  • Yellen urges Congress to do more to fight pandemic recession

    Treasury Secretary nominee Janet Yellen is calling on Congress to do more to fight a deep pandemic-induced recession, saying the threats of a longer and even worse downturn are too great to cut back on support now. “Without further action, we risk a longer, more painful recession now — and long-term scarring of the economy later,” Yellen said in testimony prepared for her confirmation hearing Tuesday before the Senate Finance Committee. Yellen, who will be the first female treasury secretary in the nation's history, is expected to have little trouble winning approval in a Senate that will be narrowly controlled by Democrats once two Democratic senators from Georgia are seated.

The restrictions are set to end under a new proclamation from Trump the same day that new COVID-19 test requirements take effect for all international visitors.

  • Movie Theaters ‘Aren’t Going Anywhere’ But Must Evolve | PRO Insight

    When Warner Bros. announced that its slate of 2021 movies would all be released on HBO Max the same day they hit theaters, Hollywood flipped out and declared the death of cinema. Film director and writer Christopher Nolan responded to the news by saying, “Some of our industry’s biggest filmmakers and most important movie stars went to bed the night before thinking they were working for the greatest movie studio and woke up to find out they were working for the worst streaming service.” But Tinseltown has always had a flare for the dramatic. Personally, I do not believe movie theaters are going anywhere. Instead, they will finally be forced to evolve from an antiquated business model based on overpriced popcorn. Also Read: Leaders of the SPAC: Why Hollywood Is Hot for Blank-Check Companies Currently, theaters only get to pocket 50% of the revenue from ticket sales.

  • Trump’s Nominees for ‘Garden of American Heroes’ Include Walt Disney, Grover Cleveland and Alex Trebek

    As one of his last acts in office, President Trump has ordered the building of a monument garden to include scores — upon scores — of statues of “American heroes.” Figures for the garden range from John Adams, Samuel Adams and Muhammad Ali to Annie Oakley, Jesse Owens and Rosa Parks … not to mention Walt Disney, Grover Cleveland and Alex Trebek. It’s unclear how the expansive list was compiled or who compiled it, but according to the “Executive Order on Building the National Garden of American Heroes” issued Monday morning, it’s “America’s answer to this reckless attempt to erase our heroes, values, and entire way of life. Also Read: Bill Maher Sends Trump Off With a Children's Book Called 'Pack Your S- and Go' (VIdeo) “On its grounds, the devastation and discord of the moment will be overcome with abiding love of country and lasting patriotism,” Trump’s executive order states. “This is the American way. When the forces of anti-Americanism have sought to burn, tear down, and destroy, patriots have built, rebuilt, and lifted up. That is our history. America responded to the razing of the White House by building it back in the same place with unbroken resolve, to the murders of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King, Jr., with a national temple and the Stone of Hope, and to the terrorism of 9/11 with a new Freedom Tower. “In keeping with this tradition, America is responding to the tragic toppling of monuments to our founding generation and the giants of our past by commencing a new national project for their restoration, veneration, and celebration.” Memes mocking Trump’s executive order kicked off not long after it was published.

  • Aubameyang double gives Arsenal win over Newcastle

    Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck twice as Arsenal defeated Newcastle United 3-0 in the Premier League on Monday, condemning Steve Bruce's side to a ninth game without a win in all competitions. After a dreadful start to the season, Mikel Arteta's side are now up to 10th place in the league and they never looked in danger against a Newcastle side that looks demoralised. Aubameyang struck the post in the first half and Alexandre Lacazette forced a good save out of the Newcastle keeper just after the interval.

  • Ibrahimovic scores twice as leaders Milan ease past Cagliari

    Ibrahimovic picked up a thigh injury in Milan's win at Napoli on Nov. 22 that kept him out of action until last weekend when he returned as a substitute against Torino, but the evergreen Swede was fit enough to start in Sardinia. He wasted no time in getting back among the goals, winning and converting a seventh-minute penalty, before adding a well-taken second seven minutes into the second half, taking his Serie A goal tally to 12 for the season, from just seven starts. The only disappointing aspect to an otherwise comfortable win for Milan was the late dismissal of substitute Alexis Saelemaekers for two yellow cards picked up in quick succession.

  • Bosses given 30 days to pay suppliers' bills as UK payment code strengthened

    Bosses of large businesses will have to personally make sure bills to suppliers are settled within a month, in a change to a government system aimed at relieving pressure on thousands of small businesses suffering amid the pandemic. It comes as the Government strengthens its prompt payment code – which is voluntary though widely followed – so that 95pc of invoices from small firms are paid within 30 days by larger counterparts. This reduces the deadline from 60 days, which will remain the time target for payments to suppliers that employ over 50 people. As of July 1, company directors, chief executives and finance directors must personally sign the code to ensure responsibility for bills to be settled on time is taken at the top of organisations. The crackdown marks an effort by Whitehall to further safeguard fair treatment and payment practices between organisations of any size in supply chains. Almost 3,000 companies have signed the code, which was first established in December 2008, and a failure to abide by the new terms will see them kicked off the programme. The Government is cracking down on a long-running problem of late payments, which has only been exacerbated as businesses are hit by the pandemic. It comes as small organisations struggle with cash flow, with many lacking the financial resources a larger counterpart would have. Officials estimate about £23bn of late invoices are owed to businesses across Britain, reported the FT. Bosses will also have to acknowledge suppliers can charge interest on late invoices, and the code - overseen by the Office of the Small Business Commissioner on behalf of the business department - has allowed breaches to be investigated based on third-party information. Companies are publicly named and shamed if they breach the rules, as health food chain Holland & Barrett was in 2019 for late payments.
