title: Why the working class still matters in politics today

content_text:
A specter is haunting the West — the specter of a working class whose political home has been foreclosed. For decades, seduced by the “third way” siren songs of former US president Bill Clinton, former British prime minister Tony Blair and former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder, center-left forces jettisoned the language of class struggle.

However, in their rush to become respectable, and prove themselves more efficient and fairer managers of capitalism, they ceased to speak of exploitation and chose to ignore the inherent antagonism — even violence — of the capital-labor relation. They banished workers’ words, mannerisms, way of being and aspirations from political discourse altogether. Then they denigrated their former constituents as “deplorables.”

When downward mobility and impecunity take over large hinterlands where a once-proud working class now feels abandoned, and from which the established parties avert their eyes, a yearning for a new dignity-restoration project — for a narrative that pits a collective “us” against a powerful “them” — takes shape. A decade ago, a venomous storyteller with a century-long experience of filling such voids stepped into the new one: the xenophobic far-right.

Movements and leaders that centrists clumsily labeled “populist” did not create this yearning — they merely exploited it with the cynicism of a seasoned monopolist spotting an untapped market. From the working-class areas of south Piraeus, Greece, a stone’s throw from where I am writing this, to the formerly “red” suburbs of Paris or Marseille, France, we can see voting blocs shift from communist and social-democratic parties to those created by the political heirs of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler. Like their forebears, these political chameleons pose as the standard-bearers for a disenfranchised working class. Meanwhile, in the US, white supremacists, Christian fundamentalists, technofeudal lords and fed-up former Democratic voters vibrate together passionately in a coalition that has won the White House twice.

The comparison, which many are making, with the interwar period can lead us astray if we are not careful, but it is pertinent. While the left’s tendency to call all conservative or centrist opponents fascists is inexcusable, the fact remains that fascism is now in the air. How could it be otherwise? When working-class people were abandoned all over the West, it was easy to restore their hope with the promise of a national rebirth built upon a fictional golden age.

Once the bait was taken, the next step was to divert their wrath from the socioeconomic forces that had driven them to poverty to some nebulous cabal — “globalists,” the “deep state,” or some George Soros-directed plot to “replace” them in their own land. Riding high on the passion thus inspired, ultra-right politicians begin taking aim at liberal elites, bankers, rich foreigners abroad and wretched aliens at home — people who can be portrayed as usurpers of the golden age and obstacles to national rebirth.

Then — and only then — comes the dismissal of the class struggle, ruling out political representation of the working class’s economic interests. The wrath at the US owners who close their local factory and ship it wholesale to Vietnam is redirected against Chinese workers. The fury at the bank that foreclosed on the family home becomes hatred for Jewish lawyers, Muslim doctors and Mexican day laborers. Anyone who reminds them that capital accumulates by devouring, displacing and eventually ditching the labor of people like them is treated like a national traitor.

In the 2020s, just as in the 1920s, the ultra-right rose on the back of this process. It did not happen overnight. The process of losing the working classes, initially to hopelessness and eventually to the fascist mindset, began with the end of Bretton Woods in 1971. However, what triggered the transformation of the far right from a protest movement within conservative politics into an autonomous force that takes power, shamelessly demolishes bourgeois liberal institutions and embarks on a project of annihilating “cultural Bolshevism” — a term dear to Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels’ heart?

Two developments stand out. First, the 2008 global financial crisis, our generation’s 1929 moment, led the centrists in power to impose harsh austerity on the working class while extending “socialist,” state-sponsored solidarity to big business. Second, as in the 1920s and 1930s, centrists and non-fascist conservatives feared and loathed the democratic left more than the authoritarian right.

The lesson for the left is agonizingly clear. To focus exclusively on identity — on race and gender — while ignoring the material reality of class, is a catastrophic strategic error. It is to disarm in the face of an enemy that has weaponized the very story center-left parties renounced.

The task is to integrate the vital struggles against racism and patriarchy into a renewed, robust critique of class power. We must reclaim the vocabulary of solidarity and exploitation, demonstrating that the true enemy of the working person is not the immigrant, but the rentier, the technofeudal lord, the monopsonist employer and the financier who treats their future as a derivative to be speculated on. New leaders such as New York City’s mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani must help find a synthesis that speaks to the whole person.

The alternative is to remain spectators in our own political tragedy, watching as the left’s forgotten people are marched off to fight in a right-wing fantasy of national purity. The working class matters. It is time to start acting like it.

China’s new K visa beckons foreign talent as US hikes H-1B fee

China’s new visa program aimed at attracting foreign tech talent started last week, a move seen boosting Beijing’s fortunes in its geopolitical rivalry with Washington as a new US visa policy prompts would-be applicants to scramble for alternatives.

While China has no shortage of skilled local engineers, the program is part of an effort by Beijing to portray itself as a country welcoming foreign investment and talent, as rising trade tensions due to US tariffs cloud China’s economic outlook.

Beijing has taken a series of measures to boost foreign investment and travel, opening more sectors to overseas investors and offering visa waivers for citizens from most European countries, Japan and South Korea among others.

“The symbolism is powerful: While the US raises barriers, China is lowering them,” Iowa-based immigration attorney Matt Mauntel-Medici said, referring to China’s new visa category, called the K visa, which launched on Wednesday last week.

The K visa, announced in August, targets young foreign science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) graduates, and promises to allow entry, residence and employment without a job offer, which could appeal to foreign workers looking for alternatives to US job opportunities.

Earlier this month, the administration of US President Donald Trump said it would ask companies to pay US$100,000 per year for H-1B worker visas, widely used by tech companies to hire skilled foreign workers.

“The US has definitely shot itself in the foot on H-1Bs, and the timing is exquisite for China’s K visa,” Geopolitical Strategy chief strategist Michael Feller said.

Other countries including South Korea, Germany and New Zealand are also loosening visa rules to attract skilled migrants. Immigration experts say the main attraction of the K visa is no requirement of a sponsoring employer, which has been regarded as one of the biggest hurdles for those seeking H-1B visas. The H-1B visa requires employer sponsorship and is subject to a lottery system, with only 85,000 slots available annually. The new US$100,000 fee could further deter first-time applicants.

“It’s an appealing alternative for Indian STEM professionals seeking flexible, streamlined visa options,” said Bikash Kali Das, an Indian student at China’s Sichuan University.

India was by far the largest beneficiary of H-1B visas last year, accounting for 71 percent of approved beneficiaries.

Despite its promise, the K visa faces hurdles. Chinese government guidelines mention vague “age, educational background and work experience” requirements. There are also no details on financial incentives, employment facilitation, permanent residency or family sponsorship. Unlike the US, China does not offer citizenship to foreigners except in rare cases. The Chinese State Council did not respond to a request for comment asking for more details on the logistics and underlying strategy of the K visa.

Language is another barrier: Most Chinese tech firms operate in Mandarin, limiting opportunities for non-Chinese speakers. Political tensions between New Delhi and Beijing could also become a factor that could limit the number of Indian K visa applicants China is willing to accept, experts said.

“China will need to ensure Indian citizens feel welcome and can do meaningful work without Mandarin,” Feller said.

China’s talent recruitment has traditionally focused on China-born scientists abroad and overseas Chinese. Recent efforts include home-purchase subsidies and signing bonuses of up to 5 million yuan (US$702,121). These have drawn back US-based Chinese STEM talent, especially amid Washington’s growing scrutiny on ties to China.

“The recruitment effort targeting Indian tech talent in China is growing, but remains moderate compared to the more intensive, well-established and well-funded initiatives aimed at repatriating Chinese STEM talent,” Das said.

A Chinese STEM graduate who recently got a job offer from a Silicon Valley-based tech company was also skeptical about the K visa’s prospects.

“Asian countries like China don’t rely on immigration, and local Chinese governments have many ways to attract domestic talent,” he said, declining to be named for privacy reasons.

The US has more than 51 million immigrants — 15 percent of its population — compared with just 1 million foreigners in China, less than 1 percent of its population.

While China is unlikely to significantly alter its immigration policy to allow in millions of foreign workers, but analysts say the K visa could still boost Beijing’s fortunes in its geopolitical rivalry with Washington.

“If China can attract even a sliver of global tech talent, it will be more competitive in cutting-edge technology,” Feller said.

ON THE BRINK: The New York Yankees, who are 2-0 down in the best-of-five division series, will now be fighting to stay alive when they host Game 3 today

The Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday rode a stunning display from rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage and a Vladimir Guerrero Jr grand slam to a 13-7 victory that pushed the New York Yankees to the brink of elimination from the playoffs.

Daulton Varsho added two home runs as Toronto took a 2-0 lead in the best-of-five American League Division Series.

Guerrero smashed the first grand slam in Blue Jays playoff history to electrify the crowd at Toronto’s Rogers Centre.

Fans were treated to five home runs from the hosts, as well as a record-setting playoff debut from Yesavage.

Making just his fourth start, the 22-year-old held the mighty Yankees lineup without a hit over 5-1/3 innings, striking out 11 with just one walk.

“When I was out there, I could feel the energy of the crowd,” Yesavage said. “I just knew something was gonna happen. I didn’t know it was gonna be all that.”

Toronto manager John Schneider said it was “tough to put into words” his thoughts on the performance by Yesavage, who rose through the minor leagues this season.

“The kid started in A-ball this year and just did that against that lineup,” Schneider said. “What we were looking for were command, poise, all that kind of stuff. That was there.”

Yesavage broke the previous Blue Jays record for strikeouts in a post-season game of eight and became the second-youngest pitcher with a double-digit strike out game in the playoffs.

Guerrero’s fourth-inning blast to right field was followed by Varsho’s two-run homer to right center that pushed Toronto’s lead to 11-0.

The Jays had hammered Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried through three innings, piling up eight hits on the way to a 5-0 lead.

That included a two-run homer in the second inning by Ernie Clement, who also singled in a run in the third. George Springer added a solo homer in the fifth inning that made it 12-0.

Aaron Judge got New York’s first hit of the game with a single off reliever Justin Bruihl and Cody Bellinger followed with a home run that finally put the Yankees on the board in the top of the sixth inning.

Varsho answered with his second homer in the bottom of the frame.

The Yankees clawed out five runs in the seventh inning, but that was the end of the fightback.

The Yankees, who like the Blue Jays won 94 games this season, but were edged out for the American League East Division title on the tiebreaker, will now be fighting to stay alive when they host Game 3 today.

“I know we’ll show up and ready to go expecting to win,” Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “There’s been a lot of weird things that have happened in baseball this year. This would not be the weirdest, us rallying.”

The winner of the series faces either the Seattle Mariners or the Detroit Tigers in the American League Championship Series.

The Mariners beat the Tigers 3-2, knotting their series at one game apiece with their first home playoff win since 2001.

Mariners second baseman Jorge Polanco homered twice off Tigers ace Tarik Skubal — tipped to win a second straight American League Cy Young Award — to put Seattle up 2-0 through six innings.

Polanco pounced on a slider from Skubal in the fourth inning, driving it over the left center-field wall. With two outs in the sixth, he lofted a pitch into the left-field seats to double the score.

The Tigers tied it up in the eighth inning on Spencer Torkelson’s two-run double, but Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez hit back-to-back doubles with one out in the eighth inning to put Seattle on top again and they head to Detroit, Michigan, for Game 3 today all square.

Spanish champions Barcelona on Sunday collapsed in a shock 4-1 demolition at Sevilla in La Liga, with Alexis Sanchez scoring against his former side and Robert Lewandowski missing a penalty for the visitors.

The Catalans sit second in the table after their first league defeat of the campaign, two points behind bitter rivals Real Madrid following Los Blancos’ victory over Villarreal on Saturday, while Sevilla rise to sixth.

Real Betis Balompie moved fourth with a 2-1 win at RCD Espanyol, thanks to a stoppage-time penalty save by their goalkeeper Pau Lopez, who formerly played for the Catalans.

Atletico Madrid stumbled to a 1-1 draw at RC Celta de Vigo after having Clement Lenglet sent off in the first half and sit fifth.

Veteran Chilean winger Sanchez put Sevilla ahead from the penalty spot early on against Barca and Isaac Romero doubled the hosts’ lead after having already missed two good chances.

Marcus Rashford pulled a goal back before halftime, but Lewandowski fired wide from the penalty spot to spurn his team’s best chance of an equalizer.

Jose Carmona and Akor Adams wrapped up Sevilla’s emphatic win in the final stages, as Hansi Flick’s side fell to an unusually heavy defeat.

“The team’s first 45 minutes were horrendous. I think we’ve not played a game as bad as that and we must be self-critical,” Barca midfielder Pedri Gonzalez told the club’s media channel.

Flick defended his team despite their loss, saying that he was pleased with their reaction in the second half.

“It’s one match and we lost it, and we have to keep going,” he said.

Barcelona were still licking their wounds after Paris Saint-Germain beat them late on in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday last week, and were without injured teenage star Lamine Yamal.

“In the first half we didn’t know how to defend well or attack well,” Pedri told Movistar of his team’s sluggish display.

The rout began when Ronald Araujo clumsily grappled with Romero in the penalty area and conceded a penalty.

Sanchez dispatched it, with the 36-year-old sending Wojciech Szczesny the wrong way to fire Matias Almeyda’s side ahead.

Romero swept into the bottom corner from Ruben Vargas’ cutback for the second as Barca were opened up easily again.

Rashford was the first Barcelona player to awake from their slumber and pulled the champions back into the game deep in first-half stoppage-time, volleying home Pedri’s cross for his first La Liga goal.

Having won just one league game at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan this calendar year before Barcelona’s visit, the hosts’ nerves began to shake.

Sevilla substitute Adnan Januzaj conceded a penalty for felling Balde as he flew into the penalty area, granting Barca a golden chance to level.

Veteran Polish striker Lewandowski stuttered twice in his run-up before firing wide of the post.

Youngster Roony Bardghji could have equalized, but fired straight at the goalkeeper after Lewandowski’s flick-on sent him in on goal.

Sevilla wrapped up their win late on through fullback Carmona, who drilled a low effort past Szczesny and into the far corner, and Adams.

“I’m very happy for the victory, we needed to win at home,” Sevilla head coach Almeyda said. “We couldn’t give them a meter of space... we knew what we had to do and we’re on a good path.”

Atletico’s draw at Celta left them eight points behind leaders Real Madrid and six behind Barca.

A Carl Starfelt own-goal put Atletico ahead, before Lenglet was sent off in the 40th minute for two yellow cards.

Iago Aspas, who equaled the record for most Celta appearances, bundled home an equalizer in the second half, with the hosts on top, but unable to find a winner.

It was Celta’s sixth 1-1 draw of the season in eight league games, with the Galician side yet to win.

Atletico had won their prior three across all competitions, including a 5-2 thrashing of Real Madrid the previous weekend.

“I’m very happy with the work of my players,” said an annoyed Diego Simeone repeatedly, in answer to various questions about the game.

The head coach had shown his anger on the touchline at the decision to send off Lenglet for two fouls on Ferran Jutgla.

Promoted side Elche fell to their first defeat of the season, a 3-1 loss at Deportivo Alaves that left them seventh.

Tadej Pogacar on Sunday delivered a trademark 75km breakaway to win the European road race title in France, adding the stars jersey to the world title he won a week ago and his fourth Tour de France triumph in July.

Pogacar was unrelenting in his solo rampage, only slowing to cruise across the line 31 seconds ahead of Remco Evenepoel, who attempted to push Pogacar all the way, while French teenager Paul Seixas was given a rousing welcome for bronze at 3 minutes, 41 seconds.

With Pogacar’s closest rivals Jonas Vingegaard and Evenepoel also lining up, large crowds cheered the riders through 202km of narrow, winding roads in the remote Ardeche region, where a familiar scenario unfolded.

Decked out in his world champion’s rainbow jersey, Slovenian Pogacar broke away from an audacious distance, but Belgium’s Olympic champion Evenepoel dug in for an admirable long-haul chase.

Vingegaard had already been dropped on a hill halfway through as a collective Belgian effort at the head of the peloton whittled down the field to a dozen pretenders.

That attack decimated the Slovenian team around Pogacar.

“I saw I was losing teammates, it wasn’t the plan to go from there, but it had to be there, it was the hardest hill and that was my advantage there,” Pogacar said after the race.

As Pogacar opened up a one-minute lead, Evenepoel teamed up with French 19-year-old Seixas to lead the resistance, and they were joined by Spain’s Juan Ayuso and Italy’s Christian Scaroni.

As Pogacar’s lead extended, Evenepoel accelerated away in pursuit of the cycling superstar, who signed a reported US$54 million six-year contract with Team UAE in November last year.

“Second place again,” said Evenepoel, who also came in behind Pogacar at the world title race in Kigali the previous Sunday.

“It’s always the same at the championships, the others didn’t want to work with me,” he said. “It’s a bit frustrating, but they had their team orders, you have to accept it.”

Evenepoel won the European time trial and the world championship time trial this year, while he capped last year with the road and time trial titles at the Paris Olympic Games.

Behind them Scaroni and Seixas dueled for third place, with the emerging Frenchman given raucous support as he eventually dropped the dogged Italian.

France team coach Thomas Voeckler was visibly delighted with the bronze medal.

“There’s a lot of noise around him, and it’s understandable. What he just did was massive. Let him develop, and we’ll see how far he goes,” Voeckler said of Seixas.

Seixas was the youngest man in the field, a week after coming 13th at the worlds in Kigali.

Erling Haaland on Sunday carried Manchester City to within three points of English Premier League leaders Arsenal with the only goal at Brentford, while Crystal Palace’s 19-game unbeaten run was ended by a 2-1 defeat to Everton.

The Norwegian maintained his sensational early-season form to score his 18th goal for club and country in just 11 appearances this season.

Haaland showed his strength to bully his way through the Brentford defense from Josko Gvardiol’s long ball and fire home on nine minutes.

Victory came at a cost for Pep Guardiola’s men as Rodri was forced off in his latest injury setback since returning from an anterior cruciate ligament tear that saw him miss most of last season.

Last year’s Ballon d’Or winner was in tears when he had to be replaced with an apparent hamstring problem midway through the first half.

Despite a less than sparkling performance, City held out to haul themselves up to fifth and right back into the title race.

Palace missed the chance to go second after suffering a European hangover at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The Eagles were dominant in the first 45 minutes, but were left to rue not adding to Daniel Munoz’s finish from Ismaila Sarr’s pass.

However, their UEFA Conference League exertions in winning away to Dynamo Kyiv on Thursday last week took their toll in the second half.

Iliman Ndiaye equalized from the penalty spot after Maxence Lacroix clumsily upended Beto as Everton fought back to avoid a first defeat at their new home.

Jack Grealish then got fortunate for his first Everton goal as Munoz’s attempted clearance rebounded off the Manchester City loanee into the roof of the net.

“I thought Crystal Palace should have been out of sight, they should have been 3-0 up, but we stuck at it,” Everton head coach David Moyes said.

Ange Postecoglou’s wait for a first win as Nottingham Forest head coach goes on after a 2-0 defeat at Newcastle United.

The Australian is the first Forest boss in more than 100 years to fail to win in his first seven games and now faces an anxious wait to see if club owner Evangelos Marinakis decides to make another change over the international break.

“I knew it was a big challenge walking in. That’s what it is and there’s nothing wrong with that,” Postecoglou said.

Newcastle had only won one of their opening six Premier League matches, but Bruno Guimaraes led the Magpies to victory with a brilliant strike from outside the penalty area to break the deadlock on 58 minutes.

Guimaraes then won a penalty after robbing former teammate Elliot Anderson inside the Forest penalty area.

Nick Woltemade smashed the resulting spot-kick into the top corner for his fourth Newcastle goal since joining from VfB Stuttgart last month.

Forest slip to 17th, the same league position that saw Postecoglou sacked by Tottenham Hotspur at the end of last season despite winning the UEFA Europa League.

After a slow start to the season, Aston Villa beat Burnley 2-1 to secure a fourth win in the past 11 days.

Donyell Malen was the Villa match-winner with his first goals since April.

The Dutch forward opened the scoring after racing onto Boubacar Kamara’s brilliant through-ball to slot into the far corner.

Morgan Rogers was the creator for the second that Malen controlled before drilling confidently into the far corner.

Lesley Ugochukwu pulled a goal back, but Burnley remain in the relegation zone.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are still rooted to the foot of the table after conceding a late equalizer to draw 1-1 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

title: Israel, Hamas in Egypt for truce talks

content_text:
EXCHANGE: Negotiations would focus on setting a date for a temporary truce and conditions for the return of Israeli hostages and release of Palestinian detainees

Delegations from Hamas, Israel and the US were yesterday due to convene in Egypt for talks, with US President Donald Trump urging negotiators to “move fast” to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza.

Both Hamas and Israel have responded positively to Trump’s proposal for an end to the fighting and the release of captives in Gaza in exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

The indirect talks were due to begin on the eve of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel, which sparked the war.

Trump’s plan envisages the disarmament of Hamas, which the militant group is unlikely to accept, as well as the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.

Previous rounds of negotiations have also stalled over the names of Palestinian prisoners the Islamist group proposed for release.

Hamas’ lead negotiator, Khalil al-Hayya, who was targeted with other leaders from the group in Israeli strikes in Doha last month, was to meet with mediators from Egypt and Qatar in Cairo yesterday morning, a senior official from the group said, ahead of talks in the Egyptian town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Negotiations would look to “determine the date of a temporary truce,” the official said, as well as create conditions for a first phase of the plan, in which 47 hostages held in Gaza are to be released in return for hundreds of Palestinian detainees.

Posting on his Truth Social platform on Sunday, Trump praised “positive discussions with Hamas” and allies around the world, including Arab and Muslim nations.

“I am told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST,” he wrote.

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi yesterday praised Trump’s plan, saying it offered “the right path to lasting peace and stability.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has expressed hope that the hostages could be released within days, said his government’s delegation would be departing for Egypt yesterday for the talks.

The White House said Trump had also sent two envoys to Egypt — his son-in-law Jared Kushner and Middle East negotiator Steve Witkoff.

Agence France-Presse footage yesterday showed several explosions in Gaza, with plumes of smoke rising over the skyline, even after US Secretary of State Marco Rubio urged Israel to stop bombing the territory.

“You can’t release hostages in the middle of strikes, so the strikes will have to stop,” Rubio told CBS.

A Palestinian source close to Hamas said it would halt its military operations in parallel with Israel stopping its bombardment and withdrawing its troops from Gaza City.

Gaza’s civil defense agency, a rescue force operating under Hamas authority, said Israeli attacks killed at least 20 people across the territory on Sunday, 13 of them in Gaza City.

Noting that the “operational situation has changed,” Israeli military chief Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir on Sunday said that if the negotiations failed, the military would “return to fighting” in Gaza.

Hamas has insisted it should have a say in the territory’s future, although Trump’s roadmap stipulates that it and other factions “not have any role in the governance of Gaza.”

Under the proposal, administration of the territory would be taken up by a technocratic body overseen by a transitional authority headed by Trump himself.


title: Pharaonic painting disappears from Saqqara necropolis

A limestone pharaonic painting has gone missing from Egypt’s famed Saqqara necropolis, becoming the latest artifact to disappear in a country known for its rich and lengthy history.

The painting was in the tomb of Khentika in the Saqqara necropolis outside Cairo, Supreme Council of Antiquities secretary-general Mohamed Ismail said in a statement on Sunday.

The mastaba tomb was found in the 1950s and has not been opened since 2019. The tomb dates to the sixth dynasty of the ancient Old Kingdom — from about 2700 BC to 2200 BC.

Prosecutors were investigating the circumstances of the painting’s disappearance and did not give further details, it said.

Egyptian media reported the painting exhibited the ancient Egyptian calendar that divided the year into three seasons mirroring the Nile River’s ebb and flow. It included the flooding season, Akhet, the planting season, Proyat, and the harvest season, Shomu.

Cairo 24 news outlet reported that a British mission working in the tomb discovered the painting was missing in May.

The tomb is one of the few mastaba tombs of ancient Egypt to have a curse inscribed on its facade. The inscriptions warned intruders they could face divine punishment, said British Egyptologist Harry James, who coauthored a research paper on the tomb in the 1950s.

The Saqqara site is part of a sprawling necropolis at Egypt’s ancient capital of Memphis that includes the famed Giza Pyramids, the step pyramid of Djoser, as well as smaller pyramids at Abu Sir, Dahshur and Abu Ruwaysh. The ruins of Memphis were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in the 1970s.

Sunday’s announcement came less than a month after an ancient pharaoh’s bracelet was stolen from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo and melted for its gold.

The gold bracelet with a lapis lazuli bead belonged to Pharaoh Amenemope, who reigned about 3,000 years ago. It was stolen on Sept. 9 while officials at the museum were preparing artifacts for an exhibit in Italy. Authorities said it was taken from a restoration lab at the museum and funneled through a chain of dealers before being melted down.

DEADLOCK: After being lambasted by the party’s base for caving during the previous shutdown, Democrats might dig in this time, while Trump repeatedly blamed them

The bitter tribalism that drove the US into a government shutdown is putting compromise out of reach, analysts said — and threatening to turn a staring contest between the Democrats and US President Donald Trump’s Republicans into a protracted crisis.

As the nation enters its second week with federal agencies paralyzed, multiple strategists with vivid memories of previous standoffs said the president and his foes could be in it for the long haul.

“It’s possible this shutdown drags on for weeks, not just days,” said Andrew Koneschusky, a former press secretary for US Senator Chuck Schumer, the Democratic leader at the center of the latest deadlock.

“Right now, both sides are dug in and there’s very little talk of compromise,” he said.

At the heart of the showdown is a Democratic demand for an extension of healthcare subsidies that are due to expire — meaning sharply increased costs for millions of low-income Americans.

On Sunday, Trump blamed minority Democrats for blocking his funding resolution, which needs a handful of their votes.

“They’re causing it. We’re ready to go back,” Trump told reporters at the White House, sounding resigned to a shutdown dragging on.

Trump also told reporters his administration has already started to permanently fire — not merely furlough — federal workers, again blaming his rivals for “causing the loss of a lot of jobs.”

In March, when the threat of a shutdown last loomed, Democrats blinked first, voting for a six-month Republican resolution to keep the coffers stacked despite policy misgivings.

However, Schumer was lambasted by the party’s base, and will be reluctant to cave this time around as he faces potential primary challenges from the left.

For now, Senate Republicans are banking on their Democratic opponents giving in as they repeatedly force votes.

“I could see a temporary agreement coming from both parties by the end of October,” said Jeff Le, a former senior official in California state politics who negotiated with the first Trump administration.

“Anything beyond two months would halt government operations seriously and potentially impact national and homeland security considerations, casting blame on both parties,” he said.

A shift in the strategy would likely depend on either side noticing public sentiment turning against them, analysts said.

Polling so far has been mixed, although Republicans have been taking more flak than Democrats overall. Trump presided over the longest shutdown in history in 2018 and 2019, when federal agencies stopped work for five weeks.

This time around, the president has been ratcheting up pressure by threatening liberal policy priorities and mass layoffs of public sector workers.

James Druckman, a politics professor at the University of Rochester, sees Trump’s intransigence as a reason to believe this standoff could rival the 2019 record.

“The Trump administration views itself as having an unchecked mandate and thus generally does not compromise,” he said.

“Democrats have been critiqued for not standing strongly enough and the last compromise did not result in any positive outcome for Democrats. Thus, politically, they are inclined to stand firm,” he said.

The 2018 and 2019 shutdown cost the economy US$11 billion in the short term, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office — and US$3 billion was never recovered.

US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent has warned that the latest shutdown could wreak its own havoc on GDP growth.

For California-based financial analyst Michael Ashley Schulman, the economic realities of the shutdown might be what end up forcing compromise.

“If Wall Street gets spooked and Treasury yields spike, even the most ideologically caffeinated will suddenly discover a deep commitment to bipartisan solutions,” he said.

Not all analysts are gloomy about the prospects for a quick resolution.

Aaron Cutler, head of the congressional oversight and investigations practice at global law firm Hogan Lovells, and a former staffer in the House, sees the shutdown lasting 12 days at most.

“Senate Democrats will blink first... While the shutdown continues, there will be no congressional hearings and a lot of work at the agencies will be paused,” he said.

“That’s a win for many Democrats in Congress, but they don’t want the blame for it,” he said.


title: Snowstorm traps about 350 hikers on Mt Everest

Rescuers were helping hundreds of hikers trapped by heavy snow at tourist campsites on a slope of Mount Everest in Tibet, Chinese state media said.

About 350 hikers had reached a meeting point in Tingri Country and rescuers were in contact with another 200, state broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) said late on Sunday. There was no immediate update on rescue efforts yesterday.

The hikers were trapped at an elevation of more than 4,900m, a report on Chinese online site Jimu News said. Mount Everest is about 8,850m tall.

A hiker who rushed to descend before snow blocked the way told Jimu News that others still on the mountain told him the snow was 1m deep and had crushed tents.

Hundreds of rescuers on Sunday headed up the mountain to clear paths so that trapped people could come down, the Jimu report said.

A video shot by a villager showed a long line of people with horses and oxen moving up a winding path in the snow.

The snowstorm struck during a weeklong national holiday in China, when many travel at home and abroad.

In another mountainous region in western China, one hiker died of hypothermia and altitude sickness, and 137 others were evacuated in the northern part of Qinghai Province, CCTV said yesterday.

The search in an area in Menyuan County with an average altitude of more than 4,000m was complicated by the terrain, unpredictable weather and continuous snowfall, a CCTV online report said.

Mount Everest, known as Mount Qomolangma in Chinese, straddles the border between China and Nepal, where recent heavy rains have left more than 40 people dead.

Climbers attempt to scale the world’s tallest peak from base camps in both countries. The base camp for climbers is separate from the tourist camp where hikers were trapped by the snowfall.

A strong earthquake killed at least 126 people in the same area in January.

Police in Western Australia have seized guns and revoked or suspended firearms permits from dozens of owners linked to what investigators describe as sovereign citizen ideologies, or views that reject government authority.

Officials linked the crackdown on firearms users believed to hold such views to the fatal shooting in August of two police officers in Victoria state, in the country’s east. The suspect in the Aug. 26 killings, 56-year-old Dezi Freeman, remains at large, weeks after he is said to have killed two officers visiting his rural property to serve a search warrant.

In the years before the shooting, Freeman appeared to have embraced so-called sovereign citizen views during court appearances. Members of such movements use debunked legal theories to reject government authority.

Freeman is suspected of killing Detective Senior Constable Neal Thompson and Senior Constable Vadim de Waart-Hottart, and wounding a third officer. Following the shooting, investigators in Western Australia used bolstered gun laws enacted last year to identify weapons owners in their state who they said held similar views to Freeman’s.

“The mission of this operation was simple and that was to validate and verify our intelligence on who may hold sovereign citizen ideologies here in Western Australia,” state Police Commissioner Col Blanch told reporters on Sunday.

Social media posts and information from other gun owners was used to identify those targeted.

Officers visited 70 properties over five days late last month and early this month, seizing 135 firearms and suspending or revoking 44 gun licenses, Blanch said.

Investigators relied on a legal provision that allows only someone who meets the standard of a “fit and proper person” to hold a gun permit.

“If you have made it very clear that you do not abide by the laws of Western Australia, set by the parliament, then there is no way that you can be a fit and proper person,” Blanch said.

In explaining the raids, Blanch said that in the past three years, six police officers in four states have been shot dead by members of the public, which he said was “unprecedented” in Australia.

In 2022, two officers were shot and killed by Christian extremists at a rural property in Queensland state. The three shooters in that case — conspiracy theorists who reportedly hated the police — were shot and killed by officers after a six-hour siege in the region of Wieambilla.

A South Australia police officer was shot dead in 2023. Another was killed in Tasmania in June.

Shooting deaths in Australia are otherwise rare. A 1996 massacre in the Tasmanian town of Port Arthur, where a lone gunman killed 35 people, prompted the government to drastically tighten gun laws and made it much more difficult for Australians to acquire firearms.

Meanwhile, in rural Victoria, Australia’s largest ever tactical police operation continues the search for Freeman.

Hundreds of officers have traversed rugged landscapes, squeezed into caves and checked mine shafts, with no confirmed sightings of the fugitive so far.

UNITED STATES

National Guards blocked

A federal judge late on Sunday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon at all, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland after the same judge blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before. During a hastily called evening telephone hearing, US District Judge Karin Immergut granted a temporary restraining order sought by California and Oregon. Immergut, who was appointed by Trump in his first term, seemed incredulous that the president moved to send National Guard troops to Oregon from neighboring California and then from Texas on Sunday, just hours after she had ruled the first time. “How could bringing in federalized National Guard from California not be in direct contravention to the temporary restraining order I issued yesterday?” she asked the federal government’s attorney, cutting him off. “Aren’t defendants simply circumventing my order?” she said later. “Why is this appropriate?” The White House did not immediately comment on the judge’s decision.

RUSSIA

Drone barrage cuts power

A Ukrainian drone barrage triggered power cuts in a border region, the Russian Ministry of Defense said. Kyiv has vowed to increase its strikes on Russian territory, in particularly on oil infrastructure, in what it sees as a legitimate response to Moscow’s daily barrages of Ukrainian cities and its energy network that have at times cut off heating and power to millions. The ministry said it had downed 251 Ukrainian drones overnight — one of the highest daily tolls since Moscow launched its offensive in February 2022. In the Belgorod border region, 5,400 were left without electricity, Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on social media. A refinery in the southern Krasnodar region was also hit, wounding two people, local authorities said.

JAPAN

Tourist attacked by bear

A bear on Sunday attacked a Spanish tourist, a local official said yesterday, days after another mauling left one woman dead and another missing. More wild bears have been spotted in recent years, even in residential areas, due to factors including a declining human population and climate change. The 44-year-old tourist was pounced on from behind, as he was walking to a bus stop in Shirakawa-go, a UN World Heritage site, village official Kazunari Takashima said. The tourist “was injured with a scratch on his right arm, then he walked to a tourist information office nearby and requested an ambulance,” Takashima said, adding that the man was treated in hospital and discharged the same day. The animal was about 1m long and is believed to be a juvenile black bear, he said.

AUSTRALIA

‘Mushroom’ case appealed

Prosecutors yesterday said they had launched an appeal against last month’s “manifestly inadequate” sentence for convicted murderer Erin Patterson, after a trial that drew global attention. Patterson, 51, was handed life in prison with parole last month for serving a sumptuous beef Wellington laced with poisonous fungi to her estranged husband’s parents, aunt and uncle during a lunch at her home in 2023, killing three of them. However, local media, including national broadcaster ABC and the Sydney Morning Herald, quoted Victoria State’s Office of Public Prosecutions as saying it had appealed that sentence. The Victoria Office of Public Prosecutions did not respond to a request for confirmation.


title: K-cures for the dreaded hangover

content_text:
‘Hovenia dulcis’ — known in Korean as ‘heotgae’ — has become the cornerstone of South Korea’s booming hangover cure industry

“Eighteen years ago, people didn’t even know the name of this ingredient,” says 58-year-old Gil Sa-hyeon, holding up a cluster of dried brownish stems. “Now it’s everywhere.”

His shop, Joseon Yakcho, sits in the heart of Seoul’s Yangnyeongsi Market, South Korea’s largest traditional medicinal herb market, its streets lined with shops displaying buckets of herbs such as licorice root and cinnamon bark that spill on to the pavements, filling the air with their distinct, earthy aroma.

The ingredient Gil is referring to is hovenia dulcis, known in Korean as heotgae — the oriental raisin tree that’s become the cornerstone of South Korea’s booming hangover cure industry.

South Koreans take their hangovers very seriously. For many, the morning-after ritual still involves a steaming bowl of haejangguk, or “hangover soup.”

Often made with napa cabbage, dried pollack or even congealed oxblood, it’s a comfort food as much as a cure, with specialist restaurants opening early for bleary-eyed regulars.

More recently, though, the cure has gone commercial. Walk into any convenience store and you’ll find entire sections dedicated to hangover remedies, from traditional drinks to trendy jelly sticks and tablets designed to ward off the suffering.

Most contain extracts of hovenia dulcis, though some use other ingredients said to help, including red ginseng, milk thistle or even seaweed.

The country’s hangover cure market reached approximately 350 billion won (US$256 million) last year, according to NielsenIQ Korea, up 10 percent from the year before.

Despite the market’s growth, South Koreans are actually drinking less, with per-capita alcohol consumption falling steadily since 2015 and post-pandemic shipments of beer and spirits still below 2019 levels.

Analysts link the shift to a combination of factors, from companies cutting back on mandatory after-work boozy sessions to a health-conscious younger generation favoring moderation over binge drinking.

Joo Young-ha, a cultural anthropologist at the Academy of Korean Studies who specializes in food culture, says the appeal of hangover products for younger drinkers is as much social as practical.

“They often buy multiple products in advance to share as gifts during drinking sessions, turning hangover prevention into part of the evening’s etiquette,” he says.

Taeyoung Hwang, an analyst at market research firm Mintel, says that while hangover recovery products remain niche markets globally, South Korea and Japan represent exceptions.

“They have mature and widely adopted hangover recovery product industries deeply tied to their respective drinking cultures,” Hwang says.

According to Mintel’s analysis, South Korea has launched the most hangover products globally in the past five years. Many have become “indispensable daily consumer goods,” with the so-called Korean Wave enabling international expansion.

“The global popularity of Korean culture, including K-pop and K-food, is fueling interest and driving demand for Korean hangover recovery drinks in markets like south-east Asia and beyond,” Hwang says.

While hovenia dulcis appears in classical Chinese medical texts — which historically influenced Korean medical scholarship — it was incorporated into Korean medical literature in later centuries and only recently became a commercial phenomenon, part of a broader movement to retroactively attribute traditional health benefits to modern products.

“Interest in hovenia dulcis for hangover relief only began in the early 1990s, starting with Japanese patents, then Korean scientific research followed,” says Choi Goya from the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine

TESTING THE CLAIMS

Studies in South Korea have examined various parts of hovenia dulcis for potential detoxifying effects, though evidence remains largely limited to animal research.

In laboratory settings, researchers found fruit extracts of hovenia dulcis reduced blood alcohol concentration in rats, and fermented fruit vinegar reduced levels of both alcohol and acetaldehyde — the toxic compound produced when the body breaks down alcohol.

Scientific literature has also found that the plant increased activity of alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme that breaks down alcohol, and may protect the liver from alcohol-related damage.

However, the body of research has major limitations, including studies of different plant parts, a lack of high-quality human clinical trials, and inconsistent quality standards.

Medical researchers remain broadly skeptical about hangover remedies, though a King’s College London systematic review found hovenia dulcis fruit extract among several substances showing statistically significant results in human trials, albeit with very low-quality evidence.

Until recently, Korean companies could make hangover cure claims without needing proof, which prompted local regulators to crack down on the industry.

In January, new rules required companies to conduct human trials showing measurable improvements in things like hangover symptoms and blood alcohol clearance.

Companies that failed to do so have until this month to provide new evidence or face a ban on hangover-related marketing claims entirely.

For many, though, hangover remedies are perhaps less about scientific certainty and more about comfort, routine and the shared culture of drinking.

Lee So-young, a 26-year-old office worker, has been buying hangover products since university.

“I don’t know if they really work,” she says. “But they’re cheap, and sometimes I do actually feel better. That’s good enough for me.”

Couples should never go to bed angry, right? It might be time to rethink that

It’s late at night, and you have been stewing all day about something your partner did to annoy you. The time to resolve it is now because, as everyone knows, you should never go to bed angry, right?

Though it’s conventional wisdom, many relationship experts say sticking to such a rule is counterproductive. It may even harm the relationship.

“It’s completely wrong,” said Samantha Whiten, a clinical psychologist in Maryland. “All it does is make sure that people are fighting when they’re tired.”

Instead, couples can learn habits that help them get rest while boosting the relationship long term.

NO ONE WANTS TO GO TO BED ANGRY

It’s understandable to want to discuss a problem before letting it fester, Whiten said, but it’s unrealistic to expect conflicts to be wrapped up quickly and lovingly before drifting off to sleep.

“That sounds nice,” she said. “That’s like a fairy tale, though.”

Some sources attribute the origin of the phrase to the New Testament book of Ephesians. Translations vary, but it’s some version of: “Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun set on your anger.”

The trouble is, couples shouldn’t fight when they are “emotionally dysregulated,” Whiten said. She referred to the acronym HALT, a common reminder in therapy that people should avoid serious discussions when hungry, angry, lonely or tired. Many people also drink alcohol at night, which doesn’t help create a calm environment.

“They are more likely to say and do things impulsively that they may regret,” she said.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO INSTEAD?

Discussing problems at night might seem easiest because it’s when your partner is most available, said Sabrina Romanoff, a clinical psychologist in New York City.

But it’s better to acknowledge that something needs to be discussed, take a pause, and set a time to come back to it, she said. That could mean having lunch or coffee together the next day, or any time you’re not rushing out the door.

The key is to follow through.

“It speaks to a skill, to trust that your partner is really going to return to this thing that’s really important to you,” Romanoff said, adding that most couples have to practice that.

It’s also about understanding your partner and being empathetic to what each of you needs. When one partner needs space, it’s incumbent on the other person not to interpret that space as rejection, Romanoff said.

What’s the difference between a pause and avoiding?

Whiten said many couples in her practice have at least one person who feels they won’t be able to sleep until they resolve a fight. That’s often a sign of anxiety and a discomfort with uncertainty.

“People need to individually learn how they can regulate themselves and tell themselves it’s OK,” she said. “The idea of being able to self-soothe is really key.”

The reverse — avoidance — is no better. Many people might need space to process an argument, but they’re obliged to come back later to their partner to address the topic.

The goal is that both people feel secure enough to acknowledge the disagreement, remember their relationship is more important than one argument, and agree to talk about it later, Whiten said. “When people can learn to do that, it’s really transformative.”

STOP ARGUMENTS BEFORE THEY START

Romanoff suggested that couples establish regular check-ins. They don’t have to talk about the worst problems in their lives at a given point, but they should make a habit of small gestures of communication.

Even regularly asking how your partner’s day went creates a kind of scaffolding of emotional safety, she said. It creates the space to address problems.

When there is an issue, use “I” statements, be clear about what you need, and try to create a plan for how the other person can deliver, she said. A request posed at an appropriate time will often be better received.

“Timing is everything when it comes to communication,” she said.

content_text:
★ Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。

Wu Gang bent low,

his axe heavy in his hands.

Sweat rolled down his back.

He struck the osmanthus tree.

The wound closed again.

He paused to breathe.

He admired the branches,

glowing against black silence of space.

He smelled the blossoms,

sweet but fleeting.

Long ago,

he drank deep of wine.

He chased fast pleasures.

He sought the potion of immortality.

Not to escape death,

but to merge with the Dao.

Yet he hurried.

He demanded the quick path.

The Jade Emperor saw his heart.

Desire without patience.

So he was set to chop a tree

that could not fall.

Years turned to centuries.

Axe stroke after axe stroke.

And Wu Gang learned.

To hurry is delay.

To strive is to stumble.

Through futility, he found stillness.

Through repetition, he found the cycle.

Through the cycle, he found the Dao.

吳剛彎下身軀，

手中握著沉甸甸的斧頭。

汗水順著他的背向下流。

他劈向了桂樹，

砍出的痕跡卻又再次癒合。

他停下喘息，

欣賞枝條在漆黑寂靜的宇宙中閃耀；

他嗅聞花香，

甜美卻如流光般短暫。

從前，

他狂飲美酒。

追尋著短暫的歡樂。

他探求長生的靈藥。

不是為了逃避死亡，

而是為了融入「道」。

然而他心急，

他渴求捷徑。

玉皇大帝看穿了他的心思。

僅有欲望卻毫無耐心。

於是罰他伐樹，

一株永不會倒下的桂樹。

歲月化作千載。

斧聲一聲又一聲響起。

吳剛終於領悟...。

越急，越慢；

越爭，越跌。

在徒然中，他尋得靜寂；

在重複中，他看見循環；

循著循環，他走入了「道」。

故事討論

The tale of Wu Gang is one of several lunar myths in Chinese culture, alongside Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit. It first appeared in early Tang dynasty writings (618–907 CE), when Daoist immortality practices were popular.

Wu Gang was said to be a man who desired eternal life and sought to learn the secrets of the Dao. But he was impatient and careless in his studies, always looking for shortcuts. That’s why the Jade Emperor punished him with an endless task: to cut down a self-healing osmanthus tree on the moon.

The story is often compared to the Greek myth of Sisyphus and its theme of endless labor and the search for meaning in hardship. Yet Wu Gang’s punishment was not simply cruelty. It was a lesson. His repeated chopping became a meditation on patience and cycles and shows that the longest road may be the true path to the Dao.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, families gather to admire the full moon and enjoy the fragrance of blooming osmanthus. The blossoms are often seen as a heavenly sign of immortality and renewal. In them, people remember Wu Gang. His axe still swings on the moon, yet his spirit is at peace. The flowers remind us that beauty is short-lived but always returns. Like the moon that waxes and wanes, our lives also move in circles. The festival teaches us to slow down, share sweetness with family, and accept the rhythm of heaven and earth.

吳剛伐桂的傳說，是華人文化中眾多月亮神話之一，與嫦娥奔月、玉兔搗藥齊名。這個故事最早見於唐代（西元618–907年）的典籍，當時道教追求長生不老的風氣十分盛行。

據說，吳剛是個渴望永生、欲窺天道奧秘的凡人，但他為人耐心不足、投機取巧，在修行上總想尋找捷徑。因此，玉皇大帝罰他到月亮上執行一項永無止境的任務：砍倒一棵隨砍隨合的桂樹。

這個故事常被拿來與希臘神話中的薛西弗斯（Sisyphus）相提並論，其主題皆涉及無盡的勞役，以及在苦難中尋求意義。然而，吳剛所受的懲罰並非純粹的折磨，而是一門課題。他日復一日的劈砍，化為一場關於耐心與循環的修行，並揭示了最遙遠的路，或許才是通往「道」的真正途徑。

中秋佳節，家家戶戶團聚一堂，欣賞皎潔的滿月，享受桂花盛開的芬芳。桂花常被視為長生與新生的天賜象徵。在桂花香中，人們也想起了吳剛。月亮上，他的斧頭依舊揮舞，但心境已然平靜。花開花謝提醒著我們，美好固然短暫，卻總會再來。如同月有陰晴圓缺，我們的生命亦是周而復始。這個節日教導我們放慢腳步，與家人分享甜美，並接納天與地的自然節律。

title: 國際火線／近年最沒知識韓劇：全智賢的《暴風圈》

content_text:
▲全智賢與姜棟元主演的《暴風圈》。（圖／翻攝自維基百科）

文／朱錦華

稍早前播畢的韓劇《暴風圈》，大概是我近年來看過最不用功、最沒知識的大製作韓劇。我這樣批評它，並非因為全智賢在劇中說了「為什麼中國這樣好戰」這句被認為辱華的台詞。韓國人因為地緣政治上的悲情，會說出這樣的話是有道理的。這一點我以後再說。

純粹就戲論戲，這齣戲讓我越看越覺得渾身不自在。沒有最誇張，只有更誇張。有網友稱，這齣作品要求觀眾「降智」來看，我認為是太抬舉它了。枉費它請來全智賢擔任女主角；該劇非但稱不上「全智」，實際上近乎弱智！《暴風圈》敘事混亂、反派選角失敗（外型太像菜市場人物、沒有威脅感或說服力）、許多角色像川劇變臉一般，在好人／壞人之間快速切換，讓人腦袋幾乎轉不過來。

▲全智賢在劇中飾演從外交官變身總統候選人。（圖／翻攝自FACEBOOK／Disney+）

然而不斷反轉的劇情，當中緣由和細節又交待不清（例如姜漢南這個角色），漏洞百出。關於劇的內容，我用三個詞來概括它：「情人保鑣+007大破彈道飛彈+婆媳過招八十回」! 好啦，上述只是我的個人觀感，你不同意，我尊重。但接下來要說的就不只個人觀感問題了。

製作方既然大手筆投資700億韓圓（約15億元台幣），用來拍攝一齣以核戰危機與核潛艇之謎為政治驚悚外衣包裝的愛情偶像劇，理應先了解一下核潛艇是什麼回事吧？然而事實並非如此。「彈道飛彈核潛艦」(SSBN)、陸基的「洲際彈道飛彈」(ICBM)和戰略轟炸機（例如B-2），共同組成所謂「核三位一體」(Nuclear Triad)的戰略核威懾力量。換言之，並非只有核潛艇能夠發射核武，陸基的發射井或軌道車也可以。

▲從殺手變身情人保鑣的姜棟元。(圖／Disney+提供）

北韓被證實擁有核武已經有一段時日，早已具備椄打擊力量。因此，劇中描述美國發現北韓擁有核潛艇後就驚慌失措、決定率先攻擊摧毀北韓，是不合理的。核潛艇由於攻擊上的限制（通訊不易、戰術運用受限、海裡環境威脅等），在戰略上普遍被定位為「第二擊」的報復力量。就是說，「第一擊」的主角不是它。美國不可能為此「起乩」，卯起來主動攻擊北韓。

更離譜的是，劇中的壞人竟然可以遠端遙控發射核彈！大家都曉得，發射核武有其嚴謹程序。領導人一旦下達發射指令，發射單位會核對許多指令和多組密碼，然後才會進行發射操作。核潛艇不是無人機，裡面是有官兵的！根本不可能被遙控，更不可能簡單輸進一組密碼後，要它射就射，要它不射就不射！當然，有人會說，我才他X的不在乎什麼劇情合不合理，我只要看美美的全智賢跟帥帥的姜棟元「喇舌」！如果是這樣，好，當我沒說。

桃園市議長邱奕勝是在地青埔人，3日應邀出席上樑典禮表示，廣天寺於民國57年興建，早年青埔地區週邊都是農田，人口少，隨著高鐵桃園站、機捷開通，以及青埔區內各項重大建設陸續進駐，區內大樓如雨後春筍般林立，人口激增，也使廣天寺寺頂的地藏王菩薩大佛像，成為區內醒目一景。

邱奕勝說，廣天寺位於青埔區內的菁華地段，就位於高鐵桃園站、機捷A18站附近，早期青埔地區進行重劃時，縣政府要把寺方千坪的土地，納入重劃，寺方考量到信眾的需求，免於受到舟車勞頓之苦，保留該一宗教用地，寺方此一做法讓他迄今印象深刻。

廣天持新建香客大樓，雖為地上3層樓建物，但因每層挑高7米，完工後實際建物樓高可達4樓。至於，為何要興建香客大樓？主委李文鈺說，原「廣天寺」的管理中心和大殿老舊，為了讓信眾在參與宗教活動時有更好的便利性與舒適度，完工後的香客大樓除規劃香客住宿房間，大樓同時也做為管理中心，頂樓將做為大雄寶殿，一樓並有10間店舖。

而現今舊的管理中心和大殿，則會拆掉做停車場，未來信徒到訪也更方便停車，廣天寺寺頂的地藏王菩薩大佛像也會保留。

歷經 14 年的長征《Minecraft》實況主 KurtJMac 終於抵達傳說中的「邊境之地」（Far Lands）。這場名挑戰計畫自 2011 年 3 月展開，最終於 2025 年 10 月 4 日 劃下句點，KurtJMac 直播中走進位於遊戲世界邊緣、扭曲破碎的地形傳說。

after over 14 years, KurtJMac has reached the Minecraft far lands by WALKING over 12 MILLION blocks from spawn!he has also raised over $500,000 for different charities over his 14 year 'Far Lands or bust' series! pic.twitter.com/JQE3w7kGNy

— oli (@highkeyhateme) October 5, 2025 所謂「邊境之地」並非官方設定的地區，而是遊戲早期版本在地圖邊界生成演算法出錯所形成的異常地形，那裡地貌坑洞密佈、垂直錯亂，據估計距離世界中心約 12,550,821 方塊，若完全不開修改或指令要徒步抵達這個地點，得花上數百小時以上的時間。

由於這個漏洞在後續版本已被修正，KurtJMac 壯舉是在 Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 版本中完成的，他在長達 3 小時 43 分 25 秒的直播影片中，駕著小船穿越海洋、衝向遠方的迷霧，直到那片霧牆突然變成了高聳的「邊境之地」岩壁，標誌著這趟 14 年的旅程結束。

值得一提的是 KurtJMac 並非首位成功徒步抵達「邊境之地」的玩家，另一位玩家 KilloCrazyMan 早在 2020 年 6 月、僅用 9 個月便完成挑戰。然而 KurtJMac 挑戰系列因持續時間最長、並獲得金氏世界紀錄「Minecraft 最長旅程」而聞名。此外，自 2011 年開播以來，該系列透過觀眾募款共為慈善機構募得超過 52.5 萬美元，受惠對象包括 Child’s Play、Direct Relief 與 PAWS（動物保護組織）。

截至目前，他已發布 超過 800 集節目，總步行時間高達數百小時。雖然成功抵達「邊境之地」被視為這段冒險的終章，但 KurtJMac 並未停下腳步。他在官網上寫到，「邊境之地周邊仍有許多異常地形與奇觀等待探索，這趟旅程還遠未結束，也許還會持續數月甚至數年之久。」

▲獸醫師表示，千萬不要讓貓戴柚子帽，2成分恐影響貓過敏，甚至上吐下瀉。（圖／翻攝自貓行為獸醫師林子軒）

記者趙蔡州／綜合報導

中秋節到來，許多人會吃柚子（文旦）應景，事後還會將柚子皮做成「柚子帽」，戴在頭上感受過節氣息，但也有獸醫提醒，柚子皮的氣味會讓貓的呼吸道因刺激感而產生不適外，若貓咪不慎舔食，更可能發生上吐下瀉等症狀。

貓行為獸醫師林子軒6日表示，柚子具有（柑橘精油）和 Psoralens（補骨脂素），這種氣味會讓貓的呼吸道因刺激感而產生不適外，也可能因為接觸到皮膚而產生紅腫過敏現象，「若貓不小心舔食，則有可能有出現精神食欲不振，上吐下瀉等症狀，若有類似情況，請盡速帶貓就醫」。

林子軒說，「所以沒事不要亂打貓的歪主意，即使你的貓戴柚子帽照片賺到超多讚，終究也折抵不了醫藥費，想要戴的自己戴就好」、「千萬不要讓貓戴柚子帽，大家一起努力將這個知識變成普遍的常識」。

▲勇士波傑姆斯基爆料與勇士三巨頭的相處合作秘訣。（圖／達志影像／美聯社）

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

NBA西區人氣勁旅金州勇士6日在季前熱身賽首戰告捷，以111比103撂倒洛杉磯湖人，勇士陣中小將波傑姆斯基（Brandin Podziemski）此役被賦予先發重任，全場繳出8分、4助攻、2抄截表現穩定。賽後被問到與勇士資深三巨頭搭配秘訣，波傑姆斯基表示，「我認為與任何優秀球員一起打球的關鍵，就是不要總是聽從他們，不能老是把球交給他們來打！」

勇士休賽季直到開季前最後關頭，才正式底定相關補強計畫，不過球隊主力陣容大致維持不變，三巨頭柯瑞（Stephen Curry）、巴特勒（Jimmy Butler）、格林（Draymond Green）全數上陣迎敵，最終也順利幫助球隊搶下熱身賽首戰勝利。

與勇士三巨頭搭配邁入第2季的22歲小將波傑姆斯基，被問到為何能快速適應和柯瑞、巴特勒的搭配時就表示，「我認為，與任何優秀球員一起打球的關鍵，就是不要總是聽從他們的話！」

波傑姆斯基進一步解釋，「柯瑞、巴特勒以及格林的年紀都越來越大，你不能總是把球交給他們，然後看著他們來打，這需要一些微妙的平衡，既要了解隊友特點，也要記住自己同樣也是職業球員。」

休賽季期間，勇士「士官長」巴特勒也組織了一個迷你訓練營，參訓其中的波傑姆斯基也透露，「巴特勒的訓練營太棒了，那是一次很棒的團隊經驗，也增進了彼此的凝聚力，除了籃球之外，我們也聊了很多其他話題，甚至玩了一些撲克牌，除了和新隊友們相互了解，我也學習到很多關於巴特勒以及這個團隊的事情。」

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

NBA波士頓塞爾提克當家球星坦圖（Jayson Tatum）在上賽季季後賽遭遇阿基里斯腱撕裂傷勢，5月進行手術至今，不僅已經脫去保護靴，甚至已經開始進行無對抗性的球場訓練，恢復狀況神速。綠衫軍陣中另一位明星球員布朗（Jaylen Brown）就表示，「坦圖狀態看起來很棒，我沒看過像他這樣在跟腱傷勢恢復如此神速的球員。」

今年5月在東區季後賽遭遇右腳阿基里斯腱撕裂的嚴峻傷勢，並於同月進行手術治療，一般預料在這樣的嚴峻運動傷害下，坦圖的2025-26賽季已經宣告提前報銷。

不過這位現年27歲的塞爾提克一哥，僅用了不到半年時間，就除去保護靴，甚至開始進行投籃、重量訓練，在開季媒體日上，坦圖也正式著裝換上球衣、球鞋面對媒體，展現新賽季回歸的強大決心。

塞爾提克明星雙槍之一的布朗就表示，「坦圖看起來很棒，我從來沒有看過像他這樣，從跟腱傷勢恢復如此快速的球員，事實上，他從任何傷病的恢復都是這麼的快，這真的很瘋狂。」

坦圖上賽季平均可繳出26.8分、8.7籃板、6助攻、1.1抄截，連續4季獲選聯盟「年度第一隊」，可說是當代最強小前鋒代表性人物。

明天是（8日）24節氣中的「寒露」，民俗專家廖大乙表示，「寒露」是轉變的開始，尤其生肖屬龍、狗、牛、羊的人更是轉運的時機，可把握「進二退三」的天時，即從今天起到寒露，以及8日寒露到10日，見天雙手合十為台灣祈福，集善念為大我，即能為自己立功德，改變運勢。

「寒露」是第17個節氣，該節氣一到，表示季節入深秋，即將迎來冬天，露水增多，早晚也漸有涼意。廖大乙指出，季節的轉換是一次運勢的轉變，因此在秋天要迎接冬季的節氣，希望甩掉前3個季節的不順，可利用「寒露」這個節氣簡單做幾件事，即能趨吉避凶。

廖大乙表示，「寒露」這天正沖生肖屬龍，偏沖屬狗、牛、羊的人，這幾個生肖的朋友，有宗教信仰的人，可到常去的寺廟拜拜，向神明發願要行善布施，而沒有宗教信仰的人，只要在見天的地方，雙手合十為台灣祈求風調雨順、國泰民安，集善念就能為台灣帶來好的轉變，大我變好，個人自然也跟著變順變旺。

「進二退三皆是吉日」，廖大乙說，中秋到寒露是「進二」，國曆10月10日到寒露是「退三」，這幾天都是可以祈求轉運的好日子，因此今天起到國慶日，除了龍、狗、牛、馬4生肖，其他生肖的人也可把握吉日為自己為國家祈福，善念聚集愈多願力就愈大。

以上為民俗說法 僅供參考

title: 外資大舉撤離中國原因：北京嚴控資本流動、政策又不明確

content_text:
在外商投資不斷減少的背景下，中國試圖吸引外資回歸，但關注中國投資機會的全球投資人仍對北京的諸多限制保持警惕，包括對資本流動的嚴格控制，以及缺乏政策的清晰度。（彭博資料照）〔編譯盧永山／綜合報導〕CNBC報導，在外商投資不斷減少的背景下，中國試圖吸引外資回歸，但關注中國投資機會的全球投資人仍對北京的諸多限制保持警惕，包括對資本流動的嚴格控制，以及缺乏政策的清晰度。

對外資而言，上週在新加坡舉行的米爾肯研究院亞洲峰會（Milken Institute）傳遞的訊息很明確，那就是中國雖然大到不能忽視，但北京當局的控制力太強且不透明，難以完全信任。

香港交易所前行政總裁、金融科技創新公司「滴灌通」（Micro Connect）李小加坦言：「這（中國）是1個資本控制的市場，透過剝奪儲戶轉移資金的自由，一切都受到了保護。」

過去2年，中國的資本外逃創下紀錄，外資撤出中國的速度達到數十年來最快。在中國房地產市場長期低迷、內需疲弱，以及美中緊張關係持續升溫的背景下，中國正在擺脫通縮壓力。

北京當局今年試圖扭轉這個趨勢，承諾進一步向外資開放經濟，包括總理李強在內的高層官員召開圓桌會議，以解決外國企業的擔憂，創造良好的資本環境。但這可能是1場艱苦的戰鬥，因為在米爾肯研究院亞洲峰會上的發言，瀰漫著一股憂慮的氣氛。

耶魯大學金融與創業學教授馬松表示，影響投資人情緒的最大風險是中國的政策不明確，外資仍須面對1個受到廣泛監管和政府干預的體系，某些關鍵產業的市場准入和退出途徑仍不明確，「國家支持的基金仍然控制著大量與科技和國防安全相關優質資產」。

對於追求長期投資策略的外國機構投資人而言，這種不確定性令他們無法接受。

Partners Capital合夥人華生（Adam Watson）表示：「當你承銷新的私人投資時，你需要對10年後的環境有更深的了解。外資也擔憂，用來取得中國境內資產的某些法律框架的穩定性。」

華生指出，Partners Capital已將對中國市場的曝險部位由2018年投資組合配置的約8%，降至2021年以來的3%左右，理由是中國政府對私營部門的干預更為積極，且中國股市最近這波反彈之前缺乏引人注目的機會。

根據中國國際收支平衡表數據，中國的淨流入外國直接投資（FDI）從2021年的3340億美元（新台幣10.2兆元）高峰，暴跌至2024年的淨流出1540億美元（新台幣4.7兆元），創下20年來最慘紀錄，顯示外資已轉投資其他國家。中國商務部的數據也顯示，今年截至8月，FDI較去年同期下降12.7%。

在川普政府將芝加哥形容為「戰區」後，伊利諾州與芝加哥市6日提起訴訟，試圖阻止川普政府向芝加哥派駐國民兵部隊。由於川普強硬打擊移民和犯罪，民主黨人指控他試圖鞏固威權，雙方因此展開正面對決，美國各地政治危機升高。

川普4日再度下令調派300名國民兵進駐全美第3大城芝加哥，以保護當地的聯邦人員與設施。川普長期以來一直威脅要向芝加哥派兵，但目前仍不清楚這些部隊何時以及具體將部署在何處。

訴狀指出：「被告將國民兵聯邦化並派往伊利諾州的行動，顯然違法。」請求法院「制止這種非法、危險且違憲的行為」。

訴狀強調，「美國人民，無論置身何處，都不應生活在美軍佔領威脅之下，尤其不應僅僅因為他們的城市或州的領導層不受總統歡迎，就被如此對待。」

這份訴狀於伊利諾州聯邦地方法院提交，主張這類部隊調動乃基於政治動機，並指出川普長期以來對芝加哥與伊利諾州發表「具威脅性與侮辱性」言論。被告名單中包括總統本人、國土安全部部長諾姆（Kristi Noem），以及戰爭部（國防部）部長赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）。

伊利諾州的訴訟緊隨奧勒岡州針對川普政府將國民兵派往波特蘭的法律挑戰之後。對於川普一再將波特蘭形容為「戰火肆虐」，美國地區法院法官伊莫蓋特（Karin Immergut）頒佈臨時禁令，指「總統的認定完全脫離事實」。

川普此前已經動用國民兵部隊，做為鎮壓洛杉磯與華盛頓特區的反移民暨海關執法局（ICE）抗議行動。伊利諾州州長普里茨克（JB Pritzker）對此強烈譴責。他在5日得知聯邦政府還計畫向伊利諾州與奧勒岡州等地派遣400名德州國民兵後，將此舉形容為「一場入侵」。

普里茨克在美國有線電視新聞網（CNN）「美國國情」（State of the Union）節目中批評，共和黨人刻意在街頭製造「混亂」，「他們想弄出個戰區，以便能派出更多軍隊。他們必須立刻撤離。」

title: 綠帽男平白幫小王養女兒近11年 向生父母求償 律師這麼解析

content_text:
男子阿律平白幫別人養女兒近11年，一審法官判阿律的阮姓前妻應賠一半扶養費93萬元給阿律。對於另一半扶養費的求償，律師施志遠認為，阿律必須明確知悉次女的生父是何人，若無法確認生父對象是誰，這一半的扶養費恐求償無望。

曾任法官的守諺法律事務所律師施志遠表示，我國民法第1084條第2項規定，父母對於子女有保護及教養的義務，解釋上當然包含扶養義務。反過來說，假如誤以為是自己的子女而為扶養，實際上不是自己所生的子女，即可依不當得利之法律關係，向該子女的生父或生母主張已墊付之扶養費必須返還。

而在婚姻關係中，配偶所生下的子女自動「推定」為丈夫之婚生子女，倘若丈夫對該子女有存疑非其親生，除可私底下採集該子女具有DNA的檢體，如血液、唾液或毛髮，向坊間實驗室或醫院申請鑑驗外，亦可向法院提出確認親子關係不存在之訴訟，可由法院將檢體送請法務部調查局或醫院做檢驗，以確認親子關係。

本案原告阿律已取得他與次女的親子關係鑑定報告、確認次女不是他的親生女兒，可依不當得利的法律關係，向女兒的生母（即阮姓前妻）求償扶養費用，一審法官判阮女要給付應負擔的一半扶養費用。

至於另一半扶養費，應由次女的生父（即阮女外遇對象）負擔，施志遠認為，如阿律能找出次女的生父並採集到DNA檢體，即可與次女的檢體做鑑定比對確認親子關係，以利求償；但如阮女表明不知道、或不願透露外遇對象身分，那阿律想對孩子的生父求償扶養費，就有很高的難度。

男子阿律與阮姓女子於2009年結婚，婚後育有兩名女兒，因次女出生後五官、習性與阿律及家族成員不同；又聽說阮女疑有外遇，後於2024年委託鑑定確定次女不是阿律所生。阿律憤指平白幫阮女與阮的「外遇小王」扶養女兒長達近11年，要討回這些年的扶養費。台南地院判認阿律付出的扶養費為186萬元，阮女須分攤一半、要賠阿律93萬元。

阿律（化名）與阮女在2009年結婚後，婚姻歷近9年，於2018年中離婚。阿律指出，他與阮女結婚後生有兩名女兒，但次女於2014年出生後五官、習性和他及長女、家族其他成員都不同；他又聽說妻子疑有外遇情事，直到2024年12月委請第三方鑑定單位，鑑定他與次女有無親子血緣關係？

鑑定單位報告「明確排除」阿律與次女有一親等直系血親關係，阿律驚覺幫別人養了10年的女兒且扶養迄今，縱然阿律與阮女離婚後，次女仍由阿律扶養。阿律根據行政院主計處公布的台南市每人月平均消費支出，主張這些年花在次女的扶養費高達251萬多元，他沒有支付這筆扶養費的法律義務，基於阮女不當得利、提告要向前妻求償這筆扶養費。

法院開辯論庭時，阮女未到場也未提出任何書狀陳述。一審法官依據阿律鑑定報告等舉證，認定其次女不是阿律所生，因阿律與次女沒有血緣關係、即無扶養義務；阮女是次女的生母有扶養義務，阿律依法可向阮女討回扶養費。

法官並說，阿律次女住在南部，依行政院主計處公布台南市平均每人月消費支出與阿律財力非佳等考量，認定次女1月扶養費應以1萬5千元計算，累計從2014年底到2025年3月底，阿律支出的次女扶養費為186萬元，阮女應與次女的生父（即外遇對象）平均分攤這筆費用，阿律可向阮女求償半數的扶養費（93萬元）；此案還可上訴。

駐泰代表處今晚在曼谷舉行國慶酒會，泰國政要、軍警、媒體和華僑社團出席致賀。駐泰代表藍夏禮強調，台泰間擁有巨大合作潛力。他稱台灣是泰國未來經濟發展的理想夥伴，並細數兩國情誼和豐碩的合作成果。

駐泰代表藍夏禮指出，今晚正逢中秋佳節，他對逾千人仍蒞臨國慶酒會表示感謝，並說這正展現大家對台灣深厚情誼與支持的最佳見證。他在致詞時分享他最近接受媒體專訪時，曾以「美麗」、「創新」與「韌性」3個詞形容台灣。

他提及台灣被譽為全球最安全、最友善的旅遊目的地之一，2015年起至疫情前，每年有超過1000萬國際觀光客到訪台灣，「而光是2024年，也有近40萬名泰國朋友前來旅遊」。

另外，藍夏禮還提及，台灣在全球人工智慧（AI）、半導體與資通訊產業中扮演關鍵角色，許多國際大廠選擇在台設立研發中心，凸顯台灣在推動全球創新的重要地位，也展現台灣盼成為「AI島嶼」的企圖心。

他也說，台灣具有韌性，今年第2季台灣的國內生產毛額（GDP）成長率逾8%，在全亞洲名列前茅，展現強勁的經濟韌性。

藍夏禮表示，在總統賴清德承諾打造「經濟日不落國」的願景下，外交部長林佳龍推動「總合外交」與「經濟外交」相互呼應，期盼能結合公私部門的力量，透過「榮邦計畫」持續推動「五大信賴產業」及「數位新南向政策」。

他強調，台泰間擁有巨大合作潛力，2024年，台灣位居泰國第4大外資來源國及第5大貿易夥伴，台灣是泰國未來經濟發展的理想夥伴；且兩國具有淵源流長的情誼與豐碩的合作成果。

許多泰國政要、軍警、民意代表和媒體記者皆出席國慶酒會。首次參加國慶酒會的泰國檢察官林成（Nattanon Limsakul）曾在台灣留學。他表示，今天感覺好像回到台灣，倍感親切，感覺「台灣人真的很友善」。

教過許多台灣學生的泰語老師帕莉亞（Parinya Wongtawan）則告訴中央社，「今天的活動太完美了」並補充說，台灣和泰國有很多相似之處，人們都很友善。

從事美容業、旅居泰國逾20年的朱麗育每年都會來到國慶酒會，她表示，這是在異國一年一次台灣人的聚會，很感動。

國慶酒會迎賓背板以「台灣晶圓韌性」為設計概念，結合國慶主視覺及101大樓地標。冰雕裝置則以「114」字樣搭配台灣地圖內嵌印刷電路板圖案，並加入「TAIWAN」字樣等元素打造，彰顯台灣在全球半導體產業鏈的關鍵角色，及政府致力打造「AI人工智慧島」，吸引眾多賓客駐足拍照。

另外，酒會還安排旅泰台灣人和泰國音樂家組成的「泰灣室內管弦樂團」（Thai-wan Chamber Orchestra），演奏多首台灣經典歌曲及民謠組曲，為活動增添台灣文化色彩，並有多名身著傳統泰服嘉賓即興起舞，增添酒會泰國風情與歡樂氣氛。


title: 健康網》陽明交大發現1免疫基因 可望促發肝臟疾病新藥物

content_text:
陽明交通大學醫學院生理學科暨研究所及微菌叢研究中心從小鼠上實驗中發現新免疫基因─Nfil3，是代謝醫學的新突破；圖為情境照。（圖取自freepik）

〔健康頻道／綜合報導〕陽明交通大學醫學院生理學科暨研究所及微菌叢研究中心團隘發現了一個名為Nfil3的基因，在脂肪肝惡化過程中扮演「總開關」角色，能同時調控腸道菌群、膽汁酸代謝與肝臟免疫反應。這項研究的臨床意涵重大，肝臟疾病治療藥物可望出現新局面。

陽明交通大學醫學院生理學科暨研究所及微菌叢研究中心於期刊《Communications Biology》發表研究成果，此刊在全球生物學領域排名前7.5%，代表台灣在Gut─Liver Axis與代謝疾病研究上獲得國際肯定。

陽明交通大學醫學院生理學科暨研究所及微菌叢研究中心副主任吳莉玲表示，Nfil3不只是免疫基因，它就像身體裡的總開關，串連腸道菌、膽汁酸與肝臟代謝免疫。當這個開關失靈，整個腸─肝軸就會出現連鎖錯誤，推動脂肪肝從單純堆積走向發炎與纖維化。

這項研究的臨床意涵重大，不僅提供了疾病機制的新視角，也開啟了多條轉譯應用的路徑：

●新藥物靶點：Nfil3作為腸─肝軸的「總開關」，其下游訊號網絡涵蓋FXR、FGF15、免疫細胞活化及膽汁酸轉運。若能針對Nfil3或其調控節點設計抑制劑、拮抗劑或小分子調節劑，未來有望開發出新型肝臟疾病治療藥物，從源頭調整代謝與免疫平衡。

●微生態治療：除了直接藥物干預外，透過益生菌、後生元、特定代謝物或飲食介入，改善腸道菌群與膽汁酸環境，也能間接修復腸─肝軸的失衡。這種「微生態療法」可作為傳統藥物之外的輔助或預防策略，尤其適合代謝異常早期族群。

●生物標誌物：本研究提出「Nfil3–FXR–FGF15軸」的新概念，提供疾病風險分層與療效監測的新指標。結合血液、糞便及代謝組學檢測，有望建立一套快速、非侵入性的檢測平台，用來預測脂肪肝惡化風險、追蹤治療反應，實現真正的「早期預警」與「動態監控」。

研究揭示腸─肝軸在男、女性間的顯著差異，顯示「一體適用」的治療方式可能忽略性別因素。未來可根據不同性別的膽汁酸代謝、腸道菌群結構及免疫反應，設計個人化、性別化的預防與治療方案，讓臨床介入更精準、更有效。

近日有網友分享一位大兵將自己的帽子送給一名向同袍熱情揮手打招呼的小女孩的感人畫面，掀起網路熱烈討論。（圖翻攝自Threads）

花蓮馬太鞍溪堰塞湖溢流，重創位處下游的光復鄉，國軍第一時間就進駐災區救災，讓災民們相當感謝，這幾天時常可以看到民眾在災區對國軍弟兄敬禮致意。近日有網友分享一位大兵將自己的帽子送給一名向同袍熱情揮手打招呼的小女孩的感人畫面，掀起網路熱烈討論，大批鄉民狂讚這位大兵不僅帥氣還相當有愛，甚至有不少人敲碗讓該影片成為國軍徵兵廣告。影片瘋傳之後，竟然還釣出當事大兵的愛妻，分享老公得知自己爆紅後的回應！

粉專「Mr.柯學先生」6日晚間在臉書轉發同日在各社群平台瘋傳的影片，可以看到一群國軍弟兄列隊，人手一支鏟子走在光復鄉街道上，一名小女孩在街道旁熱情地向這些國軍弟兄揮手打招呼，阿兵哥們也開心地給予回應，有的和女孩拍手，有的則是和女孩一起比愛心，畫面相當溫馨。國軍隊伍走到最後，一位戴著眼鏡的大兵突然拿著迷彩漁夫帽，默默地走向這位小女孩，將帽子戴在女孩頭上，摸了摸頭後，十分帥氣地轉身離開，女孩則露出驚喜的表情。

這段影片曝光後馬上讓大批網友讚爆，「帥到一個不行」、「真的從靈魂帥到表皮！帥到突破地表直衝天際！」、「這可以拿去做徵兵廣告了吧」、「這個影片真的很適合放到國軍人才招募中心，簡直就是帥炸了」、「敲碗國防部快來看，直接拿去用，帥到一個頂天」、「這才是軍人榜樣！」、「這是什麼國軍人才招募廣告！帥翻了啊！謝謝所有國軍超人」、「國軍人才招募丟一百萬宣傳費也不及這一個瞬間了！帥爛了」、「真的被帥一個措手不及」。

隨後一位自稱是這位帥大兵老婆的女網友在Threads上發文，「每天都在脆上海巡一下有沒有自己老公，本來只能從一些影片或照片一角看到，沒想到他給我來了一個大的！而且還是這麼帥的！這些天來每個國軍弟兄都辛苦了！鏟子超人們也辛苦了！一起為光復加油」。原PO透露，老公告訴她「單純覺得妹妹會喜歡（那頂帽子）就給她了」，「對了，他還說家園由我們來守護！帥爛！」

原PO還分享老公與她的對話截圖，可以看到老公自豪地貼出國軍弟兄們將光復商工地下室、佛祖街等地清理乾乾淨淨的照片，想要老婆給稱讚，展現大兵私下可愛的一面。

就任未滿月的法國總理勒克努才剛公布新內閣名單，即於今天請辭獲准，成為法國第5共和任期最短的總理。總統馬克宏再度面臨難題，他可以任命新總理，或又一次解散國民議會，或辭職下台。

勒克努（Sebastien Lecornu）昨晚公布新內閣名單，有新成員加入，也有內政部長荷泰佑（Bruno Retailleau）、司法部長達馬南（Gerald Darmanin）等人獲留任。

名單出爐後，來自右派共和黨（LR）的荷泰佑不滿一些馬克宏（Emmanuel Macron）支持者入閣，尤其是前財政部長勒麥爾（Bruno Le Maire）意外被任命為國防部長。

世界報（Le Monde）提到，勒麥爾重返政府，對共和黨來說是一種冒犯，因為勒麥爾被視為公共財政失衡及政治人物一再回鍋政府的象徵。

荷泰佑公開表達憤怒，在執政聯盟內部引爆矛盾，促使勒克努在召開第一場內閣會議之前就決定辭職。

勒克努赴總統府艾里賽宮（Elysee）請辭後說，他在尋求共識的過程中發現，每個政黨都期望其他政黨完全採納自己的計畫。

他表示，許多人堅持一堆不可踰越的紅線，很少有同意之處；然而，政黨之間達成妥協的原則就是整合彼此同意的部分，同時考量各自的底線。他最終期望各政黨「將國家置於政黨之上」。

馬克宏去年6月解散國民議會（Assemblee Nationale），已損及市場對法國的信心。前任總理白胡（Francois Bayrou）因預算案爭議引發反對派不滿，向國會提出信任投票，最終未能過關，於9月9日請辭下台，在任也僅9個月。

如今勒克努辭職消息一出，巴黎CAC 40指數重挫近2%，銀行股首當其衝，興業銀行（Societe generale）等主要銀行股價下跌5.5%到7.5%不等。

法國眼前最急迫的問題，是必須在10月13日之前提出2026年財政法案，隨後向國會提交，以便在今年12月31日之前頒布。

但在缺乏國民議會多數席位的情況下，馬克宏一直難以推動人事及預算議程。

他接下來有3種選項，第一是任命新總理，其二是再次解散國民議會，第三則是辭職下台。

法國新聞台（franceinfo）分析，經過前總理巴尼耶（Michel Barnier）、白胡和勒克努的失敗後，再從中間偏右派的泛執政聯盟找人出任總理似乎並不明智。

左派社會黨（PS）表明願意「承擔國家重責大任」，但不確定馬克宏是否願意任命左派總理；況且，一旦由左派人士出任新總理，右派極有可能不再支持馬克宏。

極右翼「國民聯盟」（RN）領袖瑪琳．雷朋（Marine Le Pen）今天說，馬克宏辭職會是一個「明智」決定，她也認為馬克宏「絕對有必要」再次解散國民議會。

極左派「不屈法國」（LFI）領袖梅蘭雄（ Jean-Luc Melenchon）也要求立即審議罷免馬克宏的動議案。

不過，馬克宏去年解散國會引發影響深遠的政治動盪，重新選舉對於民調支持率正在下滑的馬克宏陣營來說，也存在很大風險。

雖然陸續出現希望馬克宏下台的呼聲，但目前看來他無意自行辭職。無論如何，決斷的壓力最終又落回馬克宏身上。

title: 英政府否認導致中國間諜案撤告 指檢依前朝政策決定

countries: 中國 英國

兩名男子在英國被控為中國從事間諜活動的審判破局，英國首相施凱爾（見圖）的發言人表示，政府並未涉入。（法新社）

英國政府今天表示，對於兩名男子被控為中國從事間諜活動的審判破局，政府並未涉入，強調是檢方依據前朝政府處理中國政策所使用措辭而作出的決定。

路透社報導，上個月，英國檢察官在審判即將展開前數週，出人意料地撤銷對這兩人的中國間諜指控。

這兩人分別是現年30歲、曾任國會智庫中國研究小組（China Research Group）主任的凱希（Christopher Cash），以及33歲的貝瑞（Christopher Berry）。他們2023年3月首次被捕，並於次年4月遭控向中國情報人員洩漏具有政治敏感性的資訊。兩人對所有指控皆予以否認。

檢方依據政府機密法（Official Secrets Act）提出指控。該法規定，向「敵國」傳遞任何可能有利於對方的文件屬於犯罪。

過去一週，英國多家媒體報導，政府為維持與北京的良好關係，拒絕在法庭上將中國稱為「敵國」，導致本案的指控基礎動搖。

英國首相施凱爾（Keir Starmer）的發言人今天表示，前一任政府的政策是稱中國為「劃時代的挑戰」，但始終未明確將其定位為敵國。

發言人向媒體表示：「本案相關證據，依據的是前一任政府當時的政策立場。」

一直執政至2024年的保守黨（Conservative Party）與其他反對黨，指控施凱爾所屬的工黨（Labour Party）政府刻意讓審判破局，以避免激怒中國。

法律專家則指出，撤銷指控的決定可能還有其他考量，包括不願曝光英國情報人員的作業方式。

首相新聞秘書補充，2023年通過的「國家安全法」（National Security Act）未來將賦予檢方更大彈性，可在更多情境下對間諜嫌疑人提起訴訟。

史瓦帝尼政府今天表示，已接收從美國遣返的10名第三國公民。這是史瓦帝尼繼7月接收首批5名遣返者後，再度接收由美國遣返的第三國公民。

史瓦帝尼矯正署發聲明表示，矯正署確認接收了來自美國的10名第三國公民。

根據矯正署聲明，這些人將被安置在矯正設施中，直到他們能被遣返至各自的母國。聲明中並說，他們目前健康狀況良好，正在進行安置程序。

美國政府方面暫未立即發表聲明。

美國總統川普致力於遣返數百萬名非法居留的移民，其政府也試圖透過將部分移民遣送至第三國的方式，加強這項驅逐行動。

根據史瓦帝尼昨晚聲明，史瓦帝尼10月將依照與美國川普政府達成的協議，接收11名來自美國的遣返者，但未說明他們的國籍。

史瓦帝尼尚未公開與川普政府簽署協議的具體內容。史瓦帝尼政府正面臨本地維權人士的訴訟挑戰，他們指控此協議違法。

今年首批被遣送至史瓦帝尼的5名移民分別來自越南、牙買加、寮國、古巴與葉門。其中一名來自牙買加的男子已在牙買加政府合作下被遣返回國；另有兩人預計近期遣返。

〔記者王榮祥／花蓮報導〕花蓮縣光復鄉的中秋夜，月亮跟其他地方一樣皎潔，但多數家戶為清理家園已忙了10多天，實在沒好心情賞月，反而車站前不少超人刻意停留，欣賞異鄉月圓。

上一波教師節連假及這一回中秋連假，全台超人湧入光復鄉協助復原，加上國軍全力投入、及民間企業團體自發支援，順利在中秋節前、完成絕大部分家戶與街道清淤，助光復鄉親恢復泥濘前的日常。

中秋夜晚，光復鄉大部分人家選擇早早休息，或繼續清理細部環境，儘管月亮夠圓夠亮，多數鄉親也無心賞月，更鮮少看到中秋常有的烤肉聚會。

唯獨光復車站前，部分較晚離開的超人們，三五成群坐在階梯上，一起欣賞異鄉的月亮，也為自己的超人經歷留下更多回憶。

中華職棒例行賽最終戰拚個人獎，樂天桃猿隊陳晨威今天敲出 2 安，沒能跑出盜壘成功，無緣完成盜壘王 4 連霸；本季盜壘王、安打王確定由味全龍隊李凱威奪下。

中華職棒例行賽今天最後一戰由統一 7-ELEVEn 獅隊與樂天桃猿隊交手，比賽無關晉級，但攸關個人獎項，賽前桃猿隊野手陳晨威累積 27 次盜壘，僅次於味全龍隊李凱威的 28 盜，陳晨威安打數 131 安、也僅次於李凱威的 134 安。

陳晨威今天 3 局上跑出內野安打，但沒能成功盜壘，延長賽 10 局上再敲出安打，但二壘上有跑者陳佳樂，陳晨威沒有盜壘時機只能苦笑，退場後總教練古久保健二送上擁抱。

陳晨威今天總計 6 打數敲出 2 支安打、沒有盜壘，本季安打數 133 安、 27 次盜壘成功，沒能超車、無緣獎項。陳晨威 2020 年首度拿下中職盜壘王， 2022 至 2024 年間完成盜壘王 3 連霸，今年無緣挑戰 4 連霸。

李凱威則是以 28 次盜壘成功、 134 支安打，首度奪下中職盜壘王和安打王。

其餘獎項方面，台鋼雄鷹隊洋砲魔鷹（ Steven Moya ）以 25 轟完成全壘打王連霸，雄鷹隊吳念庭奪下打擊王，打點王則是龍隊吉力吉撈．鞏冠。

中信兄弟洋投羅戈（ Nivaldo Rodr í guez ）拿下防禦率王，桃猿隊威能帝（ Pedro Fernandez ）以 15 勝拿下勝投王、 168 次三振奪下三振王，雄鷹隊林詩翔以 30 次救援成功拿下救援王，獅隊日籍投手髙塩將樹拿下中繼王。

統一 7-ELEVEn 獅隊與樂天桃猿交手，獅隊老將胡金龍生涯例行賽終戰用全壘打畫句點；兩隊鏖戰至延長賽第 10 局，桃猿以 5 比 4 搶勝，兩隊將於 10 日起季後挑戰賽交手。

獅隊以澄清湖棒球場為主場迎戰桃猿隊，兩隊攻勢往來，桃猿隊 3 局上成晉敲出個人本季首轟、陽春砲幫助球隊先馳得點，再靠著李勛傑適時安打送回第 2 分。

獅隊前 5 局沒有拿下分數，6 局下 1 人出局後，獅隊朱迦恩率先敲出安打，胡金龍代打上場開轟，敲出追平比數 2 分砲。

桃猿隊 7 局上靠著失誤、觸身球保送、李勛傑安打、獅隊守備再發生失誤，單局攻下 2 分超前；獅隊 7 局下陳維祥敲出中職生涯首安就是全壘打、陽春砲幫助球隊追分，獅隊8局上邱智呈率先敲出二壘打，靠著陳聖平安打跑回追平分。

兩隊鏖戰至延長賽第 10 局，桃猿隊陳佳樂安打推進、馬傑森高飛犧牲打送回超前分，獅隊 10 局下沒能追回分數吞敗。

「斐濟時報」4日刊登台灣駐斐濟代表周進發投書，強調台灣並非「自古以來」屬於中國，並且指出中國針對台灣地位的說法缺乏法律基礎。（駐斐濟代表處提供）圖片來源：中央社南太平洋島國斐濟第一大報「斐濟時報」（ The Fiji Times ）4 日刊登台灣駐斐濟代表周進發投書，內文根據史實強調台灣並非「自古以來」屬於中國，並且援引國際法指出中國針對台灣地位的說法，是缺乏法律基礎。

周進發指出，「斐濟時報」近日刊登中國駐斐濟大使館廣告，標題為「為何台灣是中國自古以來不可分割的一部分？」（ Explainer ： Why Is Taiwan an Inalienable Part of China ?）。對此，周進發向「斐濟時報」意見版投書，標題為「台灣不是中國的一部分：歷史與國際法均證明北京主張站不住腳」（ Taiwan is not part of China ： History and law disprove Beijing ’s claim ）。

他提到，中國長期透過政治宣傳塑造「台灣自古屬中國」的錯誤印象，但這種說法其實違背歷史事實與國際法。任何未經台灣人民同意、試圖以武力或歷史修正主義改變現狀的行為，都違反「聯合國憲章」及國際基本準則。

他在文中列舉歷史事實，說明台灣並非「自古以來」屬於中國，並說在任何中國王朝宣稱統治之前，台灣長期由南島語族原住民族居住，清朝直到 1683 年才納入台灣，並於 1895 年「馬關條約」中將台灣「永久割讓」予日本；故並不存在所謂「千年中國主權」的歷史脈絡。

周進發指出，中華人民共和國從未治理台灣；自 1949 年以來，台灣始終由中華民國政府治理，擁有自己的憲法、軍隊、民主選舉與完整行政體系，符合事實上的主權國家標準。

周進發又援引國際法，指中國針對台灣地位的說法缺乏法律基礎，聯合國 2758 號決議不等於台灣歸屬， 1971 年聯大僅處理「中國代表權」問題，並未處理台灣主權，更未授權北京「統一台灣」。

周進發表示，根據「蒙特維多公約」（ Montevideo Convention ），人口、領土、政府及對外能力才是國家要件；台灣在全球貿易、外交及國際經貿組織中活躍，具備完整主權實體條件。包括美國、歐盟在內多數國家採取「一中政策」，僅承認北京的立場存在，但不承認中共對台灣的主權，並明確反對以武力改變現狀。

他強調，台灣早已不是「內戰遺留問題」，自 1996 年起，台灣人民以民主投票方式選出總統，台灣的合法性源於 2300 萬人民的自主選擇，已成為成熟的民主國家。

他並呼籲國際社會共同捍衛以和平方式解決爭端、尊重人民自主選擇的普世價值，拒絕歷史修正主義與威脅手段。

title: 花蓮光復市區居民談重建　先清理家園不敢想太遠

taiwan-subdivisions: 花蓮 光復 中正 大同

content_text:
花蓮馬太鞍溪堰塞湖洪災已過2週，不少受災戶在「鏟子超人」協助下完成住家清理，不過多處街道仍泥濘不堪。多名居民談及重建想像表示，目前只能先清理，不敢想太遠。

光復火車站鄰近住家，洪災時水淹近 1 樓高，水退後淤泥達小腿高度。各方志工多日協助，才逐步清出生活空間，沿路卻仍塵土飛揚、泥濘難行。

中正路上一名 72 歲居民劉三妹在志工協助下完成清理，她在門前擺放物資、椅子，招呼志工休憩。她說，大水淹得太厲害，有些老人家來不及撤離不幸罹難，年輕人更不願返鄉，她也不敢再住光復，打算搬到花蓮市與兒子同住，老家若有人承租就出租。

許多受災戶清完淤泥後，1 樓空空如也。陳姓居民 1 樓經營雜貨店、2 樓為旅舍，家中仍堆滿毀損物資，她翻出一袋瓷器惋惜表示，整間店被大水清空，希望國賠越高越好，也盼人力資源不要中斷，協助重新裝修，至於是否繼續營業還要再考慮。

黃姓金紙行及免洗餐具店老闆娘談及未來忍不住落淚。她說，在地 30 年生意一夕全毀，損失數百萬元，「暫時門可以關就好」，思考重建心理壓力大。她 50 多歲，不知該退休還是繼續做，打算先休息一陣子慢慢想，也希望國賠能多一點。

大同村鄭姓居民表示，東西清完後才能思考下一階段，現在無法準確預測需要什麼資源，得先把水溝清好、移出淤泥垃圾，房子能住了再談重建。

邦查農場負責人蘇秀蓮說，政府指令不明，許多人不清楚要原地重建或遷村。不過，據她了解，大部分居民希望在地重建，政府應優先處理堰塞湖與堤防，居民才能展開重建。

蘇秀蓮預估，住家要半年才能恢復原有生活水準，農場地力修復則需2至3年。她長年從事有機農業多年，希望把土地重新整理好而非放棄。

記者採訪時，她正揮動鋤頭清理玫瑰周遭淤泥，她對一旁志工說：「它既然努力撐過了大水，我為什麼不給它希望？我救了它，它下次會開更多漂亮的花給你看。」

馬太鞍溪堰塞湖溢流重創花蓮光復地區，在地經營30年的黃姓老闆娘受訪時談及未來，忍不住落淚，她說，生意一夕全毀、損失數百萬元，「暫時門可以關就好」。圖片來源：中央社花蓮馬太鞍溪堰塞湖釀災，政院 7 日起啟動發放災後慰助金及一站式服務平台。政委陳金德今天表示，中央家園支持慰助金3 方案合計每戶新台幣 35 萬元，採「主動訪查、直接匯入」方式，災民不需到服務站排隊就可在家完成領取程序。

花蓮馬太鞍溪堰塞湖溢流釀災，總統賴清德昨天宣布，為給予災區最大支持，在既有「家園清理支持方案」每戶 5 萬元、以及「家園復原慰助金」每戶 10 萬元基礎上，再提供「房屋修復慰助金」每戶 20 萬元，合計每戶 35 萬元。行政院長卓榮泰也指示行政團隊簡化程序、加速撥款，並要求主動查訪、減少往返排隊等待時間。

陳金德今天透過新聞稿表示，慰助金一律以匯款方式撥付，現場不發現金。民眾若需協助辦理，仍可於 10 月7日至 12 日每天上午8時至傍晚5時，攜帶身分證及銀行存摺，前往「行政院災後慰助服務站」（花蓮縣光復鄉中正路一段 132 號，中華電信光復服務中心）洽辦。

陳金德說明，經現場受理核定後，慰助金同樣將直接匯入帳戶。如果身分證遺失，也可在現場辦理。

陳金德指出，中央已由內政部、交通部、經濟部、農業部、衛生福利部、環境部、金融監督管理委員會、原住民族委員會與賑災基金會等單位派員進駐，並分村負責核對慰助金。內政部與交通部負責大安村與大同村，經濟部與農業部負責大馬村與大平村，衛福部及環境部支援北富村與東富村訪查，原民會則負責大華村。

陳金德補充，各部會每天合計約派出 20 至 30 人逐戶協助，確認受災事實與金融帳號資料，經核對後將由衛福部統一撥款，直接匯入災戶帳號，如果遇到帳號異常、重複申領或租屋情形，將即時補正，確保補助正確、安全及快速。

陳金德解釋，一站式平台整合多項中央支援措施，涵蓋家園支持與修復、生活支援與安置、農業與農機補助、金融貸款協助、原住民族及社會支持、環境清理與公共設施修復等服務。

他舉例，像是提供家園清理支持方案及家園復原慰助金 15 萬元與房屋修復慰助金 20 萬元，短期安置旅宿免費入住與每月最高 1 萬 9000 元租金補貼，農田復原補助每公頃 10 萬元、農機補助最高 72 萬元等多元服務，後續將依災區需求彈性調整。

花蓮馬太鞍溪堰塞湖溢流重創光復鄉，來自各地的「鏟子超人」連假期間也持續湧入當地擔任志工，在保安寺由於有大量土砂堆積，志工現場裝填防汛砂包，將鋪設到農田邊坡上。圖片來源：中央社行政院提醒，如有疑問，可撥打「慰助金服務專線 02-7702-8028 」洽詢，或於 10 月7日至 12 日期間前往「行政院災後慰助服務站」辦理。行政院將秉持主動關懷與簡政便民原則，全力協助災區民眾早日重建家園。

title: 收中央「班班有鮮奶」爛攤 多地克服冷鏈難關

taiwan-subdivisions: 澎湖縣 桃園 雲林縣 屏東縣 新竹縣 新北 彰化縣 新北市 嘉義縣 高雄市 花蓮 南投 光復 基隆市 苗栗縣 宜蘭

content_text:
中央「班班有鮮奶」計畫去年喊卡，絕大多數縣市接手自辦，台東縣未續辦，花蓮因冷鏈不足，去年底起改給豆奶，基隆市則供應保久乳或豆奶。桃園市府說，過去農業部推動遭遇鮮乳冷鏈、校園發放等問題，如今都已解決，中央可參考桃園模式，提出全國性鮮乳政策與預算。

北市今年四月起推出「鮮奶週報－生生喝鮮奶」政策，每周兌換一次鮮奶。

教育局表示，為保障學童健康成長並支持本土酪農產業，指定商品皆是取得標章的鮮乳。

新北、桃園和台中市都預計明年二月上路。「政策目標之一是希望能對國產鮮乳有幫助。」但新北市教育局長張明文說，目前尚未討論是否綁定本土乳源，若條件允許，喝國產乳品對國內產業是相對有利的保護，但需綜合評估。

台中市「台中有鈣讚」計畫，補助全市廿四萬名公立國小生與公私立幼兒園生每周一瓶鮮乳，可憑數位學生證到超商兌換，一一四學年度第二學期開學後實施。

台中市政府表示，「班班喝鮮乳」本就是中央政策，行政院喊卡才由地方推動，若中央願意恢復，可減輕地方財政負擔。

彰化縣自籌八千萬元推動「生生有鮮乳」，今年三月起實施。

新竹縣也透過營養午餐供應乳品，每周至少二次。竹市則是營養午餐搭配鮮奶或水果，每月供應二周，未來會增加喝牛奶頻率。南投、苗栗縣都隨著營養午餐，南投每周供應學童乳品，苗栗每周供應二次鮮奶。

南部地區除台東外，雲林縣以南縣市多續辦喝鮮乳政策。其中高雄市及澎湖縣改搭配營養午餐，每周至少喝一次。高雄市共補助五千八百萬元，含公幼及國小附設幼兒園，約近十五萬學童受惠。屏東縣更擴及四所高中，共五萬六千六百一十八名學生受惠。

台南、嘉義縣市及雲林縣在中央「生生喝鮮乳」政策前，就自編預算讓學童每周固定喝鮮乳，當時獲中央補助，有的縣市學生一周能喝三次，中央補助喊卡後，雲嘉南等縣市仍持續自辦。宜蘭班班有鮮乳自二○一八年底林姿妙縣長上任後推動，不限定鮮奶，學校也可選保久乳。

日前美國國家牛奶生產者協會、美國乳品出口協會訪台，與中華民國乳業協會簽署合作備忘錄ＭＯＵ，重點包含推廣學童乳，但去年班班喝鮮乳政策上路不到四個月便喊卡，多數縣市自籌經費續辦，中華民國乳業協會理事長徐濟泰建議中央應帶頭推學童乳，農業部稱目前無相關計畫。

這次備忘錄提到支持台灣學童乳，台美雙方也針對學童乳政策進行討論。相較美國與鄰國日本等每周提供五次學童乳，去年各縣市執行班班喝鮮乳政策時，每周最多僅提供兩次，美國國家牛奶生產者協會副總裁Jaime Castaneda提到，學童乳應是國家上下都應重視的政策。

台紐經濟合作協定紐西蘭液態乳來台今年起零關稅，農業部憂心零關稅紐乳衝擊本土酪農，與教育部在去年推動「班班喝鮮乳」，支持國產乳品。然而，該政策因配套措施不足、實務運作困難等因素，上路不到四個月便在去年底匆匆喊卡。有些縣市選擇自籌經費續辦，或調整為每周供乳一次，學童乳政策形同一國多制。

即使台美乳協都表態應由國家來推動學童乳，農業部畜牧司長李宜謙表示，未來仍交由縣市政府依照各自需求推動學童乳，農業部可以在牛乳供應上協助學校找更多乳場參與競標，但中央現階段並無全國一致性推動學童乳的計畫。

另財政收支劃分法修正後，中央和地方均未編列明年度鼓勵營養午餐使用國產食材預算。據主計總處統計，二○二六年地方政府獲中央統籌分配稅款將大幅增加四一六五億元，因此明年學校午餐採用國產可溯源食材補助將回歸地方政府負擔。

中華民國餐盒食品商業同業公會全國聯合會理事長陳明信表示，許多先進國家對學童喝牛奶相當重視，每天營養午餐都會有一瓶鮮奶或保久乳，中央現在說因財劃法中央沒經費，假如未來真的有要再推學童乳，由誰付費？

中華民國乳業協會秘書長方清泉表示，本次簽署的ＭＯＵ，核心精神在於將推廣優質營養給學童，其中包含牛奶應該納入團膳菜單，不過ＭＯＵ有規範，不能影響到雙方的國家產業政策。

校事會議衝擊教育現場，學生動輒嗆聲「管我就投訴」，許多教師為免惹是非，管教學生自我設限；有教師直言，校事會議缺乏比例原則與透明度，一旦被評為不適任，難以復職、權益受損事小，恐終身背負汙名。

去年9月校事會議制度修改後，有教師被女學生指控不當觸摸，學校性平會議決議「解聘3年」，教師二度申訴都贏了，校長卻以尊重性平會為由，全案仍在審議中。

T姓老師透露，曾有教師因調查被解聘，重考教甄回到校園，學校發現他曾遭校事會議處分，取消錄取資格，等於被判教職「死刑」。

教書逾20年的T姓老師說，教學時要求學生簽名，被檢舉「刻意刁難」，校事會議調查沒事結案，學生又找其他事由向教育部信箱檢舉；調查期間漫長，幾乎以「聖人」標準檢視，醫療疏失醫師針對個案賠償，老師卻可能連退休金都不保。

全國教育權益保障協會召集人傅子宸說，遭惡意濫訴處分的受害老師，教職等於被判死刑；即使最後證明清白，名譽早已受損。

彰化縣教師會理事長陳時文建議，校事會議有操作空間，校長可視輕重，決定進不進校事會議，也可從縣府委員名單挑選委員。各地教師產業工會聯合呼籲，教育部應暫緩校事會議制度，擬定對策，回復校園安定。

全國教師反映校事會議濫訴嚴重，教師不堪其擾，校長調解糾紛時，夾在親、師中間常「公親變事主」。有校長遭老師抱怨未維護師者尊嚴，更有校長隨口說「愛之深責之切」，被家長投訴「師師相護」，遭記申誡。

全教總調查全國1萬多名教師，9成67教師要求廢止「無差別受理校園投訴機制」，容許匿名投訴、無調查限制的校事會議，成為校園濫訴根源。

彰化有國中生不滿老師糾正，失控拿學用品砸老師，甚至揮拳毆打，校長私下勸老師「退一步海闊天空」，教師不滿校長未維護為人師表尊嚴，校長左右為難，最後以家人罹病為由，申請退休「不如歸去」。

中部有國小教師處理「生對生」霸凌事件，忘關麥克風致全班聽見，家長不滿申請性平調查。教師願道歉，但家長對方式、時間、場合有意見，校長建議以和為貴，教師不高興，家長也揚言提告，校長無奈選擇退休。

另有國小教師以「愛的小手」懲誡學童，被申訴體罰。校長認為沒造成傷勢，緩頰說「愛之深、責之切」，家長申訴校長「師師相護」。經校事會議調查，校長記申誡乙次，當年考績乙等。

彰縣校長協會近期辦研習，加強校長與教師、家長溝通技巧，避免調解反惹禍上身；該協會建議比照幼教模式，將生對生以外案件交縣府教育處調查，但遭駁回。

桃園資深校長說，校事會議召開頻率提高，甚至某校半數老師都遭投訴。另有校長說，校事會議流程冗長，調查最長4個月，教師身心煎熬，也讓問題更複雜。

台中市教育產業工會理事長林碩杰說，校事會議接受匿名檢舉，教師一旦被調查可停聘，若調查不成立，因停聘損及的研究加給、考績、年終獎金等都無法恢復，應增過濾與賠償機制。教育基層建議，地方政府應增設法務專員，加速處理流程。

title: 國際小學堂／暖化威脅 美國野火濃煙 恐年奪7萬人命

content_text:
燒出隱患 美國加州皮克特山火（Pickett Fire）期間，一架飛機八月廿一日在卡利斯托加施放阻燃劑。（法新社）科學期刊「自然」九月刊登新研究顯示，當前全球暖化速率若維持不變，估計到二○五○年時，每年將有七萬名美國人因接觸野火產生的煙霧而死亡。參與該研究的史丹福大學環境經濟學家伯克說，其研究結果是迄今氣候變遷危及美國人的最有力證據之一。

極端野火 發生頻率、強度廿年翻倍

前述研究分析發現，因氣溫升高益發嚴重的野火煙霧，正逐步成為美國最致命氣候災害之一，未來卅年間將造成多達兩百萬人死亡。紐約時報九月中旬報導說，針對全球持續暖化下野火煙霧的致命程度，該研究提供目前最完善的估計。

該研究也發現，即使是在較溫和的氣候情境，即人類控制溫室氣體排放、減輕未來暖化程度下，野火煙霧在美國造成的死亡人數仍會差不多高，二○五○年時將達每年約六點七萬人；即使是最和緩情境，即幾乎完全消除排放量，每年仍將導致約六點六萬人死亡。

未參與該研究的耶魯大學公共衛生學院副教授陳凱（譯音）說，前述論文給人們敲響警鐘，表明野火煙霧在美國是全國性問題，且與氣候變遷息息相關。

燃燒化石燃料產生的二氧化碳和甲烷等溫室氣體，會將熱量保留在地球大氣。自工業革命以來，地球溫度已上升約攝氏一點三度。有其他研究人員發現，最極端野火的發生頻率和強度，已在過去廿年增加一倍。今年此趨勢依舊持續，加拿大及美國加州、夏威夷州部分地區都遭逢破紀錄的大火。

野火煙霧 PM2.5 恐比其他空汙更危險

研究人員的模型也估計，美國西岸地區的野火煙霧汙染增加情形將最顯著。各州當中，每年煙霧相關死亡人數增幅最高者會是加州；在溫和的氣候暖化情境下，這意味與二○一○年代相比，每年將增加約四千五百人死亡。

全美也都會受到影響。研究人員估計，紐約州的煙霧相關死亡人數可能每年增加多達一千八百人，華盛頓州、德州相去不遠，賓州則可能增加高達一千六百人。研究並發現，全美煙霧相關死亡人數將有超過一半發生在美東各州，這些州的人口密度通常較高。

研究人員是使用約廿年的死亡紀錄，以及野火煙霧汙染相關的衛星和地面資料，來衡量暴露在煙霧下如何影響死亡率。科學家追蹤空氣品質時，是透過被稱為「ＰＭ二點五」的微小空氣顆粒。這種汙染物直徑二點五微米，不到紅血球一半，目前受美國「清淨空氣法」監管並由美國環保署監控。

ＰＭ二點五顆粒小到能深入肺部、進入血液，引發發炎和一連串健康問題。野火煙霧中的ＰＭ二點五，可能比其他空氣汙染物更危險。哈佛大學公共衛生學院生物統計學教授多米尼奇說，ＰＭ二點五基本上是一堆有毒化學物質，暴露在ＰＭ二點五的長期影響可能包括心臟和呼吸方面問題。

多米尼奇也說，當野火延燒到城市，情況將更糟，因為塑膠、混凝土和汽車零件燃燒產生的煙霧危害更大。加州洛杉磯一月大規模野火曾燒毀艾塔迪那、寶馬山社區；紐時一項調查發現，當時滅火時沒帶防護面具的部分消防員，後來罹患嚴重癌症。

川普政府 廢除危害認定恐加劇空汙

未來野火煙霧造成的死亡人數，也取決於人類決定要如何應對氣候變遷。這項研究的模型沒考慮到未來的政策變化可能加劇空汙，例如美國近期就提議撤回幾項空汙管制。美國川普政府七月底已採取行動，擬廢除「危害認定」，即二○○九年時任總統歐巴馬政府的一項科學認定，認為溫室氣體對公眾健康構成威脅，至今被用以當作嚴格限制工業溫室氣體排放來源的法律基礎。

另一方面，這次研究模型也沒預期可能減輕野火、或減少民眾暴露在煙霧下的政策變化。例如「森林疏伐」等策略或能減輕未來野火強度；鼓勵民眾在煙霧瀰漫時使用空氣過濾器並戴口罩，也有助減少煙霧造成的健康問題。

參與研究的伯克說，其研究使用的數據是基於現行政策，意味仍有進步空間；研究結果屬於預測，不必然會成真，未來將發生什麼是人類的選擇。

紐約時報九月報導，一群科學家當月指出，今年夏天的酷熱估計導致歐洲市鎮共逾二點四萬人死亡，但假設人類未燃燒化石燃料導致全球暖化，該數字估計會減至三分之一。這項研究結果，反映氣溫上升對人類健康風險的增加速度，正超出各地社區和社會的適應速度。

除去暖化氣體 歐洲市鎮降兩度

前述分析是基於歷史上的死亡率趨勢，而非實際死亡紀錄；實際死亡紀錄還未能廣泛取得。參與這項分析的科學家說，其目標是對今夏高溫造成的死亡人數提供早期估計。截至九月中，該分析還未刊登在經同儕審查的期刊。

研究人員調查人口超過五萬人，且當地死亡紀錄為期夠久的歐洲市鎮，這些地區涵蓋歐洲總人口的三成。研究首先利用氣候模型估計，假設世界沒受到造成暖化的氣體排放影響，前述地區六到八月平均氣溫將下降華氏四度，即攝氏二點二度。

研究人員接著根據過去死亡率推斷，在這個氣溫較低的世界，這些市鎮六到八月僅約八千人會死於高溫。但現實世界中，在研究人員調查的八五四個歐洲市鎮，估計今夏高溫共導致二萬四千四百人死亡。

北歐高溫奪命 預防措施跟不上

研究人員還發現，依市鎮人口調整後，死於高溫人數最多的歐洲國家首都是義大利羅馬、希臘雅典、羅馬尼亞布加勒斯特。但就可歸因於氣候變遷的死者占比，最高的歐洲首都是瑞典斯德哥爾摩、西班牙馬德里、斯洛伐克布拉提斯拉瓦。

斯德哥爾摩地處北歐，看似不太可能居冠。參與該分析的倫敦帝國學院氣候科學家康斯坦丁諾迪斯說明，以前北歐極少出現高溫相關的死亡案例，但全球暖化開始讓北方國家的夏季氣溫，升高到可能危害人類健康的程度；北歐死於高溫者仍然遠少於南歐，但當北歐出現高溫奪命，也更是氣候變遷直接導致。

參與分析的倫敦大學衛生與熱帶醫學院氣候與地理空間模型助理教授米斯垂說，幾乎所有高溫相關死亡事件都可預防；歐洲是暖化速度最快的大陸，各國政府已採取措施保護本國民眾，但每年夏天仍有這麼多人死於高溫，這顯示「我們跟不上全球暖化的腳步」。

國民黨主席選戰白熱化，候選人郝龍斌昨獲新北市長侯友宜支持、鄭麗文拜會台中市議長張清照。候選人羅智強則獲行政院前院長劉兆玄力挺，認為羅能團結黨員、守住藍營基本盤，更可輔助未來的總統參選人開拓中間選票。今天下午將在台中市潮港城國際美食館舉辦政見發表會。

黨主席選舉戰況激烈，各候選人打出「院長牌」，郝龍斌有父親行政院前院長郝伯村延續的軍系實力；鄭麗文日前邀前閣揆陳冲出任「財經發展戰略總指導」；羅智強則有劉兆玄稱讚「俠骨初心」。

劉兆玄指出，此次國民黨主席參選者皆一時之選，他認為下一屆黨主席應該具有下列條件，包括能專注於黨的革新；過去對國家及黨需有貢獻，才能領導群倫；能協調黨內精英，贏得二○二六選舉；以及能協調民眾黨，合作贏得二○二八總統大選。

劉兆玄說，幾位參選人各有長短，綜合客觀評論，並參考當前社會及黨內年輕化的呼籲，他支持羅智強擔任下一任國民黨主席。他看到的是一個無私、俠義，有戰力、顧大局而不改初心的羅智強，能團結國民黨，以王道對抗民進黨的霸道，重建一個以全民為本的中華民國。

郝龍斌昨利用中秋連假拜訪侯友宜。郝龍斌說，民國八十七年發生的台北客運公車挾持事件震撼全國，當時他還是立委，跟前立委趙少康一起進入公車和嫌犯交涉，與當時擔任刑事局副局長的侯友宜合力化解危機。他跟侯友宜結緣於公車挾持事件，之後他當了台北市長，推動雙北攜手合作，又跟侯友宜並肩奮鬥。

郝龍斌說，侯友宜叮嚀他一定要加油、一定要勝選，台灣一定要走公道之路，「我相信，公道自在人心，凡走過必留痕跡」；他由衷感謝侯友宜願意在此刻出面力挺他擔任國民黨主席。

至於鄭麗文被爆擔任立委期間欠繳公職分攤金，選黨主席前才補繳完成，國民黨昨天說明，經查鄭麗文的責任額度均已完成，符合相關規定，參選資格無庸置疑，國民黨感謝所有分攤黨務運作的各位同志。鄭麗文昨表示，這兩天黨內壓力愈來愈大，排山倒海而來，蔚為奇觀；但她也知道，壓力愈大，黨內同志力挺她的決心就愈強，因為「國民黨不能輸在自己人的手裡」。

另位候選人蔡志弘則拋出，若當選主席，會立即與民眾黨協商成立「藍白合選舉策略委員會」，盡早洽談明年九合一大選的相關合作事宜。

title: 駐南非代表稱 南非不歡迎台灣人？外交部：感歎之詞

countries: 台灣 南非 中國 索羅門群島

content_text:
南非數十年前就與台北斷交轉與北京建交，如今南非希望進一步減少與台灣的往來。台灣駐南非代表廖文哲九月廿五日接受「彭博」專訪在十月六日刊出，他指出，南非政府近年持續以更名、遷館等手段降格雙邊關係，「台灣人在南非已不受歡迎」。

外交部回應指出，廖文哲所謂「台灣人在南非已不受歡迎」一說，是針對南非政府近來種種對我無理的行為所發出的感慨，而非指台灣人不受南非人民及土地所歡迎，南非政府所為，反引發國際及當地輿論對南非政府的批評，並熱心為台灣發聲，實際呈現的是台灣人普遍受到南非各界的歡迎。

南非外交部二○二三年起推動將台灣駐南非代表處從首都普利托利亞遷往約翰尼斯堡，結束台灣長達半世紀的首都駐點。台灣政府拒絕配合，但南非仍於今年七月片面發布公告，將台灣代表處改名「台北商務辦事處」，並追溯自三月底生效。

廖文哲表示，這項決定形同推翻一九九七年由前總統曼德拉主導、確立台灣代表處地位的協議。他說，「撕毀既有協議，等於否定曼德拉的智慧。當年的協議是為了維繫友誼與合作，如今卻被輕易推翻」。

外界普遍認為，此舉背後有中國大陸施壓。中國是南非最大的貿易夥伴，兩國政治與軍事往來頻繁。廖文哲說：「為什麼要這樣做？原因非常明顯。常識告訴我們，幕後推手是誰。」

面對這場外交僵局，台灣一度宣布禁止半導體產品出口南非，指控對方行為「損及我國國家與公共安全」，後在南非政府請求協商下暫緩措施。分析指出，南非此舉意在今年十一月主辦廿國集團（Ｇ20）峰會前，向預計出席的中國國家主席習近平示好。

這場風波更凸顯台灣的脆弱處境。廖文哲曾任台灣駐索羅門群島大使，親身經歷了索羅門與台灣斷交。他坦言，眼前的情勢讓人想起當時的孤立無援。

廖文哲感嘆：「我們在這裡已經不受歡迎了。當台灣人感覺不到被尊重、被珍惜，他們就會選擇離開。」

2026新北市長一役是藍綠白兵家必爭之地，民眾黨議員陳世軒昨透露，黨主席黃國昌委託他在新北尋找地點，將成立黃國昌新北市長競選辦公室。綠委蘇巧慧最近前進花蓮災區助一臂之力；藍營這方，新北副市長劉和然、北市副市長李四川備戰，透過新北大巨蛋選址、拆公館圓環等事件拚曝光。

近日黃國昌陷入狗仔風波，是否影響黃國昌在新北布局？陳世軒表示，黃國昌揭弊形象深植人心，綠營想將黃貼上狗仔標籤，轉移花蓮災情焦點「都是失敗的」。

陳世軒說，黃國昌按照步調準備2026新北市長選舉，在新北各區有服務處主任持續經營地方，市政研究團隊也在籌組中，彼此會對新北重大議題交換意見。陳透露，黃國昌將成立新北市長競選辦公室，有請他幫忙尋找合適地點，未來競選團隊可以進駐，展現參選決心。

民進黨部分，新北市屬於徵召區，黨中央已開放登記「意願」，避免遺珠之憾，熱門人選之一的蘇巧慧近日率團隊搭火車前進花蓮光復救災，加上她丈夫是台東原住民，積極與地方部落青年聯繫，展現協調能力。另名人選前民進黨祕書長林右昌轉趨低調，近期鮮少現身新北公共場合，新北黨部日前辦「資深黨員餐敘」他未現身，地方人士觀察，正國會成員持續奔走，林右昌業界友人也幫忙助攻。

國民黨部分，劉和然日前透過財劃法等議題打綠，除勤跑市政行程，日前也赴新加坡考察，在社群、空戰愈來愈活躍。李四川透過公館圓環拆除議題，持續累積聲量，新北擁川派人士在檯面下悄悄運作，待新任黨主席出爐後，態勢會更明顯。

明年度中央政府總預算案引發朝野對峙，民進黨政府以違憲為由，未依法編列立法院通過的軍人加薪、警消退休金提升、一般性補助款等預算。明明是政院違法未編列，卻還硬拗是在野走「杯葛老路」，不僅無視民意，更將過往最常掛在嘴邊的程序正義忘得一乾二淨。

回顧民進黨政府上任以來，不斷強調國軍戰力要增強，警消為民服務很辛苦，但是面對國民黨推動的相關加薪、增加退休金等法案卻選擇反對，這不只是表裡不一，更是赤裸裸的政治算計，也就是「綠能你不能」，在野的民意不是民意，「執政黨才是民意」。

這些爭議，本該在法案通過後翻頁，但民進黨政府持續走對抗路線，對於相關修正條文聲請釋憲，這不僅是對軍警消的羞辱，更是將憲法法庭當成政治工具。禮壞樂崩至此，也難怪賴總統會說出「不是喔，不是這樣喔」的名言，只要一言不合就覆議、釋憲，民主全由賴說的算。

依法行政是政府的天職，也是法治國的基本精神。面對立法院通過、總統公布的法案，行政院即便要基於政治算計而聲請釋憲，也該先依法行政，若釋憲結果真的違憲，再依照內容做相應調整。

如今行政院未等釋憲結果出爐，就恣意擺爛，甚至還要給在野扣帽子，得了便宜還賣乖；如此自行解釋法律，更是把自身看作大法官上的太上皇。諷刺的是，憲法是國家根本大法，最重要目的在保障人民權益，政府卻拿來攻擊在野黨、侵害人民權益。

國內正面臨美國對等關稅衝擊，屋漏偏逢連夜雨，接連的颱風除了將南台灣吹得滿目瘡痍，花蓮縣光復鄉更受洪災之苦，亟待復原與建設。去年朝野大戰的慘痛記憶猶新，好不容易天災善後才告一段落，賴政府當真又要罔顧國會少數，繼續硬拗「戰在野」嗎？

策略諮詢公司亞洲集團董事長、美國前副國務卿坎伯六日在美國「外交事務」雜誌刊文說，儘管美國軍事戰略家與規畫人員日益著重防備中國大陸在西太平洋（尤其關於台灣）的蓄意軍事行動，但美中兩軍機艦近幾年的多件驚險事件，已讓美國分析家深感焦慮，擔心兩軍一旦發生意外或溝通不良，恐將兩國捲入雙方不樂見的衝突。

該文題為「等著發生的美中危機」，提到前年十月廿四日，一架美軍Ｂ—52轟炸機在南海國際空域被一架共機攔截，發生一系列危險的高速操作。同年六月，美軍驅逐艦鍾雲號正穿越台海，一艘中國軍艦在相距不到約一三七公尺處橫切過美艦前方。這只是近幾年兩軍險些發生意外的其中兩例。

美方擔憂並非新鮮事。美國幾十年來一直試圖為與中國的軍事關係設護欄，並常取法冷戰時維持美蘇關係穩定的策略。如今共軍強化在台海、南海軍事存在，美中緊張也在貿易、科技等領域升溫，美國官員更加關注建立信任措施，以提高軍事行動的可預測性。美方也聚焦危機溝通，以確保小意外不致演變成全面戰爭。

但美國官員雖一再嘗試改善雙方軍對軍溝通，中方就連最基本的安全規則，也一直拒絕建立與使其成為條文。儘管北京對此猶豫的原因不斷演變，始終不變的是中方深深懷疑美國主導的倡議能否促進中國利益。

華府要消除北京這種長期存在的疑慮，並不簡單。但美中軍事實力如今已被視為可並駕齊驅，潛在升級的風險更大，希望重啟美中軍事外交的美國官員必須理解中方深刻的不信任感，並以合理方式克服。

儘管若干中國分析家甚至部分解放軍軍官，都主張提高美中軍隊之間的透明度，但中共領導階層偏好對解放軍的現有能力和危機應對方案保持不透明。歸根究柢，中共領導層認為，模糊性可讓他們在危機時的彈性提升到最高，並增強嚇阻力。

坎伯說，中國高層領袖可能正淡化甚至排除意外開戰風險，畢竟自韓戰後期以來，美中就未曾經歷嚴重軍事緊張局勢。但美國應在緊急狀況發生前，繼續推動建立健全的危機溝通管道。他說，美中須有遠見以建立這類溝通管道，而不是讓世界面臨在印太地區遭逢類似古巴飛彈危機的風險。

國防部日前向立法院說明表示，海空戰力提升計畫採購特別預算案中生產的無人攻擊載具、萬劍及雄昇等三型飛彈，包括機動載台、軍事設施，已全數完成產製並交軍納入戰備。預算釋商後，增加國內就業人口約一萬七九三七人。

國防部此次計畫生產的「雄昇飛彈」系統，是「雄二Ｅ」系列號稱「增程型」的最新型號，射程外傳可達一千二百公里，但數量不明。

國防部函送海空戰力提升計畫採購特別預算案民國一一三年採購執行進度及一一四年支用規畫書面報告，日前通過立法院程序委員會處理。

內容指出，國防部依「聯合反制、整體防空及海上截擊」等作戰需求，規畫於一一一至一一五年度，編列特別預算台幣二三六九億五九九九萬七千元，以八類十項專案籌建岸置反艦飛彈、高效能艦艇、海巡艦艇加裝戰時武器、萬劍飛彈、無人攻擊載具、雄昇飛彈、陸基防空飛彈及野戰防空飛彈等武器系統。

報告顯示，無人攻擊載具、萬劍及雄昇等三型飛彈已全數完成產製交軍納入戰備，執行進度百分之一百。各式機動載台也解繳軍種擔任戰備任務，執行進度百分之一百。

原駐守金門的陸軍航空特戰指揮部兩棲偵察營，上個月已完成將全營主力後撤至澎湖的移防任務，進駐當地西嶼牛心灣營區；美軍特戰部隊不再至金門協訓，集中於澎湖實施。

官兵輪駐台中港協勤

俗稱「海龍蛙兵」的陸軍航空特戰指揮部兩棲偵察營是我軍精銳部隊，從金門移防澎湖深受外界關注。據了解，這項重大調整是由國家安全會議與國防部主導決定。

陸軍司令部指出，有關國軍部隊兵力部署及運用，係依敵情威脅及作戰任務需求實施規畫，以提升整體防衛戰力。海軍司令部則稱，事涉部隊任務及部署，不回應。

陸軍兩棲營主力自原駐地金門移防澎湖，其下轄營部連與一、二、三連，仍分別維持排級小兵力常駐金門、馬祖原駐地，執行外、離島高賓視導交通專送、外離島緊急運補、無人島偵搜、警戒、靶勤業務等，與移防澎湖的連隊定期輪駐；另由營部連分遣排級兵力，同樣以輪駐方式進駐台中港附近新建的陸軍二三四旅化學兵營舍，海龍艇常駐港區，官兵駐港協勤。

準備接裝攻擊無人艇

因應將接裝「快奇」攻擊無人艇，兩棲營將與海軍陸戰隊兩棲偵搜大隊共同協防台灣本島西部三個作戰區的紅色沙灘，兩棲營將抽調兵力輪流常駐台中港，戰時防護甲南海灘，作戰任務未來統一由新成立的濱海作戰指揮部指揮。

海軍陸戰隊兩棲偵搜大隊目前已有四艘M一○九突擊快艇進駐淡水河口，配合接裝快奇無人艇與兩棲營部署，比照淡水河口分遣兵力模式，未來將分遣兵力，負責北部與南部作戰區紅色沙灘防衛，南部包括左營軍港的桃子園、林園海灘；安平港周邊的喜樹沙灘；北部則為台北港與竹圍漁港的沙崙、挖子尾、海湖海灘，竹圍漁港南側海灘等。戰時運用無人攻擊艇殲擊登陸部隊。

此次兵力調整後，陸軍兩棲營主力與大本營還是在外島澎湖，所轄馬祖連與金門連，自行與金、馬原駐地實施輪駐，部分營部連兵力則須輪駐台中港。兩棲營已連兩年在國軍漢光演習實兵操演台中港防護任務。

陸戰隊支援兩棲後勤

金門、馬祖、澎湖都有部署攻擊無人艇需求，尤其日據時期日軍在澎湖就曾部署自殺攻擊的「震洋艇」，用以截擊襲台的敵船團。台灣本島也有相關部署，屆時西部海岸北、中、南有三至四處無人攻擊艇基地，由陸軍兩棲偵搜營與海陸兩棲偵搜大隊接裝。陸戰隊南、北各有一個旅，就近對兩棲實施後勤支援。

中科院研製的「快奇專案」攻擊無人艇，陸軍和海軍的需求總數一千三百廿艘，採購案將納入尚未公布的軍購特別預算，由海軍司令部統籌，以五年期程完成量產，將配發給海軍陸戰隊及陸軍特戰指揮部部署使用，由即將成立的海軍濱海作戰指揮部指揮運用，戰時攻擊敵方登陸船團。
