<b class="place_cont">Paris, France:</b>
<p>Alphabet's Google agreed to make changes to some of its widely-used online advertising services under an unprecedented settlement with France's antitrust watchdog released on Monday.</p>
<p>The authority also fined the Mountain View, California-based company 220 million euros ($267.48 million) after a probe found it abused its market power in the intricate ad business online, where some of its tools have become almost essential for large publishers.</p>
<p>The French watchdog's decision is an attempt to rebalance the power struggle over online ads in favour of publishers, which held sway in the business in the pre-Internet era, but lost considerable ground with the rise of Google and Facebook.</p>
<p>The watchdog said the decision opens the way for publishers who felt disadvantaged to seek damages from Google. Many publishers globally have expressed unhappiness over ad practices employed by the tech giants.</p>
<p>"The decision to sanction Google is of particular significance because it's the first decision in the world focusing on the complex algorithmic auction processes on which the online ad business relies," said France's antitrust chief Isabelle de Silva.</p>
<p>De Silva said the fine was reduced because of the settlement, but she did not give specifics.</p>
<p>A Google spokesperson didn't immediately reply to a request seeking comment. The watchdog said Google will not seek to appeal the authority's decision in court.</p>
<p>The French competition authority's investigation focused on the tools Google offers publishers online to sell and manage online ads. The settlement with Google shows the firm is ready bend to antitrust pressure and make operational changes to some of its most popular ad business tools, whose success relies on the trove of data it has amassed over the years.The watchdog found that Google Ad Manager, the firm's ad management platform for large publishers favoured AdX, its own online ad marketplace, where publishers sell space to advertisers in real-time. It did so notably by providing AdX strategic data such as the winning bidding prices. The watchdog also said Google AdX offered Google Ad Manager superior interoperability features than for rival so-called sell-side platforms (SSP), the crucial technology that allows publishers to manage advertising spaces available for purchase, fill them with ads and receive revenue.</p>
<p>Under the terms of the settlement, Google offered commitments to improve the interoperability of Google Ad Manager services with third-party ad server and ad space sales platform, the watchdog said.</p>
<p>The watchdog said it had accepted these commitments and that they were binding in its decision. The case follows a complaint by News Corp., French news publishing group Le Figaro and Belgian press group Rossel</p>

<b class="place_cont">Paris, France:</b>
<p>France's competition regulator on Monday fined Google 220 million euros ($267 million) after finding it had abused its dominant market position for placing online ads, the latest move by European authorities to take tougher stances against US tech giants.</p>
<p>The penalty is part of a settlement reached after three media groups -- News Corp, French daily Le Figaro and Belgium's Groupe Rossel -- accused Google of effectively having a monopoly over online ad sales.</p>
<p>The Autorite de la Concurrence determined that Google gave preferential treatment to its own ad auction service AdX and Doubleclick Ad Exchange platform, a real-time auction platform.</p>
<p>Clients trying to place ads on internet sites or mobile apps using rival platforms often found they were paying more than those using both of Google's services, since regrouped under the Google Ad Manager brand.</p>
<p>The regulator said Google did not contest its findings and has committed to operational changes including improved interoperability with third-party ad placement providers.</p>
<p>"It is the first ruling in the world to scrutinise the complex algorithmic processes for the auctions that determine online 'display' advertising," the authority's president Isabelle de Silva said in a statement.</p>

Qantas Seeks Details On "Disturbing" Criminal Gang Report

<p class="ins_instory_dv_caption sp_b">Qantas shares fell 1.9% Monday, the most in a week.</p>
</div>
<p>Qantas Airways Ltd. has asked Australian law-enforcement agencies for details of an intelligence report that is said to suggest the airline has been infiltrated by organized criminal gangs importing drugs.</p>
<p>Qantas wrote to the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, the Federal Police, Border Force and Aviation and Maritime Security after Nine Entertainment Co. publications said an intelligence operation called Project Brunello found potentially 150 employees had links to organized crime.</p>
<p>Among the most concerning is a mid-level Qantas manager at Sydney airport who is affiliated with a motorcycle gang, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, which is part of Nine. Intelligence suggests the man recruited criminals into the airline to help import narcotics, the newspaper said. The suspected wrongdoing represents a very high threat to the Australian border, it said.</p>
<p>Qantas Chief Security Officer Luke Bramah said the claims were "disturbing" and that the company follows all of the government's vetting procedures. He said Qantas hasn't been told about any investigations into employees or of the existence of a report suggesting some are linked to crime.</p>
<p>"If concerns are raised regarding any of our employees, we will actively support their investigation and take appropriate action," Bramah said in a statement. "While Australia does have world-leading aviation security, of course more can be done to help reduce the risk of people working in the industry trying to take advantage of their position to commit crimes such as drug smuggling."</p>
<p>The Sydney Morning Herald said individuals identified include a Hells Angels-linked figure in the Northern Territory working as a Qantas contractor and a freight contractor in Perth who used his "trusted insider status" to make large drug deliveries.</p>
<p>Qantas shares fell 1.9% Monday, the most in a week.</p>

China's Three-Child Policy Unlikely To Boost Birthrate: Moody's

<p>A new Chinese policy allowing couples to have up to three children could support fertility but was unlikely to dramatically change its birthrate, rating agency Moody's Investors Service said on Monday.</p>
<p>China announced on May 31 that married couples may have up to three children in a major shift from a limit of two after recent data showed a dramatic decline in births in the world's most populous country.</p>
<p>Moody's said the reform highlighted the risk of aging across emerging markets in Asia.</p>
<p>"Although China's new policy allowing couples to have up to three children could support fertility, it is unlikely to dramatically change the national birthrate, meaning that aging will remain a credit-negative constraint", Moody's said.</p>
<p>Shares in birth- and fertility-related companies listed in Hong Kong and mainland China fell after the Moody's statement.</p>
<p>The decision to allow families to have up to three children was met with scepticism in China, with people expressing doubts on social media as to whether it would make much difference, and calls for details on what promised "supportive measures" would be available.</p>
<p>China scrapped its decades-old one-child policy in 2016, replacing it with a two-child limit to try to avoid the risks to its economy from a rapidly aging population.</p>
<p>But that failed to result in a sustained surge in births given the high cost of raising children, especially in cities.</p>

<p>We’re told that serious illness in Covid-19 presents <strong>pneumonia</strong> and accompanying <strong>respiratory insufficiency</strong>.

We’re also told that people who suffer deteriorating <strong>respiratory failure</strong> and who do not receive<strong> intensive care</strong>, develop acute <strong>respiratory distress</strong> syndrome with <strong>severe breathlessness.</strong></p>
<p>Intravenous <strong>midazolam</strong> hydrochloride is associated with <strong>respiratory depression</strong> and <strong>respiratory arrest</strong>, especially when used for <strong>sedation in noncritical care</strong> settings. When this was not recognised promptly and treated effectively, <strong>death</strong> or hypoxic encephalopathy can follow. </p>
