The US accuses China of cyber-spying on six Americann companies.

A US grand jury has indicted five Chinese individuals with cyber espionage charges for allegedly targeting six American companies and stealing trade secrets, the US Justice department said, publicly accusing China of cyber spying for the first time.

The hackers targeted US companies in the nuclear power, metals and solar products industries to steal inflammations useful to competitors in China.

The companies targeted include Alcoa Inc, United States Corp, Allegheny Technologies Inc, Westinghouse Electric Co and US subsidiaries of Solar World AG.
The move "indicates that DOJ has 'smoking keyboards' and (is) willing to bring the evidence to a court of law and be more transparent," said Frank Cilluffo, head of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at the George Washington University

Who is holland going to go with to this vivit of Obama?

When French President Francois Hollande flew to Washington this week for a state visit, he brought along a lot of baggage.

Hollande left France know and admitted that he cheated on his partner of seven years with a younger movie actress, making this week's trip something of an escape for the embattled president.

The former French first lady Valerie Trierweiler whom Obama said in November he was looking forward to hosting, isn't coming to the White House now that Hollande has announced their split.

He says his private life is private, but Hollande's not denying the affair. Now he's in America solo for one of Washington's most tradition-bound events, where protocol dictates nearly everything and a slip-up, however unlikely, could wind up offending a top ally.
