    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
  1. World – Islamist terror attack in Vienna leaves four dead – Austria was grappling Tuesday (November 3) with a brutal attack in which a gunman, whom officials described as an Islamic State sympathiser and who was wearing a fake explosive device, opened fire on Monday (November 2) night in the heart of Vienna, the capital, killing at least four people. By Tuesday morning, around 1,000 police officers had fanned out across the city. Austrian police raided 18 locations and detained 14 people associated with the assailant who are being questioned. Later in the day, IS claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement from the group’s Amaq News Agency posted on Telegram. The statement was accompanied by a picture of a bearded man, named Abu Dagnah Al-Albany, saying he attacked crowds in Vienna with a gun and a machine gun, before he was killed himself by Austrian police.
  2. Economy – Exports fall again on global trade woes – India’s merchandise exports slid back into contraction mode in October as struggling global trade continued to face headwinds from the COVID-19 pandemic. Outbound shipments declined 5.4% from a year earlier to $24.82 billion, after a brief respite in September when exports had expanded 6% to snap a six-month-long contraction. Imports of goods also declined by 11.5% in October, taking the overall imports between April to October to $182.29 billion, 36.3% lower than the same period in 2019. Merchandise exports in the first seven months of the current financial year amounted to $150.07 billion, a 19.1% contraction from the year-earlier period.
  3. Economy – PM to meet twenty large global investors – PM Modi will chair a virtual meeting with twenty large global investors managing assets of more than dollar six trillion, on November 5, to reiterate India’s attractiveness as an investment destination. The virtual conference with the investors, which include several sovereign wealth funds and pension funds, will be followed by one-on-one interactions for each of them with the PM over the next two weeks. Some of the prominent funds that have confirmed attendance are CDPQ, CPP Investments, GIC, Japan Bank for International Co-operation, Mubadala, New York Life, Qatar Investment Authority, Temasek and U.S. International Development Finance Corporation.
  4. Polity & Governance – More children to get fortified rice – Children in anganwadis and government schools could soon be eating rice infused with iron, folic acid and vitamin B-12. In a bid to combat chronic anaemia and undernutrition, the government is planning to distribute fortified rice through the Integrated Child Development Services and Mid-Day Meal schemes across the country from next year, with a special focus on 112 aspirational districts. However, an existing pilot scheme to distribute fortified rice through the Public Distribution System in 15 districts has only been implemented in five districts so far, although more than half the project duration is over.
  5. COVID-19 – At 46k, new Covid cases show slight rise for 3rd day – For the third straight day, India reported slightly higher number of coronavirus cases than on the corresponding days of the previous week, in what could be early signs of a flattening of the Covid curve, which had been falling sharply for seven weeks running. The country recorded 46,333 fresh Covid-19 cases on Tuesday (November 3), the highest in the past three days, and higher than the count reported last Tuesday (43,107). Covid-19 case counts on the previous two days, were also slightly higher than the tallies recorded on the same days of the previous week. Covid-19 cases usually follow a cyclical weekly pattern, with the lowest counts always coming on Mondays, and cases generally rising gradually through the week thereafter. Chhattisgarh posted the second highest number of fatalities at 58 after Maharashtra. Kerala had the highest number of new cases at 6,862, followed by Delhi with 6,725.
  6. Economy – High home loan demand triggers interest rate war – A surge in demand for home loans in October has triggered a rate war. Kotak Bank is now offering home loans at 6.75% — the second reduction in less than a month. A host of banks are offering loans at 6.8% to 7%, resulting in the spread between these and government bonds narrowing down to 80 basis points (100bps = 1 percentage point). Banks say that home loans are a safe bet and this is the only segment growing in double digits. Demand has been triggered because of work from home (WFH) needs, discounts by builders, reduction in stamp duty rates and interest rates being at an all-time low. The frequent changes in pricing among lenders seem to indicate that a rate war is brewing.
  7. COVID-19 – India may opt for rolling reviews to fast-track vax nod – India may also consider rolling reviews for Covid-19 vaccine, particularly the Oxford-AstraZeneca developed candidate which is already under accelerated review of the UK health regulator, to further fast-track the approval of the shots in the current pandemic situation. A rolling review will enable the regulator to examine the data generated through clinical trials on a real-time basis instead of waiting for the trial to be over and full data to be available for evaluation at once. While the option of emergency authorisation is open, the rolling review can speed this up as the regulator may not need to wait till the end of the Phase 3 trials and data collated thereafter. Serum Institute is conducting immunogenicity trials in India primarily to check the presence of antibodies and their duration.
  8. Economy – Business sentiment rises from record low, up 41% during July-September, says NCAER survey – Business sentiment shot up by 41% during the July-September quarter from a record low in the previous quarter. The think tank’s Business Confidence Index (BCI) rose to 65.5 in the second quarter after recording a massive drop to 46.4 in the first quarter of the ongoing fiscal. However, this was still 36.5% below last year’s levels and the 77.3 seen in the final quarter of FY20. The survey found positive growth in sentiments on three aspects, with the largest improvement in capacity utilisation. About 58% stated that levels were either close to or above optimal in September as compared to 37% in July.  On the other hand, the share of respondents who felt that the investment climate was better compared to the past six months marginally dropped to 14% from 15% in the previous quarter.
  9. Defence – Indian Navy matches skills with three foreign fleets off Vizag – Phase I of the Malabar 2020 naval exercise by India, Australia, Japan and the U.S. began off the coast of Visakhapatnam in the Bay of Bengal on November 3. This is the 24th edition of the exercise that began in 1992 and this time, it is being held in two phases, in the Bay of Bengal and from November 17 to 20 in the Arabian Sea.  The four Navies would conduct a range of high-end training, including air-defence and anti-submarine exercises, aviation, communications and at-sea replenishment between ships.
  10. Economy – PNB halves loan recast target to ₹20,000 crore – Punjab National Bank (PNB) has lowered the debt recast target by 50% to ₹20,000 crore as there was not enough demand for restructuring approved by RBI a couple of months ago. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has permitted one-time restructuring of corporate and personal loans to help entities amid the COVID-19 crisis.

  • On 2 November, organizations and individuals worldwide are encouraged to talk about the unresolved cases in their countries, and write to government and intra-governmental officials to demand action and justice.
  • UNESCO organizes an awareness-raising campaign on the findings of the UNESCO Director-General's biennial Report on the Safety of Journalists and the Danger of Impunity, which catalogues the responses of states to UNESCO’s formal request for updates on progress in cases of killings of journalists and media workers.

History –
  • International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX), a global network of civil society organizations that defend and promote the right to freedom of expression, declared 23 November as the International Day to End Impunity in 2011.
  • The anniversary was chosen to mark the 2009 Ampatuan massacre (also known as the Maguindanao massacre), the single deadliest attack against journalists in recent history, in which 57 individuals were murdered, including 32 journalists and media workers.
  • In December 2013, after substantial lobbying from IFEX members and other civil society defenders of freedom of expression, the 70th plenary meeting of the UN General Assembly passed resolution 68/163, recognizing  November 2 as the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists.
  • The date of the UN day marks the death of Ghislaine Dupont and Claude Verlon, two French journalists killed while reporting in Mali earlier in 2013.
  • IFEX now coordinates the No Impunity Campaign, which advocates year-round for all individuals violently targeted for their free expression.
