Transports en direct | Tout va bien




Décidément, le Hilaire-Journault a toutes les peines du monde à arriver au Canada. Après avoir traversé l’océan Atlantique depuis la Grèce, avec une escale en Espagne, le navire qui assurera la liaison maritime entre Rimouski et Forestville se trouve maintenant immobilisé aux Bermudes, le temps de laisser passer une importante tempête qui rend la navigation en haute mer difficile.
Selon les données météorologiques du National Hurricane Center, une importante dépression non tropicale appelée Josephine, située au large de la côte Est américaine, pourrait générer des vents violents et des vagues dangereuses.
La trajectoire du système vers le nord risque aussi de compromettre la route que doit emprunter le Perseas, nom d’origine du Hilaire-Journault, pour rejoindre le fleuve Saint-Laurent et Rimouski.
« L’escale aux Bermudes permettra de procéder à un ravitaillement en carburant et d’attendre à l’abri le retour de conditions favorables à la navigation. Pour le moment, aucune date de départ ne nous a encore été communiquée », indique la direction de la Traverse Rimouski-Forestville sur sa page Facebook.
Le navire avait entrepris son voyage vers le Québec, le 3 octobre dernier, avec une arrivée prévue le 22 octobre dans le Bas-Saint-Laurent, si les conditions demeuraient favorables.
Le Hilaire-Journault avait obtenu, le 2 septembre, les autorisations nécessaires à sa mise à l’eau. L’opération s’était déroulée avec succès au port du Pirée, en Grèce.
Initialement prévue le 13 août, la mise à l’eau avait échoué lors d’une première tentative en raison d’un bris de la rampe, ce qui a nécessité l’obtention de nouvelles autorisations avant de procéder à un deuxième essai.
La remise à niveau du navire, qui devait initialement durer environ un mois, s’est finalement étirée sur près de deux mois.

Poland has paused the delivery of a large military aid package to Ukraine after a Lviv regional council honored the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), a WWII nationalist force, a source in the Ukrainian government told European Pravda on 21 October. A Polish Defense Ministry spokesperson told Fakt the report was untrue, though he told WP he knew nothing about a possible delay in shipment.
If confirmed, the freeze would carry a history dispute into Poland’s military aid. The row flared in May, when Kyiv named a special forces unit after the UPA, and in June Poland’s president stripped Zelenskyy of Poland’s highest honor. Even so, Ukraine’s ambassador said in August that Polish military aid was still flowing.
The Lviv Oblast Council voted on 20 October to name 2027 the year of the UPA, its commander Roman Shukhevych, and nationalist activist Oleh Olzhych. The UPA fought Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union, but Poland holds it responsible for mass killings of Poles in Volhynia and Eastern Galicia in 1943–1944. The resolution disappeared from the council’s website late that evening, RMF24 reported.
The source blamed what it called the councilors’ irresponsible actions, saying the vote came as Poland prepared the shipment and that work through closed channels is underway. The ministry spokesperson, Janusz Sejmej, called the report untrue. Asked whether it could reflect a delay in shipment, he said he knew nothing about that.
On 20 October, Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote that Ukraine’s authorities must distance themselves from the council’s position.
The next morning, Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the vote unwise and harmful above all to Ukraine. He said he had warned Zelenskyy earlier that such gestures hinder Ukraine’s friends, though the president was not responsible for this vote. At such moments, Tusk said, Russians always rub their hands.
Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski then requested that councilor Sviatoslav Sheremeta, who proposed the resolution, be added to Poland’s list of unwanted persons. That afternoon, Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński said the decision had been made. Sheremeta is barred from the Schengen zone until 2031, RMF24 reported. Poland had already barred him once, in 2017, the outlet said.
Earlier on 21 October, before the ban, Ukraine’s Foreign Ministry called the vote counterproductive in a reply to journalists and urged Warsaw to avoid abrupt steps. Zelenskyy’s closest aides had also promised the resolution would not take effect, Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki told TVN24.

Last year, South Korea took responsibility for enabling the ‘mass export’ of children for sale abroad. Now those uprooted are grappling with false promises of a better life
As international, transracial adoptees in their 30s in the US, Jacquelyn Wells and Lauren White-Gydas have things in common.
They were both born in South Korea to unwed mothers in the 1980s. Both were shipped to the US as newborns to join white families who eagerly welcomed adorable, new daughters. And neither knew many other Asians in the towns where they grew up – Wells in Westford, Massachusetts, and White-Gydas in Salem, Oregon.

The early standouts have emerged. But even the best teams have flaws that can be exposed by their opponents
Who would have thought the 49ers would be here after a rough old offseason? Head coach Kyle Shanahan’s participation in training camp was limited due to a serious car crash, team owner Jed York’s visit to an Ohio trailer park did not end well, and one player after another endured serious injuries. Despite all this, San Francisco are full of positive vibes. They are top of a tough division and their immense defense, led by the intensity of players such as safety Malik Mustapha and Fred Warner, is complemented by an equally impressive offense.
