North Jiangsu Canal Water Level

HUAI'AN, CHINA - JUNE 20, 2024 - Aerial photo taken on June 20, 2024 shows a large number of ships waiting to be locked upstream of Huaian Lock on the North Jiangsu Canal. Since June, the water level of Huaian section of the Subei Canal has continued to fall under the influence of factors such as increased agricultural water use and drought. In order to ensure the normal operation of the navigation lock during the period of low water level, the northern Jiangsu Navigation Management Office launched an emergency plan, repeatedly consulted with the water conservancy department to ensure shipping water, increased water transfer and replenishment efforts, and fully guaranteed the shipping demand of the northern Jiangsu Canal.

US Navy Ending Aircraft Carrier's Middle East Deployment

Handout photo dated May 15, 2020 shows the aircraft carrier USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) pulls alongside the underway replenishment oiler USNS Patuxent (T-AO 201) during a replenishment-at-sea in the Atlantic Ocean. The Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier will return to its home port, the U.S. Navy said on Monday, ending its deployment to the eastern Mediterranean, which started in support of Israel after the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants. The nuclear-powered Ford, the Navy's newest carrier with over 4,000 personnel and eight squadrons of aircraft, became a powerful symbol of American support by rushing closer to Israel after the Palestinian militant group's attack.
