Contrary to numerous recent media reports, there is no evidence to suggest that Russia is making a specific "play" to boost President Trump's reelection bid, a U.S. intelligence official told Fox News on Sunday.
In addition, top U.S. election official Shelby Pierson, who briefed Congress on Russian election interference efforts, may have overstated intelligence regarding the issue when speaking to the House Intelligence Committee earlier this month, the source added.
The Wall Street Journal reported last week, citing people familiar with her work, that Pierson "has a reputation for being injudicious with her words and not appreciating the delicate work of corralling federal agencies, technology firms and state election officials to collaborate on election security."
* President Trump congratulated Bernie Sanders on his victory in the Nevada caucuses * He predicted Sanders would win the Democratic nomination 'if they don't cheat him out of it' * He said he was not briefed that Russia was trying to help Sanders
President Donald Trump has denied getting told by to intelligence officials that Russia is intervening in the 2020 primaries and – following an explosive report about a Capitol briefing on Russia's intentions.
'Nobody said it to me at all,' Trump told reporters at the White House Sunday as he departed for a trip to India, asked if he has been briefed that Russia is trying to help Sanders.
Trump also blasted House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff, who served as the lead House impeachment manager and whose committee got a briefing with a top intelligence official that led Trump to dress down outgoing Director of Intelligence Joseph Maguire.
* Israel said warplanes launched strikes against Palestinian Islamic Jihad group * Syria said its air defences confronted the strikes launched from Golan Heights * Israel said it responded to rockets fired from the Gaza Strip Sunday morning * It said the sites targeted in both Syria and Gaza were used for rocket making
Israel tonight pounded targets surrounding Damascus, prompting a volley of anti-aircraft fire in return, sending tremors through the Syrian capital.
In a rare acknowledgement of operations in neighbouring Syria, Israel said its warplanes attacked targets of the Palestinian militant Islamic Jihad group south of Damascus in addition to sites in the Gaza Strip.
Syria reported an Israeli attack near Damascus International Airport and said its air defences confronted Israeli rockets coming from the direction of the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights. It said the defenders intercepted or shot down most of them.
Residents said multiple explosions shook Damascus for about 15 minutes as air defences fired back.
* South Korea on Sunday reported 169 new cases of coronavirus and four new deaths, in the largest number of confirmed infections outside China * The outbreak can largely be traced to a religious sect in Daegu, the nation's fourth-largest city
South Korea raised its alert on the new coronavirus to the highest level on Sunday after reporting four more deaths and 169 more cases. President Moon Jae-in said the country was facing a "grave turning point" following a government meeting called to discuss the outbreak.
The country has seen a rapid surge in the number of coronavirus cases since a cluster of infections emerged from a religious sect in the southern city of Daegu.
Professor David Hui Shu-cheong, an infectious disease expert at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, said Hong Kong might consider issuing travel advice on South Korea, but in the meantime any Hongkongers planning to visit "should wear masks and be vigilant about personal hygiene".
* Iraq, Pakistan, Turkey, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have imposed bans * Eight people in Iran have now died from the new Covid-19 coronavirus * Iraq has barred Iranians from entering its country altogether

Iraq has barred Iranians from entering the country altogether, Pakistan has suspended almost all traffic across the border with Iran and Turkey has temporarily closed its land border today.
Eight people have been refused entry to Turkey from Iran since Friday, when the country introduced health checks on travellers at frontier crossings.

Almost 60 million people have been placed under an unprecedented lockdown in China's Hubei province since the novel coronavirus broke through its capital city, Wuhan. A month on, here's a look at what life in the usually bustling transport hub has been like.
It's a city more populous than London or New York, and in recent months, it has rivalled the two metropoles for global attention — albeit for the wrong reasons.
This city is Wuhan — the Chinese provincial capital of Hubei — which has recently come to be known as the epicentre of an outbreak of a new coronavirus, known as COVID-19.
The virus is a sibling to the common cold, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), but so far has killed more than SARS and MERS combined.

Communist Party and state leaders attend a meeting in Beijing on Sunday to advance the work on coordinating the prevention and control of the epidemic. Photo: Xinhua
* Xi promises fiscal help to overcome the challenges as country tries to get back to work * But China will continue to pursue its social and economic goals
In a meeting on an unprecedented scale, Chinese President Xi Jinping said the coronavirus epidemic was the country's most serious public health crisis and promised more pro-growth policies to help overcome it.
According to state news agency Xinhua, Xi's address via teleconference on Sunday was open to every county government and every military regiment throughout the country.
He said the epidemic was "the fastest spreading, with the most infected and was the most difficult to prevent and control" since the founding of the People's Republic.
* WHO chief warned Friday that the world must not squander a narrowing 'window of opportunity' over virus * Experts now warn the 'tipping point' has been brought closer as cases soared in the last 24 hours * Italy has recorded three deaths - the first Europeans - as it locked down some 50,000 in 12 northern towns * Austria on Sunday held a train from Italy carrying 300 people after two complained of flu-like symptoms * South Korea went on 'red alert' as global infections soared to 80,000, including nearly 2,500 deaths * Iran's death toll rose to eight prompting border restrictions from neighbouring countries in the Middle East * And four infected Britons were rushed to hospital after 32 arrived home from Diamond Princess cruise liner
Experts have warned the world has reached a coronavirus 'tipping point' after an explosion of cases in the last few days, including three deaths in Italy and another four infected in Britain, sparked panic in Europe.
It comes as Austria last night briefly halted all trains moving to and from Italy which has locked down 50,000 residents in 12 of its northern towns after 150 became infected.
As Italy recorded its first death on Friday, the director general of the World Health Organisation Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke of a narrowing 'window of opportunity.'
Sharp rises in Italy, Iran and South Korea have brought this window into stark focus as the global infection toll soared to 79,166 today, including 2,470 deaths.
State Department underlings made the quick decision to allow them onto the flights, but separated from the other passengers withing bio-containment units (seen in background)
* President Trump is furious that infected evacuees were flown back to US from Japan last Saturday * Decision was made on the fly after infections were confirmed at last minute at the Tokyo airport * US evacuated 328 passengers from coronavirus cruise ship Diamond Princess in Japan last week * But any confirmed infected or symptomatic cases were supposed to remain in Japan for treatment * State Department overruled CDC objections and decided to bring the 14 back anyway * Trump reportedly blasted aides for not telling him, saying he disagreed with the decision
President Donald Trump is reportedly furious after underlings at the State Department decided to fly 14 Diamond Princess passengers who tested positive for coronavirus back to the U.S. without telling him, and against his wishes.
Trump had been told last Saturday that only evacuees who didn't have symptoms or positive test results would be allowed on State Department charter planes back to the US from Japan, according to the Washington Post.
Officials on the ground realized late in the evacuation process, on the airport tarmac in Tokyo, that 14 of the roughly 350 evacuees had tested positive for the virus.
State Department underlings made the quick decision to allow the infected citizens onto the flights, but separated from the other passengers within portable bio-containment units that were already on the planes, in case passengers showed symptoms during the flight.
WNU Editor: The person who made the decision to override the President AND the CDC and allow individuals sick with the coronavirus to return to the US is Ian G. Brownlee, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary for Consular Affairs. How can someone who works in the U.S. State Department make a decision on a dire health issue even though he as no medical qualifications? When I worked as a diplomat and I did something like this, I would have been recalled immediately and fired. Why is this State Department employee still in his job?
The World Health Organization cautioned years ago that a mysterious "disease X" could spark an international contagion. The new coronavirus, with its ability to quickly morph from mild to deadly, is emerging as a contender.
From recent reports about the stealthy ways the so-called Covid-19 virus spreads and maims, a picture is emerging of an enigmatic pathogen whose effects are mainly mild, but which occasionally -- and unpredictably -- turns deadly in the second week. In less than three months, it's infected almost 78,000 people, mostly in China, and killed more than 2,300. Emerging hot spots in South Korea, Iran and Italy have stoked further alarm.
"Whether it will be contained or not, this outbreak is rapidly becoming the first true pandemic challenge that fits the disease X category," Marion Koopmans, head of viroscience at Erasmus University Medical Center in Rotterdam, and a member of the WHO's emergency committee, wrote Wednesday in the journal Cell.
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran on Sunday announced a 42% turnout in its parliamentary election, the lowest rate since the 1979 Islamic revolution, while its top leader said Tehran's enemies played up the new coronavirus threat to dissuade people from voting.
With Iran facing growing isolation and threats of conflict over its nuclear standoff with the United States, and increasing discontent at home, the turnout is seen as a referendum on the popularity of the Islamic republic's rulers.
"The turnout across the country was 42.57% ... In Tehran, it was around 25%. Across Iran, over 24 million people voted," Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli told a televised news conference. Turnout was 62% in the 2016 parliamentary vote and 66% of voters cast ballots in 2012.
The final results, announced by the Interior Ministry, showed big gains by hardline loyalists close to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who has the last say on all state matters.
WNU Editor: When you ban thousands from running, and only permit supporters of the clerics to run, why should those who oppose the government vote? I am surprised that they got 42% (if that number is to be believed).
A new video released on Friday showed the Turkish military and their allied militants attempting to hit a Russian aircraft with an anti-aircraft missile in the Idlib Governorate yesterday.
In the short video, the Turkish forces and their allies militants can be seen on the roof of a building, where they later attempted to shoot down the Russian aircraft in the skies of the Idlib Governorate.
As shown in the video, however, the anti-aircraft missile fails to hit the Russian aircraft that had just flown over their positions in what is presumably the eastern countryside of Idlib.
The Russian jet is seen deploying counter-measures seconds after the surface-to-air missile is fired.
Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh on Friday wagged his finger at Democrats and U.S. intelligence agencies, arguing they tricked former President George W. Bush into the Iraq War and are now trying to do the same to President Trump.
"Now Bush, as a Republican, probably not popular with the deep state, particularly after how he was elected," Limbaugh said on his radio show. "A lot of Democrats, a lot of deep staters think that [Al] Gore should have been president."
"I think there was as much resentment in the deep state — we just didn't call it that then — for George W. Bush as there is today for Donald Trump, and if not the same, it's close," he added.
WNU Editor: I have yet to see any evidence that the U.S. intelligence community deliberately misled President Trump and Congress to declare war and invade Iraq in 2003. But we do know that their intelligence and analysis was completely wrong, and no one within the intel community has ever paid a price for that terrible mistake.
IRAN was left humiliated by a low election turnout amid concerns over coronavirus, with the US claiming Tehran downplayed the outbreak in a bid to boost votes.
US election Democratic Party candidate Bernie Sanders is "phenomenal", according to George Galloway who warned Donald Trump of his upcoming battle with the socialist in November 2020.

MUMBAI: In a year when the US is going to the polls, India's IT services industry will see business grow as it has hired local engineers in small towns to meet requirements of clients whose businesses are getting disrupted by technology, analysts have said. US President Donald Trump, who is on a two-day trip to India starting Monday, is hoping to get re-elected in the November 3 elections, having emerged as a frontrunner. Trump came to the Oval Office on an anti-immigration plank. The US economy is growing and unemployment has fallen from when he took over the top job in 2017."The short- to medium-term future is bright for the leading Indian IT services majors," said Phil Fersht, CEO of US-based IT research and advisory HfS Research."Trump has long diverted attention away from Indian-heritage firms like TCS taking on deals with US firms, especially as firms like Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro and HCL have increased their investments in US delivery centres in recent years," he added.Investors have been concerned about risks to Indian IT firms' business outlook in case Trump gets re-elected and ramps up action to insource IT capability back to the US, with the intent of bringing more jobs into the country.Analysts, however, suggested that companies have done enough to allay his concerns.Indian IT firms have set up local delivery centres staffed with engineers in the US, and this strategy is in their favour, they pointed out.HCL Technologies said last week that it would open a centre in Hartford, Connecticut."We seem to have hit a stable situation with visas with the Indian firms having already adopted coping mechanisms," said Peter Bendor-Samuel, CEO of research and consulting firm Everest Group.Since Trump took over, US technology companies have been favoured over Indian firms for the coveted H-1B visas, or work permits for technology workers. Indian nationals continue to garner a big chunk of these work permits."It appears that the administration's attention is now on low-cost wage immigration with no further action indicated with (regard to) high-end wage immigration that the Indian firms rely on. It does not appear that there are other measures being contemplated beyond the restrictions on H-1B which have already gone into effect," he added. 74275862 According to recent media reports, Indian IT services companies have been paying higher wages than US-based companies to their US employees. This comes amid concerns over the US' ability to supplement its economy with enough STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) talent required in technology services.Indian IT services firms pay staff in the United States average wages that are higher than local companies, ET reported in September citing a study by IHS Markit.
Benchmark equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty cracked over 1 per cent in Monday's early trade on growing concerns over the global spread of the deadly coronavirus.The 30-share index was down 472.18 points, or 1.15 per cent, at 40,697.94 at around 9.30 am (IST), while the 50-share Nifty index was down 145.80 points, or 1.21 per cent, at 11,935.05 at around the same time.During the weekend, South Korea put the country on high alert while the number of infections jumped to over 700 and deaths rose to seven. In Italy, officials said a third person infected with the flu-like virus had died, while the number of cases jumped to above 150 from just three before Friday.Whereas in China, the virus has killed over 2,400 and reported 76,936 cases, and slammed the brakes on the world's second-largest economy.Factors behind market crash:Weak global cuesAsian peers including Hang Seng Nikkei and Shanghai plunged over 1.50 per cent as investors fret over the spread of the deadly coronavirus around the world.Safe haven buyingMoney is flowing from risky assets to safe haven assets like gold and dollar. In the international market, gold prices jumped over 2 per cent to their highest since February 2013, as a spike in coronavirus cases in several countries outside China heightened worries about a hit to global economic growth, prompting a flight to safe havens. Gold traded 0.80 per cent higher at Rs 43010 per 10 gram in the domestic market.GDP dataMarket participants will also be looking forward to the Gross Domestic data for the third quarter of current fiscal year (FY20) to be out later in the week. According to tank National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) India's economic growth for the current fiscal is likely to come in at 4.9%, a tad down from 5% estimated by the National Statistical Office (NSO).Weakness in metal countersShares of metal companies slipped up to 6 per cent as rising inventories in select commodities stoked fears of oversupply and investors are also worried over the rapid spread of COVID-19 in several countries outside China. Each component of the BSE Metal index was in the red with Hindalco falling the most at 5.66 per cent. Jindal Steel, Tata Steel, JSW Steel, Vedanta, SAIL, Nalco, Coal India, Hindustan Zinc and NMDC were down between 0.90 per cent and 5 per cent.Market at a glance:As many as 25 stocks in the Sensex pack traded in the red with Tata Steel falling the most, down 4.19 per cent. It was followed by ICICI Bank (down 2.41 per cent), HDFC (down 2.40 per cent), NTPC (down 2.29 per cent) and Axis Bank (down 2.08 per cent).On the other hand, IT majors including Infosys, Tech Mahindra and Tata Consultancy Services gained up to 1.25 per cent following weakness in the domestic currency.74276849 Barring the BSE IT (up 0.64 per cent) and TECk (up 0.37 per cent), other sectoral indices on BSE traded lower. The metal index plunged 3.48 per cent in early trade, while power (down 1.71 per cent), auto (down 1.57 per cent) and healthcare (down 1.30 per cent) stood among other top losers on the exchange.
By Dhirendra KumarFor many years now India's real estate has been under what is called a 'time correction'. It's been something like a decade. Time correction is a slightly fancy (actually, misleading) way of saying that prices are stagnant. At some point, this stagnation will end and real estate prices will head upwards.There are many reasons behind these years of stagnation. Obviously, the major one is that prices rose too fast and too far on the strength of investors who had more money than sense. For some years, these investors kept selling apartments to each other at higher and higher prices and finally the prices got too high for real buyers, those who would buy to actually live in the houses. So this stagnation is just the phase when the buying capacity of real users is slowly catching up with prices. In many parts of the country, another factor has been the tremendous distrust that buyers now have for real estate developers for reasons that are known to everyone.As time goes by, a greater and greater proportion of potential buyers will turn into actual buyers. Unlike other investments, real estate is unique in that one house is a necessity for every family and it's only with the second house onwards that the buyer becomes an investor with all the risks and the baggage that it brings.Unfortunately, a number of psychological and financial factors combine to make a house purchase a minefield for most of us. In our modern consumerist economy, sellers of every product try to make you buy the most expensive version of whatever they are selling. Real estate developers also try to sell everyone the dream house—grand and aspirational—the like of which the buyer has never lived in before.The problem is that buying a dream house is a very different activity from buying a dream watch or a dream vacation. Housing is qualitatively different because of the scale of the expense. If you splurge on other things you will climb out of the resulting financial hole in at most a few months. However, if you make an equivalent splash on a dream house then the financial damage could take years to repair, and during that time you and your family will have to face many hardships, some of them with permanent effect.There are many ifs and buts in buying a house and it's a topic that I often come back to simply because it's probably the most important financial decision in the lives of every one of my readers and so getting it right is absolutely critical. There are many mistakes that homebuyers can make but overstretching one's finances seems to be the most common. When one goes to look for a house, somehow the temptation to like something aspirational rather than something practical is just too strong for most of us. Human beings are such territorial animals that this seems to have roots deep in our psyche. There's a simple thumb rule, which is that the monthly repayment must not be more than a third of your stable family income. If, later in life, you become much richer than you are now, then you can always sell the current house and buy a flashier, more expensive one. However, at any point, the most damaging thing to do is to buy for your future, hoped-for, income rather than the current real one.Like in so many products, this phenomena is a byproduct of easy credit. In our parents' generation, housing loans were difficult to come by so people did not have the choice to stretch themselves. They bought whatever they could afford to pay for at the moment. The EMI culture is great for the consumer economy, but not so great when it lures you into that dream house that will become a financial nightmare.(The author is CEO, Value Research)
By P R SanjaiSix months after Mukesh Ambani laid out a road map to make Reliance Industries Ltd. free of net debt by early 2021, his plan has hit a few bumps thanks to the government.Modi government has petitioned a court to halt a proposed stake sale by Reliance Industries to Saudi Arabian Oil Co., threatening a key source of funds needed to pare liabilities. In addition, the conglomerate, which is into oil refining, telecommunications and retail, is also facing unfriendly tax proposals that could hit its businesses.Shares of the company have slid almost 8% since reaching a record high in mid-December. A spokesman for Reliance Industries declined to comment. Here are four challenges the company is facing:Aramco Deal DelayAmbani told shareholders in August that Reliance Industries would sell 20% of its oil and petrochemicals unit to Aramco in a deal valuing the business at $75 billion. The sale is crucial to reduce the group's net debt, which was about $22 billion at the end of March 2019.But in December, the government requested a court to stop the proposed sale to help ensure the Mumbai-based company has enough assets to pay claims in an arbitration case related to profit sharing and royalty payments between Reliance Industries and its partners. Reliance Industries says the government's plea isn't tenable legally and should be dismissed.Reliance Industries expected to complete the Aramco transaction by March 2020 subject to due diligence and regulatory approvals, but said in January that although the talks with Aramco were making "good progress", a definitive pact is still a few months away. The talks have gathered pace in recent weeks, according to people familiar with the matter.Income-Tax InvestigationIndia's tax department has widened a probe to find whether some Ambani family members have evaded tax, according to people familiar with the matter. The conglomerate has denied that they have dodged taxes.The investigation is based on information the government received from French authorities in 2011 about 700 Indians who had accounts at HSBC Holdings Plc's Swiss branches, the people said, asking not to be named citing rules.While tax probes are common in India and are, in many cases, driven by politics, the country's richest family becoming the subject of an investigation is unprecedented and has surprised many. Ambani is Asia's richest person, with a net worth of about $58 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.A spokesperson for the tax department didn't respond to an email seeking comment. The Economic Times had earlier reported the investigation in December.Protective Tariff ScrappedReliance Industries, the country's largest producer of a chemical used to make polyester yarn, will face more competition in the segment after a proposed cut in import duties for purified terephthalic acid. In her Feb. 1 budget speech, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said the government is getting rid of the duty to help ensure the easy availability of the commodity at competitive prices.Tax on Investment TrustsThe government has also proposed a change to dividend distribution tax, a step that could slow efforts of companies, including Reliance Industries, to raise funds through selling units in investment trusts.The conglomerate has been trying to raise funds and pare debt by selling a stake in trusts that hold its telecom towers and optical-fiber network.The change in rules will curtail returns for investors in the trusts by forcing them to add dividends to their total income and paying tax. The impact of higher tax for unit holders may make equity raising challenging, according to Shubham Jain, a senior vice president at ICRA Ltd., the local unit of Moody's Investors Service.— With assistance from Vrishti Beniwal, Debjit Chakraborty and Upmanyu Trivedi.

Mumbai: Veteran banker and chairman of Bajaj Finserv Nanoo Pamnani passed away on Saturday. He was 74. Pamnani was appointed chairman last year, after Rahul Bajaj (80) resigned to take over as chairman emeritus.In 2008, when Sanjiv Bajaj was chosen to head the financial services business, he got Pamnani as a crucial aide from within the family. The brother-in-law of Rahul Bajaj's wife had just retired from Citibank as its India head.Pamnani took over as vice-chairman at Bajaj Finserv in 2008 just after Bajaj Auto was de-merged under which its manufacturing unit was transferred to Bajaj Auto and its strategic business undertaking consisting of wind farm business and in-house auto financing business has been vested with Finserv.Since then, the trio of Pamnani, Sanjiv Bajaj and Rajeev Jain – the CEO of Bajaj Finserv – have been instrumental in the meteoric rise of the business.Bajaj Finance, the holding company of Bajaj Finserv, was recently awarded by the Economic Times Awards for Corporate Excellence under the category "Company of the year." Under Pamnani's watch Bajaj Finance has grown assets under management by 41%, profit by 43% while margins and asset quality remained stable, despite tough liquidity situation since IL&FS crisis broke out in September 2018. This is when NBFC sector has seen disbursement contract by 30%. Bajaj Finance is the best in the retail space with customer franchise of 37 million, 97,000 point of sales, balance sheet of 1.25 lakh crore. Pamnani also held the position of chairman of Bajaj Housing Finance and was on the board of 13 other companies. He is on the boards of many leading companies, including Bajaj Auto, Bajaj Finance, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company and Bajaj Allianz Life Insurance Company.But, Pamnani was just wasn't defined by his role in Bajaj Finserv. At 37, he was one of Citibank's youngest CEOs and is also credited to turning around the foreign lenders private banking business in the Asia Pacific region. He retired as director for Citibank. In his career spanning over 40-years, he held many key positions and handled a range of senior assignments both in India and abroad.
By G ChokkalingamFounder & CIO Equinomics Research & AdvisoryI am holding 400 Finotex Chemicals at Rs 86 since January 2018. Will I be able to recover my cost? -B ARORAThe entire textile sector and also businesses associated with this sector have seen severe contraction in the valuation multiples in the stock markets and it is very difficult to anticipate any significant recovery in the valuations in the short- to medium-terms considering the current stagnation in the textile business. The stock also trades at a fair valuation of around 10 PE on the current year's expected earnings. Therefore, you may exit the stock if it moves close to even Rs 30 in the next six months or so.I am holding 16,000 shares of Karur Vysya Bank at Rs 80. Should I hold or not? -PRAKASH SHARMAPlease hold Karur Vysya Bank, which has survived successfully over 100 years and trades at a market cap of mere Rs 3,800 crore while its business size is more than Rs 1 lakh crore. After falling more than 60% from its two-year high, the stock trades at just around one time adjusted book value.I bought shares of GE Shipping at Rs 270 and IDFC Bank at Rs 40. Should I hold it or sell? -DEBASISH DASThough immediate prospects for the industry are quite bleak as Dry Baltic Index is at a record low level and corona virus has complicated further short-term prospects for the shipping industry, you may hold GE Shipping as it has got a strong balance sheet. It is the best shipping firm to survive in the domestic industry and also the stock trades just about 60% of its book value. Considering the losses posted by the bank in the latest quarter and lack of significant yoy growth in its loan book, you may hold IDFC First Bank with a target price of only around Rs 48 which is about 1.5 times its expected one-year forward adjusted book value. Renewed competition from both existing and new banking players, almost peak out of banking penetration in the urban centres and the huge equity capital base of the bank will act as a drag on the stock for any upside beyond Rs 50 in the shortto medium-terms.I am holding 300 shares of GSK (Pharma) at Rs 1,275. Should I buy more or hold or sell? -NAVEEN JAINI consider the recent 23% correction in the stock price is a good opportunity to add this technologically superior pharmaceutical MNC with a target price of over Rs 1,550 (which is around 44x FY21E earnings).I am having 4,000 shares of CG Power since July 19. What should I do now? -A K SHUKLALack of promoters holding (100% stake held by the public), operating losses in the latest quarter, reopening of its accounts for the past fiveyear period for scrutiny and poor responses for the company's recovery notices for over Rs 1,300 crore do not give any comfort on the stock. If you are willing to take very high risk, hold it, otherwise it is better to offload even at the current price.Please send your queries on Stocks to et.stocks@timesgroup.com; Mutual Funds to et.mfs@timesgroup.com; Tax to et.tax@timesgroup.com; Insurance to et.insurance@timesgroup.com; Realty to et.realty@timesgroup.com.
Even without a single confirmed case, sub-Saharan Africa may be the region hardest hit outside of Asia by the spread of the coronavirus. The outbreak has shut down entire swathes of the Chinese economy, threatening world economic growth and curbing appetite for oil and metals that are the lifeline of many African nations. A slowdown in the No 2 economy and a 5% drop in oil prices over one year could mean $4 billion in lost export revenue for sub-Saharan Africa, or the equivalent to 0.3% of its gross domestic product — more than any other continent outside of Asia, according to a study by the Overseas Development Institute. "Many developing countries are increasingly dependent on China for trade, both for imports and exports," Dirk Willem te Velde, principal research fellow at the institute, said. The International Monetary Fund slashed its economic growth projection for Africa's top oil exporter, Nigeria, to 2% from 2.5% because of a decline in oil prices. Weaker demand from China puts other resource-dependent economies such as Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo and Zambia at risk. African central bankers are starting to sound alarm bells.
BENGALURU: The government has asked social media platforms TikTok, YouTube, Twitter, Facebook and ShareChat to take down videos of what is known as the 'skull-breaker' challenge, which has resulted in serious head injuries among students across the globe. The social media challenge, popularised first on short video app TikTok, starts with three people standing alongside each other, seemingly ready to jump into the air all at once. However, the two people on either side try to kick the legs out from under the one in the middle, making him or her fall.Doctors have warned that the free fall can result in head injuries, fractures to the joints, and even break the unsuspecting person's skull.In an advisory last week, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) said it expects social media platforms to remove such videos and warn users to avoid such acts."This being a dangerous game, severely impacting and harming minors and also being a public safety issue, it is expected that social media platforms expeditiously remove videos performing or attempting the skull-breaker challenge or influencing a child for skull breaker challenge or similar content as and when it comes to your notice," MeitY said.It also asked social media platforms to publish an online awareness campaign to help users avoid such dangerous actions.ET has a copy of the advisory.The challenge originated on TikTok but quickly spread to other platforms, where users shared videos from the Chinese short video platform. The hashtag #skullbreakerchallenge received a staggering 4.8 million views on the popular platform.The advisory pointed at Intermediary Guidelines of the Information Technology Act, which requires platforms to observe due diligence and inform its users to not host, display and update information that is harmful and objectionable, and affects minors.TikTok told ET that it has taken down the videos as it has violated the company's community guidelines.

Rallyhood says it’s “private and secure.” But for some time, it wasn’t.
The social network designed to help groups communicate and coordinate left one of its cloud storage buckets containing user data open and exposed. The bucket, hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), was not protected with a password, allowing anyone who knew the easily-guessable web address access to a decade’s worth of user files.
Rallyhood boasts users from Girl Scout and Boy Scout troops, and Komen, Habitat for Humanities, and YMCA factions. The company also hosts thousands of smaller groups, like local bands, sports teams, art clubs, and organizing committees. Many flocked to the site after Rallyhood said it would help migrate users from Yahoo Groups, after Verizon (which also owns TechCrunch) said it would shut down the discussion forum site last year.
The bucket contained group data as far back to 2011 up to and including last month. In total, the bucket contained 4.1 terabytes of uploaded files, representing millions of users’ files.
Some of the files we reviewed contained sensitive data, like shared password lists and contracts or other permission slips and agreements. The documents also included non-disclosure agreements and other files that were not intended to be public.
Where we could identify contact information of users whose information was exposed, TechCrunch reached out to verify the authenticity of the data.
A security researcher who goes by the handle Timeless found the exposed bucket and informed TechCrunch, so that the bucket and its files could be secured.
When reached, Rallyhood chief technology officer Chris Alderson initially claimed that the bucket was for “testing” and that all user data was stored “in a highly secured bucket,” but later admitted that during a migration project, “there was a brief period when permissions were mistakenly left open.”
It’s not known if Rallyhood plans to warn its users and customers of the security lapse. At the time of writing, Rallyhood has made no statement on its website or any of its social media profiles of the incident.
We are now onto the fifth short story of nine in Ted Chiang's collection Exhalations. This one is a very short one at only a couple of pages, but despite its brief length, it explores some of the most fundamental issues facing us as a society today: technology, children, love, and the meaning of connection as all these elements fuse together. It was not my favorite story so far, but it is certainly interesting, especially in light of the previous short story Lifecycle of Software Objects (which in case you missed it, you can read more analysis here).

Reading Dacey’s Patent Automatic Nanny
Chiang has constructed a creative framing device here: we observe a peculiar machine — Dacey’s Patent Automatic Nanny — in historical retrospective within the context of an exhibit entitled "Little Defective Adults — Attitudes Toward Children 1700 to 1950." The entire story is essentially the museum placard next to the mechanical artifact describing its background and how it was designed to raise an infant without the need for a human nanny.
Much like in the last short story we read in the collection, the question of human connection mediated by technology is at the core of the story. Can we raise a child purely through a piece of technology? Chiang seems to take a definitive stand against such a notion, showing that the child's psychosocial development is hindered by its nearly exclusive interaction with a non-human being. The author even plays a bit of a legerdemain right from the beginning: the exhibit's title of "Little Defective Adults" could be applied to robots just as much as Victorian-era children.
But like the digients in the last story, we later learn that the child at the center of the story actually has fine interaction skills, but with robots instead of humans. As the automatic nanny is removed from service after two years of raising Lionel's child Edmund, the child experiences stunted development. His development is rekindled once he has access to robots and other electronics again. Per the story:
Within a few weeks, it was apparent that Edmund was not cognitively delayed in the manner previously believed; the staff had merely lacked the appropriate means of communicating with him.
And so we are left with a continuation of the major questions from the last story: should human-robot interactions be considered equal to human-to-human interactions? If a child is more comfortable interacting with an electronic device instead of a human, is that just a sign that we privilege and value certain interactions over others?
It's a question that is expounded on much more comprehensively in Lifecycle of Software Objects, but remains just as interesting a question here in our increasingly digital world. We are about to launch a multi-part series on virtual worlds tomorrow (stay tuned), but ultimately all of these questions boil down to a fundamental one: what is real?
Outside of that theme (which veers into philosophy and isn't deeply meditated on in the couple of pages of story here), I think there are two other threads worth pulling on. The first has to do with the variability of human experience. This whole experiment begins when Lionel's own father Reginald decides to replace a human nanny with a machine to provide a more consistent environment for his child ("It will not expose your child to disreputable influences"). Indeed, he doesn't just want that consistency for his own child, but wants to clone the automatic nanny for all children.
Yet while Reginald feels that human nannies are defective, it is really the automatic nannies themselves that are impoverished. They lack the spontaneity and complexity of human beings, preventing the children in their care from handling a wider variety of situations and instead pushing them inward. Indeed, women (aka mothers) intuitively understand this dynamic: "The inventor [Reginald] framed his proposal as an invitation to partake in a grand scientific undertaking and was baffled that none of the women he courted found this an appealing prospect."
And yet, human contact is precisely what drives the continued pursuit of these robots in the first place. The nanny's original inventor, Reginald, uses it on his own son Lionel, who wants to prove their utility to the world by using it on his son Edmund. So we see a multi-generational pursuit of this dream, but that pursuit is driven by the human passion to defend the work of one's parents and the legacy they leave behind. Human-to-human contact then becomes the key driver to prove human-to-robot contact is just as effective, debunking the very claim under consideration in the process. It's a beautiful bit of irony.
The other thread to untangle a bit is the scientific method and how far astray it can lead us. Reginald's creation and marketing of the device is undermined by the fact that he never really performed any real experiments on his own child to evaluate the quality of different nannies. He just makes assumptions, based on his Victorian values, and pursues them relentlessly before heading back to pure mathematics, a field where he can be at ease with his models of the universe.
In the middle of this little pattern is a common lesson: sometimes the things that are least measurable have the greatest influence on our lives. This story — like the exhibit it's a depiction of — is a warning, about hubris and failing to listen and love.
The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling
Some questions to think about as you read the next short story, The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling:
What is truth? What is honesty?
How do the two frames — an historical one about the Tiv and the "contemporary" one about the remem technology — work together to interrogate what truth means?
How important is it to get the details right about a memory? Does a compelling narrative override the need for accuracy?
Do different cultures have different approaches to storytelling, narration, and universal truth?
Does constantly recording photos and videos change our perception of the world? Are they adequate representations of the truth?
How important is it to forget? Memories are supposed to fade with time — is this fundamentally conducive to humanity or harmful?
Will we fact check each other's behavior more and more in the future? What consequences would such a future bring?
As streaming services like HBO Max, Netflix and Disney+ plus vie for subscription dollars and YouTube, Xumo, Kanopy, Tubi TV, Vudu and Pluto TV try to take more ad revenue from traditional television, entertainment for kids — and the tech tools that manage their screen time — are becoming more important.
On the streaming side, Netflix has been marshaling its resources for months, poaching talent like Chris Nee, creator of the “Doc Mcstuffins” Disney Channel series, Naketha Mattocks (“The Descendants”) and Kenny Ortega (“High School Musical”) — to join its stable of creative talent. HBO Max locked in several years of “Sesame Street” shows, which will be available when its service launches in May. Finally, there’s Disney+, which has racked up 28.6 million subscribers for its service as of February 3.
Recognizing the threat, ad-supported platforms are coming up with their own responses. Some of these platforms also stream the same programs that are available on the subscription services, but as exclusivity becomes more important, audiences and entertainers can expect platforms like YouTube, Facebook and others to spend more heavily on original shows that attract younger audiences.
Hello and welcome back to TechCrunch's China Roundup, a digest of recent events shaping the Chinese tech landscape and what they mean to people in the rest of the world. The coronavirus outbreak is posing a devastating impact on people’s life and the economy in China, but there’s a silver lining that the epidemic might have benefited a few players in the technology industry as the population remains indoors.
The SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) virus that infected thousands and killed hundreds in China back in 2002 is widely seen as a catalyst for the country’s fledgling e-commerce industry. People staying indoors to avoid contracting the deadly virus flocked to shop online. Alibaba’s Taobao, an eBay-like digital marketplace, notably launched at the height of the SARS outbreak.
“Although it sickened thousands and killed almost eight hundred people, the outbreak had a curiously beneficial impact on the Chinese internet sector, including Alibaba,” wrote China internet expert Duncan Clark in his biography of Alibaba founder Jack Ma.
Nearly two decades later, as the coronavirus outbreak sends dozens of Chinese cities into various kinds of lockdown, tech giants are again responding to fill consumers’ needs amid the crisis. Others are providing digital tools to help citizens and the government battle the disease.
According to data from analytics company QuestMobile, Chinese people’s average time spent on the mobile internet climbed from 6.1 hours a day in January, to 6.8 hours a day during Chinese New Year, to an astounding daily usage of 7.3 hours post-holiday as businesses delay returning to the office or resuming on-premises operation.
Here’s a look at what some of them are offering.
Remote work apps: Boom and crash
China’s enterprise software industry has been slow to take off in comparison to the West, though it’s slowly picking up steam as the country’s consumer-facing industry becomes crowded, prompting investors and tech behemoths to bet on more business-oriented services. Now remote work apps are witnessing a boom as millions are confined to working from home.
The online education sector is experiencing a similar uptick as schools nationwide are suspended, according to data from research firm Sensor Tower.
The main players trying to tap the nationwide work-from-home practice are Alibaba’s DingTalk, Tencent’s WeChat Work, and ByteDance’s Lark. App rankings compiled by Sensor Tower show that all three apps experienced significant year-over-year growth in downloads from January 22 through February 20, though their user bases vary greatly:
Dingtalk became China’s most-downloaded free iOS app mid the coronavirus outbreak. Data: Sensor Tower
WeChat’s enterprise version WeChat Work, born in 2016, trailed closely behind DingTalk, rising to second place among free iOS apps in the same period. In December, WeChat Work announced it had logged more than 2.5 million enterprises and some 60 million active users.
Lark, launched only in 2019, pales in comparison to its two predecessors, hovering around the 300th mark in early February. Nonetheless, Lark appears to be making a big user acquisition push recently by placing ads on its sibling Douyin, TikTok’s China version. Douyin has emerged as a marketing darling as advertisers rush to embrace vertical, short videos, and Lark can certainly benefit from exposure on the red-hot app. WeChat, despite its colossal one-billion monthly user base, has remained restrained in ad monetization.
The question is whether the sudden boom will develop into a sustainable growth trend for these apps. System crashes on DingTalk and WeChat Work due to user influx at the start of the remote working regime might suggest that neither had projected such traffic volumes on its growth curve.After all, most businesses are expected to resume in-person communication when safety conditions are ensured.
Indeed, the work-from-home model has been widely ill-received by employees who are frustrated with intrusive company rules like “keep your webcam on while working from home.” In a more unexpected turn, DingTalk suffered from a backlash after it added tools to host online classes for students. Resentful that the app had spoiled their extended holiday, young users flooded to give DingTalk one-star ratings.
Face mask algorithms
To curb the spread of the virus, local governments in China have mandated people to wear masks in public, posing a potential challenge to the country’s omnipresent facial recognition-powered identity checks. But the technologies necessary to handle the situation is already in place, such as iris scanning.
Travelers whom I spoke to reported they are now able to pass through train station security without taking their masks off — which could sound an alarm to privacy-conscious individuals. But it’s unclear whether the change is due to more advanced forms of biometrics technologies or that the authority had temporarily loosened security on low-risk individuals. People still have to scan their ID cards before getting their biometrics verified and travelers whose identities have been flagged could trigger stricter screening, people familiar with China’s AI industry told me. They added that the latter case is more probable, for it will take time to implement a nationwide infrastructure upgrade.
Digital passes
Local governments have also introduced tools for people to attain digital records of their travel history, which has become some sort of permit to go about their daily life, be it returning to work, their apartment, or even the city they live in.
One example is web-based app Close Contact Detector developed by a state-owned company. Users can obtain a record of their travel history by opting to submit their names, ID numbers and phone numbers. So far the app has drawn more scorn than praise for containing the virus, bringing people to the questions: If the government already has a grip on people’s travel history, why didn’t it react earlier to restrict the free flow of travelers? Why did it only introduce the service a few weeks after the first big outbreak?
All of this could point to the challenge of collecting and consolidating citizen data across departments and regions, despite China’s ongoing efforts to encourage the use of social credits nationwide through the use of real-name registration and big data. The health crisis appears to have accelerated this data-unification process. The pressing question is how the government will utilize these data following the outbreak.
Eg migrants who'd been in Hubei slipped through the cracks while 10s of thousands Hubeiren outside the province are left stranded (what's all that use of SIM card location tracking +face scans?) and SH gov't late to disclose affected neighborhoods (data supposedly easy to attain)
Many of these digital permits are powered by WeChat on the merit of the messenger’s ubiquity and broad-ranging functions in Chinese society. In Shenzhen, where WeChat’s parent Tencent is headquartered, cars can only enter the city after the drivers use WeChat to scan a QR code hung by a drone — for the obvious reason to avoid contact with checkpoint officers — and digitally file their travel history.

Citizen reporting
As the fast-spreading virus fuels rumors, individual citizens are playing an active role in combating misinformation. Dxy.cn (丁香园), an online community targeting medical professionals, responded swiftly with a fact-checking feature dedicated to the coronavirus and a national map tracking the development of the outbreak in real time.
Yikuang, the brainchild of several independent developers and app review site Sspai.com, is one of the first WeChat-based services to map neighborhoods with confirmed cases using official data from local governments.
Young citizens have also joined in. A Shanghai-based high school senior and his peers launched a blog that provides Chinese summaries of coronavirus coverage from news organizations around the world.
Dining and entertainment
The nationwide lockdown is almost guaranteed a boon to online entertainment. The short video sector recorded 569 million daily active users in the post-holiday period, far exceeding 492 million on a regular daily basis, shows QuestMobile. Video streaming sites are gathering musicians to virtually perform and movies are premiering online as the virus forces live venues and cinemas to shut.
Many Chinese cities have gone as far as to ban eating in restaurants during the epidemic, putting the burden on food and grocery delivery services. To ensure safety, delivery companies have devised ways to avoid human interaction, such as Meituan Dianping’s “contactless” solution, which is in effect a self-served cabinet to temporarily store food orders awaiting customer pickup.

Understanding the opportunities available in the space industry — especially for early-stage companies and new founders — isn’t easy.
The pool of people who have deep aerospace technical expertise isn’t huge, and like any community that requires a high degree of specialist knowledge, it’s a tightly-knit field that relies on social connections. But space is increasingly opening up, and we’ve already reached a point where the most valuable new entrants might come from industries that aren’t specifically aerospace or aerospace-adjacent.
In fact, we could be reaching a stage where the parts of the space industry requiring actual rocket scientists are more or less saturated, while the real boon is set to come from crossover talent that develops new ways to leverage innovations in other areas on space-based operating platforms.
“We have enough low-Earth launch vehicles, we have enough rockets,” Bessemer VP Tess Hatch told me in an interview at the FAA’s Commercial Space Transportation Conference last month. “In 2020, we have even more coming online and a lot of the ‘fantasy’ ones [an industry term used to describe spacecraft that have been conceived and designed but not yet flown] are planning to launch, and I think maybe one of them will come to fruition.”
Hatch says she still sees much of the demand side of the industry cluster around existing and proven suppliers, even if new entrants, including Astra and Firefly, actually begin flying their rockets this year, as both have been planning. Companies like Rocket Lab (in which her company has a stake) will increase their volume and cadence and benefit from having a proven track record, taking up a lot of the growth in launch vehicle demand. “I don’t think there’s room for any more rockets in the industry,” she said.
Instead, Hatch is looking to payload variety and innovation as the next big thing in space tech. Satellites are becoming increasingly commoditized, and companies like Rocket Lab are looking to take this further by providing a satellite platform (Proton) as part of its launch offering. There’s still immaturity in the small-satellite supply chain, which is what led small-satellite operator Kepler to build its own, but the bigger opportunity isn’t in building satellites — it’s in equipping them with new, improved and radically redesigned sensors to gather new kinds of data and provide new kinds of services.
