Indian ride-hailing company Ola will begin operating in the U.K. within the next month, starting with South Wales and Greater Manchester, it said on Tuesday. It hopes to roll out to the rest of the U.K. by the end of the year.
Why it matters: This expansion will pit the company even more aggressively against Uber, which it's been competing with in its native India. Earlier this year, it also began taking on Uber in Australia.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Monday unveiled House Democrats' new $2.2 trillion coronavirus relief proposal.
Why it matters: Negotiations with the Trump administration have stalled since the House passed its $3 trillion HEROES Act in May. The pared-down bill, which is $200,000 smaller than Democrats' most recent proposal, is part of Pelosi's last-ditch effort to strike a deal with the White House.
