Former defence minister Al Carns has praised Royal Marine Commandos after they boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker in the English Channel. Describing the operation as "heroic", Carns said the complex overnight mission required exceptional skill, planning and bravery. Mr Carns resigned earlier this week over disagreements in funding for the long-delayed defence investment plan. Report by Etemadil.

00:09night. Very difficult to plan, very difficult to execute. Exceptionally brave, but perfectly done.
