 Putin woos African leaders at showcase summit, says Russia is better partner than 'colonial' West President Vladimir Putin told African leaders ​on Wednesday that Russia was their best partner, accusing what he cast as a colonial West of still trying ‌to exploit the continent's resources and using debt to hold back development, Reuters reported. The Kremlin chief was speaking at the third Russia-Africa Summit in Moscow, a two-day event attended by African leaders and government delegations from 48 countries, during which he will hold one-on-one talks with many of the 22 individual African leaders ​attending on everything from trade to security, arms deals and grain supplies. "Africa is increasingly asserting itself as one of the key players in the global economy and politics. However, the emergence of a multipolar world is, of ​course, no easy task; it faces resistance from countries that are not prepared to accept this reality: those who are accustomed to ​thinking i...

 King Charles Jokes About ‘Disaster’ After Knocking Down Plaque During Visit to Solar Panel Company


King Charles has called for a quicker move toward clean energy during a visit to Oxford Photovoltaics, the company behind advanced solar panel technology designed to capture more of the sun’s light and turn it into affordable power.


During the visit, the King met the scientists and innovators leading the work and praised their efforts in pushing renewable technology forward.


“I hope you can speed up the transition a bit,” he said, according to the BBC, referring to the move away from fossil fuels and toward renewable energy sources.


He went on to commend the team for their persistence and progress.


“I think you’re remarkable, how you’ve managed to keep it all going, but it does take time to get to the point where you can actually commercialize all these things,” he said.


The monarch also stressed the urgency of the work being done.


“We need it all badly, all your products,” he added. “Fantastic, applicable on one or two roofs.”


The visit gave the King a closer look at how the technology works. He was shown electron microscope images of perovskite, a material used alongside silicon to improve solar panel efficiency by absorbing different parts of the light spectrum.


The material is seen as a major step in making solar power more effective and accessible.


In a light moment during the visit, King Charles was presented with a custom-made solar panel cell as a keepsake.


“Will it actually do anything?” he joked as he accepted the gift, before warmly thanking the team.


“Well done. Thank you very much.”


The outing came just three days after another memorable royal moment involving the King and Queen Camilla.


During a visit to the Eden Project to mark the sustainable charity’s 25th anniversary, the couple shared a light-hearted exchange at a festive Big Lunch event.


As seen in a video shared by Hello! magazine on Instagram, the King was speaking with attendees when Queen Camilla, 78, tried to get his attention to show him something, adding yet another warm moment to the royal couple’s recent public appearances.
