We go to Moscow for an update on the pandemic in Russia, where the coronavirus is spreading rapidly, with at least 10,000 new cases a day and the second-highest infection rate in the world, and more than 100 medical workers have died fighting the virus, and many have reported lack of personal protective equipment. Meanwhile, three Russian healthcare workers mysteriously fell from hospital windows over the past two weeks. Two died, and the one who is hospitalized had posted a video online to note the lack of medical equipment and said he had to keep working despite testing positive. We speak with Joshua Yaffa, Moscow correspondent for The New Yorker magazine.

As the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases worldwide approaches 4 million and the pandemic could be with us for months or years, we look at who can access drugs like remdesivir, being developed by pharmaceutical giant Gilead, which has the patent for the drug and is poised to make massive profits. We look at how much drugs like remdesivir will cost, and who can access them, with writer Achal Prabhala, coordinator of the AccessIBSA project, which campaigns for access to medicines in India, Brazil and South Africa.

As more than 40 states begin to reopen, President Trump is downplaying the need for mass COVID-19 testing, even as he himself is now being tested every day for the virus. We speak with emergency physician Dr. Leana Wen, who says, "Widespread testing is so critical. … Why shouldn't this testing be available to all Americans?"

Cathy Morrow Roberson, Founder & Head Analyst for Logistics Trends & Insights LLC – a boutique market research firm that specializes in global supply chains – recently shared her observations on the current state of the global and domestic Third-Party Logistics (3PL) industry in this exclusive interview.

Peter Hagoort, an eminent cognitive neuroscientist, voiced […]

Section 115BBE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS SECTION OF THE IT ACT.

My story belongs to Sec 115BBE one of the most dangerous section of the Income Tax Act 1961, and my story belongs to Appeal to Income Tax Applleate Tribunal against an order of CIT appeals.

Actually one of My case lying with an ITO regarding Cash on Demonitisation.
QUESTION NO 1) Should i proceed to ITAT against an order of CIT APPEALS for vacate of any demand arising under section 115BBE or not for a cash on demonitisation case and why ?
QUESTION NO 2) Should i move to CIT APPEALS AGAINST AN ORDER OF ITO for charging of penalty with tax under sec 115BBE during a Cash on demonitisarion case ? or Should i pay the whole amount of tax with fine which an ITO demands with penalty as tax on regular assessment and Why ?
QUESTION NO 3) What is the latest update of Sec 115BBE ?
QUESTION NO 4) Is there any probability of Special Audit during a cash on demonitisation case lying with CIT APPEALS and why ?
QUESTION NO 5 ) Is there any probability of relief of tax, if i move to CIT APPEALS OR EVEN to ITAT for vacate any demand arising out of Cash on demonitisation case Sec 115BBE ?

Disclaimer :- Only A qualified CA & CMA can answer to this query ( based on his/her practical approach ).

CAN THE ASSESSEE OPT FOR VSV SCHEME ? AND IF YES, THEN GUIDE US THE PROCEDURE FOR THAT.

Äratuskell oli mul sellel hommikul pandud kella viieks, kuid selle abi ma ei vajanudki. Kerge ärevus ja põnevus eelseisva hommiku osas oli teinud oma töö – ärkasin kellata. Mul oli plaan minna varahommikusele metsatiirule ja sellel hommikul lootsin kohata just karu! Kuidagi tunne oli selline, et vot nüüd on küll õige aeg! Eks oma osa […]

Laupäeval tegin perega väikese tiiru looduses. See kujunes 100km pikkuseks. Ühte järjekordsesse oma paika jõudes mainisin, et siin võib kohata nirki. Haarasin kaasa vaid binokli, jättes oma “rasketehnika” taaskord autosse. Plaan oli teha seal vaid väike, kümne minutiline jalutuskäik, kus kogu aja oleks auto nähtaval olnud. Muidu ma niimoodi tehnikat ikka autosse ei jäta. Viiekesi […]

Millions of us are in confinement around the world – all searching for activities to occupy us and cheer us up. Every day since mid-March, French DJ and producer Bob Sinclar has been gathering hundreds of thousands of people for one hour of uplifting funk via Facebook and Instagram. He spoke to Eve Jackson about keeping the groove going in confinement.

French President Emmanuel Macron said he was looking into more financial aid for the country's arts and culture sectors that have been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. 

This week we took a look at Iran's handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, the troubles that lie ahead for prisoners on early release due to the coronavirus and China's "mask diplomacy". We also investigate how Covid-19 is affecting the French cinema industry and the role of US forces in the Sahel region's war on terror.
