6. EU commission bans TikTok on staff phones
• The European Commission on Thursday banned its staff from installing TikTok on devices used for work amid concerns over data protection, in a move that provoked an angry response from the company.
• TikTok, whose parent company Byte Dance is Chinese, has faced increasing Western scrutiny in recent months over fears about how much access Beijing has to user data.
• The ban means European Commission staff cannot use the video-sharing app on work devices and personal devices, such as phones, that have official EU email and communication apps installed. Employees must remove the app as soon as possible and should do so by March 15
7. Ex-Mastercard CEO picked by Biden to lead World Bank
• US President Joe Biden said on February 23, 2023 that Washington is nominating former Mastercard Chief Executive Ajay Banga to lead the World Bank, after its current chief David Malpass announced plans to step down early.
• The development lender has just started accepting candidate nominations in a process set to run until March 29, with the bank saying that women candidates would be `strongly` encouraged.
• The president of the World Bank is typically American, while the leader of the International Monetary Fund is customarily European. Banga, 63, is Indian American and currently serving as vice chairman at equity firm General Atlantic. He was previously chief executive at Mastercard
8. EU unveils `game changer` data centre to probe crimes in Ukraine
• The EU`s judicial cooperation agency (Eurojust) on February 23, 2023 unveiled what it said was a `game changing` data centre to collect and analyse evidence of crimes in Ukraine, invaded by Russia a year ago.
• The Hague-based body and Ukraine also backed the European Union`s announcement to coordinate a probe into crimes committed after the invasion. `We expect this database to be fully operational by summer this year,` Eurojust president Ladislav Hamran said. `This database is a real game changer in the prosecution of core international crimes,` he told journalists.
• The centre will gather, store and analyse evidence presented by prosecutors of EU member states and other countries represented at the agency, including Britain and the United States. Digital evidence that can be submitted for storage include pictures, video recordings, satellite and drone images and witness statements
9. UNGA calls upon Russia to pull out from Ukraine
• The United Nations voted overwhelmingly on February 23, 2023 to demand Russia immediately and unconditionally withdraw its troops from Ukraine, marking the one-year anniversary of the war with a call for a `just and lasting` peace.
• Ukraine earned strong backing in a non-binding vote that saw 141 of the 193 UN members in support, seven opposed and 32, including China and India, abstaining.
• Coming on the eve of the first anniversary of the brutal war, support for Kyiv was little-changed from that of last October when 143 countries voted to condemn Russia`s declared annexation of four Ukraine regions
10. Pakistan Super League Fiery Hasan, Gurbaz help United outclass Zalmi
