[00:00:39] Hello, everyone. This is CCTV News Channel.
[00:00:43] It's 1:00 AM. Welcome to this news live broadcast.
[00:00:46] According to the latest data from the Customs, in the first seven months of this year,
[00:00:50] China's goods trade import and export reached 30.13 trillion yuan,
[00:00:53] reaching the 30 trillion yuan mark for the first time in history
[00:00:56] during the same period.
[00:01:07] In the first 7 months of this year, the total value of China's goods trade imports and exports was 30.13 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 17.3%. Among them, exports were 17.44 trillion yuan, an increase
[00:01:11] of 144%. Imports were 12.69 trillion yuan, an increase
[00:01:14] of 22%. In July, imports and exports were 4.66 trillion yuan, a year-on-year
[00:01:18] increase of 19.2%, continuing the good growth trend of the first half of the year.
[00:01:22] The scale of imports and exports has exceeded 4 trillion yuan for five consecutive months.
[00:01:26] In July, China's high-tech product exports increased by more than 50%.
[00:01:30] Nearly 60% of the export growth, electric vehicles and other green and low-carbon products
[00:01:34] exports, have maintained double-digit growth for 17 consecutive months. China has actively expanded
[00:01:37] its independent opening up, actively expanded imports, and promoted the balanced
[00:01:42] tankers means you cannot development of imports and exports. As of now,
[00:01:44] oil. zero-tariff policies have been implemented for 63 countries, and the import scale
[00:01:47] has ranked second globally for 17 consecutive years. In the first 7 months of this year,
[00:01:51] China's import growth rate was 8 percentage points faster than exports. More
[00:01:54] high-quality products from around the world are entering the Chinese market, sharing China's
[00:01:58] opportunities.
[00:03:00] As of August 7, the South-to-North Water Diversion Middle Route Project has accumulatively diverted
[00:03:04] more than 80 billion cubic meters of water to the north, benefiting
[00:03:08] nearly 118 million people in Henan, Hebei, Tianjin, and Beijing,
[00:03:12] 27 large and medium-sized cities and 243 counties
[00:03:15] along the route, bringing good water
[00:03:18] and water. Let's focus on China's
[00:03:22] flood situation. On the morning of the 7th, the Ministry of Water Resources held a meeting to analyze and judge the national flood control
[00:03:25] situation. In the next three days, floods may occur in the Yangtze River and Yellow River. happen.
[00:03:50] Affected by the upstream water, the Fuyuan section of the main stream of the Heilongjiang River will be over-alert, and the main stream of the Songhua River and its tributaries
[00:03:54] Hulan River, and the main stream of the Heilongjiang River from Tongjiang to Qindeli River. main stream of the Heilongjiang River, from Tongjiang to Qindeli River.
[00:03:58] The main stream of the Heilongjiang River, from Tongjiang to Qindeli River.
[00:04:03] Recently, the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief Committee Office, the Ministry of Emergency Management,
[00:04:07] together with the Ministry of Natural Resources, the Ministry of Water Resources, and other departments, held a meeting
[00:04:10] to analyze and judge the national natural disaster risk situation
[00:04:14] in August this year. The analysis believes that at present, China's
[00:04:18] seven major rivers and basins are still in the main flood season. It is expected that from
[00:04:22] mid-August to late August, China will enter a relatively active typhoon period,
[00:04:25] with two to three typhoons making landfall or significantly affecting China.
[00:04:29] China.
[00:04:32] Comprehensive analysis shows that at present, China's seven major river basins are still in
[00:04:36] the main flood season. It is expected that in August, the precipitation in Northeast China, eastern North China,
[00:04:40] northern and southern East China will be higher than the same period of previous years. Some
[00:04:43] rivers in the Yangtze River basin, Haihe River basin, Haihe River basin, Pearl River basin, and Songliao
[00:04:47] basin may experience floods. It is expected that from mid-August
[00:04:51] to late August, we will enter the typhoon relatively active period, with two to three
[00:04:55] typhoons making landfall or significantly affecting China. The typhoon intensity will be
[00:04:59] strong, and it will move.
[00:05:05] Among them, there will be a stronger typhoon moving northward and affecting northern
[00:05:09] China. According to predictions, northern Beijing and northern Hebei.
[00:05:44] The risk of grassland fires is relatively high in some areas of northern Xinjiang. The risk of grassland fires is also
[00:05:48] relatively high. On
[00:05:51] the 7th, the China-Europe Railway Express Service Center in the Daxing Airport Economic Zone
[00:05:55] was officially launched. At
[00:05:58] 10:30 AM, the first batch of cross-border e-commerce goods
[00:06:02] was dispatched from the Daxing Airport Comprehensive Bonded Zone and transported directly by highway
[00:06:06] to Shijiazhuang International Land Port, then exported to Europe via the China-Europe Railway Express,
[00:06:10] an economic air-port land-port.
[00:07:08] promote the high-level development of regional opening up.
[00:07:13] In 2026, the
[00:07:16] box office of films exceeded 8 billion yuan, and the annual box office was nearly 23.8
[00:07:19] billion yuan.
[00:07:20] yuan.
[00:07:28] ranked first and second with box office revenues of over 2.2 billion yuan and over
[00:07:32] 1.3 billion yuan, respectively. In addition, with many cinemas transforming to diversified
[00:07:36] operations and the rich film-related activities,
[00:07:39] the domestic cultural and tourism market and inbound tourism are constantly growing.
[00:08:24] According to Fars News Agency, a source said that according to
[00:08:28] the negotiations between Iran and Oman, during the transition period, ships
[00:08:32] will enter through the northern channel closer to the Iranian side and
[00:08:36] leave through the southern channel closer to the Omani side. After the transition
[00:08:40] period ends, both of the above channels
[00:09:05] On the same day, Fars News Agency also reported that Salimi, a member of the Iranian Parliament Presidium,
[00:09:09] disclosed the details of the initial draft of a proposed strategic management plan for
[00:09:13] the Strait of Hormuz. The main contents include that ships from countries such as
[00:09:17] the United States and Israel will be prohibited from passing through the Strait of Hormuz,
[00:09:21] military and civilian goods related to Israel will not be allowed to pass through
[00:09:25] the area, and ships or goods involved in actions against the resistance
[00:09:28] front will also be prohibited from passing. According to CNN,
[00:09:32] this is a document reviewed by Iran alone,
[00:09:36] and not part of the negotiations between Iran and Oman.
[00:09:40] Local time on the 6th, US President Trump said: :
[00:09:51] It is too early to say that an agreement on reopening the Strait of Hormuz has been formally reached, but the Strait is open to some extent, and the US is participating in relevant negotiations, and overall progress is good.
[00:09:55] In addition, according to US media citing a US official, the agreement
[00:09:59] reached between Iran and Oman on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz does not
[00:10:03] involve collecting passage fees. As
[00:10:06] the regional situation becomes tense again, the passage of tankers through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:10:10] still faces great uncertainty.
[00:10:12] For Iraq, which has long relied on the southern port of Basra for oil exports,
[00:10:16] whether tankers can smoothly pass through the Strait of Hormuz
[00:10:20] not only affects whether domestic oil production can operate normally, but also directly
[00:10:24] affects national financial revenue. For this reason, Iraq is
[00:10:28] accelerating the construction of multiple oil export channels to provide new
[00:10:32] options for easing oil shortages. The
[00:10:35] Strait of Hormuz, the waterway connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, has long
[00:10:39] determined the fate of Iraq's oil exports. Since the outbreak of the US-Iran conflict,
[00:10:43] shipping in the Strait of Hormuz has been severely disrupted. The risk of high dependence on a single
[00:10:46] oil export channel quickly emerged. Our exclusive footage from southern Iraqi
[00:10:50] ports shows that oil loading operations at the country's southern ports are
[00:10:54] still ongoing. However, whether tankers can arrive as planned and whether they can
[00:10:58] safely depart after loading are still directly affected by the passage conditions of the strait
[00:11:02] and the regional security situation. Oil exports are the main
[00:11:06] source of revenue for the Iraqi government, accounting for about 88%. Before
[00:11:09] the regional conflict, Iraq's daily oil exports were about 3.6 million barrels,
[00:11:13] of which about 3.4 million barrels were loaded at Basra Port
[00:11:17] and transported through the Strait of Hormuz to the international market.
[00:11:21] In March this year, due to tankers being unable to reach Iraq normally.
[00:11:44] However, as the regional conflict escalates again, the passage through the Strait of Hormuz slows down again, and Iraq's oil exports are again
[00:11:46] from Iraqi oil exports
[00:11:49] now because
[00:11:52] of the Strait of Hormuz. The problems
[00:11:55] still remain
[00:11:58] at the Strait,
[00:12:01] and therefore the inability to
[00:12:04] reach
[00:12:07] export
[00:12:09] There has been no improvement. Data from the Iraqi Ministry of Oil show that Iraq's oil exports in May and June of this year were 3/4 of the previous monthly export volume.
[00:13:28] The so-called filibuster rule refers to a party that is at a disadvantage
[00:13:32] in a vote, which can delay the progress of a bill by giving long speeches
[00:13:35] and other means. According to the current rules,
[00:13:39] to end a filibuster and proceed to a vote, at least 60 votes are required
[00:13:43] in the Senate's 100 seats. votes.
[00:13:45] votes.
[00:13:55] legislation, they do it by preventing the debate on the issue from ending a
[00:13:58] bill only needs a simple majority of 51 votes to pass upon
[00:14:02] completion of debate, but it actually takes 60 votes to end the debate. The existence of Senate Rule 53, the cloture rule, objectively hinders the legislative pace of the Republican Party, so Trump has publicly criticized this Senate rule many times.
[00:14:20] However, on the 5th, American Democrat Al
[00:14:36] It is understood that one of Saeed's important campaign platforms is to terminate the Senate's filibuster rule. In response, Trump on the 5th, in a tweet,
[00:14:40] strongly boasted that if Saeed successfully pushed the Democratic Party to abolish the filibuster,
[00:14:44] the Democratic Party would win four more Senate seats,
[00:14:48] eight House seats, and a large number of electoral votes and
[00:14:51] popular votes, and would also expand the Supreme Court.
[00:15:42] It has also transformed into actual control. Of course, it also raised the idea of abolishing the filibuster rule. In that case,
[00:15:45] Trump and the Republican Party naturally disagreed, so they
[00:15:49] raised objections. So from this, it can be seen that the existence of the filibuster rule
[00:15:53] is not a question of whether it is reasonable, or whether it is necessary to retain this rule,
[00:15:57] but a pure partisan dispute. If it benefits
[00:16:01] a certain party, they support its abolition. If it is unfavorable to a certain party, they
[00:16:05] firmly disagree with its abolition. This is a typical
[00:16:08] partisan struggle that completely overrides practical needs.
[00:16:12] need. What
[00:16:15] is revealed is actually the principles and concepts that American bipartisan politicians
[00:16:19] constantly talk about. But behind it, the only purpose
[00:16:22] is to maximize partisan self-interest and serve the maximization of
[00:16:26] the special interests it represents. This is a political agenda
[00:16:30] of self-interest. So it should be said that this is also a typical manifestation of the decline of American
[00:16:33] politics. According to Bloomberg,
[00:16:37] the Japanese yen has once again shown a trend of depreciation after the previous joint intervention by Japan and the US
[00:16:41] in the foreign exchange market, losing nearly half of the gains
[00:16:45] it made due to the joint intervention by Japan and the US in the market.
[00:16:47] On
[00:16:49] the 7th, the Japanese yen exchange rate once fell to 1 US dollar for
[00:16:53] 158.58 Japanese yen. Previously, after the joint intervention by Japan and the US
[00:16:57] in the foreign exchange market, the Japanese yen exchange rate once rose on the 3rd
[00:17:00] to 1 US dollar for 155.22 Japanese yen.
[00:17:04] Before the joint intervention by Japan and the US, in late July, the Japanese yen
[00:17:19] The report said that this decline highlights the limitations of intervention measures in reversing the yen's long-term decline. The huge
[00:17:23] interest rate differential between Japan and the US, Japan's heavy debt burden,
[00:17:27] and geopolitical uncertainties continue to put pressure on the yen exchange
[00:17:31] rate. Analysts pointed out that one of the reasons
[00:17:35] for the US to intervene to stabilize the yen exchange rate is that
[00:17:53] The US participation enhanced the symbolic significance of the intervention, increasing the risk for speculators to continue to unilaterally short the yen. However,
[00:17:56] if Japan's fiscal policy and central bank interest rate policy do not change,
[00:18:00] it will be difficult for the yen to gain lasting support. On
[00:18:04] the 7th, Japan's Ministry of Finance announced the data for April to June this year.
[00:18:30] On the 7th, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Peru issued a joint communiqué with the Mexican
[00:18:33] government, announcing the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two countries. The communiqué stated:
[00:18:46] Based on the long-standing brotherhood, friendly relations, and cooperation between the two countries, the government of the Republic of Peru and the government of Mexico have agreed to resume diplomatic relations between the two countries. In November 2025,
[00:18:49] the Mexican Embassy in Peru announced that it would provide
[00:18:53] diplomatic asylum to Betssy Chávez, Peru's former prime minister,
[00:18:57] who was on trial for allegedly participating in the failed coup
[00:19:00] launched by former Peruvian President Castillo in 2022. Betssy Chávez
[00:19:04] offered diplomatic asylum. The Peruvian government
[00:19:18] Let's focus on the high temperatures in Europe. The recent continuous high temperatures have not only made the forests in Europe suffer, but also impacted many
[00:19:21] areas such as agriculture and shipping.
[00:19:23] shipping.
[00:19:26] Affected by the heatwave and long-term drought, the forests in Valais, Switzerland,
[00:19:30] are facing a serious water crisis. For several months, vegetation
[00:19:33] and soil have been very dry, which was originally lush.
[00:20:07] that we have a flower but after that the flower falls off the plant and then there's nothing
[00:20:10] behind it and my objective is still to have
[00:20:13] yield. The low water level of the waterway is affecting the production of commercial industrial areas.
[00:20:21] The industry shows that the Rhine, a major industrial center, is at its lowest water level.
[00:20:31] It's very dry, there's no rain in sight. As long as it doesn't rain,
[00:20:35] nothing will change in this situation and the water levels will continue to fall.
[00:20:38] Ships have long been unable to fully
[00:20:41] unload, no longer able to sail fully loaded, they have been sailing for a very long time
[00:20:44] with, if they are still sailing at all, with a very low
[00:20:48] capacity. The ships that are still underway are
[00:20:51] comparatively small and have here in this area perhaps
[00:20:55] still 25, perhaps sometimes
[00:20:57] 20%.
