The grand sumo champion Harumafuji, who is of Mongolian-descent, is alleged to have assaulted a lower-ranking wrestler and fellow Mongolian Takanoiwa.

Young residents in the Mongolian capital Ulaanbaatar, where sumo is a popular sport, gather weekly to learn the art of Japanese wrestling.

On Monday, 12 children ranging in age from 9 to 15 attended a lesson which focused on wrestling techniques and sumo bouts.

The children expressed their admiration for Harumafuji, who they described as one of the most popular sumo stars in Mongolia.

One 12-year-old boy said that he wanted to become a wrestler like Harumafuji who is renowned for his speed and skill in sumo bouts.

Another 11-year-old boy said that he believed Harumafuji will continue to be a good wrestler and that he hopes the Japanese public will support him.

According to the agreement seen by TASS, Rosneft will supply CEFC with 60.8 million tons of oil annually until 2023. The price of the oil would be pegged to the global crude market.

The agreement covers the development of exploration and production projects in Siberia. The two companies plan to cooperate in refining, petrochemicals and crude trading.

CEFC expects to receive up to ten million tons of ESPO (Eastern Siberia-Pacific Ocean pipeline) crude from Russia’s Far East next year; an unknown source told Reuters, adding the rest would be Urals grade and a smaller amount of Sokol crude. Two months ago CEFC agreed to buy a 14.16 percent stake in Rosneft for $9.1 billion.

According to the Russian producer, the deal will increase direct supplies of crude oil to the “strategic Chinese market and ensure a guaranteed cost-efficient export channel for the company's crude sales.”

Russian exports to China have more than doubled over the past six years, up by more than 550,000 barrels a day. The country began supplying China with crude using the Skovorodino-Mohe branch of the ESPO pipeline in 2011. That followed agreements between Rosneft, Transneft, and China National Petroleum Corporation’s (CNPC).

In 2014, Rosneft and CNPC inked a 25-year oil deal worth $270 billion under which the Russian company is expected to supply 360.3 million tons of crude to China.

The e-commerce giant is bringing in extra people to work in its warehouses and customer service centers, and to work with some of its Prime service offerings, including Prime Pantry, which delivers everyday packaged goods to consumers. As we can see in this chart from Statista, the number of seasonal employees Amazon hires has grown considerably since 2012 as e-commerce has taken off.

Amazon seasonal workers have an entire culture of their own and include a group of traveling workers nicknamed "CamperForce." Primarily made up of retirees, the group lives in recreational vehicles and works 3 to 4 months in the fall and winter in preparation for the holidays. 

This year's seasonal hires will be in addition to the massive number of people Amazon has already added to its workforce. The company's employee base swelled by 159,500 people in just three months between the end of June and the end of September this year.

As part of an alliance with Auchan Retail S.A. [AUCH.UL] and Ruentex Group, Alibaba would buy the stake from Ruentex while Auchan Retail would boost its stake, the three companies said in a joint statement.

The alliance would target opportunities in China’s $500 billion food retail sector, as Alibaba races to build big-data capabilities in the offline retail market where roughly 85 percent of sales are made.

“Physical stores serve an indispensable role during the consumer journey, and should be enhanced through data-driven technology and personalized services in the digital economy,” Alibaba Chief Executive Officer Daniel Zhang said in the statement.

Shares of Hong Kong-listed Sun Art, which were suspended on Nov. 13, resumed on Monday and were down 5.3 percent in morning trade, while the benchmark index .HSI was flat.

The deal would give French retailer Groupe Auchan SA, China’s Alibaba Group and Taiwanese conglomerate Ruentex 36.18 percent, 36.16 percent and 4.67 percent stakes respectively in Sun Art. Alibaba would replace Ruentex as the second-largest shareholder.

Alibaba has invested upwards of $9.3 billion in brick-and-mortar stores since 2015. It has launched many un-staffed concept shops in the past year, including grocery and coffee stores.

The $474 billion firm is taking more risks to secure offline, rural and overseas buyers as China’s urban e-commerce market shows signs of saturating, including purchasing extensive infrastructure which it had previously avoided.

“They’re getting into a territory that’s not their core strength ... for example securing a property, the licenses to sell certain products, paying tax, more labor and so on,” said Bain & Company analyst Weiwen Han.

“On one hand they really need to do it, but on the other hand they are facing a lot of challenges that they have never experienced before.”

Sun Art is China’s grocery store leader with about 8.2 percent of the market, according to data from Kantar Worldpanel.

It operates about 450 hypermarkets across China under the RT-Mart and Auchan banners. It also operates unmanned stores under the Auchan Minute brand.

It has been slow to go online, with its platform Feiniu lagging bigger players like China Resources and Wal-Mart Stores Inc (WMT.N).

In a separate statement, Sun Art said Alibaba’s Taobao China Holding Ltd would make a general offer for the company at HK$6.50 apiece.

On Sunday, Toshiba announced the decision, which was made by its board.

The firm says the funds raised will help the company improve its financial situation and avoid being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Toshiba has already decided to sell its semiconductor subsidiary in order to settle the company's debts by next March and avoid the delisting.

The board came up with the new share-selling plan because there are concerns that the anti-trust assessment of the chip sale, which is now underway in the relevant countries, may not be completed in time to allow the firm to meet the March deadline.

The sales are expected to increase the volume of the company's shares by 50 percent. This could effectively undermine the current shareholders.

Regarding such concerns, Toshiba says the primary purpose of the investment is not to influence Toshiba's business operations, but rather to make a net profit.

But analysts say they will watch what the investors do with the shares they've acquired.

Toshiba's largest shareholder is Singapore-based Effissimo Capital Management, which was established by former colleagues of Japan's most famous activist investor Yoshiaki Murakami.
