Mining stoppage adds to Eramet's New Caledonia woes
Eramet subsidiary SLN's nickel mining operations in northern New Caledonia have been suspended, adding to difficulties at the loss-making business that saw a slide in first-quarter output. SLN is part of a struggling New Caledonian nickel industry that the French government is trying to salvage with a proposed rescue package. Mining production at SLN was 1.0 million wet metric tons in the first quarter, down 32% from the same period last year, as issues over mining permits weighed on output.

Soccer-Criticism part of life at Manchester United, Fernandes says
Players must accept criticism as readily as praise at Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes said after the Portuguese midfielder rescued his side with two goals in a 4-2 home Premier League victory over Sheffield United. Fernandes made it 2-2 from the penalty spot in the 61st minute then put United ahead with a long-range strike 20 minutes later after the hosts had fallen behind twice against the Premier League's bottom team. United had come in for heavy criticism following Sunday's FA Cup semi-final against Coventry City where they squandered a 3-0 lead before going through via a penalty shoot-out.
