Welcome to this news live broadcast [00:00:39] at 11 am. Today, the key project of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the Lion [00:00:43] Ocean Tunnel project, has made new progress in construction . The key stress-bearing structure of the controlled [00:00:47] engineering Shiziyang Bridge, which is hailed as the "Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle" of the bridge, has completed [00:00:50] all main construction of the two anchorages [00:00:53] . [00:00:55] At the Pearl River estuary, the East and West anchorages are like two huge [00:00:59] . They stand firmly [00:01:01] wanted me to go in a different flight, a on both sides of the bridge, among which the foundation diameter of the West anchorage [00:01:04] is 130 meters, with a total weight of 1.4 million tons and a depth [00:01:08] of 36 meters. The West anchorage is currently the largest [00:01:12] suspension bridge anchorage in the world. The anchorage is one of the key [00:01:16] stress-bearing components of a suspension bridge. They are responsible for firmly pulling the main [00:01:20] cable from both ends and transmitting the huge pulling force from the main cable and bridge [00:01:23] deck firmly to the ground , which is the ballast [00:01:27] stone that ensures the bridge's century-long safety and durability. With the completion [00:01:31] of the main body of the anchorage , it means that the bridge's foundation [00:01:35] has been stabilized, laying the foundation for the subsequent erection of the catenary [00:01:38] and main cable. The project is expected to be completed in 2029. After completion, the main bridge [00:01:42] will set a world record for twin-tower suspension bridge in terms of main span [00:01:46] , main tower height, anchorage foundation , and number of lanes. The Shiziyang [00:01:49] Tunnel has a total length of about 35 kilometers, starting from Nansha, Guangzhou [00:01:53] in the west and ending at Humen and Shatian towns in Dongguan in the east. It is composed [00:01:57] of a cross-river main bridge and land approach bridges. It is the first [00:02:01] double-deck composite highway tunnel across the Pearl River estuary, with a total of 16 [00:02:05] lanes on the upper and lower decks. The upper deck is an expressway, and the lower [00:02:08] deck is connected to local urban roads. There are 11 [00:02:12] interchanges along the entire line. The Shiziyang Tunnel [00:02:16] is another important cross-river tunnel in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay [00:02:20] Area after the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge and the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link. After completion, it will further [00:02:24] strengthen the trunk traffic network of the Golden Bay Area of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao [00:02:27] Greater Bay Area and promote the coordinated development of the urban [00:02:31] agglomeration. The West anchorage of the Shiziyang Bridge is the largest suspension bridge anchorage in the world. How does this [00:02:35] super giant firmly take root in the Pearl River estuary? Let's follow [00:02:39] the reporter to visit . [00:02:42] This is the top of the West anchorage of the Shiziyang Bridge. Behind [00:02:46] me is the main tower of the Shiziyang Bridge, the world's first [00:02:50] double-deck suspension bridge over 2000 meters . In the future, the bridge's main [00:02:53] cable, which is as thick as 1.5 meters , will extend from the top of the tower [00:02:57] to this point, firmly anchored under my feet. Therefore, as [00:03:01] the stress-bearing foundation, the anchorage must be large enough. Now, let's [00:03:05] zoom out the camera. You can feel it. When I stand [00:03:08] here, don't I look particularly small? How big is it? The foundation [00:03:12] is nearly 130 meters in diameter, which is equivalent to the length of about five standard basketball [00:03:16] courts connected end to end . It is 36 meters deep, which is equivalent [00:03:20] to 12 floors underground . The total amount of concrete used [00:03:23] is 550,000 cubic meters, and the total weight is about 1.4 million tons [00:03:27] , which is equivalent to 25 empty aircraft carriers. This set of data [00:03:31] makes it the largest suspension bridge anchorage in the world [00:03:34] . Now, follow me into the heart of the anchorage. Everyone, look at the [00:03:38] neatly arranged anchoring system in front of you. Isn't it particularly [00:03:42] magnificent? One end of it is buried in the concrete, and the other [00:03:45] end will be connected to more than 300 strands of the main cable [00:03:49] , just like individual tendons, firmly grasping [00:03:53] the main cable to pull more than 200,000 tons of force [00:03:56] . However, to hold a double-deck, 16-lane bridge, looking at this model of the anchorage, it's like a series of planks connecting a wooden barrel. At the outermost part of the entire anchorage, an integrated set of domestically produced equipment is used to create a thick [00:04:37] barrier to block groundwater and salt from entering. Second, build an internal structural armor. The construction of the anchorage [00:04:41] used new type of concrete and corrosion-resistant steel, and increased the number of [00:04:44] rock-socketed piles, making it dense enough and corrosion-resistant [00:04:48] itself. Third, create a smart brain. During the construction [00:04:52] process, nearly 2000 monitoring points and more than 30 composite [00:04:56] long-rod sensors were embedded in the anchorage. A digital anchorage [00:04:59] system was built, which can precisely control the temperature of concrete [00:05:03] pouring to prevent cracking, and also monitor the stress, water [00:05:07] intrusion, corrosion, and other conditions [00:05:08] of the anchorage structure. [00:05:43] The latest data shows that in August , the production and sales of new energy [00:05:47] vehicles completed 1.576 million units and 1.561 million [00:05:51] units respectively, with year-on-year growth of 26.8% and [00:05:55] 23.7% respectively. The sales of new energy vehicles reached [00:05:59] 60.4% of the total sales of new vehicles [00:06:03] , exceeding 60% for the first time . From January to July, the production and sales [00:06:06] of new energy vehicles both exceeded 9 million units, and the sales [00:06:10] of new energy vehicles reached [00:07:25] In Berlin, the capital of Germany, an exhibition titled "Breaking the Silence - Women Accuse Japan" opened in June this year [00:07:29] and will continue until August 18th. [00:08:13] tell and that we remember what happened to them, that it [00:08:17] never happens again. it's particularly important [00:08:20] also in Germany, because in Germany um we [00:08:24] have um heard lot about nazi [00:08:27] crimes, but not very much about sexual [00:08:30] violence, so um, when we [00:08:33] hear about sexual violence through the Japanese army, we [00:08:37] can also ask, what about sexual violence by nazi [00:08:41] men, so it's it's... [00:09:36] I think the Japanese government will do everything [00:09:39] they can, they will try with all their might. [00:10:34] In our time today, where wars happen and in these wars crimes still [00:10:38] happen, especially [00:10:40] against women, these are topics that always happen [00:10:44] with every war and [00:10:47] such a global memory is necessary [00:10:51] as long as there are wars. [00:10:56] Tomorrow, August 14th, is the World Comfort Women Memorial Day. [00:10:59] On the 12th, South Korean Comfort Women victims' groups and other civic organizations [00:11:03] held a protest rally in front of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul, calling on the Japanese [00:11:07] government to reflect on its war crimes and compensate the victims [00:11:10] . [00:11:12] The people on the scene chanted slogans , holding banners with messages such as "sincere [00:11:16] apology and legal compensation", "stop Japanese militarism", and "oppose [00:11:20] the US-Japan-South Korea military alliance" , demanding that the Japanese [00:11:24] government [00:12:31] That is, the Supreme Court ruled on the same day in a final appeal case brought by victims of forced labor during World War II against a Japanese company, upholding the second instance judgment and ordering the defendant to pay 80 million Korean won, which is about [00:12:35] 380,000 Chinese yuan in compensation [00:12:38] . [00:12:42] A victim of forced labor in South Korea, Mr. Min, filed a claim against Japan Iron [00:12:46] and Steel Company in April 2019. In February 2022 [00:12:50] , the court dismissed the case on the grounds that the right to claim damages [00:12:53] had exceeded the statute of limitations [00:13:05] . On the 12th, the South Korean Supreme Court upheld the second instance judgment, ruling that [00:13:09] Japan Steel Company must pay damages [00:13:12] . During Japan's colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945 [00:13:16] , a large number of laborers were forcibly taken to Japan to do hard labor. [00:13:20] For a long time, Korean forced laborers and their families have repeatedly filed lawsuits [00:13:23] to claim compensation from Japan. However, the Japanese government and relevant companies have always [00:13:27] refused to compensate on the grounds that the issue of compensation was resolved [00:13:31] by the Korea-Japan Claims Agreement . In October 2018, the South Korean Supreme Court [00:13:34] ruled that Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (now Japan Steel [00:13:38] Corporation) should compensate each Korean victim of forced labor [00:13:42] during World War II 100 million Korean won . It clearly [00:13:46] stated that the Korea-Japan Claims Agreement signed when Korea and Japan normalized [00:13:49] diplomatic relations in 1965 did not prevent Korean forced laborers from exercising [00:13:53] their individual claims . [00:13:55] 。 [00:14:01] You are watching News Live [00:14:05] . [00:14:11] However, it still brings impact to many parts of our country. The Central [00:14:15] Meteorological Station continued to issue a yellow rain warning this morning. It is expected that from 2 pm today to [00:14:18] 2 pm tomorrow, parts of southeastern Henan , northern and eastern Hubei, and central [00:14:22] , western and southern Fujian will experience heavy rain. [00:14:55] Before the flood diversion zone was officially put into use , the local area had already completed [00:14:59] the advance evacuation. At present, in the local centralized resettlement sites, drinking water [00:15:03] , food, bedding, and basic medical care are all in place [00:15:07] to ensure the basic life and health of the evacuated people [00:15:10] . What is a flood diversion zone? Let's take a look [00:15:13] . [00:15:18] It refers to the lakes and wetlands outside the river bed that temporarily store floodwater and discharge flood [00:15:21] peaks. Historically, most of them are also. [00:16:45] In Kunshan, Suzhou, after continuous days of emergency drainage, the accumulated water in the urban [00:16:49] drainage points has gradually subsided. However, due to the continuous high water level of the external [00:16:53] river network, the accumulated water points in the lake area are still being [00:16:56] drained. [00:16:58] Continuous heavy rain has led to many low-lying road sections in Kunshan City [00:17:02] and some lake areas accumulating water. After two days of emergency [00:17:06] drainage, the accumulated water in many places has receded. For example, the commercial street [00:17:10] in Jinxi Town where I am currently located, the accumulated water on this street [00:17:14] has completely receded. However, there is still some accumulated [00:17:17] water on this small square in the lake area. On the afternoon of the 12th, the reporter [00:17:21] came to Jinxi Ancient Town in Kunshan City. The number of tourists in this originally bustling [00:17:25] scenic area has significantly decreased. Due to continuous rainfall, the water level of Chenmu [00:17:29] Lake in the ancient town rose rapidly . The boardwalk that was previously [00:17:33] open to tourists for sightseeing is still submerged. The lake water [00:17:36] flowed into the lake square [00:18:37] The local government urgently dispatched excavators and drainage equipment to fully clear the field ditches [00:18:41] and drain accumulated water from farmland. In addition, the Shandong Peninsula, Laizhou Bay, [00:18:45] and the Bohai Bay coastal areas also experienced storm surges of 30 to 50 centimeters [00:18:48] . To prevent maritime risks , Rongcheng City has organized [00:18:52] 7,700 fishing boats and 45 fishing boats to return to [00:18:55] port for shelter. At present, all rivers and sluices in Shandong Province [00:18:59] have been opened to ensure smooth flood discharge. In the past [00:19:03] two days, Beijing experienced heavy rainfall, and various departments implemented flood control measures [00:20:09] . After the 13th typhoon "White Dolphin" made landfall , the Financial Regulatory Administration guided [00:20:13] the insurance industry to respond with full force, opening green channels, actively [00:20:17] providing services, paying claims quickly and fairly, and coordinating [00:20:21] with local Party committees, governments, and relevant departments to carry out emergency [00:20:25] relief and insurance claims and other service work. As of 3 p.m. yesterday, [00:20:28] insurance institutions in Zhejiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Henan [00:20:32] provinces received nearly 130,000 reported cases [00:20:36] . The estimated loss is 17 [00:20:55] In the cases investigated by the police , some illegal personnel used AI [00:20:59] tools to create fake audio-visual content, fabricating [00:21:02] dangers to attract attention. For example, netizen Gao [00:21:06] used AI software to generate fake videos to gain [00:21:10] traffic, fabricating false information about a woman [00:21:13] falling from a building during a typhoon and publishing it online. [00:21:17] The police dealt with Gao in accordance with the law [00:22:12] . The police remind that the internet is not a lawless place. For acts of fabricating false information to gain traffic and disrupting typhoon prevention and flood control work , public security organs will strictly [00:22:16] investigate and deal with them in accordance with the law [00:22:21] . Recently, the Pengshan District Branch of the Meishan City Public Security [00:22:25] Bureau, Sichuan Province, investigated a case of fabricating flood rumors using AI [00:22:28] technology. A netizen, for online traffic , used software to generate [00:22:32] fake images of the Pengshan Maohe Ecological Park being flooded [00:22:36] and published them on online platforms , and was punished by public security [00:22:38] organs in accordance with the law [00:22:41] . On July 23, the Pengshan District Branch of the Meishan [00:22:45] City Public Security Bureau discovered during its daily online [00:22:48] patrol work that a certain online [00:23:24] platform, therefore, the online images were completely false. The police immediately launched an investigation and quickly identified the publisher [00:23:28] as a local netizen, Li Mengmeng. At that time, Li Mengmeng [00:23:32] took a picture of the Pengshan Maohe Park with his mobile phone, and then uploaded [00:23:36] it to AI software, and entered keywords such as "flood" [00:23:40] , which generated a fake image of the Pengshan Maohe Park being flooded [00:23:43] and spread it on social media platforms. [00:23:47] To attract attention, he deliberately added [00:23:50] Without any factual basis the local location of Pengshan. He published it on an online [00:23:53] platform, and in the comment section, he actively replied [00:23:57] that the video location was Pengshan Maohe [00:23:58] Park. [00:24:04] , he deliberately marked the local location, actively misled [00:24:07] netizens, and spread disaster rumors on online public platforms [00:24:11] , intending to cause public panic and disrupt online public [00:24:15] order and social stability. Currently, the public security organs have dealt [00:24:19] with Li in accordance with the law [00:24:50] The statement said that Sadr met the commander of the US Central Command [00:24:53] in Baghdad, reaffirming his position . He stated that on October 1st [00:24:57] , Iraq will open a new chapter on the path of national development. At that time, Iraq [00:25:01] will completely get rid of all foreign military presence and exercise complete [00:25:05] national sovereignty over its own territory . The United States launched the Iraq [00:25:09] War in 2003, and basically withdrew its troops at the end of 2011, retaining [00:25:12] a small number of troops. The extremist organization seized large areas of western [00:25:16] and northern Iraq in 2014, and the international coalition subsequently increased troops [00:25:20] in Iraq. In December 2017 [00:25:23] , the Iraqi government announced that it had defeated the extremist organization. Let's look at the Middle East situation again. US President Trump [00:25:26] declared on social media on the 12th that the United States fully controls [00:25:30] the Strait of Hormuz, and that the United States will continue to control the strait. He also [00:25:34] said that Iran now has neither a navy nor an air force, and is helpless [00:25:38] against the US naval blockade. On the same day, the Iranian Persian Gulf [00:25:41] Strait Management Authority stated that the US side repeatedly claimed [00:25:45] that the Strait of Hormuz had reopened , but this could not change the fact [00:25:49] that the Strait of Hormuz was still closed . Unless the United States accepts Iran's [00:25:53] conditions, the strait will not reopen [00:25:56] . Iran News TV reported earlier, citing Reza [00:26:00] Eizadi, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran [00:26:05] , that Iran had conveyed the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz to the United States through intermediaries, including the United States stopping its war and aggression against Iran and its regional [00:26:09] allies, and returning Iran's frozen assets. [00:26:12] Reza Eizadi also emphasized that only if the United States changes its behavior [00:26:16] and accepts Iran's conditions, will the Strait of Hormuz reopen [00:26:20] . This is the first time that Reza Eizadi, the new Secretary of the Supreme National [00:26:24] Security Council of Iran, has publicly expressed his strong foreign policy [00:26:28] stance since taking office. Can Reza Eizadi's statement represent [00:26:31] the voice of Iran's hardline faction ? What are the differences between [00:26:35] the negotiation conditions he proposed and the official demands of Iran [00:26:38] before? Let's look at the expert's interpretation. Reza Eizadi's statement [00:26:42] can indeed represent the voice of Iran's hardline faction. Including Reza Eizadi [00:26:46] , Supreme Leader Khamenei has recently made a series of military and political [00:26:50] appointments. Iran's extreme hardliners have obtained a series of important [00:26:54] positions. As for Reza Eizadi himself , he can be said to be one [00:26:58] of the most influential hardline veteran figures in Iran's security system [00:27:02] . His appointment itself signifies the Supreme Leader's [00:27:05] clear signal of handing over power to hardliners during the crisis [00:27:09] . Looking at Reza Eizadi's recent statement , linking the Strait of Hormuz [00:27:13] with issues such as Gaza and Lebanon , and elevating the opening of the strait [00:27:17] to a global condition that the United States must change its behavior, [00:27:21] is more strategically aggressive than the previous statements from the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs [00:27:25] . Compared with Iran's previous official demands, Reza Eizadi's conditions indeed [00:27:29] continue the framework of June's "one bright spot and one dark road" [00:27:48] However, there are two aspects that have been strengthened: first, it clearly links Iran's agreement on maritime transport with Oman with whether the strait will be opened, blocking the space for so-called technical flexibility to be unilaterally used by the US side . Second, it formally includes [00:27:52] a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon as a prerequisite [00:27:55] condition for the US side , raising the threshold for negotiations [00:27:59] . Overall, it appears that Iran is increasingly [00:28:10] US President Trump subsequently demanded compensation from Iran, requiring Iran [00:28:14] to pay compensation for the deaths of US soldiers over decades. [00:28:18] In response, multiple Iranian embassies abroad have published refutations. The Iranian [00:28:21] Embassy in Tunis listed 19 crimes committed by the United States [00:28:25] against Iran on social media on the 11th, including [00:28:29] the US shooting down of Iran Air Flight 655 on July 3, 1988, and the downing of two Iranian passenger planes on February 28. Over the past century, US actions have directly or indirectly led to the deaths of tens of thousands of people. Who will pay for the atrocities of the United States [00:28:55] ? On the same day, the embassy also posted on its platform that the United States must compensate [00:29:14] for shooting down an Iranian airliner over the Persian Gulf, interfering in Iran's internal affairs, assassinating Iranian leaders and senior officials, etc. The article also sarcastically [00:29:18] said that if the wars launched by the United States against [00:29:22] the peoples of various countries were also included, the list of US [00:29:25] crimes would be even longer. Regarding Trump's statement that Iran [00:29:29] should compensate the families of the victims of the USS Cole incident, [00:29:33] Reuters reported on the 10th that in October 2000, the USS [00:29:37] Cole, a US Navy destroyer, was bombed in a Yemeni port [00:29:41] , killing 17 US military personnel. At that time, [00:29:45] the US Federal Bureau of Investigation attributed the incident to Al-Qaeda [00:29:49] , not Iran. According to Al Jazeera on the 11th, citing Charles [00:29:52] Kupperman, former special assistant to US President Obama, Trump's remarks [00:29:56] demanding compensation from Iran were a joke [00:30:00] . At the same time [00:30:22] , Iran is now holding on tightly, precisely because it wants [00:30:26] to cut off the connection between these two conflicts. We [00:30:30] know that Ukraine itself attacked Iranian ships in the Caspian Sea [00:30:54] . However, despite this, Iran is holding on, demanding compensation. I think [00:30:57] Iran's intentions are very clear , because it wants to ensure [00:31:01] the Caspian Sea. Ensure that these two conflicts [00:31:05] are not cut off by Ukraine's intentions [00:31:09] . So in this case, I think [00:31:12] Iran is holding on , not afraid. Excluding [00:31:15] this, Iran is seizing the corresponding ships [00:31:18] related to Ukraine to punish Ukraine [00:31:22] . On the 12th , CNN reported, citing [00:31:26] informed sources, that on the last day of the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, in July [00:31:30] , there was a threat against the US presidential plane Air Force One [00:31:34] , involving anti-aircraft missiles. US officials then drew up an emergency [00:31:37] plan to arrange for US President Trump to secretly leave Turkey [00:31:41] on another plane. The report said that the informed source did [00:31:45] not disclose the source of the information, but stated that US officials considered the threat [00:31:49] serious. Part of the reason is that the Iranian side seemed to be very clear [00:31:53] about Trump's itinerary in Turkey . US President Trump confirmed [00:31:56] on the 11th that he had secretly changed to a military plane to leave [00:32:00] after attending the Ankara NATO summit. So how did Trump manage to pull off [00:32:04] this elaborate deception with three planes and a catering truck [00:32:06] ? [00:32:10] wha [00:32:16] different plane, uh, equal safety, but they [00:32:20] wanted me to do it, so I do it, I do what they say, why did they want you to do [00:32:24] that? I guess there was a threat out there, I didn't really [00:32:28] ask too much about, I got a lot of threats. According to media reports, at 7:54 pm on July 8th, a catering truck drove up to the side of the old Air Force One at Ankara Airport [00:32:45] . At 8:24 pm , Trump's motorcade arrived [00:32:48] and accelerated towards Air Force One, while [00:32:52] a smaller [00:32:53] C32a [00:32:56] this shot is the best vantage of how the two planes are positioned on the [00:32:59] tarmac, as the motor kit rounds the corner, you can see the two catering [00:33:03] tracks at the side of the jumbo jet lifted up on hydraulics [00:33:07] to doors on the right side of the [00:33:08] plane. A few minutes later, Air Force One entered the [00:33:28] C32A. All the window shades were down, and the deception officially began [00:33:35] . At 8:28 pm, a man in a suit was quickly seen getting off the plane and entering the catering truck [00:33:43] the truck drives away from the bigger plane. across the tarmac and pulls up to [00:33:46] the C-32A. By zooming in, you can see it right there behind the [00:33:50] engines a person in a suit steps out of the cab, walks to the stairs [00:33:54] and gets on board. To allow [00:33:56] the C32A to depart, the US Secretary of State made a special visit to the plane [00:34:02] . Some US officials, including those on the C32A, remained on Air Force One [00:34:10] It does appear as if the individuals on Air Force [00:34:14] 1 itself. were used as a decoy and it does appear that there [00:34:17] is assessment that air force one may have been a [00:34:21] likely target for bad actor. [00:34:24] At 8:44 pm, Air Force One took off. One minute later [00:34:29] , the C32a began to taxi, while the new Air Force One, which had been transferred to Ankara, departed several hours earlier [00:34:37] . In order to pull off the deception, the US military's tail markings were transferred to the radio call sign [00:34:42] normally air force one is the call sign that is used when: the president is on board a [00:34:46] particular aircraft and in this particular case they used to call [00:34:49] sign reach 18 and that [00:34:52] is a common call sign for military aircraft, [00:34:56] us military aircraft, so in this case the [00:34:59] deception [00:35:00] was. [00:35:04] According to flight tracking data, the new Air Force One landed in Mildenhall, UK, at 6:26 pm local time on July 8th. The C32A [00:35:15] landed at 10:20 pm [00:35:15] local time. [00:35:19] The old Air Force One landed around 10:29 pm local time [00:35:24] . It is currently unclear how it transferred from [00:35:27] the C32A to Air Force One after landing [00:35:30] . At 10:56 pm, Air Force One taxied across the tarmac towards the new presidential plane, preparing to fly back to Washington. Some accompanying personnel were confused [00:36:59] In its doctrinal [00:37:02] documents, Japan has listed Russia as the source of major [00:37:05] threats. I would like to note that we [00:37:09] do not threaten Japan. On the contrary, Japan has [00:37:13] territorial claims against our country, [00:37:16] I mean the problem of the Kuril [00:37:18] Islands. However, this is [00:37:21] enshrined in international [00:37:24] documents as real arising. [00:37:31] Next, a commercial break, then News Live will continue [00:38:27] News Live . Events [00:38:31] , society, domestic. We continue to pay attention to heavy rainfall weather. Yesterday, the Beiru [00:38:34] River and Ruzhou section in western Henan experienced water levels exceeding [00:38:38] the alert level, and the water level remained high. What is the current water level [00:38:42] situation? Let's connect to our frontline reporter Wang Tao. Wang Tao, [00:38:46] it seems that the rain has stopped. Please introduce the specific situation on the front line [00:38:48] . [00:38:52] Okay, Hudie. I am now at the Ruzhou section of the Beiru [00:38:56] River. From this morning, [00:38:59] the rain has been intermittent, mainly light rain. The rain gradually stopped before our live broadcast. In fact, this [00:39:03] rain gradually weakened from 2:30 p.m. [00:39:07] yesterday , from heavy [00:39:11] rain to mainly light rain. At 5 p.m. [00:39:14] yesterday, the local meteorological station in Pingdingshan also issued [00:39:18] a yellow rain warning , which has been downgraded to a blue [00:39:22] warning level. From last night to this morning [00:39:26] . [00:39:33] The rainfall has been intermittent, mainly light rain, and not very heavy. The Beiru River is an upstream tributary of the Shahe River [00:39:37] , and the Shahe River is a first-level tributary of the Huaihe River. The water [00:39:41] eventually flows into the Huaihe River in southeastern Henan. Therefore, if [00:39:44] the Beiru River continues to operate at a high level, it will inevitably put a lot of pressure [00:39:48] on the downstream. Yesterday , the Beiru River experienced [00:39:52] a water level exceeding the alert level, specifically [00:39:55] in the Ruzhou section. At 1 p.m. yesterday [00:40:54] . So, since the water level exceeded the alert level yesterday , it has been gradually [00:40:58] decreasing. However, the local area is also on high alert [00:41:02] . You can see that there are many patrol personnel along the river [00:41:06] who are guarding here, on the one hand, to remind the public not to approach [00:41:10] the river water to avoid danger. On the other hand, they are [00:41:14] checking whether there are any pipe gushing [00:41:17] or bank collapse situations on the low bank [00:41:21] . Looking at the situation across the province, in the past three [00:41:24] days, the three cities with the largest rainfall [00:41:28] in Henan Province are Xuchang, ranking [00:41:32] first, with a total of 302 millimeters on average [00:41:35] . Pingdingshan, where I am located, ranks second, with a total [00:41:38] average rainfall of [00:43:10] From tomorrow, the high temperature in South China will also significantly decrease. However, in the Sichuan [00:43:14] Basin, Xinjiang, and western Gansu, high temperatures will still occur. [00:43:18] In cities like Taiyuan, the maximum temperature will be above 30 [00:43:21] degrees for the next two days, and 29 degrees the day after tomorrow. Guangzhou will have high temperatures today, but [00:43:25] tomorrow the high temperature will temporarily recede. The day after tomorrow, high temperatures [00:43:29] will return. Chongqing will experience high temperatures [00:43:33] for the next three days [00:43:33] . [00:44:11] According to Colombian media reports on the 12th , Colombia declared three days [00:44:15] of national mourning for the earthquake victims . Local [00:44:19] time on the 12th, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that the US's recent adjustment [00:44:23] of its childhood vaccination program lacked scientific [00:44:27] basis. He warned that delaying or splitting [00:44:31] vaccinations could expose children to infectious diseases for a longer [00:44:34] time. Previously, US President Trump signed an executive order requiring [00:44:38] a reduction in the number of childhood vaccinations [00:44:57] . A large number of people were forced to evacuate. Due to the severity of the fire, you can see that the highway behind me has [00:45:01] been closed. So far, 20,000 local [00:45:04] residents have been evacuated, which is one of the largest evacuation [00:45:08] operations in the area in recent years. It [00:45:10] grew [00:45:13] immensely in 2 hours, [00:45:16] it turned from a ploom of smoke to we [00:45:20] need to get out. Um, I'm driving down Garnet [00:45:24] Valley, and there is nothing but police [00:45:27] and fire trucks and EMTs. We we assume our [00:45:31] property is fine, but we nothing is [00:45:34] for sure, and this event is far from over. What's [00:45:38] your concern or... [00:46:10] may reach 10 to 15 billion euros. Currently, due to the extreme [00:46:14] high temperatures this year, which have not yet ended , the final losses are still difficult [00:46:18] to accurately estimate. Barbi warned that if France does not further adjust its public [00:46:22] policies and strengthen its ability to adapt to climate change, related economic [00:46:25] costs will continue to rise in the future. Barbi also stated that currently, all [00:46:29] regions in France have areas reaching drought crisis levels, and all regions [00:46:33] have adopted different degrees of water restriction measures [00:46:35] . Affected by continuous high temperatures and drought [00:46:40] , the water level of the Danube River, Europe's second largest river, [00:46:44] has significantly dropped recently. Near Prahovo in eastern Serbia, the wreckage [00:46:48] of multiple Nazi German warships from World War II, which were previously submerged [00:46:51] at the bottom of the river, has re-emerged . This special wartime [00:46:55] history has once again come into public view [00:46:59] . In normal years , the position where I am currently standing [00:47:03] should have been a river channel covered by water. However, due to continuous [00:47:06] high temperatures and drought, this has become an exposed [00:47:10] sandbar. Along with the sandbar , several German warships [00:47:14] from World War II have also appeared . With the historical drop [00:47:18] in the water level of the Danube, they have reappeared decades later [00:47:22] . Behind these shipwrecks is a story [00:47:52] in some situations it was even 750, over [00:47:56] 700, this is the lowest [00:47:58] level of the Danube that I remember, so [00:48:02] all of this has surfaced [00:48:04] . [00:48:09] This year's low water level in the Danube due to high temperatures and drought has affected shipping, power, and agriculture [00:48:18] . For the residents of Prahovo, the re-emerged [00:49:06] From Morocco, illegal immigrants enter Ceuta, a Spanish enclave. Ceuta is located on the Mediterranean coast near the Strait of Gibraltar in northwestern Africa, bordering Morocco. Recently, a large number of illegal immigrants entered Ceuta from Morocco , triggering Spain's most serious [00:49:10] border migration crisis in recent years [00:49:14] . [00:49:16] 。 [00:49:22] You are watching News Live [00:49:26] . [00:49:28] The State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences today [00:49:32] on the theme of "Starting a New Journey in 15 Years". Huang Qiu, Minister of Ecology and Environment, [00:49:36] introduced that in the first seven months of this year, the national average concentration of PM [00:49:40] 2.5 decreased by 1.8 micrograms per cubic meter year-on-year, [00:49:43] a decrease of 6.2%. The proportion of days with good air quality increased [00:49:47] by 3.9 percentage points year-on-year. The proportion of surface water quality of Class I to III [00:49:51] reached 86.5% year-on-year [00:50:52] . To evaluate the academic level of journals, getting rid of the widespread [00:50:56] reliance on foreign citation indicators such as scientific citation [00:51:00] indexes, and guiding journals to return to their academic essence. The state [00:51:04] attaches great importance to the construction of journals. When China's scientific and technological [00:51:07] contributions are gradually becoming the world's largest country in terms of published [00:51:11] articles, having a vehicle for publishing articles and scientific research discourse [00:51:15] power is important. Where are the articles published? Who curates them? Where is the [00:51:19] database? This is very important . This is about discourse power [00:51:23] . We say that the core of AI is computing power, and the core of computing [00:51:26] power is electricity. Both electricity and computing power rely on tangible [00:51:30] metals to be realized. The latest data released today by the China Nonferrous [00:51:34] Metals Industry Association shows that in the first half of this year, the profit [00:51:37] of China's nonferrous metals industry increased by 94%, which is mainly [00:51:41] driven by AI demand. These metals also have a common name: [00:51:45] computing power metals. So what exactly are computing power metals [00:51:49] , and how do they support AI computing power? Let's explore this hard [00:51:53] technology. Computing power metals can be divided into two major categories [00:51:55] . [00:52:05] To help machines dissipate heat, like copper. A most common server only uses a few [00:52:09] kilograms of copper, while a super server specifically for training AI [00:52:13] , because it needs to process a massive amount of data, uses as much as 15 to [00:52:17] 30 kilograms of copper, which is three to six times that of the former. So [00:52:21] some organizations predict that by 2028, the global data [00:52:24] center will need 1.3 million tons of copper, which is double [00:52:27] that of 2026. In the past, copper prices looked at real estate [00:52:31] and machinery. Now, they look at AI and [00:52:35] new energy. The second category is trace elements that supplement [00:52:37] computing power , such as germanium, [00:52:41] etc. The names of these metals may sound unfamiliar and their usage is far less than copper and [00:52:45] aluminum, but without them, AI would be paralyzed. For example, silicon [00:52:49] is responsible for firmly fixing chips to circuit boards. The more advanced [00:52:53] the packaging technology, the more indispensable it is. Gallium [00:52:57] is the core of optical communication and power management modules, ensuring that data [00:53:00] can be transmitted by light beams and power can be stably supplied. [00:53:04] Tantalum and niobium-related materials [00:53:19] are used for hard drives. It is precisely because of the demand for AI that the prices of these metals have risen sharply. In half a year, prices have risen by 40%, then 60%, and tantalum has soared by 158% [00:53:26] . Rising prices have tested the computing power sector, and also brought new challenges to the application of hardware construction [00:53:34] . The development of artificial intelligence should not only be limited to large-scale software breakthroughs, but also the long-term development of the entire industry [00:54:02] Therefore, the future of artificial [00:54:39] intelligence This year's International Youth Day focuses on the theme of "Diverse [00:54:43] Environment, Common Quality", reflecting youth's common pursuit of [00:54:47] dignity, opportunities, participation , and a sustainable future. In the [00:54:51] dialogue, all parties expressed a positive desire to promote [00:54:55] youth common development and united To solve the problem of global youth development, [00:54:59] we must rely on international exchanges UN related data shows that globally, [00:55:02] . [00:55:54] As China's international influence continues to grow, more and more foreign youth are no longer limited to fragmented information on the Internet, but choose to visit in person, short-term study tours, long-term work, and other ways to immerse themselves in [00:55:57] observing China, experiencing The journey is becoming more and more [00:56:01] vivid and profound. [00:56:09] Young people from all over the world understand China's development as the main goal, and witness China's endless innovation achievements. [00:56:13] They yearn to participate in it.
