US ex-diplomat sentenced to 15 years for spying for Cuba over decades
reut.rs/3TVi3bC
Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
- Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.
- Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.
- The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.
- The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.

Quick Glance: First CO2-Neutral Containership Revolutionizes Shipping
- The 'Ane Maersk' containership with methanol propulsion arrives in Hamburg, reducing CO2 emissions and aiming to be completely CO2-free by 2040.
- Utilizing green methanol as fuel allows for a daily CO2 saving of 280 tons compared to traditional heavy oil ships.
- Maersk invests in e-methanol production facilities, while customers pay extra per container for the green label.
- The introduction of methanol technology in shipping requires political support, as methanol supply is limited until 2050 and conventional fuel prices remain low.
