2022-08-04 01:01:05 Daughter IDs missing mum online after 20 years

A Mumbai woman spotted her long-lost mother in a video posted by a Pakistani social-media account.

She disappeared after going off to work as a cook in Dubai for a stint - with her agent allegedly saying she was fine, but didn’t want to be contacted.

In the video, the mother apparently denies this - saying she’d been forced into silence… her daughter now wants to help them reunite.

2022-08-03 22:01:59 Supply Chain Crisis: Washington Eyes Chinese Chip Restrictions

The US is considering targeting China's booming semiconductor sector - which could have global consequences for smartphones and data centres.

South Korean giant Samsung for example - which bases most of its production in China - accounts for around 15% of flash memory chips around the world.

2022-08-03 21:01:15 Could bad actors influence pick of next PM?

With a tiny fraction of the UK population - aka paid-up Tory party members - poised to pick the country’s future leader, there are fears the vote could be meddled with.

British cybersecurity has advised against letting members change their paper votes later online - citing alleged Russian mischief in the 2016 election as a chief reason for caution.

The race looks like a foregone conclusion anyway though - with polls putting Foreign Secretary Liz Truss way ahead of -heritage Rishi Sunak… at least among the select few who will decide.

2022-08-03 19:01:04 Wheat a minute! There's no shortage here

New Delhi has played down fears of a grain shortage - despite the impact of inflation.

Prices traditionally are low around harvest time, but producers are looking to export at higher rates due to the Ukraine conflict.

2022-08-03 18:01:16 Lucky ‘white elephant’ born in

Local media gushed that the rare creature boasts 7 of the 8 traits that make the species so special… including “pearl-coloured eyes,” a “distinctive tail” and a different number of claws on the front (5) and back (4) legs.

White elephants are locally regarded as very auspicious beasts.

But the Instagram-able cutie’s had little success online, where reactions have been muted if not sceptical… the recent military coup in Myanmar possibly being the ‘elephant in the room’!

2022-08-03 17:01:15 IMF to resume -bailout talks ‘this month’

The Fund had been reluctant to get involved due to the political unrest in the debt-crushed nation (140% of GDP).
