Canada, Denmark reach deal to end dispute over tiny Arctic island

Arctic and is expected to be signed Tuesday, according to a government minister.Dan Vandal, minister of northern affairs, confirmed Monday that there will be an “official signing” of the accord over Hans Island on Tuesday.The barren rock has been the subject of decades of diplomatic disputes between the two nations, as it sits in the territorial waters of both.The agreement is expected to divide the uninhabited island between Ellesmere Island, in Nunavut, and Greenland, an autonomous Danish territory. Canada, 6 other countries leave Arctic Council over Russia’s war in Ukraine Vandal, speaking to reporters on Monday, said he was “looking forward” to the signing of the agreement and would attend the ceremony.He said “discussions have been going on for a long time” and “the important part is that the deal got done and we are going to have the signing tomorrow.”“I think it’s very positive given our world situation today,” he said.The deal is likely to mean that Canada, for the first time, shares a land border with Denmark.The dispute over the small island has led to good-natured jostling since the 1980s between Canada and Denmark over which country rightfully owns it.In 1984, Canada planted a flag on the island and left a bottle of Canadian whisky.Later that year, Denmark’s minister of Greenland affairs visited by helicopter, planting a Danish flag.

Why a Northern California gas station is charging nearly $10 a gallon

MENDOCINO, Calif. - Gas prices at one Northern California gas station are getting very close to $10 a gallon.A Chevron station in Mendocino was charging $9.63 this week for a gallon of regular gas.Aldo Vazquez, who works at AAA Northern California, says it costs more to bring gas to this rural area, so that company has to charge more to stay in business."When you factor in transportation costs, the proximity to pipelines, those can also add up to the price of gasoline," Vaszquez said on Monday. "That’s why we always recommend doing your research because if you can find a different route, you may end up in an area with cheaper prices."It's still expensive to buy gas elsewhere in the country, but way less expensive than California, which has the highest average in the nation hovering around $6.40 a gallon, according to AAA.

Ukraine: 100-200 soldiers die daily, new plea for more arms

Relatives say goodbye to the dead Ukrainian soldier in Poltava, Ukraine, on June 10, 2022. (Photo by Pavlo Pakhomenko/NurPhoto via Getty Images) KYIV, Ukraine - Up to 200 Ukrainian soldiers are being killed every day in Russia’s military onslaught, according to an adviser to Ukraine’s president — and only more and more advanced Western weaponry will turn back the Russian offensive, reduce the casualties and force Moscow to the negotiating table.Mykhailo Podolyak told the BBC in an interview aired Thursday that the daily loss of between 100 and 200 Ukrainian soldiers is the result of a "complete lack of parity" between Ukraine and Russia, which has "thrown pretty much everything non-nuclear at the front" in its bid to advance in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and beyond.Recently Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy put the daily death toll at up to 100, but Podolyak said it had grown.

Biden to speak at Port of Los Angeles as high inflation persists as threat

LOS ANGELES - The Port of Los Angeles is a testament to President Joe Biden’s unrewarded efforts to address what he calls his top economic priority: inflation.Biden will speak at the port, America's busiest, on Friday with inflation persisting as a problem that has eluded his policy tweaks, deals brokered with the private sector, infrastructure spending and regulatory actions.The port moved to round-the-clock operations last October under an agreement that the White House helped to shepherd. The goal was to remove backlogs of ships waiting to dock and containers waiting to flow into the country, a logjam that was pumping up prices as the world began to recover from the coronavirus pandemic.The port is now moving out a record 200,000 containers on a rolling 30-day average.

National Defence looking at potential ‘impacts’ after cyberattack on military contractor

Department of National Defence (DND) is probing for potential “impacts” after a military contractor notified them of a recent cyberattack, allegedly by a ransomware group with Russian ties.DND confirmed Tuesday that CMC Electronics, a Montreal-based aerospace company, recently alerted the Canadian government to a “cyber breach related incident” at their company in late May. Canadian spy agency targeted foreign hackers to ‘impose a cost’ for cybercrime Procurement records show the company has done millions in work for the Canadian Armed Forces, chiefly in aerospace engineering and research and development — approximately $19.5 million since 2011, according to DND.The majority of the contracts (66) were for research and development or engineering services.The government announced on May 30 that CMC would be part of a team working on an $800 million job to upgrade Canada’s 85 CH-146 Griffon helicopters.“DND/CAF does not comment on the cyber or IM/IT approaches of third-party vendors; however, we recognize the importance of cyber security in defence and defence contracting,” said Jessica Lamirande, a spokesperson for National Defence, in a statement to Global News.Lamirande added that none of DND’s internal systems employ CMC Electronics technology.“We are continuing to monitor this situation, while ensuring DND/CAF information is safeguarded.”Repeated efforts to reach CMC Electronics were unsuccessful.

Putin abruptly delays annual TV Q&A amid suspicion he faces hidden health problems

Russian President Vladimir Putin has delayed an annual live TV Q&A with members of the public amid rumours he faces hidden health problems.The Direct Line to Vladimir Putin event typically runs for three-to-four hours and has aired in June for four of the past five years, with the exception being during the Covid pandemic.It is thought that his rumoured health issues - which include supposed cancer and Parkinson's disease - may mean he is unable to remain on TV for that amount of time. Another theory suggests that the postponement may be due to fears that he'll be interrogated over his floundering invasion of Ukraine.

Russian accused of killing Alexander Litvinenko reportedly dies from Covid-19

London has died of Covid-19 in Moscow, according to reports.Dmitri Kovtun was one of two men who a UK inquiry ruled had poisoned Litvinenko’s tea with a rare radioactive substance back in 2006.Reports from state-owned Russian news agency Tass said Kovtun contracted coronavirus before dying in a Moscow hospital.Kovtun, along with Andrei Lugovoi, was accused of being behind Litvinenko’s assassination 16 years ago at the Millennium Hotel in Mayfair.Reports said Tass cited Lugovoi, now a member of Russia’s parliament, as saying that he was mourning the death of a “close and faithful friend”.A British public inquiry concluded in 2016 that the killing of the outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin, who died after drinking tea laced with radioactive polonium-210, had “probably” been carried out with the approval of the Russian president.The inquiry found the two Russian men had deliberately poisoned Litvinenko by putting the radioactive substance into his drink at the central London hotel, leading to an agonising death.The European Court of Human Rights also ruled last year, following a case brought by the deceased’s widow, Marina Litvinenko, that Russia was responsible for his killing.Russia has always denied any involvement in the death and had refused to comply with international arrest warrants issued for Kovtun and Lugovoi.

Pain at the pump: Gas costs nearly $10 a gallon at this California station

MENDOCINO, Calif. - Each week, the price of gas across the country – but especially in California – gets impossibly higher.Just before Memorial Day, the Chevron on Alameda de las Pulgas in Menlo Park hit $7.25 a gallon.Then, this week, one Chevron in Los Angeles was selling gas for more than $8 a gallon. And now, we've spotted gasoline costing $9.50 a gallon at a gas station in Mendocino. These prices are well over the average price of gas in the Golden State, which last weekend surpassed $6 a gallon for the first time ever, according to the AAA. This is an all-time high for the state.Breaking it down by cities, on Friday, the average price in Oakland is $6.37 a gallon, San Jose is $6.38 a gallon and San Francisco is $6.50 a gallon. The prices are curbing drivers' plans. Laura Dena and her sons would have typically go to Southern California around Memorial Day weekend to escape Arizona’s scorching heat.

Canada alarmed as Chinese fighter pilots ‘buzz’ Canadian planes over international waters

Chinese fighter pilots in the skies above the Asia-Pacific region.Multiple sources in the Canadian Forces and the federal government tell Global News that Chinese jets are repeatedly “buzzing” a Canadian intelligence plane that is part of a United Nations mission over international waters.Those jets are frequently flying as close as 20 to 100 feet from the Canadian planes, sources say — so close that Canadian pilots can make eye contact with the Chinese pilots, and sometimes see them raising their middle fingers. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive information.“(That distance is) scary close at those high speeds, and it could lead to disaster in a crash,” said Charles Burton, a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute in Ottawa.“You do it too much, and eventually, sometime, it’s going to go wrong.” As China pressed over Russia stance, Canada’s MPs revive special committee on ties The Canadian CP-140 Aurora plane is currently taking part in Operation Neon, part of UN efforts to prevent North Korea’s development of weapons of mass destruction.

Major headwinds While massive cost-cutting cushioned profits, a spike in inflation, crude oil prices and raw material costs could slow this trajectory. In FY22, operating margins of the sample dropped 140 basis points (bps), while net profit growth slowed from 61% to 52%. Rampant inflation and material shortages have led to build-up of inventory levels, and companies are again taking more time to collect due payments after the FY21 recovery, said Anil Sarin, chief investment officer at Centrum PMS.
