Kenya bags African title as World Rafting Cup debuts in Africa: Kenya became the first African country to host a World Rafting Cup event, with international teams competing on the Grade III and IV rapids of the Tana River in Sagana.

Bangladesh is buying its way into nuclear power on vendor credit: Rosatom is building the roughly $12.65 billion plant, and the price even covers the first few years of fuel.

Repayment runs over 20 to 25 years. That is how Russia sells reactors to economies that cannot pay upfront.

China and Russia are building most of the 80 reactors now under construction worldwide.
