BLKWF12 USAF BD-700 GLEX over U.A.E.-this AC has done some short flights over UAE in the last few days

Bombardier E-11A BACN is the military variant of the civil Bombardier BD-700 Global Express for use as overhead communications-relay platform in southwest Asia. The BD-700 was selected due to its high service ceiling, up to 51,000 ft and up to 12 hours flight duration. Initially aircraft was designated as RC-700 under the reconnaissance classification but later was re-designated as the E-11A under the special electronics installations category. The E-11A is a U.S. Air Force aircraft that provides unparalleled communications capabilities to forces on the ground and aircraft in the air. Commonly known as Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, or BACN, this aircraft extends the range of communications channels and enables better communication among units. This element is essential where the terrain may disrupt communications channels and it enables ground forces to know what is around them when something is not in their line of sight.

Mortgage holidays extended for up to six months-UK

Mortgage payment holidays are being extended for homeowners financially affected by the pandemic. The scheme had been due to come to an end on Saturday.

Borrowers who have not yet had a mortgage holiday can request from their lender a pause in repayments, that can last up to six months. Those who have had their payments deferred already, can extend their mortgage holiday until they reach the six-month limit.

The changes form part of a new package of financial support measures announced by the government as the UK heads into a second coronavirus lockdown on Thursday. The announcement the furlough scheme would be extended provided great relief.

However, there's been no fresh announcement about financial support for the self-employed.

Groups representing the self-employed are asking for previously announced winter support grants - meant to cover three-month periods - to be increased from covering 40% of profits to something on parity with the support on offer for employees.

They also want eligibility criteria reviewed to help those who have been left out of support so far.

After the prime minister's address came news from the Treasury that there would be grants for businesses in England who are required to close. Linked to the rateable value of properties, they'll be between £1,334 and £3,000 per month.

However it is another nervous time for firms in the worst-hit sectors, who have already taken on debt and seen their cash reserves drained by the crisis. For many, paying rent remains a big concern.

And for retailers who had invested heavily in making their premises Covid-secure, the timing of the shutdown before Christmas is a worst-case scenario.

Exactly how much of a hit the economy will take is unclear. Under the first lockdown the UK economy shrank by a fifth in April, but an exact repeat is not expected. Some industries like construction should carry on, while others have adapted - for example by boosting online ordering capacity.
