onions because there's a lack of an india banning exposure which is also why an in prices have gone up and in prices too hot for cooking most poor people and even the middle class stop using onion as a cooking ingredient fans can have on the christian money and we have stopped buying because the prime minister has forced us to cook or dishes without it is not possible for us ordinary people to buy onions such a high price. as a symbolic gesture the prime minister herself has a larger quote not to use onion as an ingredient in our dishes although the prices have slightly going down because the government started airlifting on importing onions from middle east europe and even central asia but prices remain still high in the market for most people. italian police say they've broken off across border criminal gang trafficking millions of dollars worth of artifacts from the 4th and 5th century b.c. police training video shows excavations in the southern region of calabria artifacts were illegally exported and sold around the world italy's paramilitary
