The move goes against past statements made by President <keyword id="99719" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Joe-Biden">Joe Biden</keyword> on travel bans, including once stating that such restrictions would "not stop the coronavirus."Conservative critics of the president have <a href="https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/oct/23/donald-trump/trump-repeats-flawed-claim-biden-opposed-trumps-co/">misleadingly said</a> that Biden called President <keyword id="6354484" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Donald-Trump">Donald Trump</keyword>'s travel restrictions on China xenophobic, painting the new prohibitions on travel from India as hypocritical. Biden never explicitly said this, but he has gone back and forth on the issue of travel bans or restrictions. On the same day Trump announced travel restrictions on China last January, Biden during a campaign speech in Iowa said, "This is no time for Donald Trump's record of hysterical xenophobia and fear mongering to lead the way instead of science."The Biden campaign <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/03/26/trumps-faux-facts-fox-news/">told the Washington Post</a> that he was referencing Trump's call for travel bans during the Ebola crisis as well as his travel restrictions on predominantly Muslim countries, and pointed to similar remarks Biden made in a USA Today op-ed four days before the China ban was announced. "I remember how Trump sought to stoke fear and stigma during the 2014 Ebola epidemic," <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/01/27/coronavirus-donald-trump-made-us-less-prepared-joe-biden-column/4581710002/">Biden said</a> in the op-ed, denouncing Trump for pushing for "reactionary travel bans that would only have made things worse." Biden was also critical of Trump's restrictions on travel with regard to Europe. In <a href="https://twitter.com/JoeBiden/status/1238254697695326209?s=20">a tweet</a> last March after Trump suspended travel both to and from a number of European countries, Biden said, "A wall will not stop the coronavirus. Banning all travel from Europe - or any other part of the world - will not stop it. This disease could impact every nation and any person on the planet - and we need a plan to combat it." Around that time, Biden also unveiled a plan to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. Speaking to reporters on the plan, <a href="https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/joe-biden-speech-transcript-on-coronavirus-march-12-2020">Biden said,</a> "Banning all travel from Europe or any other part of the world may slow it, but as we've seen, it will not stop it. And travel restrictions based on favoritism and <keyword id="6358883" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="100" keywordseo="politics">politics</keyword> rather than a risk will be counterproductive."But Biden in early April then came out and expressed support for Trump's travel restrictions on China. "Joe Biden supports travel bans that are guided by medical experts, advocated by public health officials, and backed by a full strategy," Kate Bedingfield, Biden's deputy campaign manager at the time, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/03/politics/joe-biden-trump-china-coronavirus/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told CNN</a>. "Science supported this ban, therefore he did too."Some public health experts have <a href="https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/03/12/815146007/public-health-experts-question-trumps-ban-on-most-travelers-from-europe">questioned the efficacy of travel bans</a> in preventing the spread of COVID-19, though many have also advocated for <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/covid-surge-india-travel-restrictions/">varying levels of travel restrictions</a> regarding certain countries where the outbreaks are especially bad - including India. Lawrence Gostin, director of the O'Neill Institute for National and Global Health Law at Georgetown University Law Center, in <a href="https://twitter.com/LawrenceGostin/status/1388210151589564416?s=20">a tweet</a> on Friday said, "[The] US has started a humanitarian mission to assist India. A flat travel ban impedes our vital humanitarian goals. That's why proof of vaccination or a negative test makes sense, but not a ban. It doesn't stop the flow of medical supplies, but does help keep variants from our shores."

Burger King, which has over 400 outlets in India, is the latest fast-food giant in the country to remove the ingredient from their menus, per Reuters.McDonald's in India stopped serving tomatoes in July due to quality concerns as a result of shortages in supply, per <a href="https://www.cnbctv18.com/business/companies/mcdonalds-drops-tomatoes-from-menu-items-temporary-issue-prices-shortage-17150031.htm">CNBC TV18</a>.Following McDonald's, Subway in India also dropped tomatoes from its menu that same month, the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/after-mcdonalds-some-subway-outlets-drop-tomatoes-from-sandwiches-and-other-dishes/articleshow/102037408.cms?from=mdr">Times of India</a> reported.Like McDonald's, notices outside a few Subway outlets in New Delhi attributed the unavailability of tomatoes due to quality issues."Despite our best efforts, we are not able to get adequate quantities of tomatoes which pass our world class stringent quality checks. Hence for the time being we are forced to serve you products without tomatoes," a notice at a Subway outlet at the New Delhi airport read, per the Times of India. The prices of tomatoes have increased drastically in recent months.The daily average retail price per kilogram of tomatoes was 119.16 rupees, or $1.43, on July 16, up from 34.66 rupees, or $0.42, almost one year ago on August 16, 2022, per <a href="https://fcainfoweb.nic.in/Reports/DB/Dailyprices.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from India's Department of Consumer Affairs.In an effort to manage the tomato crisis, the Indian government has organized a fleet of vans to sell the crop at cheaper rates across the country, per Reuters.The National Cooperative Consumer's Federation of India <a href="https://twitter.com/Nccf_India/status/1682614049186500609?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1682614049186500609%7Ctwgr%5Efced103d5a6719e5259b9147dd7658cfe1dcd60d%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fworld%2Findia%2Fsome-subway-india-outlets-drop-tomatoes-citing-poor-quality-amid-price-surge-2023-07-22%2F">posted a video on X</a> — formerly known as Twitter — depicting the scene at one of these initiatives. In the video, many people can be seen queuing to buy tomatoes from a truck.

"It took about an hour of resuscitation before I was able to get him back. During this time, I asked the cabin crew on board if they had any medication," Velama said. "Luckily, they had an emergency kit, which to my utter surprise, included resuscitative medication to enable life support."Vemala, who only had oxygen and an automated external defibrillator available, then asked passengers on board if they had any equipment that could assist him.He was able to find a heart-rate monitor, blood pressure machine, pulse oximeter, and glucose meter to monitor the patient's vital signs, per the release.The man then suffered another heart attack and Vemala said it took far longer to revive him the second time. "He was without a good pulse or decent blood pressure for nearly two hours of the flight. Alongside the cabin crew, we were trying to keep him alive for five hours in total."He added: "It was extremely scary for us all, especially the other passengers, and it was quite emotional."The pilot requested permission to land at an airport in Pakistan, but the request was rejected. The plane instead landed in Mumbai, where emergency staff were waiting on the ground."By the time we landed the passenger had been resuscitated and was able to speak with me. Nevertheless, I insisted he go to a hospital to be checked over," Vemala said."The patient thanked me with tears in his eyes. He said: 'I am forever indebted to you for saving my life'."It was the first time that Vemala had treated a cardiac arrest. "During my medical training, it was something I had experience dealing with, but never 40,000 feet in the air," he said."It was also the first time in my seven years as a consultant that my mum had seen me 'in action,' so to speak, so that made it even more emotional – she was crying a lot."Air India didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by Insider.

Most Indian pizza chains are veering away from serving this option. Domino's Pizza has already removed pork pepperoni pizzas from its menu because apparently, the good quality meat is hard to come by. Pizza Hut too has followed suit by selling the pepperoni pizzas only in select states. According to a spokesperson for <keyword id="95677" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Jubilant-FoodWorks">Jubilant Foodworks</keyword>, the company that owns the franchise for Domino’s Pizza in India, “We are facing a few issues with respect to the supply of right quality materials. Hence, we have had to put this product temporarily on hold. We are actively working on the same and hope to sort it out soon. Earlier, we had even stopped selling cheese burst pizzas but brought it back because consumers were asking for it.” But it looks this is a perennial problem with miffed customers repeatedly complaining about its unavailability in India.

 However, the argument by the spokesperson was countered by Vicky Ratnani, culinary director for <keyword id="863336" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pizza-Express">Pizza Express</keyword> who told the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/top-pizza-chains-slice-pork-pepperoni-off-menu/articleshow/64392259.cms">Times Of India</a>, “We haven’t faced any problems with supply of pork pepperoni.” Then there is the ‘cost’ argument where, according to Ratnani, the quality of pepperoni that is imported surpasses the Indian version and thus is much more expensive and that translates to a lesser margin. Therefore, big chains choose to go with cheaper chicken variants of the pizzas that are more profitable. While supply and cost may be a reason for the removal from the menu, one school of thought believes that this is being done to cater to religious ‘sensibilities’ of those who consider the source of the meat unacceptable. Perhaps it’s time for pepperoni lovers to make peace with ‘chicken’ pepperoni or lamb ‘pepperoni’. And FYI, by definition, pepperoni is beef or pork sausage seasoned with pepper, chicken or lamb doesn't make the cut.

Sigh, pepperoni pizzas are sneaking out of most Indian pizza chain menus

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Passengers were able to buy tickets for a flight that didn't exist due to a ticketing mixup. </li><li>They were told at the airport that the airline had stopped serving the route, per the Times of India.</li></ul>A number of airline passengers were left stranded at an Indian airport after they were sold tickets for a flight that didn't exist, according to reports.The passengers only found out that their Go First flight between Hyderabad and New Delhi was no longer running after they arrived at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport on October 31, the <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/hyderabad/hyderabad-delhi-flyers-get-tickets-to-a-ghost-flight/articleshow/95240325.cms">Times of India</a> (TOI) reported. The airline had stopped operating on the route about a month prior, per TOI.Despite having valid Passenger Name Record (PNR) numbers that should have enabled them to check in for the flight, airport staff refused to let the travelers board. The staff then told them that the flight no longer existed, TOI reported.Go First, an Indian budget carrier, stopped operating the route on October 1. However, passengers were still able to purchase tickets through third-party ticket website Happyfares up until at least October 27, per TOI. The affected passengers purchased the tickets through a third-party ticket site Happyfares, the outlet reported. Happyfares had been sold the tickets by a sub-agent for the airline called Goflysmart. A representative from Goflysmart told the TOI that the airline sent an email on October 26 informing that the flight had changed. However, this was not updated on Happyfares, per industry publication <a href="https://simpleflying.com/go-first-passengers-booked-on-non-existent-flight/">Simple Flying</a>. Go First also continued to list the PNR on its website, per TOI.After finding out about their flight, some passengers had to pay double for a spot ticket, per the Times of India. Others have called for the country's aviation authority to take action against the airline. Passenger Ram Kumar Thota told the TOI that the airline should pay a heavy penalty "for putting us through such physical and mental agony." Thota said they were still awaiting a response from the airline.Neither Go First, Happyfares nor Goflysmart immediately responded to Insider's request for further comment, which came outside of standard business hours.

Meanwhile India has an insatiable need for coal. In addition to relying heavily on coal for making steel, the country uses coal for 70% of its power grid and is currently experiencing an unusually strong heatwave that has shuttered 20 coal plants in the country.
