Russia & China speed up de-dollarization process: most trade no longer conducted in greenbacks
After years of talking about abandoning the US dollar, Russia and China are doing it for real. In the first quarter of 2020, the share of the dollar in trade between the countries fell below 50 percent for the first time.
To give an indication of the scale of the adjustment, just four years ago the greenback accounted for over 90 percent of their currency settlements.
According to Moscow daily Izvestia, the share has dropped to 46 percent, tumbling from 75 percent in 2018. The 54 percent of non-dollar trade is made up of Chinese yuan (17 percent), the euro (30 percent), and the Russian ruble (7 percent).
Virginia rapist released from prison over Covid — Murders his accuser
Ibrahim Bouaichi, 33, was indicted last year on charges of rape, strangulation, and abduction of Karla Elizabeth Dominguez Gonzalez, who testified against him in Alexandria District Court in December.
Bouaichi was released April 9 on a $25,000 bond after his lawyers argued the pandemic posed a threat to Bouaichi’s safety. More than three months after his release, Bouaichi tracked down Gonzalez and fatally shot her on July 29.
Circuit Court Judge Nolan Dawkins released Bouaichi on the condition that he only leave his Maryland home to meet with his lawyers or pretrial services officials.
Shamima Begum: IS bride ‘would face death penalty in Bangladesh’
IS bride Shamima Begum would "face the death penalty" for terrorism if she came to Bangladesh, the country's foreign minister has said.
Abdul Momen told the BBC that Ms Begum has "nothing to do" with his country.
The 19-year-old, who left east London to join the Islamic State group in 2015, was stripped of her British citizenship in February.
Her claim to Bangladeshi nationality through her mother is believed to have informed the Home Office's decision.
Under international law, it is illegal to deprive nationals of citizenship if to do so would leave them stateless.
Speaking to the BBC, Ms Begum's lawyer, Tasnime Akunjee, told the BBC "in no way is she Bangladesh's problem".
Ms Begum is appealing against the Home Office's decision.
Soon afterwards, she gave birth to a boy called Jarrah. He died of pneumonia in March at less than three weeks of age. She had two other children who also died.
