China’s close manoeuvring near a U.S. ship in the Taiwan Strait was “clearly provocative,” says retired vice-admiral Mark Norman, former vice chief of the defence staff.

Speaking to Mercedes Stephenson on The West Block, Norman — a 39-year veteran of the Royal Canadian Navy and its former commander — said the Chinese captain “knew exactly what he was doing.” “This was not an accident,” he said.

Global News reported on Saturday that a Chinese warship came within 150 yards of hitting the American destroyer USS Chung-Hoon, an incident exclusively caught on film and seen first-hand by Global News reporter Mackenzie Gray.

Gray was aboard HMCS Montreal, which was slightly behind the American ship. HMCS Montreal’s commander, Capt. Paul Mountford, told Global News the incident was “clearly instigated by the Chinese.” Yesterday, we shot exclusive footage from HMCS Montreal, of a Chinese warship cutting off USS Chung-Hoon, coming within 150 yards of hitting the destroyer, a move the Commander of the Montreal called «intentional» & «unprofessional» Here's my story on the near collison <a href=«https://twitter.com/hashtag/cdnpoli?src=hash&ref_src=» https:>#cdnpoli pic.twitter.com/PaPLSwVNkp — Mackenzie Gray (@Gray_Mackenzie) <a href=«https://twitter.com/Gray_Mackenzie/status/1665236266089168896?ref_src=» https:>June 4, 2023 “The fact this was announced over the radio prior to doing it, clearly indicated this was intentional,” Mountford said on Saturday.

Businesses impacted by I-95 collapse bouncing back: 'It's definitely been busier'
PHILADELPHIA - Businesses impacted by the fiery collapse of Interstate 95 earlier this month say they are starting to see normal volume of customers again following the highway's expedited reopening. Alison Korbik, Catering Manager at Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse, told FOX 29 that business has "definitely been busier" since the once cratered overpass was repaired with an innovative fix.Investigators say on the morning of June 11 truck driver Nathan Moody, 53, was navigating a curve on the Cottman off-ramp when his tanker truck overturned and caught fire. Soon, the southbound stretch of the highway collapsed, killing Moody and miraculously sparing other motorists and bystanders on the heavily trafficked artery of highway. Most Northeast Philadelphia residents are happy I-95 is reopened and traffis returning to normal.The collapse spiraled traffic into chaos, with ever-changing detours and reroutes designed to navigate motorists that sometimes sent motorists into unfamiliar parts of the city. Nearby businesses, like Sweet Lucy's Smokehouse and Sharkeys Grill and Ale House, had their customer bases stunted by having a main route to the restaurants severed. "We did have a lot of people come during that time and say that they weren't going to come here because of the closure even though there were other ways to get to us," Korabik said.Pennsylvania state leaders, together with the federal government, worked around the clock and concocted a plan for a temporary fix that would ensure the safe reopening of I-95. Meanwhile, businesses that weren't impacted by the collapse showed some neighborly hospitality by promoting the businesses that were feeling the pinch. I-95 COLLAPSE COVERAGE"If you're nearby and it's on your route, stop on
