Passengers finally began leaving the Diamond Princess cruise ship in Japan on Wednesday after the end of a much-criticised, two-week quarantine that failed to stop the spread of a new virus among passengers and crew. The evacuation of about 2,500 people who'd been kept aboard the ship in Yokohama was expected to take several days under close observation, after one passenger who disembarked earlier in Hong Kong was found to have the virus. Officials still were continuing tests for the coronavirus that infected more than 540 on the ship.

According to multiple reports, the anti-terror money laundering agency - the&nbsp;Financial Action Task Force has recommended that Pakistan will continue on the 'Grey List' for failure&nbsp;to check terror funding. News agency&nbsp;PTI&nbsp;quoting sources said that a&nbsp;sub-group of FATF&nbsp;has recommended continuation of Pakistan in the 'Grey List' and that the final decision will be announced on Friday. By continuing on the 'Grey List', it will be difficult for Pakistan to get financial aid from the IMF, World Bank, ADB and the European Union, thus further enhancing problems for the nation which is in a precarious financial situation.&nbsp;Pakistan was placed on the 'Grey List' by the FATF in June 2018 and was given a plan of action to complete by October 2019 or face the risk of being placed on the 'Black List' along with Iran and North Korea.

Death toll from deadly coronavirus has crossed 2000. China&rsquo;s National Health Commission said there was a total of 74,185 confirmed cases as of Tuesday and 2,004 people have died so far. Hubei province reported an additional 132 deaths and 1,693 newly confirmed cases related to the pneumonia-like coronavirus as of the end of Tuesday.&nbsp;Most of the fatalities in Hubei occurred in the city of Wuhan, where the disease was first detected in late December.

Gun violence struck in a Thai shopping mall for the third time in six weeks on Tuesday when a man fatally shot a 28-year-old woman working at a beauty clinic in a Bangkok mall and wounded another. The motive for the shooting was believed to be jealousy, and the shooter escaped and remained at large several hours later. The shooting came just over a week after a disgruntled soldier fatally shot 29 people in the northeastern city of Nakhon Ratchasima before being killed by security forces in the mall where he was holed up for about 16 hours.&nbsp;

Afghanistan&rsquo;s independent election commission says President Ashraf Ghani has won a second term as president.&nbsp;The commission announced that Ghani garnered 50.64% of votes in the election that took place last year in September. His challenger and chief executive Abdullah&nbsp;Abdullah&nbsp;received 39.52% of votes. Election results were repeatedly delayed amid accusations of misconduct and technical problems with counting ballots. The election commission had earlier said that 1.8 million Afghan citizens voted in the election out of some 9.6 million eligible.&nbsp;

Tesla CEO Elon Musk took a jibe at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates after the world's second richest man declared he has bought his first EV, a Porsche&nbsp;Taycan. Gates told a noted YouTube tech reviewer Marques Brownlee in an interview that he purchased his first-ever EV Porsche&nbsp;Taycan, calling the vehicle &lsquo;very, very cool&rsquo;. My conversations with Gates have been underwhelming to be honest, Musk tweeted to a user. The initial EV Porsche&nbsp;Taycan&nbsp;Turbo S model starts at $185,000 while the entry-level Tesla Model 3 starts from $35,000.

The Boy Scouts of America filed for bankruptcy in what it said was an effort to safeguard compensation payouts for sexual abuse victims.&nbsp;The organisation has been accused of covering up generations of abuse inflicted on thousands of its young members and failing to do enough to root out paedophiles.&nbsp;Bankruptcy proceedings will help the Boy Scouts to "equitably compensate" victims and allow the organisation to continue at a local level. More than 12,000 members of the Boy Scouts had been sexually abused since in the organization since 1944. Founded in 1910, the Boy Scouts of America has around 2.2 million members between the ages of five and 21.

An additional 88 people have tested positive for coronavirus on a quarantined cruise ship off the Japan coast.&nbsp;This takes the total number of positive cases on the Diamond Princess to 542. There is no confirmation so far if this includes any Indian. A total of 138 Indians, including 132 crew and 6 passengers, are among the 3,711 people on board the ship that arrived at the Japanese coast earlier this month.&nbsp;The ship was quarantined after a passenger who de-boarded last month in Hong Kong was found to be the carrier of coronavirus&nbsp;on the ship.

A hospital director of the Wuchang&nbsp;Hospital in the epicentre of China's virus epidemic died on Tuesday.&nbsp;Liu Zhiming, the director of the hospital in Wuhan, died after "all-out rescue efforts failed," state broadcaster CCTV reported.&nbsp;China said last week that six medical workers had died from the virus, while 1,716 have been infected. People took to social media to mourn Liu, with many users drawing critical comparisons between Liu's&nbsp;and ophthalmologist Li Wenliang's death. In both cases their deaths were initially reported in state media posts -- later deleted -- and their deaths denied, before being finally confirmed again.

The killing of a seven-year-old girl on the southern outskirts of Mexico City has stoked anger over the brutal slayings of women in Mexico. Investigators found the body of&nbsp;the schoolgirl&nbsp;name Fatima wrapped in a bag and abandoned in a rural area on Saturday and was identified by genetic testing. The investigation is focused on identifying a woman seen walking away from Fatima's school with the girl.&nbsp;The abduction and killing of the child came just two days after Ingrid Escamilla, a young Mexico City resident, was allegedly murdered by a boyfriend.&nbsp;

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has announced he plans to spend $10 billion of his own fortune to help fight "the devastating impact" of climate change.&nbsp;The world&rsquo;s richest man took to Instagram&nbsp;to say that the Bezos Earth Fund would start giving grants this summer to scientists, activists and non-profit organisations working to protect Earth.&nbsp;&ldquo;I want to work alongside others both to amplify known ways and to explore new ways of fighting the devastating impact of climate change&rdquo;, Bezos said in the post. Amazon has an enormous carbon footprint - the online retailer relies on fossil fuels to power planes, trucks and vans in order to ship billions of items all around the world.

The death toll from the coronavirus outbreak in mainland China crossed 1,868 on Monday with additional 93 deaths from Hubei and five more in other parts of the country. The government also reported close to 2000 new infections across the country, but mostly from Hubei, bringing the nationwide total to at least 72,436. News reports from Beijing said that more than 3,000 Chinese healthcare workers may have already been infected by the coronavirus, almost twice as many as the numbers reported by the government.

As&nbsp;coronavirus outbreak&nbsp;continues to batter China, the country's central bank has implemented a new strategy to contain the virus -- deep cleaning and destroying potentially infected cash. The new measures, announced by the People's Bank of China, aims to contain the spread of the virus which has&nbsp;infected more than 71,000 people&nbsp;globally and killed over 1,700.&nbsp;All Chinese banks must now literally launder their cash, disinfecting it with ultraviolet light and high temperatures, then storing it for seven to 14 days before releasing it to customers.&nbsp;And in the central bank's Guangzhou branch, these high-risk banknotes may be destroyed instead of merely disinfected, according to&nbsp;state-run Global Times.&nbsp;

A powerful suicide bombing killed ten people and wounded at least 16 others in Pakistan's restive Baluchistan province on Monday. The bomber struck an Islamist rally in the regional capital near Quetta's press club, where dozens of supporters for a Sunni militant group had gathered. Police officers were among those killed. Baluch separatist groups, as well as rival Shiite and Sunni militants, operate in the province and have staged similar attacks before.&nbsp;

Britain issued five severe flood alerts on Monday, warning of a danger to life after Storm Dennis flooded many places. The severe flood warnings were for the central English counties of Worcestershire, Herefordshire and&nbsp;Shropshire. Britain's meteorological agency issued another 221 flood warnings for England, along with 24 for Wales and 12 for Scotland. Forecasters said river levels in parts of northern England had yet to reach their peak.&nbsp;

An important assertion by Pakistan Prime Minister&nbsp;Imran&nbsp;Khan as the global anti-money laundering watchdog - the&nbsp;Financial Action Task Force meets in Paris. Speaking at an international conference, Khan has said that&nbsp;there are no "safe havens" for terror groups in Pakistan "right now". He went on to admit that&nbsp;it was possible that such safe heavens were operating in the country, saying, "Whatever the situation might have been in the past, right now, I can tell you... there is one thing we want: peace in Afghanistan." India, the United States and Afghanistan have long accused Pakistan of providing safe havens to terror groups like the Taliban and the Haqqani network. Also, the timing of his statement is important as&nbsp;Pakistan is trying to wriggle out of being blacklisted by the FATF for not doing enough to combat terror financing, a meeting which is on in Paris.

Stating that Erdogan&rsquo;s remarks are &lsquo;completely unacceptable&rsquo;,&nbsp;India has issued a strong demarche to Turkey on the remarks made by&nbsp;Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Jammu and Kashmir&nbsp;during his Pakistan visit. MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Erdogan&rsquo;s remarks reflect neither an understanding of history nor of the conduct of diplomacy. He also added that the remarks distort events of the past to advance a narrow minded view of the present. The demarche was sent to the Ambassador of Turkey in New Delhi.&nbsp;

China is considering a rare move to postpone its annual parliament session scheduled to be held in early March as the country grapples with the coronavirus outbreak. This as China on Monday reported 105 new deaths due to the coronavirus, increasing the overall death toll to 1,770.&nbsp;The 13th National People's Congress, the country's top legislature, is due to hold its annual session in Beijing on March 5. But amid the spread of the coronavirus the NPC Standing Committee is to discuss postponing this year's NPC plenary session, the state-run China Daily reported.&nbsp;If the NPC, which is held every year along with the advisory body Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, is postponed, it will be regarded as an unprecedented move.

India on Sunday rejected UN chief Antonio Guterres's offer of mediation on Kashmir and said the real issue that needed to be addressed is to vacate territories 'illegally and forcibly' occupied by Pakistan. India's response came after the UN chief, who is on a 4-day visit to Islamabad said he was concerned over the situation in Kashmir, and that he was ready to mediate between the two countries. MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Jammu and Kashmir is and will continue to be an integral part of India and urged the UN to press Pakistan to take credible and irreversible action to stop cross-border terrorism against India.

India will soon send a consignment of medical supplies to China to assist Beijing in combating the deadly coronavirus outbreak. Expressing solidarity with the people of China in their fight against the epidemic, Indian Ambassador to China said this is a concrete measure which will fully demonstrate the goodwill, solidarity and friendship of the people and Government of India with the Chinese people. Meanwhile, the death toll from the outbreak in China has climbed to 1,665 after 142 more people died, mostly in the worst-hit Hubei province.&nbsp;

According to reports, food delivery platforms like Swiggy and Zomato&nbsp;are driving the growth and popularity of 'dark' kitchens. Commonly known as ghost kitchens or cloud kitchens, these are basically takeaway outlets that mostly&nbsp; cater to online orders.&nbsp;One factor that has worked in favour of the food delivery platforms is the data that they have accumulated about consumers' preferences. Analysing this data allows them to understand the nature of the demand of food a particular area generates. The biggest advantage of virtual kitchens includes relatively low investment and business risk.&nbsp;

An almost 400-year-old painting, long considered a knock-off of one of the most revered Dutch artists, Rembrandt, is in fact a work of the Dutch master himself. For decades, the oil-on-oak panel painting had been displayed at the Allentown Art Museum in Pennsylvania, calling it 'Portrait of a Young Woman' and was attributed to 'Studio of Rembrandt.' 2 years back, it was sent to NYU for cleaning and they began suspecting its authenticity. Using infrared technology and electron microscopy, the analysis showed similarities and brushwork common to Rembrandt's. The 17th century work is currently in the museum's vault and will go on display from the 7th of June.

Vivo’s first phone of the new decade is here—the Vivo S1 Pro. With a quad camera system, great design and a crisp display, it’s a good mid-ranger on paper, but how does it perform in the real world? Let’s find out.

The Vivo S1 Pro is here, the Chinese smartphone maker's first device for 2020. Here's our unboxing and first impressions of the device.
Open up the box and you'll find the device itself, some regulatory stickers, the 18W fast charging adapter, a pair of 3.5mm wired earphones, the Type-C charging cable, some literature along with the SIM-ejector tool and finally, the transparent silicone case.
The S1 Pro at first glance looks extremely stylish, with its 48MP quad camera system in a diamond-shaped array. The back of the phone is in signature Vivo fashion, made out of plastic, but finished in a manner that makes it look like glass. This Dreamy White colour we've got throws up some really nice patterns when reflecting light, and since it's a light shade, fingerprints aren't all that visible on the glossy surface.
The metallic sides of the device are in this rose-gold colour, with the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, the Type-C port with microphone and single-firing speaker on the bottom, SIM tray on the left and the volume buttons with the red colour power button on the right. The different coloured power button is a nice touch, and really puts the S1 Pro's design a notch above the competition.
Speaking of notches, there's one on the top of the 6.38-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display, and it houses a 32MP selfie camera. There's an in-display fingerprint scanner as well, and it's shaped like a diamond to match the camera array on the back of the phone.
The S1 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 665 processor, 8GB of RAM, Android 9 Pie and comes with 128GB of internal storage. The hybrid dual SIM slot also houses space for a microSD card, and there's quite a few apps that are pre-installed on the device.

The environmental harm caused by flying is not unknown. While greener fuels and electric engines are some ways to cut&nbsp;carbon emissions, a new study has found another way to do so. A team of scientists&nbsp;at Imperial College London concludes that&nbsp;changing the flying altitude by just couple of thousand feet could reduce the climate damage.&nbsp;This helps in eradicating&nbsp;airplane contrails - the white streaks you see after an airplane has passed.&nbsp;Contrails can block outgoing heat from escaping the earth, acting like a blanket that&nbsp;traps heat.&nbsp;Flying an airplane higher or lower could help get rid of contrails because they only form in thinner areas of atmosphere with high humidity.&nbsp;The team is in discussion with aviation authorities about how their research might work practically.

The team is in discussion with aviation authorities about how their research might work practically.
