China will push ahead with the development of its hydrogen energy and fuel cell vehicle industry, a government official said Tuesday as part of wider efforts to promote green energy in the world’s largest auto market.

“We believe that hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and pure electric vehicles will coexist and complement each other for a long time to meet the needs of transportation and people’s travel,” said the MIIT official.

Senior industry executives and academics in China have urged the government to support hydrogen fuel cell technology due to its suitability for commercial transport.

Japan’s Toyota Motor Corp plans to supply fuel cell components to China’s commercial auto makers, launching a joint research institute with Tsinghua University last week.

China will also produce and distribute hydrogen fuel cell vehicles to Brazil. Grove Hydrogen Automotive Co. Ltd. based in Hubei province signed an agreement at the 2019 Shanghai International Auto Show with the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil to import the new technology.

“Much like China, Brazil is a country rich in geographic resources,” said Professor Hao Yiguo, CEO and Founder of Grove Hydrogen Automotive. “Grove is focused on establishing sustainable mobility worldwide, and in Minas Gerais we have the partner and the location to create green cars as what we are currently doing in China.”

BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany’s far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) has invited U.S. President Donald Trump’s former strategist Steve Bannon to a media conference in Berlin for right-wing journalists and bloggers just two weeks before European elections.

The office of AfD lawmaker Petr Bystron confirmed a report in Der Spiegel magazine that the invitation to the May 11 event entitled “1. Conference of the Free Media” would discuss how to better and more efficiently shape information in future.

“We are now discussing the details,” Bystron was quoted by Spiegel as saying and the magazine said Bannon had been invited to the Bundestag lower house of parliament.

Eurosceptic, nationalist parties, including the AfD, are expected to make big gains in the elections to the European Parliament on May 26.

One poll last month published in German daily Bild said far-right parties could double the number of their seats.

The degree to which President Trump and his spinners have diverged from and lied about Robert S. Mueller III’s report should shock but not surprise us. Trump operates in a world of his own making, one in which he and Fox News spin a parallel set of facts that bear only passing resemblance to reality.

McGahn, next to Mueller, may do more to puncture Trump’s web of lies than any witness. Trump has reason to panic that his bogus narrative is about to explode.

Two brothers initially arrested in connection with an alleged assault on Jussie Smollett but later released have sued two of the "Empire" star's attorneys, claiming defamation.

Olabinjo and Ambimbola Osundairo, who had worked as extras on the Fox series, claim that even though charges were dropped against Smollett, his attorneys “doubled down, not simply affirming that Mr. Smollett was a wholly innocent victim, but that (among other accusations) Plaintiffs unequivocally led a criminally homophobic, racist, and violent attack against Mr. Smollett.”

“Defendants made these comments knowing they were untrue to distract from Mr. Smollett’s farce and to promote themselves and the Geragos & Geragos Law Firm,” the brothers said in their lawsuit.

The brothers’ lawsuit specifically names attorneys Tina Glandian and Mark Geragos.
