VIDEO: Karine Jean-Pierre Ends Press Conference Abruptly, Declines Reporter’s Question
White House Press Secretary Ends Press Conference Amidst Controversy
In a dramatic turn of events, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre abruptly concluded Thursday’s press conference after a persistent reporter demanded to be acknowledged. The tension escalated when National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby took the stage to discuss President Joe Biden’s meeting with Angolan President João Lourenço at the White House.
However, the conference took an unexpected twist when Simon Ateba from Today News Africa interrupted Kirby, expressing his surprise that an African leader was being received without allowing an African journalist to ask a question. Jean-Pierre intervened, signaling for Kirby to leave and stating, “We can end this briefing if it’s not going to be respectful here.”
Despite Ateba’s continued attempts to speak, Jean-Pierre made the decision to abruptly conclude the press briefing, refusing to entertain any further questions. This action left Ateba feeling disappointed and disheartened, as he expressed his frustration on social media, highlighting the lack of inclusivity and discrimination he has faced as an African journalist.
Later, Ateba accused Jean-Pierre of dishonesty, claiming that she “stormed out to pretend I shut the briefing.”

What techniques can be used to identify and select organisms that have successfully incorporated the gene of interest in genetic engineering
The process of genetic engineering involves modifying the genetic material (DNA) of an organism to introduce new traits or modify existing ones. This is done by using various techniques to manipulate the DNA of an organism and introduce foreign genes into its genome.
The first step in genetic engineering is to identify and isolate the gene of interest. This gene may be obtained from the same species or from a different species altogether. Once the gene is identified, it is isolated and amplified through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
After amplification, the gene is inserted into a vector, which is typically a plasmid or a viral vector. The vector acts as a carrier or a vehicle to deliver the gene into the target organism. In order to insert the gene into the vector, both the gene and the vector are cut using restriction enzymes, and then joined together using DNA ligase.
The next step is to introduce the vector carrying the foreign gene into the target organism. This can be done through a process called transformation, which involves either directly injecting or indirectly inserting the vector into the cells of the organism. In the case of plants, for example, this can be done by inserting the vector into plant cells using a technique called Agrobacterium-mediated transformation.
Once the gene is successfully introduced into the target organism, it needs to be integrated into the host genome. This can happen randomly or at specific target sites, depending on the techniques used. The integrated gene is then expressed, meaning it is transcribed into RNA and translated into protein.
The final step in genetic engineering is to select and identify the organisms that have successfully incorporated the gene of interest. This is done by screening for the presence of the gene or the desired trait. Techniques such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or Southern blotting may be used for this purpose.
Genetic engineering has a wide range of applications, including crop improvement, production of pharmaceuticals, creation of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and gene therapy for treating genetic disorders.
