In this episode, we cover Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE,

highlight new tax benefits for deployed CAF members,

and present a special Bravo Zulu to Leading Seaman William Hull

for his 474th blood donation.

Welcome back to Defence Team News.

I'm Captain Jean-François Lambert.

And I'm Shannon Albert.

Here's what's going on in Defence for the week of May 29th.

On May 14, approximately 5000 personnel from Canada

and four other nations officially began Exercise MAPLE RESOLVE 2017

at the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre in Wainwright, Alberta.

The exercise is the Canadian Army's largest,

most comprehensive Canadian Army training event of the year

with additional participation from the Royal Canadian Air Force.

Ending today, it culminates a busy, progressive training schedule

that began almost a year ago.

Upon completing training on this exercise,

Task Force Tomahawk, based out of Petawawa,

will demonstrate their high-readiness and their ability to operate

anywhere in the world through decisive land and air power.

This task force will assume its responsibilities

as the Army's high readiness brigade on July 1.

The Government recently announced that all Canadian Armed Forces

personnel deployed on international operations

will be exempt from federal income taxes.

This tax relief would apply up to and including the pay level

of Lieutenant-Colonel and also to police officers

deployed on international operational missions.

This announcement comes as part of the changes and new measures

included in Canada's soon-to-be-released Defence Policy.

Leading Seaman William Hull, a 50-year-old Naval Communicator

with Base Information Services,

made his 474th blood donation at CFB Esquimalt on April 10.

Despite a self-proclaimed phobia of needles,

Leading Seaman Hull`s realization that each time

he might be helping someone in need

has allowed him to reach this incredibly altruistic milestone.

After his first donation at the Canadian Red Cross

in St. John's, Newfoundland in 1984

he has made 209 White Blood Donations and 264 Platelet Donations.

Bravo Zulu, Leading Seaman Hull!

That's it for us. Thank you so much for watching.

Meghan Markle "Banned" From Pippa Middleton Wedding Is Fake News - Duration: 2:04.

Meghan Markle was not �banned� or �barred� from Pippa Middleton�s wedding on Saturday,

despite a fake news story.

And the contention that Prince Harry was �upset� and �looked miserable,� as a result, is

also a lie.

Markle was at the wedding, and Prince Harry was quite happy about it.

According to the serial fibbers at RadarOnline, �Prince Harry looked miserable� at Middleton�s

wedding because Markle was �banned.� The outlet further maintains the reason Markle

wasn�t at the nuptials was that the bride feared the actress �would upstage her.�

After that, the website literally just repeats itself but switches around its phrases with

different synonyms.

Having already wrongly alleged that Prince Harry was �miserable� and �upset�

that his girlfriend was not at Middleton�s wedding, the often discredited site notes

he looked �sad� because Markle was �nowhere to be seen.� Repeating again that Middleton

supposedly didn�t want to be �upstaged at her own wedding,� the uncreative and

unreliable outlet writes, �Prince Harry looked somber.� And while it has widely

(and accurately) been reported that Markle wouldn�t attend the smaller church ceremony

because of the Middleton�s policy of a plus one only for married or engaged couples, the

fabricators at RadarOnline suddenly have a �source,� who phonily says that rule was

made �solely for [Prince Harry�s] girlfriend.� Are we really supposed to believe that the

plus one policy for only married or engaged couples was put into place just to �ban�

Markle?

Of course, despite the untrustworthy site�s claim, the �Suits� actress actually joined

Prince Harry at the wedding reception.

So basically, the entire story is untrue.

tell us your thoughts in comments below.

John Cena Returning To WWE Smackdown!? Top NXT Star Injured... | WrestleTalk News May 2017 - Duration: 4:10.

Hello and welcome to the WrestleTalk News!

I'm Oli Davis.

Braun Strowman might be a Monster Among Men in the professional wrestling ring, but outside...he's

actually a really, really nice guy.

The Abominable Strowman has spoken to The Ringer, where he self-deprecatingly explained

the Superman tattoo on his right arm - it was the first ink he ever got, and has since

had it expanded "because it'd look like a zit on my arm nowadays" - and revealed

who would win in a fight between himself and Little Mermaid villain Ursula: "If she gets

her hands on me, I might be in trouble...and I might like it!"

Just to remind everyone what Little Mermaid villain Ursula looks like, here's a picture

of Braun's secret Disney crush.

Fit.

To cap off his weekend of kayfabe destroying interviews, Braun has shared a fan-made poster

on his Instagram to wish everyone a happy Memorial Day Weekend - a parody of the iconic

US Army recruitment poster, with Braun photoshopped in for Uncle Sam and the caption 'I'M

NOT FINISHED WITH YOU!'

Strowman was originally planned to be taking on The Beast Incarnate Brock Lesnar at Great

Balls of Fire - still an actual pay-per-view name - but his minor elbow surgery has required

WWE to rewrite Raw's top programme.

Sadly, one of the top feuds in NXT might also need delaying because of injury.

NXT TakeOver: Chicago ended with Tommaso Ciampa cruelly turning on his best friend and tag

team partner Johnny Gargano following their ladder match loss against the Authors of Pain.

It was emotionally devastating and I don't want to talk about it.

Ciampa appeared to pick up an injury at a house show just days before his NXT TakeOver

turn, with fans tweeting that the referee threw up the 'X' hand sign - the signal

to notify backstage officials an injury is legitimate - while Ciampa yelled "get me

outta here".

Ciampa wrestled at NXT TakeOver anyway, but according to PWInsider, he suffered another

injury during the main event.

It turns out Ciampa will need to undergo surgery on his ankle, and was scheduled in for the

procedure at Birmingham, Alabama late last week.

This is a real shame for NXT's hottest blood feud, with the Ciampa/Gargano story having

to take a hiatus immediately after its emotionally devastating heel turn.

Ciampa did appear at last Wednesday's NXT TV tapings using crutches, where he cut a

promo on why he attacked his former best friend - and that when he returns from injury, he

promises to be the most dangerous person in professional wrestling.

He'll have some competition, though!

John Cena hasn't been seen on WWE TV since he proposed to Nikki Bella at Wrestlemania

33, taking two months off to work on various non-WWE projects, one being reality show American

Grit, which Cena wrapped production on at the weekend.

"Taking a second to regroup and recharge.

Finishing up a wonderfully funny project in Atlanta, then a trip back home is long overdue

@WWE" The 'funny project in Atlanta' is most

likely The Pact, which will be released next year.

But something else is going down in Atlanta on Tuesday night - this week's episode of

Smackdown Live.

Cena is currently only being advertised for the 4th July episode of Smackdown, which Sportskeeda

claim is to give the typically low holiday rating a boost.

But with WWE viewership declining to record levels since Wrestlemania, perhaps Cena is

being called back even earlier than the July date.

Is Jinder Mahal as WWE Champion good or bad for Smackdown Live?

Luke Owen and I attempt a calm and measured debate answering just that.

And there's been an update on the $1 million wrestling return offer to CM Punk.

I've been Oli Davis, and that was wrestling.

Rugby News Week 1 will have plenty of storylines - Duration: 4:28.

Week 1 will have plenty of storylines

Week 1 is not just Florida State and Alabama.

The game times and networks for college footballs opening week have officially been released, and while the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game in Atlanta will overshadow the rest of the schedule, theres plenty to watch (including mullets) as Year 4 of the College Football Playoff officially begins.

Heres a breakdown of Week 1 storylines:.

Coordinating revenge: Ohio State at Indiana (Aug. Former Indiana coach Kevin Wilson is now the offensive coordinator for the Buckeyes, and he opens the season in Bloomington, where he resigned amid allegations of the mistreatment of injured players.

He told reporters this spring that there is no evidence he mistreated players. Wilsons profile has arguably been raised despite going from head coach to coordinator.

Now he returns to IU with the motivation of CFP hopes and the emotions of how his controversial tenure with the Hoosiers ended.

2017-18 College Football Playoff and bowl schedule. Heres a look at the entire College Football Playoff and college football bowl lineup for 2017-18.

Noles-Tide matchup highlights Week 1 docket. Alabama, and Michigan at Florida are among the marquee matchups slated to air on the ESPN family of networks during Week 1 of the 2017-18 college football season.

Biggest playoff implications: Alabama vs. Florida State, Atlanta (Sept. Yes, the loser of this game is still in the playoff conversation.

Consider, though, the pressure that will follow the loser for the rest of the season -- remember Oklahomas loss to Houston last year? We have yet to see a two-loss team in the playoff, and while its certainly possible, it means the rest of the wins have to be better than any of the one-loss resumes.

For the winner, it would mean an important resume boost that would carry weight with the selection committee throughout the season. Most in need of a win: Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly. Temple at Notre Dame.

After a 4-8 finish in 2016, Kelly has little if any margin for error, and opening the season with a home loss to a Group of 5 school, albeit a good one, would fan the flames of his already hot seat.

The Owls have won 10 games in each of the past two seasons, but they have a new head coach: former Florida defensive coordinator Geoff Collins.

If the Irish cant make a turnaround this season, theyll soon have a new head coach, too.

Most entertaining return: Even when hes boring (watch his signing day promotional video), Lane Kiffin causes a stir. Alabamas former offensive coordinator will make his debut as head coach of FAU in a home game against Navy.

His hire alone has raised the profile of the Owls, and his scholarship offer to former QB Tee Martins 13-year-old son earlier this month made headlines.

Now we get to see Kiffin be a head coach again for the first time since he was fired by USC on an airport tarmac in 2013.

Most to prove: Texas A&M at UCLA. Bruins coach Jim Mora finished 4-8 last season, and Aggies coach Kevin Sumlin is stuck on repeat at 8-5.

If only the schedule were six weeks long, Sumlin would be king. Instead, after starting each of the past three seasons 5-0, he has finished 8-5 for three straight years.

This game was a thriller last year, as the Aggies won 31-24 in overtime. They will be breaking in a new starting quarterback on the road, though, while UCLAs Josh Rosen has a new coordinator in Jedd Fisch.

Biggest debut: Texas coach Tom Herman. He was arguably the biggest coaching hire of the offseason, and fans saw plenty of immediate off-field changes in the structure of the program, both literally and figuratively.

Now they want to see it translate to wins. Herman opens his tenure in Austin with a home game against Maryland.

Its a game Texas should -- and needs to -- win after three straight losing seasons. Fans and boosters in Austin have a low tolerance for anyone who doesnt win quickly.

Cowboys in CFP? Mullet over: Even if his team isnt in the top four, Mike Gundys hair is. You may have seen him before, wearing a wrestling singlet.

The Gundy mullet has taken on a persona of its own and has inspired Oklahoma State along the way. The question this fall is whether Gundy can get the CFP selection committee to take his Cowboys seriously, starting Week 1 against Tulsa.

Mason Rudolph returns at quarterback, along with his top target, receiver James Washington, but dont sleep on Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane won 10 games last season and scored 42.5 points per game.

Searching for style points: Appalachian State at Georgia (Sept. Like Tennessee last year, Georgia is hearing the hype of being a legit contender in the SEC East.

And much like Tennessee last year, Georgia is opening against App State. Unlike Tennessee, Georgia needs to come out swinging, leaving no doubt whos the better team.

The Vols needed overtime to beat App State 20-13 and were immediately discounted as top-10 material. Rivalry renewed: Hey kids, there used to be a conference called the Big East.

For anyone who remembers, it will be nice to see old foes Virginia Tech and West Virginia line up against each other for the first time since 2005 (Sept. Theyre both coming off 10-win seasons and should be preseason top-25 teams.
