What would you do if the government removed all $100 and $50 bills from circulation? That's basically exactly what happened in India after the Indian government decided to remove the 1,000 and 500 rupee note from circulation last Tuesday, and millions of people lined up at banks to exchange their now worthless paper for legal currency. Footage from Bangalore shows the chaos at banks across India on Saturday, as millions of people queued up for hours to change old currency notes that became worthless days earlier. Long lines formed outside the banks and scuffles broke out after some ATMs ran out of cash. More than half of India's 220,000 ATMs were not ready to dispense the new bills. On Tuesday, November 8, the same day as the US presidential election, India's government made a surprise announcement that all 500- and 1,000-rupee notes were being taken out of circulation and had no cash value, in an effort to tackle corruption and tax evasion, causing a rush to the banks to swap the old, now defunct notes.
British Muslim political activist Anjem Choudary appeared Monday at London's Central Criminal Court for sentencing, for "inviting support" for the Islamic State and other militant Islamist groups. He was sentenced to five and half years of jail-time, most of which will likely be spent in solitary confinement in a bid to stop the activist from spreading his teachings to other inmates. Journalists and Choudary's supporters met the vehicle containing the accused in front of the court.
