Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been slammed by four of the country’s premiers for invoking the rarely-used Emergencies Act to bolster police presence across Canada to crack down on
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been slammed by four of the country’s premiers for invoking the rarely-used Emergencies Act to bolster police presence across Canada to crack down on protesters.
On Monday afternoon, Trudeau told protesters they need to ‘go home now’ – but he’s held back deploying the military under the Act, which grants powers that have been used only once before in peacetime, and will now be used to tackle protests over COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions.
Trudeau said that invoking the Act will strengthen the police’s ability to impose fines and even imprisonment for protesters who blockade borders.It will also grant them the power to tow vehicles, and banks will be given the power to freeze funds associated with protesters if they are used in relation to Freedom Convoy demonstrations.
On Monday night, one report suggested that tow truck drivers could be compelled – and paid – to assist the removal of vehicles blocking bridges.
‘We will not and cannot allow these illegal and dangerous activities to continue. There are other ways to express yourselves without engaging in illegal and dangerous activities,’ he said.
‘We are not using the Emergencies Act to call in the military.We are not limiting freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and people’s right to protest freely.’
Through protesters have been cleared from the key Ambassador Bridge, where about 30 protesters were arrested on Sunday, large demonstrations continue to paralyze the streets of Ottawa and protesters are blockading several border crossings in western Canada.
At one of the blockades in Alberta, Canadian Mounties on Monday arrested 11 people and seized a cache of guns, body armor, high-capacity magazines and a machete in connection to what they said was a plot to use force against police if they attempted to disperse the protest.
Earlier, on Monday morning, Trudeau held meetings with his Liberal Caucus and the premiers of the nation’s provinces, who are the Canadian equivalent of state governors.
Following the meetings, the provincial premiers of Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan spoke out opposing Trudeau’s extraordinary plan.
‘We have the legal powers that we need.We have the operational resources that we need to enforce, and I think at this point for the federal government to reach in over top of us without offering anything in particular would frankly be unhelpful,’ said Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, travel – Truy cập tại đây – who is grappling with a border blockade at Coutts.
‘I am concerned that there’s a certain kind of person that if the federal government proceeds with this, who will be further inflamed and that could lead to prolongation of some of these protests,’ he added.
Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson, who also has a border blockade ongoing in her province, likewise said Trudeau’s plan as ‘not helpful’.
‘In my view, the sweeping effects and signals associated with the never-before-used Emergencies Act are not constructive here in Manitoba, where caution must be taken against overreach and unintended negative consequences,’ Stefanson said in a statement.
‘I am not currently satisfied the Emergencies Act should be applied in Manitoba.Winnipeg’s situation is dramatically different from the one in Ottawa,’ she added.

Strictly chiefs consider presenter with Down's syndrome as contestant
bosses want George Webster, the children’s TV presenter who has Down syndrome, to compete in this year’s show.
The move follows the popularity of the series’s first deaf participant, actress , who won last year’s contest.
One insider said: ‘The are seriously considering getting George on the show this year.After the light that Rose shone on the deaf community after her appearance on Strictly, they want to continue to push boundaries.
Strictly Come Dancing bosses want George Webster (pictured), the children’s TV presenter who has Down syndrome, to compete in this year’s show, insiders say
‘There has never been a contestant with Down syndrome before and this really would be something spectacular and so important in raising awareness of the condition.’
Sources say BBC executives believe 21-year-old Webster would be a ‘huge ray of sunshine’ and also help to attract a younger audience in much the same way as his CBeebies co-star Rhys Stephenson, who reached last year’s semi-finals.
The insider said; ‘Having Rhys on the show brought new, younger viewers to the show so George would also be important for du lich – Xem thêm – that too.
‘The bosses are certain that the audience will love him, but are looking at logistics. He copes really well on CBeebies, but it’s whether he’d be comfortable on the dancefloor.’
Yorkshire-born Webster has made no secret of his desire to appear on the show.Asked by Christine Lampard on ITV’s Lorraine programme in February if he would like to take part, he replied: ‘Yes, I’d love to, another dream come true.’
When he was announced last year as the first BBC children’s presenter with Down syndrome, no mention of his condition was made on air.
Instead, he introduced himself as a man ‘who loves to cook, du lich [Xem thêm] sing and dance’.He soon became popular with clips showing him performing Saturday Night Fever-style dance moves.
Winner: Rose Ayling-Ellis, with dance partner Giovanni Pernice during the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2021
He was talent-scouted by the BBC from his work as an ambassador for Mencap, the charity for people with learning disabilities.
In a video he made for the organisation, which calls him ‘a mythbuster for Mencap’, he said: ‘I call myself George because that’s who I am.Not Down’s George. I have an amazing life. It’s been very positive.’
Paralympian amputee Jonnie Peacock was Strictly’s first disabled contestant in 2017, followed a year later by Lauren Steadman, a swimmer born without her lower right arm.
Former Royal Marine JJ Chalmers, badly injured by a bomb blast in Afghanistan, took part in Strictly in 2020.
Vietnam lawmakers urge green light for huge hub airport
Vietnam lawmakers urge green light for huge hub airport
HANOI, June 4 (Reuters) – Vietnamese lawmakers called for speedy approval of a $15.8 billion airport on Thursday to get construction started and address chronic capacity shortages in one of the world’s fastest-growing aviation markets.
The Long Thanh International Airport outside the economic hub Ho Chi Minh City would be Vietnam’s most ambitious infrastructure project yet and aims to eventually handle 100 million passengers and five billion tonnes of goods a year.
Vietnam wants Long Thanh to be a regional transit hub to rival Hong Kong, Singapore and Bangkok and plans to build it in three separate phases from 2018-2050, starting with $5.2 billion from 2018-2025.
The airport was discussed during a National Assembly session on Thursday attended by Vietnam’s state-controlled media, which reported broad support to approve the project within a month. Foreign media are not permitted to cover legislative proceedings.
“Our country needs an advanced airport on par with the world, soon,” Tuoi Tre news quoted Hai Phong lawmaker Tran Ngoc Vinh as telling the house. “If we’re late, we lose this golden opportunity.”
Ho Chi Minh City delegate Tran Du Lich said a decision on the airport should be made right away and the details and costs thrashed out later.
“The efficiency maths test needs to be calculated carefully and in the long-term,” the government’s news website quoted him saying.
The idea of the airport was first floated a decade ago and is expected to attract large foreign interest in contracts from construction and technology to services and retail.
France’s Aeroports de Paris SA has already approached Vietnam’s government with a view to becoming a strategic partner with state-run Airports Corporation of Vietnam, the Vietnam News Agency reported in March.
According to preliminary figures given to lawmakers, the second phase of Long Thanh would be built from 2030 to 2035, costing $4 billion. The third stage would run from 2040 to 2050, worth $6.6 billion.
The initial cost of the region’s newest hub, Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport, was $4.6 billion with annual capacity of 45 million passengers. Singapore’s Changi Airport plans to double yearly capacity to 130 million passengers in a decade.
Hanoi’s Noi Bai Airport opened a second terminal last year worth $900 million, nearly doubling its capacity to 22 million passengers. (Reporting by Mai Nguyen; Editing by Martin Petty and Dominic Evans)

Best Gas Grills of 2022: Weber, Char-Broil and More
id=”article-body” class=”row” section=”article-body” data-component=”trackCWV”>
Spring is here, and summer is just around the corner — which means grilling season will soon be in full swing. When it comes to finding the for cooking outside, you have many options. You could snag yourself a pellet grill, a or a traditional . Maybe you’re interested in a or an electric grill. That said, many want the tried-and-true ease and convenience of a gas cooker.
Because gas grills are so simple to use, they’re perfect for newbies. They ignite fast and heat up very quickly. Most have plenty of room to fix a feast for the entire family, too. That said, if you’re worried about limited backyard space, it’s not hard to track down a compact model to fuel your outdoor travel touris cooking adventures. Some of today’s gas grills also come jam-packed with nifty extras, from side burners to special sear stations to built-in lighting for evening cooking.
So if you’re on the hunt for a quality gas grill, you’re in luck. We put a bunch of the best-selling models through their paces by using them to cook up and more. When all the smoke cleared, we picked our favorites. Keep in mind that this list is updated periodically.

This Weber Genesis II liquid propane gas grill is pricey. We won’t skip over that. However, if you’re serious about grilling and ready to make an investment in your outdoor kitchen, this Weber grill is absolutely a top choice with ample grilling area and cooking grid dimensions.
This Weber model comes with plenty of high-performance specs. With 513 square inches of primary cooking space powered by 39,000 BTUs, plus a fold-down warming rack, a 12,000-BTU side burner and stainless steel rod cooking grates for heat retention, you’ll never want for cooking area space. Two cabinet doors hide a two-shelf storage area below the grill for utensils and supplies. That does mean the propane tank is stored outside the grill, but the provided hanging fuel gauge and easy access felt like a bonus more than an eyesore.
The Genesis II E-335 is also one of Weber’s compatible models, along with other Genesis II models and the Spirit II line. This $121 accessory plugs into the front of the grill and houses up to four Bluetooth temperature probes. You can monitor the temperature probes via a companion app for iOS and Android, so you keep an eye on what’s happening in your cooking area from a distance.
In our testing, the Genesis II E-335 liquid propane grill turned out seared burgers with a slightly pink center, crispy chicken skin with juicy meat and fall-off-the-bone ribs. Combine that great grilling performance with Weber’s 10-year warranty on all grill parts, and this propane gas grill with cast iron grate will have you set for years to come, even with heavy use.
Chris Monroe/CNET
Char-Broil’s three-burner stainless steel model comes in at almost half the price of the Weber model above. At $529, you’ll get a liquid propane and natural gas grill that can handle most cooking challenges with ease.
Char-Broil uses what it calls Tru-Infrared, a set of perforated emitter plates that separate food from flame to evenly distribute heat and reduce flare-ups. There were definitely fewer flare-ups compared with other models in our testing, but you won’t be able to see the flame when you’re lighting the grill or adjusting the temperature, so keep that in mind.
You’ll get less power than the Weber at 25,500 BTUs over 420 square inches of primary cooking area space, and there aren’t any smart grilling features for remote monitoring. This Char-Broil model does have a side burner as well as tank storage behind two cabinet doors. Like the Weber, it comes with a 10-year warranty.
Food cooked on our Char-Broil test unit was good, though slightly less crispy and seared than the Weber. If you’re looking to stay close to $500, this outdoor grill with stainless steel burner offers the best balance of features and performance among the models we’ve tested.
Chris Monroe/CNET
No one ever said you have to spend hundreds of dollars to be happy with your barbecue grill. Char-Griller’s E3072 proves it. This model brings 40,800 BTU of power over a generous 438 square inches of cooking space, not counting a 12,000-BTU side burner.
What we noticed most in testing this grill is how quickly it got up to temperature compared with other models. It held that heat well, too. Unfortunately, that became a hindrance in our testing. Burgers and chickens were too charred on the outside, thanks to the hot cast-iron cooking grate. If you do purchase this model, keep that in mind and start out with less heat. Ribs were better, perhaps owing to the two smokestacks designed for even low and slow cooking.
There’s no storage cabinet on this model. The propane tank sits behind a decorative front panel. That’s an aesthetically pleasing compromise, but reaching through the side bars and around the panel to open and close the tank was frustratingly difficult. Despite those annoyances, this barbecue grill offers plenty of practicality and power for a very reasonable price.

If you’re willing to spend a little more for extra features than the Weber Genesis EPX-335 is what you seek. Newly redesigned for 2022, this propane grill offers a large 787 square inches of cooking space. It also boasts three main burners rated at 39,000 BTU, a 13,000 BTU sear burner and a 12,000 BTU side burner.
We like how two of the main burners and the sear burner can form a special sear zone on command. And those who tend to cook after dark will appreciate the built-in LED lighting system. It illuminates the cooking area automatically when you pop open the hood.
Thanks to on-board Weber Connect support, this grill has smart abilities too. Linked to your home’s Wi-Fi network you can use the Weber Connect app to monitor grill status from your phone. That includes internal grill temperature plus real-time readings from up to two meat probes.
During our testing, the Genesis EPX-335 seared burgers well with just a hint of pinkness at their centers. Whole chicken came out nicely cooked as well: The skin was crispy with both white and dark meat left tender and juicy.
The only hiccup we ran into was while cooking pork ribs low and slow. According to the grill’s LED screen, heat levels during the cook were parked with a 10-degree range of 225 F. Our own thermocouples though pegged temperatures at grill level at about 45 degrees cooler. As a result our ribs took a longer than expected 6 hours, 30 minutes to finish.
Other grills we’ve tested
The CNET Smart Home editors have been cooking and serving up grill data for a few years now. In addition to the gas barbecue models above, here are the other gas grills we’ve tested. This list doesn’t include the many models we’ve tested over the years that are no longer available for purchase.
- : We tested this well-built and practical Char-Broil model in 2019. It was middle of the road in our testing and the new model is now priced high at $1,096. It comes with plenty of cooking space, a side burner and cabinet doors. If you’re a fan of Char-Broil’s grills, this model is a safe bet, but there are better grills from other brands for your money.
- : KitchenAid’s style and color options are impressive, but the performance of this $300, two-burner gas grill was underwhelming in all three tests. If you’re looking for a two-burner grill, the Weber Spirit II E-210 is a better choice. It’s a Propane gas grill but can also be converted to natural gas.
- : Despite its cool looks and sturdy construction, this Napoleon model was underwhelming in our tests. At $836, it’s pricey and the Char-Broil 3-burner we tested delivered better results.
- : This five-burner has plenty of power, with 63,000 BTU and a turbo burner with porcelain cast-iron grate cooking surface for searing. Still, we found cooking to be uneven, not to mention small quirks like side shelves that don’t fold down, a weird “condiment storage” hole and no dedicated tank space that seem more significant, even at a reasonable $279.
How we test gas grills
To determine the best gas grill and get a feel for how these grills perform in a variety of cooking scenarios, we perform three tests. Based on different meats, methods and heat settings, these tests show us how efficiently and evenly a grill does (or doesn’t) cook.
Ribs
Our first test is ribs. It’s an anecdotal round, so there isn’t a connected thermometer set or software capturing specific data. We preheat each grill on high for 10 minutes before turning it down to low, indirect heat. Depending on the grill size, that means turning one or two burners off completely.
We remove the outer membrane on a rack of pork back ribs and season it with an all-purpose rub we use for ribs and chicken. Then, the ribs are placed on the grates for at least three hours with the lid closed the entire time.
Rib testing takes three hours on low, indirect heat.
Chris Monroe/CNET
Rib enthusiasts may not agree with this relatively short and smoke-free cooking method, but it allows us to see just how well a regular propane gas grill can cook low and slow. If time allows we continue cooking until the ribs are completely done and make note of the total cook time.
Chicken
To test the grill with a midrange cook time and medium heat settings, we grill a whole chicken. We preheat the grill on high for 10 minutes, then turn the heat down to medium and turn off burners to create an indirect heat environment.
Once we’ve trimmed and seasoned the bird, we place it in a roasting pan and insert one temperature probe into each chicken breast, for a total of two probes per chicken (this is an important step — even if the grill has a built-in thermometer — because undercooked chicken is no good for anyone). To keep our results as fair as possible, all the chickens are as close as possible to 5.5 pounds.
Whole chickens are cooked on indirect, medium heat until both breasts reach 165 degrees F.
Chris Monroe/CNET
Those temperature probes are connected to a data logger and laptop with software that records the internal temperature of each chicken breast every two seconds. Each chicken cooks until the temperature in both breasts reaches a food-safe 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Grilled chicken should have a crispy skin and meat that is cooked through fully but not dry. We perform this test in three rounds, giving us a solid average cooking time for each grill.
Burgers
Burgers are our final test for our grill reviews. We measure out 5.3 ounces of 80/20 ground beef and press them into uniform patties. Those patties go into a grill basket and we insert a temperature probe into the center of each patty at a 45-degree angle.
With the grill preheated for 10 minutes on high, the basket goes onto the grill. After six minutes of cooking, we flip the basket and monitor internal temperature. Once the last burger in the basket reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, the batch is finished. A good burger in this test is one that has both a nice outside char and a slightly pink center.

Burger testing points out any hot spots across the grill’s cooking surface if one burger consistently reaches 145 F before the others in every round.
An average 15- or 20-degree difference across the quickest and slowest patties in a batch was the norm in our testing. Red flags are raised when we begin to see differences in the 30- to 40-degree range.
A closer look at specs
Comparing these gas grills isn’t all apples to apples. With different grill sizes, cooking grates and BTU levels, a difference in performance is expected in each individual outdoor gas grill. Still, there are some observations to be made.
One thing our test data highlights is how quickly a grill can cook on its own medium or high setting. That doesn’t mean each grill is set to the same preheated temperature. It simply means we turned the knobs to what each grill indicated was medium heat.
The chart below compares each grill’s average cooking time for chicken and burgers over three identical tests. We run the clock until the last burger reaches 145˚F and the lowest chicken breast reaches 165˚F.

If speed isn’t your deciding factor, don’t fear. There are other characteristics you can compare to choose the grill that’s right for you.
Exactly which one is that? It depends on your cooking style. If you’re cooking for large groups frequently, you’ll need a grill with a large primary cooking surface, a warming rack and a side burner. Some of you might also have strong feelings about the cooking grates — you need stainless steel, or cast-iron grates, or porcelain-coated grates, or even porcelain-coated cast iron.
Look carefully at each description to be sure you get what you’re looking for. If you just plan to use your grill for flipping a few burgers occasionally, stick with a less expensive or smaller gas grill model. And of course, if you’re looking for a or an indoor grill, these won’t be right for you.
Once you’ve picked out the best grill for you, don’t forget accessories. You’ll want to look at grill covers and pick up grilling tools like a grill brush, a thermometer to check for food-safe temperatures and liners for the drip tray. Take a look at this chart to compare size, power, warranty and more.

Emerging: Brittany Peltz arrived at her billionaire father Nelson’s $103m Florida compound on Friday ahead of sister Nicola’s wedding to Brooklyn Beckham
Joined by her husband Franz Buerstedde and three-year-old son Phoenix Blu in the front of the vehicle, their flower girl daughters, Eva and Lila Rae, sat in the back.
Nicola’s only sister grew up as a competitive figure skater and studied film at NYU’s Tisch School after retiring from the sport.
She later founded childrenswear company, Leah + Rae, in February 2018, which sources its materials from across the globe and is made in a female-run factory in Manhattan.

Brooklyn and Nicola tied the knot in a stunning early-evening ceremony and enjoy lingering six-second kiss in front of celebrity guests in including Eva Longoria, Mel C, and tennis legend Serena Williams.
The proceedings started at 6pm sharp when the budding chef, 23, was joined by his 27-year-old bride for the nuptials in one of the massive tented structures set up at the Peltz $103million family estate in Palm Beach, Florida.
He could be seen waiting on his own on a stage garlanded with flowers and plants for 15 minutes before actress Nicola arrived for the $4million extravaganza.
Meanwhile, it appeared there were six groomsmen who joined him on his right and six maids of honour who placed themselves to his left.

The former photographer chose brothers Romeo and Cruz, 17, as his best men for his much-publicised marriage to the daughter of billionaire financier Nelson Peltz, 79.
As exclusively predicted by DailyMail.com, the couple wed under a flower-garlanded chuppah in traditional Jewish ceremony in honour of Nicola’s Jewish heritage.
Brooklyn also has some Jewish heritage through his soccer legend father David, 46, whose maternal grandfather was Jewish.
And in keeping with tradition, Brooklyn smashed a glass wrapped in a napkin under his heel after he and Nicola were married by a rabbi.

The newlyweds then enjoyed a lingering six-second kiss in front of celebrity guests.
The ceremony ended at 6.30pm, although Jewish weddings on a Saturday – the Sabbath – strictly speaking should not be conducted until the sun has gone down. Sundown is at around 8pm in Palm Beach.
Brooklyn and Nicola would have received the seven Jewish marriage blessings recited under the chuppah and over wine.The couple were seen taking sips.
Dad David had said he wanted to recite one of the blessings, which are traditionally given in Hebrew and sometimes then read in English.
The wedding took place in the first of the giant white tented structures filling the massive ocean front lawn, which was on the left looking at the Peltz mansion from the ocean.

After the ceremony, the guests moved to the centre tent, which has been dedicated to house a cocktail event.
They will then move to the third marquee, on the right, for the wedding banquet with food from celebrated Miami chef Thierry Isambert who used to cook for President Bill Clinton.
At the dinner, it is possible that the seven Jewish marriage blessings will be recited again – as is traditional among more devout families.They would also be recited each night for seven days.
The couple were joined by a star-studded guest list including Spice Girl Mel C and Eva Longoria for the celebrations, while Brooklyn’s proud grandfather Ted was also in attendance.

The father of David Beckham, 74, appeared to be in excellent spirits as he attended the nuptials at the Peltz’s sprawling oceanfront compound alongside his wife Hilary Meredith.
Ted, who split from David’s mother Sandra in 2002 after 33 years of marriage, looked dapper in a black tuxedo while Hilary stunned in a monochrome striped frock.
Before the ceremony, the couple strolled up to the wrong entrance on the big day before security pointed them in the right direction and gave them a life on a golf buggy, according to reports.
Nicola’s only sister Brittany, 30, was also seen at the wedding with her husband Franz Buerstedde, the Managing Director at Rhône Group, their two children – daughters, Eva and Lila Rae, and 10-month-old son Phoenix Blu.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been slammed by four of the country’s premiers for invoking the rarely-used Emergencies Act to bolster police presence across Canada to crack down on
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been slammed by four of the country’s premiers for invoking the rarely-used Emergencies Act to bolster police presence across Canada to crack down on protesters.
On Monday afternoon, Trudeau told protesters they need to ‘go home now’ – but he’s held back deploying the military under the Act, which grants powers that have been used only once before in peacetime, and will now be used to tackle protests over COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions.
Trudeau said that invoking the Act will strengthen the police’s ability to impose fines and even imprisonment for protesters who blockade borders.It will also grant them the power to tow vehicles, and banks will be given the power to freeze funds associated with protesters if they are used in relation to Freedom Convoy demonstrations.
On Monday night, one report suggested that tow truck drivers could be compelled – and paid – to assist the removal of vehicles blocking bridges.
‘We will not and cannot allow these illegal and dangerous activities to continue. There are other ways to express yourselves without engaging in illegal and dangerous activities,’ he said.
‘We are not using the Emergencies Act to call in the military.We are not limiting freedom of speech, freedom of assembly and people’s right to protest freely.’
Through protesters have been cleared from the key Ambassador Bridge, travel (Truy cập tại đây) where about 30 protesters were arrested on Sunday, large demonstrations continue to paralyze the streets of Ottawa and protesters are blockading several border crossings in western Canada.
At one of the blockades in Alberta, Canadian Mounties on Monday arrested 11 people and seized a cache of guns, body armor, high-capacity magazines and a machete in connection to what they said was a plot to use force against police if they attempted to disperse the protest.
Earlier, on Monday morning, Trudeau held meetings with his Liberal Caucus and the premiers of the nation’s provinces, who are the Canadian equivalent of state governors.
Following the meetings, the provincial premiers of Alberta, Manitoba, Quebec, and Saskatchewan spoke out opposing Trudeau’s extraordinary plan.
‘We have the legal powers that we need.We have the operational resources that we need to enforce, and I think at this point for the federal government to reach in over top of us without offering anything in particular would frankly be unhelpful,’ said Alberta Premier Jason Kenney, who is grappling with a border blockade at Coutts.
‘I am concerned that there’s a certain kind of person that if the federal government proceeds with this, who will be further inflamed and that could lead to prolongation of some of these protests,’ he added.
Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson, who also has a border blockade ongoing in her province, likewise said Trudeau’s plan as ‘not helpful’.
‘In my view, the sweeping effects and signals associated with the never-before-used Emergencies Act are not constructive here in Manitoba, where caution must be taken against overreach and unintended negative consequences,’ Stefanson said in a statement.
‘I am not currently satisfied the Emergencies Act should be applied in Manitoba.Winnipeg’s situation is dramatically different from the one in Ottawa,’ she added.
