Virus tests save Roche as drug sales slide
Virus tests are proving to be a saving grace for Roche. The Swiss pharmaceuticals giant saw drug sales slide in the first quarter. They were down 9% over the period. Revenues were hit as the global health crisis limited visits to hospitals and health centers. But it was a different story on virus testing. Sales at the firm's diagnostics division leapt by 55%. That almost offset the slump in shipments of drugs. Overall, Roche first-quarter sales dipped 1% to 14.9 billion swiss francs - or about 16.3 billion dollars. Last year Chief Executive Severin Schwan was confident that drug sales would soon normalise. But now he says the lingering crisis continues to have a negative impact. Even so, the company still expects current-year sales growth in the low- to mid-single-digit range. Core earnings are seen rising at a similar rate. Roche shares rose over 1.5% in early trade on Wednesday (April 21).

Chadian opposition decries Deby's son as interim leader
N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) — Chad’s political opposition is saying the country suffered a “coup d'etat” when power was handed to Mahamat Idriss Deby, arguing that the military did not follow constitutional rules for succession following the death of his father after more than three decades in power. The mounting opposition to Chad's transitional government Thursday came as the international community also pressed for a democratic transfer of power following the killing of longtime President Idriss Deby Itno. A military spokesman announced Idriss Deby Itno's death on Tuesday and said in the same announcement that his 37-year-old son would serve as the head of an 18-month-long transitional government.

GOP Sen. John Kennedy grilled Stacey Abrams on Georgia voting law, and Democrats are glad he did
In a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) asked Georgia voting rights advocate Stacey Abrams if she could list the specific things she objects to in Georgia's restrictive new voting law. She could. "It's a long list," the Senate Democrats' Twitter account said, helping the exchange go viral on Wednesday. Kennedy and Abrams are both very smart lawyers who graduated at the top of their class at elite universities, MSNBC's Brian Williams noted Wednesday night, setting up the clip. "Is that everything?" Kennedy asked about 90 seconds into Abrams' recitation. "No it is not, no sir," she replied, laughing. We never find out where her list ended, though, because Kennedy finally threw in the towel. "Okay, I get the idea," he said "I get the idea."
