MILITARY COUP: NIGER IS SUSPENDED BY AFRICAN UNION

Image
The African Union said Tuesday it had suspended Niger until civilian rule in the country is restored and would assess the implications of any armed intervention in the troubled Sahel nation. The Peace and Security Council “requests the AU Commission to undertake an assessment of the economic, social and security implications of deploying a standby force in Niger and report back to Council,” the bloc said, following strong differences on the matter. Army officers toppled President Mohamed Bazoum on July 26, prompting the West African regional bloc ECOWAS to threaten to use force to reinstate him. ECOWAS — the Economic Community of West African States — agreed to activate a “standby force” as a last resort to restore democracy in Niger. He said he was ready to act, even as he continued to harbor hopes of a diplomatic solution. Last week, the AU held a crisis meeting amid divergent views within the bloc on any military intervention. The coup has heightened international concern for the Sa

WORLD'S FIRST SUPER-FAST CHARGING BATTERY DELIVERS 400 KM FROM 10 MINUTES CHARGE

Image
The world's largest battery maker has launched what it claims is the first 'super-fast charging' battery capable of delivering 400 kilometers (249 miles) of range on a single charge in just 10 minutes. China Amperex Contemporary Technology Ltd (CATL) says its new lithium-ion battery will usher in a new era for electric cars and eliminate owners' anxiety.  When fully charged, the battery is charged enough to travel more than 700 km without recharging, about 60% higher than an average electric vehicle in 2023.   CATL says the increase in battery capacity and charging time is achieved by an "all-new superconducting electrolyte formulation" that improves conductivity. “The future of EV battery technology must be firmly held at the global technological frontier, along with economic benefits,” said Dr. Wu Kai, Chief Scientist at CATL.   As electric vehicle consumers move from pioneer to mainstream, we need to make innovative technology accessible to everyone and all

HARRY KANE OF ENGLAND MAKES HIS BAYERN MUNICH DEBUT WITH LEIPZIG

Image
(photo credits: The mirror) The striker entered the game as a 64th-minute replacement to a loud ovation at the Allianz Arena just hours after concluding his £86 million transfer from Tottenham on Saturday. He made a few impressions, but not many. For Leipzig, Dani Olmo scored a hat-trick to prevent Harry Kane, 30, from winning his first professional trophy. After a cross was not cleared, Olmo scored his first goal into the bottom corner. He spun Matthijs de Ligt with his second strike before slipping it through Sven Ulreich's legs. After Kane's entry, the Spain attacker scored a penalty to complete his hat trick. Once he gets to know his new team in Germany, Kane will experience better days. Given that he had only joined Bayern on the day in question, it came as a minor surprise that he was involved. In his professional career, he has scored 354 goals and holds the scoring records for Tottenham (280) and England (58). In light of the fact that Leipzig lost three of their top pl

A COURT SENTENCES TEN MEN TO A DECADE IN PRISON

Image
(Jantakareporter) Recently, a court in India sentenced 10 men to a decade each in prison for lynching a Muslim man, who was tortured to death after being forced to chant Hindu religious slogans four years ago. The young man by name Tabrez Ansari, 24 years, was tied to an electricity pole and tortured in an interval of 12 hours by a mob in June 2019 after being accused of breaking into a house and stealing a motorbike in the eastern state of Jharkhand. Videos from the assault showed Ansari being forced to chant 'Jai Shri Ram' (hail Lord Ram) and ‘Jai Hanuman’ (hail Hanuman) – religious slogans appropriated by Hindu hardliners – while he pleaded for his life. Despite Ansari chanting the slogan, the mob kept assaulting him through the night. The local police arrested Ansari the next day for theft. He complained of nausea and chest pain on 22 June and was transferred to a hospital where he surrendered to death due to his injuries. (photo credit: bbc) The video of the assault trigge
