World markets dive as Trump sparks trade, North Korea worries

Global stocks sank Wednesday after US President Donald Trump said he was not satisfied with talks that are aimed at averting a trade war with China. Equities were also dented by poor eurozone economic data, and as Trump cast doubt on a planned summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. “Trump (is) continuing to drive uncertainty over global trade,” said analyst Joshua Mahony at trading firm IG. “European markets are following their Asian counterparts lower, as a pessimistic tone from Trump is compounded by downbeat economic data,” he added. Markets had surged Monday after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He said they had agreed to pull back from imposing threatened tariffs on billions of dollars of goods, and continue talks on a variety of trade issues. However, Trump has declared that he was “not satisfied” with the status of the talks, fuelling worries that the world’s top two economies could still slug out an economically pain

Man wakes up after 12 years in coma and Unknow state"tells what he sees".

When Martin Pistorius was 12-years-old, he came down with a strange illness that caused him to lose his ability to walk, talk and make eye contact, NPR.org reported. Pistorius, of Harlow, England, appeared to be in a coma-like state, and docrypotococcal meningitis. They told Rodney and Joan Pistorius, his parents, who were living in South Africa at the time, to take their son home because his time left was limited. ctors scratched their heads over his condition. Their best bet: But, his mother said, “Martin just kept going, just kept going.” Indeed, Pistorius kept going— insofar as his mind stayed active— for 12 years. Although his parents thought he’d been akin to a vegetable physically and mentally, Pistorius, now 39, says he regained consciousness about two years after the condition assaulted his body.

Philippines’ Duterte now targets fake drugs.

President Rodrigo Duterte of Philippines has opened a new front in his war on drugs, targeting fake over-the-counter medicines to try to stem the spread of counterfeit paracetamol, his lawyer said on Wednesday. Salvador Panelo, chief presidential legal counsel, said Duterte had ordered police to arrest those responsible. “They do not only undermine or weaken the national economy by hitting a large-scale industry, they also threaten national security by endangering the health of a vast majority of the people,” Panelo said in a statement. According to the WHO, in January an estimated one in 10 medical products in low- and middle-income countries is substandard or falsified. WHO said the fake drugs business accounts for about 10 per cent of the annual 300 billion dollars global industry. Panelo said poor-quality drugs could also contribute to antibiotic resistance, threatening to undermine life-saving medicines in future. More than 4,000 Filipinos have been killed b

U.S. misinformed about situation in Zimbabwe, says Mnangagwa.

President Emmerson Mnangagwa said the U. S. government made its recent decision to extend sanctions against Zimbabwe on the basis of misinformation by local opposition parties which are afraid of losing the forthcoming general elections. The U.S. on March 5 extended its decades long sanctions against Zimbabwe, imposed in protest over Harare’s land reforms in which white-owned farms were taken over to resettle landless peasants, and perceived misgoverning and human rights violations. Mnangagwa told magazine Africa Report on the sidelines of the Africa CEO Forum held on Monday in Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire, that the U.S. senators Jeff Flake and Chris Coons, who proposed the amendments to the sanctions law, would establish the truth on their proposed visit to Zimbabwe soon. “When you look at what they are saying, you realise they are not informed. They are just reading the text of the opposition who are afraid of these elections and they are making those demands,” state news

Staunch Suu Kyi ally elected Myanmar president.

Myanmar’s parliament on Wednesday elected a staunch ally of Aung San Suu Kyi as the country’s new president, allowing her to maintain a tight grip on top-level decision-making. Win Myint, 66, had been tipped for the role after former president Htin Kyaw suddenly stepped down last week, citing the need for rest. Suu Kyi is barred by the military-drafted constitution from the presidency because she was married to a foreigner and has two sons who are British citizens. She has instead served as state counsellor since her party’s landslide 2015 election victory, declaring she would work “above” the president. But her position has no official constitutional role. That makes it crucial for her to have a compliant friend as president as she manages an often fraught power-sharing arrangement with the still powerful military, which ruled the country for almost half a century. “I hearby announce that U (honorific) Win Myint, who obtained the majority of votes, is elected as P

The messages are quite explicit; one is of the said pastor asking the woman if her period wasn’t over yet because he needs “p**sy“. The woman told him she was still on her period, then he asked her to help him get someone because he needed it badly. According to ToriMill findings, the church is divided now as some members believe the pastor’s claim that he’s innocent while some do not believe him.

Germany ‘not as good as some think’, says Kroos.

A goal from Gabriel Jesus gave Brazil revenge over the World Cup winners, who must use the experience as an opportunity to work harder Toni Kroos has said that Germany must use their 1-0 defeat to Brazil on Tuesday as something of a wake up call and that Joachim Low’s side are “not as good as some of us might think”. A goal from Gabriel Jesus gave the South Americans a narrow victory in Berlin that amounts to some form of revenge after they were thumped 7-1 by Germany as the Europeans won the 2014 World Cup. With the 2018 competition now just weeks away, the Germans are once again considered one of the favourites but Real Madrid midfielder Kroos believes that they cannot let the hype get to them after their latest setback.
