💬“[The] US is pushing Taiwan to violate its own constitution and there are large numbers of people in Taiwan, in the political class, that are not happy with this, not to mention the majority, the vast majority of the people on Taiwan Island. They do not want to be weaponized."

🌪 Fiona slams Dominican Republic after pounding Puerto Rico
The blow from Fiona was made more devastating because Puerto Rico has yet to recover from Hurricane Maria, which killed nearly 3,000 people and destroyed the power grid in 2017.
Authorities reported no deaths directly from the hurricane, but Puerto Rico officials said it was too early to know the full scope of damage. The storm was still expected to unleash torrential rain across the US territory that is home to 3.2 million people.
Meanwhile in the Dominican Republic, the government’s emergency center reported downed trees and power poles. Nearly 800 people were evacuated to safer locations, and more than 500 were in shelters, officials said.

‼️ Estonia fears surge in number of Ukrainian refugees as winter coming, Deputy Chancellor says
The number of Ukrainians seeking temporary protection in Estonia may increase significantly in the coming months, as the civilian infrastructure in Ukraine is seriously damaged and unsuitable to survive the looming cold winter, Veiko Kommusaar, deputy chancellor of the interior ministry, said on Tuesday.
"If today we have accepted and granted temporary protection to slightly more than 35,000 people due to the combination of these bad circumstances, we consider it quite likely that 45,000 people may have received temporary protection in Estonia by the end of January," Kommusaar said in an interview with Estonian broadcaster ERR.
Kommusaar assumed that the number of recipients of temporary protection may increase to over 50,000 people, with those refugees who do not seek help from the state will be added to them. Currently, there are about 15,000 such refugees in Estonia.
According to Kommusaar, the cold winter will certainly play a role in this issue, as well as in how quickly it will be possible to restore communication and heating in the districts.

🛢 Environment groups attack EU’s green label for gas, nuclear
ClientEarth, WWF’s European Policy Office, Transport & Environment (T&E), and BUND said on Monday that they have asked for an internal review over the decision to mark gas as "sustainable."
The groups argue that giving gas a sustainable label clashes with other EU laws and does not respect the EU’s commitments and obligations under the 2015 Paris accords. The European Commission has up to 22 weeks to reply and the groups say they will take the action to the Court of Justice.
With the EU aiming to reach climate neutrality by 2050 and to cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030, the commission says the classification system is crucial to direct investments into sustainable energy. It estimates that about 350 billion euros of investment per year will be needed to meet the 2030 targets.

💊 $147M opioid settlement with CVS, Walmart
Walmart and CVS Pharmacy have settled with the state of West Virginia for a combined total of $147 million in a lawsuit over the companies’ roles in contributing to the oversupply of prenoscription drugs that fueled the opioid epidemic in the country’s most impacted state, Attorney General Patrick Morrisey announced Tuesday.
Walmart and CVS were two lawsuits that were part of a larger trial that was pushed back to June of next year along with Kroger and Walgreens. Morrisey recently announced a settlement with Rite Aid for up to $30 million to resolve similar litigation.
In August, West Virginia cities and counties reached a $400 million tentative settlement with three major US drug distributors: AmerisourceBergen, Cardinal Health and McKesson. In April, Morrisey announced the state would receive $99 million in a settlement finalized with Johnson & Johnson’s subsidiary Janssen Pharmaceuticals Inc.
