This is the face of a near unprecedented health crisis unfolding across Pakistan – but for many, help is not arriving.

Asian policymakers must also prepare for when volatile market moves destabilise regional economies, he added.

☆ This Vietnamese Dish Is Comforting, Luminous and Striking. It’s Also Forgiving.

My first bites of bánh cuốn were hardly intentional — they came from a banh mi shop tucked in Houston’s Third Ward. I’d been working at a day care, and also a stadium’s parking company, and most of what I ate came from this tiny Vietnamese spot. Several weeks after that he just handed me a bag of boxed bánh cuốn, with separate tins for fish sauce and bean sprouts, alongside an edict: enough. Eating streetside bánh cuốn in the morning, in the hubbub of other diners, over a stool and folding table, is basically a miracle. The thickness of your bánh cuốn might vary from restaurant to restaurant, and also your fillings, but you’ll still find yourself won over from iteration to iteration.

Narrator: A 2016 Bloomberg investigation found that Walmart, CVS, and Target's aloe products contain no evidence of aloe at all. When they "aloe gel," is it a gel that's made from blending up the whole leaf, or is it truly just pure aloe gel?

În Dubai, oraşul care găzduieşte cel mai înalt zgârie-nori şi cel mai mare mall din lume, s-a deschis o altă atracţie record: cea mai adâncă piscină de scufundări. Aceasta are 60 de metri adâncime şi face parte dintr-un oraş subacvatic. "Deep Dive Dubai" este umplută cu 14 milioane de litri de apă, echivalentul a șase piscine olimpice. Aceasta a doborât recordul stabilit de piscina "Deepspot" din Polonia, care măsoară 45,5 metri adâncime. Întregul oraş subacvatic este construit în formă de stridie, are o suprafaţă de 1.500 de metri pătrați, iar temperatura apei este menținută la 30 de grade Celsius.

Datele statistice arată că în prima jumătate a acestui an au fost vămuite peste 20 de mii autoturisme, de aproape două ori mai mult faţă de aceeaşi perioadă a anului trecut. Avem o încasare de 10 milioane de lei, e o cifră nesemnificativă per total din cifra de 590 de milioane încasate pe toate autoturismele. Totodată, doar puţin peste 1600 dintre ele sunt mai vechi de 10 ani. "Când vorbeşti cu oamenii, îi întrebi, vreai să cumperi maşină mai veche de 10 ani? Şi expertul economic Veaceslav Ioniţă consideră că actuala formulă de calcul pentru determinarea costului de vămuire a maşinilor mai vechi este inechitabilă.

☆ Alegeri în Bulgaria: Incertitudinea politică s-ar putea prelungi

Noul partid anti-sistem din Bulgaria, Există un Astfel de Popor (ITN), condus de un cântăreț și moderator de talk-show-uri, a ajuns pe primul loc într-un sondaj realizat înainte de alegerile anticipate de duminică, relatează Reuters, citat de digi24.ro. Totuși, sondajul realizat de Alpha Research din Sofia arată că, deși sprijinul pentru mai multe formațiuni anti-sistem a crescut, ele nu ar putea să formeze un guvern. „În pofida îmbunătăţirii poziţiilor, partidele care contestă starea sistemului, nu obţin cele 120 de voturi necesare pentru o majoritate. În acest context, găsirea formulei coaliţiei probabil va fi elementul central în viitoarea legislatură, la fel cum a fost şi după scrutinul din aprilie”, potrivit analiștilor Institutului Alpha Research. ITN a fost surpriza alegerilor din aprilie, clasându-se pe locul doi și depășind Partidul Socialist, unul dintre partidele tradiționale bulgare.
