Our 6 ‘Best Buys Now’ Shares Enter Your Email Address Peter Stephens | Tuesday, 3rd November, 2020 | More on: AZN SGRO An uncertain economic outlook has not only prompted a stock market crash in 2020. It has also led to dividend cuts across a number of UK shares. As such, it is more difficult to make a growing passive income now than it was a year ago, or even at the start of the calendar year.Despite this, a number of FTSE 100 shares continue to offer attractive dividends that can grow over the long run. Here are two such companies that could offer improving passive income prospects when purchased in a tax-efficient account such as an ISA.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Resilient performance in the stock market crashThe stock market crash has caused many UK shares to decline heavily in value. However, the AstraZeneca (LSE: AZN) share price has risen marginally since the start of the year.The company’s defensive business model is evidenced by its recent updates. For example, in the first half of the year it posted a 14% rise in sales and a 26% increase in core earnings per share. This shows that it may be less impacted by a global economic slowdown or a stock market crash than other UK shares. Therefore, it may offer a more resilient passive income investing opportunity.Looking ahead, AstraZeneca is forecast to post a 27% rise in its net profit next year. This could mean that it is able to raise dividends per share so that its yield of 2.7% becomes more appealing.The company’s valuation also suggests that it offers capital growth potential. Certainly, it has a relatively high price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 25. However, its high earnings growth rate and resilient prospects ahead of a potential second stock market crash indicate that it could produce impressive total returns over the long run.Passive income growth opportunitySegro (LSE: SGRO) is another FTSE 100 share that has outperformed many of its index peers since the stock market crash. In fact, its share price has risen by 2% since the start of the year.A key reason for this is that demand for the company’s warehouses is likely to increase over the long run. This is due to the rising popularity of online shopping, which could be catalysed by recent lockdown measures.The company’s dividend yield of 2.4% is lower than many other UK shares at the present time. However, over the long run, the company’s shareholder payouts could rise at a relatively fast pace. This may increase the appeal of Segro’s shares in a low interest rate environment where inflationary pressures may build in response to a loose monetary policy.As such, the company could offer long-term total return prospects. Its shares may not have fallen after the stock market crash, but they appear to offer a mix of passive income appeal and capital appreciation potential over the coming years.

Image source: Getty Images Deciding which companies can be classed as the best shares to buy today is very subjective. However, they’re likely to have solid financial positions and competitive advantages over their peers. This may allow them to deliver excellent financial performances over the long run.Buying such companies when they trade at cheap prices can lead to impressive returns over the long run. They may be able to deliver market-beating returns that catalyse an investor’s portfolio. They could even help an investor to retire earlier than previously planned.5G is here – and shares of this ‘sleeping giant’ could be a great way for you to potentially profit!According to one leading industry firm, the 5G boom could create a global industry worth US$12.3 TRILLION out of thin air…And if you click here we’ll show you something that could be key to unlocking 5G’s full potential…Buying today’s best sharesThe stock market crash and uncertain weak economic outlook means buying the best shares available could be even more important than usual. Indeed, some sectors face challenging operating conditions that could lead to disappointing financial performances over the coming months. Companies with solid balance sheets and competitive advantages over their peers may be better able to survive.Such companies may also benefit to a greater extent from a likely economic recovery. For example, they may be able to invest in undervalued assets to strengthen their market positions. Or they may be able to invest in adapting their business models to new customer tastes and trends.This may lead them to generate higher profit growth than their peers, which could produce higher valuations over the coming years.Investing money at cheap pricesInvesting money in the best shares at cheap prices can provide greater scope for capital appreciation. Many of today’s undervalued shares may face an extended period before they return to 2019 price levels. However, the past performance of the stock market suggests a sustained bull market is likely to take place in the coming years. This could lift investor sentiment towards a wide range of companies, and allow them to command higher valuations.Buying stocks at cheap prices may also limit risks to some extent. Buying an asset for less than it’s worth provides an investor with a margin of safety that can prove useful should the future turn out to be different than expectations. With a challenging current economic outlook, wide margins of safety could prove to be highly appealing to long-term investors.Long-term return prospectsOf course, today’s best shares may not produce positive capital returns in the short run. There continues to be potential for a second stock market crash following the downturn in the first quarter of 2020, since risks such as Brexit and coronavirus are likely to remain in place.However, an investor buying shares for their retirement portfolio may have sufficient time for cheap shares to recover. This may mean now’s a buying opportunity, since many of today’s best shares may gradually increase in value over the coming years as the world economy’s outlook improves.

What is being suggested is that while results are not what they were at the peak of the Joe Schmidt-led days, though, the comms are better, more relaxed. This week, Murray said: “Now a young player or an experienced player can stop a walk-through and say ‘I don’t know that’ (instead of) maybe try to guess it.”While Ireland may wish to reaffirm something, however, Scotland have approached this match a little differently. Away from home (Georgia have taken up residence at Murrayfield for their final outing, against Fiji) the team are proudly showing off their rotation system in a few position.There are of course some trusted custodians in key positions: captain Stuart Hogg will earn his 80th cap, while nine Ali Price, centre Chris Harris and lock Scott Cummings have been ever-present through this period.But elsewhere you can sense a spirit of throwing some things in the shaker and seeing how it tastes.The biggest talking point for the visitors is a new name at fly-half, with naturalised playmaker Jaco van der Walt of Edinburgh. Evacuated is cult hero Duncan Weir, who cannot even find a spot on the bench. No recognised ten makes that bench, in fact. Autumn Nations Cup Ireland v Scotland PreviewCriticism has not been hard to come by this autumn.While message boards and podcast segments have been thick with barbs for a tournament shorn of crowds, Ireland has talked a lot about their team’s output in the Autumn Nations Cup. They have the chance to finish on a high at home, and have named a side well-stocked with familiar names.Through retentions and returns, this has the makeup of an Ireland team who knows what strong showings should look like. There are little tweaks here and there, but back is Johnny Sexton to run the show, with trusted half-back partner Conor Murray, Peter O’Mahony is used at seven and centres swap places. But there is a deep expectation that this group shares a knowledge. Can’t get to the shops?

Which of these old foes will end the Autumn Nations Cup on a high? Mind you, it’s not like the others switching in are newbies – there is real good will about the return of Duncan Taylor for example. He last featured against Russia in 2019. Fans often talk about coach Gregor Townsend’s approach to rotation and the man himself has proudly mentioned the number of players used this autumn. What is not discussed really is the hope that the bite in defence shown all year can last one more week.If the result does not go Scotland’s way, they have seen some new combos and they have given some game time to players who may not have expected it (try not to shudder if you hear about “learnings” post-match). Of course to truly take the next big step, Scotland need to be able to try things out and win Tests against their biggest rivals.For Ireland, this current regime probably needs a flag-in-the-ground moment. And at this point in the year if feels like a belter between two familiar foes would do everyone some good.What’s the big team news?Sexton recovers from a hamstring complaint to skipper Ireland from fly-half.Elsewhere it comes down to deicisions on positional rivalries. Rob Herring is named at hooker ahead of Rónan Kelleher and Conor Murray starts at nine ahead of Jamison Gibson Park. Meanwhile, Robbie Henshaw is in again and listed at 12 with Bundee Aki lining up with 13 on his back.On the bench, Ulster loosehead Eric O’Sullivan will await his debut and Josh van der Flier is back as a replacement. There is no room for Tadhg Beirne or Will Conners in the squad. For Scotland, Worcester rudder Weir disappears completely from the squad, and instead Edinburgh’s van der Walt lines up for a Scotland debut. He is one of six changes to the side that lost to France.Darcy Graham is back on the wing, Saracens’ Duncan Taylor is selected at inside centre and props Rory Sutherland and Zander Fagerson return to the starting line-up. The back-row also shoogles around with Hamish Watson out – Blade Thomson , Jamie Ritchie and Matt Fagerson make up the unit.On the bench, Blair Cowan and Huw Jones are back in the fold. Cowan last wore a Scotland shirt in 2016.What have the coaches said? Scotland boss Gregor Townsend said of the choise at fly-half: “We have been impressed with Jaco over the time he has trained with us and we’re excited to see him take the next step into international Test match rugby.“Being able to bring back Rory Sutherland after his recent injury is a real boost and it’s great to involve Blair and Huw for the first time this season.” Any interesting statistics?100% – both Ireland and Scotland have landed all of their kicks at goal in the ANC39 – If Cowan and Jones get on the field for Scotland, they will have used 39 different player through the autumnIreland have won eight of their last nine matches against Scotland55 – Ireland have won both of their home games in the ANC, scoring a combined 55 points against Wales and Georgia80 – number of caps for Stuart Hogg (28)Scotland have won their last three away games (against Italy twice, and Wales)Open talk: ref Matt Carley with Conor Murray in 2019 (Getty Images)What time does it kick off and is it on TV?Ireland v Scotland, Saturday 5 December, Aviva StadiumThe match kicks off at 2.15pm and will be broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video in the UK and RTE2 in Ireland.

He had been detained since 14 June 2004.“The long prison sentence Benchicou was made to serve shows how relentless the Algerian authorities have been in hounding this journalist, who is the victim of his government’s autocratic tendencies towards the privately-owned news media,” Reporters Without Borders said.“President Bouteflika was cynical enough to issue a pardon last month for journalists serving prison sentences and then leave Benchicou, the only journalists concerned, to complete his sentence,” the press freedom organisation added.The organisation called for the withdrawal of all the lawsuits pending against him and for the return of his passport. It also announced that he was invited to give a news conference at the Reporters Without Borders headquarters in Paris as soon as he was able to travel.“We also hail the courage of his wife, Fatiha, who has waged a tireless struggle for his release for the past two years,” the organisation added.Benchicou was searched at Algiers airport on his return from a trip abroad on 23 August 2003 and found in possession of a certificate of deposit for a large sum of money in dinars. Ten months later, on 14 June 2004, he was found guilty of “violating capital movement laws” and given a two-year sentence.His lawyers insist there was no legal basis for the conviction. They pointed out during the trial that carriage of a certificate of deposit did not entail any movement of capital, since no foreign currency or cash was involved, just a document without fiduciary value that could only be cashed in dinars at his own bank.Four months before his trial, Benchicou had published a scathing booklet about the president entitled “Bouteflika, an Algerian imposter.”The premises of Le Matin were sold by auction on 26 June 2004 to pay off overdue taxes and the newspaper had to stop publishing on 24 July 2004 when a state-owned printing press demanded settlement of what it was owed.Benchicou and around 20 other journalists working for privately-owned news media continue to be hounded by the Algerian courts, receiving summons after summons in connection with lawsuits brought by government officials. to go further read more

Organisation News News RSF_en Jordan bans coverage of teachers’ protests Reporters Without Borders has asked the Jordanian authorities to immediately release Nasser Qamash, Roman Haddad and Muhannad Mbeidin, of the weekly Al-Hilal, arrested since 16 January 2003, and protect the three journalists following a fatwa describing them as ‘apostates’ who ‘should burn in hell’. ‘”It is excessive and disproportionate to shut a newspaper and imprison three of its journalists for a mere article, even if it broke religious taboos”, said Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Robert Ménard. ‘”The Jordanian authorities wished to appease the country’s Islamic opposition. Not content with having obtained what they wanted, Islamic Action Front (IAF) clerics issued an apostasy fatwa (religious decree) against the journalists. This proves that repressive methods limiting freedom of the press merely play into the hands of the most intolerant”, he added. Al-Hilal’s Chief Editor, Nasser Qamash, Managing Editor, Roman Haddad, and the writer of the article, Muhannad Mbeidin, were arrested on 16 January 2003 ‘for fifteen days for investigative purposes’ on order of the State Security Court prosecution. The latter charges them with publishing on 14 January 2003 an article ‘lacking respect for the family of the Prophet Mohammed and disparaging the dignity of the State’. That article, entitled ‘Aisha in the Prophet’s home’ discussed Prophet Mohammed’s sexual relations with his spouses, especially his favourite, Aisha. All the copies of Al-Hilal have been withdrawn from circulation and the weekly has been shut since 17 January 2003.

Follow the news on Iran Call for Iranian New Year pardons for Iran’s 21 imprisoned journalists IranMiddle East – North Africa December 21, 2007 – Updated on January 20, 2016 Journalist freed on bail, but 11 others still held News News Yaghoub Salaki Nia, a journalist who had spent 50 days in Tehran’s Evin prison without being charged, was freed on 19 December after payment of 80 million toumen (80,000 euros) in bail. Eleven other journalists are still detained in Iran, the Middle East’s biggest prison for the press.“We cannot welcome Nia’s release without at the same time thinking of the other journalists still held in appalling conditions, often in solitary confinement,” Reporters Without Borders said. “They include Adnan Hassanpour, who has been awaiting execution for the past several months. There has never been any letup in the Islamic Republic’s repression of journalists in these past few years. An international campaign is more necessary than ever.”A contributor to several publications including Shamesse Tabriz, Ahrar and Omid Zanjan, Nia had been arrested on 30 October.Adl Mazri, the editor of the newspaper Sobh e Zahedan, was released on 12 December, four days after being summoned by a revolutionary tribunal in the southeastern city of Zahedan and arrested on charges of publishing false information and “disturbing public opinion” as a result of a complaint by the prefect of Sistan and Baluchestan province. He is now awaiting trial.Ashtai, a weekly published in Kurdish and Farsi that was suspended on 5 August, was closed for good on 3 December by a court in the city of Sanandaj, the capital of the northwestern province of Kurdistan. Arzesh, a conservative quarterly, was at the same time closed by a court in Tehran and its editor, Ali Nazari was fined 1,200 euros.A European parliamentary delegation called for Hassanpour’s release during a visit to Tehran from 9 to 11 December. Hassanpour’s death sentence was upheld by the Tehran supreme court on 22 October.Plight of imprisoned journalistsThe authorities have still not revealed where they are holding Omid Ahamadzadeh, a contributor to Aso and Didgah, two newspapers that have been suspended since 2005. The reasons for his arrest by intelligence officers in Sanandaj on 28 November are also still unknown. The official news agency ILNA did however report that Abolfazl Abedini Nasr of the daily Bahar Khozestan has been charged with “complicity with a terrorist entity.” Arrested on 13 November in the southwestern city of Ahvaz, he is reportedly suspected of links with someone responsible for a bombing.A hearing in the appeal of journalist and human rights activist Emadoldin Baghi was held on 15 November in his absence. The former editor of Jomhouriat (a daily suspended in 2004), Baghi is appealing against the three-year sentence he got from a Tehran revolutionary court for “activity against national security” and “publicity in favour of government opponents.” He has been in solitary confinement in Evin prison since his arrest on 14 October.The many requests for the release of reporter Ejlal Ghavami of the weekly Payam-e Mardom-e Kurdestan on health grounds have been ignored. Ghavami, who needs an operation for an acute eye infection that is discharging pus, is serving a three-year sentence in Evin prison for “inciting people to revolt” and “activity against national security.” The editor of Payam-e Mardom-e Kurdestan, Mohammad Sadegh Kabovand, has not been able to take advantage of a conditional release order because his family cannot raise the amount of bail demanded, which is 150 million toumen (145,000 euros). Said Matinpour of the weekly Yarpagh has meanwhile been allowed to receive a visit from his family for the first time since his arrest on 28 May.Sign the petition for Adnan Hassanpour’s release Iran: Press freedom violations recounted in real time January 2020 February 25, 2021 Find out more Receive email alerts News RSF_en Organisation June 9, 2021 Find out more to go further After Hengameh Shahidi’s pardon, RSF asks Supreme Leader to free all imprisoned journalists News Help by sharing this information March 18, 2021 Find out more IranMiddle East – North Africa read more

News UpdatesPlea In Delhi High Court Seeking Compulsory Home Quarantine For Persons Who Campaigned In WB Elections, FIRs Against Star Campaigners Nupur Thapliyal27 April 2021 2:07 AMShare This – xA plea has been filed in the Delhi High Court seeking directions on Union of India and Election Commission of India to ensure compulsory home quarantine for persons who campaigned in the West Bengal Assembly Elections in the last one week. The plea also seeks directions on Election Commission of India to register FIRs against all all-star campaigners and leaders of all political parties who openly violated masking and social distancing guidelines.The Application has been moved in a plea filed by Dr. Vikram Singh, former DGP and Chairman of Think Tank,Centre for Accountability and Systemic Change (CASC) seeking debarment of candidates Violating covid norms issued by the Election Commission.Highlighting that a Tsunami of Coronavirus cases and largescale deaths have occurred due to such violations by political parties, the plea states that the accountability of spread of Covid-19 lies directly on the Election Commission, Ministry of Home Affairs and all political parties as they did not effectively comply with rules, when it mattered the most.”That the result of the unhindered and uncared for all out campaigning has been the rise in Covid cases. Reportedly, every second person in Kolkata is testing positive for Covid. The positivity rate in West Bengal has gone up from 5% to 24%.” The plea reads.Referring to a recent decision taken by the Delhi Government directing Delhi residents visiting Kumbh Mela to compulsorily undergo home quarantine, the plea reads thus:”That the lackadaisical action of Election Commission in implementing its own guidelines and cancellation of permission given for roadshows and rallies is evident from the number of campaigners catching Covid. Whatsoever little action that the Commission is now taking is only under huge public pressure and amounts to only lip service.”The plea seeks the following prayers:- Direct Respondents to ensure compulsory home quarantine of persons who campaigned in the last one week of Assembly Elections in West Bengal.- Direct seizure of all electronic evidence with Election Commission w.r.t. rallies and road shows conducted by political parties.- Direct the Election Commission to recover the penalty from all political parties on the basis of number of crowd claimed to be in roadshows and rallies, which was in violation of Covid Guidelines of Election Commission.- Direct the Election Commission to lodge FIRs against all-star campaigners and leaders of all political parties who openly violated masking and social distancing guidelines of Election Commission.- Direct prosecution of officials of Election Commission who failed to enforce their own mandatory Covid guidelines despite legal representation of the Petitioner.TagsDelhi High Court COVID 19 second covid wave West Bengal Elections Social Distancing Norms Election Commission of India Next Story read more
