A Myanmar military tribunal has sentenced 28 people to 20 years in jail with hard labour for arson attacks on two factories, state media reported, after a string of mainly Chinese-financed factories were torched during unrest in Yangon in March.
Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N) has stopped buying the credits its oil refining arm needs to comply with U.S. biofuel laws, leaving it with a $346 million liability at the end of the first quarter, as it tries to persuade the White House to ease its obligations, according to previously unreported financial filings and sources familiar with the matter.

A U.S. federal judge on Friday ordered an independent review of evidence from electronic devices seized in recent raids of Rudy Giuliani s home and office, rejecting Giuliani s effort to block the review.
U.S. District Judge Paul Oetken in Manhattan said appointing a special master would ensure the perception of fairness in reviewing the 18 devices, including cellphones and computers, taken during the April 28 raids.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan have been examining Giuliani s dealings in Ukraine, including whether he violated lobbying laws by acting as an unregistered foreign agent while working as a lawyer for then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
