CSBC refutes submarine prototype hull deformation rumor C-S-B-C is refuting reports that have been appearing on the internet claiming its Narwhal indigenous submarine prototype showed signs of hull deformation during its initial sea trials last week. The shipbuilder says protrusion on the port side of the bow of the Narwhal, houses the submarine's passive ranging sonar system, and was not a deformation as has been alleged by some internet users. According to C-S-B-C, the sonar dome protects the sonar system, and the protrusion (凸起) is due to the installation of high-precision electronic sonar components inside the dome. Reports say the posts on the internet are believed to be part Beijing's campaign to spread military disinformation targeting Taiwan.

Syria Suicide Bomber Kills 20 in Church A suicide bomber has killed at least 20 in a Greek Orthodox church in Syria AP correspondent Donna Warder reports Turkey Detains Journalist Critical of Erdogan Turkish state media say authorities have formally arrested a prominent journalist on Sunday for allegedly "threatening" President Recep Tayyip Erdogan online. The detention of Fatih Altayli, whose daily commentaries on YouTube attract hundreds of thousands of viewers, comes amid a widespread crackdown on the opposition. State-run Anadolu Agency said he was questioned after his detention late Saturday over a comment he made following a recent poll that showed more than 70% of the public opposed (反對) a lifetime presidency for Erdogan, who has been in power for more than two decades. Local media says Altayli denied the accusation during police questioning. Spain Reaches NATO Deal on Defense Spending Target Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez says that Spain reached a deal with NATO to be excluded from a 5% of GDP defense spending target. The deal was reached days before the military alliance’s leaders will gather at a summit in The Hague. Sanchez said that Spain would be able to keep its commitments to the 32-nation military alliance by spending 2.1% of GDP on defense needs. In letters exchanged on Sunday between NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and Sanchez, Spain was granted the exemption (免除，豁免) and the language around the 5% spending target was adjusted (調整) to no longer include all 32 allies. That was the I.C.R.T.
