In the Republican video titled &lsquo;I've seen it getting better and better&rsquo;, manufacturing workers in the &lsquo;blue collar room&rsquo; are seen praising President Donald Trump for his work to strengthen the US economy.&nbsp;The Twitter moderation team flagged the video as containing "potentially sensitive content," reports said the Twitter action irked Donald Trump Jr who immediately tweeted and called the move is a disgrace.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The passengers on board a flight in Australia&nbsp;wraped&nbsp;themselves in plastic sheets, clearly depicting how scared people are since the virus outbreak in December that has killed over 2,300 people so far.

The World Health Organization has said the number of coronavirus cases with no clear link to China is a cause for concern, adding that the window of opportunity to contain the virus was narrowing. WHO chief's comments come after Iran announced four deaths of infected patients who had no link to China. Outside China over 1,152 cases of the virus have been confirmed in 26 countries, the biggest cluster of confirmed cases being in South Korea.

Israel confirmed its first case of new coronavirus on Friday, in a citizen who flew home from Japan earlier this week after being quarantined on the stricken cruise ship Diamond Princess.&nbsp;A total of 15 Israelis were among the passengers quarantined on board the Diamond Princess, of whom 11 have flown home. The others all tested negative for the virus. The returning Israelis had all been placed in quarantine for 14 days at the Sheba Hospital in the central town of Tel Hashomer. The development comes after Australia also confirmed that two returnees from the cruise ship had tested positive for coronavirus.

The United States is preparing to sign a deal with the Taliban on February 29, building on an agreement on reducing violence across Afghanistan, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Friday. The partial truce will mark a historic step in more than 18 years of gruelling conflict in Afghanistan and would pave the way for a deal that could, ultimately, see the war end.&nbsp;Pompeo said that intra-Afghan negotiations would begin shortly after the February 29 signing, expected to take place in Doha.

China on Friday denied any delay in allowing a special Indian flight to the coronavirus-hit Wuhan city to deliver medical supplies and evacuate remaining Indians from there, saying the concerned departments of both the countries were in touch to finalise the schedule. India on February 17 announced that it will send Indian Air Force's largest plane C-17 Globemaster with medical supplies to Wuhan&nbsp;and bring back its nationals as well as citizens from all neighbouring countries who were still stuck there on the return flight. The plane was supposed to take off on Thursday but as of Friday afternoon it was still waiting for China's clearance, official sources told the Hindustan Times. This as the&nbsp;death toll in China rose to 2,236 with the overall confirmed infection cases climbing to 75,465.

Two Australians evacuated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship have tested positive for coronavirus on their return home despite being cleared in Japan.&nbsp;Health officials in Canberra told AFP all 164 Australians who returned home earlier this week were tested for COVID-19 in Japan and returned negative results. But six evacuees have since been retested, and two -- described as an older person and a younger person -- were found to be infected. Australian officials stressed the discovery was &lsquo;not unexpected&rsquo;, given the continued spread of the disease on the Diamond Princess after testing began.&nbsp;

Pakistan will remain in the Financial Action Task Force's 'grey list' but has been given a sharp warning to deliver on the remaining 13 action points in the next four months or risk being blacklisted, say reports.

The FATF has warned Pakistan to complete its full action plan by June 2020 or be blacklisted if no significant and sustainable progress is made.

US President Donald Trump and wife Melania Trump, who are visiting India on February 24-25, will be accompanied by daughter Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, according to multiple reports. Ivanka and Jared are advisers to the US President. The four are scheduled to travel to Ahmedabad and then to Agra, where they will see the Taj Mahal, before arriving in New Delhi.

Vietnamese authorities have charged seven people in connection with the deaths of 39 citizens, who were found dead in a refrigerated lorry in the UK's Essex county last year.&nbsp;The migrants, including two 15-year-olds, were found in the lorry on an industrial estate in Essex and were mostly from poor and rural areas of Vietnam's north-central provinces. The Ha&nbsp;Tinh&nbsp;provincial police said the seven charged persons created immigration profiles for 67 people from various Vietnamese localities for illegal work in the UK and Europe. Six of the accused are in custody, and police said they would request an Interpol red notice for another, who is a woman living in&nbsp;China.

India has been hitting the US 'very hard' on trade for many years with high tariffs, according to President Donald Trump who said he will 'talk business' with Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his first visit to the country. "I'm going to India next week and we're talking trade. They've been hitting us very hard for many, many years," Trump said at a 'Keep America Great' rally in Colorado on Thursday. Downplaying the expectation of a trade deal with India during his visit, Trump said the two countries could make a "tremendous" trade deal, but indicated that the talks on this might slow down if he did not get a good deal.

US President Donald Trump has made another claim, saying he has been told by Prime Minister Narendra Modi that 10 million people are expected to turn up along a 22-km-long road in Ahmedabad. Trump&rsquo;s claim at a packed re-election campaign rally in Colorado comes despite the&nbsp;Ahmedabad municipal body estimating much lower figures of the crowd.&nbsp; PM Modi and President Trump will travel on a 22-km-long road on February 24. Earlier this week,&nbsp;Donald Trump had put the number at seven million. To put the number in perspective, the population of Ahmedabad, which is the biggest city in Gujarat, is between 7 to 8&nbsp;million.&nbsp;

China has touted a big drop in new virus infections as proof its epidemic control efforts are working, but the toll grew abroad with deaths in Japan and South Korea.&nbsp;Fatalities in China hit over 2200 as 114 more people died, but health officials reported the lowest number of new cases in nearly a month, including in hardest-hit Hubei province. The number of deaths outside mainland China climbed to 11.&nbsp;Japan's toll rose to three as a man and a woman in their 80s who had been aboard a quarantined cruise ship died. South Korea reported its first death, and the number of infections in the country nearly doubled Thursday to 104. Iran reported two deaths on Wednesday and three new cases Thursday. Deaths have previously been confirmed in France, the Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong.&nbsp;

Roger Stone, a longtime confidant of President Donald Trump, has been sentenced to more than three years in prison for obstructing a congressional investigation in a case that has sparked fears about presidential interference in the justice system. Soon after the Judge pronounced sentence, Trump publicly decried Stone's conviction as unfair and prominent Republican legislators gave tacit support for a pardon. But Trump said he wasn't ready to act just yet. Stone was convicted in November on all seven counts of an indictment that accused him of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to tip the 2016 election.&nbsp;

Expressing bewilderment to a rally crowd in Colorado that a foreign language movie could get the top award,&nbsp;US President&nbsp;Donald Trump&nbsp;mocked the&nbsp;Academy Awards&nbsp;for giving its best picture Oscar to&nbsp;Parasite.&nbsp;&ldquo;By the way, how bad were the Academy Awards this year, do you see? And the winner is, a movie from South Korea. What the hell was all that about? We got enough problems with South Korea, on trade, and on top of it they give it the best movie of the year. Was it good?&rsquo;&nbsp;Then Trump pretended to be an Oscar presenter.&nbsp;Neon, the distributor of Parasite, tweeted out a reaction to Trump&rsquo;s criticism: 'Understandable, he can&rsquo;t read.'
&nbsp;

Days ahead of his India visit, US President Donald Trump has said the two countries could make a &lsquo;tremendous&rsquo; trade deal. "We're going to India, and we may make a tremendous deal there," Trump said in his commencement address at the Hope for Prisoners Graduation Ceremony in Las Vegas. Trump, accompanied by First Lady Melania Trump, is scheduled to travel to Ahmedabad, Agra and New Delhi on February 24 and 25.&nbsp;Ahead of the visit, there have been talks about India and the United States agreeing on a trade package as a precursor to a major trade deal.&nbsp;

Julian Assange's European defense team has said it will try to seek asylum in France for the Wikileaks founder, whose full hearings for extradition to the United States on spying charges start next week in London. French members of the team said they have been working on a concrete demand for Macron to grant Assange asylum in France, where he has children and where Wikileaks was present at its founding.&nbsp;Baltasar Garzon, the Spanish coordinator of Assange's team, reiterated his client's plan to claim that the Trump administration offered him a pardon.&nbsp;
