Trading curbs hit Jet Airways stock
The stock exchanges have imposed restrictions on the Jet Airways stock by shifting it to the trade-for-trade segment. In the trade-to-trade category, investors have to take compulsory delivery and no intra-day trading is permitted. The bourses say they have been seeking certain clarifications from the company about various rumours floating in the market. But Jet has failed to provide prompt responses, and the responses received were not satisfactory. Moreover, the company has said it was not in a position to consider and approve the financial results for the year ended March 31, 2019. “Considering these issues and the observations made by the auditor of the company, there are concerns about the continuity of flow of information about the company which is very vital for the appropriate price discovery in the scrip…

Johnny Depp: Dispute over finger injury at centre of The Sun libel case
Image copyright Getty Images How Johnny Depp lost the top of his middle finger is proving key to a libel case he has brought against The Sun. The actor is suing publisher News Group Newspapers (NGN) over a 2018 article that alleged he was violent and abusive towards his ex-wife Amber Heard. At a preliminary hearing on Wednesday, the newspaper group said he sustained the injury during "an alcohol and drug-addled rage against Ms Heard" in 2015.

Google Pixel 3A review
Sales of smartphones are slowing down worldwide, researchers say, partly because people are turned off by the escalating costs. So this will probably come as good news. Google is selling the Pixel 3A, a new version of its popular Pixel smartphone, for about $400 (Rs 27,892) — or half the price of its high-end phones.

Coronavirus: New evictions banned to help renters during crisis
The government is promising emergency legislation to suspend new evictions from social or rented accommodation for the duration of the coronavirus crisis. Under urgent new laws, landlords will not be able to start proceedings to evict tenants for at least three months, due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ministers have also confirmed the three-month mortgage holiday announced on Tuesday will be extended to landlords whose tenants are experiencing difficulties due to coronavirus. This is aimed at alleviating the concerns of landlords, who might be worried about meeting mortgage payments, and should therefore mean no unnecessary pressure is put on their tenants. The government is expecting landlords and tenants to work together to establish affordable repayment plans, taking into consideration tenants' individual circumstances, at the end of the period.
