| Australian woman casually picks up stranded shark with her bare hands Posted: 11 Oct 2017 04:25 AM PDT  An Australian woman has found online fame after a clip of her casually picking up a stranded shark was posted on Facebook. Melissa Hatheier, a Sydney-based estate agent, rescued the lost shark from a rock pool by picking it up "like a toddler" and throwing it back in the sea. The amateur shark wrangler swam into action after her mother called her about the shark episode in the beachside suburb of Cronulla. Thankfully, it turned out to be a Port Jackson shark, which are "considered harmless to humans", according to the Australian Museum. "So I came down, there was a bit of a crew here, and had a look and he was a little Port Jackson and was doing laps of the pool ..." she told Channel 9's Today show. Melissa Hatheier wrestles with the shark Credit: Facebook "I jumped in and I thought, 'I reckon I can probably get him out.' And mum called 000, so the police came down as well. "And they didn't know what to do. So I said, I think I can just grab him. So I herded him into the shallows and then I just sort of got on my knees. With his fins, I picked him up and helped him back. "He was getting stressed because he was bumping into the rocks and I was thinking I just need to put him back where he is meant to be." The footage has been a hit on social media, with one joking: "In Australia we carry sharks like dogs." Sam Soutar wrote: "Not all heroes wear capes." Another posted: "Well done to Mel. That shark owes its life to you. Most people would have killed it." Earlier this year, an incredible underwater photo captured a shark in a fish 'tornado'.

By establishing facts on the ground (indeed, establishing "ground"), it is creating a situation in which normal U.S. behavior looks like destabilizing intervention. What's less than clear is that Beijing fully understands the risks of this strategy, or the dangers of pushing the United States Navy on freedom of navigation, one of the long-term core interests of the United States.

| Russia accuses U.S. of pretending to fight Islamic State in Syria, Iraq Posted: 10 Oct 2017 11:39 AM PDT  Russia accused the United States on Tuesday of pretending to fight Islamic State and of deliberately reducing its air strikes in Iraq to allow the group's militants to stream into Syria to slow the Russian-backed advance of the Syrian army. The Pentagon strongly denied the accusations, saying that the U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State posts data every day on the number and result of strikes for the public to see. In the latest sign of rising tensions between Moscow and Washington, the Russian Defence Ministry said in a statement that the U.S.-led coalition had sharply reduced its air strikes in Iraq in September when Syrian forces, backed by Russian air power, had started to retake Deir al-Zor Province.

| US Navy says deadly USS John McCain collision was preventable and relieves ship's commander Posted: 10 Oct 2017 08:25 PM PDT  The collision of the USS John S.McCain guided missile destroyer with a merchant ship near Singapore in August that killed 10 sailors was preventable, the U.S. Navy said after it relieved the warship's commander and his deputy from their duties. "The commanding officer exercised poor judgement, and the executive officer exercised poor leadership of the ship's training program," the USS Seventh Fleet said in a statement released in Japan on Wednesday. A spate of U.S. naval collisions this year has resulted in a major leadership shake up in the U.S. Navy in Asia as it tackles increased tensions with North Korea and engages in operations in the South China Sea that challenge Beijing's growing control of the waterway. The U.S. Navy in August ordered a fleet wide probe and removed Seventh Fleet chief Vice Admiral Joseph Aucoin, citing a lack of confidence in his ability to command. Last month Admiral Scott Swift, responsible for U.S. naval forces in the Pacific, said he plans to retire after being passed over for promotion to the chief of all military forces in the region. Navy sailors cover an unidentified body on to the deck of KD Lekiu frigate after it was recovered in the waters off the Johor coast of Malaysia Credit: AP The McCain's sister ship, the Fitzgerald, almost sank off the coast of Japan in June after colliding with a Philippine container ship. That incident claimed the lives of seven U.S. sailors. In May, a South Korean fishing vessel collided with the guided-missile cruiser Lake Champlain, while another guided-missile cruiser, Antietam, damaged its propellers in January while anchoring in Tokyo Bay. Some remains found in search for missing sailors on USS John McCain 00:50 The McCain's captain, Commander A. Sanchez, and his executive officer, Commander J. Sanchez, were reassigned to other duties in Japan, where the Seventh Fleet is headquartered, the Navy said. The Seventh Fleet operates as many as 70 ships, including the U.S. navy's only forward-deployed aircraft carrier, and has about 140 aircraft and 20,000 sailors.
