US says it has no evidence downed craft originated in China and could have commercial uses

China says it has had no information on three craft shot down by the US since Friday

The US government said on Tuesday (14) that it had no evidence that the three flying objects spotted in the country’s skies and shot down by US forces this weekend belonged to the Chinese government.

According to the US government, there is a possibility that unidentified flying objects could be used for commercial purposes.

One of the objects was dropped in Alaska, another in Canada, and another in Lake Huron.

White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters that the United States still does not understand where the three objects came from. He said there would be more information if and when the debris could be collected, but that the pieces were in hardtoreach areas. Kirby said there was no indication the three objects were linked to China’s spy balloon program.

However, the White House says it has not identified the origin of these new artifacts. According to Washington, no group, country or individual has claimed ownership of the objects to date.

According to Washington, the first balloon sighted in American airspace was of Chinese origin. It was shot down over the sea in the state of South Carolina.

Agents of the FBI, the police investigative service, have already begun to analyze and examine the remains of the balloon.

The analysis will be possible after new remains of the balloon including sensors were recovered Monday (13th), the White House said.

falling failure

The first of two missiles fired from an F16 fighter jet at an unidentified object over Lake Huron on Sunday missed the object but landed harmlessly in the water, top US General Mark Milley said on Tuesday.

“We certainly followed this to the end,” Milley told reporters at a news conference in Brussels.

Lorella Cuccarini, perfect figure at the age of 57. The secret? Calisthenics Diet and Method

1 / 7 : Lorella Cuccarini, the last of the showgirls

Lorella Cuccarini was one of the great confirmations of Sanremo 2023: a versatile entertainment professional, able to switch from singing to dancing (and both at the same time) in different performances. He still proves this today as a teacher in the program Amici di Maria De Filippi and in his theater performances. However, the duet with rapper Olly on the notes of “Una notte vola”, one of the most authentic moments of the festival, is on everyone’s lips. Litmus test, the enthusiasm of viewers of all ages, because Lorella reminded millennials and boomers of one of the songs that defined the diversity of the 80s and 90s. And to show Generations Z and X how contemporary this elegant way of appearing can be. It was a chance for everyone to see her (again) in a performance full of energy. And that, to put it bluntly, despite the passage of time. We, the ones over time, want to emphasize it, because at 57 years old – the Roman showgirl was born on August 10, 1965 and is a mother of four children – she retains an enviable energy. “Cuccarini is on form,” commented Gianni Morandi in astonishment, addressing Amadeus at the end of the performance on the Ariston stage. How does it work? With a mix of diet and ad hoc training.

“It’s a strange time, but it’s also a beautiful time when many beautiful things are happening.

“As an adult, as a child of older parents, life can be really difficult – you just want to crank it up and dance, and that’s what this whole album is all about.”

And when asked if this was her best album yet, she replied; “That’s how I feel.

“I worked on this album for three years, so I had a lot of time to edit and curate the album.

“I’m usually in this race to get back on the road, so it was nice to be able to take that much time.

“I definitely think it was all those things, having the perspective of a 43-year-old mother of two, losing a parent, the pandemic, having done it for a long time, having great employees – I have those best staff, on stage and off.’

And LeFou, “gone” gay? It is perfectly integrated into the story and even very funny in its final pirouette.

81.3 million for vocational training | “Don’t take the students out of school”

Sorry, your browser doesn’t support videos

Because he saw students who feel “despised” because of their career choices, the Minister of Education wants to change the image of vocational training. “Are we in agreement that we need electricians and plumbers?” Bernard Drainville asked an audience of businesspeople, but urged them not to increase dropouts.

Speaking to members of the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal (CCMM), the education minister praised vocational training, in which Quebec will invest $81.3 million by 2027.

“Sometimes the students [inscrits en formation professionnelle] feel like they’re being looked down on. There are even some who tell me: I had to argue with my parents to make them accept it,” says Bernard Drainville.

“Are we in agreement that we need electricians and plumbers?” “, he added. However, he sent a clear message to employers who are urgently looking for workers: “Don’t take the students out of school”.

Vocational training graduates “earn very well,” Minister Drainville continued. “I have a degree in Political Science, I can compare…” Mr. Drainville said, eliciting laughter from the room.

Graduating 30,000 students in the sector is one of the seven priorities identified by the minister for his newly assumed mandate. In times of shortage “that’s a really big job,” the minister admitted.

Bernard Drainville also defended himself against being a “jovialistic” minister, acknowledging that the education ministry “isn’t working the way it should be working”.

“My job is to solve problems and make progress. I eat the elephant one bite at a time, but I want quick progress. We need to change the atmosphere around education. You can’t constantly see what’s wrong and not talk about what’s right,” he said.

“Our schools need love”

As of 7 a.m. Tuesday morning, teachers’ unions had gathered to welcome the minister to downtown Montreal.

The theme of the event was essential on February 14th. On René Lévesque Boulevard in Montreal, to the tune of Love Hurts from Nazareth or With or Without You by U2, a hundred CSQ union members demonstrated in front of the Sheraton Center where the Minister of Education was targeted Members of the CCMM.

“Today is Valentine’s Day and we came to say to the minister that our schools need love. He’s been talking to us lately about seven priorities, we’re awaiting action,” said Josée Scalabrini, President of the Federation of Education Unions.

When it comes to vocational training, the minister has “great ambitions,” explained Mélanie Hubert, President of the Autonomous Education Association.

“What we’re trying to say is, let’s be careful, let’s be careful and smart. It’s not about sitting students on school desks and waiting for everything to happen. We will have to convince people in shortage occupations to come and teach,” Ms. Hubert recalled.

Conde-Pumpido: “The Constitutional Court can never be a third chamber”

Conde Pumpido The Constitutional Court can never be a third chamber

The president of the constitutional court, Cándido Conde-Pumpido, emphasized this Tuesday that the guarantee system could not become a “third chamber”. [legislativa]’, a possibility that has raised concern in a sector of judges this legislature due to the accumulation of resources by opposition parties against legislation passed by Parliament. This situation even led to an unusual episode last December when, following an appeal by the PP, the Constitutional Court itself paralyzed parliamentary processing of two amendments to the Court’s renewal, which the government was urgently trying to introduce in a foreign legal reform.

The indication that the Constitutional Court is not a third legislative chamber and therefore cannot be used by parties to review laws of Parliament has already been made by other Presidents of the Court in the past. Among them was Conde-Pumpido’s predecessor, Pedro González-Trevijano, when he left office almost a month ago. The same request was made long before by Francisco Tomás y Valiente, who presided over the Constitutional Court between 1986 and 1992, who was assassinated by ETA in 1996 and whom the court honored on the 27th anniversary of the crime this Tuesday. Conde-Pumpido quoted Tomás y Valiente as reminding that he was the one who originated this idea: “That this court can never be a third chamber, that the constitution allows for a wide range of political options in it and that the peacefully alternating different options Power of the state is the basis of every democracy”.

More information

In his speech, the current President of the Constitutional Court recalled an essay by Tomás y Valiente in which, reviewing the strength of the Basic Law, he said that its “resistance (…) can be understood as the ability to adapt to political dynamics, to allow and to channel that the different policy options can reach the power or authority of the state and transform into state law the different pragmatic expectations offered to the citizens”. Tomás y Valiente also wrote of the Constitution’s “ability to be interpreted flexibly and, to a certain extent, changeably, on the basis of new problems and new sensibilities”.

For Conde-Pumpido, this is the wide scope that the constitutional text grants to political forces. He described Tomás y Valiente as a staunch defender of “the constitutional order that emerged in 1978, which produced the greatest period of prosperity, freedom and harmony in the history of Spain”. But at the same time with an evolutionary conception of the Basic Law, since truth, as the laureate wrote in his Intellectual Autobiography, “is a cumulative process of truths”, and this implies that one “must learn with humility and relativity not a single and total truth (sic) to pursue, but partial truths, perhaps ephemeral or fleeting, perhaps contradictory, but not fruitless for that reason”.

Sources from the Constitutional Court interpret Conde-Pumpido’s speech on current occasions: the court, for example, is in the process of adapting its own doctrine on the right to abortion, with different arguments than in 1985, in order to open the first door to the decriminalization of voluntary abortion. And on the other hand in a context in which 65 lawsuits against four judges have accumulated. A single party, Vox, has filed 46 constitutional complaints during this legislature, each seeking the annulment, in whole or in part, of laws or legislative decrees passed by Parliament.

Two of Tomás and Valiente’s children, Francisco and Ana, and the President of the Council of State, Magdalena Valerio, attended the ceremony; the interim president of the General Council of the Judiciary, Rafael Mozo; the rector of the Autonomous University “where the professor was shot dead on February 14, 1996”, Amaia Mendikoetxea; along with former court presidents and current judges. Finally, in front of the monolith with which the court honors the memory of Tomás y Valiente, Conde-Pumpido placed a bouquet of 27 red roses, one for each year that has passed since his assassination. Then there was a minute’s silence.

Scandal in youth hockey QS wants to convene the LHJMQ

Scandal in youth hockey: QS wants to convene the LHJMQ in a parliamentary committee

Solidarity MP Vincent Marissal is calling for the National Assembly to convene the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (LHJMQ) to shed light on the criminal acts being committed in the midst of junior hockey.

• Also read: Outraged by dirty gestures

Mr Marissal said he was “deeply disturbed” to learn of the “inhumane” treatment of young ice hockey players, even though adults were aware.

“It’s disgusting, there’s no other word for it. Too many people have turned a blind eye to the toxic culture in hockey for too long, it’s time to take action to end it,” he said in a Tuesday news release.

“As elected officials, we must ensure that our young people can play their sport in a safe and fulfilling environment where everyone has their place. Those who have tolerated these repulsive gestures must be held accountable, it is urgent,” added the united MP.

Mr. Marissal therefore sent a letter to the Culture and Education Committee to convene the QMJHL into a parliamentary committee. He hopes this exercise will help find a way to “protect young people” and curb “intimidation” in the hockey world.

  • Listen to Jean-François Baril’s sports report on QUB radio:

“Overly annoying”

In a press conference in Parliament on Tuesday, interim leader of the Quebec Liberal Party, Marc Tanguay, expressed that he found it “extremely disturbing” to learn how far these initiations could go, calling them “acts of barbarism”. .

“Quebec needs to find a way to monitor, and it will have our cooperation (…). I think it takes a culture change, a behavior change,” he said.

Mr. Tanguay did not say he was closed to financial sanctions against specific organizations. “For an organization that isn’t vigilant enough, this could be leverage for Quebec,” he said.

Increase attention

“There’s a lot that needs to be cleaned up in junior hockey,” said Parti Québécois chairman Paul St-Pierre Plamondon clearly unacceptably on Tuesday.

Nonetheless, Mr. St-Pierre Plamondon argued that one should not necessarily ban all forms of initiation, but simply require organizations to “publicly” establish the goals of these initiations and the parameters within which they can take place.
