00:06:30presenting the deep integration of scientific and technological innovation and industrial
00:06:33innovation, and jointly empowering high-value application scenarios
00:06:37in production and life . This year's Internet Light Expo
00:06:41highlights. The exhibition has added many displays and activities
00:06:44for the general public and young people , bringing cutting-edge technology
00:06:48into thousands of households. The first
00:06:52digital consumption market was held , with 1,330
00:06:56new products guaranteed, which everyone can see, feel,
00:07:00buy, and play . At the same time, we held the first artificial
00:07:03intelligence OPC Family Day , allowing our young creators
00:07:07to temporarily get some tools, resources
00:07:11, and partners
00:07:13. It is understood that the 2026 Internet Light Expo will last
00:07:17until November 5th, during which 115
00:07:21digital innovation releases and 10 industry cooperation matchmaking
00:07:29. As of November 2nd, the 140th Canton Fair has had
00:07:32163 overseas industrial and commercial organizations and 494 investment
00:07:36and procurement enterprises participating in groups . Among them, the number of investment and procurement enterprises
00:07:40increased by about 21% year-on-year
00:08:36. We announced that if Iran's demands
00:08:39are met , it is possible that within a short period of time
00:08:42, security will return to the Strait of Hormuz and
00:08:45negotiations will begin . All of this
00:08:48depends on how the American side
00:08:51wants to act regarding
00:08:54the future of this process . According to US media on October 28, the US president's top national security adviser
00:08:58Iranian President Rouhani said
00:10:13on that day that Iran's supreme leader has authorized the government to negotiate
00:10:17a peace deal, and that Iran is working to resolve
00:10:21issues through dialogue . Rouhani emphasized:
00:10:25The enemy cannot make Iran surrender through war. So,
00:10:28from a seven-day plan to a two-day plan, the time has been shortened. Can the Strait of Hormuz
00:10:32restore peace ?
00:10:35To implement this two-day plan, the core
00:10:39difficulties are in several aspects . First, there is still controversy between the US and Iran
00:10:43on 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,
00:10:50the unfreezing of funds and the lifting of sanctions involve the US Treasury Department
00:10:54and Congress, respectively. It is difficult to truly achieve this in the short term. Therefore,
00:10:58from the current version of the plan, whether it is the core goal or the ceasefire
00:11:02framework, or the technical procedures, there are insurmountable
00:11:05obstacles. 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
00:11:13passage and phased opening in the short term. The possibility
00:11:16of the Strait fully returning to its pre-war state is low, and the two-day
00:11:20plan is also unlikely to reverse the current tense situation in the Persian Gulf region
00:11:24. The US president,
00:11:47therefore, still advocates pressure for talks
00:11:48.
00:11:54Then 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
00:12:02through the strait as a negotiable asset, while the US believes that international waterways
00:12:05should be open. Iran wants a permanent ceasefire guarantee, while
00:12:09the US is only willing to give a temporary one. Then, troop withdrawal and compensation are even more unacceptable
00:12:13to the US . November 3rd
00:12:17will mark the official voting day for the US midterm elections. US President
00:12:21Trump 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
00:12:29after 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
00:12:37do 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
00:12:44and therefore continue to pressure the US . At the same time, the forces pushing for military strikes
00:12:48are also very strong. The probability of a full-scale war is relatively low, but the probability of
00:12:52limited, precise strikes is still relatively high. Moreover,
00:12:56special caution should be exercised against Israel taking so-called unilateral actions
00:13:00to deliberately involve the US in regional conflicts
00:13:02. The Iranian military announced on November 2nd
00:13:06that a tanker in the eastern Strait of Hormuz
00:13:10hit a mine in a dangerous area and caught fire. The statement said
00:13:14that the tanker had shut down its navigation system . The statement warned that any
00:13:17vessel that shuts down its identification system and enters the area may
00:13:21face serious consequences. Unauthorized entry is dangerous .
00:14:18A Yemeni security official said on November 1st that Houthi militants
00:14:22launched missiles that day, attacking .
00:14:34Houthi militants also attacked a medical center in Lahj province, southern Yemen , causing casualties
00:14:38.
00:14:41According to the Times of Israel on November 2nd , the Israeli military said its forces
00:14:45had 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
00:14:56that on October 23rd, two Palestinians launched an attack at a checkpoint
00:15:00in Hebron, killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring
00:15:04three 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
00:15:15suspects were detained. The report said that Israeli Chief of Staff Zamir reportedly
00:15:19suggested 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
00:15:41to introduce the archaeological work and the 15th Five-Year Plan. The plan
00:15:44clarifies 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
00:15:59the 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 。
00:16:25Among them, maternity benefit expenditures amounted to 78.161 billion yuan
00:16:29, fully realizing direct payments to individuals . As of
00:16:33now, the number of participants in national maternity insurance has reached 260 million
00:16:37. Three provinces and 216 coordinated areas have included flexible
00:16:40employment personnel in the coverage . 31 provinces and 322
00:16:44coordinated areas have implemented in-hospital delivery fee exemptions within the policy scope, with no
00:16:48out-of-pocket expenses for individuals . All provinces
00:16:52have included assisted reproductive technologies in the payment scope , and fully realized the inclusion of painless delivery
00:16:56in 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
00:17:03employment personnel, migrant workers, and new employment forms personnel in public medical insurance
00:17:07to also participate in maternity insurance , reasonably improve the level of prenatal
00:17:10examination coverage , and guide local exploration and formulation of
00:17:14a basic service package covering heart monitoring, obstetric ultrasound
00:17:18, and other basic prenatal examinations . This can be covered by outpatient special
00:17:22maternity payments. Continue to improve the medical insurance payment management for assisted
00:17:26reproductive technology projects , and promote the basic realization of
00:17:30in-hospital delivery fee exemptions within the policy scope with no out-of-pocket expenses for individuals.
00:17:34Further 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
00:17:53Region Education Department and the Nagqu City organization, teachers and students were transported
00:17:57in batches to the Nagqu Complete Middle School in Lhasa to resume classes
00:18:00.
00:18:02It is now past 11 PM on October 1st. After more than ten
00:18:06hours,
00:18:38Lhasa Nagqu Complete Middle School is a public boarding school
00:18:42run 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
00:18:54surplus capacity. The school has arranged classrooms, dormitories, and
00:18:57daily necessities for the students in the town in advance, ensuring that teachers and students have
00:19:01sufficient supplies . In addition, the school has
00:19:05also arranged medical personnel and psychological counselors .
00:20:07Let'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
00:20:19light to moderate snow or rain with snow . Among them, central Heilongjiang will have heavy
00:20:22snow or blizzards . From the 4th to the 7th
00:20:26, affected by a cold air mass, Inner Mongolia , Northeast China, North China to
00:20:30northern Jiangnan and other places will experience a temperature drop of 4 to 8 degrees Celsius from north to
00:20:34south, with local drops exceeding 10 degrees Celsius, accompanied by winds of 5 to
00:20:50The situation will now turn to the United States. On November 3rd, the US midterm elections will
00:20:54usher in the official voting day. As of local time on October 31st
00:20:58, a record 50 million people have voted early. This
00:21:02election 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
00:21:10in Congress for the next two years , as well as their influence in various states
00:21:14. So, before the midterm elections officially
00:21:18open for voting, the Republican and Democratic parties have already
00:22:02Said on the evening of the 1st that Stevens' actions
00:22:05were irrelevant. What matters is that the people of Michigan are struggling
00:22:09to cope with the cost of living crisis . Reuters said that Stevens'
00:22:13move was an unexpected assist to the Republican Party
00:22:17. Many Democrats openly condemned Stevens. The Michigan
00:22:20Democratic Party chairman announced that he would kick him out of the party, while US
00:22:24President Trump praised Stevens as unprecedentedly loyal to Michigan
00:22:28and welcomed him to join the Republican Party. Mike Rogers, who was supported
00:22:32by Stevens, said he was proud to have his vote
00:22:35.
00:23:20Scene 2: Mother and daughter turn against each other . In the Ohio gubernatorial
00:23:24election, Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy challenged Democratic candidate Amy
00:23:28Acton. Ramaswamy's campaign team invited Acton's
00:23:32mother, Donna Arthur, to appear in and produce a highly
00:23:35aggressive campaign ad , and heavily funded its promotion
00:23:39. In the ad, Donna Arthur
00:23:43called her daughter a liar with serious problems, denying
00:23:46her 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
00:24:10chose to flee. Acton and her brother subsequently left their mother
00:24:14. Acton's brother said that their biological mother continued to maintain
00:24:17her marriage with their stepfather until 2
00:24:26You probably have been hearing by now that I had
00:24:29a pretty rough childhood grown up and now my opponent
00:24:33has chosen to exploit
00:24:36intentionally this
00:24:43a desperate attempt to save his struggling
00:24:47campaign this is so...
00:25:10What exactly are the US midterm elections about? According to polls, what is the current election situation of the Democratic and Republican parties ? What dilemmas
00:25:13in American politics do these midterm elections reflect ? Let's watch a short video to
00:25:17find out .
00:25:21Question 1: What are the US midterm elections for?
00:25:28This is a mobilization slogan used by the US president at rallies in multiple states, but midterm elections do not elect. every
00:25:40two years we have another important election where we choose all
00:25:44435 members of the house of representatives, a third of
00:25:48our senators and a whole lot.
00:26:02This will affect the balance of power between the two parties and the president's policy space
00:26:06for the next two years
00:26:06.
00:26:13Currently, 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
00:26:21agenda, 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
00:26:28and 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
00:26:36two, what is the current election situation of the two major US parties? Election
00:26:40summary. Major non-partisan election analysis organizations, Cook Political
00:26:43Report and Election Inside, predict that the Democratic Party is expected
00:26:47to gain 12 to 30 seats in the House of Representatives, far exceeding the
00:26:51three seats needed to flip it. In the Senate , the Democratic Party needs to compete for four
00:26:55seats to reach the 51 seats needed to control it. Many organizations
00:26:59believe that currently, both parties in the Senate government
00:28:37also 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
00:28:44of party politics. It has no meaning for responding to the demands of the American people
00:28:47or for addressing the concerns of American voters about their livelihoods
00:28:51.
00:28:54Let's look at the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations announced on November 2nd
00:28:57that its mobile application was subjected to a large-scale cyberattack
00:29:01that day.
00:29:22The department is currently taking measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
00:30:02The system was valid from October 27th to November 1st
00:30:06. He said that all parties are currently working together to continue humanitarian
00:30:10aid operations , and residents remaining in Aleppo
00:30:13still need help . So, how likely is it that such humanitarian ceasefires
00:30:17or relief operations will be replicated in other conflict areas? Also, why does
00:30:21Russia hope that Turkey will facilitate talks? Under the current situation, is direct communication
00:30:25between Russian and Ukrainian leaders at an appropriate time
00:30:28? Let's hear the expert's analysis .
00:30:50Through this operation, Russia successfully completed the evacuation of civilians from the war zone, which to some extent improved its international
00:30:54image. It also
