An angry back-and-forth is developing as Australia and China stand their ground on an altercation involving the two countries' aircrafts.

An Australian navy helicopter was forced to take evasive action after a Chinese air force plane launched flares closely ahead of it over the Yellow Sea on Saturday. Australia called the move "unsafe" but China hit back with a very different account, saying it behaved appropriately and asked Australia to stop its "provocations" near Chinese airspace.

But Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was having none of it on Wednesday, standing firm on Canberra's position.

"There's no question that the Australian Defence Force personnel were both in international waters and in international airspace," he told reporters in Perth on Wednesday.

The opposition has supported the government's position, saying it's entirely appropriate for Australian vessels to be active in international waters.

"It was not only not in China's territorial waters, it wasn't even in China's exclusive economic zone," opposition home affairs spokesman James Paterson told ABC radio.

"So it appears to be way out of the bounds of behaviour from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force."

Questions are being asked of Mexican police's version of events relating to the shooting deaths of Australian brothers Callum and Jake Robinson whilst on a surf strip.

Authorities' leading theory behind their deaths is they were involved in a tyre theft gone wrong. However those who know the area find it hard to believe, the New York Post reported.

“Basically, the reasoning of them being carjack victims gone wrong makes very little sense,” a source who works in private security in the region told the publication.

“These surfers were well travelled and would most likely know better than to try to fend off a truck jacking.

“My guess is they were mistakenly identified as a rival criminal organisation and murdered. “That being exposed would create an ongoing investigation that no cartel wants to deal with and would create a devastating impact on tourism in the area."

Boy Scouts of America is changing to Scouting America as it looks to inclusivity in a bid to tackle dwindling numbers.

“In the next 100 years we want any youth in America to feel very, very welcome to come into our programs,” CEO Roger Krone, who was appointed last year said.

One of the reasons for dropping 'Boy' from the name was that girls across the country had no idea they were able to join.

The organization began allowing gay youth in 2013 and ended a blanket ban on gay adult leaders in 2015. In 2017, it made the historic announcement that girls would be accepted as Cub Scouts as of 2018 and into the flagship Boy Scout program.

Unsurprisingly, China has a very different account as to what happened when a Chinese fighter jet clashed with an Australian naval helicopter last weekend.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said the Australian aircraft deliberately flew within close range of the jet, leaving it no choice but to fire flares in its path.

"The way the situation was handled [by China] was consistent with our laws and regulations, professional and safe. China has lodged serious protests to the Australian side on its risky moves," he said.

"We urge Australia to immediately stop the provocations and hypes to prevent misunderstanding and miscalculation."

Australia had earlier called the move by China "unprofessional".

While Australia has enjoyed improved ties with China since Anthony Albanese became prime minister, such incidents continue to test the relationship.
