Chinese state media has released footage showing a Type 052D destroyer launching the YJ-20 hypersonic anti-ship missile for the first time. Previously associated with larger cruisers, the deployment of the so-called "carrier-killer" missile on standard destroyers significantly expands China's maritime strike capabilities and strengthens its naval deterrence.

An IndiGo flyer was left shocked after he discovered a screw inside his sandwich which was served on the flight. Taking to social media platform Reddit, the passenger shared his terrible experience. He said he was served spinach and corn sandwich onboard a flight from Bengaluru to Chennai on February 1. However, he opened it only after reaching the destination.

IndiGo flyer finds screw in sandwich served on flight. Not compensated because...

US President-elect Donald trump warned of &nbsp;&#39;consequences&#39; for American companies that relocate out of the country, as he announed a deal with air conditioning manufacturer Carrier to retain jobs in the US.

Trump said that the firms could move states and negotiate deals with different states but he would make leaving the country difficult.

&quot;Companies are not going to leave the United States anymore without consequences. Not going to happen,&quot; the Republican said on a visit to a Carrier Corp plant in Indianapolis.

&quot;They can leave from state to state, and negotiate deals with different states, but leaving the country will be very, very difficult,&quot; Trump added.

The billionare had promised in his presidential campaign to impose a 35 percent import tariff on firms that took their business to places like Mexico or Aisa where cost of labour is cheap.

He said that he had beein urging Carrier not to shift thousands of jobs to Mexico. He further warned that if the relocated, his administration would impose heavy tarriffs on Carrier products as they made their way back into the United States. But he did not mention if Carrier&#39;s parent company, United Technologies, would face any punishment for continuing with plans to move 1,300 other Indiana jobs to Mexico.

&quot;But I called Greg (Hayes, UTC&#39;s chairman) and I said it&#39;s really important, we have to do something because you have a lot of people leaving and you have to understand we can&#39;t allow this to happen anymore with our country,&quot; Trump said as he recalled an early exchange with the firm&#39;s top executive, news agency AFP reported.

The state offered Carrier $7 million in incentives over 10 years, &quot;contingent upon factors including employment, job retention and capital investment,&quot; the company said in a statement.

Trump said his negotiations with the maker of air conditioning units were a model for how he would approach other U.S. businesses that are tempted to move jobs overseas to save money, Reuters reported.

&quot;I just want to let all of the other companies know that we&#39;re going to do great things for business. There&#39;s no reason for them to leave anymore,&quot; Trump said.

Pence said the deal will keep about 1,100 jobs in &quot;the heart of the heartland.&quot;

&quot;This is a great day for Indiana and it&#39;s a great day for working people all across the United States of America,&quot; Pence said.

The deal is seen as an extraordinary industry intervention by a president-elect.

But liberal Senator Bernie Sanders said the deal should worry Americans.

Carrier &quot;took Trump hostage and won,&quot; Sanders said in an op-ed he wrote for The Washington Post.

Trump &quot;endangered&quot; other US jobs, Sanders said, &quot;because he has signalled to every corporation in America that they can threaten to offshore jobs in exchange for business-friendly tax benefits and incentives.&quot;

Stay or pay: President-elect Trump warns US companies

Japanese mobile carrier SoftBank announced Wednesday they are planning to sell at least $ 7.9 billion (USD) of its stake in Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba, as it looks to pay down a whopping debt load. 
 
The move will reduce SoftBank&#39;s 32.2 per cent holding in the Chinese company to about 28 per cent with the sale, it said, adding that proceeds would be earmarked to pay down debts. 
 
SoftBank said in a statement it has &quot;approved of a series of capital raising transactions, which involve monetising a portion of the shares of Alibaba&quot;. 
 
The Japanese mobile carrier, led by Masayoshi Son, first made its investment in Alibaba in 2000. 
 
&quot;This investment has been phenomenally successful and, over the past 16 years, we have built a close relationship, working together on 
many exciting projects,&quot; Son said in the statement, adding that the pair would continue to work together. 
 
Led by Son, SoftBank launched an acquisition streak that saw it pick up an assortment of firms, including its $16 billion purchase of US-based mobile giant Sprint. 
 
But the buying spree has put pressure on SoftBank&#39;s finances, and the firm also announced earlier this year it would buy back more than 14 per cent of its stock at a cost of about 500 billion yen. 
 
&nbsp;As per the official statement, Son and Alibaba&#39;s executive chairman Jack Ma will remain on the board of the other&#39;s firms 
 
&quot;Under the leadership of Masayoshi Son, SoftBank has been a highly valued, long-time partner of Alibaba for more than 16 years, and we look forward to continuing our strong partnership together,&quot; Ma said in a separate statement. 
 
&quot;As SoftBank looks to strengthen its own balance sheet, Alibaba determined that it was the best use of our capital to re-invest in our own business through an efficient buyback of a large number of shares in our own company that is accretive to our stockholders.&quot; 
 
SoftBank said Alibaba itself would buy back at least USD 2.0 billion worth of the shares it is selling. 
 
SoftBank has seen its profits boosted thanks to Alibaba&#39;s record USD 25 billion market debut in 2014 in New York. 
Today&#39;s announcement came after the Chinese online giant disclosed last week that US securities regulators were probing its accounting for possible violations of US securities laws. 
 
SoftBank shares rose more than two percent shortly after the opening bell today. 
 
Alibaba&#39;s US-listed shares declined 3.1 per cent yesterday after the announcement of SoftBank&#39;s planned share sale. (AFP)
