BANGKOK – Shares were mixed Monday in Asia as China and South Korea reported lower numbers of new coronavirus cases, while new infections in the U.S.

and worldwide surged sharply. Tokyo, Hong Kong and Seoul declined while Shanghai edged higher. Sydney's S&P/ASX 200 edged 0.1 percent higher to 5,946.50, getting a boost from reports that consumer spending has rebounded more quickly from their pandemic shocks than expected, analysts said.“However, that partly reflects pent-up demand and the strong support from government initiatives.

Employment income has slumped and we only expect spending to return to pre-virus levels next year,” Marcel Thieliant of Capital Economics said in a report.

Women's World Cup cricket teams can use backroom staff as fielders in Covid outbreak
Women's Cricket World Cup becomes its latest victim.Teams have been told that in the event of an outbreak, they'll be allowed to use backroom staff as fielders, providing they're female of course.According to the International Cricket Council (ICC), teams will be expected to fulfil their fixtures even if they have as little as nine fit players.The tournament, which is taking place in New Zealand, has some of the world's strictest Covid protocols.The eight teams involved have squads of 15 players, with a maximum of three travelling reserves.If a game is not played and cannot be rescheduled, it will be abandoned and the points shared.Given that all persons entering New Zealand must quarantine for a week in a hotel, there's little point in sending for reinforcements in the event of an outbreak.As such, the ICC have decided to allow staff members to get involved instead, potentially making for a bizarre spectacle - though teams do have the option of rejecting to play a match if they have fewer than 11 players available.Which Premier League team would benefit the most from fielding members of their backroom staff? Let us know in the comments section..."From a Covid perspective, we need to be a little bit flexible, as far as the way in which we manage the game to take into account these unique circumstances," said ICC head of events Chris Tetley."It's important that we do everything we can to try and maximise opportunities for the best players in the world to show their skills at a World Cup."The tournament on March 4 and will run for one month, with the final taking place on April 3.

Speaker to complain to IGP over torches in Parliament
COLOMBO (News 1st); Sri Lanka’s Parliament speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardena told the house on Friday (25) that a complaint will be filed with the Inspector General of Police to conduct an investigation into the incident where MP Harin Fernando was seen using a torch inside the chamber.He said voicing protest over an issue is not the problem at hand and, the issue is that public officers were prevented from carrying out their duties.The Parliamentary debate was adjourned for 10 minutes on 24th February due to MP Harin Fernando’s attempt to convince the Parliament of the impact of power cuts on the public, by bringing a torch to the Parliament.The Leader of the House, Dinesh Gunawardana informed the House that a confrontation broke out when the Police had requested to examine an object brought by an MP to the Parliament and emphasized that such actions can have consequences as MPs are not permitted to bring such objects.SJB MP Fernando, responded to the allegations stated that a power cut could occur when he is using the washroom, and that is the reason why he brought three torches to use.Minister Gunawardana responded stating that an investigation should be conducted as such objects are not permitted within the Parliament, and even if there is a power cut, it’s clear that this action is unlawful and goes against parliamentary practices.This object could prove to be a security risk and must be banned, he added.
