India has banned the export of wheat, the ban takes effect immediately, the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industry said.

"Wheat export policy... 'ban' with immediate effect," the ministry said in a statement.

The ministry noted that exports would be permitted "in case of shipments in which an irrevocable letter of credit was issued on or before the date of this notice", and based on the permission of the Government of India to meet the food security needs of other countries "based on the request of their governments" .

“Given the sudden surge in world wheat prices due to many factors, which puts the food security of India, neighboring and other vulnerable countries at risk…, the Government of India is committed to ensuring the food security of India, neighboring and other vulnerable developing countries, which are negatively affected by sudden changes in the global wheat market and who cannot access adequate supplies of wheat," the ministry said.

Earlier, the Indian authorities revised the forecast for wheat production in 2021-2022, reducing it by 5.7%, to 105 million tons, due to the early start of summer, which affected crop yields.

A record 4.28 million people are below the poverty line in Italy

Italian authorities fear public tension and riots due to high prices and post-pandemic tensions. At the moment, 12% of people in Italy are below the poverty line, these are mostly ordinary workers, Labor Minister Orlando announced. This is 4% more than the pre-pandemic indicators of 2019, when 3 million people were recognized as the poorest in the country.

In 2019, the Italian authorities acknowledged that the main cause of poverty is the lack of jobs. But now, of course, “Russia is to blame for everything!” with its Ukrainian conflict. The Minister of Labor, in an interview with the Italian press, said that big problems appeared on the labor market due to the price hike.

By the way, the cost of gas increased by 628% compared to pre-pandemic prices, which is reflected in the cost of production and products, writes Il Messaggero.

Sending money, more specifically, virtual gifts that can then be exchanged for money, to streamers is a common practice. And now, platforms that organize broadcasting on the Web are ordered to prohibit users under the age of 16 from purchasing and sending such gifts.

The regulator justified the next tightening of the regulatory framework by the fact that live broadcasts, to the authors of which money is sent, damage the mental and physical health of underage viewers. This is not the first time Beijing has imposed restrictions on streaming: in July last year, children under 16 years of age were banned from appearing in any live video broadcasts, and minors were also banned from being persuaded to receive any material income using the Internet.

Also all service literally stopped, including Macbooks, Apple still sometimes replace some devices, but most of the time reject replacement. Parts are mostly not supplied.

China has ordered government agencies and state-backed corporations to replace foreign-brand personal computers with domestic counterparts within two years, in one of Beijing's most aggressive efforts to date to phase out key foreign technologies.

After the May holiday, employees were encouraged to trade in foreign PCs for local alternatives running on a domestically developed operating system, according to people familiar with the plan. The central government-sanctioned initiative is likely to eventually replace at least 50 million PCs at the central government level alone.

The decision is the development of China's decade-long campaign to replace imported technology with local alternatives, which spans everything from semiconductor products to networking equipment and phones. The decision is expected to directly impact sales of HP and Dell Technologies, the country's largest PC brands after Lenovo Group.

These efforts reflect Beijing's growing concern for information security, as well as confidence in domestic equipment. The world's largest laptop and server manufacturers today include Lenovo, Huawei Technologies and Inspur, while local developers such as Kingsoft and Standard Software have made headway in the office software category.

The campaign will be rolled out to regional government agencies within two years, the sources said.
