title: Handle educational issues in classroom

content_text:
A mother in Taoyuan on Tuesday last week posted in a Facebook group photos of her son, saying he had become a “human canvas” — his face, hands and stomach were covered in blue marker ink. When she asked him what happened, the child tearfully told her that the classmate sitting next to him had done it. The mother then accused the classmate of bullying, and questioned why the teacher and school did not know anything about the incident.

However, when the Taoyuan Department of Education investigated the incident the following day, the student’s teacher and classmates said that he had drawn on his own face and body — there was no bullying involved.

The finding likely left his mother stunned and at a loss about how to respond.

Having been a teacher for many years, I am generally unfazed by these kinds of campus misunderstandings and would like to offer a few thoughts based on my experience with suspected incidents of bullying.

When parents harshly press their children for accountability, they often panic and falsely shift the blame onto others. As a result, their innocent classmates are wrongfully accused, and teachers must reluctantly take responsibility. Such situations are all too common in classrooms. It is perfectly understandable for parents to be angry upon seeing that their child has become a “human canvas,” but they should first seek the truth from their child’s homeroom teacher.

If parents do not believe the results of the teacher’s findings, they could ask their child’s classmates and cross-check information from multiple sources to clarify the truth. However, if they remain convinced that their child’s version of the story is accurate and refuse to accept other accounts, they could turn to the school’s internal review mechanism, the school affairs committee, for a formal investigation.

Additionally, parents should try their best to refrain from using social media to make public accusations or prematurely expose incidents. If, after the issue has already blown up online, the truth turns out to be the opposite of what the parents or child initially said, how would the parents handle the situation?

Some teachers or students who have been wrongly accused might be willing to forgive and forget, understanding that they just acted impulsively out of concern for their child. However, the parents of falsely accused students might not be as forgiving. If a parent’s actions cause their child to be treated unfairly, they could hire a lawyer to seek justice, and the situation could become extremely difficult to resolve.

Issues at school should be handled within the educational system. Allowing schools or teachers to address such situations carries far less legal risk than parents posting accusations on social media. After all, parents are adults and must bear legal responsibility for their actions. A simple apology after the fact might not undo the damage. Thus, it is best for parents to think carefully before taking action. A moment of rashness or impulsivity could impact others and themselves, ultimately doing more harm than good.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) chairwoman-elect Cheng Li-wun’s (鄭麗文) victory in the party’s leadership race saw a new development in Chinese interference in Taiwanese politics — internal party elections are in the mix. The case demonstrated the closed-off nature of the KMT’s internal structure, the emergence of a “pan-red” coalition and the collapse of the party’s establishment. It might also represent an new threat to Taiwan’s politics.

Taiwan’s elections have been subject to Chinese meddling by various means and to various extents — our country has been recognized internationally as China’s primary target of political interference.

Beijing’s efforts have always ultimately fallen short thanks to Taiwanese society’s resistance and democratic resilience. After China’s achievements in the KMT’s leadership elections, this is no longer the case. Even the KMT’s most basic ability to resist has been compromised, and Cheng is set to be its very first “Beijing-appointed” chair.

It is rumored that central control of the KMT falls to the pro-unification camp, as characterized by former KMT chairwoman Hung Hsiu-chu (洪秀柱). Hung’s team, including her former office director Chiao Cheng-chung (喬正中), former KMT deputy secretary-general Chang Ya-ping (張雅屏) and former National Security Council deputy secretary-general Philip Yang (楊永明), served as the core of Cheng’s campaign.

Significant support also came from former KMT secretary-general Lee Chien-lung (李乾龍) — who has made frequent visits to China in recent years — as well as former Taipei county commissioner Chou Hsi-wei (周錫瑋), former KMT mainland affairs director Chang Jung-kung (張榮恭), and Taoyuan city council speaker Chiu Yi-sheng(邱奕勝), each noteworthy for pro-Beijing inclinations.

It was reported that prior to the elections, Cheng was already considering Lee and Chiu for the vice-chairmanship and reinstating Lee as party secretary-general, with Lee confirmed for both positions. The move is in line with Beijing’s calls for central KMT positions to go to people in whom “both sides of the Strait have a high degree of trust.” It also closes off any opportunity for pro-US or pro-Western forces to get a footing in the party.

As for the impact on Taiwan’s wider political sphere, partisan clashes look set to rise. The guiding principle of Chen as chairwoman appears to be to derail President William Lai (賴清德) and to leave the Democratic Progressive Party with little room to maneuver. Such conditions can only ramp up antagonism in exchanges between the ruling and opposition parties, and between the government’s legislative and executive branches. This throws policy items critical to Taiwan’s national security into question, including defense spending and security enhancement — a development warranting national concern.

Taiwan is rapidly accelerating toward becoming a “super-aged society” — moving at one of the fastest rates globally — with the proportion of elderly people in the population sharply rising. While the demographic shift of “fewer births than deaths” is no longer an anomaly, the nation’s legal framework and social customs appear stuck in the last century. Without adjustments, incidents like last month’s viral kicking incident on the Taipei MRT involving a 73-year-old woman would continue to proliferate, sowing seeds of generational distrust and conflict.The Senior Citizens Welfare Act (老人福利法), originally enacted in 1980 and revised multiple times, positions older

Electricity would likely
decide the AI race

content_text:
By advancing open AI models and investing in renewable-energy capacity, China is creating an energy-compute flywheel: more clean power enables more compute, which in turn optimizes the grid, putting it at a distinct advantage over the West

The next stage of the global artificial intelligence (AI) race would be decided not by algorithms or chips, but by electricity — and that puts China at a distinct advantage. While Western tech giants are emphasizing closed, capital-intensive models that demand enormous computing power, China is embracing open-source AI and massively expanding its renewable and nuclear-energy capacity, thereby positioning itself to deploy powerful AI technologies at scale without breaking the bank.

These differences reflect a more fundamental split. Whereas the US and its allies have treated AI as a proprietary technology, China has approached it as public infrastructure, building an open AI ecosystem that reflects the same philosophy it applied to manufacturing: broad adoption, fast iteration and relentless cost reduction.

Chinese open-source models like DeepSeek, Qwen and Kimi are not just scientific achievements; they are strategic instruments designed for participation and are transforming the economics of AI.

DeepSeek’s latest version reportedly matches the capabilities of frontier systems, such as those being developed by US companies, at a fraction of their compute cost. Qwen and Kimi’s annual program interface prices — that is, the fees developers pay to access the models through an online interface and integrate them into their own software — have fallen by orders of magnitude. In purely economic terms, the marginal cost of “thought” is collapsing. The inference costs of some Chinese models are one-tenth or less of those incurred by OpenAI’s GPT-4.

However, the cheaper AI becomes, the more of it the world consumes, with each token saved inviting a thousand more to be generated. The same dynamic that once powered the coal age now drives the digital one. In China, this is by design: low inference costs, together with the open weights of Chinese models, are intended to invite experimentation across universities, start-ups and local governments.

However, all that activity requires energy: the International Energy Agency expects global electricity consumption from data centers to double by 2030 (from last year’s levels), driven largely by AI workloads. Training GPT-4 alone likely consumed millions of kilowatt-hours — enough to power San Francisco for three days.

What once was a contest of algorithms is fast becoming a contest of kilowatts, and China is setting itself up to win. Last year, the country added 356 gigawatts of renewable-energy capacity — more than the US, the EU and India combined — with 91 percent of all new generation coming from solar, wind and hydro. Battery storage tripled from 2021 levels, and an ultra-high-voltage grid now carries clean power thousands of miles, from deserts to data hubs.

China is also investing heavily in nuclear energy. Its nuclear research and development spending is about five times higher than that of the US, data compiled by the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation showed. As its fourth-generation reactors and small modular designs advance from pilot to deployment, nuclear energy is quietly providing the baseload power that intermittent renewables cannot.

This combination of open AI models, cheap renewables and a stable supply of nuclear power forms what might be called an energy-compute flywheel: more clean power enables more compute, which in turn optimizes the grid. Already, machine-learning systems are predicting solar output, managing energy storage and balancing load across China’s vast power network in real time. The result is a reorganization of industry, as the traditional boundaries between energy, semiconductors and software vanish. Data centers are the new power plants; graphics processing units are the new turbines. China is not merely electrifying its industry; it is electrifying its intelligence.

Beyond strengthening its own clean-energy grid, China is exporting the building blocks of the world’s new energy system. Its clean-tech exports — including solar panels, grid batteries and electric vehicles — hit a record US$20 billion in August, overtaking its consumer-electronics shipments from a decade earlier. Even if the West exports chips and software, it is China that is producing the electrons that make them useful.

Meanwhile, the West’s energy constraints — aging grids, slow permitting processes and high prices — are creating digital bottlenecks. In the US and elsewhere, data-center expansion is increasingly limited by access to a reliable supply of electricity. Some jurisdictions — such as Virginia and Dublin, Ireland — face moratoria on new data centers.

Industrial revolutions have always favored the societies that could convert energy into productivity most efficiently. In the 19th century, coal was the key to empire. In the 20th century, oil was king, and in the 21st century, it would be clean power paired with compute. Whoever commands the cheapest electrons would command the cheapest intelligence — and reap the benefits of growing abundance on both fronts.

China is positioning itself to occupy this coveted position, thanks to a systemic alignment of investment and incentives that democracies would find difficult to replicate quickly, but it is not the only country that stands to gain from its success. For emerging economies that have long been priced out of high-performance computing, open-weight models and falling energy costs could make AI accessible and even essential, much like electricity or broadband.

However, abundance does not guarantee stability. Without sufficient investment in clean-energy generation and storage, surging energy demand for AI could strain grids and undermine progress on decarbonization. Like in the industrial age, efficiency could lead to excess, and progress could be accompanied by growing imbalances. Managing the tension between abundance and restraint would determine whether AI becomes a tool of empowerment or a new driver of inequality.

Two centuries ago, the steam engine converted heat into motion — and remade the global economy. Today, AI is transforming electricity into cognition, and whoever masters both would again rewrite the rules of progress.

The US has no China strategy, no policy and no theory of success

As US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平) prepare to meet on the sidelines of an economic summit in South Korea — an encounter that might not actually happen — some foreign-policy strategists in Washington are not just worried, but aghast. The two mightiest nations on Earth seem hell-bent on waging economic war up to and including “mutual assured destruction,” and at least one of the pair seems to have no plan, no expertise and no clue.

“The first thing to understand is that there is no China policy” in the current US administration, Rebecca Lissner told me. She was a top adviser to former US vice president Kamala Harris and would now be in the National Security Council if Harris had won last year’s presidential election.

The Trump administration has no coherent strategy toward China, and the “trade stuff is worse than the markets believe,” I heard from Zack Cooper, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. That must be bad indeed, because the stock markets have been see-sawing since April. One of his colleagues despairs over “nine months of policy whiplash” and a chronic case of “strategic schizophrenia.”

Attempting to summarize the chaos so far runs into the same limits of encapsulating, say, the story twists in Game of Thrones in one sentence. In short, earlier this year, Trump declared economic war on most of the world. Almost all countries sued for peace, but the most powerful, China, stared him down, matching tariffs on the way up (peaking at 145 percent at one point) and on the way down (hovering at about 30 percent for a while). A few reversals, pauses and feints later, a new round of spikes is threatened for next month.

However, tariffs were just the overture, as Washington and Beijing, tit-for-tat, started going after each other in every other way. They are slapping port fees on one another. They are harassing each other’s tech companies — the US is squeezing Chinese firms that use US semiconductors; China has targeted the US’ Nvidia, Qualcomm and others. Everything, it seems, is now a bargaining chip, as the Trump administration keeps reversing itself. One minute it bans the sale of microchips to China, the next it partially lifts the ban again. Adding to the confusion, Trump has also thrown unrelated (and relatively trivial) matters into the mix, such as the fate of TikTok, a Chinese-owned video app.

However, one move has risen above the noise. Off and on, China has throttled, or threatened to stop, exports of rare earths, in which it has a global quasi-monopoly. This was entirely foreseeable — and yet seemed to take the Trump administration by surprise. Some of these 17 elements (which are not that rare, just very difficult to mine) are essential to make, say, the magnets that go into modern electronics, including those inside US cars and fighter jets.

Harvard University professor of government Graham Allison, a doyen among international-relations academics, said that “in the game of supply chain poker, China holds the high cards” and Trump has come to realize that he does not. (The metaphor is cheeky, since Trump likes to bully others for not holding “the cards.”)

Cooper disagrees. “I don’t think the Chinese have all the cards,” he told me. “We have cards, we just haven’t been willing to play them.” For example, the US could cut Chinese banks out of dollar transactions in global financial markets, which is, in its context, as asymmetric as blocking exports of rare earths. (Most US banks don’t care about losing access to renminbi transactions, but Chinese banks “would fold,” Cooper said.)

One problem is that the White House has recently fired a lot of the China experts who have the deep technical knowledge to find and use such levers. One example is former US deputy assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs David Feith, who was pushed out for political reasons — or “Loomered,” in the argot, a reference to far-right activist Laura Loomer’s habit of publicly targeting and harassing officials deemed ideologically impure — just as the confrontation with China heated up.

Another problem is that Trump’s remaining advisers are at one another’s throats over what the US even wants out of China. Ryan Fedasiuk, an adjunct assistant professor in the Security Studies Program at Georgetown University, describes three main camps: The economic nationalists love tariffs for their own sake. The hard-power realists care more about keeping China inferior to the US technologically and militarily. The transactional restrainers view tariffs and other measures merely as tools to extract concessions, such as a Chinese clamp-down on the chemicals used to make fentanyl. Meanwhile, Trump seems to be all over the map.

That is what it means to have no strategy. The Trump administration has not answered, or seemingly even asked, fundamental questions, small or large, specific or general: Does the US want to attract Chinese investment, or to decouple the two economies? Does it want to sell its best semiconductors and software, or to hog them?

More broadly, does the US want to keep China down, or share with it the burden of restoring order and peace in the world, from Ukraine to the Middle East? Is Taiwan (or the South China Sea, for that matter) a vital US interest to be defended, or a mere bargaining chip? Is China an adversary the US will have to fight and defeat one day, or a difficult but unavoidable partner?

By the time the top guys take a seat at the same table, Lissner told me, “you don’t have the luxury of saying, we’re going to do trade, but not Taiwan, or we’re going to do fentanyl. but not the Philippines. That’s just not how it works.” The result is what she calls “ADD” diplomacy — negotiating with attention deficit disorder, in pursuit of no clear goal and guided by no compass.

“I just don’t think that the Trump folks believe you need a strategy to do things,” Cooper told me. Their narrative is that Trump is a “master negotiator, walks into the room, decides where he has leverage, uses it and walks out,” Cooper said.

The problem is that the Chinese have prepared for this showdown for a long time, and their rare earths are just the start. They believe that they are “running circles around the Trump team. They feel really confident,” Cooper added.

If the meeting in South Korea does not happen, the Chinese would blame it on logistics. (Getting both leaders to overlap is, in fact, tricky — Trump is also due to visit other Asian countries.) If it does happen, it is unlikely that anything big would be resolved. There might be a tariff reprieve here, or a corporate deal there, but as to the most important relationship in and for the world, that between the US and China, nobody would be any wiser.

WINNER TAKES ALL: The winners of the American League Championship Series face defending champions the Dodgers in the World Series starting on Friday

The Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday homered twice and exploited three Seattle errors to beat the Mariners 6-2 and force a decisive Game 7 in their American League Championship Series.

Addison Barger and Vladimir Guerrero Jr homered for the Blue Jays, while rookie pitcher Trey Yesavage, making only his sixth MLB start, gave up just one run in 5-2/3 innings.

Yesavage struck out seven and induced three straight inning-ending double plays, two of them with the bases loaded.

“He comes every day and gives it all he has,” Guerrero said of 22-year-old Yesavage, who rose through the minor leagues this year and burst into the majors last month. “It’s amazing playing defense behind him. He brings the energy, he’s young. He wants to win so bad.”

Yesavage, who was tagged for five runs by the Mariners in Game 2, said that he just wanted to compete with the Blue Jays’ season on the line.

“This was the most electric, energized crowd I’ve ever played in front of,” Yesavage said. “I was getting my stuff in the box early, getting ahead of batters and letting my defense work. Getting three double plays in back-to-back-to-back innings, to get out of two bases-loaded jams, that is huge, and I knew my defense had my back.”

The Blue Jays knotted the series at 3-3 and were to host Game 7 yesterday. The winners of the series face defending champions the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series starting on Friday.

“Getting to this point and forcing a Game 7 with everybody’s effort, everybody’s opportunity to shine, is a real testament to how close and how tight-knit this team is,” Yesavage said.

Toronto are trying to return to the World Series for the first time since they won back-to-back titles in 1992 and 1993.

The Mariners — like the Blue Jays an expansion team in 1977 — are the only franchise never to make it to MLB’s championship showcase.

They damaged their own cause with three fielding errors, two of them in the second inning as the Blue Jays took a 2-0 lead.

Toronto made it 4-0 in the bottom of the third when Ernie Clement belted a triple off the left-field wall and Barger launched his second home run of the series — a blast to right-center field off Mariners starting pitcher Logan Gilbert.

After Toronto’s third straight inning-ending double play left the Mariners scoreless through the fifth, Guerrero led off the bottom of the frame with his sixth home run of the playoffs, his blast to left field putting the Blue Jays up 5-0.

Seattle’s Canadian first baseman Josh Naylor broke through in the sixth inning for a two-out home run against Yesavage.

A single from Randy Arozarena then spelled the end of Yesavage’s night and reliever Louis Varland gave up a single to Seattle’s Game 5 grand slam hero Eugenio Suarez — whose ball down the right-field line allowed Arozarena to score from first base as the Mariners cut the deficit to 5-2.

Toronto tacked on another run in the bottom of the seventh.

Hit by a pitch with one out in the inning, Guerrero reached second on Alejandro Kirk’s single to center and scored on catcher Cal Raleigh’s throwing error to third after a wild pitch from Matt Brash.

Toronto, who had the best regular-season home record in the American League, dropped the first two games of the series at Rogers Centre, but now have a chance to clinch at home.

However, Seattle manager Dan Wilson said his players can shake off their sloppy play and finish the job.

“This is a team that has done the little things all season,” Wilson said. “It’s also a team that has bounced back a lot and this is a chance for us to do that again.”

Liverpool on Sunday slumped to a fourth consecutive defeat for the first time in 11 years as Manchester United won 2-1 to end their near decade-long wait for a victory at Anfield.

Harry Maguire’s 84th-minute header secured back-to-back English Premier League wins for the first time in Ruben Amorim’s tenure as United head coach.

Twelve minutes from time, Cody Gakpo had canceled out Bryan Mbeumo’s opener after just 61 seconds. The defeat leaves Liverpool four points adrift of Arsenal at the top of the table and Arne Slot still searching for answers in how to get the right blend after splashing out nearly ￡450 million (US$604 million) on new players in the transfer market.

United close to within two points of their historic rivals and up to ninth in the table to ease the pressure on Amorim after his biggest win in nearly a year in charge.

“It means everything. They had had the better of us over the last few years and it’s not been good for our club,” Maguire said. “We have not given our fans enough days like today, so it has been a long time coming, coming to this ground and picking up three points.”

Liverpool had only lost one of the previous 14 Premier League meetings between the sides and United had not tasted victory at Anfield since the early days of Juergen Klopp’s reign in January 2016.

However, the Reds are in a state of flux after transforming the squad that stormed to the title last season and the tragic loss of Diogo Jota, who died in a car accident in July.

“It is an interesting time because we have to stick together, not just us as players, but as a club and the fans who want us to win,” Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said. “When things get tough, it is important we keep the mentality of being there for each other. It is a long season.”

After three consecutive defeats for the first time in Slot’s reign, Liverpool could barely have imagined a worse start.

Mbeumo sped past Van Dijk with ease before firing past Giorgi Mamardashvili from Amad Diallo’s pass after barely a minute.

Slot left Florian Wirtz on the bench for the second consecutive game as he looked in vain to find the right balance between defense and attack.

Gakpo should have leveled for the defending champions when he hit the post from Mohamed Salah’s through-ball in Liverpool’s one flowing move of the first half.

However, it was United who should have been further in front by halftime.

Bruno Fernandes spurned a glorious chance to double the Red Devils’ lead when he hit the outside of the post when unmarked from the edge of the penalty area.

At the other end, Senne Lammens was rarely troubled in the first 45 minutes, but produced a big save when called upon to deny Alexander Isak his first Premier League goal since joining Liverpool for a British transfer record ￡125 million.

A Gakpo deflected cross then came back off the post and the Dutchman rattled the woodwork for a third time early in the second half.

Slot turned to his forward options off the bench as Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike were introduced on the hour mark to join Salah, Gakpo and Isak in a five-man attack.

Salah has scored more goals than any other player in this fixture, but his lack of form showed in a wild finish to slice wide with just Lammens to beat at the back post.

Liverpool’s wealth of attacking talent finally broke the door down when Federico Chiesa, who had replaced Isak moments earlier, drilled in a low cross that Gakpo converted from point-blank range.

Yet, their defensive frailties meant parity only lasted six minutes as Maguire was left unmarked to head in Fernandes’ looping cross.

Gakpo should still have rescued a point when he headed wide with the goal gaping from Jeremie Frimpong’s inviting delivery, but Liverpool fell to their first league defeat at Anfield in more than a year in another blow to their hopes of usurping United with a record 21st English top-flight title.

Earlier, Aston Villa moved up to 11th place with a 2-1 win at Tottenham Hotspur.

Rafael Leao on Sunday shot AC Milan to the top of Serie A with a brace in a 2-1 win over ACF Fiorentina who were enraged by the “scandalous” awarding of the penalty that decided the game.

Portugal winger Leao pushed Milan one point ahead of local rivals Inter, SSC Napoli and AS Roma with a coolly taken spot-kick, given for what looked like a soft foul on Santiago Gimenez by Fabiano Parisi, with four minutes remaining.

That goal capped a fine first league start of the season for Leao and came after he drew the hosts level with a brilliantly struck effort from distance in the 63rd minute.

“He’s an amazing talent, from outside when I used to watch him and now when I train with him, I see he is one of the best players in the world,” Luka Modric told DAZN. “The incredible thing is that he can still improve, it just depends on him. I hope these two goals can help him grow his confidence and be the main guy for us. He will be very important and we will depend a lot on him. He showed why tonight.”

Leao’s goals are a boost for Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri, who has had to deal with a spate of injuries, including to key players Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic, who were hurt on international duty and will not be back for weeks.

The 26-year-old’s brace canceled out Robin Gosens’ opener in the 55th minute for Fiorentina, who are still seeking their first league win of the season under former Milan head coach Stefano Pioli and sit in the relegation zone, but Pioli said the awarding of the decisive penalty, given by referee Livio Marinelli following a check of the pitch-side monitor, would “encourage players to dive at the slightest touch.”

Fiorentina’s sporting director Daniele Prade was even more blunt, blasting Marinelli for not having “the courage to back his original decision.”

“These are those incidents that change everything, we were playing to win the game and you just can’t do things like that. It’s scandalous,” Prade said. “Gimenez was on the floor for 20 minutes and he was barely touched, it was almost grotesque... We didn’t deserve to lose and we definitely didn’t deserve to lose in that way.”

Earlier, Nico Paz shone again for Como with a goal and assist in a landmark 2-0 win over Juventus, which lifted the traditionally tiny club up to sixth place.

Argentina international Paz set up Marc-Oliver Kempf to sweep home in the fourth minute at the Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia, before making sure of Como’s first win against Juve since 1952 with a wonderful individual goal with 12 minutes remaining.

Owned by tobacco giant Djarum, and coached by former Spain and Barcelona star Cesc Fabregas, Como are on 12 points from seven matches, only four behind AC Milan.

Paz, 21, was signed from Real Madrid in August last year and after an impressive debut season in Italy he has been a key part of Como’s strong start to this campaign with four goals and as many assists.

“He’s a great player, I’m not worried about his future because I can tell when a player is hungry, whether they have the right mentality to become a top player or whether they’re a flash in the pan,” Fabregas told DAZN.

Paz’s fine display left Juve without a win since a dramatic victory over archrivals Inter just over a month ago.

Defeat ended a tough week for Juve, who lost starting centerback Gleison Bremer until the end of the year with a knee ligament tear and are under investigation by UEFA for financial fair play breaches.

Riccardo Orsolini helped move Bologna a point above Como and into fifth spot with his fifth goal of the season in a comfortable 2-0 win at Cagliari.

Elsewhere, Genoa were held to a goalless draw by Parma, while Atalanta BC against SS Lazio also ended 0-0.

The Rakuten Monkeys on Sunday downed the CTBC Brothers 2-1, handing the hosts their second consecutive loss in the best-of-seven CPBL Taiwan Series at the Taipei Dome.

Monkeys’ ace starter Pedro Fernandez of the Dominican Republic dominated on the mound, cruising through six scoreless innings before giving up a run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning.

He gave up only three hits and walked two batters in a 93-pitch outing, giving his Taoyuan-based team an edge.

Offensively, the Monkeys’ leadoff batter Lin Li hit Brothers starter Brandon Leibrandt’s pitch over the center-field wall in the game’s first at-bat, giving the Monkeys an early 1-0 lead in the opening frame.

Lin’s solo shot was only the second leadoff home run in the 30-plus years since the CPBL’s Taiwan Series was launched.

The Monkeys added another run in the top of the seventh inning, which was enough for the team to clinch the crucial game 2-1 and take a 2-0 series lead.

The Brothers had several chances to tie or even come from behind in the bottom of the eighth and the ninth, with no one out and runners in scoring position, but Monkeys relievers Chen Kuan-yu and closer Chu Cheng-yang managed to keep the Brothers scoreless on both occasions with timely groundouts and double plays.

In the history of the Taiwan Series, 16 of the 18 teams that won the first two games of the best-of-seven series went on to take the championship title.

The Monkeys and the Brothers had a day off yesterday before facing off again today at the Taipei Dome for Game 3.

Four-time champions England on Sunday booked their ticket to the semi-finals of the Women’s Cricket World Cup after pulling off a nail-biting four-run win over hosts India in Indore.

England had posted a competitive 288-8 thanks to Heather Knight’s century and held their nerve in the field to defend it, despite their bowling, usually their strong suit, being a touch off-color.

India looked to be cruising toward victory, needing just 62 runs off the final 10 overs with seven wickets in hand, but the dismissal of Smriti Mandhana turned the tide, as scoreboard pressure crept in and dot balls piled up. Soon after, Richa Ghosh and Deepti Sharma departed in quick succession, leaving the tail high and dry.

Reckless batting cost India dear. Mandhana’s downfall opened the floodgates when she danced down the track to left-arm spinner Linsey Smith, but failed to clear long-off. Then, after reaching her half-century, Deepti Sharma perished trying to take on Sophie Ecclestone, a slog sweep that found deep mid-wicket. From there, the writing was on the wall.

“We probably needed 300, but we did well to pull things back and I’m very happy. Didn’t contribute much in the last couple of games, so it felt good to come up with a match-winning hundred,” said Knight, whose classy 109 off 91 balls was the backbone of England’s innings.

England’s openers gave them a brisk start with 73 runs for the first wicket, before Knight joined captain Nat Sciver-Brunt in a 113-run stand that kept the scoreboard ticking.

At one stage, England looked set to go past 300, but Knight’s runout attempting a second run triggered a slowdown, as India tightened the screws and conceded only 74 runs in the final 10 overs. Deepti Sharma was the pick of the bowlers, finishing with four wickets.

It was India’s third successive defeat leaving their next clash against New Zealand a virtual knockout. With both teams locked on four points, it is a case of do or die to stay in the hunt for the final semi-final berth, with Australia, England and South Africa already safely through.

England have been clinical, through to the semis with two games in hand. They sit second on the table with nine points, level with defending champions Australia, separated only by a whisker in net run rate.

“Not sure how we lost this game. We had it in the bag. We’ve worked so hard and when the last five overs slip away from you, it’s heartbreaking. This is the third straight game we’ve lost after coming so close,” India captain Harmanpreet Kaur said.

CAUSE UNKNOWN: Weather and runway conditions were suitable for flight operations at the time of the accident, and no distress signal was sent, authorities said

A cargo aircraft skidded off the runway into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport early yesterday, killing two ground crew in a patrol car, in one of the worst accidents in the airport’s 27-year history.

The incident occurred at about 3:50am, when the plane is suspected to have lost control upon landing, veering off the runway and crashing through a fence, the Airport Authority Hong Kong said.

The jet hit a security patrol car on the perimeter road outside the runway zone, which then fell into the water, it said in a statement.

The four crew members on the plane, which was operated by Turkey’s AirACT on behalf of Emirates Airlines, were rescued and taken to the hospital.

At a briefing held hours after the incident, the Airport Authority said the weather and runway conditions were suitable for flight operations at the time of the accident. The plane had not sent any distress signal, officials said.

Hong Kong’s Air Accident Investigation Authority is investigating the cause of the crash and is searching for the plane’s black boxes, including the flight data recorder and cabin recorder.

Police said they would not rule out launching a criminal investigation.

Helicopters from the Government Flying Service and vessels from the Fire Services Department have been deployed, media reports said.

One of the three runways at the airport — one of the busiest in Asia — has been closed, although the Airport Authority said the more than 1,000 flight movements scheduled for yesterday would operate as normal.

An official notice to pilots said the runway was expected to remain closed until at least 6pm today.

In a statement, Emirates said the aircraft was wet leased from, and operated by, Act Airlines. The crew are confirmed to be safe and there was no cargo onboard.

In wet leases, the company supplying the plane also provides the crew and maintenance to the airline client.

The 32-year-old plane had taken off from Dubai’s Al Maktoum International Airport, with flight code EK9788.

Images of the stricken jet at Hong Kong airport show the plane partially submerged, with its rear section, including the tailfin, missing.

A large section of the plane rested on the seawall. Both of the plane’s emergency slides were deployed.

The accident marks one of the most serious at the airport. In 1999, three people died when a China Airlines flight crashed while landing during a typhoon and flipped upside down.

Yesterday’s incident echoes another China Airlines accident at the old Kai Tak Airport, when a 747 overran the runway during typhoon conditions.

The jet was submerged in water beyond the end of the runway, with about two dozen passengers and crew injured.

title: Coalition deal paves way for first female Japan PM

content_text:
Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior partner yesterday signed a coalition deal, paving the way for Sanae Takaichi to become the nation’s first female prime minister.

The 11th-hour agreement with the Japan Innovation Party (JIP) came just a day before the lower house was due to vote on Takaichi’s appointment as the fifth prime minister in as many years.

If she wins, she will take office the same day.

“I’m very much looking forward to working with you on efforts to make Japan’s economy stronger, and to reshape Japan as a country that can be responsible for future generations,” Takaichi told the JIP’s cohead Hirofumi Yoshimura as they signed the deal.

Yoshimura said he was convinced the parties were “on the same page about our passion to move Japan forward.”

Takaichi, 64, seen as a China hawk and traditionalist from the right wing of the LDP, won the party leadership this month. However, her bid to become prime minister was derailed by the collapse of the LDP’s coalition with the Komeito party after 26 years.

Komeito said the LDP had failed to tighten party funding rules following a damaging slush fund scandal.

It was also unnerved by Takaichi’s previous harsh rhetoric on China and her regular visits to a Tokyo shrine that honors Japan’s war dead, including war criminals.

The clock was ticking for Takaichi to be appointed.

US President Donald Trump is due to visit at the end of the month on his way to the APEC summit in South Korea.

Details of a trade deal between Washington and Tokyo remain unresolved, and Trump also wants Japan to stop Russian energy imports and boost defense spending.

The LDP’s new coalition with JIP is still two seats shy of the lower house majority needed for Takaichi to be appointed. However, Takaichi is still likely to win, as in a second-round runoff vote she only needs more support than the other candidate.

The announcement of a new coalition pushed the Nikkei 225 index up more than 3 percent to a new record above 49,000 points.

Mizuho Securities analyst Yutaka Miura said that investors were cheered by hopes of “proactive fiscal policies” by Takaichi, Bloomberg reported.

Takaichi has in the past backed aggressive monetary easing and expanded government spending, aping the “Abenomics” of her mentor, former prime minister Shinzo Abe.

During the leadership campaign, Takaichi toned down her rhetoric on the economy and on China.

Being in a minority in both houses of parliament, the new coalition would need support from other parties to push through legislation.

JIP’s other cohead, Fumitake Fujita, on Sunday said that forming legislative agreements would “remain difficult.”

The JIP wants to lower the consumption tax rate on food to zero, and to abolish corporate and organizational donations, Kyodo News reported on Sunday.

The smaller party is also in favor of reducing the number of lawmakers. Reports say it will not hold any ministerial posts in Takaichi’s Cabinet.

SEVEN-MINUTE HEIST:  The masked thieves stole nine pieces of 19th-century jewelry, including a crown, which they dropped and damaged as they made their escape

The hunt was on yesterday for the band of thieves who stole eight priceless royal pieces of jewelry from the Louvre Museum in the heart of Paris in broad daylight.

Officials said a team of 60 investigators was working on the theory that the raid was planned and executed by an organized crime group.

The heist reignited a row over a lack of security in France’s museums, with French Minister of Justice yesterday admitting to security flaws in protecting the Louvre.

“What is certain is that we have failed, since people were able to park a furniture hoist in the middle of Paris, get people up it in several minutes to grab priceless jewels and give France a terrible image,” he told France Inter radio.

After several other robberies from French museums in recent months, French Minister of the Interior Laurent Nunez on Sunday acknowledged that securing them was a “major weak spot.”

The thieves arrived between 9:30 and 9:40am on Sunday, shortly after the museum opened to the public at 9am, a source close to the investigation said.

They used a truck with an extendable ladder like those used by movers to get access to the Apollo Gallery, home to the royal collection, and cutting equipment to get in through a window and open the display cases.

A brief clip of the raid, apparently filmed on the phone of a visitor to the museum, was broadcast on French news channels.

The masked thieves stole nine 19th-century items of jewelry, one of which — the crown of the Empress Eugenie — they dropped and damaged as they made their escape.

It is covered in 1,354 diamonds and 56 emeralds, according to the museum’s Web site.

Eight “priceless” items of jewelry were stolen, the French Ministry of Culture said on Sunday.

The list they released included an emerald-and-diamond necklace that Napoleon gave his wife Empress Marie-Louise.

Also stolen was a diadem that once belonged to the Empress Eugenie, which is dotted with nearly 2,000 diamonds, and a necklace that once belonged to Marie-Amelie, the last queen of France. It has eight sapphires and 631 diamonds, the Louvre Web site says.

The whole raid took just seven minutes and is thought to have been carried out by an experienced team, possibly “foreigners,” Nunez said.

The intervention of the museum’s staff forced the thieves to flee, leaving behind some of the equipment used in the raid, the culture ministry said.

The loot would be impossible to sell on in its current state, said Alexandre Giquello, president of the auctioneer house Drouot.

It was the first theft from the Louvre since 1998, when a painting by Camille Corot was stolen and never seen again.

Sunday’s raid relaunched a debate over what critics says is poor security at the nation’s museums, far less secure than banks and increasingly targeted by thieves.

Last month, criminals broke into Paris’s Natural History Museum, making off with gold samples worth US$700,000.

The same month, thieves stole two dishes and a vase from a museum in the central city of Limoges, the losses estimated at US$7.6 million.

Sunday’s robbery sparked angry political reactions.

“How far will the disintegration of the state go?” National Rally party leader Jordan Bardella said on social media, calling the theft “an unbearable humiliation for our country.”

French President Emmanuel Macron said on social media that “everything” was being done to catch the perpetrators and recover the stolen treasures.

EU countries yesterday agreed to phase out their remaining gas imports from Russia by the end of 2027, breaking a dependency the bloc has struggled to end despite Moscow’s war on Ukraine.

Energy ministers meeting in Luxembourg approved a plan by the European Commission to phase out pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from Russia, subject to approval by the bloc’s parliament.

Lars Aagaard, minister for climate, energy and utilities of Denmark, which holds the EU’s rotating presidency, called it a “crucial” step to make Europe energy independent.

The plan is part of a broader EU strategy to wean the bloc off Russian energy supplies.

“Although we have worked hard and pushed to get Russian gas and oil out of Europe in recent years, we are not there yet,” Aagaard said.

The commission is in parallel pushing for LNG imports to be phased out one year earlier, by January 2027, as part of a new package of sanctions aimed at sapping Moscow’s war chest.

However, sanctions need unanimous approval from the EU’s 27 nations, which has at times been hard to reach. Trade restrictions like those approved yesterday instead require the backing of a weighted majority of 15 countries.

All but Hungary and Slovakia, which are diplomatically closer to the Kremlin and still import Russian gas via pipeline, supported the latest move, diplomats said.

“The real impact of this regulation is that our safe supply of energy in Hungary is going to be killed,” Budapest’s top diplomat, Peter Szijjarto, told reporters.

His government says the landlocked country needs to import gas from Russia due to geographical constraints.

Under the proposal, Russian gas imports under new contracts would be banned as of Jan. 1 next year. Existing contracts would benefit from a transition period, with inflows under short-term contracts allowed until June 17 next year and those under long-term contracts until Jan. 1, 2028.

Although gas imports from Russia via pipeline have fallen sharply since the invasion of Ukraine, several European countries have increased their purchases of Russian LNG transported by sea.

Russian gas still accounts for an estimated 13 percent of EU imports this year, worth more than 15 billion euros (US$17.5 billion), according to Brussels.

Authorities are seeking to formally arrest most of the 64 South Koreans repatriated from Cambodia for allegedly working for online scam organizations in Cambodia, police said yesterday.

The 64 South Koreans were detained in Cambodia over the past several months and were flown to Korea on a charter flight on Saturday. Upon arrival in South Korea, they were detained while police investigated whether they voluntarily joined scam organizations in Cambodia or were forced to work there.

Online scams, many based in Southeast Asian nations, have risen sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic and produced two sets of victims: the tens of thousands of people who have been forced to work as scammers under the threat of violence, and the targets of their fraud.

Monitoring groups say online scams earn international criminal gangs billions of dollars annually.

State prosecutors have asked local courts to issue arrest warrants for 58 of the 64 returnees at the request of police, the Korean National Police Agency said in a statement. Police said the people they are seeking to place under arrest are accused of engaging in online fraud activities, such as romantic scams, bogus investment pitches or voice phishing, apparently targeting fellow South Koreans at home. The courts are expected to determine whether to approve their arrests in coming days.

The police agency said that five people have been set free, but it refused to disclose the reasons for their releases, saying investigations are still under way.

South Korean police said that four of the 64 returnees told investigators that they were beaten while being held in scam centers in Cambodia against their will.

South Korea faces public calls to take stronger action to protect its nationals from being forced into overseas online scam centers, after one of its nationals was found dead in Cambodia in August. He was reportedly lured by a friend to travel to Cambodia to provide his bank account to be used by a scam organization. Authorities in Cambodia said the 22-year-old university student was tortured.

Estimates from the UN and other international agencies say that at least 100,000 people have been trafficked to scam centers in Cambodia, with a similar number in Myanmar and tens of thousands more in other countries.

Officials in Seoul estimate that about 1,000 South Koreans are in scam centers in Cambodia, and last week, South Korean authorities imposed a travel ban on parts of Cambodia and sent a government delegation to Cambodia to discuss joint steps.

CHINA

Envoy to WTO removed

Senior Chinese trade negotiator Li Chenggang (李成鋼) has been removed from his post as permanent representative to the WTO, Xinhua news agency reported yesterday, just days after US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent described him as “unhinged.” Li, during a visit to Washington in August, had allegedly threatened that “China would unleash chaos on the global system if the US went ahead with our docking fees for Chinese ships,” Bessent said in an interview with CNBC on Wednesday last week, adding that his behavior was “slightly unhinged.” Xinhua yesterday published a list of ambassadorial appointments and changes, including the removal of Li as WTO envoy. Asked if the move was related to Bessent’s comments, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said: “This is a routine personnel change.” Li remains China’s international trade representative and vice minister of commerce.

AUSTRALIA

PLA jet maneuver ‘unsafe’

Canberra yesterday raised concerns with Beijing after a Chinese fighter jet dropped flares near one of its maritime patrol planes, labeling the incident “unsafe and unprofessional.” The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) jet released flares in close proximity to an Australian maritime patrol plane carrying out surveillance in the South China Sea, posing a risk to the latter craft and its crew, the Department of Defence said in a statement. “On two occasions, it released flares very close to the [Australian patrol plane] P-8,” Minister for Defence Richard Marles said in a TV interview with Sky News Australia. “And it’s really that, the proximity at which the flares were released, which has given us cause to deem this unsafe and unprofessional.” Marles said the government had raised its concerns with the Chinese embassy in Canberra and through the Australian embassy in Beijing. The Chinese embassy did not immediately respond to an e-mailed request for comment.

SOUTH KOREA

US acting envoy leaving

Acting US ambassador to South Korea Joseph Yun is to leave his position on Friday, the US embassy in Seoul said in a social media post yesterday. “The State Department expresses its deep appreciation to Ambassador Yun for his leadership and dedication in advancing the United States’ interests and further strengthening our enduring and ironclad commitment to the US-Republic of Korea Alliance,” the embassy wrote on X. Local media, including newspaper Hankyoreh, on Sunday reported that US Deputy Assistant Secretary for Japan, Korea and Mongolia Kevin Kim is expected to replace Yun as acting US ambassador to Seoul without citing a clear source. Yun leaving his post comes days before US President Donald Trump is expected to visit South Korea later this month for a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).

Amazon Web Services (AWS) yesterday morning reported a widespread disruption that affected services on other platforms. “We can confirm increased error rates and latencies for multiple AWS Services in the US-EAST-1 Region.” Amazon.com Inc said on the AWS health dashboard. User complaints began spiking just after 7:30am London time, with data from Down Detector showing thousands of user reports. Artificial intelligence firm Perplexity said the AWS service disruption was “affecting the stability of the website.” A representative for Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment as of press time last night.


title: Meet the air guitar champion of the world

content_text:
‘The Angus’ won the award after a performance of explosive energy, perfect mime and rock star charisma

I was 10 when I read an article in the local paper about the Air Guitar World Championships, which take place every year in my home town of Oulu, Finland. My parents had helped out at the very first contest back in 1996 — my mum gave out fliers, my dad sorted the music. Since then, national championships have been held all across the world, with the winners assembling in Oulu every summer.

At the time, I asked my parents if I could compete. At first they were hesitant; the event was in a bar, and there would be a lot of adults. They thought it might be an intimidating atmosphere, but I was determined.

As a kid, I was always “playing” air guitar, miming along to the biggest rock tunes with my imaginary instrument. My parents were music fans — my dad loved Bruce Springsteen and U2. AC/DC was the first band I discovered on my own. Angus Young, the lead guitarist, was my hero.

When I stepped on stage, I did my routine to AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie. The crowd started chanting “Angus,” just like on the live recording, and it hit me: this is what it feels like to be a rock star. I made it to the finals, playing to hundreds of people in Oulu’s market square, and I was hooked. I got the nickname “Little Angus” that day.

Then I took a break. I was a judge one year, and opened for the show another time, but I didn’t compete. I went back at 18, tried a few different stage names, but people kept calling me “Little Angus” so I decided to own it and make “The Angus” my stage name. I’ve made it to the final every year since 2022, and in 2023 I came second, so I was determined to win this year.

The competition itself is intense but joyful. Contestants have 60 seconds to give everything — explosive energy, perfect mime, rock star charisma — on an invisible guitar. Judges score you on a scale from 4.0 to 6.0. In the case of a tie, there’s an “air-off” between the final two contestants: a song plays and you improvise.

Preparation is everything. I chose an Avenged Sevenfold song for my routine. I listened to it on a loop for weeks. I stretched constantly, trying to get my legs loose enough to leap, my fingers fast enough to mimic solos and my back ready for those bends and jumps. By the time competition day came, I could feel the song in my bones.

After everyone had performed, the scores came in, and I had tied with the Japanese champion, Yuta “Sudo-chan” Sudo — it was time for an air-off. We went head-to-head to Sweet Child o’ Mine by Guns N’ Roses. When I heard the song, I felt relieved because it was one that I knew, and more than anything I was so excited to perform one more time. When they announced I’d won, the square erupted.

The moment is hazy. I think I blacked out from shock. Then everyone started singing Neil Young’s Rockin’ in the Free World and lifted me on to their shoulders. Justin Howard — AKA Nordic Thunder — a former champion and one of my closest friends, was hugging me. I cried. I was Finland’s first air guitar world champion in 25 years. The previous Finnish champion, Markus “Black Raven” Vainionpaa, was there, too. He gave me the biggest hug and said it was “about damn time.”

The air guitar community is like a family. Our motto is “Make air, not war.” It sounds silly, but it’s a real philosophy. People come from all over the world, and everyone is supportive and encouraging. Before you go on stage, every competitor comes and hugs you. Then for 60 seconds you’re allowed to be free, silly, the biggest rock star in the world.

I’m also a drummer and guitarist in a band with my brother called the Southgates, named after Gareth Southgate, as we’re influenced by Britpop and new wave. I’ve been bartending for a few years now, and I direct short films and music videos. Winning hasn’t changed my day-to-day life too much but I’ve been doing a lot of press, and I hope it leads to more creative work. Oulu will be a European capital of culture next year, so there are exciting things ahead.

For now, I’m just grateful: for the community, for the chance to perform, and for that little kid who picked up a newspaper and thought, “I want to do that.”


title: The parenting hacks that actually work

content_text:
Smart speakers are a great parenting crutch, whether it be for setting a timer (kids seem to be weirdly obedient to them) or asking Alexa for homework help when the kids put you on the spot. But reader Katie Matthews has hacked the parenting matrix.

“I used to have to nag repeatedly to get the kids out of the house,” she says. “Now our Google speaker announces a five-minute warning before we need to leave. They know they have to do their last bits of faffing when they hear that warning. Then the speaker announces, ‘Shoes on, let’s go!’ when it’s time to leave. It really has transformed our mornings.”

MEALTIME MUSTS

Children on Oct. 12 jump on colorful trampolines near a light installation at a park in Beijing, China. Photo: AP

Getting your child to endure the torture of eating the food that has been lovingly prepared for them can be painful. But this sweet tip comes tried and tested from author Holly Bourne.

“Making my daughter ‘ice-cream’ for breakfast — with blended avocado, banana, strawberries and full-fat Greek yoghurt — has been a gamechanger. It’s important not to ‘trick’ kids into eating healthy food, so she helps us make it and sees what goes into the blender, but doesn’t seem to mind if it’s becoming ice-cream.”

While some of us fret about snacking, reader Sarah de Malplaquet says giving her six-year-old a snack plate of raw vegetables before dinner has improved mealtimes.

“He happily munches through veggies he would reject at dinner, and then the pressure is off when we sit down to eat as we know he’s already had a variety of vegetables.”

And if the dinner table has become a war zone, Sue from Norwich has a suggestion: “When sharing something tasty between two boys, one would cut and the other would get to choose which half they’d like.”

Some parents have had great success in actually handing over the cooking responsibilities. Jo from Berkshire shares: “When my son was seven, his grandmother taught him to make a cheese omelet, and now he’ll make that for breakfast for the whole family at any opportunity, because it makes him feel responsible. There’s something about giving kids a role in the family that pushes them a bit – and they feel like it’s something grownup and maybe a bit dangerous! That’s been a real parenting win.”

DAY TRIPS

Nadia from London has an idea that sounds such fun you’ll be booking a day out asap.

“I’ve always loved museums,” she says, “but they can be overwhelming for children. For decades now, I’ve done something called ‘playing postcards.’ We do the museum backwards, visiting the gift shop first. Each child gets to choose three postcards. Then they take it in turns to find that particular artwork in the museum and give us a little information about the piece from the details on the postcard, or from any gallery plaque. At the end of this treasure-hunt-style activity, we vote for our favorite in the cafe.”

If even deciding where to go is a trial, Deb from Dorset says she gives her children a choice — and smaller kids will usually go for the last of three options, so make that your preference.

“They are really happy it’s their choice,” she says. “If you’ve got more than one child, make sure they know whose turn it is to choose and be absolutely rigorous in sticking to that — children love fairness.”

HYGIENE HACKS

On dealing with kids’ personal hygiene, Pip from London says, “‘Try for three, then ask for me’ is a great mantra — it’s been good for bum-wiping at least.”

And when it comes to younger children, Caroline from Derby says, “When cutting a baby’s fingernails, put them in a high chair so you’ve got both arms free to hold a reluctant baby arm — it also works for brushing teeth and administering medicine.”

To get kids into the bath, Anna from Manchester suggests saying something like: “I bet you can’t get into the bath by the time I count to 10 — and if you do, I’ll do a silly dance.”

Battling to then get them out again? Try this from Catherine in Birmingham: “My baby hates getting out of the bath and it used to start a pre-bedtime tantrum. Now we say goodbye to the bath toys and put them away one by one as the bath water drains out. She’s eventually sitting in an empty bath and is then happy to move on to the next stage of the bedtime routine.”

And if you’ve been worn down by chasing reluctant kids with SPF, reader Carly shares this genius idea: “Apply sunscreen or moisturizer with a tanning mitt. It takes 30 seconds to do a whole body and goes on more evenly.”

MAKING PLAYTIME FUN

To break up the tedium of parenting, Julia Pegg from Sheffield suggests: “When times get tough on my 87th read of Paw Patrol: Pups Save Adventure Bay, I imagine I’m a minor celebrity on CBeebies Bedtime Story. I look into the ‘camera’ and give the performance of a lifetime. I can suddenly do voices, tone and inflection with much greater ease, and convey all the feelings I can muster. It seems silly, but it definitely lifts the monotony.”

Sean, a headteacher and father of two, offers a mental shift that helps him: “I remind myself that one day they won’t ask me to play Lego or dinosaurs — that makes me enjoy it while I can.”

JUST BEHAVE!

There are moments you feel you’d do anything to get your kids to stop fighting, screaming or causing chaos.

“When the kids are driving me up the wall, I call on a piece of advice a friend gave me: take them outside or put them in water, whether that’s a bath or playing with a water gun,” says Katharine from Exeter. “The change of environment really helps with de-escalating a tantrum.”

Emily from London plays “you’re not allowed to laugh” when her three children kick off. The idea is the children can be as sad or furious as they need to be, but they must not laugh.

“Any smile or giggle, we pounce on with ‘No laughing, you’re supposed to be cross!’ Within minutes, they’re all usually laughing hysterically. I don’t know why it works, but it’s saved me many times.”

New California law phases out ultra-processed foods 加州簽新法 學餐不再供應過度加工食品

California will phase out certain ultra-processed foods from school meals over the next decade under a first-in-the-nation law signed on Oct. 8 by Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The law seeks to define ultra-processed foods, the often super-tasty products typically full of sugar, salt and unhealthy fats. The legislation requires the state’s Department of Public Health to adopt rules by mid-2028 defining “ultra-processed foods of concern” and “restricted school foods.”

Schools have to start phasing out those foods by July 2029, and districts will be barred from selling them for breakfast or lunch by July 2035. Vendors will be banned from providing the “foods of concern” to schools by 2032.

California Governor Gavin Newsom speaks at Belvedere Middle School before signing legislation aimed at improving kids’ nutrition and health across California on Oct. 8 in Los Angeles, California, US. The bill bans ultra-processed foods (UPFs) from school meals in the state. 加州州長加文．紐森10月8日在貝爾威德瑞中學發表演說，隨後於簽署一項旨在改善加州兒童營養及健康的法案。該法案禁止加州學校提供含有超加工食品（UPF）的餐點。 Photo: AFP 照片：法新社

Newsom issued an executive order earlier this year requiring the Department of Public Health to provide recommendations by April on limiting harms from ultra-processed foods. The Democratic governor signed a law in 2023 banning certain synthetic food dyes from school meals.

Legislatures across the country have introduced more than 100 bills in recent months seeking to ban or require labeling of chemicals that make up many ultra-processed foods, including artificial dyes and controversial additives.

Americans get more than half their calories from ultra-processed foods, which have been linked to a host of health problems, including obesity, diabetes and heart disease. However, studies haven’t been able to prove that the foods directly cause those chronic health problems.

ags of Oreos sit on shelves at a Target store on June 4 in Austin, Texas, US. Texas Senate Bill 25, a bipartisan bill in the Texas legislature, which went into effect on Sept. 1, implements warning labels on foods containing ingredients not recommended for human consumption. Ingredients include bleached flour, food dyes, sweeteners, oils and various preservatives. 一袋袋奧利奧餅乾擺放在Target超市的貨架上。6月4日攝於美國德州奧斯汀。德州州長簽署、9月1日生效的德州參議院第25號法案，由兩黨共同提出，規定對含有不建議人類食用成分的食品加貼警示標籤。這些成分包括漂白麵粉、食用色素、甜味劑、油脂及各種防腐劑。 Photo: AFP 照片：法新社

DEFINING ULTRA-PROCESSED FOODS

Defining ultra-processed foods has been tricky. The most common definition is based on the four-tier Nova system developed by Brazilian researchers that classifies foods according to the amount of processing they undergo.

Researchers often describe ultra-processed foods as the types of products that contain industrially made ingredients that you won’t find in a home kitchen.

But some highly processed foods — think tofu, certain types of whole-grain bread and infant formula — can be healthy. And it’s not clear whether it’s the processing of the foods or the combination of nutrients such as sugar, fat and salt that leads to poor health outcomes.

US health officials recently launched an effort to come up with a federal definition of ultra-processed foods, saying there are concerns over whether current definitions “accurately capture” the range of foods that may affect health.

SOME SAY CALIFORNIA’S BAN GOES TOO FAR

Some critics of the ban say it is too broad and could unintentionally limit access to nutritious foods.

The California School Boards Association is concerned about the cost for districts to phase out these foods in the next few years. There is no extra money attached to the bill.

“You’re borrowing money from other areas of need to pay for this new mandate,” spokesperson Troy Flint said.

The law could raise costs for school districts by an unknown amount by potentially making them purchase more expensive options, according to an analysis by the Senate Appropriations Committee.

SOME DISTRICTS ALREADY OVERHAULING SCHOOL MENUS

Some school districts in California are already phasing out foods the law seeks to ban.

Michael Jochner spent years working as a chef before taking over as director of student nutrition at the Morgan Hill Unified School District about eight years ago. He fully supports the ban.

Now they don’t serve any ultra-processed foods, and all their items are organic and sourced within about 80km of the district, Jochner said. They removed sugary cereals, fruit juices and flavored milks, and deep-fried foods such as chicken nuggets and tater tots from their menus, he said.

Ravinder Khaira, a pediatrician in Sacramento who supports the law, said at a legislative hearing that the ban will help respond to a surge of chronic conditions in children fueled by poor nutrition.

“Children deserve real access to food that is nutritious and supports their physical, emotional and cognitive development,” Khaira said. “Schools should be safe havens, not a source of chronic disease.”(AP)

加州將在未來十年內逐步汰除學校餐食中的一些過度加工食品（又譯超加工食品），這項全美首創的法律已於10月8日由州長加文．紐森簽署生效。

這項法律旨在界定何謂「過度加工食品」，這類食品通常口感強烈、味道好，但含有大量的糖、鹽，以及不健康的脂肪。法案規定，加州公共衛生部必須在2028年年中以前制定規範，定義「有疑慮的過度加工食品」以及「必須限制的學校食品」。

學校必須在2029年7月前開始逐步淘汰這些食品，而各學區將在2035年7月起不得於早餐或午餐中販售這些食品。供應商也將在2032年前被禁止提供這些「有疑慮的食品」給學校。

紐森今年稍早已發布行政命令，要求公共衛生部在明年4月前提出建議，以減少過度加工食品所帶來的危害。這位民主黨籍州長在2023年也簽署了一項禁止學校餐點中使用特定人工食用色素的法律。

美國各州近來已提出超過100項相關法案，試圖禁用或要求標示過度加工食品中所含的化學成分，包括人工色素和具爭議的添加物。

美國人攝取的熱量中有超過一半來自過度加工食品，而這些食品已被證實與多種健康問題有關，包括肥胖、糖尿病與心臟疾病。然而，目前尚無研究能明確證明這些食品直接導致慢性病。

過度加工食品之定義仍具爭議

如何定義「過度加工食品」，一直是個難題。目前最常見的定義來自巴西研究人員開發的「Nova食品分類系統」，該系統依食品的加工程度分類成四級。

研究人員通常形容過度加工食品為含有工業製成成分的產品，而這些成分在一般家庭廚房中幾乎不會出現。

但也有些經高度加工的食品——例如豆腐、某些全穀類麵包和嬰兒配方奶粉——對健康有益。而目前尚不清楚，究竟是加工方式本身，還是糖、脂肪和鹽的營養組合，才是導致健康問題的真正因素。

美國衛生官員近期也啟動一項工作，試圖建立聯邦層級的「過度加工食品」定義，因為目前的定義是否能「準確涵蓋」那些可能影響健康的食品，仍有爭議。

部分人士認為禁令過於嚴苛

一些批評者認為這項禁令範圍過廣，可能不知不覺限縮了學生獲取營養食品的機會。

加州教育董事會協會擔憂學區在未來幾年內執行淘汰措施所需的成本，因為該法案並未提供額外的經費支援。

該協會發言人特洛伊．弗林特表示：「你必須從其他更需要資源的領域中挪用預算，來支付這項新命令的費用」。

根據加州參議院預算委員會的分析，這項法律可能會提高學區的支出，因為他們可能需要購買更昂貴的替代品，但具體增加多少仍無法預估。

部分學區已開始改變學校菜單

加州已有一些學區率先淘汰即將被禁止的食品。

麥可．喬赫納曾擔任多年主廚，約8年前成為摩根山聯合學區學生營養部門的主管。他對這項禁令表示全力支持。

喬赫納表示，他們現在完全不提供任何過度加工食品，所有食品都是有機產品，並且來源距離學區不超過80公里。他們已經將含糖穀片、果汁、調味牛奶，以及炸雞塊和炸薯餅等油炸食品移出菜單。

沙加緬度的小兒科醫師拉溫德．凱拉在立法聽證會中表示，這項禁令有助於對抗因營養不良而造成的兒童慢性病激增問題。

他表示：「孩子們應該有真正的機會獲取營養的食品，足以維持他們的身體、情緒和認知發展。學校應該是安全的避風港，而不是慢性疾病的來源」。

我們想讓你知道…當世界正在重新定義文化主體時，台灣正有機會透過這座博物館，展現對《聯合國原住民族權利宣言》的承諾，也讓世界看見原住民族不再是歷史的註腳，而是書寫未來的作者。

▲這座位於高雄澄清湖畔、以原住民族為核心的國家級博物館，代表文化主權的象徵，啟動了產業創生的引擎。（圖／翻攝自Facebook／原住民族委員）

●魯瑪夫／中原大學設計學院副教授、長期推動原住民文化政策實踐、參與多項國際人道救援與文化合作計畫

當世界朝向「文化多樣性即人類共同遺產」的方向前進之際，未來國立台灣原住民博物館的設立也將迎來一項具有世紀意義的文化里程碑。這不僅是國家文化政策的一個新篇章，更是回應《聯合國原住民族權利宣言》（UNDRIP）中第11條至第15條所明定的「文化權利」與「自我詮釋權」的具體實踐。它象徵著台灣社會終於從「展示原住民」走向「讓原住民族展示自己」。

台灣邁向「文化多元共榮國家」的重要起點 這座博物館有3層面使命

然而，若這座博物館僅止於「展示」層次，將使其潛能被局限為靜態記憶的空間，而非動態的文化復興現場。正如聯合國教科文組織（UNESCO）在文化永續發展議程中所指出：「文化不是附屬品，而是發展的根基。」

因此，這座位於高雄澄清湖畔、以原住民族為核心的國家級博物館，代表文化主權的象徵，啟動了產業創生的引擎。

這個國家級博物館的誕生，應當是台灣邁向「文化多元共榮國家」的重要起點。它的使命，應包括三個層面：文化主體的確立、知識體系的再生、以及產業網絡的擴展。

首先，這座博物館必須作為原住民族文化自決的場域。不論是典藏、策展、教育或研究，核心都應由族人主導。聯合國宣言第18條明確指出：「原住民族有權參與影響其權利的決策程序。」

因此，政府應建立制度化的「原住民族策展參與機制」，並在博物館治理架構中，確保族人代表的實質席次與決策權，超越象徵性出席的意義。唯有如此，博物館才不會淪為「非原住民族詮釋原住民」的場域。

其次，它應當成為推動文化產業與教育創新的節點。原住民族的語言、圖騰、神話與藝術，都蘊含著龐大的文化創意資源。若能透過制度化的授權與收益分配機制，發展出具族群主體性的文化IP（Intellectual Property），即可帶動服飾設計、音樂製作、動畫創作、手作工藝與AR/VR體驗等跨域產業，讓文化真正「活起來」，成為族群經濟與青年創業的動能。

第三，這座博物館也應是全球對話的平台。台灣的原住民族屬於廣義的南島語族（Austronesian），文化延伸橫跨太平洋與印度洋，與紐西蘭、馬達加斯加、復活節島、馬來西亞、印尼、帛琉等地的原住民族群共享相似的語言與信仰傳統。若能以聯合國的國際文化外交框架為依據，建立「世界原住民族博物館聯盟」的跨國合作機制，將台灣推向全球南島文化網絡的核心樞紐，不僅提升國際能見度，也讓世界看見台灣在文化正義與族群平權上的努力。

此外，這座博物館在人力與制度設計上應落實文化尊重。從聘用與組織架構上，應確保族人不僅是館內的「工作者」，更是「敘事者」與「決策者」。建立族人專業培力體系，從策展、導覽、典藏到研究，全面培養文化專業人才，並引入「文化資歷評鑑制度」，讓長者、文化工作者能以實務經驗進入正式體系，落實《宣言》第15條強調的「尊嚴與文化再現」原則。

最重要的是，國立台灣原住民博物館必須成為一個「文化長出未來」的地方。它不應只陳列過去，更能啟動未來。不只保存歷史的記憶上，同時構築族群再生的希望。它應連結部落、學術、產業與國際，將文化於澄清湖畔的土地立穩，向未來成展茁壯，從展櫃出發，走向世界。

當世界正在重新定義文化主體時，台灣正有機會透過這座博物館，展現其對《聯合國原住民族權利宣言》的承諾，也讓世界看見原住民族不再是歷史的註腳，而是書寫未來的作者。

美國股市在10月20日表現亮眼，三大指數集體走高。道瓊工業指數漲382.50點，漲幅0.83％，報46573.11點；標普500指數上漲67.66點，漲幅1.02％，報6731.67點；那斯達克綜合指數則上漲317.79點，漲幅達1.40％，報22997.76點。科技股領軍，蘋果創下歷史新高。

蘋果股價今日強勢攀升，最高一度來到262.86美元，大漲4.19％，刷新歷史新高。市場分析指出，iPhone 17需求熱烈，帶動投資信心，投行也上調了蘋果評級至「買入」。

亞馬遜股價開盤即走高，漲1.00％至215.18美元，儘管旗下雲端服務AWS曾一度發生全球連線故障，但目前大部分服務已恢復正常，官方也表示正在釐清問題根源，並確認障礙源自EC2內部網路。

在半導體板塊，台積電ADR漲2.71％至303.19美元，輝達則小漲0.28％至183.73美元。美光科技股價表現突出，漲幅高達3.9％，創下歷史新高，主要受惠於巴克萊調升目標價。其他科技巨頭如Alphabet、Meta、微軟也分別漲0.96％、1.81％及0.70％，網飛則上漲2.43％，特斯拉汽車漲0.99％。

除了股市表現，金價同樣受到關注。現貨黃金盤中一度飆升2.19％至每盎司4340美元，日內最大漲幅達3.24％，紐約期金也突破4350美元大關，反映避險需求增加。

▲法國巴黎羅浮宮19日驚傳世紀竊案。（圖／路透）

文／朱錦華

法國巴黎羅浮宮博物館19日驚爆震撼世界的竊盜案！4名竊賊闖進館內「阿波羅長廊」(Galerie d’Apollon)，僅花7分鐘即打碎兩座加固玻璃的展示櫃，竊走9件價值連城、跨越19世紀初至拿破崙三世時期的皇室珠寶，當中包括拿破崙三世(Napoleon III)之妻歐仁妮皇后(Empress Eugenie)的后冠（因為歹徒掉落，後來被尋回）。

這宗竊盜案戲劇化的過程宛如好萊塢電影，讓人難以置信。 我上周才寫了一篇關於法國目前政治、社會狀況亂糟糟的文章。如今又爆出如此離譜的世紀竊案，勢必再度重創「榮耀的法蘭西」形象。

▲拿破崙三世之妻：歐仁妮皇后的后冠。(圖／記者閔文昱攝)

法國歷史上的確有過幾度高光時刻。當中「太陽王」路易十四時代是一個頂峰。巧的是，這次案發地點「阿波羅長廊」，正是路易十四所建。之後，砲兵少尉拿破崙崛起，橫掃歐洲，睥睨一世，是法國人心中最大的驕傲（事實上，拿破崙出生於原本屬於義大利的科西嘉島，來自義大利托斯卡尼的貴族家庭）。

儘管從1534至1980年期間，法國成為僅次於大英帝國的全球第二大殖民帝國，然而，1870年「普法戰爭」時，拿破崙三世在「色當戰役」被俘；以及二戰時巴黎淪陷。在希特勒的鐵蹄下呻吟，都是法國人心中永遠抺不去的恥辱。更嚴重的是，昔日殖民帝國結束後帶來了反撲。

▲羅浮宮失竊珠寶：瑪麗艾蜜莉皇后(Queen Marie-Amélie)與奧坦絲皇后(Queen Hortense)的藍寶石首飾。（圖／記者董美琪攝）

英國著名帝國主義詩人吉卜齡(Rudyard Kipling)嘗有「白人的負擔」(The White Man's Burden)之說。他呼籲白人應該擔起「文明」的責任，透過殖民將白人的文明及其價值觀傳播給其他種族（實則是藉此之名行剝削之實）。但是如今，反撲來了。大量來自昔日殖民地的人移民法國（非法移民還不包括在內），造成嚴重的社會問題。

由於膚色、宗教、語言和文化上的歧異，大多數移民普遍遭到歧視，社經地位低下。法國社會的治安問題近年來一直為外國遊客所詬病。我的前老闆和前同事都曾在巴黎被搶劫過。

與此同時，羅浮宫遭竊已非首次。1911年時，鎮館之寶《蒙娜麗莎》也被竊過。觀乎羅浮宫的保全及防盜系統的「二二二六」，加上大街上搶劫橫行，在在反映昔日的「法蘭西的榮光」，正在逐漸褪色中……。

▲營養師曝小吃店血糖殺手 點名「2類食物」更是雙重碳水炸彈。（圖／CFP）

記者趙蔡州／綜合報導

小吃店是許多人平日解決三餐的選項之一，不過營養師李婉萍提醒，小吃店中餛飩麵及羹麵是「雙重碳水炸彈」，若正在控糖的人要注意避免，她也分享5種麵店安心菜單，「麵店安心菜單這樣吃，不但有飽足感，還能兼顧血糖與營養，終於不用每天只靠地瓜及水煮蛋過日子啦」。

營養師李婉萍在臉書表示，台灣最常見的中式麵店、小吃攤，很容易不小心就點到「碳水炸彈」，血糖立刻飆高，常見的地雷有乾麵、麻醬麵、羹湯，還有黑輪、豬血糕、油豆腐、炸物小菜，這些看起來不起眼，其實都是血糖的「隱藏殺手」，尤其餛飩麵及羹麵更是「雙重碳水炸彈」。

李婉萍說明，餛飩麵其實就是將多顆餛飩與麵條組合，光是1顆餛飩熱量就要60卡，再加上麵條，2種碳水化合物的組合真的是熱量爆表，至於羹麵由於會加入太白粉（木薯或地瓜）調製，不僅澱粉含量高，且還會包裹油脂，若正在控糖的人真的要注意避免。

李婉萍也說，小菜類如黑輪、竹輪、甜不辣、豬血糕等都是澱粉類加工品，若已經有食用主食，就要注意避免過量攝取，另外台灣人愛吃的豬皮、腿庫肉、白切三層肉等都含有豐富油脂，長期過量攝取可能會增加心血管疾病風險。

李婉萍也分享5種麵店安心菜單，分別如下：組合一、湯意麵、里肌肉或嘴邊肉、滷海帶。組合二、陽春湯麵、滷蛋或豆乾、涼拌小黃瓜。組合三、雞肉飯（小）、里肌肉或嘴邊肉、青菜豆腐湯。組合四、餛飩湯、涼拌乾絲、燙青菜。組合五、水餃8至10粒、青菜蛋花湯。

李婉萍指出，選擇食物時，其實只要遵守3個原則，不但能吃得有飽足感，還能兼顧血糖與營養，首先是「主食優先選湯麵，油比較少、份量好控制」，其次是「小菜挑燙青菜、海帶、豆乾、滷蛋等，補纖維又有蛋白質」，最後是「湯品，選青菜豆腐湯、蛋花湯，千萬避開羹湯、丸子這些加工品」。

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

受「風神颱風」外圍環流及東北季風共伴影響，北台灣今晚（20日）雨勢驚人。氣象署估計，台北市平地24小時雨量可達150至250毫米，山區更上看1100毫米。北市府氣象團隊研判，今晚至明晨8時為最強時段，為防土石流災害，已針對士林、文山、南港、內湖4區邊坡保全戶進行預防性撤離。

北市長蔣萬安晚間視察災害應變中心表示，此次撤離是針對保全戶採「預防性避難」，即使尚未達紅色警戒，也須提前因應強降雨。他指出，根據最新預報，北市今起至22日累積雨量驚人，山區已出現多起落石與小範圍崩塌。南港舊莊里雨量破300毫米達紅色警戒，1戶2人已於上午完成撤離，士林、文山及內湖部分里別亦陸續啟動安置。

農業部農村水保署晚間更新警戒，全台共159條土石流黃色警戒，其中汐止東山里已升為紅色警戒，要求地方政府強制撤離。台北市文山政大里、內湖碧山里及南港舊莊里等多處均在黃色警戒名單內，氣象人員提醒，入夜後仍可能持續升級。

暴雨也引發多起交通與環境災情，一輛白色大貨車在北市道路打滑撞上分隔島，車頭全毀冒煙，所幸無人傷亡。景美溪水暴漲幾乎淹到景美橋，南港山區茶農被迫下山避難。市府傍晚起關閉淡水河、基隆河沿線水門「只出不進」，並警告堤外停車車輛若未移走，將遭拖離並處最高4800元罰鍰。

▲普天精舍圖書館相隔10年重啟，提供優質閱覽環境。（圖／埔里鎮公所提供，下同）

記者高堂堯／南投報導

埔里鎮中台禪寺所屬的普天精舍圖書館封閉長達10年後，於今年8月正式重啟、開放民眾進館閱讀；另今年正值中台禪寺開山祖師惟覺安公老和尚圓寂10週年，暨普天精舍30週年，即日起至10月31日也推出「一念大悲──虛空化現千百億」白描觀音三十二應身相特展，邀請民眾在書香與筆墨間尋回心的安定與自在。

普天圖書館位於埔里市區普天精舍的5樓，佔地200多坪，空間寬敞寧靜，自2003年啟用後即是市區繼埔里鎮立圖書館後提供民眾閱讀、借書的重要文化空間，但因管理志工有限，加上疫情等因素，10年前被迫暫停對外開放至今；館方表示，為敦親睦鄰、廣結善緣與社區深化人文關懷，推廣閱讀與文化教育，於今年8月2日正式重啟。

普天圖書館總召集人林秋惠表示，這次重啟歷時10個月籌備，經募集動員超過60位志工人力、疫情緩解後，從空間規劃、整修佈置、書籍分類重新整頓軟硬體設施，打造出嶄新的開放式空間與主題書區，並以「觀・自在－從心開始閱讀」為主題，搭配普天精舍30周年特展，重新開啟埔里人心靈的閱讀之門。

林秋惠指出，普天圖書館目前館藏約有3萬冊，也持續添購新書、在完成圖書編碼後會陸續上架；館內也提供近60個男、女眾閱讀區，讓使用者專心讀書；除週四全天閉館，周一至周五開館時間為下午2時至5時及晚間7時至9時，週六開館時間則是上午9時至中午12時，以及下午2時至5時，週日全天開館，從上午9時至中午12時、下午2時至5時、晚間7時至9時，歡迎民眾多加利用。

受到風神颱風外圍環流與東北季風的雙重影響，台北、新北、基隆及宜蘭等地20日晚間出現強降雨，累積雨量直逼警戒標準。各地方政府於晚間8時陸續公布21日是否停班停課，結果顯示，北北基桃大多維持正常上班上課，僅有部分區域例外；宜蘭則全面停班停課，花蓮部分地區也宣布停班課，其他縣市目前未有相關公告。

根據中央氣象署於10月20日晚間10時發布的最新分析，預測從21日凌晨2時至22日凌晨2時，各地雨量可能達到停班停課標準的區域包括：台北市山區累積雨量預估250至450毫米（標準值為350毫米），新北市平地200至400毫米（標準值350毫米），新北市山區則落在300至490毫米（標準值350毫米）；桃園市山區與新竹縣山區預計雨量均介於200至340毫米，標準值皆為200毫米。宜蘭縣平地預估雨量200至400毫米，山區則可能達到300至490毫米，兩者標準值均為350毫米。

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

北台灣連日豪雨不斷，今（20）日晚間不少民眾手機陸續收到「土石流紅色警戒」國家警報，引發關注。農業部土石流及大規模崩塌災害緊急應變小組指出，受到東北季風與颱風「風神」外圍環流共伴效應影響，截至下午為止，全台已有1條土石流潛勢溪流達紅色警戒、159條達黃色警戒；另有1處大規模崩塌潛勢區為紅色警戒、2處為黃色警戒。

農業部根據中央氣象署預測雨量研判，入夜後宜蘭縣頭城鎮、基隆市七堵區、暖暖區、台北市士林區、文山區、新北市三芝區、三峽區、平溪區、石碇區、深坑區、新店區、瑞芳區、雙溪區及新竹縣尖石鄉等14個鄉鎮地區，可能達到「紅色警戒發布標準」，建請地方政府提早進行預防性疏散，尤其山區與邊坡聚落需嚴防土石崩塌與溪水暴漲。

根據《災害防救法》第24條規定，發布黃色警戒時地方政府應進行疏散避難勸告；若升至紅色警戒，地方政府可強制撤離居民並進行安置。 農業部提醒，民眾若居住在土石流潛勢溪流旁或山坡地保全住戶清冊區內，應主動留意地方公告，雨勢明顯時盡早撤離，勿等到警報響起才行動。

農業部也呼籲，針對二次災害高風險區（如土石流黃色警戒或鄰近村里），地方政府應提前啟動預防性疏散，並注意48小時內降雨預測，因目前分析顯示北部與東北部雨勢仍將持續。完整紅黃警戒名單與即時土石流潛勢地圖，民眾可上「土石流及大規模崩塌防災資訊網」查詢。

今（20）日一班四川航空從成都天府機場飛往台北松山機場，但受風雨影響，傍晚5點多轉降高雄小港機場。不過，乘客不滿降落高雄後，空等了2個多小時，航空公司卻遲遲不放人下機，氣得聚集機艙門大罵，場面一度混亂。據了解，該航班已於晚間8點47分起飛，原機返回松山。

乘客陳先生投訴《ETtoday新聞雲》表示，他搭乘四川航空從成都天府飛往台北松山機場，但台北風雨大無法降落，從5點多轉降高雄到現在，卻遲遲不讓乘客下機，飛來飛去乘客都很有壓力，他也質疑「我們是台灣人為什麼不讓我們下去？」

陳先生提到，當時第一次降落松山機場沒成功，乘客很多人都很害怕，第二次緊急轉降飛往高雄降落，應該要讓我們入境，但卻不讓乘客入境，大家在機上空等了將近3小時，班機上也有人不舒服，一直到8點多航空公司才提供一個便當，對於這次的處理方式相當不滿。

根據曝光的現場畫面，許多乘客擠在機艙門前想下機，紛紛抱怨「我們好不容易都已經平安降落，我們不想再飛，我們不會拿我們的命開玩笑」，也有乘客不滿對著地勤大罵：「妳說不讓大家下機的，現在有人身體不舒服，出事妳要負責！」

不過，有乘客在航空社團親自還原當時狀況表示，飛機在林口進雲層時亂流很大，大家都在尖叫，後來降落高雄時，大家都在鼓掌，但機上廣播說「加油後會再飛回松山，所以不讓我們下機」。該名苦主表示，機上當時真的很晃，如果硬降落真的很危險。

對此，高雄航空站表示，四川航空3981班次，已於晚間8點47分起飛原機返回松山。

▲柯呈枋宣布角逐彰化縣長。（資料圖／翻攝自柯呈枋臉書）

記者唐詠絮／彰化報導

近日一份在網路上流傳的「彰化縣長選舉網路調查」，點燃了地方政壇的熱烈討論。這份民調名單羅列了多位已表態或具潛力的政治人物，卻獨漏了國民黨籍前立委、現任縣府參議柯呈枋，此一遺漏不僅讓許多支持者感到錯愕，紛紛透過通訊軟體向柯呈枋本人詢問，他則強調自己「一直在路上」，持續深入基層、傾聽民意，對參選的信心始終堅定。

由於該份民調名單中獨漏柯呈枋，柯呈枋今（20）日幽默卻也略帶無奈地回應「今天很多朋友問我『欸！我怎麼沒在那份網路民調上看到你？』老實說，我手機快被問爆了。」他進一步表示，自己也感到很奇怪，因為他幾乎每天都身處在基層，與鄉親們在一起，「怎麼會不見了？」

柯呈枋強調，選舉的關鍵從來不是靠名單上的名字或華麗的話術，而是實實在在的行動與真本事。「我從不靠話題炒熱，只靠一步一腳印走出支持。」柯呈枋說，無論是在地方、市場、廟口還是農田，他都親耳聽見民眾對於彰化未來發展的深切期待。他深信「民調會變，民心不變」，並向鄉親承諾：「我會繼續在路上，堅定信念、腳踏實地。彰化，值得一個一直都在做事的人。」

隨著網路民調引發討論，彰化縣長選戰的潛在競爭者也逐漸浮上檯面，目前國民黨內被點名的熱門人選，除了前立委柯呈枋，前副縣長洪榮章、現任彰化黨部主委、立委謝衣鳯，民眾黨立委張啟楷也有意角逐，使得「藍白合」在地方政壇持續發酵。民進黨的布局也同樣積極。包括現任立委黃秀芳、陳素月、現任彰化市長林世賢，以及前彰化市長、前縣黨部主委邱建富，都已明確表態爭取黨內提名，並紛紛掛上競選看板備戰。

Volkswagen 近日正式宣佈，品牌旗艦 SUV 產品 Touareg 的燃油引擎版本將在 2026 年結束生產，因此推出了 Touareg Final Edition 來致敬燃油時代的終結，即日起至 2026 年 3 月底前在歐洲市場開放預訂，建議售價為 75,025 歐元起 (約合新台幣 268 萬元起)。

▲Volkswagen 近日正式宣佈，品牌旗艦 SUV 產品 Touareg 的燃油引擎版本將在 2026 年結束生產，因此推出了 Touareg Final Edition 來致敬燃油時代的終結。

外觀方面，Touareg Final Edition 標準配備於後門窗框雷射雕刻的 FINAL EDITION 字樣，內裝則將 FINAL EDITION 字樣也壓印於排檔桿皮革上。自 Elegance 等級起更搭載多彩氛圍燈光系統，並在儀表台飾板與車門門檻處加入具發光效果的 FINAL EDITION 銘牌。

▲ FINAL EDITION 字樣壓印於排檔桿皮革上。

Touareg 車系是 Volkswagen 在 2002 年時與 Phaeton 車系一同嘗試挑戰豪華市場的產品，至今發展出 3 個世代，在全球 39 個國家共銷售超過 120 萬輛，向來都是 Volkswagen 展示新技術的平台，例如第一代 Touareg 搭載了電控防傾系統與六段氣壓懸吊，也推出過扭力達 750Nm 的 V10 TDI，第二代首度推出 Hybrid 車型，第三代採用的鋼鋁複合輕量化車體等。

在 Touareg 的歷史中，也有幾件值得回顧的片段，在 2005 年時該廠與研究機構合作的自駕原型車 Touareg Stanley 贏得美國 DARPA Grand Challenge，2006 年則以 V10 TDI 成功拖動重達 155 噸的波音 747 客機，2009~2011 年間藉由 Race Touareg 賽車奪下 3 次達卡拉力賽總冠軍，2011 年則由 Rainer Zietlow 駕著 Touareg V6 TDI 以 11 天 17 小時 22 分的成績，完成從阿根廷火地島橫跨 17 個國家到美國阿拉斯加共 22,750 公里的泛美公路挑戰。

伊萊媽透露，她昨天帶兒女外出用餐，正當孩子們安靜地看書時，後方突然傳來一名陌生男子的聲音，接著對女兒說：「她頭髮好長喔，是從來沒剪過嗎？」她一轉頭，竟看見該男子在把玩女兒的頭髮。讓伊萊媽感到不舒服的是，事後她才發現，這位隨意碰她女兒的男子不是客人，而是餐廳的人，「那一刻真的有種說不出的噁心感。怎麼會有人覺得可以這樣？怎麼會覺得摸一下小女生的頭髮沒什麼？」

伊萊媽坦言，她在事發當下整個人愣住，腦子一片空白，才會下意識地回對方：「有啊，有剪過。」她也透露，自己之所以沒選擇離開，是因為孩子們太開心、太期待那餐，而且完全沒察覺剛剛發生的事。為了不破壞孩子們的用餐興致，她只好選擇隱忍，硬著頭皮吃完，但事後還是越想越氣、越覺得不對，「有些邊界不該是靠『禮貌』維持的，而是靠清楚的拒絕。 」

記者黃宥寧／台北報導

新北汐止區36歲賓姓男子18日清晨駕車行經中興路與福德一路口時，撞上正在過馬路的81歲林姓婦人，事發後不僅未停車報警，還心虛棄車逃逸，由友人接應藏匿基隆。警方調閱監視器鎖定車輛行蹤，19日將賓男逮捕到案並依法移送。士檢複訊後，認定其涉犯過失致死重罪且有逃亡之虞，向法院聲請羈押，士林地院稍早裁定收押、不禁見。

案發於18日凌晨4時58分，賓男駕駛自用車行經汐止中興路與福德一路口時，撞上正通過斑馬線的林姓婦人。警方趕抵時，僅見林婦倒臥路中，當場失去呼吸心跳，肇事車輛早已逃逸。傷者隨即送醫搶救，仍宣告不治。

汐止警分局接獲報案後成立專案小組，調閱沿線監視器鎖定車輛及逃逸路線，發現賓男肇事後棄車，並由友人接應前往基隆藏匿。警方報請檢察官指揮偵辦，並向法院聲請拘票，於19日晚間順利逮捕賓男到案。

賓男到案後坦承，事發當下因「太緊張」才會逃逸，警訊後被依過失致死等罪嫌移送士林地檢署。今（20）日下午檢方複訊後，認他涉嫌重大且有逃亡之虞，向法院聲請羈押禁見；士院晚間10點許，裁定收押不禁見。

當立委理歪氣壯地指控「台積電被美國予取予求」時，背後暴露的不是對台灣經濟前景的憂慮，而是對全球產業現況的嚴重無知。若委員們願意稍微理解國際資本的結構，就會發現：台積電早已是一家「全球企業」，而非傳統意義上單純的「國內企業」。

台積電在台灣註冊、繳稅、雇用員工，當然是台灣公司；但其股權高度國際化，外資持股比率高達73%，包括美國、新加坡、挪威等主權基金。若依藍委的邏輯，這家「外資超過7成」的企業要算哪一國的？難道要宣布它是「外國公司」嗎？

台積電的成功，正是全球化的縮影。在股權結構中，ADR託管專戶約占20.5%，是外資持股的重心；加上遍布全球的各大國際投資機構、退休基金與主權基金的持股，凸顯國際資本市場對台積電的信賴。唯有透過這般的全球募資能力，台積電才能以極具競爭力的資金成本擴充先進製程，維持技術領先優勢。那些喊著「不要被美國予取予求」的人，顯然對於高科技產業的資本邏輯一無所知。

再從地緣政治來看，美中貿易對峙已近8年，供應鏈移轉、分散已是全球趨勢。在「科技冷戰」的時代，選邊不是浪漫的情感考量，而是嚴苛的生存抉擇。

台積電赴美設廠，不是屈服，而是佈局。沒有與美國尖端技術同步發展，就沒有先進製程的技術合作，也就不會有EUV光刻機等高端設備的出口許可。反之，若「向西進」靠攏中國，就會被納入其「大煉芯運動」的封閉體系，斷絕與全球科技鏈共舞的管道。在野黨立委的「反美論」，本質上是無視於現實處境，仍舊沉睡在褪色的大中國夢境中。

口口聲聲說「守護經濟主權」的在野黨立委，其實對產業實況毫無理解。台積電赴美設廠，固然有成本挑戰，但帶動的是整個生態系的全球布局——從材料、封裝、設備到人才，這是讓台灣半導體在國際賽局中維持主導權的關鍵。真正的國際競爭，不在於一味守著本島的廠房，而在於能否以台灣為基地，運籌全球供應鏈。

在野黨立委若真關心台積電的前景，就該思考如何在地培育更多人才、提升研發能量，而非靠著民粹喊話拉低智商門檻。面對美中科技對抗時代，台灣唯一能做的不是「拒絕美國」，而是「提升自己」，用技術與制度贏得談判籌碼。

台積電真正的挑戰，不在產業的激烈競爭，而在台灣在野黨的一再掣肘。

半導體發展一日千里，搞不懂專業技術並不丟人；但不應該不懂專業又昧於全球政經局勢，卻又叫得最大聲，只是因為立委身份。

新北市瑞芳區20日晚間發生落石車禍事故，造成2輛車子受損無法行駛，現場雙向車道一度中斷。警方與公路單位獲報後趕赴現場清理，目前正持續進行交通管制，提醒用路人行經該路段務必小心。

警方表示，事故發生於20時56分，地點在台2線82.4公里處，59歲吳姓男子駕駛營業曳引車由宜蘭往基隆方向行駛，不慎撞上落石，車輛受損無法行駛，隨後56歲謝姓男子駕駛大貨車由基隆往宜蘭方向行駛，也因未能閃避同一處落石而撞擊，導致車輛受損拋錨，雙向交通受阻。

瑞芳分局獲報後，立即派人到場警戒並管制交通，共出動3名員警維持現場秩序。公路局基隆工務段人員也在晚間9時25分抵達現場，進行落石清理作業。

title: 開賓士「撞飛老夫妻」釀1死！駕駛身分超大咖　過失致死送辦

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

台北市大同區酒泉街、迪化街二段20日上午10時許發生一起死亡車禍，一輛黑色賓士休旅車與雙載機車發生猛烈碰撞，機車上75歲黃姓男子與70歲妻子當場被撞飛，黃男送醫搶救仍宣告不治，妻子骨折受傷，目前暫無生命危險。如今休旅車駕駛的身分曝光，竟是大稻埕在地建商、某建設公司董事長。

監視器畫面顯示，當時雙載機車沿迪化街北往南行駛，準備左轉進巷弄，黑色休旅車則由酒泉街西往東直行，兩車在無號誌路口相撞，機車當場被撞飛。附近店家回憶，「聽到很大聲的『碰』一聲，出來看到阿公倒在地上沒反應，阿嬤在旁邊哭。」

肇事的72歲陳姓駕駛是大稻埕在地建商、某建設公司董事長，當時正開車準備上班。他供稱，疑似被一旁車輛遮擋視線，加上機車突然竄出，反應不及才釀禍。警方測得酒測值為0，仍依《刑法》過失致死罪將他移送法辦。

現場可見黑色休旅車車頭板金凹陷、保險桿破裂、車牌掉落，機車零件與安全帽碎裂散滿一地。附近民眾指出，該路口無紅綠燈、雨天視線差，平時車流又多，「應該設紅綠燈同步，不然太危險」。

肇事建設公司距離車禍現場僅約1公里，公司表示，事發後第一時間已前往醫院探視傷者，將全力配合警方調查並協助家屬處理後續事宜。警方也呼籲，行經交叉路口應減速慢行、保持警覺，短暫疏忽可能奪走寶貴性命。

title: 未來3天這些地區暴雨「紫紅一片」 氣象粉專：壞天氣恐持續到連假

受到風神颱風外圍環流和東北季風共伴效應影響，新竹以北、宜蘭等地發生劇烈降雨。有專家20日晚間貼出未來3天雨量預測，可以看到多地「紫紅一片」，專家直呼「很有總雨量破千的氣勢」，北部人要有壞天氣持續到光復節廉價的準備。

氣象粉專「台灣颱風論壇｜天氣特急」20日晚間分享週二（21日）至週四（23日）的雨區圖，表示最新模式的降雨模擬顯示，未來3天北部、宜花地區持續是紫紅一片，「確實很有預報總雨量破千的氣勢。即便週三過後，共伴效應逐漸褪去，但光靠東北季風的吹拂，北基宜的雨勢，仍然相當明顯，北部人要有壞天氣可能一路到連假的心理準備。」

颱風論壇接著說：「至於西半部這邊，雖然山脈已經把雲雨擋掉大半，但颱風外圍環流還是多少會影響，預計陰天偶陣雨。但無論之後降雨狀況如何，大格局上，台灣就此就進到東北季風的季節，各地不會再有前幾個星期那種酷熱，夏天已經不會回來，算是宣告初秋來到囉。」

美國總統川普20日表示，他將於明年初前往中國訪問，並預期本月稍晚在南韓與中國國家主席習近平達成貿易協議。川普還說，他認為中國不會願意承擔與美國衝突的風險而入侵台灣，並對自己與習近平的關係充滿信心。

川普在白宮接待來訪的澳洲總理艾班尼斯（Anthony Albanese）時告訴記者：「我已受邀前往中國，這趟行程大致已經排定，我會在明年初的某個時間出訪。」

法新社報導，當被問及五角大廈此前評估習近平可能以2027年為奪取台灣的目標年份時，川普回答說：「我認為我們和中國之間會沒事的。中國不想那麼做。」（I think we'll be just fine with China. China doesn't want to do that.）

談到習近平對台灣的意圖時，川普說：「這並不表示台灣不是他眼中的珍寶，因為可能確實是，但我不認為會有任何行動發生。」

川普並未明確表示是否會動用武力保衛台灣，但他強調，中國知道「美國在軍事上絕對是世界上最強大的力量」。

川普說，「我們在各方面都擁有最好的實力，沒有人敢輕舉妄動。我完全不認為習主席會有那樣的舉動。」

川普還說，「我認為我們在涉及台灣及其他問題上，都會相處融洽。」

川普和習近平將在本月底舉行的亞太經濟合作會議（APEC）南韓峰會期間會晤，這是川普第二任期以來與習近平的首次會晤。

川普表示，他的首要目標是與中國達成「公平」的貿易協議。當被問及他是否可能為此犧牲美國對台灣的支持時，他拒絕回答。

川普再次強調，「我希望與中國維持良好關係。我非常珍惜與習主席的關係，我們之間的關係很好。」

title: 高市早苗將成日本首位女首相  學弟曝她曾被學校列「需注意人物」！

content_text:
自民黨總裁高市早苗與日本維新會的兩位共同代表吉村洋文和藤田文武，20日正式簽署共組聯合政府協議，維新會決定21日臨時國會首相指名選舉把選票投給高市早苗，立場堅定挺台的高市早苗成為日本史上首位女首相已成定局。印太戰略智庫執行長矢板明夫20日深夜在社群透露自己其實是高市早苗的學弟，並曝光她求學時期的「傳說」。

矢板明夫20日深夜在臉書發文，「高市早苗畢業於松下政經塾，是我的學姐。她是第5期，我是第18期。我在學期間，她已經是眾議院議員。我和同學們曾多次到國會去拜訪她和其他國會議員前輩。當時，我們最感興趣的話題是，想從政的年輕人要做哪些事情才能夠當選。高市當時是如何回答的，已經想不起來了。但在我的印象中，她十分有自信。不管是什麼問題，都有自己的看法，能夠對答如流、侃侃而談。」

「我從其他學長那裡，聽過很多高市的傳說。學生時代的高市早苗，已經展現出強烈的個性與反骨精神。高中時期，有一次週末來到學校，因為校門緊閉，她攀爬鐵絲網進入校園，這樣大膽的行動，甚至讓她被學校記錄為『需要注意的人物』。自由奔放的性格，在她進入神戶大學後更加鮮明。剛入學時，她加入了當時以男性為主的重金屬樂團，並擔任架子鼓手。每天背著鼓棒在校園中穿梭的模樣，被同學讚為『超帥』。她後來自己回憶那段時光時笑著說，『我大學時代的目標，就是要讓我的鼓聲響徹全日本』。」

他接著說：「據當時的樂團夥伴描述，她的樂譜架上貼滿了大學課堂上所學的經營學與經濟學的筆記，連休息時間也一邊打著節拍一邊背誦供給曲線的公式。全心投入愛好和學習，後來也體現在她兼具理論與熱情的政治風格上。在大學時期，她還迷上了當時女性中相當少見的興趣，如深海潛水與騎重型機車。她報考松下政經塾時，就是騎著重型機車、夜間在高速公路上飛馳八個小時，從神戶趕到神奈川的。不懼危險、勇於追求自身興趣的態度，逐漸塑造了她後來『打破常規的女性政治家』形象。」

「高市至今還喜歡聽音樂，有時間也會敲一段架子鼓。她這樣說過，『打鼓是以毫秒為單位掌握節奏；政治也是一樣，時機與節奏就是生命』。正是青春時代的節奏，造就了她今日的政治哲學。」
