Runaway rise in Turkey cases spurs calls for tougher measures
ISTANBUL • Coronavirus deaths in Turkey have risen to a record for the seventh consecutive day and the number of new cases remains high despite efforts by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's government to contain a second wave. Turkey is expected to report this week that its economy bounced back from a sharp coronavirus-induced slump earlier this year. But that recovery, key to Mr Erdogan's sustained political support, could be threatened by the new outbreak. The government introduced tighter measures a week ago, including nightly curfews on the weekends, restrictions on movements of people of non-working age, a move to online schooling and limiting restaurants and cafes to takeaway services. But these have done little to halt a runaway rise in cases and deaths, with Sunday's toll of 185 dead 45 per cent above the peak of the first wave in April, and the number of new cases behind only the United States, India and Brazil - countries with far larger populations. More than 29,000 cases were reported over a 24-hour period. Last Saturday's 30,103 was the highest recorded, but the authorities have been including only asymptomatic cases since last Wednesday. Doctors and opposition politicians have
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai will step down on Jan 20
Ajit Pai Brad Quick | CNBC Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai will step down from his post on Jan. 20, the day President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated, he announced Monday. The announcement means that the FCC could reach a Democratic majority sooner than it would otherwise be able to. Pai's term was slated to expire in June 2021, though Biden will be able to choose a Democrat to chair the commission once in office. Commissioners must be confirmed by the Senate. Pai's decision to step down could have significant implications on net neutrality, an issue that helped define his term as chairman. In 2017, Pai voted with his fellow Republican commissioners to remove rules that prohibited internet providers from blocking or slowing traffic to particular sites and offering higher speed "lanes" at higher prices. Many major internet providers have not yet taken advantage of that rule change, however. "It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve at the Federal Communications Commission, including as Chairman of the FCC over the past four years," Pai said in a statement. "I am grateful to President Trump for giving

Looks like yet another criminal didn't pay attention to the growing number of headlines announcing that law-abiding citizens in greater and greater numbers are deciding it's time to arm themselves with guns — and use them if necessary.What happened?Philadelphia police said a Wingstop in the 2100 block of Cottman Avenue — located in the northeast section of the city — was open for takeout Sunday night and was staffed with three employees when a 53-year-old man walked in around 10:30 p.m. wearing a mask and gloves, WPVI-TV reported.Employees said the man pointed a gun and ordered them to empty the drawer, the station said.But investigators said a customer soon walked into the store while talking on his cellphone, WPVI reported."And that's when the robber pointed a gun at that customer and demanded his cell phone," Chief Inspector Scott Small told the station. "The customer, who is in his late 20s, pulled his gun, fired one shot at the perpetrator, striking him in the neck."The shot was fatal — and the customer who pulled the trigger has a license to carry, WXTF-TV reported.In addition, WXTF said the three employees and the customer all told the same story to police, and
