The financial services industry has a history of furthering inequality — both within the business and the wider public — and that’s something that consumers want it to address.

Danny Masterson, known for his roles in «That 70's Show» and «The Ranch,» has been sentenced to 30 years in prison after being found guilty of two out of three forcible rape charges earlier this year. The actor, who maintains his innocence, faced a potential sentence of 30 years to life behind bars. Masterson was accused of raping three women at his Hollywood Hills residence between 2001 and 2003, coinciding with his time on «That 70's Show.» The jury convicted him of raping two women in 2003 but could not reach a verdict on an allegation from November 2001 involving a former girlfriend, despite jurors leaning towards conviction. During the sentencing, the three victims described the profound impact of Masterson's actions on their lives, with one labeling him «a true coward and heartless monster.» Another victim revealed the lasting trauma, stating, «Every time I think I’m okay, that rape comes back to me.» The third victim disclosed her diagnosis of PTSD. Masterson, appearing in a suit with a full-grown beard and slicked-back hair, remained silent during his sentencing. Several members of Masterson's family, including his wife Bijou Phillips and siblings Alanna Masterson, Christopher Masterson, and Jordan Masterson, were present in the courtroom, visibly emotional. Judge Charlaine Olmedo addressed Masterson, stating, «Mr.

G20 members late Thursday agreed to make an effort towards the “phasedown of unabated coal power”, staying with the text of the Bali declaration on the issue. This was decided at the Sherpa-level deliberations that aim to finalise the text for the Leaders’ Declaration. India’s proposal to expand it to “phase-down of fossil fuel” ran into stiff opposition from Saudi Arabia and Russia, people aware of the deliberations told ET. The “phasedown of coal power”, agreed on in earlier declarations, is in the context of energy efficiency and in line with national circumstances, and does not impinge on India’s energy security, the people said. The cue was taken from the Bali declaration where the phrase “phasedown of unabated coal power” found agreement among all members. The language has also been used earlier in the UNFCCC Glasgow Climate Pact and the Sharm el-Sheikh Implementation Plan. Unabated coal power is generally understood to mean coal power without carbon capture utilisation and storage. There was no mention of a phasedown of coal power at the outcome of the G20 Energy Transition ministerial meeting in July, a prelude to the leaders’ summit.

NEW DELHI : A blanket ban on crypto assets may be hard to pull off, and nations must instead apply rules on money laundering and terror finance to these assets and service providers, an influential policy paper said, while noting that increased adoption of these assets could undermine monetary policy transmission. The joint paper from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and G20’s risk watchdog, the Financial Stability Board (FSB), has attempted to offer a roadmap for regulating crypto assets and helping nations integrate virtual digital assets into their digital financial systems.

Yet, at this moment when the need for collaborative action is so apparent, geopolitical competition and confrontation risks are outpacing cooperation.

New Delhi: The regulatory framework for professionals valuing the assets of distressed companies will continue to be strengthened as a decision on whether to salvage an insolvent business or to liquidate it depends on the valuation of its assets, the ministry of corporate affairs said in its latest monthly update.

Since the day Donald Trump supporters rampaged through the Capitol in 2021, legal scholars have pondered whether a post-Civil War clause in the Constitution that disqualifies insurrectionists from public office can prevent him from ever reclaiming the presidency. As polls show Trump surging toward another Republican presidential nomination, the question of his eligibility under the 14th Amendment is no longer merely academic. A left-leaning legal watchdog on Wednesday filed suit in Denver demanding that Trump be excluded from Colorado’s primary ballot, the first of an expected barrage of challenges, petitions and lawsuits seeking to disqualify the former president across the electoral map.

climate change, discussions around sustainable development have become the global chorus of our times. However, within these discourses, a critical reality is often glossed over: the disproportionate responsibility of global emissions.
