[00:00:38] Hello, everyone, this is CCTV News Channel at 4 a.m.
[00:00:42] Welcome to this news live broadcast. At
[00:00:46] about 3:30 on the 26th, a landslide disaster occurred in Nepal
[00:00:50] , causing a major loss of life and property in Jilong County, Xigaze City, Tibet
[00:00:54] . After the disaster, the fire department
[00:00:57] and other departments quickly deployed .
[00:01:21] Currently, the reporting team of China Media Group has arrived in Jilong Town. Let's look at the report sent back by reporter Xiao Yue a little earlier. I
[00:01:25] am currently at a temporary shelter in Jilong Town
[00:01:29] . It is
[00:03:00] already getting dark. At the same time, what we have learned
[00:03:04] is that the road from Jilong County to Jilong Port
[00:03:07] is temporarily closed
[00:03:11] .
[00:03:13] After the disaster, the fire department and other departments quickly deployed
[00:03:17] rescue forces to the affected areas to carry out rescue work
[00:03:20] .
[00:03:23] So, after the disaster occurred, all rescue forces rushed
[00:03:27] to the disaster area as soon as possible . First of all,
[00:04:24] currently, the reporter team of Xigaze Military Sub-district in Tibet has arrived in Jilong Town. Let's look at the report sent back
[00:04:28] a little earlier. I arrived in Jilong Town at 12 a.m. tonight. It is understood that immediately after the disaster, the Xigaze Military Sub-district in Tibet and the Jilong Border
[00:04:39] Defense Detachment have sent relevant reconnaissance forces to the scene
[00:04:43] to search and investigate the situation at the scene
[00:04:47] . Then, the images from the scene were sent
[00:04:50] back to the rear command post to provide favorable support
[00:04:54] for subsequent rescue operations . The distance from
[00:04:58] Xigaze City to Jilong Town
[00:05:12] is about. I found that the police forces of Xigaze City have all been dispatched
[00:05:16] to implement traffic control on the roads.
[00:05:20] Except for rescue forces, all social vehicles and tourists
[00:05:23] are prohibited from passing. At this time, the difficulty of rescue
[00:05:27] is that the disaster area is located in a high mountain valley with dense forests
[00:05:31] , and it is also a high-incidence area for natural disasters
[00:05:35] such as earthquakes, mudslides, and landslides. There are continuous
[00:05:38] light rains, and rocks keep falling from the mountains, posing great
[00:05:43] difficulties to rescue efforts. Currently, due to road problems,
[00:05:47] we can only dispatch some forces to the front line for rescue. Our
[00:05:50] Xigaze Military Sub-district Border Defense Regiment has dispatched rescue forces to
[00:05:54] the scene, including excavators , shovels,
[00:05:58] and some related living supplies. Tonight,
[00:06:01] whether it is the forward rescue team or the reserve
[00:06:05] team, all our officers and soldiers will have a sleepless night.
[00:06:09] All of us are on standby 24 hours a day, waiting for the subsequent road
[00:08:12] situation. So, the roads leading in and out
[00:08:16] must strictly prevent landslides and even falling rocks
[00:08:19] . Let's look at other news
[00:08:23] . The State Council Information Office held a series of 155
[00:08:27] themed press conferences on the 26th. Relevant
[00:08:31] officials from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology stated that during the 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will implement
[00:08:34] a series of special actions to accelerate the construction of a modern industrial system
[00:08:38] with advanced manufacturing as its backbone, and promote a strong manufacturing and network country.
[00:09:12] Integrated circuits, aerospace, biotechnology, medicine and other emerging
[00:09:16] pillar industries. By 2035, we will cultivate about 100
[00:09:20] emerging industrial development demonstration parks and about 1,000
[00:09:23] demonstration enterprises, and promote quantum technology, brain-computer interfaces,
[00:09:27] and embodied intelligence and other future industries to become
[00:09:31] new economic growth points . We will focus on strengthening
[00:09:34] industrial innovation and building and utilizing national manufacturing
[00:09:38] innovation centers, manufacturing platforms, and other carriers. We need to
[00:09:42] deepen the promotion of artificial intelligence and manufacturing special actions, and
[00:09:46] accelerate the widespread application of a new generation of information technology
[00:09:50] in all aspects and throughout the entire chain. Since the beginning of this year, China's artificial intelligence industry
[00:09:53] has been vibrant and full of highlights. From the perspective of infrastructure,
[00:09:57] more than 70 computing power channels have been built around computing power.
[00:10:01] From the perspective of applications, artificial intelligence has basically
[00:10:05] penetrated the entire chain of research and development, design, production, manufacturing, and operation
[00:10:09] . From the perspective of governance, nearly 200 key artificial intelligence standards
[00:10:25] have been formed. For multiple key areas, a series of targeted policies
[00:10:28] will be intensively released recently, including the 15th Five-Year Plan
[00:10:32] for the development of intelligent connected new energy vehicles and the 15th Five-Year Plan
[00:10:36] for promoting the development of small and medium-sized enterprises. In terms of information and communication
[00:10:40] industry, 6G will be the top priority during the 15th Five-Year Plan period,
[00:10:44] accelerating core technology breakthroughs, technical trials, and standard development
[00:10:48] to prepare for 6G commercialization .
[00:10:51] From the 25th to the 26th , Industrial and Commercial Bank of China,
[00:10:55] Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications,
[00:10:58] and Postal Savings Bank of China, the six major commercial banks, successively issued announcements
[00:11:02] . According to the latest notice from the Ministry of Finance and other departments,
[00:11:06] they have started to expand the scope of interest subsidy policies
[00:11:10] for loans to small and medium-sized micro enterprises and service industry operating entities
[00:11:13] and increase the amount of interest subsidy. In terms of the scope of interest subsidy,
[00:11:16] the six banks clarified that for eligible
[00:11:20] working capital loans of small and medium-sized micro private enterprises
[00:11:24] issued since August 1, 2026, the central finance will provide
[00:11:27] interest subsidy for the principal of the working capital loan and
[00:11:31] an annualized one percentage point for a period not exceeding two years.
[00:11:35] Previously, the financial interest subsidy for small and medium-sized micro private
[00:11:39] enterprises mainly covered fixed asset loans. This is the first
[00:11:43] time that the scope of interest subsidy has been expanded to working
[00:11:47] capital loans. In terms of the amount of interest subsidy, the six banks
[00:11:50] clarified that the upper limit of the loan scale
[00:11:54] for small and medium-sized micro enterprise
[00:12:21] loans that a single enterprise can enjoy in a single bank for
[00:12:25] loans to small and medium-sized enterprises and service industry operating entities
[00:12:29] that have been processed from August 1st to before the bank's
[00:12:32] announcement, the bank will directly submit the businesses that meet
[00:12:35] the interest subsidy conditions
[00:12:43] to the relevant government departments
[00:12:44] for review, without requiring
[00:12:47] any operation from the enterprise. You are watching the news live
[00:12:51] broadcast. According to Iran's Student News Agency on the 26th,
[00:12:55] Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said at a meeting in Tehran
[00:12:59] that the new round of economic sanctions by the United
[00:13:02] States would be in vain. Raisi said that since
[00:13:06] the Iranian government has taken measures, the economic pressure
[00:13:10] imposed by the United States at this stage will not achieve
[00:13:14] any results, just as it failed to achieve any results
[00:13:18] in the war. Due to the stalled negotiations with Iran,
[00:13:22] US President Trump announced on the 19th that he
[00:13:26] would impose devastating economic actions against Iran. US
[00:13:30] Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin held a press conference on
[00:13:33] the 24th, announcing that the United States would launch a
[00:13:37] new round of sanctions to isolate Iran economically.
[00:13:41] According to the US Axios news website
[00:13:45] on the 25th, citing US officials and sources, US
[00:13:49] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently told several foreign
[00:13:53] ministers of US allies that
[00:14:05] the United States expects not to launch new strikes against Iran for the time
[00:14:09] being, and the current focus has shifted to other
[00:14:13] pressure tactics, including economic sanctions. US officials stated
[00:14:16] that although Pompeo clearly indicated that the United States
[00:14:20] does not intend to return to large-scale military operations,
[00:14:24] he did not rule out the possibility
[00:14:36] of retaliation if Iran initiates an attack first. This
[00:14:40] policy is expected to last at least until after the
[00:14:43] midterm elections, when a new situation may emerge. This
[00:14:47] pressure may prompt Iran to return to the negotiating
[00:14:51] table. US President Trump said on social media
[00:16:07] on the 25th that the US Navy informed him that all mines
[00:16:11] in the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz have been cleared
[00:16:15] or detonated. Trump said that Iran has been
[00:16:19] notified that any ship laying new mines
[00:16:22] will be regarded as an act of
[00:16:26] war. So, the situation has entered a
[00:16:30] stalemate phase where economic warfare is dominant
[00:16:34] and military deterrence is at the bottom.
[00:16:38] The US has suspended air strikes but maintained
[00:16:42] a naval blockade. Iran will not easily give
[00:16:45] up control of the Strait of Hormuz.
[00:16:49] Both sides are consuming each other's strength. In
[00:16:53] the medium term, the direction of the situation
[00:16:57] will depend even more highly on the internal
[00:17:00] politics of the relevant countries. If the
[00:17:04] internal politics of the relevant countries are stable,
[00:17:08] then this model of economic warfare may be
[00:17:11] maintained. However, whether it is Iran or
[00:17:15] the United States, once unexpected factors appear
[00:17:19] in domestic disagreements, they may restart military
[00:17:23] options to divert conflicts. It is
[00:17:27] worth noting that the regional independent security
[00:17:31] architecture is accelerating its reconstruction. The signing
[00:17:35] of the collective defense agreement is the most vivid example.
[00:17:45] Regional countries are reducing their reliance on the US
[00:17:49] security system. Independent arrangements are replacing
[00:17:53] external arrangements. This process, whether the US
[00:17:56] and Iran reach an agreement or not,
[00:18:00] is irreversible. US President Trump confirmed
[00:18:04] on the 26th in an interview with
[00:18:07] a radio program that US Central Intelligence Agency
[00:18:11] Director Mike Ratcliffe recently visited Russia and said the visit might
[00:18:15] yield some results, but did not
[00:18:20] elaborate further. Trump said Ratcliffe's visit was
[00:18:24] semi-routine. He then hinted that Ratcliffe's visit
[00:18:28] was related to the Russia-Ukraine war, saying
[00:18:31] "we are working to bring the war to an end,
[00:18:35] and both sides want to see the war end."
[00:18:44] US-Canada trade negotiations recently failed to reach
[00:18:47] an agreement, and the trade dispute between the
[00:18:51] two sides continues. On the 25th, the Canadian
[00:18:55] government announced that it would impose tariffs on
[00:18:59] US goods worth 200 .
[00:19:03] Canadian Minister of Finance Bill Morneau said on
[00:19:07] the 25th that the total value of US
[00:19:11] goods affected by the retaliatory tariffs is equivalent
[00:19:14] to the 50% tariffs imposed by the US
[00:19:18] on Canadian goods, achieving an equivalent and reciprocal
[00:19:22] retaliation. The Canadian retaliatory tariff measures
[00:19:25] will officially take effect on September 8th.
[00:19:29] According to the list of retaliatory tariffs
[00:19:32] announced by the Canadian
[00:19:34] Ministry of Finance, the retaliatory tariffs mainly
[00:19:38] focus on steel, dairy products, home appliances, and agricultural
[00:20:25] equipment. Among them, most of the tariffs on
[00:20:28] steel products imported from the US will be
[00:20:32] increased from 25% to 50%, while
[00:20:36] dairy products such as cheese and seafood
[00:20:40] will be subject to a 25% tariff.
[00:20:44] In addition to retaliatory tariffs, the Canadian government
[00:20:47] also announced a total package of
[00:20:51] 200 million Canadian dollars to provide investment and
[00:20:55] liquidity support to enterprises. In terms of labor
[00:20:59] protection, the government will help enterprises avoid layoffs,
[00:21:02] allow more employees to improve their skills or
[00:21:06] receive training, and increase the flexibility of unemployment
[00:21:10] insurance benefits. US-Canada trade negotiations recently
[00:21:13] failed to reach an agreement. Canadian Prime
[00:21:17] Minister Justin Trudeau fully articulated his position
[00:21:36] on the breakdown of US-Canada trade negotiations on August 22nd, and announced that
[00:21:40] due to the US imposing a 50% tariff on
[00:21:44] 20 billion US dollars worth of Canadian goods,
[00:21:48] Canada's equivalent retaliatory
[00:21:50] tariff plan will officially take effect on September
[00:21:54] 8th. US President Trump wrote on social media
[00:21:58] on August 24th that tariffs on Canadian cars,
[00:22:01] auto parts, and steel products will be increased
[00:22:05] to 50% from January 1, 2027.
[00:22:09] This trade war between the US and
[00:22:13] Canada has sparked opposition from bipartisan politicians
[00:22:16] and the US media. However, the Trump
[00:22:31] administration's actions this year have weakened
[00:22:34] the persuasiveness of this
[00:23:10] argument. The Washington Post published an
[00:23:14] editorial on the 25th stating that in
[00:23:18] the escalating trade
[00:23:22] war, both Americans and Canadians are losers.
[00:23:26] The article said that with only
[00:23:30] over two months left until the US
[00:23:34] congressional midterm elections, the trade war with
[00:23:37] Canada could cost the Republican Party dearly
[00:23:41] in key states such as Maine,
[00:23:45] Michigan, and Ohio in the midterm
[00:23:48] elections. American
[00:23:50] businessman Michael Jordan,
[00:23:59] owner of the Los
[00:24:11] Angeles Lakers, is
[00:24:22] facing financial regulatory turmoil. Jordan recently
[00:24:26] sold the Lakers, which he had
[00:24:30] just acquired a
[00:24:32] controlling stake in
[00:24:37] last year, for an estimated $1.25
[00:24:41] billion, raising concerns
[00:24:43] about his financial situation. According to
[00:24:47] a recent report by the Wall Street
[00:25:35] Journal, the US federal prosecution
[00:25:39] agency and the US Securities and
[00:25:43] Exchange Commission are investigating whether Jordan
[00:25:47] and his companies made billions of
[00:26:12] dollars in loans to the insurance
[00:26:16] companies he controlled by concealing financial
[00:26:20] connections between companies, thereby conducting.
[00:26:24] After an internal review, about 21
[00:26:28] billion US dollars of private equity
[00:26:31] assets, previously
[00:26:32] listed as unrelated investments,
[00:26:36] were re-identified as related investments
[00:26:40] . Taking Delaware Life Insurance as
[00:26:44] an example, its proportion of related
[00:26:46] investments increased from the previously
[00:26:50] reported. The Los Angeles Times quoted
[00:26:54] a former state insurance regulator as
[00:26:58] saying that because insurance companies hold
[00:27:01] the funds that policyholders
[00:27:32] will use for compensation and pension
[00:27:35] security in the future, if these
[00:27:39] funds are largely invested in companies
[00:27:42] related to the insurance company's owner,
[00:27:46] once problems arise with related investments,
[00:27:50] it may affect the long-term solvency of
[00:27:53] the insurance company and ultimately harm
[00:27:57] the interests of ordinary policyholders. Faced
[00:28:01] with regulatory pressure, TW Global, Jordan's
[00:28:05] controlling company, recently announced that Delaware
[00:28:09] Life Insurance will reclassify $6.5 billion
[00:28:13] of related investments as non-related assets
[00:28:16] . Reuters reported that the company
[00:28:19] is reducing its
[00:28:21] financial ties with other entities. The
[00:28:25] US federal investigation will continue to
[00:28:29] probe the company's related investments and
[00:29:04] adjustments to sports
[00:29:08] assets such as the Lakers have
[00:29:12] further impacted his vast business empire
[00:29:15] during this financial regulatory turmoil.
[00:29:19] You are currently watching the news
[00:29:23] live broadcast. This year's 18th
[00:29:27] typhoon, "Shadel", is currently approaching
[00:29:30] our country's coastal
[00:29:57] areas. We must do a good
[00:30:01] job in all flood prevention preparations.
[00:30:05] In recent days, multiple reservoirs in
[00:30:08] Fenghua District, Yinzhou District, Xiangshan County,
[00:30:12] and Ninghai County of Ningbo City
[00:30:16] have orderly discharged water to make
[00:30:20] room for subsequent heavy rainfall. Reporters
[00:30:24] learned from the Ningbo Water Bureau
[00:30:28] that as of 133,
[00:30:32] to ensure the safe operation of
[00:30:36] the reservoir. All work has stopped,
[00:30:40] and all coastal scenic areas have
[00:30:44] been closed. According to flood prevention
[00:30:48] departments, during this typhoon,
[00:30:51] there will be astronomical tides
[00:30:54] and extreme weather such as strong
[00:30:58] winds, huge waves, and heavy rains.
[00:31:24] Citizens and tourists are reminded to
[00:31:28] pay attention to the weather forecast,
[00:31:32] stay away from dangerous coastal areas
[00:31:35] such as wharves, river banks, and
[00:31:39] dykes, and never watch the tide
[00:31:43] or fight the
[00:31:46] current, and pay attention to personal
[00:31:50] safety. Currently, typhoon Shadel has entered
[00:31:53] the 24-hour warning line. Fu'an City
[00:31:57] is located on the northeast coast
[00:32:01] of Fujian. According to Fujian Province's
[00:32:05] typhoon prevention requirements, all personnel on
[00:32:09] offshore fish farms have been evacuated.
[00:32:13] Xihou Town, Fu'an
[00:32:37] City, Fujian, has 6,670 net
[00:32:41] cages for seawater aquaculture in Xipi
[00:33:33] Village, making it a key seawater aquaculture base in Fu'an. There are many people engaged in offshore aquaculture in the village, and the offshore aquaculture facilities are large, so typhoon prevention is very important.
