Hapa chini ni maneno ya Janet Yellen - US Sec of Treasury

The US and its western allies must react “in a united way” to China’s growing manufacturing power or put their own industries at risk, the Treasury secretary said in a speech in Germany on Tuesday.

Mtu anayeipenda USA and westerns naye ni shetani kabisa.

Yaani Chinese manufacturing power is threaten to the world.

Russian physicist Anatoly Maslov has been convicted of treason, according to the press service for courts in the city of Saint Petersburg.

On Tuesday, he was sentenced to 14 years in a penal colony. Maslov, 77, who protests his innocence, is among a string of eminent Russian scientists to have been charged with treason in recent years.

He and a number of the others had conducted theoretical work in areas relevant to the development of hypersonic missiles – cutting-edge weapons capable of carrying payloads at up to 10 times the speed of sound to punch through air-defence systems.

Maslov was accused of sharing top-secret data related to Russia’s hypersonic missile programme with Germany.

Alexander Shiplyuk and Valery Zvegintsev, two other scientists from the same Siberian institute, all specialists in hypersonics, who have also been arrested since 2022 on treason charges, are awaiting trial.

President Vladimir Putin has said repeatedly that Russia is a world leader in this field of weaponry.

Lawyer Yevgeny Smirnov of Pervy Otdel (First Department), an association that specialises in defending people in cases of treason and espionage, said the charges against the three scientists were approximately the same – leaking information considered a state secret while participating in an international conference or research.

“Any conviction against Maslov is a gross violation of the law,” he told the Reuters news agency.

Georgia’s government press service quotes the PM:

“Even against the backdrop of continued blackmail [from the West], the threat that was made in a telephone conversation with one of the European Commissioners was stunning. In a conversation with me, the European Commissioner listed a number of measures that the Western partners could take if the veto on the transparency law is overridden. Listing these measures, he noted: ‘You saw what happened to Fico, and you must be very careful.’”

The US will designate Kenya as a “major non-Nato ally” as Washington seeks to upgrade its relations with Nairobi at a time of growing Russian and Chinese influence in Africa.

The step will be announced on Thursday at a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Kenya’s President William Ruto during the first state visit by an African leader to Washington in more than 15 years.

The announcement comes as Kenya prepares to send up to 1,000 police officers to Haiti as part of an international effort backed by the US to try to stabilise the security situation in the Caribbean nation. The US has pledged $300mn to underwrite the cost of a Kenyan-led security force.

Kenya will be one of 19 countries — and the first from sub-Saharan Africa — to receive the US designation of “major non-Nato ally”. This involves a higher level of security co-operation with the US, though it does not involve any specific defence guarantees.

“This visit will . . . highlight Kenya’s important role in global peace and security,” Jake Sullivan, the US national security adviser, told reporters on Wednesday.
