[00:02:03] You are watching World Weekly
[00:02:06] . Hello everyone, welcome to open a new issue of World Weekly
[00:02:10] . In
[00:02:12] two days, that is, November 3rd, the United States will usher in the
[00:02:16] midterm elections. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives
[00:02:20] , 35 seats in the Senate , and
[00:02:23] 36 gubernatorial positions will be reshuffled.
[00:02:27] The election is seen as fiercely contested by outsiders.
[00:04:00] In the eyes of
[00:04:02] Americans, the Cheesecake Factory, known for its Baroque decorations and extensive menu
[00:04:06] , not only defined what upscale casual dining
[00:04:09] is, but also was very good at interpreting the
[00:04:13] psychology and taste of American diners. Cheesecake factory you get a
[00:04:17] chopped salad with salmon

[00:05:00] Bennet went to this restaurant to eat, and even gave a high-profile
[00:05:03] interview to reporters at the door
[00:05:05] .
[00:05:08] What's embarrassing is that Bennet himself is a millionaire
[00:05:12] . He normally would never come to a chain restaurant like the Cheesecake Factory, and
[00:05:16] the working-class Americans he wants to represent cannot afford the per capita
[00:05:20] consumption of such restaurants . However, this
[00:05:23] controversy also put the Democratic Party in a passive position. Some people immediately said that
[00:05:27] they were also Cheesecake Factory enthusiasts , and were typical American
[00:05:31] congressmen
[00:05:31] . To this
[00:05:35] .
[00:05:40] Don't we have
[00:07:24] Thomas Kahn, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University, pointed out that "muddying the waters"
[00:07:27] is actually an old tradition of both parties.
[00:07:30] In 1930, George W. Norris, a Republican senator from Nebraska
[00:07:34] who was seeking re-election, suddenly encountered a
[00:07:38] candidate with the same name during the Republican primary, and this
[00:07:42] person was a grocery store clerk. At that time, the conservative
[00:07:46] faction within the party, in order to suppress this disobedient progressive senator,
[00:07:49] arranged for an ordinary person with the same name to run, attempting to split the vote
[00:07:53] . Finally, the court ruled that the registration document was invalid
[00:07:57] and removed this grocery store clerk from the ballot
[00:08:00] . In 2024, Washington State Democratic Attorney General
[00:08:04] Bob Ferguson also encountered two opponents
[00:08:08] with the same name in the election. According to CNN
[00:08:12] ,
[00:09:12] In April 2026, he was again indicted by a federal grand jury for posting a photo on a social media platform
[00:09:16] that spelled out "8647"
[00:09:19] . The Department of Justice believes that
[00:09:23] "86" in slang means "to kill", and "47" refers
[00:09:27] to the 47th US President Trump
[00:09:30] . It is worth noting that on October 26, 2026
[00:09:34] , the day the Department of Justice filed charges against Comey for the third time , Federal Judge Jesse
[00:09:38] of the Southern District of New York , also nominated by Obama
[00:09:42] .
[00:10:02] According to reports, Morin Comey previously served as an assistant prosecutor in the Southern District of New York and led the prosecution of the Epstein case . On July
[00:10:06] 16, 2025, he was dismissed by the US Department of Justice, and the Epstein
[00:10:09] case has always been the focus of fierce political struggle
[00:10:14] between the two parties in the US. In the US, assistant prosecutors are executive officials and are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Justice
[00:10:17] . Previously, on June 29, the nine justices of the Supreme Court
[00:10:21] voted 6 to 3.
[00:11:23] This means that after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Democrats will seek to overturn it again, and endless lawsuits that cost a lot of taxpayer money will continue.
[00:11:51] But in the early morning of October 12, the Homeland Security Investigations, a subordinate agency of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, searched Omar's residence in Washington.
[00:12:01] According to reports, search personnel carried out multiple boxes marked "seized property
[00:12:05] and evidence" from the house. The Department of Justice claims that this operation
[00:12:09] involves a formal investigation into Omar's immigration documents for fraud
[00:12:13] . Public information shows that Omar
[00:12:16] was born on October 4, 1982 in Mogadishu, Somalia
[00:12:20] , while The Atlantic once mentioned in a report that in December
[00:12:33] 1982, Omar was two months old. If calculated accordingly, Omar's birth year would be 1981, and he would not have been under 18 years old when he claimed to have immigrated in 2000
[00:12:37] . According to CBS, investigators
[00:12:40] are investigating whether he is suspected of immigration fraud
[00:12:44] . On October 23, The Washington Post also broke the news that Omar's
[00:12:48] British ex-husband, Ahmed Elmi, had
[00:12:52] filed a complaint with the US Immigration Bureau in 2019.
[00:14:15] However, this search was only 22 days before the election
[00:14:19] and has already broken the consensus . Omar is
[00:14:23] a member of the progressive caucus in Congress.
[00:14:39] In American author Mark Twain's novel "The Gilded Age," a person running for public
[00:14:43] office can go from having a good reputation to being a criminal
[00:14:47] , a thief, a drunkard, and a moral degenerate. And this
[00:14:51] is also the most ironic and eye-catching part of this election.
[00:14:55] The reserved program . According to the latest
[00:14:59] poll results released by Gallup on October 29 , the attention of American
[00:15:02] voters to the midterm elections reached a new high since the agency began recording
[00:15:06] . 56% of American adults said
[00:15:10] that they paid a considerable amount of attention to the 2026 US midterm
[00:15:14] elections. Among the 11 issues involved in the midterm elections
[00:15:18] , 50% of Americans believe that economic and medical
[00:15:22] issues are extremely important . "I've
[00:15:25] noticed that my heat and electric bills have gone
[00:15:28] up, food, food has
[00:15:31] gotten pretty terrible." According to the latest data from the US Department of Commerce
[00:15:35] , US personal consumption expenditures in September.
[00:15:55] In every important election year, there will be discussions about whether it will "turn red" or "turn blue."
[00:15:59] Red refers to the Republican Party , and blue represents the Democratic
[00:16:02] Party. Now, as the midterm election voting day approaches
[00:16:06] , multiple.
[00:16:13] However, some media also pointed out that the possibility of systematic polling bias
[00:16:16] cannot be ruled out . However, just before the midterm
[00:16:20] elections, a red wave outside the United States
[00:16:23] truly had a subtle impact on the surrounding situation and
[00:16:27] balance of power in the United States. This also made
[00:16:31] the upcoming US election even more
[00:16:34] contentious . On January 28,
[00:16:38] Bolsonaro, who lost in the Brazilian presidential election , arrived in Miami, USA
[00:16:42] , and issued an open letter, declaring that he was the truly
[00:16:46] elected president . "I, as the truly elected
[00:16:49] president of Brazil , address the Brazilian people and the international
[00:16:53] community." Instantly
[00:16:56] , public opinion exploded . The Brazilian newspaper O Globo
[00:16:59] criticized him as being crazy, and the São Paulo newspaper commented that this
[00:17:03] move was very sad .
[00:17:08] Although Bolsonaro quickly retracted the letter, he found
[00:17:12] himself increasingly isolated in Brazilian politics . Once again,
[00:17:16] various parties reaffirmed their recognition of the presidential election results
[00:17:20] . On October 26, the day
[00:17:24] after Bolsonaro lost to Lula in the election , the Brazilian Supreme Court
[00:17:28] ruled to prohibit him from leaving the country and ordered him
[00:17:31] to surrender his passport within 24 hours. However, just two
[00:17:35] days later, he and his family left.
[00:18:44] Who can get the prices down? Who can make sure that we have stability and
[00:18:48] also a long-range upward bound so our children have a chance to live a good life in
[00:18:52] America? That's what people are wanting. If they come in with
[00:18:55] vengeance and retribution, I'll guarantee it'll be short-lived
[00:18:59] and the democrats will set the republicans up to sweep it in 28.
[00:19:03] On October 30th, the Republicans will not be attending.
[00:19:37] but the outcome became unpredictable. On October 30, an Emerson poll
[00:19:41] showed that Democratic Senator candidate Hamilton
[00:19:45] led 49% to 45% over Republican Senator
[00:19:49] Marshall. According to reports, economic issues became
[00:19:52] a key concern for C. S. citizens. Before the Iranian war
[00:19:56] , the price of US diesel was about $3.62 per gallon. After
[00:19:59] September , it rose to
[00:20:03] $6.53. The high fuel costs are weighing on S.
[00:20:07] .
[00:20:39] However, the Washington Post also mentioned that although many Republican voters in S.
[00:20:43] were dissatisfied with the county government's policies , they did not fully
[00:20:46] turn to support the Democratic Party .
[00:21:21] According to the plan, the Artemis manned lunar rocket will be launched
[00:21:25] in 2028 , the US election year. At that
[00:21:28] time, Musk's SpaceX will play a core role, and
[00:21:32] NASA Administrator Isaacman is a close friend
[00:21:36] of Musk. According to Politico , Musk has already invested
[00:21:40] over $442 million in the 2026 midterm elections
[00:21:43] , becoming the largest known donor in this election
[00:21:47] . Since July , Musk has contributed over
[00:21:51] $270 million to Republican campaign camps and political action committees
[00:21:55] . In the first two weeks of October , he added another
[00:21:58] $76 million . However, on October 26
[00:22:02] , a poll released by Rasmussen showed that if a congressional election were held
[00:22:06] immediately , 48% of voters
[00:22:09] would vote for the Democratic candidate , and only 43% of
[00:22:13] voters would choose the Republican candidate . Among them,
[00:22:16] will the traditional deep red state of Texas turn blue?
[00:22:35] has also become one of the most watched focal points in the United States. According to reports, Musk has transferred 158 million US dollars to a super political action committee that supports Texas Attorney General Paxton's bid for senator. Texas is both the location of Musk's SpaceX base
[00:22:39] and a traditional Republican stronghold. Since the mid-1990s
[00:22:42] , the state's federal senators have always been held by
[00:22:46] Republicans and have never fallen to Democrats. According to a
[00:22:50] 254 LAPS and Ugof blue
[00:22:54] poll released on October 28 , in the Texas Senate
[00:22:57] election, Democratic candidate Tararico's support rate was
[00:23:01] 51%, while Republican Paxton's support rate was 43%
[00:23:05] , making a flip possible. On October 21, Tararico
[00:23:08] responded to Musk's comment that voting for him was a mistake
[00:23:12] . "If a political system allows a billionaire
[00:23:16] to buy an American senator for his personal gain
[00:23:20] , then there is a serious problem with that system." And "anti-
[00:23:24] billionaire" has become the traffic password for Democrats to attract
[00:23:28] voters in this year's midterm elections . On October 16,
[00:23:31] 2026, a highly controversial documentary, "Musk in America," was released
[00:23:35] in the United States. According to reports, the film implied that Musk
[00:23:39] attempted to interfere with the 2024 US election
[00:23:43] .
[00:23:43] However, it is surprising
[00:24:06] that the film's
[00:24:09] box office revenue in North America was less than $1 million
[00:24:12] in the two weeks following its release.
[00:24:24] Among them, Musk's X, as well as Meta, YouTube and other mainstream
[00:24:28] media platforms, have restricted the placement of advertisements for the documentary
[00:24:31] . It is worth noting that the behind-the-scenes boss of the distributor of Musk's documentary
[00:24:35] , A24 Films, is Pierre Omidyar, the founder of eBay
[00:24:39] . He not only acquired Musk's PayPal in 2002
[00:24:43] , but also has deep ties with the Democratic Party and is an open opponent
[00:24:47] of Musk . And the documentary
[00:24:59] However, on October 6 this year, Tianwu Group completed the acquisition of Warner, becoming a giant in the entertainment and media industry. And the owners of Tianwu Group
[00:25:03] , the Ellison father and son, are not only major Republican donors
[00:25:07] , but also major investors in Tesla and X.
[00:25:09] This film, which was originally predicted to use the midterm election as an opportunity to attack
[00:25:13] the Republican Party, became silent overnight, which is not difficult to
[00:25:17] understand. Some analysts believe that
[00:25:50] The Associated Press noted that political polarization in the United States , social divisions, and political
[00:25:54] violence incidents have covered almost all groups
[00:25:58] with different political stances. The deep-seated problems facing American society
[00:26:06] are difficult to solve through an election. It is also worth noting that, looking back at American history, whenever domestic
[00:26:10] conflicts intensify, the focus often shifts to the international
[00:26:14] arena. Now, with the midterm elections approaching, the pace
[00:26:18] of mutual attacks between the two parties is accelerating , and the competition between them
[00:26:22] will probably not be limited
[00:26:25] to the domestic affairs of the United States
[00:26:28] . High-speed train collision, dozens of people .
[00:27:32] The second serious high-speed train collision occurred on the same busy railway line in Seville within a year. This plunged
[00:27:36] the entire country of Spain into deep mourning and also shook
[00:27:40] the confidence of Spaniards in Europe's
[00:27:44] longest high-speed rail network .
[00:27:47] At 7:54 AM local time
[00:27:50] on October 28 , Iryo 60764
[00:27:54] train, operated by the Spanish private high-speed train operator Iryo , departed from
[00:27:57] Madrid Atocha Station . It was heading to the southern city of
[00:28:01] Seville. The train had eight carriages and carried
[00:28:05] 147 passengers . Six
[00:28:08] minutes later, Spain's national railway company's AVE
[00:28:12] 2080 train departed from Madrid , also bound for
[00:28:16] Seville. The eight carriages carried
[00:28:19] 397 passengers . For these two trains that departed one after another
[00:28:23] , this should have been a journey without intersection
[00:28:27] . But at around 8:31 AM , the railway safety system malfunctioned
[00:28:30] .
[00:28:53] These included Iryo 6076 and AVE 2080 trains. Records show that Iryo 6076
[00:28:57] train once contacted the railway control
[00:29:01] center.
[00:29:24] LCP
[00:29:26] system trains are a type of railway automation technology.
[00:29:40] LCB system will also automatically stop the train.
[00:29:43] According to the Western safety regulations, the LCB
[00:29:47] system was in place until 8:36.
[00:29:56] While other trains were waiting for instructions from the control center
[00:30:02] , Spain's national railway company's AVE 2080 train
[00:30:06] received a baffling order
[00:30:09] .
[00:30:13] dos reco
[00:30:16] ?
[00:30:32] The Atocha control center asked the 2080
[00:30:36] train to continue operating in BSL system mode
[00:30:40] . BSL is a signal system that works with trackside
[00:30:44] signals and transponders. It can trigger braking before signals,
[00:30:47] but unlike the LCB system, it cannot
[00:30:51] continuously supervise the train's speed . According to safety
[00:30:55] regulations, in BSL system mode, the train
[00:30:59] must operate in sight-based mode.
[00:31:15] The instructions issued by the Atocha control center to the 20080
[00:31:18] train were to operate at normal speed
[00:31:22] .
[00:31:27] Following the instructions , the 2080 train
[00:31:31] proceeded at normal speed . At 8:53 AM
[00:31:34] , after traveling about 25 kilometers, the driver was horrified
[00:31:38] to see the Iryo 6076 train still stopped on the tracks
[00:31:42] ahead, but at this time
[00:32:15] That was impossible, you could only cry. The train went off the tracks, a section of the track was broken, some parts were detached, and a small team came in, hoping for new life from the seats.
[00:32:44] First responders rushed in, nearby hospitals suspended
[00:32:48] non-emergency surgeries and fully focused on treating the injured. Doctors in the Madrid region's
[00:32:52] strike immediately stopped , and doctors
[00:32:55] put away their protest signs and rushed back to the hospital . A blood donation
[00:32:59] center in Madrid called on the public to urgently donate blood. On October
[00:33:03] 29, King Philip VI of Spain visited a hospital in Leticia
[00:33:06] to visit the injured .
[00:33:09] For a country like Spain
[00:36:15] , two such serious high-speed train accidents
[00:36:19] in one year are unacceptable . On October 28
[00:36:23] , Spanish Prime Minister Sanchez said at the accident scene:
[00:36:57] Today, with a land area of 506,000 square kilometers, the total length of the high-speed
[00:37:01] rail network is nearly 4,000 kilometers , making it the first in Europe and the second in the world
[00:37:05] , second only to China . The efficient
[00:37:08] , green, and convenient high-speed rail passenger transport system is considered
[00:37:12] Spain's national calling card . Its high-speed rail technology has also been exported to Saudi
[00:37:16] Arabia and other countries
[00:37:18] .
[00:37:24] But in late 2009 , multiple European countries experienced a surge
[00:37:27] in government debt crises, and Spain was no exception
[00:37:30] to the PIGS group of five European countries . To curb the spread
[00:37:34] of the crisis, the EU passed the Stability and Growth Pact, and mechanisms such as
[00:37:38] the excessive deficit procedure to constrain member states' fiscal discipline
[00:37:42] . As part of the EU's bailout conditions, countries deeply
[00:37:45] affected by the debt crisis were also forced to implement strict
[00:37:49] fiscal austerity policies . The Spanish government
[00:37:52] launched a comprehensive spending cut plan, with transportation infrastructure
[00:37:56] maintenance costs bearing the brunt . According to data from the
[00:38:00] Valencian Institute of Economic Research in Spain , between
[00:38:03] 2009 and 2025 , investment in Spanish rail infrastructure
[00:38:07] fell by approximately 66.7%
[00:38:09] . Spanish Minister of Transport
[00:38:11] Puente admitted that between 2010
[00:38:15] and 2018 , Spain's investment in rail infrastructure
[00:38:18] decreased by approximately 30 billion euros compared to the same period before the financial crisis
[00:38:22] . It was also during this period that Spain experienced
[00:38:26] the European
[00:40:29] According to data from the Spanish National Institute of Statistics , the number of high-speed rail passengers
[00:40:32] in Spain increased from 22 million in 2019 to
[00:40:36] 43 million in 2025 , reaching a new historical high
[00:40:40] . But even so, ghost stations are still
[00:40:44] a hot topic in Spain . The reason is that Spain's
[00:40:48] high-speed rail network is structured in a radial pattern centered in Madrid
[00:40:52] , radiating to various autonomous regions, with traffic flows unevenly distributed,
[00:40:56] and Madrid being particularly prominent
[00:41:40] . Data from the Spanish National Railway Safety Department show that in 2016
[00:41:44] , there were 45 derailment and collision accidents,
[00:41:48] 57 in 2024 , and even
[00:41:52] more, 69 in 2025 . Since its opening in
[00:41:55] 1992, the Madrid-Seville high-speed rail line has been using
[00:41:59] the old LCB safety control system, which relies on physical cables
[00:42:03] . Once a fault occurs, it is relatively difficult to repair
[00:42:07] . According to Spanish Minister of Transport Puente, this system has
[00:42:10] already had about 170 failures this year,
[00:42:14] and the safety control system has become an unsafe accident
[00:42:18] . A few weeks ago, the CEO of private high-speed rail operator Iryo
[00:42:22] , Fabrizio Famà, stated at a Spanish Senate
[00:42:25] hearing that, apart from special events such as fires,
[00:42:29] the most common problems were related to the LCB system
[00:42:33] . In 2020, the Spanish Railway Infrastructure Administration
[00:42:37] launched the LCB system
[00:43:07] LCB. According to the latest. figures that
[00:43:11] we have, the satisfaction among users
[00:43:14] has fallen from 62% to
[00:43:18] 58%,
[00:43:23] los españoles necesitan respuestas y los españoles. But the price paid for safety
[00:43:40] is equally heavy . While continuously promoting infrastructure
[00:43:44] expansion, how to reasonably balance new construction and maintenance investment
[00:43:48] . Prioritize system protection and regulatory
[00:43:51] coordination . This is a long-standing
[00:43:55] question for Spain and more European countries
[00:43:58] . Well, thank you for watching this issue of World Weekly. We'll
