Ukraine's Presidential Office on Thursday warned that the situation at <keyword id="131143" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="chernobyl" source="Orion">Chernobyl</keyword> was "very dangerous" after an emergency power outage was reported at the now-defunct nuclear power plant. "The situation in Chernobyl is overall very dangerous. It is critical that certain elements of the plant receive a consistent supply of electricity," the Ukrayinska Pravda newspaper quoted presidential adviser Mykhaylo Podolyak as saying. The adviser warned that since "these elements have been cut off from stable access to power", it posed a "threat to the whole of Europe. And, of course, to Russia itself". Podolyak added that not only has the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) stopped receiving crucial data from the safety monitoring system, no one currently understood what was going on at the Chernobyl power plant. According to the presidential advisor, Russia is targeting the nuclear plants in Ukraine to "subdue its neighbours". According to Ukrenergo, the state energy company of Ukraine, the plant suffered the power outage on Wednesday due to which on site emergency diesel generators were turned on to provide power systems important for safety. The company said that the supply of diesel fuel on diesel generators will be enough for 48 hours. It added that repair work to restore the energy supply was impossible due to Russian combat operations in the region. Although operations stopped at the plant after the catastrophic nuclear disaster in 1986, Chernobyl was never fully abandoned and still requires constant management, the BBC said, adding that spent nuclear fuel is cooled at the site. The IAEA on Thursday morning said the power outage "would not have a critical impact on essential safety functions at the site". IAEA Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi however, said that the outage was likely to create additional stress for around 210 technical experts and guards currently stuck at the plant which was seized by Russia on the first day of its war on February 24.

This is the third year of the ‘<a href="https://makeamazonpay.com/?link_id=4&amp;can_id=3483ce9a311068233a55d0aa42962f6d&amp;source=email-make-amazon-pay-2&amp;email_referrer=email_1749159&amp;email_subject=make-amazon-pay">Make Amazon Pay</a>’ global protests – covering 40 countries. The Make Amazon Pay Coalition, co-convened by UNI Global Union and the Progressive International, is a coalition of over 80 unions, civil society organisations, environmentalists and tax watchdogs like Greenpeace, 350.org, <keyword id="1155271" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="tax-justice-network" source="Orion">Tax Justice Network</keyword> and Amazon Workers International.

The protesters will march to their respective district magistrate offices and submit a memorandum. “On Black Friday, in what has already been named #MakeAmazonPay day, unions, civil society and progressive elected officials will stand shoulder to shoulder to denounce Amazon’s despicable multimillion dollar campaigns to kill worker-lead union efforts.

We are inventing and investing significantly in all these areas, playing a significant role in addressing climate change with the Climate Pledge commitment to be net zero carbon by 2040, continuing to offer competitive wages and great benefits, and inventing new ways to keep our employees safe and healthy in our operations network, to name just a few. Anyone can see for themselves by taking a tour at one of our sites,” an Amazon spokesperson told Business Insider India. The protests could be crucial as Black Friday sales – annual retail sale events starting a day after Thanksgiving in the US when retail chains offer deep discounts – tend to provide a big boost in <a href="https://www.britannica.com/story/why-is-it-called-black-friday">sales</a> for retailers and e-commerce players globally. This year, most of the sales commence on 25th November and end on 28th November.

Indian trade unions to join global protests against Amazon India

<ul><li><keyword id="6484188" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sensex" source="Orion">Sensex</keyword> slipped nearly 3% on Monday morning following negative global cues on heightened concerns related to the Russia-Ukraine war.</li><li>Also, crude oil prices have surged to $130 per barrel as compared to $91 per barrel a month back.</li><li>Asian markets including Shanghai, Japan, and Hong Kong also remained in the red as investors across the world sold stocks on fear of rising uncertainties.</li></ul>Investors across the world have been fretting since the last few weeks and selling their investments in the equity market on rising uncertainties around the world. Sensex and Nifty 50 slipped nearly 3% on Monday morning following negative global cues on heightened concerns related to the Russia-Ukraine war. Russia’s invasion on Ukraine has made things worse for the entire world by pushing up prices of important commodities like crude oil and metals. While the oil prices were already tight before Russia invaded Ukraine, it got worse after the major oil producer executed a war. The Indian economy is expected to be the worst hit because of the jump in oil prices as the country imports 80% of its oil needs and any rise in oil price increases the import bill. Moreover, inflation is also expected to shoot up sharply as prices of sunflower oil, wheat, LPG, crude oil are directly impacted due to the ongoing battle between Russia and Ukraine. To prevent more damage western countries have already unleashed unprecedented sanctions on Russia that include seizing accounts of prominent companies, individuals.
