China has partially lifted its ban on seafood imports from Japan after two years, amid concerns related to the Fukushima nuclear plant's treated waste water release.

• Imports are resuming from most of Japan’s regions, except 10 prefectures, including Tokyo and Fukushima.
• The decision follows findings from China's General Administration of Customs that monitoring of nuclear-contaminated water showed “no abnormalities.”
• Japan views the lifting of the ban as a “positive” move, continuing efforts to restore its seafood exports with a focus on safety.

A group of 50 Kenyan workers recently departed for Russia, seeking job opportunities aimed at combatting youth unemployment. They will earn Sh115,000 monthly while working in a food packing factory.

• The recruits will receive free accommodation and meals.
• The recruitment was facilitated by the agency Yumna and supported by the Uwezo Fund.
• The move raises concerns about worker rights and ethical recruitment standards in Kenya's growing labour migration strategy.
