Australians caught on live export ship missing after typhoon in Japan

One crew member has been rescued by the Japanese Coast Guard today, however the welfare of the rest of those on-board remains unknown, according to a report from RNZ.

The rescued man, identified as Sareno Edvardo, 45, of the Philippines, was hospitalised on the Japanese island of Amami Oshima, The New York Times reports.

A photo of his rescue released by the Coast Guard shows Mr Edvardo bobbing in dark waters amid choppy seas.

He told rescuers the ship had suffered engine failure during the typhoon, before it capsized after being hit by a freak wave.

“When it was capsizing, an on-board announcement instructed us to wear a life jacket,” Mr. Edvardo said, according to the Coast Guard. “So I wore a life jacket and jumped into the sea.”

Yuichiro Higashi, a spokesman for the Coast Guard, said on Thursday that patrol ships were continuing to search for other crew members.

On board the missing vessel are two Australians and two New Zealanders, as well as a crew including 39 people from the Philippines and one person from Singapore according to The New Zealand Herald. Also on board are about 5800 head of cattle.

Australian Livestock Exporters’ Council (ALEC) says it understands one of the Australian’s is a vet and the other is a stock handler.

The search efforts are being affected by Typhoon Maysak. The cargo ship went missing after sending a distress signal during the typhoon, while in the East China Sea.

A spokesperson for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) told news.com.au they were in contact with the families of the crew members on board.

“The Australian Government is providing consular assistance to the families of two Australian crew members on board a cargo vessel reported missing in Japanese waters,” DFAT said in a statement. “Owing to our privacy obligations we are unable to provide further comment.”

The live export ship was in waters west of Amami Oshima Island in south west Japan, according to a report from Japan’s public broadcaster NHK.

About 7pm Japanese time NHK reported a sea patrol plane had spotted a life jacket in the waters, as well as an object that looked like a lifeboat.

Portland shooting: Donald Trump supporter allegedly shot dead in clash with BLM protesters

Trump posted “Law & Order” in response to Portland’s continued clashes, which is under its 94th night of straight protests.

Trump has also blamed the “big backlash” on the Mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler and threatening to involve the National Guard.

“The big backlash going on in Portland cannot be unexpected after 95 days of watching and incompetent Mayor admit that he has no idea what he is doing. The people of Portland won’t put up with no safety any longer. The Mayor is a FOOL. Bring in the National Guard!” he tweeted.

LAW & ORDER!!!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 30, 2020

The Oregon city has been an epicentre of BLM protests since the police killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in Minnesota in late May and tensions were further inflamed after 29-year-old Jacob Blake was shot seven times by Wisconsin police on August 24.

Video footage showed officer Rusten Sheskey of the Kenosha Police Department shooting Mr Blake, who was paralysed in the attack and remains in hospital.

Over the weekend, a “caravan of hundreds of cars” of Trump supporters also converged there, according to local media.

Portland Police tweeted a political rally was “caravanning throughout downtown Portland,” adding: “There have been some instances of violence between demonstrators and counterdemonstrators. Officers have intervened and in some cases made arrests.”

Our great National Guard could solve these problems in less than 1 hour. Local authorities must ask before it is too late.

Scott Morrison pushed for interstate borders to reopen by Christmas

Mr Morrison made it clear on Friday he believes the downward trajectory of virus cases means states should consider opening up for the holiday period.

“Well look, I believe we can, domestically,” he said about the Christmas travel date, Seven News reports.

“I’d love to say we could do it internationally but I don’t think I can give you that pledge internationally.

“I hope that changes but based on the current evidence that doesn’t look likely.”

Mr Morrison said closed borders is a “recipe for economic ruin” and is “not the plan” long-term.

“The plan is to ensure testing, tracing and outbreak containment, strong quarantine, COVID safe behaviours in the workplace, in the home, at the footy club, at the ground, in this conference.”

Mr. Morrison’s latest comments his statement from earlier this month, expressing his “hope” that COVID-19 border restrictions will be eased by Christmas.

Still, he warned Australians it was unlikely that normal movement without any restrictions will be restored by summer.

The prospect could stop thousands of Australians spending Christmas with relatives and loved ones and comes amid concerns that the Queensland border closures, while popular with voters, are not based on clear medical advice.

Just months ago, the Prime Minister had hoped the border restrictions would be lifted by July, a hope that now seems abandoned in the wake of the second wave in Victoria.

China unleashes ‘carrier killer’ on US

China says two missiles of different types were launched on Thursday. Both were ballistic, meaning a large rocket boosts its warhead into space before it separates and glides back down to its target. As they travel at more than 10 times the speed of sound, the warheads are much harder to intercept than cruise missiles.

One missile, a DF-26B, was reportedly launched from the northern Chinese province of Qinghai. The second, a DF-21D, was fired from the eastern province of Zhejiang.

Both converged on a simulated target in the South China Sea off the coast of Hainan Island.

“This is China’s response to the potential risks brought by the increasingly frequent incoming US warplanes and military vessels in the South China Sea,” the Hong Kong-based (and now subject to Beijing’s strict national security laws) South China Morning Post reports an unnamed source as saying.

“The US continues to test China’s bottom line in Taiwan and South China Sea issues, and this pushed China to showcase its military strength to let Washington know that even US aircraft carriers cannot flex their full muscle near China’s coast,” military analyst Song Zhongping added.

The People’s Liberation Army is in the middle of conducting an unprecedented number of large-scale military exercises at four different locations. Several are close to Taiwan.

Observing the activities were a US guided-missile destroyer and a Cold War-era U-2 high altitude spy plane.

“The US has continued to provoke troubles, seriously undermining China’s sovereignty and security, and seriously damaging relations between the two countries and their armed forces,” Beijing’s Ministry of Defence spokesperson Wu Qian told reporters. “China will not dance to the tune of the US.”

GAME OF CHICKEN

A day before the missile test, Beijing protested the incursion of a US U-2 spy plane over a live-fire exercise in the Bohai Gulf east of Beijing.

“This was a naked act of provocation,” Wu said on Tuesday. The overflight had “seriously interfered in normal exercise activities” and “severely incurred the risk of misjudgment and even of bringing about an unintended air-sea incident.”

Then, on Thursday, a US RC-135S reconnaissance aircraft monitored China’s ballistic missile launch. This aircraft carries a wide variety of sensors intended to gather as much data as possible to analyse potential threats.

A US air force spokesperson said the plane “followed all of the accepted rules and regulations governing the use of international airspace and with due regard for the safety of all vessels and aircraft operating in the area”.

Also on Thursday, the guided missile destroyer USS Mustin – a ship designed to shoot down ballistic missiles – passed through the Paracel Islands between China and Vietnam as the war-games unfolded nearby.

PLA spokesman Senior Colonel Li Huamin told the Global Times his forces had summoned air and naval vessels to “warn it away”.

“This has seriously undermined China’s sovereignty and security interests as well as the international navigation order in the South China Sea,” Li said. “We urge the United States to immediately stop such provocative acts, strictly control naval and air military operations, and strictly restrict the behaviour of frontline naval and air forces so as to avoid any accidents.”

He insisted Beijing had “indisputable sovereignty over the South China Sea islands and their adjacent waters.”

Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Taiwan dispute this.

MISSILE DIPLOMACY

Washington has contradicted Beijing’s claims that only two missiles were fired. It says its forces detected four ballistic launches in the region.

The DF-21 and DF-26 missiles have featured heavily in recent Chinese military propaganda. They’re touted as weapons capable of dominating the Pacific Ocean, with even the enormous nuclear-powered aircraft carriers of the United States not being out of their reach.

Beijing’s intent is to intimidate Washington to such an extent that it no longer sails its fleets with impunity through the South and East China Seas. The missiles also have a much greater range than the F-35 and F-18 fighters aboard US aircraft carriers, making their ability to intervene in any crisis a much more risky prospect.

The DF-26 has a range of some 4000km. It can carry either nuclear or conventional warheads.

The DF-21 can reach about 1800km.

In comparison, the strike radius of a US F-35C – once it takes off from its aircraft carrier’s deck – is believed to be in the vicinity of 1100km.

LINES IN THE SEA

Senior Colonel Zhang Chunhui said the PLA would “stay on high alert and take all necessary measures to fight against provocations and protect national sovereignty and territorial integrity”.

But the Pentagon says it will continue to monitor Beijing’s military activities and deter any expansionist acts.

“This freedom of navigation operation upheld the rights, freedoms and lawful uses of the sea recognised in international law by challenging the unlawful restrictions on innocent passage imposed by China, Taiwan and Vietnam and also by challenging China’s claim to straight baselines enclosing the Paracel Islands,” a US navy spokesman said.

“Unlawful maritime claims in the South China Sea pose a serious threat to the freedom of the seas, including the freedoms of navigation and overflight, of unimpeded trade and commerce, and of economic opportunity for South China Sea littoral nations.”

Hanoi has also been disturbed by Chinese ships and aircraft massing in vast areas of water suddenly declared “no go zones” to fishing and commercial vessels.

“The fact China has repeatedly performed drills in the area of Hoang Sa violates Vietnam’s sovereignty over the islands, goes against the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC) … as well as the maintenance of peace, stability and co-operation across the waters,” Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Le Thi Thu Hang said on Wednesday.

World Health Organisation predicts when pandemic will end

Western Europe has been enduring the kind of infection levels not seen in many months, particularly in Germany, France, Spain and Italy – sparking fears of a full-fledged second wave.

“We have a disadvantage of globalisation, closeness, connectedness, but an advantage of better technology, so we hope to finish this pandemic before less than two years,” WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters.

By “utilising the available tools to the maximum and hoping that we can have additional tools like vaccines, I think we can finish it in a shorter time than the 1918 flu”, he said.

The WHO also recommended children over 12 years old now use masks in the same situations as adults as the use of face coverings increases to stop the spread of coronavirus.

RELATED: Follow the latest coronavirus updates

The WHO’s announcement comes as parts of Europe see infection numbers soar.

In the Spanish capital Madrid, officials recommended people in the most affected areas stay at home to help curb the spread, as the country registered more than 8000 new cases in 24 hours.

France also reported a second consecutive day of more than 4000 new cases – numbers not seen since May – with metropolitan areas accounting for most of those infections.

But Dr Tedros sought to draw favourable comparisons with the notorious flu pandemic of 1918.

With no usable vaccine yet available, the most prominent tool governments have at their disposal is to confine their populations or enforce social distancing.

Lebanon is the latest country to reintroduce severe restrictions, beginning two weeks of measures on Friday including night-time curfews to tamp down a rise in infections, which comes as the country is still dealing with the shock from a huge explosion in the capital Beirut that killed dozens earlier this month.

“What now? On top of this disaster, a coronavirus catastrophe?” said 55-year-old Roxane Moukarzel in Beirut.

Officials fear Lebanon’s fragile health system would struggle to cope with a further spike in COVID-19 cases, especially after some hospitals near the port were damaged in the explosion.

‘WE LEAD THE WORLD IN DEATHS’

The Americas have borne the brunt of the virus in health terms, accounting for more than half of the world’s fatalities.

“We lead the world in deaths,” said Joe Biden while accepting the Democratic nomination for the US presidential election late on Thursday.

He said he would implement a national plan to fight the pandemic on his first day in office if elected in November.

“We’ll take the muzzle off our experts so the public gets the information they need and deserve – honest, unvarnished truth,” he said.

RELATED: US passes five million cases

Still, new daily cases of the coronavirus have been dropping sharply in the United States for weeks – but experts are unsure if Americans will have the discipline to bring the epidemic under control.

After exceeding 70,000 confirmed infections per day in July, the country recorded 43,000 cases on Thursday.

Further south, Latin American countries were counting the wider costs of the pandemic – the region not only suffering the most deaths, but also an expansion of criminal activity and rising poverty.

Without an effective political reaction, “at a regional level we can talk about a regression of up to 10 years in the levels of multidimensional poverty”, Luis Felipe Lopez-Calva of the UN Development Programme told AFP.

But the WHO said the coronavirus pandemic appeared to be stabilising in Brazil – one of the world’s worst hit countries – and any reversal of its rampant spread in the vast country would be “a success for the world”.

ECONOMIC FALLOUT

Economies around the globe have been ravaged by the pandemic, which has infected more than 22 million and killed nearly 800,000 since it emerged in China late last year.

New financial figures laid bear the huge cost of the pandemic in Britain, where government debt soared past £2 trillion ($2.6 trillion) for the first time in the UK after a massive program of state borrowing for furlough schemes and other measures designed to prop up the economy.

“Without that support things would have been far worse,” said Finance Minister Rishi Sunak.

Even Germany, famed for its financial prudence, was waking up to a new reality with Finance Minister Olaf Scholz conceding his country would need to continue borrowing at a high level next year to deal with the virus fallout.

Germany will need to take on yet more debt in 2021 to mitigate the impact of the coronavirus on the economy, Finance Minister Olaf Scholz said Friday. Picture: Tobias Schwarz/AFP

Western European politicians are also beginning to ramp up restrictions to tackle infections that are rising to levels not seen for months.

While Spain has responded with confinement measures and Germany with updated travel guidelines, putting Brussels on its list of risk zones, the UK is now watching clusters in northern England and suggesting some towns could soon face lockdown.

“To prevent a second peak and keep COVID-19 under control, we need robust, targeted intervention where we see a spike in cases,” said health secretary Matt Hancock.

Two-year-old girl refused exemption from QLD border policy after open heart surgery

Luella Gilliland, 2, bravely underwent open heart surgery at Westmead Children’s Hospital in Sydney last week.

On Saturday, the family were denied an exemption from the state’s strict border rules, despite doctors recommending the youngster recover and isolate at home.

The vital operation could not be delayed and had been booked to go ahead when Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s government closed the border to New South Wales.

It's the second time Luella has undergone heart surgery in her young life. Picture: Nine

Her mum Lauren told Weekend Today that Leulla’s operation was successful, but she still has “a long way to go with her recovery”.

“Emotionally, she’s still struggling a bit – she’s very clingy, has night terrors and some sleep disturbances.

“She’s still not eating well either, so she’s dropped quite a lot of weight from the surgery.”

The family have been in self-imposed isolation at Ronald McDonald House in Westmead, venturing out only to the hospital for check-ups.

The family are begging to be allowed to quarantine in the safety of their Brisbane home, but the situation in Brisbane remains precarious.

Public health alerts have been issued today for more than 40 spots across Brisbane, Ipswich and Logan, as officials race to track any cases linked to a cluster at the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre.

Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings and Kmart are among the businesses in suburbs visited by one of Queensland's 16 active cases in the past few weeks.

The full list of dates and locations can be found on the Queensland Government website.

Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington slammed the “heartbreaking” decision. Picture: Alix Sweeney

As the Queensland government races to contain the Detention Centre cluster, their decision regarding the Gilliland family has been slammed by the state’s Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington as “heartbreaking”.

“Labor were quick to rollout the red carpet for Dannii Minogue but to their shame won’t lift a finger to help this little girl,” Ms Frecklington wrote in a statement on Facebook.

“I am a proud Queenslander but I am also a proud Australian. My heart breaks for what this little girl and her family are going through.

“Our borders must be strong but compassion and common sense must be first and foremost.

“This morning I have written to Annastacia Palaszczuk and asked for some compassion and common sense to bring this little Queensland girl home.

“Luella has endured enough without being caught up in the Premier’s politicisation of the borders.”

Boy shot riding bike sparks mass outrage

His tragic death has been seized on by detractors of the Black Lives Matter movement who claim Cannon’s killing would have been treated differently if he was black.

Cannon’s neighbour Darius Sessoms, who is black, has been arrested over the killing and Sessoms’ parents have claimed their son had been suffering with drug and mental health issues.

RELATED: Woman killed by drunk driver gives birth

Cannon Hinnant tragically died earlier this month. Picture: GoFundMe.

In the wake of the ugly debate sparked by Cannon’s death, a prison officer at the Cumberland County Juvenile Detention Centre in New Jersey, was suspended from his job on Wednesday.

The prison officer, Rome Smith, allegedly wrote on Facebook about Cannon’s death blaming the boy’s parents, which was screenshot and widely circulated.

“He should’ve ducked,” Smith allegedly wrote. “Y’all always trying to sneak diss and discredit a black person being killed innocently by police. Blame cannon’s parents for not watching him!!! F Y’ALL.”

Smith’s post sparked outrage and claims he was “obviously racist against caucasians”, the New York Post reported.

In a statement to NJ.com, Smith’s employer said he had been suspended and denounced the “shockingly insensitive and racist” comments.

“We will not tolerate County employees using social media to broadcast hateful messages,” Cumberland County Freeholder Director Joseph Derella said.

“This is not who we are and we intend to pursue the strongest action available to us.”

‘NO RACIAL ISSUE’: CANNON’S DAD SPEAKS

Cannon had been riding his bike outside his father Austin Hinnant’s home when Sessoms allegedly walked up to him and shot him in the head.

“The first thing that went through my mind was maybe he just fell off his bike,” Mr Hinnant told local station WRAL.

“The closer I got to him, the more I realised it was something far more serious.”

Sessoms was later arrested and has since been charged with first degree murder.

Mr Hinnant said he had lived next door to Sessoms and his parents for eight years and there was no “bad blood whatsoever”.

Sessoms’ parents told The Associated Press they believe their son had been on drugs and experiencing hallucinations when Cannon was shot.

Mr Hinnant told The Wilson Times he had been upset by social media reports that wrongly claimed race had been a factor in Cannon’s death

“This is no racial issue,” he said.

Portugal’s President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa saves women from drowning

The 71-year-old president was holidaying at the beach in the country’s southernmost Algarve region, bordering the Atlantic Ocean, to promote tourism when he saw the boat overturn on Saturday.

Footage of the incident shows Mr de Sousa helping to flip the kayak over and keep the two women, wearing life jackets, holding onto the sides.

He emerged from the water into a throng of onlookers, elbow-bumping one of them before putting a face mask on to speak to waiting reporters.

“They were dragged away from another beach to this beach, the boat turned over and they swallowed a lot of water and they couldn’t turn the boat up, nor swim, nor get back onto the boat, the current was very strong,” Mr de Sousa said while drying himself with a towel.

“So, it was possible to push them and help them get away from the current.”

He said it was “a big scare” for the women.

The footage shows another person in the water with the president and the two kayakers, while a lifeguard on a jet ski also arrived on scene.

“We have to look to the future and see how we can turn things around,” Mr de Sousa said at the time.
