The prime minister’s remarks are likely to draw ire from the large group of China skeptics in the Tories, including former leader Iain Duncan Smith and others such as Alicia Kearns, who chairs the foreign affairs committee.

If there’s any honesty on your part –” Xi said, at which point Trudeau cut him off. “We believe in free, open and honest dialogue and we will continue to have that....

The Solar Orbiter has detected a “pipe” of cooler atmospheric gases that is rapidly making its way through the Sun’s strong magnetic field. This observation provides an exciting new addition to the zoo of features revealed by the Solar Orbiter mission, led by the European Space Agency (ESA).

The snake was spotted on September 5, 2022, as the Solar Orbiter spacecraft approached the Sun for a close pass on October 12....
