Romanian Prime Minister Ludovic Orban has been fined $600 for smoking indoors and not following social distancing rules. He held a meeting in a government building with several cabinet members and other participants who did not maintain a distance between them, according to Al Jazeera.

WASHINGTON: Secret Service agents rushed President Donald Trump to a White House bunker as hundreds of protesters gathered outside the executive mansion, some of them throwing rocks and tugging at police barricades. Trump spent nearly an hour in the bunker, which was designed for use in emergencies like terrorist attacks, according to a Republican close to the White House who was not authorized to publicly discuss private matters and spoke on condition of anonymity. The account was confirmed by an administration official who also on condition of anonymity. The protests were triggered by the death of George Floyd, a black man who died after he was pinned at the neck by a white Minneapolis police officer.

ISLAMABAD: India on Sunday expelled two officials of the Pakistani High Commission in Delhi accusing them of espionage — a charge, which was immediately rejected by Pakistan as “false and unsubstantiated”. The officials were identified as Abid Hussain Abid, 42, an assistant in the Pakistani mission, and Mohammad Tahir Khan, 44, a clerk. Indian Ministry of Ext­ernal Affairs (MEA) in a statement said they were “apprehe­nded today by Indian law enf­orcement authorities for indulging in espionage activities”. The officials, according to Indian media, were allegedly obtaining documents about the Indian security establishment from a local person. Indian government later declared both of them persona non grata and asked them to leave the country within 24 hours. The move is likely to add to the already strained ties between the two countries. The Foreign Office, in a statement, noted that the expulsions had come in the midst of “an already vitiated atmosphere”. In a demarche given to P

ISLAMABAD: The government on Sunday reduced prices of all petroleum products except High Speed Diesel (HSD) to partially pass on the impact of massive international price reduction to the masses. The revised prices will remain effective till June 30. In doing so, the government increased the rate of petroleum levy on petrol by more than 26pc to mop up additional windfall revenues of about Rs6.5bn. The levy on petrol was increased from Rs23.76 per litre to the maximum permissible limit of Rs30 per litre. The decision was announced by the ministry of finance, after consultations with representatives of the International Monetary Fund, in a balancing act to share the drastic fall in international oil prices among consumers already hit badly by Coronavirus lockdown. Under the announcement, the ex-depot price of petrol was fixed at Rs74.52 per litre from Rs81.58 per litre at present, showing a reduction of Rs7.06 or 8.65pc. Based on the existing tax rates and the PSO’s import cost, the p

CAPE CANAVERAL: Just under 19 hours after launching from Florida, SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule carrying NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley docked with the International Space Station (ISS) on Sunday, marking the first US space capsule to do so with a crew since 2011. The launch on Saturday by SpaceX, the private rocket company of billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, represented another milestone for the reusable rockets it pioneered to make spaceflight less costly and more frequent. It also marked the first time that commercially developed space vehicles — owned and operated by a private entity rather than NASA — have carried Americans into orbit. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from the Kennedy Space Centre at 3:22pm on Saturday for the journey to the International Space Station. Just before liftoff, Hurley said, “SpaceX, we’re go for launch. Let’s light this candle,” paraphrasing the famous comment uttered on the launch pad in 1961 by Alan Shepard, the first American f

WASHINGTON: Most Americans do not want their government to take steps to curb online misinformation as they fear it could limit their freedoms, noted a report released by a US think tank this week. The report, a summary of various recent surveys on social media outlets, also found that Americans were more open to tech companies taking action to curb misinformation. The Washington-based Pew Research Centre said its report should be viewed in the backdrop of President Donald Trump’s executive order last week that aimed at discouraging social media companies from censoring posts. The order followed a decision by Twitter earlier to add fact-checking labels to two of Trump’s tweets, even as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he was against internet companies’ fact-checking political speech. In one of the surveys carried out in Feb and March 2018, 56 per cent of respondents said tech companies should take steps to restrict false information online, even if it limited freedom of informatio

Authorities imposed curfews in the capital Washington and other major US cities Sunday to prevent fresh rioting after anti-racism protesters again took to the streets to voice their fury at police brutality. As the Trump administration branded instigators of five nights of rioting domestic terrorists, there were more confrontations between protesters and police and fresh outbreaks of looting. Local leaders appealed to citizens to give constructive outlet to their rage over the death of an unarmed black man, while night-time curfews were imposed in cities such as Washington, Los Angeles, Houston and Minneapolis, which has been the epicenter of unrest. The most closely-watched protest was outside the state capitol in Minneapolis' twin city of St Paul where several thousand people gathered before marching down a highway.
