cut by 25 percent, Bangladesh will have 14 days of diesel left. The government has requested people to stop panic buying.The government has ordered mobile courts to begin operating in the capital Dhaka, to charge and fine those accused of breaching rules on fuel hoarding, smuggling or selling fuel on the open market.Long traffic queues backed out far from filling stations for a second day Monday.Ministry of Energy spokesman Mohammad Arif Sadek said that the police and army had been 'sent letters' to ensure security at filling stations and major depots.Bangladesh has also shut universities and brought forward the Eid holidays, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Many educational institutions were already closed for Ramadan.Home Minister Salahuddin Ahmed announced cuts to the decorative lighting that usually festoons government buildings, for both Independence Day on March 26 and Eid.'Traditionally we have decorative lighting and illuminations on Independence Day and other national days, but this time we will refrain from that, as part of the austerity measures,' Ahmed told reporters.Shopping malls, usually also draped in dazzling displays, were asked to stop the lighting.Nazmul Haque, president of the Bangladesh Petrol Pump Owners Association, said he had halved the amount of fuel he sells per day, warning of a string of fights as anger rose among consumers.'I can't sell enough fuel to make a profit,' he said.
