Iran and China Sign 'Historic' 25-Year $400 Bln Strategic Partnership Agreement

The signing ceremony came after years of intense behind-the-scenes negotiations, with Chinese President Xi Jinping first proposing a draft version of a comprehensive agreement with Tehran during his 2016 visit to Iran.

The deal reportedly envisions increasing bilateral trade over 10-fold to $600 billion per year, and promises Iran Chinese investment of as much as $400 billion into the Middle Eastern nation's oil, gas, petrochemicals, renewable energy and nuclear energy infrastructure, with Tehran committing to becoming a major reliable source of energy for Beijing.

It is not the first time Ever Given has been in trouble, her steering failed last year when transiting the River Elbe and she crushed a ferry that was, thankfully empty. Only yesterday her sister Ever Gentle tangled with a gantry crane in Taipei, took 2 hours to free the crane from the funnel, both very heavily damaged.

REVEALED: Who ACTUALLY paid for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be developed amid EU scandal

"Protect people from more than 95 percent of Covid cases and 100 percent of severe infections."


‘vaccine for the world".


ASTRAZENECA, with the help of partnered scientists at Oxford University, has created one of the world's most successful Covid jabs. But who really paid for the AstraZeneca vaccine to be developed?

Oxford University and AstraZeneca's collaboration has produced a product which can protect people from more than 95 percent of Covid cases and 100 percent of severe infections. AstraZeneca also sells the jab at cost, making it a viable candidate for many poorer nations and vital in bringing an end to the pandemic. The jab is able to be stored in a normal refrigerator, unlike the Pfizer jab, which has helped keep the costs down.


One dose costs about £3.60 compared with the £25 pricing of a jab from US-based Moderna or about £15 for a Pfizer vaccine.

The kind-heart gesture from the firm has seen it sacrifice more than £21billion of revenues, prompting the World Health Organisation to describe the jab as a ‘"vaccine for the world".

A spokesman said: "From the outset AstraZeneca’s approach has been to treat the development of the vaccine as a response to a global public health emergency and we continue to operate in that same public spirit.

"We are absolutely committed to make the vaccine available to as many countries as possible at no profit during the period of the pandemic to support broad and equitable access around the world."

Ken: perhaps you also remember that your house cost a rational multiple of your salary, and that you could afford the repayments even at 15%.

You might remember how a nurse, or an electrician, or a policeman could easily afford a 3 bedroom semi around their friends & family, and that one partner could stay at home to welcome the kids home from school, as opposed to the both of you have to work 10 hours a day to service an astronomical mortgage debt just for the average property.

Ken : those were the days... by default interest rates could not go back to those levels.. not at least for another est 10-20yrs

The economy is opening up .... interesting to see what barclays has in store for us all. Plenty of consolidation at this 181-184p level.

I would like to see the ftse fly up to 7000 and break through with conviction !
