OPEC 'panicking' as push to phase out fossil fuels gathers momentum at COP28
Saturday, 9 December 2023 Oil states are pressing the panic button after a proposal to end the fossil fuel era gathered unprecedented support at the current United Nations climate talks, according to veteran overseers of the talks.
Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister emphasized Russia's critical participation is needed for credible Ukraine peace negotiations, while reiterating Saudi's commitment to supporting efforts for sustainable peace. However, Saudi appears unwilling to go against its OPEC ally Russia, as evidenced by Zelensky's failed attempt to woo Saudi's Crown Prince for a peace summit excluding Moscow.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced on Sunday that the Trinamool Congress-led state government would provide shelter to people fleeing violence in Bangladesh if they seek refuge in Bengal. Speaking at a mega 'Martyrs' Day' rally in Kolkata, Banerjee emphasized the humanitarian duty to aid those in need, referencing the United Nations' resolution on refugee protection. "I cannot speak anything about Bangladesh as it is another country. The Indian government will speak about that. But if helpless people (from Bangladesh) knock on Bengal's door, we will give them shelter. There is a resolution of the UN. Neighbours will respect refugees," Banerjee declared amid heavy rain.
