Scores of violations by fuel stationsThe inflow-outflow monitoring systems at fuel stations show that about one in three enterprises inspected in the sector have broken the law.Of the 546 gasoline stations that the tax administration inspected in 2018, 181 had committed some form of violation, as indicated by the inflow-outflow system and the processing of additional data.The tax violations included instances of hiding taxable material, failure to pay value-added tax, and transactions without invoices or receipts.There were even cases of diesel being adulterated with heating oil, as well as other oil products with a high sulfur rate, and even water. Expensive forms of gasoline were also found to have been adulterated with cheaper types.
What is fake news, what are the worst examples and why does it matter? Social media networks have been told to crack down on fake news, with a new report from MPs calling it a “malicious and relentless” threat to democracy.As a phrase, fake news has spread around the world, even reaching the upper echelons of US leadership as President Trump repeatedly uses it to hit out at his harshest critics.Faked stories are often shared thousands of times on social media. Sometimes they have honest intent, others set out with the intention of influencing the outcome of major elections.Where did fake news start?It has been claimed that the phenomena of online fake news first started to spread in 2016 from a town in North Macedonia.

Already, almost two dozen countries are getting smaller every year, from Poland to Cuba to Japan, which lost almost 450,000 people in 2018. In these countries, women have fewer than the 2.1 babies that they must produce, on average, for a population to remain stable. The population decline would be even steeper were it not for steadily increasing life expectancy.The fertility rate in the UK is 1.7. Most population growth in the UK today is the result of international immigration, according to the Office of National Statistics. Without immigrants, Great Britain would eventually enter an era of population decline.More old people and fewer young people place an increased strain on society’s ability to generate the wealth and taxes needed to fund, among other things, healthcare for the old.

Shoppers unknowingly buying no-stun religious meat in supermarketsUp to 90,500 animals slaughtered as kosher - condemned by vets as cruel - may have been sold unlabelledSome animals due for religious consumption are stunned, but the figures revealed last year more than 94 million animals were slaughtered without the practice taking place - an average of three animals per second. The proportion of animals stunned before slaughter for halal meat last year dropped significantly, the figures also showed.Experts say killing without stunning is cruel as animals still feel pain and distress during a prolonged death.Regulations allow non-stun slaughter provided the meat is consumed only by religious communities.Iceland, Sweden, Switzerland, Denmark and Flanders in Belgium have all banned no-stun slaughter, and the European Parliament last week voted for the European Union Commission to halt the practice.
