REUTERS: Delta Air Lines expects its second-quarter revenue to fall by US$10 billion, representing an 80 per cent reduction compared with a year earlier, the company said on Friday (Mar 20), as the coronavirus hurts travel demand. To beef up its cash position during the crisis, Delta has entered into a US$2.6 billion secured credit facility and was drawing down US$3 billion under its existing credit facilities.

LINE of Duty fans are convinced Kate Fleming is H after spotting a 'very guilty' clue in a new teaser clip. Last week, fans of the much-loved BBC show were happy to hear the sixth season will premiere on Sunday March 21.

But experts warned that, far from being deterred, Iran might find that line signals there is space for them to continue the kind of provocative activities that fired up tensions across the Gulf region throughout 2019. And with Trump facing a re-election fight in 2020, some said Tehran could even step up its actions to challenge the president's promise to pull US troops out of the Middle East.
