After Breaking Law, High Court Accused of Waging ‘Coup’ Against Legislative Branch
Israel’s Supreme Court is being accused of waging a judicial coup after telling the Knesset (Parliament) chairman, Likud MK Yuli Edelstein, to hold a vote on his own resignation. Their ruling added that if the Chairman refuses to hold the vote, the High Court will remove him. Edelstein rejected the ultimatum saying that “the attorney general’s meddling in parliamentary affairs is inappropriate.” The chairman added that he will “hold a vote at a later time when the time is right.” The decision is highly controversial as it is contravenes Israel’s Basic Law which states that the Knesset Chairman is to remain in their role until a new Knesset is sworn in.

Unity talks stalled over High Court ruling to allow vote for speaker
The prospect of a unity government was fading Tuesday after Knesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein refused to commit to a date for a vote on his replacement and after the High Court instructed him to bring the matter to a vote by Wednesday at the latest. Likud ministers fumed over Blue & White’s intention to replace the speaker with a member of their own party despite threats to discontinue unity talks. Blue & White party members were equally outraged at what they saw as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s efforts to keep Edelstein in the Speaker’s chair while trampling on the court and in disregard for its authority. Edelstein has yet to announce his decisions after the High Court’s unanimous ruling Monday but had earlier said that the high court was intervening in an unprecedented way in the Knesset time-table in a politically motivated manner,” increasing the tensions between the prime minister’s political camp and the judicial system.

Afghanistan conflict: Militants in deadly attack on Sikh temple in Kabul
At least 25 people have been killed in a militant attack on a Sikh temple in the Afghan capital Kabul. The interior ministry said a gunman had burst into the complex early in the morning, firing on worshippers. He was killed in an exchange of fire lasting six hours with security forces. Earlier reports said a group of assailants had carried out the attack. About 150 people were trapped in the complex in the Shorbazar area. The Islamic State group claimed the attack. IS has targeted Sikhs and other religious minorities before in Afghanistan. The country’s main militant group, the Taliban, denied any involvement. Nato in Afghanistan called it an outrage.

U.S. Congress, negotiators reach deal on $2-trillion coronavirus aid package
U.S. senators and Trump administration officials have reached an agreement on a massive economic stimulus bill to alleviate the economic impact of the coronavirus outbreak, the negotiators said on Wednesday. Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer called the measure “the largest rescue package in American history,” describing it as a “Marshall Plan” for hospitals and medical needs, in a reference to the U.S.-funded program that helped rebuild Europe after World War Two. McConnell said the package would rush checks to help Americans pay bills during job layoffs related to the outbreak, expand unemployment insurance and deliver emergency loans to small businesses. It would also “stabilize key national industries” and provide financial help for hospitals and healthcare providers struggling to get equipment for sick patients, he added. The stimulus package had been expected to boost the economy with a massive infusion of aid, including a $500 billion fund to help hard-hit industries with loans and a comparable amount for direct payments of up to $3,000 to millions of U.S. families.

IMF, World Bank call for suspension of debt payments by poorest nations to battle Covid-19
The International Monetary Fund and World Bank on Wednesday called for governments to put a hold on debt payments from the world’s poorest nations so they can battle the coronavirus pandemic. “The World Bank Group and the IMF believe it is imperative at this moment to provide a global sense of relief for developing countries as well as a strong signal to financial markets,” the Washington-based development lenders said in a joint statement. The move is directed at countries that qualify for the most generous aid from the “IDA” fund aimed at the “two-thirds of the world’s population living in extreme poverty.”

Countries are starting to hoard food, threatening global trade
Thanks to hoarding, our food supply can become precarious in the short term
It’s not just grocery shoppers who are hoarding pantry staples. Some governments are moving to secure domestic food supplies during the conoravirus pandemic. Kazakhstan, one of the world’s biggest shippers of wheat flour, banned exports of that product along with others, including carrots, sugar and potatoes. Serbia has stopped the flow of its sunflower oil and other goods. Russia is leaving the door open to shipment bans and said it’s assessing the situation weekly. To be perfectly clear, there have been just a handful of moves and no sure signs that much more is on the horizon. Still, what’s been happening has raised a question: Is this the start of a wave of food nationalism that will further disrupt supply chains and trade flows? “We’re starting to see this happening already — and all we can see is that the lockdown is going to get worse,” said Tim Benton, research director in emerging risks at think tank Chatham House in London.

China’s central bank is one step closer to issuing its digital currency – report
As the markets continue to drop and the U.S. looks to Congress for agreement on a massive stimulus package to save the economy from impacts of the coronavirus pandemic, the newest offer by House Democrats includes a very forward-looking kind of stimulus: the creation of a ‘digital dollar’ and the establishment of ‘digital dollar wallets.’ In what will send shock waves through the cryptocurrency and blockchain industry, particularly for those following central bank digital currencies around the world, this signals the U.S. is serious in establishing infrastructure for a central bank digital currency.

Andorra set to become latest nation to legalize gay marriage
Andorra, one of Europe’s smallest countries, is set to legalize gay marriage, highlighting that eastern European countries with anti-LGBT laws are “on the wrong side of history”, leading human rights specialists said on Monday. A bill presented by the ruling coalition of Andorra, a nation of 80,000 people on the border of France and Spain, will remove the legal distinction between same-sex civil unions and heterosexual weddings. It is expected to take effect in months. “For countries that continue to discriminate against LGBT people and persecute them as they daposto in Russia, (Andorra’s) move is further evidence that they are on the wrong side of history,” said barrister Jonathan Cooper at Doughty Street Chambers. Katrin Hugendubel, advocacy director at LGBT+ rights group ILGA-Europe, stressed that human rights must not be overlooked as the world suffers under the effects of the coronavirus.

China shame: Christian persecuted amid pandemic as crosses torn down and churches razed
Amid the global pandemic, a Christian non-profit organisation found religious minorities are still facing intense struggles against the Chinese Communist Party. Reports have surfaced of crosses being torn down and churches destroyed in a crackdown against the Christian community within the country. The Voice of the Martyrs, a charity which aims to help oppressed Christians across the world, has studied the climate in China. They have found Chinese officials remain strict on Christians even in the middle of the coronavirus crisis. Todd Nettleton, the organisation’s spokesman, told Fox: “China is now holding itself up as a model for fighting the coronavirus. He added that in Shandong Province, online preaching has been forbidden. In churches all over the world, online ministry has served as a vital part of outreach amid lockdowns, social distancing and self-isolation. In the province, all Christian “meetings without approval” have been forced to shut down. This is currently enforced by the region’s China Christian Council and the Three-Self Patriotic Movement – used to control Christianity in China.

“And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven.” (Luke 21:11) “For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places “(Matthew 24:7) “So I looked, and behold, a pale horse. And the name of him who sat on it was Death, and Hades followed with him. And power was given to them over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword, with hunger, with death (Thanatos in Greek meaning the death of the body whether natural or violent), and by the beasts of the earth” (Revelation 6:8)

“We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself,” announced President Trump with conviction at the start of his press briefing Monday evening. As the Senate continues to debate sections of what would be the largest fiscal stimulus in history, Vice President Mike Pence confirmed the largely-anticipated package will include payroll subsidies to small businesses, direct payments of $3,000 to the average family of four, unemployment benefits, and assistance to hospitals and major industries. “We encourage Congress to act, and ask governors to engage their delegations,” said Pence.Under Section 4512 of the Defense Production Act, President Trump signed an executive order prohibiting the hoarding of vital medical equipment and supplies such as “hand sanitizers, face masks and personal protection equipment.” The secretary of Health and Human Services is now authorized to designate certain medical supplies as scarce, making it a crime to stockpile these supplies in excessive quantities, sell at excessive prices, or otherwise conduct fraudulent schemes related to the pandemic.
