Moonpig shares jump 25% in first major London tech listing of the year

LONDON — Famed for rescuing the euro in the grips of a sovereign debt crisis, Mario Draghi is now being asked to help his own country.

The former president of the European Central Bank met Italy’s president, Sergio Mattarella, at lunchtime on Wednesday — a meeting where Draghi was asked to form a technocratic government and solve the ongoing political crisis in Rome over the past month.

Italy’s recent political chaos began when a small party withdrew its support for the fragile coalition government. This meant that the pro-EU cabinet lost the necessary working majority in the Italian Parliament which raised the prospect of a snap election at a time of a severe health and economic crisis.

Draghi accepted the task given to him by the president at a press conference Wednesday lunchtime, saying he would return after establishing whether he’s able to or not. He also noted the grave situation that his country currently faces.

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form, accompanied by English versions from the 1914 translation by H. Rackham.

Novartis s’empare de la firme américaine de neurosciences Cadent Therapeutics

ZURICH (Reuters) -Novartis a annoncé jeudi l’acquisition de la société américaine de neurosciences Cadent Therapeutics pour un montant susceptible d’atteindre 770 millions de dollars (environ 630 millions d’euros).

“Au moment de la clôture de la vente, Cadent recevra un versement initial de 210 millions de dollars et sera admissible à des versements échelonnés pour un montant total potentiel de 770 millions”, précise de son côté la firme américaine basée dans le Massachusetts.

Le géant pharmaceutique suisse précise que cette acquisition va renforcer son portefeuille dans le domaine des neurosciences, sur la schizophrénie et les troubles du mouvement.

L’accord porte aussi sur les droits du MIJ821, une molécule encore au stade clinique dont Novartis a obtenu la licence en 2015 et que Cadent développe pour le traitement des dépressions dites résistantes.

“L’acquisition de Cadent s’inscrit dans une longue collaboration et une ambition partagée de faire émerger de nouveaux remèdes neuropsychiatriques visant les causes profondes de la maladie”, relève Jay Bradner, président de l’Institut Novartis pour la recherche biomédicale (NIBR).

La transaction devrait être bouclée dans le courant du premier trimestre 2021 sous réserve des autorisations requises.

U.S. airlines closing in on new government assistance package

A roughly $900 billion coronavirus relief bill still under negotiation would allocate $17 billion to airlines and allow them to bring back more than 32,000 workers furloughed in October, after a prior six-month $25 billion measure expired on Sept. 30.

A final deal on the $900 billion relief package could be reached as early as Thursday morning in the United States.

Airline workers would be paid retroactive to Dec. 1 and airlines would have to resume flying to some routes they stopped operating after the aid package expired, congressional aides briefed on the talks told Reuters. Airline workers could not be furloughed through March 31 as a condition of the assistance.

Reuters first reported on Dec. 1 that a bipartisan $908 billion proposal included $17 billion for airline payroll assistance, as well as $15 billion for U.S. transit systems, $4 billion for airports, $1 billion for passenger railroad Amtrak and $8 billion for private bus companies and other services.

Texas, nine U.S. states accuse Google of working with Facebook to break antitrust law

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Texas and nine other states sued Google on Wednesday, accusing it of working with Facebook Inc in an unlawful manner that violated antitrust law to boost its already-dominant online advertising business.

The states asked that the Alphabet Inc-owned company, which controls a third of the global online advertising industry, compensate them for damages and sought “structural relief,” which is usually interpreted as forcing a company to divest some of its assets.

The Texas lawsuit is the second major complaint from regulators against Google and the fourth in a series of federal and state lawsuits aimed at reining in alleged bad behavior by Big Tech platforms that have grown significantly in the past two decades.

European shares up for fourth session on stimulus optimism

Dec 17 (Reuters) – European shares remained at 10-month highs on Thursday, as hopes of more stimulus in the United States and potential COVID-19 vaccine rollouts in Europe strengthened the case for a global economic recovery.

Germany’s DAX climbed 1.1% to hit its highest since February, while the pan-European STOXX 600 index rose 0.6%, both extending gains to a fourth straight session.

Germany and France said they were set to begin inoculating their citizens with the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine in the last week of December, once it is approved by the European Medicines Agency.
