After several complaints of chain snatchings in south Delhi in recent days, police scanned CCTV footage and in one clip identified the running Harish.

Beijing may initiate a managed debt restructuring of a troubled property developer in the coming week, followed by policy easing in October to contain spillover to the broader economy, according to Morgan Stanley economists.
Regulators have had a mechanism to deal with defaults of property developers and reduce systemic risk, economists including Robin Xing wrote in a note Tuesday. If these actions are delayed, there could be a one percentage point impact on Chinas gross domestic product growth in the fourth quarter, warranting bigger stimulus in 2022, they added.
Others including Citigroup Inc. are expecting Beijing to help out China Evergrande Group, the worlds most indebted developer, as it missed interest payments due Monday …

More than 30,000 ACT health members left in limbo when their provider entered administration may have been given a reprieve after administrators found new operators courtesy of a court granting them more time. The nation’s peak medical body welcomed the news about the National Health Co-op (NHC), but it said the case should prompt the ACT government, who along with the federal government funded NHC, to help find more innovative ways to address underlying issues impacting the territory’s GPs and bulk billing situation. The not-for-profit and member-owned NHC, which opened its doors in 2010 and is now estimated to have 14 per cent of all bulk-billed GP appointments, entered voluntary administration in June. The organisation said the end …
