there were decisions made to ensure that his no disruption of fuel supplies to the origin. the kremlin also said that this attack is not going to create favorable conditions for the peace towards which resumed online at a day. on those talks, we had 2 statements, one from the top, russia negotiator, vladimir medeski, saying that the russian position on crimea and the eastern provinces of a ganske antoniette remains the same the since the thought of the conflict, the russia has been saying that he wants ukraine to recognize crimea, as part of russia and also look ganske entered, he asked as independent states earlier to day foreign minister sir gay lover of said that there is progress in the talks and that russia's position on both republics plus crimea are, are not changing. but at the same time,

he hinted that this could be something that will take time because of the very nature of the sticking a point. now the equations have been talking about security guarantees. something similar to the nature as collective defense mechanism. we don't, we have to wait and see whether have, how many countries will be on board and the gallant or whether they will be really willing to step in and present themselves as guarantors in those security arrangements. so i think it will boil down to pinning down those details before there is this comprehensive political settlement that will also be conducive to assist fire. well, several attempts to set up humanitarian corridors to allow civilians are scenario people have fail so far. on friday, the red cross complained about not being able to evacuate people by bass. and now your port authorities also said the russians were blocking access to the city. but more than 3000 people did manage to leave according to the president's office. and at smith is in rest of on don, i have been missing people who have previously nyesha escape by their own means,

a tide. and it's not stopping. and it's going to sweep us all and means everything i it means worker power of the potential for working fast revolution is if you can unionize amazon, you can unionize anywhere. it is. it's a remarkable story for the amazon labor organizers, a small independent union that began only last year, set up shop at a bus stop the warehouse winning against one of the most powerful companies in the world. some believe the pandemic and its impact at amazon has sparked a see change in workers attitudes across the board. people realize how expandable they were to be companies, how little these companies cared about them, and workers aren't going back. there's a new sense that they want something more, they risk their lives for this country that recalled, essential workers and workers are going to keep pushing and pushing. and i think this is the beginning of a new era of organizing in a post pandemic period. amazon spent over $4000000.00 to try to defeat the union

boat. the company argued among other things that their $15.00 minimum wage is competitive. union leaders here said they've already heard from amazon warehouse workers in over a dozen different locations expressing their desire to unionize as well. while the result at another amazon facility in alabama remains in the balance tension now turns to another new york amazon warehouse due to hold a unionization vote next month with this victory still very fresh in their minds. gabriel's dondo al jazeera new york. now poisonous gas has killed 8 coal miners in southern serbia. 18 others were injured. the methane was released very suddenly when coal collapsed in an excavation chamber. this is the latest and it is several serious accidents that have taken place in the state and pit since it 1st opened in
