Prime Minister Boris Johnson said slowing the spread of the coronavirus was now his government’s top priority, shortly after news on Friday that the first Briton had died of the disease after contracting it on a cruise ship moored in Japan. The country was right to be concerned about the virus, he said, as the number of people infected in Britain rose to 20. “The issue of coronavirus is something that is now the government’s top priority,” he told broadcasters in his first statement on the disease, adding that he would be chairing a meeting of ministers and officials on…

Just days after the country’s first coronavirus case was confirmed, scientists in Brazil have sequenced the virus’ DNA to better understand and tackle the feared epidemic. The investigative work was carried out in a laboratory at the Medicine Faculty in Sao Paulo University in collaboration with Oxford University. Scientists say previous work on zika meant investigators were able to move quickly. With a DNA map of coronavirus, scientists hope that they can better monitor the virus and hopefully speed up the availability of a vaccine. At the weekend, Brazil’s Health Ministry confirmed the country’s second case of the fast-spreading new…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed ‘sweet victory’ as he led in a cliffhanger election according to exit polls, yet was still short of a governing majority in a third national ballot in less than a year. On the basis of initial projections by Israel’s three main television channels, Netanyahu, head of the right-wing Likud party, claimed victory in Monday’s vote over his main challenger, former armed forces chief Benny Gantz of the centrist Blue and White. Updated exit polls, however, showed Netanyahu two seats short of a majority in Israel’s parliament, a gap signalling possible deadlock, with actual results…

Life is spiritual. There’re things you just can’t ignore or take lightly, including seemingly “little pains”; deal with them with God’s Word and the Name of Jesus. Some of the eventually serious problems many have suffered came from something they thought was minor. They never used what Jesus gave us: His Name, His authority; consequently, their condition became debilitating and deadly. Be discerning and bold to cast out devils, in whatever form they may come. Before you start thinking about “medicine” due to pain or a symptom you noticed in your body, rebuke the devil, who is more likely to…

Amazon (AMZN.O) will on Thursday seek to overturn an EU order to repay about 250 million euros ($277 million) in back taxes to Luxembourg at Europe’s second-highest court, one of a series of high-profile cases marking the bloc’s crackdown on unfair tax deals. The European Commission said in its 2017 ruling that the tax deal, which covered the period from May 2006 to June 2014, meant almost three-quarters of Amazon’s business went untaxed. The EU competition watchdog said the Grand Duchy allowed the U.S. online retailer to shift a significant portion of its profits from a subsidiary to a holding…

Hyundai Motor (005380.KS) reported its lowest monthly global sales in a decade in February as the coronavirus outbreak hurt demand, in what is the first major indicator of damage to the broader auto sector from the epidemic. It turned in a preliminary sales figure of 275,044 vehicles for the month, 13% below 315,820 vehicles sold a year earlier. Hyundai last reported sales lower than this in February 2010.

Australia’s deportation policy is so “corrosive” that it has soured its bilateral relationship with New Zealand, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said, a rare bust-up between the two historic allies.  Australia’s conservative government has in recent months moved to deport thousands of foreigners convicted of crimes as part of an immigration crack-down that can also strip dual-nationals of their Australian citizenship. The move has seen hundreds of people deported from Australia to New Zealand, a country that some left when just children and have few ties to. The two countries have fought in numerous conflicts alongside each other, and squabbles between…

Spanish startup company Prometeo tested their AI-based monitoring device on firefighters for the first time in February, during a prescribed burn in a forest near Olivella in Spain’s northwestern region of Catalonia. The technology uses artificial intelligence and the internet of things to help keep firefighters safe using a device the size of a smartphone strapped to their uniforms. Ten firefighters volunteered to test the device during a controlled wildfire. The device has sensors that monitor temperature, smoke concentration and humidity in real-time, and can send colour-coded alerts via a Cloud platform to command centres. That information can then be…
