'We wanted somebody to buy': Amid Trump's traffic threat, old video of former US ambassador Eric Garcetti backing India's Russian oil imports goes viral
Eric Garcetti, Donald Trump Amid US President Donald Trump 's threats to hike tariffs on goods from India over New Delhi buying Russian oil and India's pushback, saying the move was unjustified and vowing to protect national interest, an earlier statement by former US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, has highlighted a contradictory position within the US administration. In a video from last year, now widely shared on social media, Garcetti admits that it was the US that had, in fact, encouraged India to purchase oil from Russia to stabilise global oil prices. "They bought Russian oil because we wanted somebody to buy Russian oil at a price cap. That was not a violation or anything. It was actually the design of the policy because, as a commodity, we didn't want the oil prices going up, and they fulfilled that," Garcetti said at an event last year, while he was serving as the ambassador to India. India on Monday mounted a sharp counterattack on the US and the European Union for their "unjustified and unreasonable" targeting of New Delhi for its procurement of Russian crude oil. Firmly rejecting the criticism, the ministry of external affairs pointed out the continuing trade relations the US and the European Union have with Russia. External affairs ministry's response came hours after US President Donald Trump asserted that Washington will substantially raise tariffs on goods from India over its energy ties with Russia. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Photos Captured the Exact Wrong Moment Read More Undo Earlier, Trump said his administration will substantially raise tariffs on India. "India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then, for much of the oil purchased, selling it on the open market for big profits," he said in a social media post. "They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian War Machine," he said. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .

China's 996 workweek is knocking on America's door: Is Silicon Valley falling for the 70-hour grind?
(Representative image) There was a time when Silicon Valley served a dream on a platter, not just of a technology to revolutionise the world, but of lives built on flexibility, creativity, and a certain renegade freedom. Today, in the fluorescent-lit offices of AI startups from Palo Alto to SoMa, the dream is morphed and has become a subject of mockery. 12 hour shifts and six days a week are becoming the new norm of the American job market. The 21st century opened with the narratives of work-life balance, with beanbags, open offices, and kombucha on tap, it appears the next chapter may be authored in the image of a far more punishing model: China's 996 work culture, 9 AM to 9 PM, six days a week. Once vilified and outlawed in the country of origin, 996 is now knocking on America's doors, looking for a new traction in the heart of its tech frontier. The question isn't whether this trend exists. It does. The question is: What does its rise say about the future of ambition in America? Will Silicon Valley keep championing the employees who trade their sleep and sanity for the sake of so-called progress? A peek into the new reality At Rilla, a San Francisco-based AI startup, there's no pretence. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Stylish New Mobility Scooters Available for Seniors (Prices May Surprise You) Mobility Scooter | Search Ads Search Now Undo The job listing doesn't mince words: 'Do not apply unless you're excited about working approximately 70 hours a week.' It's not just a warning, it's a filter. Meals are provided, Saturdays included. The message is etched in black and white: This is the place where work should be your optimum priority, and is for the ones who breathe hustle. And this story does not end with a single company, but is slowly redefining the very fabric of American work culture, where work is no longer a part of life, but a life itself. 996 isn't creeping , it's charging in What was once the whispered domain of overworked founders is now becoming institutionalised. Google co-founder Sergey Brin recently described 60-hour weeks as the 'sweet spot' for his Gemini AI team. Elon Musk offered a more ruthless ultimatum at X: commit to 'extremely hardcore' work hours or take severance and go. Other startups are less subtle. San Francisco-based Fella & Delilah recently introduced a two-tier system, a 25% salary bump and double the equity for those opting into 996. Just under 10% of staff signed on. Meanwhile, recruiters are adjusting to the new expectations. Adrian Kinnersley, a long-time tech headhunter, reports a surge in companies asking for 996 commitments upfront. He's already registered the domain not as a gimmick, but in anticipation of a job market that no longer hides its demands behind euphemisms like "fast-paced" or "growth-minded." Why now? Why again? The answer to why there is a resurgence of extreme work culture, one has to look beyond office walls, to the geopolitical battle being waged in code and silicon. China's DeepSeek AI recently stunned Western researchers with models rivalling, even threatening, the dominance of OpenAI and Google DeepMind. Silicon Valley, long accustomed to leading from the front, suddenly feels the heat at its back. The reflex is primal: work harder. Work longer. Outbuild. Enter the 996 revival. It's no longer just about building great products; it's about defending America's place in a global AI arms race. British venture capitalist Harry Stebbings, never known for understatement, suggested that even 996 might now be passé. 'China's on 007,' he quipped. 'Midnight to midnight, seven days a week.' For Stebbings, working five days a week builds $100 million companies. Seven days? That's the $10 billion game. It's a mindset that both inspires and alarms, depending on where you stand. The fine print: Dreams vs. labour law The glorification of relentless toil does not come without repercussions. Labour law experts forewarn that numerous companies are operating far outside compliance, especially in California, which boasts some of the strictest protections for overtime, rest, and worker safety. But the law, as always, lags behind the culture. And culture is shifting fast. The truth is, there is less appetite, at least in the Valley, to run the ethos. Investors don't reward moderation. Founders don't get applause for leaving early. And in a climate where Gen Z founders equate sleep with mediocrity, the gravitational pull of extreme work is hard to resist. A warning from the East It's worth remembering: China tried this. It scaled the heights of innovation on the backs of millions of overworked engineers, only to be forced into a reckoning. Burnout, protests, suicides, and eventually, government intervention. In 2021, China made 996 illegal. The social cost had become too high. And now, in a twist almost too ironic to script, the United States is embracing the very culture China deemed untenable. The bigger question: What are we building , and at what cost? Work, at its best, is a vehicle for meaning, progress, and transformation. But when the engine is pushed too hard, too often, even the best machines break down. There is a huge fascination and allure to the narrative that genius only emerges through grind. Silicon Valley has long mythologised its titans, the Jobses, the Musks, the Zuckerbergs, as monks of obsession. But it is one thing to admire their intensity. It is another thing to institutionalise it. What happens when a whole generation mistakes exhaustion for excellence? When working through weekends isn't the exception but the expectation? The race for AI dominance is real. But the deeper race, the one that will shape our culture, our health, our future, is how we define the value of a human hour. If America is to lead the world in innovation, it must ask itself: Is it enough to work harder than China, or must we work smarter too? Ready to navigate global policies? Secure your overseas future.

Karnataka bus strike begins: Employees defy HC order as talks fail; thousands stranded across state
NEW DELHI: Public transport across Karnataka came to a grinding halt on Tuesday morning as employees of the state's road transport corporations launched an indefinite strike, leaving thousands of commuters stranded. The protest, sparked by long-pending demands for wage revision and salary arrears, continued despite an interim stay issued by the Karnataka high court. Passengers were left scrambling for alternatives, with bus services either suspended or severely limited in cities like Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi, Dharwad, Kalaburagi, Raichur, Shivamogga, and Chikkamagaluru. Visuals from major bus stands show long queues and overcrowded platforms, while in districts like Gadag, not a single NWKRTC bus operated out of the daily fleet of over 500. You Can Also Check: Bengaluru AQI | Weather in Bengaluru | Bank Holidays in Bengaluru | Public Holidays in Bengaluru — ANI (@ANI) Private operators and cab aggregators saw a spike in demand, with many passengers alleging overcharging by autorickshaws in Bengaluru and other cities. Commuters also criticized the state government for not addressing the issue sooner, even as disruption intensified. The strike follows the breakdown of negotiations between the Joint Action Committee of trade unions and the government. Employees are demanding clearance of 38 months' salary arrears and a wage revision effective from January 1, 2024. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is AI the secret to mastering a new language faster than ever? See why experts are buzzing. Talkpal AI Undo The government, however, has offered to settle only 14 months of dues, citing a one-man committee's recommendation. Despite the HC's interim order on Monday urging unions to defer the strike and avoid disrupting essential public services, the unions proceeded. KSRTC Staff and Workers' Federation president H V Anantha Subbarao said, "We are not satisfied. The strike will begin as planned. We want full 38 months' arrears." The government has warned of disciplinary action. KSRTC MD Akram Pasha said circulars enforcing a 'no work, no pay' policy have already been issued and that transport is an essential service under the Karnataka Essential Services Maintenance Act. BMTC MD R Ramachandran added, "Since BMTC provides essential services, employees are urged to not take part in the strike." The high court bench expressed concern over the prolonged delay in wage payments and questioned the state on its handling of the issue. Although the government had held two rounds of talks with union leaders, no breakthrough was reached. With over 1.1 crore people relying on Karnataka's state-run buses daily — including 40 lakh commuters in Bengaluru alone — the impact of the strike was widespread. The government has reportedly prepared contingency measures involving private operators to keep limited services running. The situation remains tense, with uncertainty over how long the strike will last and whether the state will step in with a revised offer or harsher action.
