Six Amazon workers died when a deadly tornado devastated a warehouse in Illinois on Friday.

“We are seeing the Amazon rainforest being destroyed by a government which made environmental destruction its public policy.”

"Why can only the EU protect its citizens?", one person tweeted in response.

At a meeting in New York, the Amazon founder said it was up to governments to set taxation frameworks.

"When they’re p*ssing in bottles rather than be fired for toilet breaks this sounds more like a taunt," James Felton said.

“Imagine if we could prohibit fires in the Amazon – it could be a carbon sink. But we are doing the opposite – we are accelerating climate change," a researcher has said.

French finance minister Bruno Le Maire called it “the most important international tax agreement in a century”.

"From a Friday to a Friday our target was to generally destroy 130,000 items a week," including laptops, drones and top of the range headphones.

It comes as finance ministers from the G7, including the UK, have agreed on making big corporations pay more tax, but Amazon may escape the measures.
