At 5 p.m., the news [00:00:41] live broadcast will continue to bring you the news . The Ministry of Commerce held a regular [00:00:45] press conference today. The spokesperson and Yadong, when answering questions about the latest progress in the [00:00:49] US-China 30 billion US dollar mutual tariff reduction arrangement and negotiations, stated [00:00:53] that currently, the economic and trade teams of China and the US [00:00:57] are maintaining close communication on relevant issues. [00:01:03] Subsequent progress will be released as facts. Recently, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered her 2026 State of the Union address, making statements such as the so-called "China Shock 2.0." [00:01:07] In response, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce made a statement at today's [00:01:11] regular press conference . [00:01:15] 做 出 回 应 。 [00:01:18] China has noted the relevant situation. Here, I would like to [00:01:22] emphasize that China's position and attitude are [00:01:26] consistent and clear. [00:01:51] China has noted the European Commission's release of the legislative draft for the Public Procurement Law. This draft includes "European preference clauses" [00:01:55] and also requires the inclusion of non-security factors [00:01:59] in evaluation standards, [00:02:01] excluding or restricting third-country enterprises that do not meet the conditions. [00:02:05] China is highly concerned about [00:02:08] this. Since the beginning of this year, the EU has continuously [00:02:12] introduced revisions to the Cybersecurity Law, the Industrial Acceleration Act, [00:02:16] and the Public Procurement Act. Under the guise of [00:02:20] cybersecurity and industrial development, it has frequently [00:02:23] set up discriminatory clauses and continuously tightened [00:02:27] market access conditions. [00:02:33] China urges the European side to abide by [00:02:36] WTO rules, maintain market openness, [00:02:39] revise discriminatory clauses [00:02:43] in its legislation, and create a fair, transparent, and non-discriminatory [00:02:47] business environment for enterprises [00:02:50] investing and operating in Europe . China will [00:02:54] closely follow the EU's legislative process and promptly assess [00:02:58] the relevant impact. [00:03:01] At today's press conference, spokesperson He Yadong stated that China attaches great [00:03:05] importance to economic and trade cooperation with BRICS countries and will actively [00:03:09] promote BRICS economic and trade cooperation to achieve more tangible results [00:03:13] . [00:03:15] According to reports, so far, BRICS economic and trade ministers' meetings have been held [00:03:19] 16 times, with more than 60 outcome documents reached on trade [00:03:23] and investment facilitation, support for multilateral trading systems, standard cooperation, supply [00:03:27] chains, digital economy, green development, etc. The Ministry of Commerce [00:03:30] will actively prepare for next year's [00:03:34] major events in the economic and trade field, successfully host the BRICS [00:03:37] Service Trade Forum, cultivate new growth [00:03:41] points for economic and trade cooperation, empower BRICS [00:03:45] special economic zones, and the China Cooperation Center. Efforts will also be made to [00:03:48] promote the achievement of more results in areas such as the digital economy, [00:03:52] artificial intelligence, green development, and [00:03:56] so on. BRICS. [00:04:03] Great development. Recently, the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters, together with the China Mining Association, the China Iron and Steel Association, and nearly 30 industry enterprises, jointly launched the [00:04:07] "Mineral Resources Foreign Cooperation Sustainable Development Self-Discipline Initiative." In response, the spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce [00:04:10] expressed appreciation and support [00:04:14] for this initiative at the regular press conference today [00:04:18] . [00:04:22] We appreciate this initiative. [00:04:25] 我 们 赞 赏 这 个 畅 议 [00:04:27] 。 [00:04:29] promote [00:04:55] At today's regular press conference of the Ministry of Commerce, the news [00:04:59] . [00:05:30] Support identification and strengthen safety protection, so that elderly groups can better enjoy the convenience of life brought by technological progress. Unblock channels for household appliance recycling, [00:05:34] extend household appliance renewal services to residents' doorsteps, [00:05:38] thereby opening up the last mile of smart home consumption [00:05:41] . [00:05:48] You are watching News Live. [00:06:11] released on the 17th. [00:06:23] Among the newly appointed cabinet members, House of Representatives members Liang Heshun and Guan [00:06:27] Fanghong were disciplined by the party due to the LDP's "black money scandal." This time, they were appointed [00:06:30] Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries and Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, [00:06:34] respectively. This is the first time that members disciplined by the party [00:06:38] due to the "black money scandal" have been appointed to the cabinet since the scandal came to light. [00:06:42] Former Secretary-General of the Japan Innovation Party, Ichiro Matsui, was appointed [00:06:46] Minister for Regulatory Reform. This is also the first time a Japan Innovation Party member has joined the cabinet, [00:06:50] marking a shift from external cooperation to [00:06:54] internal cooperation between the LDP and the Japan Innovation Party. Another focus of this reshuffle is that former [00:06:58] Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, Lin Fangzheng, was not appointed to the cabinet. [00:07:02] Lin Fangzheng was a competitor of Prime Minister Kishida in last year's LDP presidential election. [00:07:06] Analysts believe that this personnel arrangement, on the one hand, [00:07:09] indicates that Kishida will continue to promote his established policies. [00:07:17] On the other hand, Kishida's cabinet reshuffle also aims to consolidate his [00:07:21] political base and seek re-election in the LDP presidential election next [00:07:24] autumn. According to the reshuffle process, [00:07:28] after the cabinet members' certification ceremony was held this afternoon, the new cabinet was officially [00:07:32] formed. For more information about Japanese Prime Minister Kishida's cabinet reshuffle [00:07:36] today, let's hear the report from CCTV reporter Li Weibing [00:07:40] an hour ago. [00:07:44] On the 17th, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida carried out his first cabinet reshuffle [00:07:48] since taking office in October 2025. Among the 18 cabinet members, [00:07:51] there are a total of ten new and first-time appointees, accounting for more than half. [00:07:55] However, some core key positions, such as Chief Cabinet [00:07:59] Secretary Matsuno Hirokazu, Foreign Minister Motegi Toshimitsu, Finance Minister [00:08:03] Suzuki Shunichi, and Defense Minister Kishi Nobuo, all remain [00:08:06] in their posts. Some analysts believe that this reflects Kishida's desire, on the one hand, [00:08:10] to increase new faces. [00:09:12] external cooperation model. Some analysts point out that since the Japan Innovation Party [00:09:16] joined the LDP government, it has only cooperated with the LDP in parliamentary voting and policy. [00:09:20] It has not sent members to the cabinet, reserving room and space [00:09:24] for flexibility. This time, Kishida strongly pushed for the Innovation Party to join the cabinet, [00:09:28] intending to completely bind the Innovation Party, which also has a right-wing [00:09:31] leaning, to himself, thereby further consolidating his right-wing political base and [00:09:35] establishing his push for various right-wing conservative policies. Although the Japan [00:09:39] Innovation Party has differences with the LDP in terms of local reform, administrative streamlining, tax system adjustments, [00:09:43] and other domestic policies, it highly aligns with the LDP [00:09:47] on security, defense, and foreign policy. It even holds more hawkish views than the LDP [00:09:51] on issues such as amending Article 9 of Japan's pacifist constitution, enhancing Japan's offensive capabilities, [00:09:54] revising the Three Principles on Arms Exports, and expanding arms exports. It can be expected that after the Innovation Party [00:09:58] joins the cabinet, the right-wing conservative trend in Japanese politics will become [00:10:02] even more apparent. Japanese Prime Minister [00:10:06] Kishida reshuffled his cabinet today, and former Secretary-General of the Japan Innovation Party, [00:10:10] Ichiro Matsui, is confirmed to join the cabinet. [00:10:34] After subsequent splits and reorganizations, it officially resumed the name [00:10:38] "Japan Innovation Party" in 2016 and has retained it to this day. [00:10:41] In October 2025, the Japan Innovation Party for the first time [00:10:45] formed a ruling coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party, adopting an external cooperation model [00:10:48] to participate in governance, meaning it did not send members to the cabinet, only [00:10:52] supporting the LDP in policy and parliamentary operations . [00:10:57] The Japan Innovation Party's core propositions are constitutional amendment, military expansion, breaking [00:11:01] centralized power, and promoting the "Osaka Metropolis Plan." The party [00:11:04] advocates amending Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, strengthening the status of the Japan [00:11:08] Self-Defense Forces, and increasing defense spending to enhance so-called [00:11:12] defense capabilities, even breaking through the Three Principles on Arms Exports. [00:11:16] In its proposal on amending the three security documents submitted to the government in June this year, [00:11:20] the Innovation Party openly advocated introducing nuclear power [00:11:24] . [00:11:30] The party also advocates strengthening the Japan-US alliance. This time, Kishida's cabinet reshuffle has seen the Innovation Party shift from previous external cooperation [00:11:34] to internal cooperation. In the future, the Innovation Party's [00:11:37] policy positions on constitutional amendment, security guarantees, etc., and their influence on the Japanese [00:11:41] government's related policies are worth noting. [00:11:44] The Japanese government recently finalized its tax reform [00:11:48] outline. This is the first time Japan has implemented a consumption tax cut [00:11:52] since the consumption tax was introduced in 1989. Japanese economist, Professor [00:11:56] Kobayashi Akira of Meiji University's School of Economics, stated that Kishida's cabinet's economic policies [00:11:59] may further increase the burden on the public [00:12:03] . [00:12:06] Kobayashi Akira stated that the consumption tax is an important long-established financial [00:12:10] source in Japan, used to support public services such as social [00:12:14] welfare. Carelessly proposing tax cuts now may further affect [00:12:18] Japan's fiscal revenue and the stability of its social security system [00:12:21] . [00:12:25] It's something we've been working on for many years, and we've managed to achieve things like improving social welfare [00:12:28] and other goals. It's been a struggle to get this far, [00:12:32] but now, to simply [00:12:36] reduce taxes like that. [00:12:39] 、 原税 と いう 形 で 。 [00:12:55] Rather than that, it's about peace, isn't it? Security [00:12:58] through building peace. Japan has always proclaimed itself a pacifist nation, [00:13:02] and the constitution is a promise [00:13:06] made by the government to its people. Therefore, instead of military budgets, [00:13:10] the budget should be used for building peace. [00:13:13] The safety of the people's lives should also be secured through [00:13:17] that, not through military budgets. [00:13:21] 安全 と いう の も え そう いっ た です ね 軍事 予算 に 回す と [00:14:03] Private demand orders, which are leading indicators of private equipment investment, excluding shipping and electricity, amounted to [00:14:06] 101.6 billion yen, [00:14:09] a decrease of 3.7% from the previous month. This indicator [00:14:13] fell again after two months . In addition, [00:14:16] on the 15th, in the Tokyo bond market, the yield on newly issued ten-year [00:14:20] government bonds, which is a long-term interest rate indicator, once rose [00:14:24] to one percent. [00:16:07] This trade deficit, the depreciation of the Japanese yen, and the depreciation further push up inflation, ultimately forming [00:16:11] a chain of pressure on monetary policy transmission. We see that its [00:16:15] real economy data actually reflects that its expectations are cooling down. [00:16:18] Corporate capital expenditure willingness has significantly weakened. These multiple [00:16:22] pressures are jointly suppressing its investment willingness. So, it should [00:16:26] be said that Japan's economy currently faces a systemic dilemma of multiple [00:16:30] intertwined contradictions. Therefore, it is experiencing a superposition of cyclical pressure and structural [00:16:34] rigidity. [00:17:19] The Federal Reserve raised interest rates 11 times from March 2022 to July 2023 to combat high inflation. As the economy cooled, the Federal Reserve shifted to implementing six rate cuts from September 2024 to December 2025. From January to July this year, it chose to keep interest rates unchanged [00:17:23] for five consecutive times. The Federal Reserve raised interest rates [00:17:27] for the first time in over three years. Why? [00:17:30] What are the impacts on us? Let's hear the observations [00:17:34] from CCTV reporter Wang Lei, also known as Lao Wang. [00:17:37] 察 。 [00:17:40] Why raise interest rates? The core purpose of the Federal Reserve's rate hike is to curb high inflation, [00:17:44] but it will also increase borrowing costs, directly curbing corporate [00:17:48] investment and household consumption. For the US federal debt, which has already exceeded 40 trillion US dollars, [00:17:52] rate hikes will further increase the government's burden. [00:17:56] Lao Wang saw that after the rate hike news was announced, the three major US stock indexes all [00:18:00] plummeted in late trading. The Dow Jones Industrial Average [00:18:03] fell 1.21%, hitting a new closing low since mid-June. Standard [00:18:39] faces pressure from capital outflow. In addition, dollar appreciation will lead to fluctuations in the prices of dollar-denominated [00:18:42] commodities, such as oil and food, which will affect global [00:18:46] price levels. For gold, rate hikes may [00:18:50] suppress gold price increases. So, what impact will the Federal Reserve's rate hike have on us? [00:18:54] Lao Wang consulted several economists, and the mainstream view is that [00:18:58] this rate hike will have a limited overall impact on our country, but it will bring [00:19:02] structural impacts to some enterprises and individuals. For example, enterprises with [00:19:05] dollar-denominated debt will face increased burdens. However, the overall scale of our country's corporate foreign debt is not large, [00:19:09] and the risks are controllable. In addition, after the Federal Reserve's rate hike, it will be [00:19:13] more difficult for our country's enterprises to issue bonds overseas. The costs for enterprises that need to import [00:19:17] raw materials and equipment may also increase. For individuals, the costs of [00:19:21] outbound travel and studying abroad may increase. Especially for families with [00:19:25] students studying abroad, it is best to exchange currency in batches to average costs. [00:19:28] From the Federal Reserve's statements, it seems that this rate hike may not be the last [00:19:32] one. Officials have released signals that if inflation continues to be high, [00:19:36] further hikes are not ruled out. [00:20:07] set new obstacles. Canadian provinces also restrict US companies from [00:20:11] entering local government procurement markets. Trump recently announced through social media [00:20:15] that Canadian products will be excluded from US government procurement [00:20:19] plans until Canada restores fair [00:20:23] treatment to US farmers and businesses. Amid escalating US-Canada trade disputes, Canadian [00:20:26] Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Europe. European Commission President Ursula [00:20:30] von der Leyen stated on the 16th in the European Parliament during her 2026 State of the Union address that [00:20:34] she welcomed Prime Minister Carney on Canada, [00:21:20] Canada. [00:21:23] The Canadian Prime Minister's Office issued a statement on the 16th saying that Canada is deepening and [00:21:26] expanding its relationship with the EU. Canada welcomes the EU's proposal. [00:21:30] The statement said it is a unique and positive move [00:21:34] built on the shared strengths of Canada and Europe. The Canadian Prime Minister's [00:21:38] Office also mentioned in the statement released that day the meeting between Canadian Prime Minister Carney [00:21:42] and key EU officials. The two sides discussed cooperation [00:21:45] in key minerals, energy, housing, and advanced technology. [00:21:49] State, promote economic and security. [00:22:18] The EU and [00:23:12] analysis by Ma Wei, a resident researcher at the American Institute. [00:23:15] Associate membership is a new type of cooperation proposed by the EU for [00:23:19] Canada. This status should be said to still be in the [00:23:23] proposal and exploration stage. It is not a formal membership [00:23:27] level stipulated in the EU treaties. The idea of associate membership [00:23:31] is to promote closer cooperation between the EU and Canada [00:23:35] in areas such as trade, science and technology, energy, key minerals, [00:23:38] and even defense, without Canada formally joining the EU. [00:23:42] The core difference between it and formal member states [00:23:46] is that formal member states, as constituent parts of the EU, [00:23:50] can participate in EU institutional decision-making and must bear EU laws [00:23:54] and common policy obligations, and of course also enjoy corresponding member rights. [00:23:58] Associate members, however, are still countries outside the EU. [00:24:01] Their market access rules with the EU and other applicable matters [00:24:05] all need to be determined through new agreements, and are not automatically obtained. [00:24:09] For reference, the institutional design of associate membership can refer to [00:24:13] countries such as Norway and Switzerland, which already have deep cooperation [00:24:17] models with the EU. However, the specific situation [00:24:34] Is this economic and trade relationship freer than a free trade agreement? International hot topics, let's continue to hear expert analysis. [00:24:36] 。 [00:24:38] If this associate membership arrangement ultimately translates into substantive [00:24:42] cooperation, it can strengthen the resilience against US tariffs [00:24:46] and trade restrictions by expanding Canada's exports to the EU, attracting EU investment, [00:24:55] dependence on the US market. However, this role [00:24:59] is mainly reflected in expanding markets, diversifying risks, and [00:25:02] increasing bargaining chips. [00:25:06] Moreover, it will still take a long time for it to play a substantive [00:25:10] role, and it cannot replace the importance of the US market to the Canadian [00:25:13] economy in the short term. We cannot simply assume that associate membership [00:25:17] is freer than a free trade agreement. Free trade agreements mainly revolve [00:25:21] around tariff reductions and market access, while associate membership [00:25:25] may further encompass regulatory coordination, industrial chains, [00:25:29] scientific research, investment, and even security cooperation. In some [00:25:33] areas, it may achieve deeper bilateral integration. [00:25:36] However, these bilateral rights and obligations still [00:25:40] depend on specific agreement negotiations and bilateral arrangements. [00:25:43] It does not mean that full free trade agreements are automatically [00:25:47] obtained. Therefore, it is more likely to be based on free trade agreements [00:25:51] and advance towards broader bilateral cooperation arrangements. [00:25:55] It is not simply a higher-level free trade agreement [00:25:59] in the ordinary sense. [00:26:13] You are watching News Live. Today, the 23rd China-ASEAN Expo opened in Nanning, Guangxi. [00:26:16] 。 [00:26:18] This year's China-ASEAN Expo is themed "Sharing 3.0 Opportunities, Co-creating a Better [00:26:22] Life." The total exhibition area is about 170,000 square meters, [00:26:26] with more than 3,400 enterprises from over 70 countries and regions participating, [00:26:30] an increase of 5.2% from the previous session. The new [00:26:33] highlights of the China-ASEAN Expo can be summarized in one sentence: "Old friends with a technological twist." [00:26:37] Durian coffee and fragrant rice, these well-known [00:26:41] ASEAN specialties, are once again brilliantly displayed this year. [00:26:45] Old friends are not absent. At the same time, the product structure is [00:26:49] accelerating its shift towards high value-added and high-tech industries. For example, [00:26:52] Brunei has brought AI technology enterprises to fill the void. [00:26:56] Malaysia's Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation has organized high-tech enterprises to participate. [00:27:00] Traditional specialties are combined with cutting-edge technology exhibitions. [00:27:41] For the first time, it promotes leading bamboo enterprises to participate in the exhibition as large companies representing small ones. Today, [00:27:43] the 13th Beijing Xiangshan Forum is entering its final day. Over the past [00:27:47] two days, official representatives from nearly 100 countries, regions, and international organizations, [00:27:51] as well as domestic and foreign experts and scholars, held dialogues [00:27:55] on topics such as world multipolarization and global security governance. At this Beijing [00:27:59] Xiangshan Forum, Asian security became an important topic of concern [00:28:03] for the guests. Representatives and experts from many countries and regions [00:28:07] exchanged views on topics such as the Asian security situation, regional cooperation, and security [00:28:11] governance. In [00:28:14] recent years, the security situation in the Asian region has continued to receive attention. Promoting [00:28:18] political mutual trust to extend to multi-level dialogue mechanisms has become an important [00:28:22] consensus at this forum regarding Asia's long-term future. [00:28:25] 。 [00:28:29] Asia is about cooperation, not confrontation. [00:28:53] This is the path Asia should take. This call for [00:28:56] promoting cooperation through dialogue resonated widely among the guests. [00:29:00] Facing the differences among Asian countries. [00:29:30] There is a direct human-to-human connection here. I would like to compare it to having someone with whom one can communicate well. [00:29:35] In this way, we can enhance mutual understanding. [00:29:37] 。 [00:29:41] We certainly need enough mutual understanding. At the same time, we need to deal with those issues that involve common interests. [00:29:44] Only in this way can we peacefully and harmoniously [00:29:48] coexist in this region. [00:29:49] 。 [00:29:53] We believe that the security of one country should not be built on the insecurity of another. [00:29:56] Sustainable security [00:29:58] . [00:30:18] Reporters learned today from the State Administration for Market Regulation that a food safety risk control checklist [00:30:22] related to online food sales [00:30:26] marks out risk points for online food sales such as live streaming e-commerce and online [00:30:30] stores, marking a new era for online food safety. [00:30:46] to promote online food sales enterprises to shift from passively responding to inspections to actively preventing [00:30:49] risks. For food live streaming e-commerce platform enterprises, [00:30:53] online food trading third-party platform enterprises, and networked food production and sales [00:30:57] enterprises, these three types of entities, separate checklists are formulated, requiring [00:31:01] them to fulfill their respective duties and focus on different aspects. For live streaming [00:31:05] e-commerce platform operators, the control checklist specifically addresses false advertising issues, [00:31:09] stipulating that they must not use technical means or equipment [00:31:13] to significantly alter the true nature of food. [00:31:52] For online food production and sales enterprises, the control checklist requires enterprises to control the entire process from procurement to distribution. [00:31:56] All three checklists are based on a risk circular management [00:32:00] model, requiring that when food safety risks are found, preventive measures must be [00:32:03] taken immediately. For those with potential food safety incidents, [00:32:07] sales must be immediately stopped and reported to market supervision [00:32:11] departments. At the same time, platform operators are encouraged to share [00:32:15] blacklist information, so that dishonest individuals who violate the law in one place [00:32:19] are restricted everywhere. Grassroots [00:32:21] is the main battlefield for disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief. Disaster information officers [00:32:25] are the nerve endings of disaster prevention, mitigation, and relief work. This morning, [00:32:29] the second National Disaster Information Officer Business Skills Competition, hosted by the National Disaster Reduction Committee Office and the Ministry of Emergency Management, [00:32:33] concluded in Nanjing, Jiangsu. The competition aims to improve the critical [00:32:36] ability of grassroots disaster information reporting for the last mile. [00:32:40] 信 息 上 报 , 最 后 一 公 里 的 关 键 能 力 [00:32:44] This competition is themed "Disaster as Order, Mission Accomplished." [00:32:47] It focuses on the core responsibilities of disaster information officers, including early response to sudden [00:32:51] disaster situations, statistical reporting of disaster information, [00:32:55] arranged assistance for affected people, joint investigation and assessment [00:32:59] of disaster losses, and investigation of disaster risks [00:33:03] and hazards. Business skills competitions were held in these areas. 32 teams [00:33:07] from across the country, comprising 160 disaster information officers, [00:33:10] competed on the same stage. After multiple rounds of fierce competition, the Jiangsu [00:33:14] team won. [00:33:45] In recent years, disaster information officers nationwide have reported over 700,000 [00:33:49] disaster situations annually, providing important information support for the efficient [00:33:52] development of emergency rescue and disaster relief work. I feel that this year's [00:33:56] competition is more practical. It has practical exercises, some hazard [00:34:00] investigation questions, and some emergency response questions. Through this competition, [00:34:03] I feel I have learned a lot about practical work-related [00:34:07] content. The competition promotes learning, which gives clearer [00:34:10] directions for guiding grassroots practical work, and also for practical work. [00:35:05] Some areas in Sichuan, Chongqing, Hubei, and Guizhou will experience heavy to torrential rain. [00:35:07] 。 [00:35:09] The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that today, most of Chongqing, central and southern Hubei, [00:35:13] southern Sichuan, and Guizhou [00:35:34] Among them, eastern Hubei, southern Hunan, southwestern Jiangxi, and other [00:35:38] areas will experience local torrential rain. Tomorrow, rainfall will decrease [00:35:41] . Eastern and southern Sichuan, Chongqing, and Guizhou [00:38:57] next steps. The report said that the meeting is expected to focus on discussing [00:39:01] the post-war strategic framework proposed by the US. Trump and his team [00:39:05] are developing relevant plans, which are expected to be finalized [00:39:09] after the US congressional midterm elections. Leaders or foreign ministers from Saudi [00:39:13] Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Oman will attend [00:39:17] the meeting. The scope of the meeting may also be expanded to include [00:39:20] leaders of other Arab and Islamic countries. The US State Department [00:39:24] issued an invitation on the 16th. [00:40:57] The Houthis stated on the 16th that the Saudi side's claims were lies. [00:41:00] Yemen's Houthi movement has close ties with Iran [00:41:04] and has long been in conflict with the Saudi-backed Yemeni government. In July this year, [00:41:08] after Sana'a International Airport in Yemen was attacked, conflicts between the Houthi movement and Saudi Arabia [00:41:11] escalated. This month, the situation changed significantly again. [00:41:15] The Houthi movement launched a large-scale offensive, controlling several important strategic locations [00:41:19] along the Red Sea coast. [00:41:23] On July 13, Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces attacked Sana'a International [00:41:27] . [00:42:51] This is the most valuable, uh, [00:42:53] front that allowed them [00:42:56] to um continue their attacks in the in [00:43:00] the maritime in the Red Sea and at the same [00:43:03] time stretching their control to the [00:43:06] southern side of the western coast is something important [00:43:09] for the for the Houthis for I think two reasons. The first one, [00:43:13] to sustain their military [00:43:16] operations on the maritime space, [00:43:19] now they are saying that they are imposing maritime [00:43:22] embargo on the Saudi-linked ships. So by holding these areas, [00:43:26] of course, or by controlling these areas, they will continue their [00:43:30] operations in an easier way. And the other thing, [00:43:33] there were lots of reports talking about, oh yeah, at some [00:43:36] point there might be an offensive from the coalition [00:43:40] from the Saudi government against the Houthis. And if [00:43:44] this is the case, it would come from, uh, from [00:43:48] this area. So by by controlling or by taking over [00:43:52] this area, it means that now they are [00:43:55] 100% protected. [00:43:59] There is no port in in the on the [00:44:03] coastal line that could threaten their control [00:44:07] over the, uh, [00:44:15] The Yemeni government also admitted that the Houthi forces have controlled the country's [00:44:19] entire western coast and are continuing to advance south. The Houthi forces [00:44:23] claimed to have seized 5,400 square kilometers of land [00:44:26] in nine days. This is the largest-scale change in the control areas of various forces [00:44:30] in Yemen since the UN-led ceasefire in April 2022, [00:44:34] and also since the Saudi-led Operation Decisive Storm [00:44:37] in 2015. [00:45:40] anti-Russia stance, including the recent hysterical reaction to Russian President Putin's visit [00:45:43] to the South Kuril Islands (which Japan calls the Northern Territories), [00:45:47] as well as increased military aid to Ukraine, making the prospect of normalizing [00:45:51] Russia-Japan dialogue even more remote. The statement also pointed out that Japan's promotion of remilitarization [00:45:55] is dangerous. Palestinian President [00:45:58] Abbas plans to travel to New York next week to attend the United Nations [00:46:02] General Assembly, but the United States has again refused to issue him a visa. [00:46:06] CNN reported on the 17th that Abbas's visa [00:46:11] application to enter the United States had been rejected by the US. Dozens of Palestinian officials [00:46:14] who planned to travel with Abbas were also denied visas. The US State [00:46:18] Department issued a statement on the 16th, citing Palestine's failure to carry out reforms [00:46:22] and fulfill its commitments to the US, announcing an extension of visa [00:46:26] sanctions against members of the Palestinian Liberation Organization led by Abbas [00:46:29] and officials of the Palestinian National Authority. This is the second [00:46:33] consecutive year the US has rejected Abbas's visa application. [00:46:37] 签 正 申 请 。 [00:47:28] Protesters strongly condemned the Israeli Defense Forces' continued bombing of local homes, as well as the demolition and eradication of some [00:47:32] towns and villages. Protesters called on the Lebanese government to take [00:47:36] practical action to protect residents and their homes in southern Lebanon. [00:47:39] 园 [00:47:41] The Belgian Supreme Administrative Court recently ruled that the Belgian Ministry of Finance [00:47:45] lacked the corresponding legal authority to refuse to unfreeze assets of the Russian [00:47:49] BCS Bank frozen in Europe. In July 2024, [00:47:52] BCS Bank applied to unfreeze its assets controlled by Euroclear Bank, [00:48:06] but was rejected by the Belgian Ministry of Finance. Since the escalation of the Ukraine crisis, [00:48:10] the total amount of frozen Russian assets in the EU is approximately [00:48:14] 210 billion euros, of which about 90% is held by Euroclear Bank, [00:48:17] headquartered in Brussels, Belgium. [00:48:21] 洲 清 钻 营 , [00:48:24] European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen stated on the 16th that the EU will [00:48:28] establish a climate insurance alliance to respond to increasingly frequent [00:48:32] extreme weather events and increase insurance coverage for climate disasters. [00:48:36] This summer, many parts of Europe experienced droughts, wildfires, [00:48:39] and multiple heatwaves, causing casualties and property damage. [00:48:43] Currently, only a quarter of climate-related economic losses [00:48:47] in the EU region are covered by insurance. [00:48:49] On the 16th, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization [00:48:53] and the French Agricultural Research for Development Center released a joint report [00:48:57] stating that currently, climate finance flowing into agricultural [00:49:01] and food systems is still insufficient. Agricultural and food systems are [00:49:05] one of the areas most significantly affected by climate change and require [00:49:08] more effective financial support. The report calls for further [00:49:12] improving the quality of financing while increasing the scale of financing, [00:49:16] and promoting a shift in climate financing from individual projects to a more [00:49:19] systemic approach, expanding fiscal and concessional financing [00:49:23] space, and strengthening climate financing planning and coordination at global and national levels. [00:49:26] According to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's report on the 16th, [00:49:30] a new study recently published in Scientific Reports confirms that [00:49:34] due to climate warming, Canada's only ice shelf lake, [00:49:38] the Milne Fiord Ice Shelf Lake located within the Arctic Circle, has [00:49:42] completely disappeared. Its unique water body structure, which existed [00:49:45] for thousands of years, and its unique polar ecosystem have permanently [00:49:49] disappeared. The research team stated that over the past century. [00:50:23] Dai Yulin is suspected of serious disciplinary and legal violations. He is currently undergoing disciplinary review and [00:50:27] supervision investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission. [00:50:30] Let's look at another rescue scene. Recently, Wuhu Fire Department in Anhui [00:50:33] received an alarm that a private car had fallen into a ditch by the roadside [00:50:37] in Shijian Town, Wuwei City. Firefighters quickly rushed to the scene. [00:50:40] 。 [00:50:43] Firefighters arrived at the scene and found that the front of the car was deformed. There was only one driver [00:50:46] in the car. Although the driver's side door was open, the trapped person was unable [00:50:50] to get out on their own. [00:51:06] Personnel on shore tightened the rope and pulled, while personnel in the water pushed from both sides, jointly transferring [00:51:10] the trapped person to a safe area and handing them over to 120 for transport [00:51:14] to the hospital. It is understood that the vehicle crashed into the ditch [00:51:18] around 9 pm the previous night. The driver was trapped alone in the water for a night. [00:51:22] They were discovered by passers-by in the morning, who then reported it. The cause of the accident is [00:51:26] currently under further investigation. Recently, [00:51:29] in Yutian County, Xinjiang, 24,000 jujube trees planted on the edge of the desert [00:51:33] are growing well, and are expected to ripen in mid-October. [00:51:36] 。 [00:51:39] In the golden autumn season, in Wotu Latireke Village, Yutian County, at the southern edge of the Taklamakan Desert, [00:51:43] a jujube field is particularly eye-catching. Rows of jujube trees are [00:51:46] about two meters high, and are growing well. In southern Xinjiang, [00:51:50] 人 。 在 新 疆 南 , [00:53:50] Qilian Mountains of Gansu Province, photography enthusiasts captured [00:53:54] scenes of wild red deer foraging in groups on the grasslands of the Shandan Horse Farm. The red deer [00:53:58] slowly walked through the green grasslands, occasionally bowing their heads to graze on tender [00:54:02] grass, and occasionally stopping to look around their surroundings. Their leisurely demeanor [00:54:06] added vitality to the vast Qilian grasslands. [00:54:10] Red deer are a national second-class protected wild animal. They mostly inhabit high-mountain [00:54:13] grasslands and forest areas, and have high demands on their living [00:54:17] environment. Star anise is a common [00:54:21] spice in daily life. Recently, some netizens said that when they bought star anise home and counted carefully, [00:54:25] there were more than ten points, which could be poisonous mangcao (Illicium anisatum). [00:54:28] So what is mangcao? And how do we distinguish it from star anise? [00:54:32] ? [00:54:52] According to experts, mangcao and star anise are plants of the same genus, and their appearance is very similar after drying. Mangcao contains highly toxic components, mangcao toxins. A small amount of consumption will cause symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, and abdominal pain. If a large amount is ingested, symptoms such as convulsions and spitting [00:54:55] white foam may occur. More severe cases may even lead to heart [00:54:59] failure and be life-threatening. This. [00:55:03] 。 这 个 。 [00:55:22] The seeds are shiny. However, mangcao rarely [00:55:26] splits open. When it splits open, the seeds are relatively dry and [00:55:30] dull. Star anise, on the other hand, has a kind of [00:55:34] . [01:00:52] Japanese Prime Minister Kishida reshuffled his cabinet today. Why reshuffle at this time, and what signals [01:00:56] does it send? .
