India's gig economy riders risk their lives to deliver food - BBC News
India's gig economy riders risk their lives to deliver food - BBC News admin_videos 369 Views • 2 years ago

Food delivery riders, including Zomato and Swiggy workers, in India's capital city Delhi have said they are risking their lives to deliver whilst on poor wages.

They battle a ticking clock, traffic and demanding customers - along with worries about how they will make ends meet.

"Look at this - I got 51 rupees ($0.67; 51p) for a delivery 8km away," one worker said.

The riders say rising fuel costs are now cutting into their limited income and they face greater competition between India’s start-ups to deliver food and groceries within 10 minutes.

Russian president Vladimir Putin said that Moscow will re-direct its energy eastward, as European countries try to reduce reliance on Russian exports.
"EU countries talk of cutting off energy supplies from Russia, driving up prices and destabilising the market", he said.

Putin said that Russia should embark on building infrastructure for eastward oil and gas exports as the country needs to diversify its energy supplies away from Europe.

Speaking at a televised government meeting, Putin also said that Russia needs to replace imports of equipment for oil and gas production.

Ukraine War: British men captured by Moscow's forces appear on state TV admin_videos 647 Views • 2 years ago

Two British fighters captured by Moscow's forces in Ukraine have appeared on Russian state TV and asked to be exchanged for pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk.

Shaun Pinner and Aiden Aslin spoke separately after being prompted by an unidentified man in footage broadcast on the Rossiya 24 state TV channel.

The two men asked Boris Johnson to help bring them home in exchange for Ukraine releasing captured oligarch Mr Medvedchuk, who was shown in a video released around the same time on Monday by Ukraine's SBU intelligence service.

UK plan to send refugees to Rwanda is “cruel” and “immoral” say critics - BBC News
UK plan to send refugees to Rwanda is “cruel” and “immoral” say critics - BBC News admin_videos 790 Views • 2 years ago

Plans announced by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to send asylum seekers who arrive in the UK to Rwanda in Africa have been described as "chilling”, “cruel” and “immoral” by charities and politicians.

Boris Johnson said the £120m pilot scheme would "save countless lives”. He claimed it would break the business model of "vile people smugglers".

The scheme would initially focus on single men arriving on boats or lorries in the UK. They would be sent on a 4,000-mile trip to Rwanda where they would be processed and, if granted asylum, be offered long-term accommodation in the African country.

The UK Home Secretary Priti Patel, who travelled to the Rwandan capital Kigali to sign the deal, said the "vast majority" of those arriving in the UK "illegally" would be considered for relocation to Rwanda.

More than 160 charities and campaign groups called on the UK government to abandon the plan, which they described as “shamefully cruel”, as well as unworkable and unlawful. The policy is expected to face legal challenge in the courts.

Other critics said the announcement was an attempt to distract from Boris Johnson’s political difficulties. It was unveiled shortly after he was found guilty of criminal conduct for breaking his own lockdown rules, with parties in Downing Street at the height of the Covid pandemic.
