Welcome. [00:00:39] First, let's look at current affairs and important news . [00:00:43] On November 2nd, Xi Jinping held a medical meeting in the North Hall of the Great Hall of the People [00:00:47] to welcome the Sultan of Oman , Sultan Haitham, on his visit to [00:00:51] China. After the welcoming ceremony , Xi Jinping held talks [00:00:54] with Haitham . Today, [00:00:57] Xi Jinping further improved the Yellow River . [00:01:36] Draft law, revised draft of water law, etc., presided over by Zhao Leji. On November 2nd, Zhao Leji held talks in Beijing with the Chairwoman of the Russian Federation Council, Matviyenko [00:01:39] . On November 2nd, [00:01:43] Wang Huning met with the Chairwoman of the Russian Federation Council, Matviyenko [00:01:47] in Beijing. On November 2nd, Wang Huning [00:01:51] met with a delegation from the Communist Party of Vietnam in Beijing [00:01:54] . On November 2nd , to study and implement the spirit of the Party's 20th Central Committee, the Central Propaganda [00:01:57] . [00:03:40] This means that it is cheaper for institutions to borrow money, and their enthusiasm for long-term investment will be higher. After this round of tools is launched [00:03:44] , the financing capacity of brokerage funds will be greatly improved, and the inflow of incremental funds [00:03:48] into the stock market will also help the healthy and stable development of the capital market . [00:03:53] story in The central bank also stated that the stock repurchase and increase in re-lending policies will be changed from phased [00:03:56] arrangements to long-term institutional arrangements. Re-lending rate. [00:04:09] At the same time, the government also issued a combination of multiple measures and policies on October 2nd . Old Wang carefully studied [00:04:13] it, and this combination of powers has a lot of dry goods. First of all, the regular [00:04:17] meeting clearly proposed the key word of market-making repurchase, and also disclosed [00:04:21] the new rules for heavy treasuries that are being reviewed . Each item is very precise. [00:04:25] One is to include stock prices that fall below their issue price into market-making repurchases [00:04:29] . [00:05:00] In the future, this year, together with multiple departments, will introduce multiple policies to guide these big players to be willing to come, stay [00:05:04] , and invest for a long time. With these stabilizing forces, the market will have [00:05:07] stability [00:05:14] Conference Wuzhen Summit . From November 2nd to 5th [00:05:18] , the World Internet Conference will be held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang . This year marks [00:05:22] the 13th year of the summit being held in Wuzhen . This summit is themed [00:05:26] "Open Source, Openness, Co-construction, Sharing, and Working Together to Build a Community with a Shared Future in Cyberspace" [00:05:30] . In addition to the main forum, this year's [00:05:33] conference has 27 sub-forums, a record high in recent years [00:05:37] . The topics cover robots and generative AI, digital education [00:05:41] and other hot topics. As an important supporting activity of the summit [00:05:45] , the 2026 Internet Light Expo opened on the 2nd. This [00:05:49] time, 670 Chinese and foreign companies from 54 countries and regions [00:05:52] participated in the exhibition, bringing more than 1,000 latest technological achievements [00:05:56] . This expo is themed "Intelligent Interconnection, [00:06:00] Intelligent Future" , and features six major themed exhibition areas [00:06:03] such as "New Connections in Space, Sky, Land, and Sea," "New Spaces of Intelligent Emergence," and "New Entrances to Human-Machine Coexistence" [00:06:07] , comprehensively showcasing the development achievements of [00:06:11] intelligent Internet. Among them, satellite Internet, 6G, and other new Internet technologies and [00:06:15] products were debuted at the expo [00:06:19] . This expo also adopted a scenario-based approach [00:06:22] , focusing on showcasing hundreds of generative AI robots [00:06:26] for industrial manufacturing, health care, medical care, culture, and education, [00:06:30] presenting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial [00:06:33] innovation, and jointly empowering high-value application scenarios [00:06:37] in production and life . This year's Internet Light Expo [00:06:41] highlights. The exhibition has added many displays and activities [00:06:44] for the general public and young people , bringing cutting-edge technology [00:06:48] into thousands of households. The first [00:06:52] digital consumption market was held , with 1,330 [00:06:56] new products guaranteed, which everyone can see, feel, [00:07:00] buy, and play . At the same time, we held the first artificial [00:07:03] intelligence OPC Family Day , allowing our young creators [00:07:07] to temporarily get some tools, resources [00:07:11] , and partners [00:07:13] . It is understood that the 2026 Internet Light Expo will last [00:07:17] until November 5th, during which 115 [00:07:21] digital innovation releases and 10 industry cooperation matchmaking [00:07:29] . As of November 2nd, the 140th Canton Fair has had [00:07:32] 163 overseas industrial and commercial organizations and 494 investment [00:07:36] and procurement enterprises participating in groups . Among them, the number of investment and procurement enterprises [00:07:40] increased by about 21% year-on-year [00:08:36] . We announced that if Iran's demands [00:08:39] are met , it is possible that within a short period of time [00:08:42] , security will return to the Strait of Hormuz and [00:08:45] negotiations will begin . All of this [00:08:48] depends on how the American side [00:08:51] wants to act regarding [00:08:54] the future of this process . According to US media on October 28, the US president's top national security adviser [00:08:58] Iranian President Rouhani said [00:10:13] on that day that Iran's supreme leader has authorized the government to negotiate [00:10:17] a peace deal, and that Iran is working to resolve [00:10:21] issues through dialogue . Rouhani emphasized: [00:10:25] The enemy cannot make Iran surrender through war. So, [00:10:28] from a seven-day plan to a two-day plan, the time has been shortened. Can the Strait of Hormuz [00:10:32] restore peace ? [00:10:35] To implement this two-day plan, the core [00:10:39] difficulties are in several aspects . First, there is still controversy between the US and Iran [00:10:43] on the order of lifting sanctions. Second, there is no third-party guarantee that after the agreement is fulfilled [00:10:46] , both the US and Iran can abide by their respective commitments. Third, [00:10:50] the unfreezing of funds and the lifting of sanctions involve the US Treasury Department [00:10:54] and Congress, respectively. It is difficult to truly achieve this in the short term. Therefore, [00:10:58] from the current version of the plan, whether it is the core goal or the ceasefire [00:11:02] framework, or the technical procedures, there are insurmountable [00:11:05] obstacles. It is almost impossible to implement it without any changes [00:11:09] . However, it is still possible for the Strait of Hormuz to see a limited resumption of [00:11:13] passage and phased opening in the short term. The possibility [00:11:16] of the Strait fully returning to its pre-war state is low, and the two-day [00:11:20] plan is also unlikely to reverse the current tense situation in the Persian Gulf region [00:11:24] . The US president, [00:11:47] therefore, still advocates pressure for talks [00:11:48] . [00:11:54] Then talk about sanctions. As for Iran, it wants to talk about easing sanctions first, then the nuclear issue [00:11:58] , which can be said to be completely opposite . Second, Iran regards the right of passage [00:12:02] through the strait as a negotiable asset, while the US believes that international waterways [00:12:05] should be open. Iran wants a permanent ceasefire guarantee, while [00:12:09] the US is only willing to give a temporary one. Then, troop withdrawal and compensation are even more unacceptable [00:12:13] to the US . November 3rd [00:12:17] will mark the official voting day for the US midterm elections. US President [00:12:21] Trump said last week that he would not implement sanctions against Iran before November 3rd [00:12:25] . The White House has repeatedly promised not to act before the election, but this constraint will expire [00:12:29] after November 3rd . In addition, Trump's term has entered its final two years [00:12:33] , so the desire to accumulate foreign policy achievements is rapidly rising. Most voters [00:12:37] do not approve of Trump's handling of the Iran war [00:12:40] , and there are also divisions within the Republican Party . Gulf countries fear retaliation [00:12:44] and therefore continue to pressure the US . At the same time, the forces pushing for military strikes [00:12:48] are also very strong. The probability of a full-scale war is relatively low, but the probability of [00:12:52] limited, precise strikes is still relatively high. Moreover, [00:12:56] special caution should be exercised against Israel taking so-called unilateral actions [00:13:00] to deliberately involve the US in regional conflicts [00:13:02] . The Iranian military announced on November 2nd [00:13:06] that a tanker in the eastern Strait of Hormuz [00:13:10] hit a mine in a dangerous area and caught fire. The statement said [00:13:14] that the tanker had shut down its navigation system . The statement warned that any [00:13:17] vessel that shuts down its identification system and enters the area may [00:13:21] face serious consequences. Unauthorized entry is dangerous . [00:14:18] A Yemeni security official said on November 1st that Houthi militants [00:14:22] launched missiles that day, attacking . [00:14:34] Houthi militants also attacked a medical center in Lahj province, southern Yemen , causing casualties [00:14:38] . [00:14:41] According to the Times of Israel on November 2nd , the Israeli military said its forces [00:14:45] had withdrawn from the communities where two Palestinian attackers lived in Hebron [00:14:49] , ending the 11-day military operation in Hebron [00:14:52] , but had not yet issued an official statement . The Times of Israel reported [00:14:56] that on October 23rd, two Palestinians launched an attack at a checkpoint [00:15:00] in Hebron, killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring [00:15:04] three others. The two attackers were subsequently killed by Israeli forces. After the attack [00:15:08] , the Israeli military launched a large-scale military operation in Hebron [00:15:11] . During the operation, hundreds of buildings were searched and dozens of [00:15:15] suspects were detained. The report said that Israeli Chief of Staff Zamir reportedly [00:15:19] suggested ending the operation just two days after it began [00:15:23] , but was rejected by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu [00:15:37] . On the morning of November 2nd, the National Cultural Heritage Administration held a press conference [00:15:41] to introduce the archaeological work and the 15th Five-Year Plan. The plan [00:15:44] clarifies that, on the basis of the existing 21 major archaeological projects in China [00:15:48] , continuous attention will be paid to the origins of agriculture and early society [00:15:52] , patterns of civilization origins , and the formation of early states [00:15:55] . The sixth phase of the Chinese Civilization Exploration Project will further study [00:15:59] the civilization processes in Northwest, Southwest, and South China and their interactive exchange processes [00:16:03] . The Xia-Shang Civilization Research Project will continue . [00:16:07] 续 。 [00:16:25] Among them, maternity benefit expenditures amounted to 78.161 billion yuan [00:16:29] , fully realizing direct payments to individuals . As of [00:16:33] now, the number of participants in national maternity insurance has reached 260 million [00:16:37] . Three provinces and 216 coordinated areas have included flexible [00:16:40] employment personnel in the coverage . 31 provinces and 322 [00:16:44] coordinated areas have implemented in-hospital delivery fee exemptions within the policy scope, with no [00:16:48] out-of-pocket expenses for individuals . All provinces [00:16:52] have included assisted reproductive technologies in the payment scope , and fully realized the inclusion of painless delivery [00:16:56] in medical insurance reimbursement . During the 15th Five-Year Plan period [00:16:59] , our country will continue to improve the maternity insurance system , promote the participation of flexible [00:17:03] employment personnel, migrant workers, and new employment forms personnel in public medical insurance [00:17:07] to also participate in maternity insurance , reasonably improve the level of prenatal [00:17:10] examination coverage , and guide local exploration and formulation of [00:17:14] a basic service package covering heart monitoring, obstetric ultrasound [00:17:18] , and other basic prenatal examinations . This can be covered by outpatient special [00:17:22] maternity payments. Continue to improve the medical insurance payment management for assisted [00:17:26] reproductive technology projects , and promote the basic realization of [00:17:30] in-hospital delivery fee exemptions within the policy scope with no out-of-pocket expenses for individuals. [00:17:34] Further expand the scope of direct settlement of inter-provincial maternity-related medical expenses [00:17:49] . Let's follow up on the aftermath of the 7.0-magnitude earthquake in Baqying County, Nagqu City, Tibet. After the earthquake, some school buildings in Maru Township and Gangqie Township were damaged and were not suitable for resuming classes locally . Under the unified arrangement of the Tibet Autonomous [00:17:53] Region Education Department and the Nagqu City organization, teachers and students were transported [00:17:57] in batches to the Nagqu Complete Middle School in Lhasa to resume classes [00:18:00] . [00:18:02] It is now past 11 PM on October 1st. After more than ten [00:18:06] hours, [00:18:38] Lhasa Nagqu Complete Middle School is a public boarding school [00:18:42] run by Nagqu City in Duilongdeqing District, Lhasa City . It just started operating this autumn [00:18:46] , with a total capacity of 3,600 students [00:18:50] . The first batch of 1,200 students were enrolled, so there is still a large [00:18:54] surplus capacity. The school has arranged classrooms, dormitories, and [00:18:57] daily necessities for the students in the town in advance, ensuring that teachers and students have [00:19:01] sufficient supplies . In addition, the school has [00:19:05] also arranged medical personnel and psychological counselors . [00:20:07] Let's look at the weather. The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in the next three days [00:20:11] , there will be moderate to heavy rain, with local torrential rain in parts of Jianghuai, Jianghan, western and northern Jiangnan [00:20:15] , Chongqing, eastern Guizhou, and northern Guangxi . The central and northern parts of Northeast China will have [00:20:19] light to moderate snow or rain with snow . Among them, central Heilongjiang will have heavy [00:20:22] snow or blizzards . From the 4th to the 7th [00:20:26] , affected by a cold air mass, Inner Mongolia , Northeast China, North China to [00:20:30] northern Jiangnan and other places will experience a temperature drop of 4 to 8 degrees Celsius from north to [00:20:34] south, with local drops exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, accompanied by winds of 5 to [00:20:50] The situation will now turn to the United States. On November 3rd, the US midterm elections will [00:20:54] usher in the official voting day. As of local time on October 31st [00:20:58] , a record 50 million people have voted early. This [00:21:02] election is seen as a rating by the American people of the Trump administration's performance in the past two years [00:21:06] , and will also affect the balance of power between the Republican and Democratic parties [00:21:10] in Congress for the next two years , as well as their influence in various states [00:21:14] . So, before the midterm elections officially [00:21:18] open for voting, the Republican and Democratic parties have already [00:22:02] Said on the evening of the 1st that Stevens' actions [00:22:05] were irrelevant. What matters is that the people of Michigan are struggling [00:22:09] to cope with the cost of living crisis . Reuters said that Stevens' [00:22:13] move was an unexpected assist to the Republican Party [00:22:17] . Many Democrats openly condemned Stevens. The Michigan [00:22:20] Democratic Party chairman announced that he would kick him out of the party, while US [00:22:24] President Trump praised Stevens as unprecedentedly loyal to Michigan [00:22:28] and welcomed him to join the Republican Party. Mike Rogers, who was supported [00:22:32] by Stevens, said he was proud to have his vote [00:22:35] . [00:23:20] Scene 2: Mother and daughter turn against each other . In the Ohio gubernatorial [00:23:24] election, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy challenged Democratic candidate Amy [00:23:28] Acton. Ramaswamy's campaign team invited Acton's [00:23:32] mother, Donna Arthur, to appear in and produce a highly [00:23:35] aggressive campaign ad , and heavily funded its promotion [00:23:39] . In the ad, Donna Arthur [00:23:43] called her daughter a liar with serious problems, denying [00:23:46] her daughter's childhood abuse and homelessness experiences [00:24:02] . She called on voters not to let her daughter be elected governor. When Amy Acton was 12 years old, her stepfather, Clyde Arthur, was accused of sexually assaulting her [00:24:06] . However, Clyde Arthur did not face justice, but instead [00:24:10] chose to flee. Acton and her brother subsequently left their mother [00:24:14] . Acton's brother said that their biological mother continued to maintain [00:24:17] her marriage with their stepfather until 2 [00:24:26] You probably have been hearing by now that I had [00:24:29] a pretty rough childhood grown up and now my opponent [00:24:33] has chosen to exploit [00:24:36] intentionally this [00:24:43] a desperate attempt to save his struggling [00:24:47] campaign this is so... [00:25:10] What exactly are the US midterm elections about? According to polls, what is the current election situation of the Democratic and Republican parties ? What dilemmas [00:25:13] in American politics do these midterm elections reflect ? Let's watch a short video to [00:25:17] find out . [00:25:21] Question 1: What are the US midterm elections for? [00:25:28] This is a mobilization slogan used by the US president at rallies in multiple states, but midterm elections do not elect. every [00:25:40] two years we have another important election where we choose all [00:25:44] 435 members of the house of representatives, a third of [00:25:48] our senators and a whole lot. [00:26:02] This will affect the balance of power between the two parties and the president's policy space [00:26:06] for the next two years [00:26:06] . [00:26:13] Currently, President Trump's Republican Party controls both the Senate and the House [00:26:17] , but with a small advantage. Some analyses point out that the House of Representatives holds legislative [00:26:21] agenda, budget spending, and oversight powers [00:26:24] . The Senate, on the other hand, has the power to confirm important personnel appointments such as federal judges [00:26:28] and cabinet officials . If the Democratic Party flips either chamber [00:26:32] , the Trump administration will not have an easy time for the next two years. Question [00:26:36] two, what is the current election situation of the two major US parties? Election [00:26:40] summary. Major non-partisan election analysis organizations, Cook Political [00:26:43] Report and Election Inside, predict that the Democratic Party is expected [00:26:47] to gain 12 to 30 seats in the House of Representatives, far exceeding the [00:26:51] three seats needed to flip it. In the Senate , the Democratic Party needs to compete for four [00:26:55] seats to reach the 51 seats needed to control it. Many organizations [00:26:59] believe that currently, both parties in the Senate government [00:28:37] also have no way to completely obstruct Trump's domestic and foreign policy agenda [00:28:40] . In that case, such an election is actually a reshuffle [00:28:44] of party politics. It has no meaning for responding to the demands of the American people [00:28:47] or for addressing the concerns of American voters about their livelihoods [00:28:51] . [00:28:54] Let's look at the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on November 2nd [00:28:57] that its mobile application was subjected to a large-scale cyberattack [00:29:01] that day. [00:29:22] The department is currently taking measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again. [00:30:02] The system was valid from October 27th to November 1st [00:30:06] . He said that all parties are currently working together to continue humanitarian [00:30:10] aid operations , and residents remaining in Aleppo [00:30:13] still need help . So, how likely is it that such humanitarian ceasefires [00:30:17] or relief operations will be replicated in other conflict areas? Also, why does [00:30:21] Russia hope that Turkey will facilitate talks? Under the current situation, is direct communication [00:30:25] between Russian and Ukrainian leaders at an appropriate time [00:30:28] ? Let's hear the expert's analysis . [00:30:50] Through this operation, Russia successfully completed the evacuation of civilians from the war zone, which to some extent improved its international [00:30:54] image. It also
