台南市消防局救災救護指揮中心中午11時14分據報，安南區府安路六段與樂活路交叉口建築工地，54歲楊姓工人不慎墜落3米深地下室，頭部則撞擊H鋼梁螺絲釘頭，後腦有穿刺傷，經緊急送往永康奇美醫院搶救，有生命危險。

南區職業安全衛生中心等現勘，認建築工地無防墜設施且楊未戴安全帽，有明顯缺失，立即要求停工改善外，釐清工安意外原因。

現場工地主任向警方及勞檢單位表示，楊應是不小心跌落3米深的工地地下室。楊後腦有穿刺傷，因工地現場空間狹窄，搬運不易，救護人員請求支援繩索，工地人員也徵調吊車前往支援，直至中午12時，順利將傷者吊掛上來，但人昏迷瞳孔放大，經救護車送永康奇美醫院急救，仍在搶救中，有生命危險。

警方鑑識人員及南區職業安全衛生中心派員現勘，釐清工安意外原因。南區職業安全衛生中心指出，目前傷者仍在搶救當中，已與工地主任保持密切連繫。該中心強調，工地現場未設相關防墜設施且傷者未戴安全帽，有明顯缺失，立即要求停工改善。

中國大陸福建泉州一處用於隔離新冠肺炎密切接觸者的旅館，今晚7時許倒塌，約70多人受困，截至晚間近11時已救出35人。據稱，這座建築原先為鋼結構建築，事發前曾進行地基施工。

《中央社》綜合陸媒報導，晚間7時許，福建省泉州市鯉城區南環路的欣佳酒店發生倒塌。鯉城區工作人員表示，這座旅館是當地用於隔離2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID-19，俗稱新冠肺炎）密切接觸者的隔離點。

這間旅館於2018年6月開業，共有80間客房。報導引述附近一間商戶表示，旅館原先是鋼結構建築，可能用於停車場或廠房，後來被旅館老闆接手，重新裝修。一位員工則表示，事發前旅館房東曾對房屋進行過與地基相關的施工。

目睹大樓倒塌的目擊者則表示，晚間7時20分，他聽到欣佳酒店傳來巨大聲響，以為是爆炸，出門一看，發現巨響來自酒店的鋼化玻璃碎裂，「然後就眼見著整棟樓倒塌下來，露出裡面的鋼結構，這是不到幾秒鐘的時間」。

報導表示，福建消防總隊已調派泉州消防救援支隊26車147人趕赴現場救援，並調派廈門、莆田、福州消防救援支隊3支重型地震救援隊增援。

澳洲一名音樂家來台演出後，於境外確診新冠肺炎，因男子入境台灣時已出現咳嗽症狀，研判為先前在境外時染疫。資深媒體人董智森怒轟，現在他們是神，他偏偏就是要怒戰天神。

中央流行疫情指揮中心6日公開音樂家來台活動時序，並匡列147名接觸者，7日匡列的接觸者再增至400多人，其中7人需進行採檢，2人陰性，其餘採檢中。

陳時中說澳洲音樂家與觀眾距離2公尺，董智森怒轟，胡說八道，難道澳洲音樂家不吃不喝不睡？且澳洲音樂家有坐到觀眾席上，陳時中的研判是錯的！

董智森指出，政府輕描淡寫，說不嚴重。如果不嚴重，為何要隔離？澳洲音樂家在入境時就被咳嗽，在台灣還去看醫生，參加表演，回到澳洲馬上確診。

董智森舉例，如果在大陸台商咳嗽，會不會讓台商上飛機？不會，當時武漢包機有3個人被拉下來，沒辦法上飛機。但澳洲人可以，澳洲人有咳嗽，為何可以上飛機？她如果是台商或是大陸人，一定不會讓他上飛機。

董智森說，武漢台商後來也沒有再增加確診人數，全中國大陸台商只有3人確診，2個在武漢，1個在深圳，而且都已痊癒。

董智森諷刺，因為他們是神，不能罵他們，每天都在歌頌他們，根本天天在搞政治，看不下去！

國家中山科學研究院大樹院區6日晚發生工安意外，重傷的吳建騏年紀最輕，他原在南科工作，一年多前轉職中科院大樹院區服務，工作地點就在住家路口，當里長的父親吳順治還是同單位的「前輩」，但這次他遭火吻，燒傷面積超逾八成，吳順治向親友透露，愛子狀況恐不樂觀，他已經心裡有數。

大樹區和山里長吳順治面對兒子傷重，外表雖保持鎮靜，血壓卻不斷飆高，一整夜無法闔眼的他，昨早又面對中科院長、區公所及諸多親友關切，只能吞了兩顆降血壓藥強打精神。吳家人獲知吳建騏燒傷面積超過8成，眼淚不自覺奔流，憂心全寫在臉上。

國家中山科學研究院大樹院區是研發國防武器的重要基地，除招募的員工外，外人無從了解一二。住大樹區的吳順治、吳建騏父子，是少數進這個「軍事祕密基地」服務的父子檔。

前晚中科院大樹院區驚傳工安意外，吳建騏重傷，從大樹院區退休的吳順治熟知廠區作業模式，知道火工製程發生意外在所難免，並未多做苛責，但內心已有準備。

他說，兒子轉職中科院後，他常耳提面命，要多注意安全，沒想到難逃意外。若有「萬一」，那就是為國犧牲了。

大樹區興山里長尹平成說，中科院大樹院區30多年來，共發生3次重大事故，30多年前首次爆炸時，3、4百公斤的鐵件飛了1公里遠，鄰近房屋都震裂，94年廠內處理廢棄物又爆，里鄰曾抗議要求遷離，但抗議歸抗議，軍方很難「喬」。

前晚歷經大火的中科院大樹院區恢復平靜，起火原因仍在追查。記者王昭月／攝影愛子燒傷在加護病房觀察，當里長的父親吳順治憂心全寫在臉上。記者王昭月／攝影

新冠肺炎疫情「核彈」加劇，金融市場陷入恐慌，美國聯準會（Fed）3日一口氣降息2碼，美股強勁反彈後，又迅速恢復跌勢。諾貝爾學者警告，留意後續兩大發展，一是疫情對美國經濟衝擊愈來愈嚴重；其次是Fed的救市政策受限；他認為，美國對抗經濟重創的避震器已不堪使用，未來的路可能很顛簸，所有人要做好準備。

諾貝爾經濟學獎得主克魯曼（Paul Krugman）在紐約時報撰文表示，2000年出現網路泡沫危機，當時聯準會的短期利率高於6%，即使Fed大幅降息5個百分點救市，仍難以阻擋美股崩盤和經濟衰退的到來。

2020年的今天，聯準會於3日降息0.5個百分點之前，利率只有1.5%左右，降息空間遠比20年前少太多。而海外其他主要央行的處境更慘，歐洲短期利率已經是負數，意味著歐洲央行幾乎沒有任何降息空間。

至於接下來會發生什麼事呢？克魯曼說撇開股市，從經濟面來看，後續會發生兩件事，首先是疫情對美國的經濟打擊將愈來愈嚴重；其次，聯準會和其他央行可運用的政策空間更加匱乏。

他指出，美國對抗經濟衝擊的避震器幾乎已不堪使用，未來的路可能很顛簸，所有人都要有心理準備。

三發地產董事長鍾俊榮2019年9月與董娘楊顯玲及其兒子發生爭端，過去就有憂鬱症病史的鍾俊榮被妻兒送進台北市立聯合醫院松德院區，也就是俗稱的「精神科專科醫院」。鍾俊榮表示，自己在友人及立法委員協助下「逃出」松德院區，今年2月中旬向媒體公布過程。

模範企業家夫妻檔 反目成仇

「我看到鍾董夫妻不和的新聞被爆出來，一點都不驚訝。」一位認識鍾俊榮的高雄建築業者透露，在他眼中，兩人原是業界稱羨的夫妻檔，直到楊顯玲逐漸掌權後，兩人之間的衝突隨之升高，「有一次三發在辦公室開主管會議，結果鍾俊榮與楊顯玲兩人意見不合，當著眾多主管面前對罵，讓下面主管不禁面面相覷。」

房地產同業印象深刻，過去三發辦尾牙，鍾俊榮每次上台致詞一定不忘公開表達：「我這輩子最要感謝的人就是老婆楊顯玲，沒有她，就沒有今天的我。」甚至對太太大聲說：「我愛妳！」沒想到昔日恩愛，如今卻反目。鍾俊榮接受《今周刊》專訪時指控妻子不讓他查帳，「這幾年賺的兩百億元不知道跑哪裡去？」

隨著新聞曝光，凸顯三發公司嚴重的治理問題。首先是董事長鍾俊榮對三發的推案銷售確切數字、公司財務一問三不知，是否適任，小股東恐怕也有疑問；其次，楊顯玲雖為大股東，卻非董事也未掛名任何管理職務，照理無權阻擋董事長調閱帳簿，且加上未有職務卻掌控公司經營，也不符合公司治理原則；其三，三發去年未發布過任何一則有關鍾俊榮入院一事的重大訊息，亦有罔顧小股東權益之嫌。

對於第三點，拓威法律事務所合夥律師蕭富庭表示，董事長因病入院，尤其是精神疾病最嚴重可能會因為受到監護宣告（舊稱禁治產）而成為「限制行為能力人或無行為能力人」，因而失去當董事的資格，遑論擔任董事長。

「如果要調閱帳簿，鍾俊榮目前唯一可以做的就是進行訴訟，不過屆時公司品牌、形象都會很差。」蕭富庭指出。

重訊撇清老董家務事之影響

目前為止，經媒體報導過後，三發僅發布「……相關報載係董事長個人私人事情之新聞；本公司特此澄清說明，蓋與本公司無關；本公司目前營運及財務一切正常，不受影響。」完全撇清董事長健康狀況以及「治理層級之間的爭端」對三發之影響。

實習記者羅明輝／綜合報導

新冠肺炎疫情在全球蔓延，又以義大利、日本等國最為嚴重。受到疫情影響，義大利F-35戰鬥機工廠要求部分員工在家工作；日本三菱重工則是宣布暫時關閉工廠一周，整個F-35的組裝與驗證作業都已陷入停擺。

綜合《商業內幕》（Business Insider）及《防務一號》（Defense One）報導，美國國防部一名高級官員4日透露，洛克希德馬丁公司（Lockheed Martin）考量到疫情因素，目前已經暫停了日本三菱重工工廠的「F-35戰鬥機生產作業」

對此，國防部發言人安德魯斯（Mike Andrews）也隨即透過電子郵件聲明，三菱重工是為了遵守日本的病毒防控指令，才決定暫時關閉工廠戰鬥機組裝與測試設施一周。

至於義大利方面，國防部採購、科技與後勤部次長蘿德（Ellen Lord）提到，義大利李奧納多公司（Leonardo）經營的卡梅里（Cameri）組裝工廠及負責製造發動機的普惠（Pratt & Whitney）公司，近日也聽取洛克希德馬丁的建議，陸續要求員工在家工作，即便如此，戰機的交付進度並不會因此延後。

蘿德強調，「除了F-35戰鬥機以外，目前我們都沒有看到其他全球供應鏈的美製武器有受到新冠病毒疫情影響，即使真的造成影響，我們也有一支團隊專門來負責處理相關問題。」

洛克希德馬丁發言人埃史沃思（Brett Ashworth）補充，F-35戰鬥機的大部分生產項目都是在美國德州沃斯堡（Fort Worth）完成，組裝和設備檢查的部分才是交給三菱重工和李奧納多的工廠，因此生產沒有因為疫情就延誤。他說明，「目前我們正持續與客戶、合作夥伴進行溝通，希望降低義大利和日本國際組裝工廠關閉所產生的影響。」

埃史沃思最後也說道，「員工的身體健康和安全一直都是我們的首要任務,，而且也遵循美國國務院的警告，我們建議都員工避免前往或過境義大利。」

有段影片近日在網路上瘋傳，一台直升機降落在南非西北大學校園，原本以為出了什麼事，結果竟然只是學生家長要「送書包給兒子」，讓一旁的同學看傻了眼。

綜合外媒報導，南非西北大學位於范德比爾公園的瓦爾校區上月28日有學生拍下這段過程，一台直升機突然降落在學校的停車場，然後一位男同學默默地走過去，只見直升機的門打開後，有人遞給男同學一個書包就立刻開走了。

影片中可以聽到，附近的學生發出一片驚呼的聲音，也有人說「這同學是哪位？」、「蛤直升機開來就為了給書包？」

這名男同學表示，他的爸媽因為怕開車會塞車，所以決定開直升機來替他送書包。據了解，這台直升機是羅賓遜R44 Raven，價值30萬英鎊（約台幣1167萬元），飛行1小時的燃料費要150英鎊（約台幣5800元），最高時速可達140英里，飛行300英里以上。

記者郭世賢／新北報導

全國防制新冠肺炎疫情期間！新北市貢寮區卻有不肖業者，違規傾倒大量營建土方共約1萬8000立方，經新北市政府現場查獲後，已將行為人移送地檢署偵辦，並現場查扣3台機具。因傾倒廢土致生水土流失且侵占國有土地，情節重大，新北政府6日下午由副市長謝政達召開公安專案會議，針對違規行為向上游營建土方予以徹查嚴懲。

農業局指出，近日貢寮區和美里山區相當不平靜，前於2月時有不肖業者，在和美街58號附近山坡地坑溝傾倒大量土石及磚瓦等營建混合物，面積約3000平方公尺。新北市農業局會同貢寮區公所及瑞芳警分局現場稽查，於第一時間勒令業者停工，並查扣挖土機1台，警方已將業者移送基隆地檢署偵辦。

▲ 貢寮區和美里山區有不肖業者，在和美街58號附近山坡地坑溝傾倒大量土石及磚瓦等營建混合物。

農業局表示，該業者又於3月初，於貢寮西靈巖寺下方邊坡再度傾倒土方，再遭市府查獲，現場行為人宣稱是做為停車場使用。但未依規定申請，新北市府於3月5日現場稽查，確認有竊佔公有土地及致生水土流失，針對該行為人再次予以移送基隆地檢署，並查扣現場作業機具2台。

因貢寮山坡地連續遭到傾倒廢土，市府6日由副市長謝政達召開公安專案會議，針對該違規行為除依水土保持法、山坡地保育利用條例裁處外，並循線追查上游土方來源，涉及不法建築工地未依規定管制土方流向，將依建築法勒令停工。另違規土地位於都市計畫區內，將另以都市計畫法、廢棄物清理法等相關規定查處，並要求業者將廢土移出恢復原狀。

農業局表示，山坡地擅自開挖整地、堆積土石之行為，已違反水土保持法，依規定，最高可裁罰30萬元。情節重大者，移送法辦。本案屬連續違規行為，有明顯犯意，且行為致生水土流失及竊佔他人土地除行為人移送地檢署偵辦，並要求行為人限期改正將廢土移出，未改正者連續處罰。

記者許力方／綜合報導

春天後母面，中央氣象局表示，春天天氣變化快速，2、3天就變一次，陰晴不定，8日各地高溫普遍可達25度以上，北東開始出現局部短暫雨，9日（下周一）晚間起，一道鋒面靠近，天氣將明顯轉變，中部以北、東北部將轉有短暫陣雨，有時雨勢會較明顯，且這道鋒面結構完整，10日（下周二）通過時全台都有雨。

氣象局預報，8日鋒面通過北部海面，大氣環境更不穩定一些，北部、東半部地區有局部短暫雨，中南部山區偶有小飄雨現象，中南部平地維持多雲到晴。各地 清晨低溫約18度，相當舒適，高溫普遍在25度以上，中南部可達30度，日夜溫差大。

9日（下周一）上半天風向為偏南風，各地天氣穩定，氣溫偏高，白天各地高溫都在27度以上，其中大台北、中南部及台東甚至會出現30度左右高溫；晚起鋒面接近，天氣明顯轉變，中部以北及東北部將轉為有短暫陣雨的天氣，有時候雨勢會比較明顯一些。

10日（下周二）鋒面通過及東北季風增強，這道鋒面結構完整，全台都有局部短暫陣雨或雷雨，其中中部以北及宜花雨勢較明顯，有局部大雨發生機率，北台灣在鋒面通過後氣溫將明顯下降。

氣象局預估，11日（下周三）東北季風接力影響，北台灣整天偏涼，其他早晚也有涼意，清晨是這波涼空氣影響最明顯時候，北台灣低溫剩14度，中部及花蓮16度，南部及台東也只有18度。

天氣風險公司6日也預報，入春後天氣節奏逐漸加快，周末南風吹起，天氣很快回暖，各地高溫上看27至30度，但10日凌晨開始，北方鋒面南下，由於預期鋒面結構佳，北部、中部會有很高的機會出現雷陣雨，且會伴隨短時間內較大雨勢，鋒面快速通過後，氣溫將明顯下滑，北部低溫落在14度左右。

天氣風險公司指出，11日後冷空氣很快減弱，12日再度回暖，但13日（下周五）會有另一波更強的冷空氣報到，各地再度降溫、北部轉雨。未來一周天氣的節奏相當快速。

宋讚養接著也表示，這些宗教到了現在還不斷地將勢力擴張到海外，且「突然都變成是純潔的宗教」，讓他既憂心又感到無言。他介紹新天地教會的影片，目前在YouTube、臉書上都各自有超過160萬的觀看次數，造成相當大的迴響，然而卻也因此收到新天地的來信要求「將影片下架」。

此外，宋讚養也提到，目前南韓知名的幾個「偽宗教」（사이비），包含新天地、攝理教、母帝等「都來嗆過他」，但他不僅完全不在意，還宣布會再做最後一支影片來收尾「南韓邪教」這個主題。

宋讚養最後表示，之後拍的邪教總整理影片，歡迎相關人士的指點與反駁，但他也強調不要以「這不是真的」之類的說法想辯駁，因為自己只會將事實點出來，「我會說的是真的，只是你們被蒙住眼睛而已」，但他也無力地提及，已經在這些組織內的人就算看了他的影片也不會清醒：「反正他們死都不會相信，我做影片是要給一般人看的。」

隨後插畫家「兜四爺」曬出2張油畫，一張是山頭上的男子和2台車，一張是斷頭隨氣球飄，隨後貼文秒刪，掀起網友議論。原來孟美岐的油畫是臨摹，並非出自原創，網友因此提醒偶像「搞到藝術家」、「注意版權啊。」

記者李湘文／綜合報導

藝人吳尊帶老婆林麗吟上節目《婚前21天》，揭開早在出道前就已婚的事實，引發欺騙粉絲爭議，還被網友爆料挑日子讓老婆剖腹產，只為了兒女的生日能跟爸媽同天。不過，工作室在7日晚間發表聲明，駁斥挑日子剖腹產的說法，要求造謠的人刪除內容，並停止再傳播。

陸網近日流傳吳尊要求老婆剖腹，讓女兒NeiNei跟他一樣在10月10日生，兒子Max則跟林麗吟一樣在10月11日生，然而因為提前剖腹有風險，其中一次造成孕婦大出血。消息雖無證據，但部分網友信以為真、對吳尊指責連連，在網路上引發議論。

▲吳尊近日才曝光出道前就已婚的事實，讓部分粉絲很氣憤。（圖／翻攝自微博／婚前21天）

對此，吳尊工作室透過微博發表嚴正聲明：「近日，各大網路平台出現部分關於吳尊要求妻子於特定日期生產、吳尊要求妻子提前進行剖宮產、吳尊妻子曾遇生產危險等不實言論，對此本工作室聲明如下：上述相關言論均系造謠者憑空捏造或歪曲事實的惡意解讀，嚴重背離事實。」

工作室澄清，吳尊夫妻在生活中一直互敬互愛，NeiNei和Max也是在父母細心照料下足月、健康出生，「該等謠言的發布及傳播對吳尊夫婦造成極大傷害，造成極其惡劣的影響。我們強烈譴責造謠者，並保留向造謠者追究相關法律責任的權利。」他們也呼籲傳播謠言的人立刻刪除，希望大家一起維護積極健康的網路使用環境。

日期:3月7日20:30(英國當地時間12:30)，2019/20賽季英超第28輪一場焦點戰在安菲爾德球場展開爭奪，利物浦主場對陣伯恩茅斯。

利物浦近5戰伯恩茅斯取得全勝，打入17球且零封對手。這是雙方歷史第17場交鋒，此前利物浦12勝3平1負優勢明顯。利物浦上輪負於沃特福德，本賽季不敗戰績和18連勝均遭終結。阿德里安、戈麥斯和米爾納輪換出場。

伯恩茅斯第9分鐘取得領先，威爾遜搶斷戈麥斯，比林傳球，萊爾馬禁區右側傳中，威爾遜近距離推射入網。克洛普投訴威爾遜有犯規動作，但裁判未予理會。利物浦5分鐘后險些再次丟球，弗雷澤開出角球，阿克小禁區前頭槌攻門被阿德里安撲出。阿諾德長傳，菲爾米諾禁區內射門被撲出。

利物浦第25分鐘扳平比分，馬內搶斷剛剛替補出場的辛普森後傳球，薩拉赫16碼處低射右下角入網，1-1。利物浦第33分鐘擴大比分，范戴克中圈斷球後送出直傳，馬內12碼處單刀推射入網，2-1。薩拉赫長傳，米爾納禁區左側凌空墊射正入拉姆斯戴爾下懷。斯坦尼斯拉斯禁區前勁射被撲出。

利物浦(4-3-3)：13-阿德里安；66-阿諾德，12-戈麥斯，4-范戴克，7-米爾納；15-張伯倫，3-法比尼奧，5-維納爾杜姆；11-薩拉赫，9-菲爾米諾，10-馬內

伯恩茅斯(4-3-3)：12-拉姆斯戴爾；17-斯泰西，3-庫克(19',25-辛普森)，5-阿克，15-亞當-史密斯；29-比林，8-萊爾馬，16-劉易斯-庫克；19-斯坦尼斯拉斯，13-威爾遜，24-弗雷澤

title: 對話|張偉麗：UFC衛冕只是小目標 夢想進名人堂

content_text:
日期:3月8日中午，中國首位UFC冠軍張偉麗將在拉斯維加斯迎來自己的首場衛冕戰，她的對手是UFC歷史上連續衛冕次數第二多的前冠軍喬安娜。

這是一場新老冠軍的狹路相逢，而喬安娜的種種荒誕表現讓比賽從宣布一刻就充溢著火藥味……

1月份在社交媒體上P出一張自己戴著防毒面具的照片，賽前發佈會上又用垃圾話不停挑釁張偉麗，這位波蘭女將不斷秀出「下限」。當下很多中國觀眾和網友紛紛認為喬安娜的行為已經傷害到中國人的感情，作為即將在八角籠內和喬安娜直面的張偉麗，她會給出怎樣的回應呢？賽前，澎湃新聞記者獨家專訪了張偉麗，聽聽她怎麼說。

堅信比賽永遠是用拳腳說話

「她很無聊，也很無知，在別人身處苦難的時候還在嘲笑，我們中國的文化向來是會對身處苦難中的人伸出援手，（對此）我感到很氣憤……」張偉麗直言不諱喬安娜有多麼荒唐。

事實上，一個多月前喬安娜發出那張影射中國疫情的P圖時，張偉麗第一時間也做出了評價，張偉麗認為拿悲劇開玩笑，體現了一個人的品格素養。

她告訴喬安娜，「如果你覺得抨擊我，能讓你變得更強大，那去做吧，但別拿這件事開玩笑，願你在3月7日（美國時間）前都健康，我很快就和和你見面。「

張偉麗的意思很明確，UFC終究要靠拳腳說話。

對於即將到來的大戰，她的回答簡單而直接，「只要喬安娜能想到的，我都已經做好準備了，無論她怎麼打，我都可以搞定。」這是一種屬於冠軍的自信，進入UFC后張偉麗保持全勝，去年8月份在深圳舉行的冠軍賽中，她僅用42秒就擊潰安德拉德，為中國拿下第一條UFC金腰帶。

縱觀張偉麗的整個MMA生涯，也只輸掉過一場比賽（20勝1負），唯一一場失利是她職業生涯的首場比賽；反觀喬安娜，雖然曾經統治女子草量級長達兩年，先後打過6場冠軍賽，但從2017年被踢下王座之後，她先後挑戰娜瑪尤納斯與舍甫琴科都告失利。

UFC掌門人白大拿賽前就把寶押在了張偉麗身上，「她一直在刻苦訓練，比我見過的99%的男選手都要優秀，喬安娜？她把太多的時間花在沙灘上了。」著名的格鬥迷、NFL傳奇巨星布雷迪也看好張偉麗，「喬安娜身高臂長，不屈不撓，但張偉麗是更好的那一個，我認為她甚至被低估了。我一直在關注她的比賽，我是她的忠實粉絲，這場比賽張偉麗會以KO方式拿下。」

目標升級別，進入名人堂

在不同場合被一個新人、新冠軍一直搶去風頭，喬安娜的憤懣可想而知，她甚至於公開反駁白大拿「多管閑事」。

她的口無遮攔既有賽前宣傳的需要，似乎也是在發泄內心的不滿，但喬安娜的憤怒顯然找錯了方向。一些業內人士談及喬安娜調侃疫情的行為就認為「出格」了。當然，未來不到24小時內，一切的恩怨是非都將在八角籠中得到解決。

在喬安娜不斷表達自己對此戰獲勝的饑渴時，張偉麗顯然看得更遠，

「先定一個小目標的話，就是順利拿下這場比賽，我要做無可爭議的草量級冠軍，之後會升一個級別比賽。挑戰更強者，在我看來是一件很爽的事情，最後我希望能夠進入名人堂。」

在積極備戰的同時，張偉麗也心系國內，「因為時差，和家人聯繫的比較少，經常這裡是白天，家裡人都睡了，有時候他們有時間，我又在忙於訓練，到美國后只和媽媽視頻了一次，我也有些朋友身在武漢，現在我知道他們都挺好，都安全了。」

事實上，因為疫情影響（無法直飛），這次張偉麗遠征美國一路波折：21日她從北京飛泰國，待了一周，又轉道阿布扎比，在阿布扎比拿到簽證后才啟程前往最終的目的地。

按照張偉麗的話說，滿世界的飛，確實挺辛苦，但她希望能為祖國、為所有的同胞打一場讓自己不留遺憾的比賽。

「這場比賽對我意味著很多，我希望獲勝並把這場勝利作為一種精神鼓舞帶回祖國，希望這次疫情能很快結束，我相信通過我們的努力，這會成為現實。我們將完美地結束這一切，中國也會變得更好。」

根據某不願透露姓名的NBA記者報導，聯盟公佈了一項處罰決定，獨行俠老闆庫班因對裁判的公開批評以及不當行為被罰款50萬美元，並拒絕獨行俠要求重賽與老鷹最後幾秒鐘比賽的請求。

算上這50萬罰款，庫班作為獨行俠老闆的20年裡，已經累計被罰款超過300萬美元，達到311.5萬美元。

311.5萬美元罰款還不包括庫班向慈善機構捐贈的1000萬美元。此前獨行俠傳出辦公室性騷擾醜聞，按規定聯盟最多能向獨行俠開出250萬美元罰單，但通過捐款這種方式可以讓庫班變相繳納更多的罰款。

庫班也算是美國本土聲名顯赫的商人之一，想不到在罰款方面，跟NBA比起來就是弟弟。

言歸正傳！上月23號，獨行俠惜敗老鷹的比賽中，決定勝負時刻關於干擾球的判罰引起很大爭議。

特雷楊上籃不中，科林斯跟進補籃成功，裁判先是吹罰了干擾球，隨後取消了該判罰，一系列瞎操作后又加上了科林斯補籃的兩分。

圍甲熱身賽兩輪戰罷，重慶融創隊1分，濰坊高新區0分，兩隊都急需一場勝利來提振士氣。重慶隊本輪依舊是世界冠軍楊鼎新領銜一眾新銳，教練兼隊員的古力並未出戰；濰坊高新區則繼續排出三世界冠軍的豪華陣容。

儘管劉國梁提到伊藤美誠打球是敢死隊的打法，等酒勁兒過去就不行了，但當丁寧在卡達公開賽大比分0-4慘敗給伊藤，事實證明，伊藤的酒勁兒一時半會是過不去了，不管是展望這次卡達公開賽女單決戰，還是憧憬東奧女單金牌之爭，伊藤都是國乒通往冠軍寶座的攔路虎，如何打敗她，仍是一道不容易破解的難題。

丁寧雖然進入東奧周期以來，狀態有下滑趨勢，但在去年澳大利亞公開賽和今年德國公開賽對陣伊藤都是笑到最後。不過出乎所有人預料的是，丁寧在卡達公開賽上面對伊藤的搏殺，被打得沒有任何還手之力，甚至在第三局輸了一個0-11。

誠然，從交鋒紀錄來看，輸掉本場比賽的丁寧依然以11勝4負佔據絕對優勢。但進入到東京奧運周期以來，伊藤已經在2018年瑞典公開賽、2019年中國公開賽以及這次卡達賽上，總共三次拿下丁寧，當贏球不再是偶然，伊藤對國乒女隊的威脅就成為不爭的事實。

2018年瑞典站無疑是伊藤的「封神之戰」，她在落後情況下連續挑落劉詩雯和丁寧，而決戰更是4-0橫掃朱雨玲奪冠。當時這個結果十分吸引眼球，不過在很多人看來，伊藤不過是又一個平野美宇，但事實勝於雄辯，伊藤不是那個在亞錦賽奪冠后就患上「燃盡綜合症」的平野，她從瑞典站到這次卡達公開賽，都成為國乒女隊令人頭疼的對手。

有數據為證，劉詩雯對陣伊藤是1勝2負，其中兩次輸球都是在東奧周期，分別是世乒賽團體戰以及瑞典戰，被對手完成兩連殺。再看朱雨玲，儘管生涯前三次打伊藤都是屢戰屢勝，但近兩次交手都敗下陣來，分別是瑞典站以及去年奧地利公開賽。小將孫穎莎對伊藤是5勝2負，不過伊藤在2019年瑞典站也贏過她，還有王曼昱，伊藤在與她的近四次交手中打成平手，最近一次交鋒是去年瑞典站，伊藤笑到最後。

由此可見，無論是看進入東奧周期的交鋒紀錄，還是以最近交鋒數據為衡量標準，伊藤交出的答卷都不難看，從這個角度看，伊藤絕對是國乒女隊在東奧爭金的頭號強敵，沒有之一。

而在當下言當下，國乒女隊眼下頭號目標就是拿到卡達公開賽女單冠軍，這個冠軍的含金量不言而喻，而問題來了，陳夢能狙擊伊藤嗎？還別說，在過往三次與伊藤的交鋒中，陳夢取得三連勝，去年在瑞典站和總決賽都讓對手成為手下敗將。儘管佔據一定心理優勢，但陳夢必須從丁寧完敗中吸取教訓，那就是面對伊藤的敢死隊式搏殺以及快節奏打法，如何不被對手牽著鼻子走，如何能佔據被動，讓對手陷入到有勁使不出來的困境當中。

如果陳夢贏了，無疑是對伊藤以及日本女隊的一次重大打擊，為東奧爭金奠定自信籌碼，但倘若陳夢輸了，不是世界末日，但卻給伊藤注入強心劑。所以說，陳夢要將這場巡迴賽決賽當成奧運會決戰打，只要不背上想贏怕輸的包袱，我們有理由期待陳夢狙擊伊藤。

title: 疫情下的英超賽前不握手了！網友吐槽：絕對可悲

content_text:
新冠疫情在歐洲呈現爆發態勢，為了應對疫情，各個國家的聯賽也做了不少措施。英足總就宣布，從本周末的比賽日起，英超聯賽將暫停賽前球員、比賽官員之間的公平競賽握手禮，直至有進一步的醫療建議。

於是本輪英超最早開球的利物浦主場對伯恩茅斯的比賽，就是暫停握手禮的第一場球。在比賽開始之前，雙方嚴陣以待步入安菲爾德球場，往常的列隊握手變成了對視和撞腕，並且沒有安排球童。此情此景，連球員都忍俊不禁，不少人都笑了起來。

這也引發了社交網路上的熱議，有球迷就表示這太詭異了。還有球迷表示，不握手這件事情絕對是可悲的。還有球迷說道，傳統的握手禮沒有發生，這是他見過的最有趣的事情。

對此英超方面表示：「口鼻產生的飛沫會攜帶新冠病毒，可能會通過握手的方式形成傳播。除此之外，俱樂部和比賽官員會繼續執行其餘的賽前規範。比賽日，對陣雙方仍將伴隨英超聯賽音樂入場並列隊，之後主隊球員會依次走過客隊球員，但不進行握手。」

在歐洲疫情最嚴重的義大利，已經有多場意甲聯賽推遲，義大利杯半決賽也推遲至五月進行，聯賽更是要求在4月3日之前全部空場進行。為此尤文預計將損失超過1000萬歐元，米蘭雙雄各自也有數百萬損失。在西班牙，部分比賽被要求空場舉行，而法甲大巴黎的比賽遭遇延期，是義大利之外首個出現延期狀況的五大聯賽。

日期:3月7日消息，33歲的西班牙球手卡皮羅（Jorge Campillo）今天在教育城高爾夫俱樂部以一桿優勢守住了歐巡賽-卡達大師賽第三輪的單獨領先，將在周日爭取個人職業生涯的第2個歐巡賽冠軍。

世界排名第125位的卡皮羅以次輪並列領先者的身份進入到第三輪，在前4個洞全部保帕之後發力，從5號洞開始連抓3隻小鳥，接著從9號洞和10號洞連捉2隻小鳥，鞏固了自己的榜首之位。這位去年實現歐巡賽首冠的西班牙人隨後在12號洞吃下了柏忌，但是很快在13號洞拿到小鳥，儘管在15號洞再度吞下柏忌，但是最終打出的67桿（-4）還是確保卡皮羅以199桿（-14）的總成績確保了54洞的單獨領先。

蘇格蘭球手大衛-德斯戴爾（David Drysdale）和丹麥球手傑夫-溫特（Jeff Winther）分別打出64桿（-7）和65桿（-6），一道以200桿（-13）的總成績排在並列第2位。

3月7日，2020華為手機杯中國圍棋甲級聯賽網路熱身賽第三輪繼續在騰訊野狐圍棋進行。B組加加食品天津隊2比2主將勝浙江雲林棋禪，獲熱身賽二連勝。

謝爾豪與童夢成在圍甲熱身賽之前交手8次，二人分取4勝。童夢成在前半盤的戰鬥中保持領先，結果謝爾豪利用打劫當局勢追回，還先手搶佔到了左邊實地，將差距追回，並最終以執白1/4子獲勝。

檀嘯在開局時優勢，結果中途掉線三次就在網友們都以為會超時負時，檀嘯的網路找回了狀態，讓檀嘯得以在141手時戰勝王澤錦。

唐韋星本輪遇上苦手張濤，他們二人的相對戰績為1比3。唐韋星執黑先行，僅弈至60餘手，兩人就開劫相互試探，通過打劫白棋撈到不少，黑棋大龍陷入危險之中。白棋全盤勢厚，拼殺更凶，黑棋見對殺不過，在168手投子認輸。

陳正勛和蔣其潤曾有7次交戰記錄，陳正勛2勝5負，本輪他殺伐果斷，在163手贏下。兩人相對戰績差距變小。

〔記者蕭方綺／專題報導〕孫可芳演出舞台劇《我為你押韻-情歌Revival》原訂6至8日登國家戲劇院演出，但因一名2月來台演出的澳籍音樂家回國後確診武漢肺炎，他曾在國家音樂廳表演2天，劇團6日上午接獲兩廳院通知，將閉館消毒，取消4場表演，預定延到下半年演出，讓她相當難過。她說自己在後台看舞台劇布景被拆除，瞬間淚崩，「看著夥伴落寞忙碌的背影，真的非常非常難過，大家一起坐著，笑不太出來也不能哭，只能相信一切都是最好的安排。」

她透過經紀人表示這部戲排練一個多月，「2個小時不間斷地演出，要一直換裝，難度很高，台詞也很多，一開始壓力非常大。」但她知道現在是非常時期，防疫更重要，也只能趁這個空檔收拾心情，繼續下一階段工作。

她排練密集的這一個多月，回憶很多，她說排練前期有演員從國外回來，「所以我們至少有15天，都戴口罩在排練、講台詞，很窒息、需要肺活量，再來是劇中有寫實跟非寫實的交疊，我要挑戰很多角色，其中還有要會rap的女扮男裝，我國中就很愛阿姆的rap，很開心可以把平常拿不出手的小才華展現出來。」

而天心、屈中恆、竇智孔等人主演的果陀舞台劇《步步驚笑》，將於19日起在城市舞台演出5場，果陀表示目前只有零星退票，票房約為9成滿，沒有受疫情影響太多，但演員心情難免受影響，「這幾天演員們仍如火如荼排練中，有感共體時艱，他們只能多付出努力，劇團全面也會做好防疫工作。」

另外，黃嘉千等人主演的《3個諸葛亮》6日起在台北市政府親子劇場演出，故事工廠從6日就發布嚴謹的防疫措施，除了觀眾必須量體溫、全程戴口罩之外，也要在票根上填寫姓名、身分證字號、手機號碼，並簽署健康聲明同意書，劇團表示目前票房約6成，會在空位做記號，若觀眾想換到人少一點的位置，也可以自行更換。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕武漢肺炎肆虐全球，人人自危。澳洲目前確診案例達64宗，其中一名墨爾本醫生在從美國回到澳洲的飛機上，開始出現各種不適症狀，回國後的1週內依然上班幫病人看病。隨後該醫生被診斷出感染新冠病毒，是澳洲第11例確診的武漢肺炎病例，而接受的看診的病人及診所的工作人員，全部都要居家隔離。

根據英國 《衛報》報導，這名醫生從丹佛飛往舊金山的美國國內航班就開始出現身體不適和流鼻涕，隨後便搭乘美國聯合航空公司UA60號航班從舊金山飛往墨爾本，並在上月29日抵達澳洲。

維多利亞州衛生局表示，該名醫生雖然出現不適症狀，在回到澳洲後還是繼續上班，本月2日到6日在Tooark診所給70名病人看診，目前該診所已暫時歇業，接受該醫生看診的病人和該診所的工作人員，則被要求需居家隔離14天。

最後維多利亞州衛生局局長呼籲：「如果你從海外回來，遇到感冒或類似流感的症狀，請居家隔離，不要工作，並詢問醫生是否有潛在的冠狀病毒的醫療建議。」

〔記者吳俊鋒／台南報導〕武漢肺炎疫情持續延燒，全球忙著防疫，近來卻有相關報導在帶風向，民進黨立委王定宇表示，病毒美國製造、中國領導抗疫與中國疫情已趨緩，為中共企圖宣傳的3件謊言，他嘲諷這個政權還在用「謊言說一千遍就會變成真」的老手法，當了惡鄰又耍無賴。

王定宇說，中共透過這個老手法，加上「大外宣」、「應聲蟲」，全力宣傳3件謊言，包含病毒是美國製造，以及中國犧牲自己，領導抗疫，全世界該向中國道歉或道謝，還有中國疫情已經趨緩。

王定宇在臉書上引用圖表，「武漢肺炎病毒」到底是從哪裡來的，只要將各國的首起病例來源標出，誰害了全世界，一目了然。

王定宇指出，圖表顯示，多數國家的第一起病例都來自中國，而有些擴散到其他國家的「第二階」來源國，如義大利、伊朗、法國、日本、南韓等，他們的首例也都是來自中國，中國是全球「武漢肺炎」的「第一階」來源國無誤。

王定宇表示，該跟世界各國道歉的是中共，「不要當惡鄰，還要當無賴」，不認錯還栽贓別人。

檢警漏夜偵辦台電北埔電塔工程工安意外發現，圖中的鐵桶是用來載施工物料，不能載人，事發時卻搭載了王姓小包等3人，結果3名工人不幸摔落慘死。（讀者提供）

2020-03-08 00:21:05

〔記者黃美珠／竹縣報導〕新竹縣北埔鄉竹37-1線往苗栗南庄山區，昨晚發生台電高壓電塔工程工安意外，竹東警分局漏夜偵辦初步發現，3名死者搭乘的「鐵桶」根本不是用來載人的，而是用來吊掛物料。警方懷疑除了機具故障釀禍，人為便宜行事恐怕也跟這起悲劇脫不了關係。

新竹檢警昨晚漏夜上山到現場勘查、蒐證，偵訊現場的楊姓操作員，以掌握事發過程、釐清原因。楊男說，他們是台電外包商的轉包小包，老闆是38歲、送醫後仍不治的王男。週六他們在王男帶領下，共有8人上山趕工。他負責在工務所操作「鐵桶」，像流籠一樣，把上山7人綁鐵所需的工具、材料等吊掛上去。

楊男說，傍晚大家收工要下山，因從工作地點所在山頭要回到地面的工務所，約有800公尺遠，所以大家就便宜行事，直接坐上非供人乘坐的「鐵桶」，像搭流籠一樣、45度角橫越山頭滑下山來。

警方調查發現，首批4名工人安全回到地面，也先行下山回家。接著小包王男帶著辜男、陳男2人一起上了「鐵桶」，仿效前批工人下山模式。不料，操作員楊男發現馬達過熱，驚爆一聲後冒出火花，隨即整個吊掛系統煞車失靈，「鐵桶」直接從約10層樓、相當約30公尺高度急速墜落地面。

在失速過程中，王、陳、辜3人先後被拋出，陳男、辜男掉落地面後，頭部還遭「鐵桶」砸中，顱骨破裂，當場殞命。而王男也在摔落地面後失去生命跡象，楊男雖然立刻報警將他送醫搶救，最終仍回天乏術。

〔記者陳彥廷／屏東報導〕武漢肺炎疫情致醫護工作量劇增，日前卻傳出有外送員嫌醫院髒不願送餐，屏東東港老字號的華珍食品行為醫護人員打氣，鎮內醫療院所醫護人員可憑證兌換熱騰騰豆槳，至今已6天，每天至少發出上百杯，暖心舉動頗受好評，華珍決定加碼發送到3月10日，持續為醫護人員加油打氣。

華珍食品長年經營早餐及烘焙食品等，近期日式花生煎餅獲總統蔡英文帶出國，成為國賓美食爆紅。店內豆槳也是一絕，費工夫磨製黃豆，從第一代老闆傳承下來，每天凌晨兩點多，老闆就開始現磨現煮，雖然是庶民常見的飲品，但濃純香豆漿可說是店內「厚功」的功夫菜。

華珍食品週二開始發送給醫護人員免費豆漿，業者說，疫情延燒不止，決定向醫療最前線的醫護人員致敬，而豆漿是採用非基改黃豆作為原料，富含的大豆蛋白、維生素B群、維生素E、大豆卵磷脂、鈣質等，補身體又解渴，為醫護維持體能

「加碼到3月10日」，華珍食品說，早餐部分清晨4點就已有供應，剛煮好的豆漿在清晨格外溫暖，若錯過早餐時段也不要緊，伴手禮旗艦店則接力營業到晚間9點半，這時採提供罐裝冷藏豆漿。華珍說，豆漿主要供應東港鎮內醫療院所的醫護人員持工作證或醫護證兌換，每人每日1瓶，原定今天就要結束，不過，現在每天至少上百人來領取，也希望能向辛苦的醫護致敬，活動延長到3月10日。

新北市警察局防疫期間執法不手軟，週末加強取締酒駕、擴大臨檢，一夜查獲509件酒駕、違規噪音車等違規。（記者吳仁捷翻攝）

2020-03-08 00:05:12

〔記者吳仁捷／新北報導〕防疫期間，新北市警察局執法沒有空窗期，今晚仍共出動上千警力，在三重、新莊等地設置上百個路檢點加強，一夜之間取締13件酒駕、22名通緝犯、毒蟲，累計取締查獲509件交通違規、改裝噪音車；新北市政府為免酒測出現防疫破口，也由防疫專家訂出「望、停、測、拋、消」五字訣，強調防疫期間仍強化執法，絕對沒有空窗期。

新北市警察局長陳檡文、副局長溫枝發一連兩天分別到新北各分局督導取締酒駕暨擴大臨檢，陳檡文到三重、新莊、林口等地區關心員警執勤狀況，確保外勤員警都有足夠口罩、酒精使用，更要求官警遵守防疫SOP流程，勿成為防疫破口。

新北警方也參考防疫專家建議，訂出酒測防護標準作業流程—「望、停、測、拋、消」，分別為「望」：觀望駕駛行為及是否有酒容、「停」：攔停可疑酒駕車輛、「測」：以酒測器施測 施測前後安全消毒、「拋」：集中拋棄吹嘴避免二次污染、「消」：將酒測器具消毒保障衛生。

陳檡文說，為免民眾誤認防疫期間警方疏於執法，新北市一連兩晚全市同步取締酒駕及擴檢，一夜就查獲13件酒駕、16名通緝犯、6件毒品案、298件通報改裝致噪音排氣管車輛、178件其他交通違規，績效顯著；未來更將持續執行各項勤務，確保治安、交安穩定，保障市民安全。

新北市警察局副局長溫枝發也陪同新北市副秘書長朱惕之實際到路檢點，逐一驗證員警取締酒駕、攔檢時，自身防護與預防酒測時，遭民眾感染或交叉感染的風險，而每次使用酒測器後，便消毒裝備、保養裝備，打造隔離防護網，藉此提高員警防護觀念，為彼此衛生把關。

市政府說，由於中央將防疫提升為一級開設，防疫期間外勤仍面臨挑戰，將會同警方、消防等外勤持續做好衛教宣達、提升裝備品質與建構程序安全、有效降低感染風險；警方重申酒後不開車上路，但駕駛若有身體不適，務必先告知警方聲明出國史及自主健康歷程，切勿隱瞞造成感染或受罰。

2020-03-08 00:11:28

〔記者王捷／台南報導〕這個月初台南警方從某案件溯源發現，一個奇怪的微信帳號每天發出「止渴」、「飢夭（止餓）」或是「出外人」等，有點性暗示的暗號，之後還會附上摩鐵房號，懷疑摩鐵藏有春色，警方蒐證見時機成熟一舉攻堅，豈料到撞見2個只穿內褲的刺青大叔，房間內還有100多公克的安毒、數公克大麻、K毒，原來2個大叔將房間當作販毒據點，訊後警方將兩人2依販毒罪嫌移送。

40多歲的王姓、陳姓大叔疑似是販毒藥頭，兩人平常都以摩鐵的房間作為據點，上個月底兩人搬到南市中西區的摩鐵營運，兩人平常相當小心，不僅足不出戶、吃喝都靠外送，還每天換摩鐵的房間，藥腳要告知當天的暗號才能順利得知房號買毒，不過兩人沒想到因為暗號有點性暗示，引起警方注意。

據了解，王、陳兩人使用的暗號都相當生活化，像是「肚子餓」、「想鬆一下」或是「出外人」、「止渴」等，讓警方原本以為是應召站，沒想到深入追查才發現，也有可能是販毒的暗號，警方追查蒐證後，趁著時機成熟依一舉攻堅，結果看到半裸的陳、王兩人覺得有點尷尬。

警方在房間中找到100多公克的安毒、大麻、K毒與神仙水等大量毒品，同時也有藥腳指認陳、王兩人販毒，雖然陳、王兩人辯稱毒品都是自己吸食，但警方掌握初步證據，往販毒罪嫌偵辦。

3月7日，2020華為手機杯中國圍棋甲級聯賽網路熱身賽第三輪在騰訊野狐圍棋全部戰罷。連笑、李欽誠率領的衛冕冠軍上屆冠軍蘇泊爾杭州隊不敵上海建橋學院隊，已經連輸三輪。上屆亞軍龍元明城杭州隊1比3成都懿錦控股隊，三輪過後的戰績為1勝2負。

圍甲熱身賽已經結束了三輪的戰鬥，其中最大的冷門非蘇泊爾杭州隊莫屬。首輪他們1比3升班馬上海清一，次輪1比3華泰證券江蘇隊，吞下二連敗的苦果。第三輪連笑、呂立言分負對手，收穫了一個2比2主將負的結局，雖然連敗沒有止步，但好在總算收穫了一個場分，擺脫了積分榜上的0分尷尬。

龍元明城杭州隊第一輪慘遭衢州爛柯棋院隊大比分擊敗，第二輪面對聶衛平圍棋道場隊時以2比2主將勝扳回一局。但龍元明城杭州隊沒有守住得來不易的勝果，在面對成都懿錦控股隊時，只有夏晨琨一人為隊伍拿到了勝利，鄔光亞、丁浩、陳翰祺分別被馬逸超、黨毅飛、廖元赫擊敗。

在前兩輪連勝楊鼎新、連笑兩位大將的上海清一隊成家業，第三輪終於在華泰證券江蘇隊趙晨宇手中嘗到失敗滋味。隊伍命運與「成主將」命運相同，二連勝的升班馬上海清一隊也首次在圍甲熱身賽知道挫折為何。

本輪共有14位世界冠軍出場，在與非世冠對手的較量中世界冠軍們水平在線，總成績8勝2負，其中羋昱廷、柯潔、黨毅飛、辜梓豪、謝爾豪、檀嘯、范廷鈺、周睿羊力克對手，柁嘉熹不敵石豫來、唐韋星不敵張濤。世冠「內戰」時越負陳耀燁，楊鼎新勝江維傑。

〔即時新聞／綜合報導〕武漢肺炎疫情蔓延，台灣防疫有成備受世界各國推崇。對此，捷克首都布拉格市長賀吉普（Zdeněk Hřib）在推特貼出一張駐捷克台北經濟文化辦事處的信件，表示信中提供幾項建議措施與數據。賀吉普不但在推特稱讚台灣是真正的朋友，更建議捷克當局能借鏡台灣防疫經驗。

賀吉普昨日在推特表示，台灣是真正的朋友，他已經把從台北經濟文化辦事處收到的相關資料轉送給相關的衛生局處。賀吉普也稱讚，儘管台灣與中國有緊密的接觸，但是目前僅44例（現為45例）確診，「他們找到辦法控制了局勢」。因此他要呼籲總理和衛生單位，要借鏡台灣、從中學習。

武漢肺炎疫情蔓延世界，全球已逾10萬人確診，近日歐洲確診人數更是直線上升。捷克目前共有18人確診。

title: 泉州欣佳酒店倒塌 前商戶指：客房原是大廳隔出來的

content_text:
泉州欣佳酒店今天晚間七點半突然發生倒塌事件，該酒店是新冠肺炎疫情的隔離點。一名曾經在事發樓內做生意的商戶指出，欣佳酒店所在的樓層原為一整個大廳，後加上多道牆隔出客房。

陸媒新京報報導，該商戶指出，欣佳酒店所在的建築的一樓為汽車維修、銷售店鋪，二樓至六樓為足浴店和欣佳酒店，七樓為員工宿舍。2017年之前，每一樓都是一個開闊的大廳。決定要開欣佳酒店後，2017年開始拉來水泥和磚，把寬敞的大廳砌牆隔成了一間間的客房，酒店於2018年開始營業。

這名商戶的說詞，尚未從酒店方面核實。該商戶指出，酒店在裝修期間，就曾引發同樓商戶對承重能力的擔憂。在酒店裝修的兩三個月，因為壓力問題，一樓商戶的門窗玻璃被擠壓炸裂五六塊，後來覺得房子太危險，則決定搬離。

工商資料顯示，該賓館曾在2018年11月和2019年12月因「未按規定辦理住宿登記」，被泉州市公安局鯉城區分局處以罰款，並被責令立即整改。

另外，據福建消防消息，截至今天晚間11點12分，已救出37人。

content_text:
3月7日，2020年國際乒聯巡迴賽白金站的卡達公開賽，在多哈進入到第五日的較量。女單半決賽中，世界排名第3位的日本名將伊藤美誠（19歲），以4-0戰勝里約奧運會女單冠軍、世界排名第6位的丁寧（29歲），其中第三局更是轟出11-0這樣的恐怖得分。賽后，日媒撰文直呼伊藤美誠「覺醒」了！

翻開兩人的交手戰績，伊藤美誠以3勝11敗位居下風。她上一次戰勝丁寧，還是2019年5月的中國公開賽（4-1）。隨後的2019年澳大利亞公開賽（3-4）、2020年德國公開賽（1-4），伊藤選手遭遇兩連敗。

第一局，伊藤選手迅速進入狀態。一開始就憑藉發球得分，以及第3板的連續得分，一口氣以7-0拉開差距。隨後，她用看不懂線路的發球和豐富多彩的接發球，以11-6贏得開門紅；

進入拉鋸戰的第二局，9-10落後的伊藤開始反擊，從11-12追到12-12，再到扣殺得分以14-12實現逆轉！

至此，伊藤選手完全乘風破浪，第三局可謂是開啟「覺醒模式」，對丁寧展開了單方面的進攻。完全掌握主動權的她，以11-0結束戰鬥；就這樣第四局也貫徹了進攻打法的伊藤選手，以11-5取得完勝。

這樣一來，伊藤選手順利拿到決賽門票。繼上個月的匈牙利公開賽后，向巡迴賽兩連勝發起了挑戰。此外，當地時間今晚18：30上演的混雙決賽上，伊藤美誠還將攜手水谷隼與中國組合王楚欽/孫穎莎，爭奪混雙金牌。

中國福建泉州一處用於隔離武漢肺炎密切接觸者的旅館，今晚7時許倒塌，約70多人受困，截至晚間近11時已救出35人。據報導，這座建築原先為鋼結構建築，事發前曾進行地基施工。

綜合瀟湘晨報微博、北青網等陸媒報導，晚間7時許，福建省泉州市鯉城區南環路的欣佳酒店發生倒塌。鯉城區工作人員表示，這座旅館是當地用於隔離2019冠狀病毒疾病（COVID-19，俗稱武漢肺炎）密切接觸者的隔離點。

報導稱，這些隔離者並非疑似病例，只是從湖北、溫州等疫情重點地區過來，而在欣佳酒店統一隔離觀察。

報導指出，這間旅館於2018年6月開業，共有80間客房。報導引述附近一間商戶表示，旅館原先是鋼結構建築，可能用於停車場或廠房，後來被旅館老闆接手，重新裝修。

一位員工則表示，事發前旅館房東曾對房屋進行過與地基相關的施工。

目睹大樓倒塌的目擊者則表示，晚間7時20分，他聽到欣佳酒店傳來巨大聲響，以為是爆炸，出門一看，發現巨響來自酒店的鋼化玻璃碎裂，「然後就眼見著整棟樓倒塌下來，露出裡面的鋼結構，這是不到幾秒鐘的時間」。

報導表示，福建消防總隊已調派泉州消防救援支隊26車147人趕赴現場救援，並調派廈門、莆田、福州消防救援支隊3支重型地震救援隊增援。

在歐盟其他成員國準備效法法國和德國，限制醫療防護用品自由流通之際，歐盟執行委員會表示，此舉可能破壞抑制新冠肺炎疫情的集體努力。

歐盟6日召開特別會議，讓各國衛生部長討論疫情，其中歐盟危機管理執委雷納希克（Janez Lenarcic）說：「眾志成城是對抗這個挑戰的有效方式。採取這些可能的限制措施確實有法律依據，但這種單邊措施要事先知會，而且要合比例原則。即便這些作為在法律上是可行的，但也有可能讓我們對抗這場危機時成為一盤散沙。」

他認為歐盟要致力發展區域性的策略，以因應這場危機，「我們需要先集中可取得的資源，再確保這些資源能流向有需要的地方，尤其到第一線醫療人員的手中」。

他補充說，執委會更想尋求歐盟層級的解決方式，「獨善其身是令人遺憾的事。」

日前德國已限制口罩出口，而法國政府已向全國徵收口罩，並下令只能按醫生的處方發放口罩。捷克、立陶宛和義大利等其他國家，都在考慮採取類似行動。

‘AIR POLLUTION SEASON’:
 The EPA said air pollution this spring has not been as bad as in previous years, due to closed factories in China as a result of COVID-19

Many diseases have been linked to air pollution consisting of fine particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) and people should protect themselves, a doctor said yesterday.

Physician Chiang Kun-chun (江坤俊), vice president of the Taoyuan-based Min-Sheng General Hospital, talked about the dangers of air pollution and how people can protect themselves at an event in Taipei’s Daan Forest Park (大安森林公園), which was organized by the Environmental Protection Administration (EPA).

The EPA has designated this year as “Sustainable Earth Year,” with a campaign to promote changing life habits at events throughout the year, and with the spring events focused on air quality.

“Air pollution season” in Taiwan is from October to March every year, EPA Deputy Minister Tsai Hung-te (蔡鴻德) said, adding that this spring has not been as bad as previous years, which he said was due to the suspended operations of factories in China due to an outbreak of COVID-19.

The problem of air pollution cannot be solved by any single agency or group, he said.

Every member of society is responsible for improving air quality, he said, adding that people should try to curb pollution by taking public transportation, consuming locally produced food, growing plants to clean the air and reducing unnecessary consumption.

Drawing attention to the risks posed by PM2.5, Chiang said that small particulate matter damages pulmonary membranes, just as a coronavirus attacks lung tissue.

People are more vulnerable to virus infection when air quality is poor and their lungs are weak, he said.

Particles of PM2.5 can dissolve into pulmonary alveolus and even blood vessels, causing infection in all of a person’s vessels, he said.

In addition to pulmonary diseases, PM2.5 has been linked to numerous diseases throughout the human body, Chiang said.

To strengthen their immunity and protect their lung health, people should drink an adequate amount of water, maintain a balanced diet, sleep sufficiently every day and exercise regularly, he said.

If their lungs are healthy enough, people would be able to resist virus infection even when it enters their body, Chiang said.

ASTRONOMY

Supermoon on Tuesday

One of the biggest full moons of the year is to occur on Tuesday, the Taipei Astronomical Museum said on Friday. The moon, which is to rise at 6:42pm on Tuesday and set at 6:36am on Wednesday, would appear about 7 percent bigger than a regular full moon, the museum said. That would translate to the same difference as between a NT$50 coin and a NT$10 coin, it said, adding that the moon would also appear 15 percent brighter than usual. A supermoon is when a full moon occurs when the moon is closest to Earth in its monthly orbit, the museum said. This year, three full moons are being categorized as supermoons, with the others taking place on April 8 and May 7, it said. However, observation conditions on Tuesday would only be fair in central Taiwan and outlying Penghu and Kinmen counties, while other parts of the nation should expect cloudy to rainy skies, the Central Weather Bureau said.

TRANSPORTATION

Express bus to reduce trips

An express bus service between Tainan and Kaohsiung International Airport is to reduce its schedule by half due to a reduction in overseas flights caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Tainan authorities decided to temporarily curtail the frequency of Tainan Express trips between the city and the airport. From Saturday next week, the service would no longer make 3:30am, 5am, 5:30pm and 9:30pm departures from Tainan and 5am, 7am, 7:30pm and 11:30pm runs from the airport, they said in a statement. Departures from Tainan at 8:30am and 10:30am and 12:30pm and 3:30pm and from the airport at 11:30am, and 1:30pm, 3:30pm and 5:30pm would continue as normal, it said.

CRIME

Pair admit to dumping baby

The body of a newborn discovered in a Kaohsiung park has been confirmed as stillborn and two suspects have been identified, police said yesterday. A man surnamed Lu (盧) and a woman surnamed Kuo (郭) admitted to improperly disposing of the body, police said. They were paid by a hospital to cremate and dispose of the baby, but instead opted to dump the cadaver, police said, adding that the case has been handed over to the Kaohsiung District Prosecutors’ Office. They could be charged with breach of trust and unlawful disposal of a cadaver under the Criminal Code, police said. Workers at Shuanghu Forest Park (雙湖森林公園) on Wednesday found a severed baby’s head stuffed in a large cloth sack. Pieces of fractured bones were also found around the perimeter of the site, police said on Friday, adding that they suspected the bones had been gnawed on by stray dogs.

CRIME

Massive drug haul seized

Nearly 500kg of a chemical used to make ketamine was seized in Kaohsiung in November last year, the first seizure to take place after the chemical was listed as a category four narcotic, prosecutors said on Monday. The 496kg of n-boc-norketamine could have produced 300kg of ketamine, the Ciaotou District Prosecutors’ Office said. Shortly after the chemical was included on the list in June last year, authorities received a tip-off that drugs were being shipped into Taiwan, the office said. A task force found that a drug ring had paid a man surnamed Wu (吳) NT$500,000 to help smuggle the chemical from Shenzhen, China, the statement said, adding that Wu allegedly shipped it to Kaohsiung International Airport. The task force seized the shipment when it arrived on Nov. 20 and arrested four suspects, including Wu, two days later, it said.

Virus Outbreak: Agency says 3,417 medical institutions provide remote care

More than 3,000 medical institutions in Taiwan can offer telemedicine for people in isolation as part of the nation’s COVID-19 response measures, National Health Insurance (NHI) Administration Director-General Lee Po-chang (李伯璋) said yesterday.

The service, provided by 3,417 hospitals and clinics nationwide, leverages telecommunications technology to offer remote diagnosis and treatment of patients undergoing compulsory home isolation or quarantine, he said.

As of Friday, 335 hospitals and clinics were offering the service in northern Taiwan, 826 in central areas, 2,221 in the south and 35 in the east, agency data showed.

More than 1,300 people are in 14-day home isolation and nearly 30,000 in 14-day quarantine as part of the nation’s coronavirus disease-prevention measures, Central Epidemic Command Center statistics showed.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare on Wednesday last week launched the service specifically for those in home isolation or quarantine so that they can seek medical assistance remotely if they feel unwell.

People can call their local epidemic prevention hotline to be connected to the service, which is limited to patients who need medical treatment, but do not have a fever or respiratory symptoms.

People without a valid NHI card must pay the full fee to use the service.

Transport to a hospital via an ambulance can be arranged for patients who develop a fever or respiratory symptoms.

Users must download a smartphone app and register for a consultation time, while physicians are required to be at a proper medical facility during the consultation to ensure the patient’s privacy.

After the consultation, family members or a designated person must take the patient’s NHI card to a designated clinic or hospital to pay and collect any medicine.

Virus Outbreak: Virus cases reach 100,000 as cruise ship fears rise

The number of cases from COVID-19 topped 100,000 worldwide as the US battled to contain an outbreak onboard a cruise ship where 21 people have tested positive.

The WHO called the spread of the virus “deeply concerning” as a wave of countries reported their first cases of the disease — which has now killed nearly 3,500 people and infected more than 100,000 across 92 nations.

Twenty-one people — 19 crew members and two passengers — onboard a cruise ship off the coast of San Francisco have tested positive for the virus after the California National Guard flew test kits out to the ship earlier this week.

The Grand Princess has been stranded off San Francisco since Wednesday — when it was supposed to dock — after it emerged that two people who had been on the ship during its previous voyage had contracted the virus.

One later died.

US Vice President Mike Pence said the ship would be brought to a non-commercial dock this weekend and all 3,533 passengers and crew would be tested.

Health authorities in Egypt also reported 12 new cases among workers aboard a Nile cruise boat.

The WHO has urged “that all countries make containment their highest priority,” WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters in Geneva, Switzerland.

The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a US pro-Israel lobby group, on Friday that two people who attended its annual Washington conference — alongside dozens of lawmakers — had tested positive for the virus.

Slovakia, Serbia, the Vatican, Peru, Cameroon and Togo reported their first cases on Friday, while the Netherlands recorded its first death. Cameroon is the first central African country to register a case.

In China — where the virus first emerged late last year — the number of new cases reported yesterday nationwide was the lowest in weeks.

BREAKING POINT:
 The open letter says that following pay cuts last year and neglect, the COVID-19 crisis has left more frontline medical personnel in a ‘state of anxiety’

The Taipei City Hospital Labor Union has issued an open letter on Facebook to Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲), urging the Taipei City Government to give proper training and compensation to frontline medical practitioners who are handling COVID-19 treatment.

The union on Friday night posted the letter titled: “An open letter to Mayor Ko from the Taipei City Hospital’s employees.”

The letter — which came after a rumor that many of the hospital’s staff are thinking about resigning — says that it aims to let Ko and public understand the difficult situation that the frontline medical personnel face.

A financial crisis in June last year led to staff salaries being cut by about 10 percents, while their bonuses were also reduced, it says.

“Following neglect by the city government and the hospital, many workers have gradually left their posts,” the letter says. “Now, with the disease outbreak, more frontline medical practitioners are in a state of anxiety.”

The hospital’s Heping branch, which was the epicenter of a SARS outbreak in Taiwan in 2003, has been designated as the city’s specialized COVID-19 prevention hospital, resulting in a reduction of the number of admitted inpatients to allow for more capacity to take care of patients with respiratory ailments, the letter says.

Staff from other branches were asked to help at the facility, but they were not informed about the operations beforehand, it says, adding that they did not receive special training for the work, nor were they offered compensation, occupational accident coverage or accommodations.

“We want to tell Mayor Ko that we medical practitioners are not made of iron, so in addition to facing the risk of infection at the hospital, we are also worried that we might take the virus back to our family and friends if we are forced to work on the front lines without proper preparation,” the letter says.

It asks Ko, the hospital and the Ministry of Health and Welfare for remedial measures, including a training program for medical practitioners caring for COVID-19 patients.

It also asks for clear rewards and compensation for frontline medical practitioners who are caring for COVID-19 patients, as well as accommodations if they are forced into mandatory quarantine due to their work.

title: New start-ups want to remake the corporate card

content_text:
For decades, corporate credit cards were a boring industry, dominated by money-colored AmExes, the default choice for power lunches and client dinners around the world.

Now, a fleet of richly funded start-ups wants to change that. Venture capitalists and other investors have poured big money into a growing group of companies that make credit cards for businesses. That includes more than US$1 billion in funding and debt for just three start-ups: card-makers Ramp, Divvy and three-year-old Brex Inc, which was valued last summer at an eye-watering US$2.6 billion, according to PitchBook data.

The fresh interest in the industry comes as American Express Co — the undisputed leader in the market — revamps its corporate card portfolio, raising the fees on its cards this week after adding benefits for Uber rides and Hilton stays.

Accenture Ltd estimates that overall spending on business credit cards in the US will climb to US$1.1 trillion in 2024 from US$625 billion last year.

AmEx, with a US$92 billion market value, is the largest issuer of commercial cards in the world and has relationships with almost two-thirds of the Fortune Global 500 companies. It is also the largest issuer of cards to small businesses in the US.

“Obviously AmEx has a massive stronghold,” MoffettNathanson LLC analyst Lisa Ellis said. “I’d characterize the new players now as on the radar screen, but not of concern to AmEx yet.”

Brex, founded in 2017, started by introducing a product aimed at other start-ups.

New companies, it said, often had a hard time getting traditional corporate cards due to their lack of credit history. Instead of credit histories, Brex monitors how much money its customers have in their bank accounts on a daily basis. If they are well-funded with cash on hand, Brex believes, they are likely to be able to pay off their credit card debt.

Though Brex has gone after a relatively niche slice of the market, it wants to take on American Express directly.

“We’ve always competed with AmEx,” said Henrique Dubugras, Brex’s 24-year-old cofounder.

Dubugras and his investors, which include Peter Thiel and Kleiner Perkins Digital Growth Fund, believe that tech-savvy competition could loosen the company’s hold on the market. “We don’t underestimate AmEx though. We’re aware, we’re measuring, we’re looking.”

Dubugras explained his company’s strategy at a meeting earlier this year in a cafe Brex has leased and operates in San Francisco’s South Park, a venture capital hub.

Wearing a Brex-branded T-shirt, Dubugras said that while the bulk of its customers are start-ups, it has made efforts to make further inroads with e-commerce companies and life sciences companies. Even the cafe is an example of diversification.

Brex — which has raised about US$317 million in venture capital funding according to PitchBook data, and more in debt capital — had drawn some questions about its decision to dabble in food services.

The cafe menu included ingredients like “smoked grapes” and “bearnaise aioli.”

However, Dubugras said that American Express also operates lounges in airports, and Capital One Financial Corp has cafes in a number of their branches.

“We serve start-ups, and this is the core of the start-up community in San Francisco, so having a lounge and cafe here made sense,” Dubugras said.

Brex is the one of the most valuable venture-funded card start-ups at the moment, but it is far from the only one. Ramp, based in New York, is only a year old and recently attracted about US$25 million in funding from Founders Fund and others.

In addition to offering corporate cards, Ramp can use payments data to find redundant spending at the companies it works with — such as extra software subscriptions or paying for separate document storage accounts. “Anyone at a large company can tell you that there is a lot of waste,” Ramp cofounder Eric Glyman, 29, said.

Divvy — based in Lehi, Utah — in April last year raised US$200 million from New Enterprise Associates, Insight Partners and others, and has secured millions more in debt capital.

In addition to its corporate cards, Divvy offers additional expense tools that make it easier for employees and people in charge of a business’ accounts to keep track of spending.

American Express has taken notice of the uptick in competition.

“We definitely see these new start-ups,” said Anna Marrs, president of the firm’s global commercial services unit. “That reminds us that we need to keep innovating.”

In October last year, American Express introduced a new card program made for start-ups. Like Brex, it has begun using new technology that allows it to see a company’s bank balance as part of its underwriting process.

As credit card start-ups ascend, competition is working as intended, Accenture managing director Frank Martien said.

“We actually see a competitive answer from the large players,” he said.

That will ultimately mean more options for small companies, and more clashes ahead for American Express and its upstart rivals.

American Express might not be in a position to worry right now, but Dubugras predicted that the day will come.

“I don’t think they like us very much,” he said.

An endangered black kite that was injured and stranded on an expressway in January has recovered and returned to the wild, the New Taipei City Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office said on Tuesday.

The black kite is a bird of prey included in the government’s animal conservation list. It lives in groups, likes to scavenge and often appears near beaches, farms or fish farms, the office said.

In late January, a truck driver surnamed Tsai (蔡) spotted the black kite on the edge of an expressway in the city’s Jhonghe District (中和) and picked it up after passing it a second time, the office said.

The injured bird was sent to a wild bird shelter in the city’s Shihding District (石碇), where private organizations, such as the Raptor Research Group of Taiwan, and the animal protection office help injured birds of prey recover.

Veterinarian Wang Ling-min (王齡敏) and medical personnel identified internal bleeding and trauma in the bird’s right eye and head, suggesting that it had been hit by a vehicle. The bird recovered after two weeks of treatment at the shelter.

New Taipei City Department of Agriculture Director-General Lee Wen (李玟) said that through conservation efforts, the number of black kites in Taiwan has increased in six years from 272 to 709, up to 348 of which have been seen in the city.

People should report to the animal protection office when they find an injured wild animal and not take it home, as that would be illegal if it is an endangered species, she said.

CHANGE PROMISED:
 Hau Lung-bin did not wait for the final count before acknowledging defeat, while Chiang celebrated the handover to the next-generation KMT

By Shih Hsiao-kuang, Chen Yun and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with staff writer

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Legislator Johnny Chiang (江啟臣) won the party’s chairperson by-election yesterday with nearly 69 percent of the vote over former Taipei mayor Hau Lung-bin (郝龍斌).

Voting favored Chiang in all 22 counties and cities, KMT statistics showed.

In Taipei, where Hau served as mayor from 2006 to 2014, Chiang garnered nearly 60 percent of the votes, gaining about 2,600 more than Hau.

Votes from party members overseas were expected to favor Hau, but the party’s data showed that most went to Chiang.

The by-election had a low turnout of only 35.85 percent, or 124,019 people out of 345,971 who were eligible to vote.

Chiang received 84,860 votes, or 68.8 percent of the valid ballots, while Hau received 38,483. There were 676 invalid votes.

Hau issued a statement at about 6pm — before vote-counting had been completed — acknowledging defeat and congratulating Chiang on winning the election.

Hau thanked the members who voted and the volunteers who helped with the election process.

Chiang has a significant burden to bear over the next year and we hope he lives up to his promise of change, Hau said.

Hau said he has always believed, and still does, that if the KMT is strong, it can help make Taiwan a better place.

Chiang thanked supporters for voting for him and said their choice ensured that the KMT’s handover from the previous generation to the next would be successful.

Chiang said that he would institute organizational changes in the KMT and place less emphasis on party headquarters and more on local party chapters.

This would enable the party to be more connected to local residents, he said.

He promised to upgrade, improve and digitize party affairs, saying that this would be just the beginning of sweeping changes.

“The KMT from now on will be a party that is more modern and swift to respond to demands,” Chiang said.

Chiang said that he had spoken with Hau on the telephone and hopes to work with him to introduce reforms that would improve the KMT.

The by-election was to fill the vacancy left by Wu Den-yih (吳敦義), who stepped down last month after the party’s losses in the Jan. 11 presidential and legislative elections.

The KMT plans to hold an inauguration ceremony for Chiang tomorrow morning.

Virus Outbreak: CECC rejects Egypt claim woman caused infections

IN DENIAL?
 While the Taiwanese-American tourist was the first to be diagnosed with the disease, it was a local tour guide who first experienced the onset of symptoms

The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday rejected a claim by the Egyptian Ministry of Health and Population that a Taiwanese-American woman who took a trip on the Nile was the source of COVID-19 infections on the cruise ship, saying that a local tour guide was the first person to exhibit symptoms.

International media on Friday cited the WHO’s regional office and the ministry as saying in a statement that 12 asymptomatic coronavirus cases had been confirmed on board the vessel after the woman tested positive for the disease after she returned to Taiwan.

Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Director-General Chou Jih-haw (周志浩) yesterday cited the statement as saying that the woman was the “index case,” which might have confused the media into thinking she was the “source of infection.”

CDC Deputy Director-General Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said that there were 37 people in the tour group with the woman, who visited Dubai, United Arab Emirates, over several days before traveling to Egypt, where they stayed from Feb. 11 to 21.

The woman began experiencing symptoms on Feb. 20, returned to Taiwan on Feb. 21, was reported as a suspected case for testing on Friday last week and tested positive on Saturday last week, he said.

The woman is the “index case,” meaning she was the first to be diagnosed, and the government immediately reported the case to Egyptian authorities after the diagnosis, leading to the detection of the 12 other cases, he added.

However, a local tour guide was the first person in the group to experience the onset of symptoms, Chuang said, adding that more than 10 American friends of the woman who were in the tour group also experienced symptoms.

The government also reported its findings to the US, demonstrating that Taiwan is being a responsible global citizen, he said.

Separately on Friday, the CECC disclosed more details about a coronavirus case that it believes was imported from the Philippines — a traveler who was diagnosed with the disease after a trip to the Southeast Asian nation.

The 38-year-old man, who has been placed in a negative-pressure isolation room at a hospital, was on Thursday confirmed as Taiwan’s 44th COVID-19 case by the CECC.

The man, who is from northern Taiwan, experienced abdominal bloating and diarrhea on Monday, in the middle of a visit to the Philippines from Friday last week to Tuesday, the CECC said.

He experienced a sore throat and fatigue on returning to Taiwan and went to a clinic later that day, and as his condition had not improved, he on Wednesday sought medical treatment at a hospital, where he tested positive for the coronavirus, it said.

The man had taken tours of Manila and had been in contact with 26 people, Chuang said, adding that two have tested negative for the virus, while the others are awaiting test results.

A total of 13 passengers who were on the man’s flight back to Taiwan have been required to undergo home isolation, he said.

However, Philippine Secretary of Health Francisco Duque said that the man might have been infected before entering the Philippines, as he had exhibited symptoms as early as Monday.

Echoing Duque’s view, Rabindra Abeyasinghe, the WHO’s representative in the Philippines, said that in most cases, people with COVID-19 do not exhibit symptoms until the sixth or seventh day after infection, while the man began to experience symptoms on the fourth day of his stay in the Philippines.

Book’s claims not enough to charge Ko, prosecutors say
By Chen Wei-tzu and William Hetherington / Staff reporter, with staff writer

The Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office on Friday said that it would not indict Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) over an author’s allegations of his participation in organ harvesting of Falun Gong members in China.

US author Ethan Gutmann’s 2014 book The Slaughter: Mass Killings, Organ Harvesting, and China’s Secret Solution to Its Dissident Problem suggests that Ko knew about Falun Gong members’ organs being harvested in China and that they might have been used for transplants involving Taiwanese.

“Ko was a potential conduit to Taiwanese patients,” Gutmann told a news conference on Oct. 2, 2018, adding that this created a “perverse incentive” to harvest the organs of Falun Gong members.

Brian Wu (吳祥輝), a political pundit and owner of publisher Butterfly Orchid Cultural Creativity, on Sept. 3, 2018, took out a full-page ad in the Liberty Times (sister newspaper of the Taipei Times) that featured excerpts of the firm’s Chinese-language translation of the book.

Wu said that Ko in 2008 arranged for Taiwanese patients to receive transplants in China, was aware that the organs came from Falun Gong members and had bartered with Chinese doctors on their prices.

Ko was also being paid to help China develop its organ transplant system based on Taiwan’s system, Wu said.

In October 2018, Taipei prosecutors summoned Gutmann to court, where he told the judge that, according to his understanding, Ko was “just a middleman” in the procurement of organs, not a “broker.”

Gutmann said that he could not say for certain whether Ko had taken Taiwanese patients to China, adding that Ko had not confirmed to him that he had willingly procured the organs of Falun Gong members.

Ko at the time told prosecutors that Chinese medical authorities were not interested in using Taiwan’s organ transplant system, and that he would not be able to sell them on it.

Prosecutors on Friday said in a statement that there was insufficient evidence that Ko breached provisions of the Punishment of the Crime of Genocide Act (殘害人群治罪條例) to proceed with an indictment.

Citing Ko’s testimony, prosecutors said that while Ko in April 2008 attended a heart and lung transplant summit in China’s Jiangsu Province, where he had heard that some organs in China were taken from Falun Gong members, he was unsure whether the organs were taken from living, dead or brain-dead patients.

As there was insufficient evidence that Ko intended to fully or partly eradicate a particular ethnic or religious group, he could not be indicted in terms of the act, they said.

Taipei City Government deputy spokeswoman Huang Ching-ying welcomed the prosecutors’ statement, saying that the case had caused “unwarranted turmoil and a waste of public resources” during the 2018 mayoral election.

The city government hoped that the announcement would put the public at ease over the issue, and restore confidence in Taiwan’s efforts in the area of medical transplants, she said.

UNEQUAL PAY:
 More than 65 percent of women reported a pay gap between men and women, and 31 percent said they are not financially independent

More than half of women surveyed said they have experienced workplace discrimination, such as being pressured to answer questions about their plans for marriage and parenthood or being judged by their appearance, a poll released on Thursday by online job bank yes123 showed.

The survey, which focused on gender equality and women’s influence in the workplace, found that 62.2 percent of respondents have experienced gender discrimination during a job interview. The No. 1 experience they reported was being asked when they would get married and have kids, followed by being criticized for their height, weight or appearance, and being asked about their relationship status.

The poll showed that 65.6 percent of respondents reported a gender pay gap, with a difference of NT$6,591 per month between men and women for equal work.

The poll showed that 68.7 percent of respondents said they are financially independent, with an average monthly income of NT$34,590, while 31.3 percent said they are not, with an average monthly income of NT$28,003.

The survey showed that 68.8 percent of respondents said they feel overburdened, reporting their main sources of stress as having to do household chores after work and on their days off, not being able to afford a home and struggling to make ends meet.

Yes123 spokesperson Yang Tsung-pin (楊宗斌) said that although most women have a university degree, they lack the opportunity to exercise their expertise in the workplace and earn an equal wage.

For example, data show that more men work in high-tech industries, which often pay well, suggesting that there is room for growth in those sectors in terms of gender equality, Yang said.

To build a more gender-friendly work environment, employers should take the initiative in offering women the same opportunities afforded to men, such as international job assignments, or roles in business negotiations and contract-signing efforts, Yang said.

The government should also provide workers parent subsidies, as well as elder-care benefits, home-buying assistance and measures that help women easily return to the workplace after giving birth, Yang added.

The nationwide poll, conducted from Feb. 19 to Monday, targeted women aged 20 or older through online questionnaires. It collected 1,176 valid samples and had a margin of error of 2.86 percentage points.

Boeing made missteps and withheld information about the 737 MAX, while US regulators failed to provide proper oversight, leading to a “fundamentally flawed” aircraft that demands tighter rules, a US congressional committee said on Friday.

The preliminary report from the US House of Representatives Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure criticizes Boeing management and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and calls for reforms.

“The fact that multiple technical design missteps or certification blunders were deemed ‘compliant’ by the FAA points to a critical need for legislative and regulatory reforms,” the report said, calling the aircraft “fundamentally flawed and unsafe.”

The committee chair plans to introduce legislation to address the failings in the next few weeks, a committee statement said.

Released days before the anniversary of the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines MAX, the second involving the model, the report cited a list of failings, including Boeing management brushing off engineers’ concerns, and FAA officials ignoring warnings from its own experts.

The congressional investigation aimed “to better understand how the system failed so horribly,” committee chair Peter DeFazio said in a statement.

The committee intends to continue its investigation “to bring into focus the multiple factors that allowed an unairworthy airplane to be put into service, leading to the tragic and avoidable deaths of 346 people,” DeFazio said.

The MAX has been grounded worldwide since the crash, which happened a few months after the Lion Air tragedy in Indonesia in October 2018.

“Both Boeing and the FAA gambled with the public’s safety in the aftermath of the Lion Air crash,” the report said.

Many of the flaws in design and oversight had been revealed over the months since the second crash, but the report lays them out one after the other.

The report describes Boeing’s “fundamentally flawed assumptions” about technology in the plane, including the flight software at the epicenter of both crashes: the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System.

The company has a “culture of concealment” that meant “it withheld crucial information” including from pilots, customers and the FAA, the report said.

Senior Boeing leadership “rebuffed concerns” about the production pressures and the effect on safety from a plant supervisor, who called for a temporary halt to manufacturing to address the issues, it said.

“Despite those warnings, Boeing ramped up production instead,” it said.

Regulators exercised “grossly insufficient” review and had a relationship with Boeing that created “inherent conflicts of interest that have jeopardized the safety of the flying public,” it said.

“At times, FAA management has undercut the authority and judgement of its own technical experts and sided with Boeing,” the report said.

The FAA responded to the report saying it would “welcome the scrutiny” from the committee and the investigations into the two crashes “will be a springboard to an even greater level of safety.”

However, the FAA announced a proposed US$19.7 million fine against Boeing for certifying the MAX and its predecessor, the 737 NG, as airworthy when they contained sensors that were not “tested and approved as compatible” with the installed flight systems.

Boeing presented “791 aircraft for airworthiness certification when the aircraft were unairworthy,” the FAA said in a letter to the firm.

In a statement addressing the congressional finding, Boeing said, “We have cooperated extensively for the past year with the committee’s investigation. We will review this preliminary report.”

Virus Outbreak: France, Germany, Spain advisory issued

LEVEL 2 ‘ALERT’:
 The CECC looks at total COVID-19 cases in a nation, incidence rate, number of deaths and other data to decide whether a travel notice should be issued

The Central Epidemic Command Center (CECC) yesterday issued a level 2 “alert” travel notice for France, Germany and Spain, while people arriving from the three nations would be asked to practice self-health management.

Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the center, said that the COVID-19 outbreak in Europe is gradually becoming more serious than in Asia, excluding China.

“A total of 7,186 confirmed cases have been reported in Asia, but 7,290 confirmed cases have been reported in Europe and 4,995 in the Middle East as of yesterday,” Chen said. “We can see that COVID-19 is spreading to every continent.”

The travel advisory urges people to practice enhanced precautions when visiting the three countries.

People arriving in Taiwan from the three nations will be asked to practice self-health management for 14 days after arriving in Taiwan, the center said.

Chen presented virus-related data that included information up to Friday, including population, confirmed cases, deaths and incidence rates for 10 nations.

While total case numbers are important, the incidence rate, number of deaths, clustered cases and other data are indicators the CECC also uses to decide whether a travel notice should be issued, he said.

The incidence rate in China, Iran and Italy is about 6 per 100,000 people, while in South Korea is about 12 per 100,000 people, he said.

The greater COVID-19 incidence rate in South Korea is likely because the nation has conducted more testing than other countries, which can also be inferred by its relatively lower number of deaths, he said.

“The incidence rates in France, Germany and Spain are 0.95, 0.77 and 0.8 respectively,” Chen said, adding that many people are concerned about the situation in Japan, for which the CECC issued a level 2 “alert” travel notice, but the incidence rate there is 0.32.

Although the number of confirmed cases in the US has increased, its incidence rate is 0.07, but the CECC would still pay close attention to the situations in the US, Europe, the Middle East and Japan, he said.

“With 45 confirmed cases in Taiwan as of yesterday, the COVID-19 incidence rate in our nation is 0.19,” he said.

The CECC said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs received a report from Palau, which has official diplomatic ties with Taiwan, about an American medical worker suspected to be infected with COVID-19.

Shinkong Wu Ho-su Memorial Hospital used telemedicine to assist Palau to test the person, the CECC said.

A specimen arrived in Taiwan on Friday and has been sent to the Centers for Disease Control for testing, the CECC said.


title: Attempted stowaway sentenced to five months in jail

content_text:
A man who was arrested in November last year for attempting to climb into a China Airlines plane as it prepared to take off at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport was sentenced to five months in prison, the Taoyuan District Court said yesterday.

The man, previously reported to be from Belarus, but whose nationality remains unknown, would serve only one more month in jail after deducting time served during his detainment, the court said.

The court found him guilty of entering Taiwan without permission under the Immigration Act (入出國及移民法), and attempting to enter an aircraft without authorization as stipulated by the Civil Aviation Act (民用航空法), it said.

The man had no identification on him when he was arrested on Nov. 2 last year while attempting to climb onto the landing gear of an airplane preparing to depart for Palau, Taoyuan prosecutors who questioned him said.

The man was seen darting out of the bushes on the perimeter of the airport and running to the undercarriage of a Boeing 737-800 as it taxied toward the runway for takeoff.

The man refused to speak to police, but because a Bible and other books in his backpack were in Russian, law enforcement officers brought a Russian interpreter to try to communicate with him.

However, the interpreter, a priest from an Orthodox Church in Taiwan, was also unsuccessful in eliciting a response from the man, prosecutors said.

The National Immigration Agency’s Border Affairs Corps yesterday said that the man remains uncooperative and refuses to speak, despite repeated efforts to communicate with him.

Virus Outbreak: Sculptor creates bust in honor of health minister

A sculptor has carved a bust of Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中) to thank him for his devotion to preventing COVID-19’s spread in Taiwan.

Chen has worked tirelessly without respite on the front line in the fight to contain the disease and safeguard Taiwan, 60-year-old sculptor Huang Tien-fu (黃添富) said, adding that it took him a week to make the 27cm bust.

Chen’s commitment to his task is evident by his daily news conferences at the Central Epidemic Command Center to update the public about the disease’s spread, including reports on individual infections, Huang said.

Chen has never been absent from these news conferences or sessions at the Legislative Yuan to update lawmakers, Huang said, adding that he was moved by Chen’s dedication and wanted to cheer him on.

“The minister has been doing a very good job. The public is aware of this,” Huang said.

Chen is effective and calm, and he is good at articulating things, Huang said, adding that Chen always answers people’s questions.

Huang, who has over the past 30 years dedicated himself to sculpting Buddhist statues, said that he had not made a bust or statute of a human likeness in years.

However, the underlying skills remain the same, Huang said, adding that he was able to craft Chen’s likeness from pictures he found online.

After finishing the bust, he shared it online, where the response has been positive, Huang said, adding that people told him it looked life-like and was an accurate rendering of Chen.

“I started off just wanting to do this to express my feelings, and I had no idea I would get this encouragement,” Huang said. “I am truly honored. It seems that it was the right thing to do.”

The most challenging part of sculpting a bust is the sides of the face, while accurately depicting the nose, eyelid placement, cheek width and position of the ears are also difficult, he said.

“Without looking at a person in real life, you do not know what the back of their head or sides of the face look like,” Huang said, adding that he asked a reporter friend to photograph the sides of Chen’s face during a news conference.

As he initially hoped to finish the bust within a week, Huang said he made it with a less time-consuming process using fiber-reinforced plastic, but added that he plans to recreate the work with copper.

He plans to send the bust to Chen, Huang said, adding that he also plans to sculpt President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) and Premier Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌).

Virus Outbreak: Liner evacuees discharged after finishing quarantine

All 19 Taiwanese who were evacuated from the quarantined Diamond Princess cruise ship were early yesterday released from quarantine.

They were discharged after a third round of testing for COVID-19 on Friday found that none had contracted the disease. The previous two rounds of testing were also negative.

The 19 were last month quarantined on the cruise liner off Yokohama, Japan, after the coronavirus was detected in a passenger who had disembarked.

They returned to Taiwan on the night of Feb. 21 on a charter flight from Tokyo and were on Feb. 23 placed under quarantine for 14 days at a designated facility.

Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shih-chung (陳時中), who heads the Central Epidemic Command Center, arrived at the quarantine venue at about 11:50pm on Friday before their release. He cut a cake there to celebrate the birthday of one of the evacuees.

Evacuee Chen Jih-sheng (陳日昇) said that he was grateful to doctors and nurses in the quarantine facility for their close attention.

Chen Jih-sheng, a magician who had performed on the cruise ship, also praised the government’s efforts to contain the virus’ spread in Taiwan.

Recalling his days in the quarantine facility, he said that the room had a window, which he was only allowed to open slightly, but added that thanks to the availability of Wi-Fi, he kept in touch with his relatives so he felt reassured.

The Diamond Princess was held under quarantine in Yokohama Harbor from Feb. 4 to 19 after it emerged on Feb. 2 that a passenger from Hong Kong who had sailed on one segment of the itinerary was later diagnosed with COVID-19.

Of the 24 Taiwanese on the ship — 22 passengers and two crew members — five were diagnosed with the virus and stayed in Japan for treatment.

The remaining 19 were allowed to leave the ship over the course of three days before being placed in quarantine.

An 85-year-old man, the last of the five Taiwanese passengers diagnosed with COVID-19, has recovered and was on Thursday discharged from a Japanese hospital.

The man, who had nosebleeds and was coughing up blood, was discharged following treatment, authorities said.

The man and his son, who had also tested positive for the virus and received treatment at the same hospital, are the only two Taiwanese passengers who remain in Japan. The three others have already returned to Taiwan.

The father and son are now waiting for a flight to return to Taiwan.

After being discharged from the hospital, the son said he felt that the sky appeared clearer than usual and the air felt cleaner, adding that he planned to serve as a volunteer in fighting the epidemic after returning to Taiwan.

Mars rover named

NASA’s next Mars rover has been named Perseverance. The six-wheeled robotic explorer is to blast off this summer to collect Martian samples for return to Earth. The name was suggested by Alex Mather, a Virginia seventh-grader, as part of a naming contest for schoolchildren. NASA announced the name on Thursday at Alex’s school in Burke, Virginia, and he read his winning essay live on NASA TV. “We are a species of explorers and we will meet many setbacks on the way to Mars. However, we can persevere,” Alex wrote. “We, not as a nation, but as humans, will not give up. The human race will always persevere into the future,” he wrote.

Vodka not sanitizer: Tito’s

Vodka distiller Tito’s has warned buyers that making hand sanitizer out of its liquor will not help them fight COVID-19, in response to a surge of Internet users boasting of making their own moonshine virus protection. “I made some hand sanitizer out your vodka. The hand sanitizer doesn’t taste bad either. Cheers to Tito’s vodka. Keeping me germ-free and feeling good at the same time,” Texas-based Twitter user Snottypotty wrote. Another user called Kaliel said “gonna make some hand sanitizer from @TitosVodka to keep safe from the corona virus,” while another fan, Rick Holter, suggested keeping a bottle of vodka handy for hand washing. Faced with an onslaught of such messages and recipes for artisanal vodka-based hand gels, Tito’s Vodka took to Twitter to urge people to heed the guidelines of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about the use of hand sanitizer. “Per the CDC, hand sanitizer needs to contain at least 60% alcohol. Tito’s Handmade Vodka is 40% alcohol, and therefore does not meet the current recommendation of the CDC,” the distiller wrote.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is calling COVID-19 the “Wuhan virus,” despite objections from China, where the illness was first detected.

For the second day in a row, Pompeo on Friday publicly referred to COVID-19 as the “Wuhan virus” or “Wuhan coronavirus,” a reference to the central Chinese metropolis that is hardest hit.

Asked in a CNBC interview about the success of Beijing’s response to the outbreak, Pompeo said: “I’m happy you complimented the Chinese Communist Party today, but remember this is the Wuhan coronavirus that’s caused this.”

In a news conference on Thursday, Pompeo highlighted US$37 million in US aid for countries hit by “the Wuhan virus’ spread.”

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Zhao Lijian (趙立堅), asked in a briefing this week about the terms “Wuhan virus” or “China virus,” said it was “highly irresponsible” for media to use them.

“By calling it ‘China virus’ and thus suggesting its origin without any supporting facts or evidence, some media clearly want China to take the blame and their ulterior motives are laid bare. The epidemic is a global challenge,” Zhao said.

No conclusion has been made on whether the virus originated in China, he said.

COVID-19 cases were first reported — and initially suppressed by authorities — in late December last year in Wuhan.

Pompeo rejected Chinese statements that the virus might have originated elsewhere and said it was “incredibly frustrating” that Beijing has not shared more information.

“I’m happy about the efforts that they have taken, but no less authority than the Chinese Communist Party said it came from Wuhan,” he said in the CNBC interview. “So don’t take Mike Pompeo’s word for it. We have pretty high confidence that we know where this began, and we have high confidence too that there was information that could have been made available more quickly.”

The WHO, in guidelines issued last month aimed at governments and media, warned that terms such as “Wuhan virus” could stigmatize people of Chinese origin and also discourage people from getting tested.

‘CLOSE CALL’:
 NASA is to conduct an agency-wide assessment to capture lessons learned from mishaps during the flight of Boeing’s CST-100 Starliner last year

NASA has begun an extensive probe of its role in Boeing Co’s CST-100 Starliner program after a review team found that the agency provided insufficient oversight of software and testing work before a botched voyage to the International Space Station.

Boeing software personnel had too much leeway to approve changes without authorization by the broader Starliner team, NASA associate administrator Doug Loverro said on a conference call on Friday.

Boeing and NASA also did not fully understand all potential outcomes for all software code configurations, he said.

“This was a close call,” Loverro said. “We could have lost a spacecraft — twice — during this mission, at the beginning and the end.”

NASA’s internal assessment signals tougher oversight for Boeing. The December test flight of the company’s Starliner, which is ultimately meant to ferry astronauts to the space station, was cut short by coding problems.

Immediately after the mission, NASA formed an independent review team to pore over data, the spacecraft and how work and testing were performed before launch. That review has already submitted 61 recommendations to Boeing and the agency, many of which focus on software design, testing, validation and integration.

Now, NASA is to conduct an agency-wide assessment to capture lessons learned from mishaps during the flight, which ended on Dec. 22 last year.

“It’s not unusual that you don’t test every logical condition in software, but we clearly recognize that we do need to test every logical condition and cover every logical state that the software could have,” said Loverro, who supervises human spaceflight.

Boeing will incorporate NASA’s recommendations into its plan for moving forward, said Jim Chilton, senior vice president of space and launch for the Chicago-based company.

NASA hired Boeing and Elon Musk’s Space Exploration Technologies Corp to develop new launch vehicles to carry astronauts between Earth and the space station. Russia has provided the sole crew transport since the NASA retired the Space Shuttle in 2011. Delays in the commercial crew program have forced the agency to begin talks to purchase another seat from Russia.

SpaceX ran a successful demonstration flight without crew to the space station a year ago and is preparing for a flight with astronauts this year.

title: Pakistan’s ‘biggest feminist’ under fire for sexist rant

content_text:
He calls himself “Pakistan’s biggest feminist,” but soap opera writer Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar earlier this week sparked a national row after he hurled abuse at a women’s rights activist on live TV.

The invective-laden diatribe came just days before thousands of people are today expected to march in cities nationwide to mark International Women’s Day, adding fuel to growing calls for greater freedoms in the ultra-conservative nation, where pushback against such demands can sometimes be vicious.

Qamar’s tirade targeting activist Marvi Sirmed quickly went viral, highlighting Pakistan’s acrimonious conversation around women’s rights and cultural values.

While appearing on a TV panel to discuss the upcoming Aurat March (women’s march), Qamar took aim at its slogan: “My body, my choice.”

He told Sirmed that “no one would even spit on your body” and that she was a “cheap woman” who should “shut up.”

Reaction was swift, with local media giant Geo Entertainment — which had signed Qamar to write soap operas — suspending his contract, while politicians and celebrities condemned him on social media.

Drama critic Sadaf Haider told reporters that Qamar held “deeply misogynistic” views that he wove into his soaps, adding that such narratives are “not helping the cause of women’s rights” in Pakistan.

Qamar declined repeated requests for comment, but he has appeared on other talk shows and refused to apologize, blaming Sirmed for interrupting him on air.

Pakistani soaps have been criticized for their depiction of female protagonists — often damsels in distress silently accepting abuse from their in-laws and husbands, which is shown as a strength.

Female villains are usually the opposite: They do not want to settle down or conform, and end up creating problems by seducing the virtuous heroine’s husband.

While Qamar has come under fire for the negative portrayal of women in his soap operas, his latest work, Meray Paas Tum Ho (“I have you”), broke viewership records in Pakistan.

The “my body, my choice” slogan at last year’s event generated criticism in a Muslim country largely unaffected by the global #MeToo movement.

Organizers and participants were accused of promoting Western, liberal values and disrespecting religious and cultural sensitivities.

Some of the more provocative posters and slogans from the march discussing divorce, sexual harassment and menstruation drew a quick backlash and a slew of threats against the organizers.

Last month, anti-march campaigners filed a petition in Lahore to block this year’s event.

Lawyer Azhar Siddique alleged that the event is being funded by “various anti-state parties” with the aim of sowing “anarchy” in society.

A judge ruled that a ban would be unconstitutional, but warned marchers to refrain from spreading “hate speech and immorality.”

A separate petition in Islamabad calling for a ban on the march was also dismissed on Friday.

Nighat Dad, part of the Aurat March organizing committee, was unfazed by the backlash to previous events.

“In reality, men like Khalil-ur-Rehman Qamar are threatened, which is why they are coming up with all kinds of ridiculous arguments against the women’s movement,” she told reporters.

Sirmed is known to have received multiple death threats.

In 2012, she escaped unharmed when unknown assailants fired upon her car. Her home was ransacked in 2018, with her laptops, passport and other travel documents taken.

Amnesty International expressed support for the Aurat March, saying in a statement that the “horrific threats of violence, intimidation and harassment of the marchers must stop.”

Much of Pakistani society operates under a strict code of “honor,” systemizing the oppression of women in matters such as the right to choose who to marry, reproductive rights and even the right to an education.

The Honour Based Violence Awareness Network has estimated that at least 1,000 women fall victim to “honor killings” in Pakistan each year.

Pakistan ranked a dismal 136th on the UN Development Programme’s Gender Inequality Index in 2018, worse than most of its South Asian neighbors.
