Air India passengers, stranded in Sweden, set to fly back to Delhi on Friday

<p>China has advised&nbsp;its state-owned firms to gradually eliminate using the services of four international accounting firms, amid concerns about data security. The development comes after Beijing reached a significant deal that will allow US audit inspections of&nbsp;Chinese firms listed in the stock indices of New York. The&nbsp;four accounting firms are&nbsp;Ernst &amp; Young, KPMG, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Deloitte.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Why does China want to phase out international accounting firms?</strong></h2>

<p>First, the Chinese authorities have repeatedly asserted their concerns about data security when it comes to&nbsp;state-owned enterprises dealing with foreign firms for their professional accountancy services. Secondly, China is seeking to encourage its local accounting industry, according to individuals who are cited to be familiar with the matter by Bloomberg.</p>

<h2><strong>The US-China powerplay</strong></h2>

<p>For years, China has been suggesting its state-owned firms to either avoid or phase out the services of the 'Big Four' accounting firms. But after the China-US audit deal last year, which prevented the ouster of 200 Chinese firms off the American exchanges, analysts said that the United States and China could co-exist despite competitive business practices in the areas of technology and commerce.</p>

<p>In December, the US Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)&nbsp;completed its first-ever on-site work paper inspection of some of the largest Chinese companies.

India's market regulator seeks details of loans and securities of Adani companies

<p>A judge in the United States ruled that the victims of the 9/11 attacks cannot claim $3.5 billion in assets that belong to Afghanistan's central bank. These funds, now claimed by Afghanistan's Taliban government, are frozen in different banking institutions in the United States. The judge reasoned that allowing this claim would be akin to legitimacy to Afghanistan's Taliban government.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Judge George Daniels said he was "constitutionally restrained" from approving access to the funds.</p>

<p>The suicide plane attacks on the World Trade Centre in New York on September 11, 2001, claimed about 3,000 lives while wounding several thousand. At the time of the attacks, the Taliban was ruling Afghanistan and had allowed al-Qaeda terrorists led by Osama bin Laden to operate from the territories under its administration.</p>

<p>The judge further reasoned that the Biden administration does not recognise the Taliban, which means that the US courts do not have the power to pass rulings in related matters.</p>

<p>The judge's ruling goes against the individuals who claimed part of the $7 billion of Afghanistan's central bank funds frozen at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.</p>

<p>"This decision deprives over 10,000 members of the 9/11 community of their right to collect compensation from the Taliban," said Lee Wolosky, a lawyer who argued for victims' compensation. "We believe it is wrongly decided and will appeal."</p>

US court refuses compensation to 9/11 victims from frozen Afghan assets

<p>Meta's new verification business could generate a whopping 12 million subscribers for Mark Zuckerberg-owned social media empire, a Bank of America research note said. This makes for a $1.7 billion in "high-margin revenue in 2024", the research note claimed. The Menlo Park, California-headquartered social media conglomerate is testing its new subscription service in Australia and New Zealand months after Twitter and Snapchat announced their head start in paid verification social media business.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is Meta's paid verification service?</strong></h2>

<p>The service, announced by Meta Inc. CEO Mark Zuckerberg last week, has been pitched as a way to increase "authenticity and security" across the Meta platforms; Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and Meta Quest. At present, the service starts at $11.99 per month. This entails a verification badge and identity verification features and related tools. The service is under testing in Australia and New Zealand.</p>

<h2><strong>Meta's paid blue tick service: How is the market reacting?</strong></h2>

<p>Pakistan's TV media regulator on Wednesday banned the country's news channels from broadcasting terrorist attacks. The Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) announced the ban by adding&nbsp;that media channels will air the information as may be "warranted by the security agency in charge of the operation", indicating that media channels won't be able to operate as per their free will during situations of conflict adding up as terror attacks.&nbsp;The directives came days&nbsp;after an earlier order urging TV channels to adhere to the Electronic Media Code of Conduct 2015.</p>

<p>"During any ongoing rescue or security operation, identity and number of victims or other important information shall not be revealed unless the same is warranted by the rescue or security agency incharge of the operation," the body said in its order.&nbsp;</p>

Pakistan orders news channels to toe the line, bans from covering terror attacks

<p>India and Italy are likely to discuss in detail the bilateral defence cooperation as part of the formal agenda of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's visit to India this month, reports said. Meloni is the chief guest at the Raisina Dialogue conference on March 2 in New Delhi. Meloni's India visit will entail&nbsp;a series of high-profile meetings, including with India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The reports delving into India-Italy defence cooperation&nbsp;emerge&nbsp;less than a week after India's defence minister Rajnath Singh held talks with Italian State Secretary for Defence Matteo Perego Di Cremnago in Bengaluru on the sidelines of the Aero India show, the first such visit in several years.</p>

<p>"A general agreement on bilateral cooperation in the defence sector [is being discussed]," The Hindu newspaper cited a diplomatic source as saying.&nbsp;The source cited by the paper added that if the talks do not conclude during Meloni’s visit in March, the agreement will be ready for signing during her next visit to India in September for the G-20 summit.</p>

<p>Giorgia Meloni will be the third Italian Prime Minister to visit India in the last ten years after Paolo Gentiloni in 2017, and Giuseppe Conte in 2018.</p>

<h2><strong>India-Italy&nbsp;ties: A difficult recent past embedded in an honoured history</strong></h2>

<p>India-Italy ties nosedived significantly during 2012-2015 over the arrest of two Italian marines for the killing of two Kerala fishermen&nbsp;off the Indian coast. Rome also vetoed New Delhi's bid to join the Missile Technology Control Regime shortly after.</p>

<p>However, the last few years have seen a continuous effort being made by the two&nbsp;sides to put the ghosts of a difficult recent past behind them. In the case of the Italian marines,&nbsp;the Modi government decided to send the marines back to Italy. The case was resolved mutually at the Permanent Court of Arbitration, which said that the marines had immunity when they shot at the Indian fishermen and were not under Indian jurisdiction. India chose not to appeal the verdict.</p>

Morning Brief: Fresh earthquake jolts Turkey-Syria, top Chinese diplomat to visit Moscow and more

<p>Leonardo da Vinci, Italian polymath and legendary artist, explored the "attraction of one object to another" to deconstruct the science of gravity a century before physicist&nbsp;Galileo Galilei and two centuries before Isaac Newton, a new study has revealed. The results of the study by the scientists at the California Institute of Technology said&nbsp;that Leonardo did detailed experiments that sought to throw light on&nbsp;the nature of gravity.</p>

<p>"Nothing could stop him," Morteza Gharib, an author of the paper and a professor of aeronautics at California Institute of Technology, said in an interview while delving into the study published this month in the journal 'Leonardo'. "He was far ahead in his thinking. It could not wait for the future."</p>

<p>Leonardo has long been famous for his versatile contribution to humanity as an artist, which also includes sketches of flying machines and fighting vehicles. He also made advances in geology, optics, anatomy and engineering.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><b>Leonardo da Vinci's gravity genius: How was it discovered?</b></h2>

<p>Morteza Gharib said that he learned of Leonardo’s gravity experiments while examining an online version of The Codex Arundel, named after a British collector, the Earl of Arundel, who acquired it early in the 17th century.</p>

<p>According to Walter Isaacson, a da Vinci biographer,&nbsp;more than 7,200 pages of Leonardo’s notes and scribbles survive to this day. Da Vinci composed a collection of hundreds of papers between 1478 and 1518, up until a year before his death in 1519.&nbsp;The papers are housed in the British Library. The collection features his famous mirror-writing as well as the diagrams, drawings and texts covering a range of topics in art and science.</p>

<p>"A mysterious triangle", as Gharib called it, caught the attention of the scientists. It reportedly showed an adjoining pitcher and, pouring from its spout, a series of circles that formed the triangle’s hypotenuse. Gharib used a computer program to flip the triangle and the adjacent areas of backward writing.</p>

<p>The static image was then brought to life. "I could see motion," Gharib recalled in the interview. "I could see him pouring stuff out."</p>

<p>The pitcher experiment, Gharib said, established&nbsp;that gravity was a constant force that led to the falling of pitcher's contents with an increasing pace. Leonardo illustrated the gain as the pitcher’s contents falling lower and lower over time while succeeding in deconstructing the gravity.</p>

<p>Gharib said that da Vinci&nbsp;was able to calculate the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 per cent of the modern value.</p>

<p>"It’s mind boggling," Gharib said. "That’s the beauty of what Leonardo does."</p>

Morteza Gharib said that he learned of Leonardo’s gravity experiments while examining an online version of The Codex Arundel, named after a British collector, the Earl of Arundel, who acquired it early in the 17th century. According to Walter Isaacson, a da Vinci biographer, more than 7,200 pages of Leonardo’s notes and scribbles survive to this day. Da Vinci composed a collection of hundreds of papers between 1478 and 1518, up until a year before his death in 1519. The papers are housed in the British Library. The collection features his famous mirror-writing as well as the diagrams, drawings and texts covering a range of topics in art and science. "A mysterious triangle", as Gharib called it, caught the attention of the scientists. It reportedly showed an adjoining pitcher and, pouring from its spout, a series of circles that formed the triangle’s hypotenuse. Gharib used a computer program to flip the triangle and the adjacent areas of backward writing. The static image was then brought to life. "I could see motion," Gharib recalled in the interview. "I could see him pouring stuff out." The pitcher experiment, Gharib said, established that gravity was a constant force that led to the falling of pitcher's contents with an increasing pace. Leonardo illustrated the gain as the pitcher’s contents falling lower and lower over time while succeeding in deconstructing the gravity. Gharib said that da Vinci was able to calculate the gravitational constant to an accuracy within 10 per cent of the modern value. "It’s mind boggling," Gharib said. "That’s the beauty of what Leonardo does."

Leonardo da Vinci pulled off gravity genius two centuries before Newton, study reveals

<p>In stark contrast to the optics of US President Joe Biden's visit to war-torn Ukraine capital Kyiv on February 20, Wang Yi, the top Beijing&nbsp;diplomat appointed Chinese leader Xi Jinping's top foreign policy adviser last month, is scheduled to visit Moscow this week. The visit coincides&nbsp;one year of Russia's initiation of 'special military operations' in Ukraine, which quickly amplified into a full-fledged war between the two sides.</p>

<p>Wang Yi holds the diplomatic distinction of being Beijing's man in the corridors of power&nbsp;of the United States as a former Chinese ambassador in Washington DC. Wang Yi is the current director of the Central Foreign Affairs Commission, one of the&nbsp;bodies of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) responsible for the executive functioning of Beijing's foreign policy. While he is not the foreign minister, it is under Wang Yi's directorship of the CCP's Central Foreign Affairs Committee that China's foreign policy is formulated at present. In fact, the country's foreign minister Qin Gang, who took office in December 2022, reports to Wang Yi. Therefore, in China, the foreign minister can well be the second highest-ranked foreign policy functionary,&nbsp;with the first being the Central Foreign Affairs Committee chairperson.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Kremlin&nbsp;said on February 20th that it does not "rule out" a meeting between Wang and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
