[00:01:53] Let's look at other current political news. On the 20th, South Korean President Lee Jae-myung met with Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister
[00:01:57] at the Blue House in Seoul. Lee Jae-myung said,
[00:02:01] "When I visited China in January this year, I was warmly received by President Xi Jinping.
[00:02:05] Please convey my gratitude and greetings to President Xi Jinping." It is gratifying to see that the current relationship between South Korea and China is rapidly
[00:02:09] improving and developing. Under the current international situation, the strengthening of strategic
[00:02:12] cooperation between South Korea and China is in line with the fundamental interests of both countries
[00:02:16] and is very important for maintaining regional peace and stability. South Korea and China
[00:02:20] should become mutually interdependent and complementary partners. Wang Yi conveyed President Xi Jinping's greetings
[00:02:24] to President Lee Jae-myung, saying that
[00:02:27] he hoped that
[00:02:48] greater progress would be made and contributions made to promote the development of both countries and regional peace and prosperity. Today,
[00:02:52] the Ministry of Commerce released the consumption market situation for July.
[00:02:56] In the first seven months of this year, China's society,
[00:03:22] among which, the retail sales of consumer goods excluding automobiles increased by
[00:03:25] 2.7%, and commodity consumption was upgraded.
[00:03:29] 5.0% continued to be higher than that of commodities, with an increase of 2.6%. Travel service tickets exceeded 5 billion yuan, an increase of over 10% in July.
[00:04:33] During this period, major projects across the country steadily advanced, providing support
[00:04:37] for high-quality economic development.
[00:04:38] Today,
[00:04:41] in Yancheng, Jiangsu, the main project of the Huaihe River estuary waterway and the sea
[00:04:44] reversing sluice was fully completed.
[00:04:48] This is the first sluice project of the second phase of the Huaihe River estuary waterway that meets the conditions for water diversion and operation.
[00:04:52] The second phase of the Huaihe River estuary waterway is a national major hydraulic project, with a total
[00:04:56] length of 162.3 kilometers. On the basis of the existing first phase project,
[00:05:00] it will be expanded and renovated, comprehensively improving the red line capacity
[00:05:04] while also allowing 200-ton ships to pass,
[00:05:08] forming an efficient river channel to the sea.
[00:05:11] Today, in Henan, the Zhoukou Pingding Mountain to Luohe
[00:05:15] to Zhoukou high-speed rail control project, the government went up
[00:05:19] and the continuous beam of the connecting line bridge rotated 25 degrees clockwise
[00:05:23] within 40 minutes, achieving precise docking,
[00:05:26] laying the foundation for subsequent bridge erection and construction.
[00:05:30] After the completion of the Pingluo Zhou high-speed rail, it will open up a new high-speed passenger transport channel
[00:05:34] from Northwest China to the Yangtze River Delta. Today, in Beihai, Guangxi,
[00:05:37] a new high-speed railway from Hepu to Zhanjiang
[00:05:41] was started.
[00:05:59] is an important part of the Baoyin-Hai Corridor and the Yan-Hai Corridor in China's eight vertical and eight horizontal high-speed rail network.
[00:06:03] The project is expected to be completed and opened to traffic in 2028,
[00:06:06] which will further expand the railway transport capacity along the coast of Guangxi.
[00:06:10] It will promote the construction of the Beibu Gulf city cluster.
[00:06:12] Today, Shanghai also introduced measures to optimize real estate policies,
[00:06:15] launching eight new policies
[00:06:19] from five aspects: public provident fund withdrawal, housing loans, housing purchase subsidies, etc., which will officially
[00:06:22] take effect tomorrow. First, the down payment
[00:06:26] will be adjusted. The minimum down payment for the first home loan
[00:06:30] will be 15%, and for the second home, differential treatment will be implemented based on the ring road,
[00:06:33] with the lowest being inside the outer ring. The down payment for the second home will be implemented based on the ring road. The minimum down payment for the second home inside the outer ring
[00:06:37] is 15%, and for the second home, differential treatment will be implemented based on the ring road,
[00:06:41] with the lowest being inside the outer ring.
[00:07:12] The use of provident funds has become more flexible. Third, there is a subsidy for replacing old homes with new ones.
[00:07:16] From the date of implementation of the notice until March 31 of next year, if you buy a new home outside the outer ring
[00:07:20] and sell a second-hand home in the city within one year before or after, you will receive a subsidy based on the total loan amount,
[00:07:23] with a maximum of 50,000 yuan. The total subsidy amount is 200 million yuan,
[00:07:27] and it will stop when it runs out. There is also an optimization of the previous
[00:07:31] old-for-new subsidy policy. If you sell a second-hand home
[00:07:35] inside the outer ring within one year before or after,
[00:07:38] you will receive a direct subsidy. In addition, the new policy also has two characteristics:
[00:07:57] the renovation of old areas has added a housing ticket system, giving more choices to households with difficulties. In addition, central urban areas will accelerate the acquisition of second-hand housing
[00:08:01] to increase the supply of affordable housing and thus promote
[00:08:03] housing transactions. Around 5:40 this morning,
[00:08:07] the tropical depression in the South China Sea made landfall along the coast of Longlou Town, Wenchang, Hainan.
[00:08:11] The maximum wind force near the center at landfall was 6. At 17:00 today, its center was located
[00:08:15] within Danzhou City, Hainan Province, with the maximum wind force maintaining level 6.
[00:08:19] It is expected that the tropical depression will move west-northwest at a speed of about 5 kilometers per hour,
[00:08:23] with a slight increase in intensity. Affected by the tropical depression,
[00:08:26] Haikou Xinhua Port, Xiuying Port, and Railway South Port have been closed
[00:08:30] since 16:00 today. The closure is expected to continue until
[00:08:34] tomorrow morning. The specific reopening time will depend
[00:08:38] on the weather conditions. Many coastal areas of Guangdong
[00:08:43] organized offshore operations in advance to shelter from the wind.
[00:08:46] Personnel were evacuated ashore, and
[00:08:49] port inspections and fishing boat protection from wind and accidents were strengthened.
[00:08:53] This morning, reporters saw in a fishing port in Taishan, Guangdong,
[00:08:57] that various fishing boats had already gathered and berthed.
[00:09:01] As of 22:00 last night, all 1,749 fishing boats
[00:09:04] in the waters west of the Pearl River Estuary
[00:09:06] had returned to port to shelter from the wind.
[00:09:10] Affected by the tropical depression in the South China Sea,
[00:09:12] this morning, Wenzhou, Zhejiang, issued a heavy rain warning,
[00:09:16] and many areas experienced short-term heavy rainfall. Local public security,
[00:09:20] transportation, and other departments jointly responded with full effort.
[00:09:24] The Central Meteorological Observatory predicts that in the next three days,
[00:09:28] the eastern and southern coastal areas of China will experience more rainfall.
[00:09:32] It is expected that parts of Hainan Island, southern Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang,
[00:09:36] and Taiwan Island will experience heavy to torrential rain, with localized heavy rain.
[00:09:39] The reporter learned from the National Climate Center that the sea surface temperature in the central and eastern Pacific
[00:09:43] is currently continuously rising and is expected to reach its peak
[00:09:47] around November to December, forming a super El Niño event,
[00:09:51] which is likely to be the strongest on record.
[00:09:54] So what is El Niño, and what kind of impact will it have on China?
[00:09:58] El Niño refers to the phenomenon of large-scale
[00:10:02] and persistent abnormally warm seawater occurring in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean.
[00:10:06] When the sea surface temperature index of the central and eastern Pacific Ocean
[00:10:09] exceeds or reaches 0.5 degrees Celsius for at least five consecutive months,
[00:10:13] it is defined as an El Niño event. According to China's meteorological industry
[00:10:17] national standards, El Niño events are divided into four levels
[00:10:20] based on the absolute value of the peak intensity. 0.5 to 1.3 degrees Celsius
[00:10:24] is a weak event, 1.3 to 2.0 degrees Celsius is
[00:10:28] a moderate event. 2.0 to 2.5 degrees Celsius is a strong event,
[00:10:32] and 2.5 degrees Celsius and above is a super strong event.
[00:10:36] The occurrence of El Niño will be accompanied by the release of huge heat
[00:10:39] from the ocean into the atmosphere, leading to warming in our living environment.
[00:10:43] When this warming is superimposed on global warming,
[00:10:47] it will lead to a significant increase in global average temperature.
[00:10:50] Meteorological experts introduced that the abnormal climate in China this summer
[00:10:54] is largely affected by the rapid development of El Niño. The western Pacific subtropical high
[00:10:58] is located further north and is stronger,
[00:11:02] coupled with frequent intrusions of cold air from the north, leading to two rainy belts
[00:11:06] in China, north and south. Since El Niño is still
[00:11:10] developing rapidly, and its impact is seasonal,
[00:11:14] its impact on China may be more significant
[00:11:17] by next summer. By next summer, the impact of El Niño
[00:11:21] will be more significant than this summer. The rainfall in the central and eastern regions of China
[00:11:25] will generally be higher, especially in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River,
[00:11:29] where the increase in rainfall will be more obvious, and the risk of heavy rain and floods will be higher,
[00:11:33] which may lead to more severe flood conditions. In addition, the high temperatures and heatwaves
[00:11:36] in Jianghuai, Jiangnan, and South China will also be more obvious.
[00:11:40] How will this round of super El Niño events affect global weather?
[00:11:44] Are the heatwaves and high temperatures that frequently occurred in Europe this year
[00:11:48] related to it? According to reports, El Niño
[00:11:51] occurs every two to seven years and lasts about 9 to 12 months.
[00:11:55] Its core impact mechanism is that it breaks the long-term
[00:11:59] heat exchange balance formed between the ocean and the atmosphere.
[00:12:03] This round of El Niño events has increased the likelihood of
[00:12:06] global temperatures breaking high temperature records in 2027. Under the influence of El Niño,
[00:12:10] the atmosphere is like an over-roasted super sponge. In areas with active updrafts,
[00:12:14] this sponge will release far more water than normal,
[00:12:17] triggering extreme heavy rains and floods, while in areas controlled by downdrafts,
[00:12:21] it will lead to increased drought and increased wildfire risk.
[00:12:35] This summer, Europe experienced sustained high temperatures,
[00:12:39] leading to drought or forest fires in many countries.
[00:12:43] On the 19th, the French Ministry of Health stated that during the heatwave in France
[00:12:47] from July 3rd to 22nd, a total of
[00:12:51] 1,243 excess deaths occurred nationwide.
[00:12:55] In Spain, a forest fire suddenly broke out in the west of the Community of Madrid
[00:12:59] on the 19th local time. The fire spread rapidly
[00:13:03] and generated a large amount of smoke, seriously affecting the visibility
[00:13:06] and air quality of the surrounding areas. Regarding the frequent heatwaves
[00:13:10] in Europe currently, relevant experts said that
[00:13:13] this is the result of the combined action of long-term warming and
[00:13:17] the continuously existing alternating patterns of high and low pressure.
[00:13:21] This summer, global high temperatures are indeed very prominent,
[00:13:25] but it cannot be simply attributed to El Niño. More accurately,
[00:13:28] this is the result of the combined action of global warming,
[00:13:32] the development of El Niño, and regional abnormal circulation.
[00:13:36] On July 3rd this year, China's 16th
[00:13:40] Arctic Ocean expedition team set off. The Arctic Ocean expedition team
[00:13:43] set off. The Arctic Ocean expedition team
[00:13:47] set off. The Arctic Ocean expedition team
[00:13:51] set off. The Arctic Ocean expedition team
[00:14:26] a big challenge. Because the Arctic Ocean expedition mission this year is very heavy, in order to seize enough working
[00:14:30] time, we set off nearly a week earlier than in previous years, but
[00:14:34] what followed was more complex ice conditions.
[00:14:36] Did you encounter any difficulties?
[00:14:38] Sea ice problem. Because this year
[00:14:41] we came much earlier than in previous years, the sea ice in the tail section has not yet melted, and the equipment
[00:14:44] underwater deployment will always get stuck in the ice. Considering the tight time and heavy tasks,
[00:14:47] Chief Scientist Jian Feng
[00:14:55] decided immediately to adjust the work order.
[00:14:58] First go north to do ice stations.
[00:15:02] If we start ice stations, we may have the chance to go down to the ice. However, when the ship
[00:15:06] reached 79 degrees north, we got stuck.
[00:15:08] This is a big challenge. Because this year's Arctic Ocean expedition mission is very heavy, in order to seize enough working
[00:15:12] time, we set off nearly a week earlier than in previous years, but
[00:15:16] what followed was more complex
[00:15:17] ice conditions.
[00:16:37] investigation work, two ships collaborating to deeply study the central Arctic Ocean,
[00:16:41] the interaction between the atmosphere, sea ice and ocean,
[00:16:44] is expected to complete all expedition tasks in early October.
[00:16:48] The reporter followed the scientific expedition team to experience ice station operations.
[00:16:52] From the system's perspective,
[00:16:54] we are actually realizing for the first time
[00:16:58] in polar regions to collect samples from the surface layer
[00:17:02] below the ice. Fixed depths of 200 meters
[00:17:06] were rarely done before.
[00:17:08] In addition, after they collaborate, the processing of the data results is what we want to obtain.
[00:17:17] As we were filming, the visibility suddenly became very poor, and everyone rushed back.
[00:17:26] In the North Pole, such situations where visibility suddenly becomes very poor are common. It's like a short-term fog.
[00:17:26] Like us, with visibility of only a few kilometers, for Arctic operations, it is
[00:17:33] this amount of exercise, full of vitality.
[00:19:28] Robot Conference being held in Beijing, with the continuous improvement of model capabilities,
[00:19:32] the application scenarios of giant intelligent robots are becoming increasingly rich.
[00:19:36] It's done.
[00:20:09] The first is very strong generalization. This generalization is reflected in
[00:20:13] what everyone sees on this booth. All of them are dazzling goods,
[00:20:16] and then it picks up whatever order you place. And the second
[00:20:20] is long-term tasks. Two orders, or even five or ten orders,
[00:20:24] can actually be completed. The intelligent robot is completing
[00:20:27] the cross-body task of "one brain, multiple machines".
[00:20:37] You see, this pharmacy service robot and this
[00:20:41] logistics sorting robot, as well as the factory loading and unloading
[00:20:45] robot. They all use
[00:20:49] the same general brain base. Only a small amount of professional
[00:20:52] data learning is needed, and the robot can quickly get to work.
[00:20:56] You see, I am now in a 1:1 simulation of a new energy vehicle
[00:21:00] assembly line. In such a scene,
[00:21:04] we see this very strangely shaped giant
[00:21:07] intelligent robot, he is working in this factory
[00:21:11] to complete the corresponding assembly of zero parts.
[00:21:15] What he is carrying is a charging
[00:21:19] port for a new energy vehicle.
[00:22:20] In Kangzhuang Village, Hehu Town, the post-90s young man Zeng Pengcheng
[00:22:23] was driving an excavator off work. On the way, he volunteered to clean up the weeds
[00:22:27] and muddy water ditches along the road.
[00:22:31] This kind act has been going on for 14 years.
[00:22:35] My simplest idea is that every time I pass by here,
[00:22:38] I see a lot of weeds. Every time I see
[00:22:42] cars passing by here, they can't pass,
[00:22:46] and one car has to go back. This is too much trouble.
[00:23:52] was rushed to the hospital. From that day on, the main source of income for the family
[00:23:55] was about to be cut off. It takes at least half a day
[00:23:58] to deliver the fish ordered by the restaurant.
[00:24:05] But who will watch the stall has become a problem again.
[00:24:09] The stall owners in the wet market all stepped up.
[00:24:13] The stall owners in the wet market all stepped up. The stall owners in the wet market all stepped up.
[00:24:17] The stall owners in the wet market all stepped up. The stall owners in the wet market all stepped up.
[00:25:50] The reporter learned from the National Immigration Administration that starting today, citizens of Kyrgyzstan
[00:25:54] and Vietnam can apply for a 240-hour transit visa policy
[00:25:58] and a 30-day entry to Hainan.
[00:26:02] According to Japanese media
[00:26:34] on the 19th, Japan's Ministry of Defense's 2023 budget application
[00:26:37] will increase by 10 trillion yen, setting a new high.
[00:26:41] The budget includes the development of underwater-launched hypersonic missiles
[00:26:45] that are difficult for enemy forces to attack, as a means of attacking enemy bases.
[00:26:48] It will also promote research on enabling unmanned submarines to launch long-range missiles.
[00:26:52] In addition, the budget application also includes the development of low-cost
[00:26:56] and mass-producible missiles with long ranges
[00:27:00] within a short period of time. We firmly oppose war and
[00:28:17] hope to protect Article 9 of the Constitution. Japan was once an aggressor,
[00:28:20] but high-ranking officials use various word games to deny Japan's history of launching
[00:28:24] wars of aggression. Such a person should not be prime minister,
[00:28:28] he should step down as soon as possible. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced today
[00:28:31] that the Russian Pacific Fleet conducted a planned exercise,
[00:28:35] launching missile strikes against targets near the coast of the Southern Kuril Islands,
[00:28:39] which Japan calls the Northern Territories. The Russian missile cruiser Varyag,
[00:28:42] the nuclear-powered submarine Omsk, and the Bastion coastal defense system
[00:28:46] located on the Kuril Islands participated in the exercise.
[00:28:50] Data released by the U.S. Treasury Department on the 19th showed that
[00:28:53] the total debt of the U.S. federal government reached approximately
[00:28:57] 40.05 trillion U.S. dollars, surpassing 40 trillion U.S. dollars
[00:29:00] for the first time. According to U.S. media reports,
[00:29:04] in less than 10 years, the U.S. federal government debt
[00:29:08] more than doubled, surpassing 40 trillion U.S. dollars,
[00:29:12] marking an exacerbation of the U.S.'s structural crisis and a continuous accumulation of multiple risks.
[00:29:16] U.S. experts say that surging debt, rising interest rates,
[00:29:19] and related political stalemates are eroding the resilience of the U.S. economy.
[00:29:23] Huge interest payments are significantly diverting public financial resources,
[00:29:27] and will continue to have an adverse impact on U.S. fiscal policy.
[00:29:31] Xinjiang is a paradise on earth.
