South China Sea, after Ottawa rebuked Beijing for what it described as a second risky midair intercept in two weeks. Canada's Defence Minister Bill Blair said Friday that a Chinese fighter jet twice flew close to a Canadian Cyclone helicopter over the Paracel Islands on October 29, firing flares «directly in front» of the craft on the second flyby. The jet's actions «were deemed to be significantly unsafe», Blair said of the incident, which followed a similar near-miss over another disputed waterway near China in mid-October. Beijing hit back at Blair's claims on Saturday, with a defence ministry spokesperson saying the Canadian helicopter conducted «a malicious and provocative act with ulterior motives». «Recently, ship-borne helicopters on Canada's HMCS Ottawa made two sorties towards the airspace around China's Xisha Islands, with unknown intentions,» Zhang Xiaogang said in an online statement, using the Chinese name for the Paracels. «China's People's Liberation Army organised naval and air forces to identify and verify (the craft) in accordance with the law, and issued multiple warnings,» Zhang said. «However, the Canadian helicopter not only refused to respond, but also took provocative actions such as flying at ultra-low altitudes,» he added. «Afterwards, (Canada) wantonly hyped the event and made accusations and smears against China in the media,» Zhang claimed. «Canada's actions violated China's domestic laws and international law, endangered China's sovereignty and security,» he said. «We urge the Canadian side… to strictly curb the actions of frontline sea and air forces to prevent accidents at sea and in the air.» The HMCS Ottawa was transiting the South China Sea as part of attempts by the United

Ukraine's newly appointed head of defense industry says he is working tirelessly to ramp up local arms production and wants to turn the country into a weapons production hub for the West. Oleksandr Kamysyhin, the minister for strategic industries of Ukraine, said that Russia's invasion of his country and the Israel-Hamas war raging in the Middle East have highlighted the need for countries to spend on their defense systems. «We're really focusing on making Ukraine the arsenal of the free world,» Kamyshin told The Associated Press in an interview late Friday. Kamyshyn said approximately 500 companies in Ukraine's defense industry are contributing to the country's efforts to increase weapons production in order to counter Russia's attempts to seize more territory. Among those are 70 state-owned factories, over 200 primarily private factories producing unmanned systems, and more than 200 private sector companies involved in the production of various types of weaponry and ammunition. «We are focused on producing all types of weapons and ammunition, and we show that we can test it on the battlefield and make it better during the war,» Kamyshin said.

type 2 diabetes, they often think of sugar (even though the evidence for that is still not clear). Now, a new study from the US points the finger at salt. The study, conducted by researchers at Tulane University in New Orleans, used data on about 400,000 adults, taken from the UK Biobank study. This observational study followed the participants for nearly twelve years. In that time, around 13,000 developed type 2 diabetes. In a press release, the principal investigator on the study said that «taking the saltshaker off the table can help prevent type 2 diabetes». But is it really as simple as that? For a start, this type of study, called an observational study, cannot prove that one thing causes another, only that one thing is related to another. (There could be other factors at play.) So it is not appropriate to say removing the saltshaker «can help prevent». My colleague Dan Green and I have previously criticised university press releases such as this as they can lead to misleading news stories. The Tulane study can only suggest an association between salt use and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes — nothing more. This is before considering the quality of the data itself. The data used to assess salt use, was based on the simple question: «Do you add salt to your food?» (It specifically excluded salt added in cooking.) The question the participants in the study answered only had the options: «never/rarely», «sometimes», «usually» or «always». This means it is not possible to estimate from the answers how much salt might be associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
