Hutorian Broadcasting Channel - NewsGood evening Welcome to the Federal, Hutori's chief place for news I'm Patrick White.
ProvincalAdelia Crowns MonarchThere were huge celebrations across Adelia today as the province officially became a Constitional Monarchy with the coronation of their new King.
His Royal Majesty, Richard I of House Steuart-Acton, First King of AdeliaThe new King, Richard I, is a long descendent of the Steuart Family, one of Hutori's wealthiest and most powerful family dynasties and a direct descendent of Princess Sarah, the last Princess Royal, Duchess of Kenai, and a mythic HSIS Counter Intelligence Officer.
While the Constitional Amendment changing Adelia into a Monarchy occured almost 5 years ago, negotiations between Bekenial and Acton were slow, as powers were divvied up between Acton and the new Federal District of Bekenial.
In his open address the 77 year old King thanked the people of Adelia so entrusting him as their Monarch and swore to uphold his duties as long as life retained in his body. He also took special time to note that he would ensure the Proletarian Enclaves outside of Glentingham had their autonomy respected and looked forward to visiting them himself as an Adelian citizen.
A spokesperson for the Royal Family has already stated that the family will maintain a residence as Private citizens in the Federal District of Bekenial at their ancestral home at Steuart House while their primary residence will bet Acton at Lion House, the former official residence of the Duke of Adelia during the time of the last Hutorian Monarchy.
NationalMoD to Sell Queen SarahsA light tender was put out to international partners and buyers that two of Hutori's most famous, and recently retired, Aircraft Carriers, the
Queen Sarah and
King William III were being put up for sale.
The twin Carriers were built in the early 40th century during the reign of King Henry I as a way of bringing Hutorian Naval power forward. A third Carrier, the Matthew Jameson, of the same class had also been built but was sunk during the Great Terra War by a Trigunian Submarine and multiple hits from Trigunian aircraft. The remaining two Aircraft Carriers were retired following the completion of the new
Graham class Supercarriers.
According to a Ministry of Defence Official, the Queen Sarah are still quite advanced as Carriers go, with it being noted that they are still amongst Terra's newest and most advanced Carriers, being beaten in terms of size and capacity by the Aircraft Carrier attached to Vanuku's legendary First Fleet, the Onassus class of the Zardic Navy, and the Williams and Graham class of the Hutorian Navy.
Commander Daniel Pottinger; Spokesperson, Hutorian NavyThat the Queen Sarah class of Aircraft Carrier are only beaten by a handful of Carriers world wide, and two of them come from Hutori itself, says alot about their staying power, their design and their ability for power projection and they would be a fine addition to an allied navy internationally.
Satanil-III Missile UnveiledHorizon Technology Corporation unveiled in a press conference earlier today the new Satanil-III Intercontinental Ballastic Missile, capable of striking targets on the opposite side of Terra.
The Satanil-III is the third generation ICBM developed by Horizon Technology. Defence Analysts have already stated the Satanil and it's variants are not just capable of being land based but are capable of being launched by both Aircraft and Submarines, a move that no doubt includes the Hutorian HB-22 Emancipator long range strategic bomber and Sentinel class Nuclear Submarine.
While not explicitly stated it's widely believed the Satanil-III was developed exclusively for the Hutorian Armed Forces and their strategic weapons divisions though all requests for comment from Minister of Defence River Jensen or Chief of the Defence Staff Admiral Ronald Woodbury were met with "no comment."
PoliticalFirst debate between National Progress Party Leadership CandidatesYesterday, the first debate between the three candidates to succeed Kim Bokota as Leader of the National Progress Party was held Constantine. The Leadership race thus far has been incredibly heated between the three potentional successors, with this debate being highlighted with aggression on all counts. During the debate the candidate Emily Hamilton claim that she had the intention to lower the number of immigrants and the number of refugees that enter Hutori each year while the other candidate, Carl Fernandez, respond that it was ''the stupidiest thing that he had ever heard''.
This leadership election has been one of the most divided in the story of the party. The division is mainly caused by the disagreement between the two major Carl Fernandez and Emily Hamilton. While Emily Hamilton wants to make the party more moderate and closer to the center, to attempt to regain the ground being lost over the last several election cycles, Carl Fernandez has claim that he wants to return the Party to its more leftist roots to reassert its dominance over the left slowly being given by the more left wing Hutori Progressives.
According to a recent internal poll, 27.5% of the members of the NPP have the intention to vote for Emily Hamilton, 23% of them have the intention to vote for Carl Fernandez and 19% want's to vote for Prime Minister Daphne Chang as the compromise candidate, while 30.5% of the members are still undecided.
