Russia announces economic sanctions against Turkey
Russia announces economic sanctions against Turkey
Nov 29, 2:16 PM
Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced economic sanctions against Turkey, following the downing of their warplane by Ankara on the Syrian border on Tuesday.
The decree published on the Kremlin’s website yesterday came hours after Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan voiced regret over the incident.
Mr Erdogan had said that Turkey was truly saddened by the event and wished it hadn’t occurred.
The Russian sanctions covers imports from Turkey, the work of Turkish companies in Russia and any Turkish nationals working for Russian companies.
The decree also calls for an end to charter flights between the countries.
It also urges Russian tour operators to refrain from selling packages to Turkey, while Turkey’s Foreign Ministry has warned its citizens against non-essential travel to Russia until the situation becomes clear.
Mr. Erdogan’s expression of regret was the first since Turkish F-16 jets shot down the Russian jet on grounds that it had violated Turkish airspace despite repeated warnings to change course.
He renewed a call for a meeting with President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of a climate conference in Paris, saying it would be an opportunity to overcome tensions.

India says, Paris conference should enable access to climate relevant technologies at affordable prices.Ahead of the Climate Change Summit beginning in Paris tomorrow, India today said that the outcome of the conference should enable access to climate-relevant technologies at affordable prices.
In its official twitter handle for the Summit, the government said that Paris agreement should enable countries to collaborate in development and large scale deployment of climate friendly technologies.
It said that the outcome of the Summit must support adaptation and development to affordable technologies balancing intermittent supply of solar and wind energy.
The tweet also said, India has submitted Intended Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris conference and pledged to reduce carbon emissions by 33 to 35 percent of its GDP by 2030 from 2005 level.
Over 150 heads of state will participate in the Conference tomorrow to strike a deal on global warming.
The high participation makes the Summit one of the largest diplomatic conferences ever organized, besides the United Nations General Assembly Sessions in New York.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will leave for the Conference shortly. He will unveil India’s Strategy to contain global warming and its serious consequences.
The summit is being organized under tight security measures in the wake of the recent terror attacks in Paris that claimed 130 lives and injured many others.
AIR correspondent, covering the Summit, reports that 1.28 lakh security personnel have been mobilized for peaceful conduct of the Conference.

PV Sindhu: Facebook
P V Sindhu completed a hat-trick of women’s singles title at the $ 120,000 Macau Open Grand Prix Gold after defeating Japan’s Minatsu Mitani in the finals, in Macau, on Sunday.
Sindhu produced a dominating game to notch up a 21-9, 21-23, 21-14 win against sixth seed Mitani in a women’s singles match that lasted an hour and six minutes. Sindhu dominated the proceedings right from the start as she rode on the errors of Mitani to reach 11-5 at the break. Sixth-seeded Mitani came up with an aggressive rally and sealed it with a down the line smash but she failed to curb her errors and most of her returns went wide and long to allow Sindhu lead 17-6 in a jiffy.

‘The Constitution is a fundamental document. It is a document which
defines the position and power of the three organs of the State –the
executive, the judiciary and the legislature. It also defined the
powers of the executive and the powers of the legislature as against
the citizen, as have done in our chapter dealing with Fundamental
Rights. In fact, the purpose of a Constitution is not merely to create
the organs of the State but to limit their authority, because, if no
limitation was imposed upon the authority of organs, there will be
complete tyranny and complete oppression. The legislature may be free
to frame any Law; the executive may be free to take any decision; and
the Supreme Court may be free to give any interpretation of the Law.
It would result in utter chaos’

the Executive and the Judiciary their respective powers, assigns to
them their respective functions, and prescribes limitations within
which the said powers and functions can be legitimately discharged.’

India hold Germany to a 1-1 draw
Raipur, 28th Nov 2015: Host nation India thrilled the fans by holding reigning Olympic champions and Pool B rivals Germany to a 1-1 draw in the third match of Day 2 at the Hero Hockey World League Final 2015, currently taking place in Raipur, India.
For the second evening in succession, a large, passion-fuelled crowd turned out to cheer on the home team and were rewarded with a very good display from India, who rediscovered form following their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Argentina on Friday evening.
Germany were the first team to strike, with an unmarked Niklas Wellen finishing from close range just six minutes into the match.
India battled brilliantly throughout, and came close to grabbing a leveller when Rupinder Pal Singh rattled the frame of the goal with a penalty corner before the equalizer came in the fourth quarter. Akashdeep Singh was the scorer, showing great skill to collect a pass before firing home with a backhand strike.
“We made far fewer unforced errors today than we did yesterday”, said India Head Coach Roleant Oltmans in the post-match press conference, referring to his team’s loss against Argentina. “Sometimes you need a result like that to show the way to play. I’m proud of the way we played, and this is where the tournament starts for us.”
Germany’s Head Coach Valentin Altenburg was not satisfied with his team’s performance, saying: “India played their game very well and we did not. The performance today is an issue, the result I don’t really care about. We will try to get better.”
Hero Man of the Match: Sardar Singh (IND)

The global climate march is happening everywhere RIGHT NOW! Join the virtual march, Avaaz’ll deliver our numbers to leaders in Paris — let’s make sure they know how many of us want urgent action!
Dear amazing Avaaz community,The French government has just announced that with security still a major concern in Paris, we’ll have to cancel our massive climate march there on November 29th.
This is heart-breaking for our Paris members, who have had enough heartbreak already, but hundreds of thousands will be marching all over the globe. And in Paris, people are donating their shoes to be lined up on the march route as a symbolic representation of their marching feet.
If we all join them by sending thousands of photos of us with our shoes,Avaaz will display our images in Paris to show Parisians they are not alone, and tell the world we all stand as one. Click below to join the virtual march now!
The biggest global climate summit of the decade is going ahead in Paris the day after the march. We have to make sure that the people speak, and leaders hear us, before they gather. Momentum is with us, but some countries like India and Saudi Arabia are making ominous moves to block global progress. We need a massive global outcry for a 100% clean energy world, to pressure the blockers, and bolster champions like Germany not to give in.
Paris was the biggest march planned, but the attacks there make it impossible. Once again, the actions of the few threaten the welfare of us all. But not if we rise to this moment. Humanity is wildly imperfect, but if we all join together we can shine our brightest in the darkest of times. On November 29th, everywhere, let’s shine our light. Join the virtual march now:
The fight to stop catastrophic climate change is not just about stopping a few more storms or a bit of sea rise. Scientists are screaming from rooftops that we are playing with uncontrollable tipping points and feedback loops in our fragile biosphere that could cause rapid, out of control climate change — the kind that could mean the end of the human journey. How strangely fitting that our greatest moment of rallying to save ourselves, the divisive and violent forces of our past would rise to try to take this moment from us. Let’s show who we are, and rise to this moment, with all the love and hope we know we’re capable. For the sake of everything we love.With hope and gratitude,
Emma, Alice, Danny, Rewan, David and the whole Avaaz team.
