title: Global north and south need to get aligned on climate change

content_text:
If the world does not figure out how developed economies can help the rest of the planet get green together, everyone will burn

The world is experiencing a series of political, ecological, social and economic ruptures. Astonishing levels of wealth concentration and inequality have eroded development gains, accelerated social fragmentation and fueled civil unrest. According to the Indicators of Global Climate Change report, we are only three years from breaching the 1.5°C global warming limit set in the 2015 Paris climate agreement, increasing the risk of irreversible changes in planetary conditions.

These cascading crises are converging in the world economy. Insufficient climate finance from wealthy countries has led some developing countries to double down on fossil fuels. Moreover, an unfair debt system traps low-income countries in a cycle: Servicing short-term dollar-denominated loans with high interest rates prevents them from meeting development targets. Rich countries are unwilling to cooperate on stopping illicit financial flows and taxing billionaires and multinational firms, further undermining low-income countries’ ability to raise revenue.

This economic instability is inextricably linked to global democratic decline. When wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, political discontent is sure to follow, as evidenced by the surge of far-right parties in Western democracies.

Strengthening democracy is essential to tackling these crises. At the national level, citizens must be at the center of decisionmaking regarding development policies and outcomes. At the international level, multilateral institutions and processes — including the G20, the UN Climate Change Conferences, and the Bretton Woods institutions — must be democratized to regain credibility and legitimacy. They have been too slow in addressing their shortcomings, and too focused on the developed world’s interests.

Examples abound of how multilateralism has reproduced inequalities. Developed countries offer climate finance in the form of guarantees for commercial loans, which increase debt burdens rather than build resilience. Time and again in Africa, ratings agencies and the IMF’s lending requirements prevent governments from investing in inclusive growth and development. The global consensus is to pursue a private-sector-led green transition, but this approach intensifies precarity for those who contributed the least to global warming but are most vulnerable to its effects.

The decisions and actions taken in the interest of global capital have expanded the ranks of so-called “surplus people.” These populations on the margins include workers made redundant by multiple and convergent socio-technical shifts, communities displaced by mine closures and climate shocks, and households pushed into poverty by soaring food and energy prices.

So, what can be done? To answer this question, civil-society groups and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) from across the global southare tomeet with our global north allies at the People’s Summit for Global Economic Justice on the sidelines of the upcoming G20 Leaders’ Summit in Johannesburg. In keeping with the meeting’s theme — “We, the 99%” — the attendees must work together to map structural alternatives to the “societies of enmity” produced by capitalism. The goal is to develop a locally rooted but globally connected program of action for achieving economic justice.

Chief among the proposed solutions to be deliberated at the People’s Summit is a wealth tax on ultra-rich individuals and companies under the auspices of the UN Framework Convention on International Tax Cooperation. Such a tax is technically feasible and politically necessary to address the interconnected financial, sovereign-debt, and sociopolitical crises destabilizing advanced and developing economies alike.

Another important solution is scaling the availability, accessibility and affordability of public climate finance, as provided for under the Paris agreement. Given that advanced economies rely on developing countries for the commodities that fuel their industrial growth, financial and technological support must flow in the opposite direction to ensure development gains and to compensate for the extensive loss and damage caused by the escalating climate crisis.

Given that South Africa’s G20 presidency is focused on solidarity, equality and sustainability, we are approaching these structural alternatives as an ethical project of repair that reflects our shared vulnerability and views the Earth as our common home. To mitigate economic injustice and the risks it poses to our democracies, we must coordinate our voices, resources and networks to create a coherent political program that respects the planet’s boundaries and builds power from below.

However, neither this political program nor the movements that carry it forward can emerge on their own. They must be cultivated, coordinated and provided with resources. Civil and social movements must go beyond the outdated architecture of the “NGO era” and start building scaffolding for resilience. That means investing in projects that advance people’s aspirations for just and inclusive growth and development.

title: Real Madrid winners of ‘El Clasico’

content_text:
INJURIES:  Barcelona were without several regular starters, including Raphinha, Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski, while teenage star Lamine Yamal was not fully fit

Jude Bellingham’s goal on Sunday helped Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 to win a tense El Clasico and move five points clear of their bitter rivals at the top of Spanish La Liga.

Champions Barcelona won all four times the teams were pitted against each other last season, but in his first El Clasico as Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso snapped that run.

Kylian Mbappe, who later missed a penalty, fired Madrid in front, and although Fermin Lopez leveled for the visitors at the Santiago Bernabeu, Bellingham netted a second for the hosts before halftime which proved decisive.

Barca playmaker Pedri was sent off in the final stages for a second yellow card as tensions spilled over in the Spanish capital.

Madrid’s victory means they have won nine of their opening 10 league games, and Alonso’s side proved against Barca they can triumph on the big occasion, following their derby humbling by Atletico Madrid last month.

“We did what we had to do, the game plan,” Madrid midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni said. “Against Atletico we didn’t play how we wanted, and today we had another chance to show what we can do, and we have to continue like this.”

Hansi Flick’s Barca were led on the touchline by his assistant Marcus Sorg, as the German coach was suspended following a red card last weekend as they scraped a victory over relegation-battling Girona.

“The season is long, we have 28 more games, and we’re not scared about the situation now,” Sorg said after the defeat.

Barcelona were without several regular starters, including Raphinha, Robert Lewandowski and Dani Olmo, while Lamine Yamal still does not appear fully fit after a groin injury, but started.

The teenager wound up Madrid fans in the week by claiming Los Blancos “steal” and “complain,” and his name was greeted with a chorus of jeers when read out before kickoff.

Barcelona had more of the ball in the first half, but it was largely sterile possession, and Madrid created the most dangerous opportunities.

The hosts were awarded an early penalty when Yamal appeared to bring down Vinicius Junior. However, it was canceled after a video assistant referee review as it was the Brazilian who initiated the contact.

Madrid fans’ ire at the officials grew when Mbappe blasted home from outside the area, but the goal was ruled out for a millimetric offside against the French superstar.

Mbappe did not have long to wait before he could celebrate in earnest, after superb work by Bellingham sent him through on goal.

The forward, the division’s top goalscorer, netted his 11th league goal of the campaign with a lethal low finish past Wojciech Szczesny.

The goalkeeper made a good save from Dean Huijsen while Bellingham and Fede Valverde went close as Madrid took control.

Szczesny stopped efforts from Vinicius and Bellingham again, and it was against the run of play when Barcelona equalized.

Arda Guler gave away possession in a dangerous area and Marcus Rashford, playing in his first Clasico, crossed for Lopez to blast the visitors level in the 38th minute.

Bellingham struck Madrid’s second five minutes later to give Los Blancos a deserved advantage at the interval.

The England international, who scored his first goal at the Bernabeu since April in midweek against Juventus, gleefully tapped home after Eder Militao nodded Vinicius’ cross back into his path.

Madrid should have extended their lead at the start of the second half, but Szczesny made a fine save to push out Mbappe’s penalty, after Eric Garcia was penalized for handball.

Yamal, frustrated and struggling to make an impact on the game, sent a long-range shot high over the bar as Madrid closed ranks and kept the Catalans at a safe distance from their goal.

Madrid looked the more threatening in the final stages despite Barca needing to score, able to bring on Rodrygo Goes and Brahim Diaz, while Barca had little in the way of attacking reinforcements.

Sorg sent defender Ronald Araujo up front during nine minutes of stoppage time after he netted the winner as a makeshift striker against Girona, but the centerback could not trouble Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Pedri was sent off in the final seconds for a second yellow card for a late foul on Tchouameni, sparking a brief sideline shoving match, while players from both sides rowed after the final whistle.


title: Arsenal go clear after win against Palace

content_text:
Arsenal enjoyed a serene Sunday as they beat Crystal Palace 1-0 and title rivals Manchester City lost by the same margin at Aston Villa to leave the north London club four points clear at the top of the table.

Champions Liverpool’s 3-2 defeat at Brentford on Saturday gave Arsenal the chance to move seven points clear of Arne Slot’s side, and they did just that with Eberechi Eze scoring the only goal against his old club.

City were unbeaten in nine matches in all competitions since a stumbling start to the campaign, but they came unstuck at Villa Park where Matty Cash’s goal earned his side a fourth successive league win to lift them to eighth.

Tottenham Hotspur’s impressive away form continued with a 3-0 win at Everton to move them third — defender Micky van de Ven’s headed double in the first half, helping the visitors become the first side to win at Everton’s new home.

AFC Bournemouth continue to punch above their weight as a 2-0 home victory over Nottingham Forest moved them second while bottom club Wolverhampton Wanderers remain winless following a 3-2 defeat at home to promoted Burnley.

Arsenal have 22 points from nine games with Bournemouth on 18, and Tottenham and Sunderland both on 17.

At the bottom, Wolves have two points with 19th-placed West Ham United on four and Forest on five.

Eze spent five seasons at Selhurst Park before Arsenal signed him in August, and he did not celebrate when he showed great dexterity to score Arsenal’s winner in the 39th minute after yet another set-piece goal.

Gabriel headed Declan Rice’s free-kick into his path, and Eze leapt to steer a first-time finish past Dean Henderson.

“I just told the boys that I probably value this victory more than any other victory this season, because we knew the difficulty of it after playing every three days,” Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said. “It was a really positive weekend for us, especially because we did what we had to do, and then it shows the difficulty of the league, and how complicated it is to win these games.”

Pep Guardiola’s City side had begun to look dangerous after a long unbeaten run, but were brought down to size at Villa to leave them six points behind Arsenal.

The only goal arrived in the 19th minute as Emiliano Buendia’s corner picked out Cash just outside the box, and he fired with his left foot into the bottom-right corner past a helpless City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

City striker Erling Haaland, who had scored in his past 12 matches for club and country, found the net in the 90th minute, but it was ruled out due to an offside in the buildup to condemn City to a third loss in a row at Villa Park.

“Our pressing was really bad, we arrived two seconds late to every duel. When our pressing isn’t good we don’t play well,” City captain Bernardo Silva said.

Sean Dyche’s first English Premier League game in charge of Nottingham Forest ended in defeat as Bournemouth maintained their stunning start to the season.

Forest fell behind in unusual circumstances as Marcus Tavernier’s corner went straight in over keeper Matz Sels. Bournemouth’s second was more majestic as Eli Junior Kroupi lashed in a shot from 30m.

Andoni Iraola’s Bournemouth are now unbeaten in their last eight league games.

“It’s unbelievable the start of the season, but it’s just the start,” Iraola said.

Tottenham have now gained 13 points out of an available 15 away from home this season, and they showed a clinical edge at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Van de Ven became the first Tottenham defender to score two goals in a Premier League match for 12 years as he headed in twice from corner routines in the first half.

Spurs keeper Guglielmo Vicario made several fine saves in the second half before substitute Pape Matar Sarr wrapped up the points for Thomas Frank’s side.

Norris claims Mexico win, replaces Piastri as leader

Lando Norris on Sunday regained the lead in the drivers’ world championship for the first time in six months when he steered his McLaren to a commanding victory in a breathless Mexico Grand Prix.

Driving with great authority, the 25-year-old Briton came home 30.324 seconds ahead of Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc, with four-time champion Max Verstappen third for Red Bull.

For Norris, it was a first win in Mexico, his sixth this season and the 10th of his career — achieved with a near-perfect race from pole position to lift him back to the top of the drivers’ title race by one point for the first time since the Saudi Arabian race in April.

With four races remaining, Norris has 357 points, ahead of Piastri on 356 and Verstappen, who is third on 321.

“I love it,”Norris said.

“What a race. Thank you guys. I could keep focused, and my eyes forward, and it was a pretty straightforward race for me which is what I was after,” he said. “I just stayed relaxed and I had a really good launch.”

“A beautiful win to celebrate here in this stadium in Mexico,” he added.

Leclerc, who gained his seventh podium of the season, said: “I am very happy with the weekend. We didn’t know what to expect here, so to get on the podium is a nice surprise.”

For Verstappen, it ended his sparkling streak of winning three of the past four races.

“It was very hectic at the start, and I almost crashed out. To be fighting for P2 with all that happened — a strong race for me,” Verstappen said.

Haas teenage rookie Oliver Bearman was a career best fourth ahead of Norris’ McLaren teammate and previously runaway series leader Oscar Piastri, and Mercedes’ young rookie Kimi Antonelli.

The Italian’s teammate George Russell was seventh ahead of seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton in the second Ferrari, Esteban Ocon in the second Haas and Sauber’s Gabriel Bortoleto.


title: Boateng cancels Bayern plans following backlash

content_text:
Retired defender Jerome Boateng on Saturday pulled out of a planned coaching internship at Bayern Munich after fans voiced their objection due to the FIFA 2014 World Cup winner being found guilty of assaulting a former girlfriend last year.

The former Bayern and Germany defender, who played for the club between 2011 and 2021, had discussed a short internship with coach Vincent Kompany.

“Following the recent discussion regarding myself, I have decided to focus on my issues such as the A training license.... That is where my focus is,” he said in a social media post addressed to Bayern and Kompany. “Your focus should be solely on the pitch and on extending this 13-match winning run,” he said.

Bayern on Saturday beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 3-0 to bag their 13th win from 13 matches across all competitions this season.

“I am thankful to the club leadership and you, dear Vincent, for giving me trust and the opportunity to be part of that,” Boateng said.

Bayern fans had opposed his planned internship after the player was handed a suspended fine and a warning last year by a Munich court which found him guilty of premeditated bodily harm against his former partner.

An online petition, headlined: “Setting borders against misogynistic violence: Jerome Boateng should not be allowed back to Bayern Munich,” had collected several thousand signatures.

Last year’s trial was the third in the bodily harm case.

The 37-year-old Boateng, who made 76 appearances for Germany between 2009 and 2018, spent 10 years at Bayern after joining in 2011 from Manchester City where he had been a teammate of Kompany. He helped Bayern win nine Bundesliga titles and two UEFA Champions League trophies.

Boateng retired last month, last featuring for Austrian side LASK Linz where his contract was terminated by mutual consent in August.


title: Vladimir Kramnik files complaint over online threats

content_text:
Former world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik has asked Swiss authorities to investigate threatening messages posted online since the sudden death of US grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, according to a copy of the filing seen by Reuters on Sunday.

Kramnik, who raised questions about possible cheating by Naroditsky and other players last year, is facing disciplinary proceedings over public attacks on the American, a popular streamer and commentator who died earlier this month aged 29. The cause of his death has not been disclosed.

In a nine-page complaint submitted to the Geneva public prosecutor on Saturday, Kramnik said he and his family had received “hundreds of terrifying private messages and public comments” on social media, many of them calling for his death or urging him to take his own life.

He also received death threats via e-mail.

The filing by the Russian-born grandmaster, who has lived in Switzerland for several years, called for an investigation to be opened into the threatening messages and also asked for police protection.

The filing does not name any suspects, but cites numerous threatening and abusive messages posted on X since Oct. 19, the day Naroditsky was found dead in North Carolina.

Naroditsky’s death prompted an outpouring of grief and an ethics review by the International Chess Federation (FIDE) into Kramnik’s months-long online campaign hinting at cheating by top players, including Naroditsky, during Internet events.

Naroditsky’s name appeared on a list published by Kramnik last year of players showing unusually low blunder rates in the final seconds of online games.

Kramnik has denied accusing Naroditsky personally of cheating, saying his remarks were “reasoned questions” based on statistical analysis.

The data he cited came from the Titled Tuesday competition hosted on the chess.com platform last year, which Kramnik labeled “Cheating Tuesday.”

In his final stream on Twitch on Oct. 17, Naroditsky, who finished ninth in the over-the-board blitz world championship, spoke about the “lingering effect” of Kramnik’s allegations.

Naroditsky denied any wrongdoing.

In his complaint to prosecutors, Kramnik said news headlines linking him to Naroditsky’s death were “deeply damaging to my honor.”

FIDE declined to comment on Kramnik’s filing.

Top players, including world No. 1 Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura, have condemned Kramnik’s repeated insinuations against fellow competitors.

Yani Tseng claims first title in over a decade at 2025 Wistron Ladies Open

Former LPGA world No. 1 Yani Tseng (曾雅妮) ended her title drought of more than 10 years by winning the 2025 Wistron Ladies Open on Sunday.

The Taiwanese veteran lifted the trophy at Sunrise Golf & Country Club in Taoyuan, finishing 14 under par with a total of 130 strokes over two rounds, edging out 107 competitors for her first professional championship since 2014.

The tournament, co-sanctioned by the Taiwan Ladies Professional Golf Association (TLPGA) and the Ladies European Tour (LET), was reduced to a 36-hole format with no cut due to inclement weather.

"I finally got a taste of what a championship is like," Tseng said at the 18th green after clinching the emotional victory at home, unable to hold back tears as fellow competitors doused her with water in celebration.

The win on home soil marked the 15-time LPGA Tour champion’s first professional title since the 2014 Taifong Ladies Open in Taiwan, concluding an odyssey that included two hip surgeries, swing adjustments, and a coaching change. In 2024, she even switched her putting hand from right to left in a bid to regain top form.

"I have thought about whether I would stand on the podium again every single day over the past decade," she said, sobbing at the award ceremony. "No matter what lows or difficulties you face, you can keep trying and not give up, just as I did. All bad things will pass."

Now 36, Tseng launched her professional career in 2007 and captured her maiden major victory at the 2008 McDonald’s LPGA Championship at age 18, becoming the first Taiwanese golfer to win an LPGA major title.

By 2012, she had claimed five major LPGA titles and spent 109 weeks at No. 1 in the world rankings. Her dominance helped bring the LPGA Tour to Taiwan for the first time in 2011, where Tseng won the tournament in front of more than 60,000 spectators over four days.

Doubts arose after she failed to win any LPGA Tour events in 2013 and 2014.

On Sunday, Tseng finished the suspended first round with a three-shot lead, but was briefly overtaken by Amelia Garvey of New Zealand. Tseng regained the lead by pulling off five consecutive birdies from the ninth to the 13th holeand held on to the finish.

The title saw Tseng earn the US$200,000 first prize. Garvey finished 10 under par in second place, followed by Ireland’s Lauren Walsh at 9 under.

"I wasn’t sure the scoreboard was correct until the end because I hadn’t been in this position for so long," Tseng said. "I was somewhat off rhythm and a little nervous at the start. I’m really thankful for everyone’s support in helping me achieve this today."

Although Sunday’s turnout was only around 2,000, Tseng told CNA the title was a "huge step" that greatly boosted her confidence and keeps her going. "I’ve waited for over 10 years, I believe things will get better," she said.

"The sun also rises tomorrow. Give yourself hope, and good things will come to us once again," she added.

MOVING FORWARD:  The president promised to continue on the reform path with what he predicted would be ‘the most reformist Congress in Argentina’s history’

Argentine President Javier Milei on Sunday hailed his party’s runaway victory in midterm elections as a “turning point” for the country, and vowed to charge ahead with his agenda of shrinking the state and deregulating the economy.

Milei’s small La Libertad Avanza (LLA) party rebounded from a series of setbacks to win 40.84 percent of the vote cast for members of Congress, far outpacing the opposition in an election closely watched by jittery investors.

“Today we reached a turning point, today begins the construction of a great Argentina,” the 55-year-old president told supporters at a victory party in Buenos Aires.

He promised to continue on the reform path with what he predicted would be “the most reformist Congress in Argentina’s history.”

US President Donald Trump, a close ally, congratulated Milei and said his Argentine counterpart was doing a “wonderful job.”

Half of the seats in the Chamber of Deputies and one-third of the Senate seats were up for grabs on Sunday.

Milei said the LLA had more than tripled its seat count, winning 101 seats in the lower house Chamber of Deputies, up from 37, and 20 seats in the Senate, up from six.

The center-left Peronist movement, in power for much of Argentina’s post-war history, trailed in second place with 31.64 percent.

“Far more Argentines want to move forward than go backwards,” Milei said on the demise of the opposition.

The elections were the first national test of Milei’s support since he won office two years ago on a promise to revive the long-ailing Argentine economy through a series of painful reforms.

The buildup to the vote was marked by a run on the national currency, the peso, that forced Milei to seek a bailout from Trump.

Washington promised an unprecedented US$40 billion package of aid, but the assistance came with a warning from Trump to Argentines that he would not “be generous” if the election did not go Milei’s way.

At the LLA election party, hundreds of Milei’s supporters celebrated the results with cheers, hugs, chants and even tears.

“I’m very happy and excited; I didn’t expect such a large number,” said Facundo Campos, a 38-year-old marketing consultant, comparing the joy to the “last goal of the last World Cup won by Argentina.”

Maria Jesus Galan, a 45-year-old health official, said that while there “some room for improvement” in Milei’s government, “it has a great future.”

Ahead of the election, several Milei voters had spoken about their disappointment with his leadership, particularly the corruption scandals involving members of his inner circle, but they remained viscerally opposed to the Peronist movement, whose figurehead, former Argentine president Cristina Kirchner, is under house arrest after being convicted of corruption.

At 67.9 percent, turnout was the lowest in a national election in four decades, reflecting disillusionment with the entire political class.

The most surprising results were in Buenos Aires Province, a Peronist stronghold, where the LLA clawed its way back from a defeat by the Peronists in last month’s local elections to a toss-up.

Adriana Cotoneo, a 69-year-old pensioner voting in Buenos Aires, said that she backed Milei’s party “not because I believe it’s the best option, but because I’m clear about who I want to be gone.”

Former TV pundit Milei has cut tens of thousands of public-sector jobs, frozen public works, cut spending on health, education and pensions, and led a major deregulation drive since taking office in December 2023.

His reforms were blamed for initially plunging millions of Argentines deeper into poverty, but they did slow inflation by two-thirds — to the relief of many — although at the expense of faltering economic growth, consumption and manufacturing.

Investors began dumping the Argentine peso last month amid concerns over the economy and support for Milei, but Trump stepped in to shore up his closest Latin American ally.

The US Treasury has intervened several times in the market, buying pesos to help keep it afloat.

Expectations were high that the government could depreciate or devalue the peso, widely seen as too strong, immediately after the vote, but questioned about the possibility on Sunday, Argentine Minister of Economy Luis Caputo replied with an emphatic: “No.”

MILITARY TENSIONS:  Anthony Albanese said his seventh meeting with Li showed that Australia and China could manage their differences through dialogue

China and Australia yesterday sought to keep ties on an even keel, despite tensions over military encounters in the South China Sea and rivalry in the Asia-Pacific region, with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese describing both sides as “friends.”

China is ready to build a more stable and strategic partnership with Australia, Chinese Premier Li Qiang (李強) told Albanese on the sidelines of a Southeast Asian summit in Malaysia, Xinhua news agency reported.

Albanese visited China in July to mend ties that had been strained to near breaking point under the previous Australian administration, vowing to keep communication channels open and look for areas of cooperation while guarding against “misunderstanding.”

China-Australia relations at present are showing a positive trend, Li told Albanese in their meeting in Kuala Lumpur, Xinhua reported.

Last week, both sides traded barbs over an encounter between their militaries in the South China Sea, most of which is claimed by Beijing as part of its territory.

Australia said a Chinese fighter jet dropped flares near one of its patrol planes, prompting Beijing to complain that Canberra was trying to cover up an “intrusion” into Chinese airspace.

“I made the position directly clear that this was an incident of concern for Australia,” Albanese told reporters after his meeting with Li.

Australia in February also criticized the actions of a Chinese fighter jet as “unsafe and unprofessional,” saying it had dropped flares within 30m of a maritime patrol plane, also in the South China Sea.

China has been deepening its influence over Pacific Island nations through trade and diplomacy.

Beijing in 2022 inked a security deal with the Solomon Islands, and a year later it signed a policing agreement. This month, Australia signed a defense cooperation deal with Papua New Guinea that observers say is aimed at countering China’s growing security presence in the region.

Despite the rivalry and military incidents, economic ties have remained stable, with both nations repeatedly calling for free trade and further dialogue.

China is willing to work with Australia in the green economy, high-tech industries and the digital sector, Li told Albanese, the Xinhua report said.

Albanese said his seventh meeting with Li showed Australia and China, its largest trading partner, could manage their differences through dialogue.

“We have disagreements and friends are able to discuss issues frankly — I did that,” he said.

title: Sudan’s RSF claims control of Darfur

content_text:
Sudan’s paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on Sunday said that it had seized full control of El Fasher, the last major city in the expansive Darfur region not in its hands, in a potential turning point in the nation’s unrelenting civil war.

The announcement came just hours after it claimed to have captured the army’s main base in the city, which it has besieged since May last year.

The group in a statement said that it had “extended control over the city of El Fasher from the grip of mercenaries and militias,” referring to the Sudanese army, with which it has been in a brutal war since April 2023.

Tom Fletcher, head of the UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, called for safe passage for civilians trapped in the fighting.

Access to the region remains extremely limited due to the intense fighting.

Local pro-army fighters called the Popular Resistance accused the RSF earlier on Sunday of running a “media disinformation campaign” to weaken morale.

They insisted that residents were still “resisting in the face of terrorist militias.”

The local resistance group said the targeted infantry division, the Sixth Division, was “just empty buildings,” with the army now based in “more fortified positions.”

Since August, the RSF has intensified artillery and drone attacks on El Fasher, eroding the army’s last defensive lines after about 18 months of siege. RSF videos on Sunday appeared to show fighters celebrating beside a sign marked “Sixth Infantry Division,” while footage from across Darfur purportedly showed crowds celebrating alongside RSF fighters.

If confirmed, the capture of the city would mark a major turning point in Sudan’s two-year war, which has killed tens of thousands and displaced nearly 12 million people.

It would bring all five state capitals in Sudan’s western Darfur region under RSF control, consolidating its established parallel administration in Nyala.

Analysts have warned this could effectively partition Sudan, with the army holding the north, east and center, and the RSF dominating Darfur and parts of the south.

If the RSF had won territorial control in Darfur that would strengthen its claims of being a credible government, Cameron Hudson of the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies said.

The RSF in a statement said that it was committed to providing “safe corridors for all those who wish to move to other locations, as well as the necessary protection for all those in the city.”

Later on Sunday, Fletcher in a statement said: “With fighters pushing further into the city and escape routes cut off, hundreds of thousands of civilians are trapped and terrified — shelled, starving, and without access to food, healthcare, or safety.”

“Civilians must be allowed safe passage and be able to access aid,” he said.

He also called for an immediate ceasefire in El Fasher, across Darfur and throughout Sudan.

US senior adviser for Africa Massad Boulos also called on the paramilitary group to open “humanitarian corridors” to allow civilians to evacuate.

About 260,000 civilians, half of them children, remain trapped in El Fasher without aid or food.

Four UN agencies on Thursday last week said that thousands of malnourished children were at “imminent risk of death” amid the collapse of health services.

Reports of killings, sexual violence and forced recruitment were mounting daily, they added.

The UN last month voiced alarm over potential massacres targeting non-Arab communities in El Fasher, similar to those reported after the RSF captured the nearby Zamzam camp in April.

“This is the worst-case scenario for civilians,” Hudson said, adding that the RSF was likely to keep abusing civilians and targeting anyone seen as loyal to the army.

Despite repeated international appeals, the two sides, both of whom have been accused of committing atrocities, have ignored calls for a ceasefire.

Representatives from the US, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates met in Washington on Friday last week to try to plan a path toward “peace and stability in Sudan,” and a transition to civilian rule, according to an earlier statement by Boulos.

US military exercises in Trinidad and Tobago a ‘provocation,’ Venezuela says

Venezuela on Sunday blasted the arrival in nearby Trinidad and Tobago of a US warship as a dangerous “provocation,” amid mounting fears of potential attacks against the Venezuelan mainland.

The USS Gravely, a guided missile destroyer, docked on Sunday in the Trinidadian capital, Port of Spain, for a four-day visit, which would include joint training with local defense forces.

The ship’s arrival comes amid a mounting military campaign by US President Donald Trump against alleged drug-traffickers in Latin America, which has largely targeted Venezuelans and so far been limited to deadly strikes in international waters.

Trump has increasingly threatened to take the campaign on land, while Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro claims Washington is plotting his ouster.

Trinidad and Tobago, which is situated just 11km from the Venezuelan coast at its closest point, has sided with Washington against its neighbor.

Venezuela angrily denounced “the military provocation of Trinidad and Tobago, in coordination with the CIA, aimed at provoking a war in the Caribbean.”

Caracas added that it had arrested “a group of mercenaries” with links to the CIA, days after Trump said that he had authorized covert CIA operations against Venezuela.

Maduro’s government claimed the alleged mercenaries were mounting a “false flag attack” aimed at provoking a full-blown war, without giving details.

Venezuela regularly claims to have arrested US-backed mercenaries working to destabilize Maduro’s administration.

The USS Gravely is one of several warships Washington deployed to the Caribbean in August as part of an anti-drugs campaign that Venezuela sees as a front for trying to topple Maduro, whose re-election Washington rejects as fraudulent.

Tensions escalated sharply on Friday last week when the Pentagon also ordered the deployment of the world’s biggest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, to the region.

US forces have blown up at least 10 boats they claimed were smuggling narcotics, killing at least 43 people, since last month.

The standoff has pulled in Colombian President Gustavo Petro, a sharp critic of the US strikes who was sanctioned by Washington on Friday last week for allegedly allowing drug production to flourish.

Caracas has accused Trinidad and Tobago, a twin-island nation of 1.4 million people whose Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar is fiercely critical of Maduro, of serving as “a US aircraft carrier.”

Trinidad and Tobago said the visit of the USS Gravely “aims to bolster the fight against transnational crime, and build resilience through training, humanitarian activities and security cooperation.”

Trinidad and Tobago values its relationship “with the people of Venezuela” and remains committed to “the creation of a safer, stronger and more prosperous region,” a government statement said.

In Port of Spain, some people welcomed the government’s show of support for Trump’s campaign, but others worried about getting caught up in a regional conflict.

“If anything should happen with Venezuela and America, we as people who live on the outskirts of it ... could end up getting a lash any time,” 64-year-old Daniel Holder said.

“I am against my country being part of this,” he said.

Victor Rojas, a 38-year-old carpenter who has been living in Trinidad and Tobago for the past eight years, said he was worried for his family back home.

“Venezuela is not in a position to weather an attack right now,” he said, referring to the nation’s economic collapse under Maduro.

A US military helicopter and fighter jet on Sunday crashed in the South China Sea, with the incidents occurring about 30 minutes apart and coinciding with a visit to Asia by US President Donald Trump.

A Sea Hawk helicopter went down at about 2:45pm on Sunday “while conducting routine operations from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz,” the US Navy said in a post on social media.

A US Navy official said no details on the location of the carrier would be provided due to operational security.

Then at about 3:15pm an F/A-18F Super Hornet also crashed, the US Navy said yesterday, adding that all five people involved in the accidents were safe and investigations were under way.

It remained unclear where the incidents occurred and no details had been released about the suspected causes of the incidents.

The carrier strike group was in the South China Sea on the final leg of its deployment before heading back to the US west coast, according to US Naval Institute News, which tracks carrier groups.

The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Beijing opposes the US military presence in the South China Sea, saying thta it destabilizes the region.

China claims nearly the entire area, where it has built numerous artificial islands. Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines, Brunei and Malaysia also claim parts of the sea and have sparred with Beijing over where the boundaries fall.

Four people were killed in clashes between security forces and supporters of a Cameroonian opposition leader who claims to have won the presidential election, authorities said ahead of the announcement of official results yesterday.

Issa Tchiroma, who challenged Cameroonian President Paul Biya’s 43-year grip on power in the Oct. 12 ballot, had called on his supporters to march peacefully on the eve of the announcement, despite a ban on public gatherings.

Tchiroma said that he won 54.8 percent of the vote, but most analysts expect the 92-year-old Biya to win an eighth term in a system his critics say has been increasingly rigged.

In Cameroon’s largest city, Douala, the regional governor said demonstrators “attacked” a gendarmerie brigade and police stations in two districts on Sunday.

“Four people unfortunately lost their lives,” Samuel Dieudonne Ivaha Diboua said, adding that several members of the security forces were also injured.

Protesters at the scene showed journalists bullet casings they said they collected after security forces fired shots near the gendarmerie.

The shooting with “live ammunition” began after a volley of tear gas, a demonstrator said on condition of anonymity.

“They fired, three people, three bodies fell in front of us,” he said.

Earlier on Sunday, police had fired teargas to disperse hundreds of people in Tchiroma’s northern stronghold of Garoua, where activists carried Cameroonian flags and banners reading: “Tchiroma 2025” and chanted “Goodbye Paul Biya, Tchiroma is coming.”

For several days, dozens of supporters have gathered around the home of the opposition leader, who on Sunday claimed in a video that military personnel had tried to take him away.

In the capital, Yaounde, the call to protest did not seem to have been followed amid a heavy police presence, but in Douala, prior to the reported clashes, a journalist observed several dozen people gathered near the airport, defying the ban on demonstrations ordered by the department’s prefect.

On Friday last week, two opposition figures from a coalition that had endorsed Tchiroma as a candidate were arrested in their homes in Douala, the coalition said.

They are Djeukam Tchameni, president of the Movement for Democracy and Interdependence in Cameroon, and Anicet Ekane, president of the African Movement for the New Independence of Cameroon.

It is known as ‘the silent killer’ because many people suffer from high blood pressure without even being aware of it. Here is where your numbers should be, and how to change them for the better

The older you get, and the more obsessed with your health, the more it feels as if life comes down to numbers: how many more years you can expect; your lean body mass; your percentage of visceral fat; how dense your bones are; how many kilos you can squat; how long you can deadhang; how often you still do it; your levels of LDL and HDL cholesterol; your resting heart rate; your overnight blood oxygen level; how quickly you can run; how many steps you do in a day; how many hours you sleep; how fast you are shrinking; how often you get up to pee.

I say you, of course, but what I mean is me. I fixate on all those things and more. Do you want to know my vascular age as calculated by my smart scales? I will tell you. The point is that some of these numbers matter more than others. And one that definitely belongs in the you-should-give-a-toss column is blood pressure (BP).

If this gets too high for too long, the strain will weaken and narrow your arteries and other blood vessels, damage your internal organs and encourage blockages, bulging, bleeding and bursts. Next stop, heart attack or heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, vision problems or dementia. And unless you measure your blood pressure, you may not know it’s a problem. That’s why it’s often described as a silent killer.

Low pressure is no joke either. But because it will make you dizzy and possibly even faint, you’re more likely to realize something’s up.

NUMBERS GAME

Now 62, I’ve had high blood pressure, AKA hypertension, since at least my early 50s — probably much longer given that alcohol, stress and excess weight are risk factors and I spent half of my life as a worried, bloated drunk. So I take medicine every day — one little capsule of ramipril, originally 5mg and now 2.5mg. This is an unremarkable sort of dose: the most that’s usually prescribed is 10mg.

That’s right: numbers again. And there’s more where those came from. Such as: hypertension is responsible for more than 10 million deaths a year. Globally, according to the WHO, there are almost 1.4 billion adults with it, and more than 600 million are not getting treatment, either because they don’t know they need it or they don’t want it. This killer is not just silent but ignored.

In the developed world at least, no one can say this is because it’s difficult to get a test. In the UK, every doctor’s surgery and pharmacy will have at least one sphygmomanometer. No one calls it that, of course — it’s just a “blood pressure monitor” — and you’ll know one when you see one: a cuff that wraps around your upper arm, connected by a tube to a machine that inflates it and takes your reading, usually throwing in your pulse at the same time.

Testing takes about 10 minutes if it’s done properly (which it often isn’t — but more about that later). You will get your results immediately.

What do those results mean, though? So long as everything’s broadly OK, you may not get much of an explanation. This is probably because doctors and practice nurses have tried to explain it in the past and seen patients’ eyes glaze over. This stuff is important but also dull. Still, here are the basics.

WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?

Blood pressure is always expressed as two numbers: systolic pressure, or the force exerted within your arteries as the heart is contracting to pump blood round your body, and diastolic, or the pressure recorded while it is relaxing and filling. Systolic is higher than diastolic (obvious, when you think about it) and always listed first; the two numbers are separated by a slash in writing (115/75, say), or by “over” in speech (“115 over 75”).

There is some fuzziness about what constitutes ideal blood pressure, with the range varying slightly from country to country. In the UK, the NHS defines “normal” or “healthy” BP as between 90/60 at the low end and 120/80 at the high. “Slightly raised” BP (sometimes known as “high normal” or “elevated”) ranges from 121/81 to 134/84 and “high” BP starts at 135/85. This is the point at which your doctor is likely to offer you medication or give you a serious talk about your lifestyle.

If it hits 180/120 you are, if you’ll excuse the medical jargon, in deep shit. This is hypertensive crisis territory, AKA severe hypertension. At the very least, you should get straight on the phone to your doctor. If you’re also experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, breathlessness or confusion, head to the emergency.

Let’s back up a bit, though. Remember I said that high BP starts at 135/85? That’s if you’re measuring it at home. In a medical setting, it begins at 140/90 to allow for the so-called “white coat effect” — the tendency of readings to be higher because they are in a stressful context or (though this is less often acknowledged) rushed.

Ideally, you should have been sitting peacefully for five minutes before your blood pressure is taken, with your feet on the ground, your back supported and your forearm resting on something like a table, so it’s about heart-high. Once the cuff is placed around your upper arm, it should be inflated three times, and a reading taken each time. The first reading should be discarded, then the other two averaged to give a final result.

Is it really worth it? Let’s put it this way. My blood pressure mostly hovers just over or under the 120/80 level. As I was having my photo taken for this article, with a sphygmomanometer lying around, I thought I’d take a quick reading. No time to relax, poor posture, a reasonable amount of stress … bish bosh. My systolic pressure was well over 150.

‘BODY SCAN’

And it’s not the most hardcore approach to measurement. I went for an extremely thorough “body scan” at Neko Health, a Swedish-British company that specializes in preventive healthcare. As well as having my moles checked, my cholesterol measured, my grip tested etc, I was fitted with not one but four pressure cuffs – one on each arm and leg. Sam Rodgers, Neko’s lead doctor for the UK, explains that this is partly meant for repeat users, so Neko can track how the blood supply to each limb changes over time. But he started out as an NHS GP, and still works as one. “Ideally,” he says, “you would be looking at the blood pressure in both arms to see if there’s any significant difference, then taking the reading from the arm with the higher reading so you don’t miss any cases of high blood pressure.”

So what figures should you be aiming for? Just because doctors are only likely to intervene once you pass 135/85 or 140/90, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try to get below 120/80. Pre-hypertension, as the zone between “normal” and “high” is sometimes called, is not entirely without risk, and obviously this increases as your pressure rises. Rodgers compares the concept to “pre-diabetes,” where doctors increasingly recognize the value of early intervention. Some countries, such as the US, take a more aggressive approach than the UK.

Don’t forget that blood pressure fluctuates, adds Sabine Donnai, a consultant and the founder of the London longevity clinic Viavi. Not only does it typically dip at night, but it can spike as a result of stress, exercise and other factors. The lower your base level, Donnai says, the less dangerous those spikes are likely to be: “Ideally we want systolic pressure to be anything between 100 and 120.”

“Your blood pressure is not high all the time,” is how she puts it. “You go to your GP or the pharmacy and your blood pressure is absolutely fine. Then, just after some caffeine or alcohol or stress — or excitement even – suddenly your blood pressure shoots up. That’s when you could get a stroke or a heart attack.”

What with the spikes and everything, I’d like to lower my BP a little. Maybe I could even reach a point where I don’t need medication? When I suggest the possibility to Rodgers, however, he smiles and says he’s a little jealous of me. As well as reducing the likelihood of heart attacks and strokes, he says, “Ace inhibitors” such as ramipril can protect the kidneys. This goes beyond simply countering the damage done by hypertension.

Either way, lifestyle changes can definitely reduce BP. For a start, if you smoke or drink, you should give up or at least cut down. I don’t do either — so no room for improvement there. If you’re overweight or have obesity, losing weight may also reduce hypertension. But here again, my wriggle room feels limited. At 1.77 meters and 80kg, I already weigh 30kg less than I once did.

And in any case, all this advice is terribly generic. It’s the stuff you should already be doing if you want a long, healthy, happy life.

SALT

Salt is less widely discussed.

“Everyone was sort of politely ignoring it until recently,” says Rodgers. “And that includes doctors. We weren’t great at asking patients about it. And most of us oversalt our food, or have a lot of salty packaged or restaurant food. If you’ve got a high intake of salt and you reduce it, you can achieve a 5mmHg to 10mmHg drop in blood pressure.”

The usual advice is for adults to have no more than 6g of salt a day, or about a level teaspoon. This includes the salt that’s already in processed food and the salt added during and after cooking.

I thought I might make some headway here. Then I tracked my diet for a week, including every single pack of crisps and Mini Cheddar. Most days I’m already under 6g.

STRESS

Stress seems more promising. Alongside the ambulatory blood pressure monitor, Wreaves fitted me with a sensor to measure my heart rate variability, often used as a guide to fitness and resilience. The idea was to get some insights into my nervous system, especially the balance between the sympathetic side, which governs the body’s fight-or-flight response, and the parasympathetic, or rest-and-digest.

After 72 hours of monitoring, Donnai was not impressed.

“You’re stuck in a sympathetic drive throughout the day,” she tells me. In other words, my body is focusing on fight or flight. “You might think that’s normal because you’re at work and you’re busy. But even in the evening and the night, when you’re supposed to be relaxing, there’s very little recovery. It seems to me that you don’t have enough calm in there. Your system doesn’t recognise when it needs to switch off. There is a lot of stress that is uncompensated for.”

How to fix that? Donnai recommends meditation, yoga and breathwork. I already do all of this, but I obviously need to try harder — without, you know, stressing about it.

And maybe there’s more mileage to be squeezed out of exercise. I recently stumbled across a research project called Isofitter, looking at the potential benefits of isometric exercise, where you simply hold a fixed body position for a short time. This was previously found to be more effective at lowering blood pressure than aerobic exercise, resistance training and high-intensity interval training.

Jim Wiles of Canterbury Christ Church University, who’s helping to lead Isofitter, worked on a similar project in 2018. In “pre-hypertensives or high normals,” he says, this lowered systolic pressure by 12mmHg and diastolic by 6mmHg. That sounds massive, I tell him, and he doesn’t contradict me.

The classic isometric exercise is the plank, but Isofitter is using the wall squat, where you just stand with your back to a wall and sink down until your hips and knees are bent. “Many people find the exercise easy to do,” the Website insists, “even those that are not very fit.”

Here are 10 ways to stave off colds and the flu — or bounce back if it’s already too late

As the weather cools, along come colds, the flu and a plethora of other bugs, often transmitted through public transport or small children. And then there are the mental health challenges associated with this time of year. How can you avoid spending the next few months feeling unwell? Here, experts give their

TAKE CARE OF FUNDAMENTALS

“Winter is a tricky time,” says Dr Babak Ashrafi, who works for Superdrug and is based in London. “Short days, chilly air and a lot of time spent indoors with other people and their germs. My advice is to think of health as a three-legged stool: sleep, nutrition and movement. If one leg gets wobbly, the whole thing will tip over.”

“People often wonder if there is something they can take, or something different they can do, to stay healthy over winter,” adds Dr Helen Salisbury. “Really it is a question of doing the same things that you might do the rest of the year: exercise, sleep, eat healthily and try not to consume too much alcohol.”

GET THE JAB

The advice is to take up vaccinations if they are offered to you. “On the NHS, the flu jab is free for over-65s, people with long-term health conditions (such as asthma or diabetes), pregnant women, and children in certain age groups,” says Ashrafi. “The COVID booster eligibility changes each year depending on government guidance, but the principle is the same: protecting the most vulnerable.” He adds: “If you’re not eligible, I’d say it is well worth paying for a private flu jab.”

PRACTICE BASIC HYGEINE

Always remember the basics, especially when there are more germs in circulation, says Dr Fari Ahmad: “Wash your hands if you have been in contact with somebody or when you are eating food. Masks are still around and sometimes they can help stop you spreading germs and people spreading to you.”

EAT WITH IMMUNITY IN MIND

“Think of food as fuel and defense,” says Ashrafi. “You want foods that keep you energized and support your immune system. Protein from eggs, fish, lean meat, pulses and nuts is essential for repair. Bright fruit and veg are packed with antioxidants and vitamins that fight off infection. Complex carbs such as oats, brown rice and sweet potatoes release energy slowly, avoiding blood sugar dips that leave you sluggish. And don’t forget healthy fats like olive oil, avocado and oily fish – they are brilliant for heart and brain health.”

MANAGE COLD AND FLU SYMPTOMS

There isn’t really a lot you can do to treat winter bugs.

“Most are caused by viruses, and we don’t have any specific medicines to make them go away — we can treat the symptoms but not the cause,” says Salisbury.

Ashrafi suggests the best way to ride them out is through hydration, rest and managing symptoms. For a cold, he recommends “paracetamol or ibuprofen to bring down fever and ease aches, honey and lemon to soothe a sore throat and saline sprays or steam inhalation to help unblock sinuses.”

Flu can be more extreme, he adds.

“If you have muscle aches, fever and exhaustion, assume it is flu and give yourself proper recovery time. Most people feel better in a week, but don’t rush back to work if you’re still unwell. You’ll just prolong it.”

“A really bad sore throat is one of the features of the current variant of COVID, so consider testing for that,” says Salisbury.

HAVE MEDICINES ON HAND

When you are ill, it is miserable having to trek out to get supplies.

“Make sure your medicine cupboard is stocked with paracetamol and ibuprofen, if you can take it,” says Ahmad.

“There are nasal sprays, some of which provide a gel covering inside your nose, and others which kind of wash it out,” says Salisbury. “There is some evidence that if you use those in winter, particularly when you have been in the company of someone who has clearly got a virus, that can reduce your chances of getting that virus yourself. ”

Some medicines may not be worth buying, Salisbury says: “Cough medicines don’t really work. However, painkillers such as ibuprofen and paracetamol are good for a sore throat, and gargling with soluble versions of these can be helpful.”

PRIORITIZE MENTAL HEALTH

Many can relate to the symptoms of seasonal affective disorder (Sad) but the condition is not clear-cut, says Salisbury: “Is it the light, or is it the fact that you’re getting less exercise because you’re stuck at home as it is dark outside? Is it because there is less going on and less fun out there? We really don’t know whether it is the season itself, and the actual light levels, or everything that is associated with winter, like being that bit colder and having possibly less opportunity to socialise. Sad definitely exists but it is a complicated mix.”

However, there is no doubt that “winter can take a toll on mood”, says Ashrafi. “The trick is to build structure and joy into your days. Get outside every day, even for 10 minutes of daylight. And try to keep your sleep routine steady; oversleeping can actually make you more fatigued.”

DON’T SPREAD GERMS

Cover your mouth when coughing or, even better, stay home if you are ill.

“If you do have a cold or the flu, be careful not to pass it to other people,” says Salisbury. “You are more likely to get these things if you’re in crowded places with lots of people coughing, because that is how they get passed on. A well-fitting mask will reduce your chance of getting or passing on viruses, but beyond that, there isn’t a specific thing you can do to protect yourself. It is a matter of luck.”

MOVE YOUR BODY

There can be less inclination to exercise in the winter, says Ahmad, but it is essential that you fit it into your routine.

“Do something you love: dancing, Zumba, cycling — whatever it is that you enjoy. If you struggle with the weather and going outdoors, is there something you can do indoors? Can you switch to swimming in the winter and leave jogging for the summer? Find the activity that you’re able to do without it feeling like a burden. If you’re going with friends, or you’re attending an exercise class, sometimes that is more manageable.”

DON’T OVERDO THE BOOZE

During festive party season “it is quite easy to get in the habit of drinking too much alcohol,” Salisbury says. “Think about the low-alcohol or no-alcohol alternatives. The change in the past few years has been amazing with what is out there.”

If you do go overboard, you risk getting run-down, says Salisbury: “Alcohol and sleep deprivation will make you more prone to infection, along with the damage caused by smoky environments. Whether you are smoking yourself or are just in a smoky atmosphere, it can make your lungs more vulnerable.”

桃園市議會定期大會27日進行智慧城鄉發展委員會工作報告，市議員謝美英針對市民卡APP整合、票證數位化等議題提出質詢，並以上周桃園發生桃園客運司機質疑學生上車投幣不足額，司機和學生發生口角並毆打學生的社會事件，點出市民卡APP搭公車的迫切性。

謝美英說，上周桃園發生桃園客運司機質疑學生上車投幣不足額，另名學生聲援同學，結果和司機發生口角，最後遭司機毆打，事後有很多人提到搭公車被懷疑「投幣不足」的不快經驗。

謝美英提到，桃園市長張善政有「科技市長」美名，上任後也將研究發展考核委員會跟資訊科技局合併為智發會，率全國之先，以委員會體制高度扛起智慧城市跨局處協調責任，但很可惜目前很多都還沒整合。

以市民搭公車為例，卻靠司機目視投幣狀況，連辨別技術都沒有，無法投幣後直接判斷金額，如何能保障司機、保障乘客！謝美英強調，智發會必須加把勁，讓桃園市民卡APP能擴大交通與觀光整合，並真正落實推動「票證數位化」，做到「一票到底」的交通體驗。

記者楊淑媛／桃園報導

桃園市政府自辦的首條捷運綠線工程，因週刊爆出為趕工，在GC03標工程出現未按圖說施工等情事，繼捷運工程局27日提出7點澄清後，承包商互助營造晚間也發出澄清稿指出，週刊報導指陳該公司承攬桃園捷運綠線GC03土木建築標有「未按圖說施工」、「採購停權廠商商品」及「違法使用中國建材」均屬曲解之不實報導。

互助營造表示，該公司承攬之桃園捷運綠線GC03土木建築標為規模龐大之統包工程，不同於一般傳統工程，係採設計併施工之模式進行，所有相關設計及施工依合約均需經捷運局審核通過後始得施作，合先敘明。

▲互助營造澄清說明。（圖／擷取自互助營造網站）

針對週刊報導地磚溝縫寬度10(mm)毫米不符規範之質疑，純係地磚規範遭誤解所致。GC03標地磚施工規範規定為不得小於3mm或大於10mm，實際設計圖之施工縫標記為10mm，本公司現場施作亦為10mm，查無未按圖說施工之事實。

另就報導停權廠商精工陶瓷係於民國113年4月22日因他案受公告自113年4月23日起停權3年，不能參與政府採購投標。本公司就該商品早於民國112年11月間完成採購簽約，捷運局亦於該公司停權公告前已完成審查在案，且依據工程會之政府採購法常見問題Q&A第十八點說明，該廠商就已得標或已簽約之案件仍得繼續履約，因此本公司並無任何違法情事。

再者，關於報載使用中國建材部分，對於前經核定之石材，實際上於原石合法依「臺灣地區與大陸地區貿易許可辦法」進口台灣後，尚須經加工製造始能使用於桃園捷運工程，該加工後之附加價值率達35%以上，依據「進口貨物原產地認定標準」之規定，已非屬中國建材，且本公司為免認定上之疑慮，已主動更換為國內廠商，誠亦無違法使用中國建材之情況。

記者游瓊華／雲林報導

雲林縣政府27日舉行「114年度雲林縣海洋污染緊急應變及中區水體聯防暨毒性化學物質複合式演練」，首次採用無腳本沉浸式演練，逼真模擬惡劣海象下的應變行動，場面震撼。結合中區水體聯防、毒性化學物質應變、救生救難及港區污染事故處置等多重情境，考驗各單位在實戰條件下的協作效率與現場指揮能力。

麥寮港是全國首座「生態工業港」，港區環境保護工作格外重要，一旦發生污染物洩漏，不僅影響海洋生態，更是沿海居民關注焦點。此次演練以「地震引發污染事故」為主軸，整合中區水體聯防體系（包含苗栗縣、台中市、南投縣及彰化縣環保局），展現跨縣市聯防合作能量。

今日在麥寮工業港北堤海域演練中，導入最新科技應變設備，無人機升空掌握污染範圍，無人船精準布設吸油棉索，並結合環保艦隊與民間志工協力布設攔油索。從空拍監測、海面封鎖到污染回收，流程一氣呵成，展現出公私協力的精密分工。

這場「無腳本演練」打破傳統演練流程，不預設任何狀況，由現場指揮官依即時狀況下達指令，逼真還原災害現場應變過程。船艦在風浪中搖晃、救生艇搶灘、隊員布設吸油索時仍得與浪搏鬥，真實展現海上作業的困難度。

雲林縣環境保護局長張喬維表示，演練過程中各單位反應迅速、協調順暢，從模擬地震通報、污染調查、攔油索布設到回收作業，每一個環節都精準到位。「這不只是演練，更是一場行動檢驗，讓所有參與者都在真實的挑戰中學習與成長。」

張喬維指出，透過跨縣市聯防、環保單位、港區業者與民間志工的聯手參與，整合資源、人力與技術，打造更具韌性的防災網絡。透過複合型情境的模擬，不僅驗證了即時處置能力，也強化了各單位的協調、訓練與裝備維護，全面提升雲林縣面對海洋污染的應變力。

記者高堂堯／南投報導

南投縣政府計畫於名間鄉興建垃圾焚化爐，興建期程與後續對環境的影響持續引發地方居民和民意代表關切；縣長許淑華今天重申，會依法規和嚴謹態度做最審慎評估與把關，而縣府估計焚化爐未來每年約有1億元回饋金，將交由鄉公所研擬相關發放機制。

南投縣議會27日召開第20屆第6次定期會縣政總質詢，多位縣議員關心名間垃圾焚化爐的興建；許淑華表示，不論是民間業者申請或是縣府自辦的重大開發案件，縣府都絕對依法辦理各項行政程序，對興建焚化爐後對產業的影響、污染防治與回饋機制等面向，也一定會做到最嚴謹的把關，並持續說明溝通並公開資訊，讓更多民眾了解。

今天會中另有縣議員關心焚化爐興建後的地方回饋金或敦親睦鄰費議題，縣府環保局長李易書表示，初估每年約有1億元的回饋金，會交由鄉公所處理，並成立回饋機制監督小組來研商相關回饋機制與現金發放辦法。

此外，有民間業者申請在埔里設置事業廢棄物掩埋場一案同樣引發縣議員關心，許淑華強調，該民間業者依法提出申請設立，須完成一定的申請程序，目前業者申請的項目內容為瓷磚、土石等一般建築事業廢棄物，並非垃圾掩埋場，縣府同樣會依法審慎處理、嚴格把關審查，請民眾放心。

李易書表示，目前該業者已提出興辦事業計畫書做土地變更的申請，環保局已依縣議員的質詢重點，正在會辦相關的中央單位確認其相關內容，10月底會把中央各部會的會辦意見回覆給該申請業者，請其正式做回應；另外在環境影響評估部分，業者也已提出申請，縣府會依《環評法》的程序來辦理公聽會。

記者王真魚／綜合報導

中信兄弟在中華職棒總冠軍賽以1勝4敗不敵樂天桃猿，挑戰二連霸失利，兄弟領隊劉志威賽後代表球團出面受訪，首先表達對對手的祝賀，也談及團隊在漫長球季中的努力與未來方向。

劉志威表示，「首先當然是很恭喜樂天。辜董事長（辜仲諒）特別請我代表向樂天致意。佩服他們在賽季後半段放手一搏，以很好的團隊表現拿下今年總冠軍。」

他也轉述董事長向球員的勉勵，「這是一整年的賽季，大家都盡了全力，球賽本來就有輸有贏。但整個團隊展現出的韌性，董事長也給予肯定與鼓勵。」

他進一步指出，今年球季對球隊而言相當艱辛，「從球季一開始就有各種情況，但我們努力維持團隊穩定。總冠軍賽是短期決戰，最後比的就是誰能拿出最好的內容。樂天在這一點上表現得相當好。我們會在來年努力，把今年沒做到的任務好好檢討、進步，希望明年帶給球迷與公司更好的內容與表現。」

談到總教練平野惠一的執教表現，劉領隊直言，球團肯定他長期規劃的眼光，「平野一直將球隊中長期發展放在很前面的順位，這點我們絕對支持。維持球隊在前段班並不容易，他也把很多棒球觀念帶給教練和球員。」

他指出，接下來團隊也會持續努力，讓教練的理念更能在球場上具體執行，「我們考慮的不只是總冠軍，而是整體台灣棒球的進步。」

至於明年是否仍由平野執掌兵符，他回應，「我們才剛剛打完，不適合在這個時間點說太多。但團隊想持續進步的心態不會改變。」

樂天桃猿洋投威能帝在中華職棒總冠軍賽奪下系列賽MVP，封王夜現場氣氛沸騰。當主持人問他「明年還要不要留在 樂天桃猿」時，全場瞬間陷入瘋狂。威能帝先是大笑回應「I don’t know」，副領隊礒江厚綺立刻嗨喊：「一定要的！來來來，誰可以印合約書，趕快拿過來！」讓球迷歡聲雷動，高喊「續約！續約！」

回顧從2023年加盟至今的心路歷程，威能帝感性地說，「謝謝大家進場支持我們。2023年我們沒做到，但現在我們是冠軍了！」

被問到為何能從12強一路強到總冠軍戰，他笑回，「這是上帝的祝福，我只是盡全力做到最好，也很開心能和這支球隊一起。」

主持人追問：「明年還要不要留在樂天桃猿？」全場立刻沸騰。威能帝先是大笑，隨後直言，「I don’t know, I don’t know.（我不知道哈哈哈！」」

主持人立刻將麥克風轉向副領隊礒江厚綺，他嗨喊，「一定要的！來來來，誰可以印合約書，趕快拿過來！」現場球迷歡聲雷動，高喊「續約！續約！」

翻譯也分享了一段小插曲，「其實今天賽前，他就跟我說，如果球隊有需要，他願意再上場！」全場再度爆出「威能帝！威能帝！」英雄式呼喊。

這位洋投連兩年扛下先發重任，今年更以壓制力率隊封王，拿下系列賽MVP，也用真誠與拚勁贏得球迷與球團的心。續約話題，就在封王夜被炒熱到最高點。

記者楊舒帆／綜合報導

樂天桃猿在中華職棒總冠軍賽奪下接手後首冠，游擊手馬傑森順利趕在明天入伍「開開心心去當兵」。他在賽後也對球迷大聲承諾，「我明年會打出生涯首轟！」

受到天候影響，系列戰延後4天，讓原本役期時間「避開賽事」的他，剛好遇上G5成為入伍前最後一戰，成為史上首見封王隔天入伍的球員。

馬傑森賽前就說，「本來以為28號根本不會打到這邊，沒想到延到最後一天。今天又有機會（封王），希望球隊可以順利拿下冠軍，讓我開開心心去當兵。」

收到兵單後，馬傑森曾詢問是否能申請延後，但因時間太趕，只能依規定報到。「這是國家的政策，也是我們的義務，單子下來就要準時報到，遵守法規。」

他預計28日清晨7、8點出發前往花蓮北埔報到，役期四個月，明年2月歸隊，「冬天當兵天氣不會太熱，算是幸運。」

問他是否擔心錯過總冠軍賽，馬傑森堅定說，「不會，我始終相信他們。球隊從淘汰賽開始，就一直展現出很不可思議的表現，所以我一直都相信他們。」

他坦言，賽前既緊張又興奮，「教練團有特別說，希望大家可以讓我開開心心地去當兵，我覺得學長們也都有做到。」在G5延長賽11局上，林泓育敲出致勝2分砲，他正好是下一棒，「他打出去的時候我就覺得『哇！有了！』壓力整個都釋放了，真的太厲害！」

賽後主持人與球迷起鬨幫他「剃頭」，全場隨後高喊「首轟！首轟！」，他也爽快答應，「我明年會打出生涯首轟！」

▲《反美陰謀》被HBO拍成迷你影集，台譯《美國外史》。(圖／HBO提供)

文／朱錦華

美籍猶太裔作家菲利普·羅斯(Philip Roth)，譽滿國際文壇、著作等身。他可能是散發出最強烈猶太人色彩的美國作家。他的作品經常以生長地紐澤西州紐瓦克為背景、有強烈的自傳性質，而且談的都猶太人的問題。例如他的成名作《波特諾伊的怨訴》(Portnoy's Complaint,1969)，說的是一名來自猶太家庭的單身男子飽受性問題困擾、並且終日耽溺於自慰的故事。

羅斯始終最關心、作品中一直探索的，是猶太人與美國人之間的身分認同、以及猶太人在美國該如何自處的問題。例如他著名作品《人性污點》(The Human Stain,2003)，身分是大學教授的男主角柯爾曼被兩名非裔學生指控種族歧視。弔詭的是後來揭露：柯爾曼實際上是膚色較淺的非裔美國人、卻一直冒稱自己是猶太白人！羅斯的另一部代表作《美國牧歌》(American Pastoral,1997)，說的是美國社會從1960年代起產生激烈變化的衝擊下，一個猶太人家庭如何解體的故事。

▲菲利普·羅斯攝於1957年。（圖／公共版權照片）

羅斯非常擔心猶太人在美國的處境會變壞（他年少時，美國的反猶風氣依然存在）。有強烈「猶太人受迫害妄想症候」的他，甚至擔心希特勒對猶太人的大屠殺，會在美國重演！於是他寫了一本「虛構歷史小說」（或稱反事實小說）：《反美陰謀》(The Plot Against America,2004)。

故事描述1940年美國總統大選時，親納粹的候選人：駕駛單引擎飛機、成為完成不著陸橫跨大西洋飛行第一人的「飛天英雄」林白(Charles Lindbergh)，擊敗爭取第三任期的羅斯福，當選總統。接下來林白採取孤立主義：不加入歐戰、跟希特勒簽署友好條約，並且帶領美國走向法西斯主義：美國猶太人開始遭到迫害……。

▲羅斯作品有強烈的自傳色彩。《反美陰謀》故事中的小兒子(圖左)，名字也叫菲利普。(圖／HBO提供)

書名《反美陰謀》，指的並非法西斯主義者企圖顛覆美國，而是指抵抗美國走向法西斯主義的行動，才是被政府指控的反美陰謀！這本小說在2020年時被HBO拍成6集的迷你影集，台灣譯名是《美國外史》。

羅斯本人已於2018年辭世。他無法看到自己的警告或預言有否成真。弔詭的是，他的預言的確成真了，只不過是以一種變軌的方式。他始料不及的是：美國的確有越來越走向法西斯國家的跡象。然而猶太人非但沒有遭到迫害、反而是一個挺猶太人的總統（他的女婿也是猶太人），全力打壓反以色列的挺巴勒斯坦活動。

▲美劇《反美陰謀》(或譯美國外史)的女主角：薇諾娜瑞德。（圖／HBO提供）

更讓羅斯料想不到的是：他的精神祖國：以色列，已經變成了他筆下的極權國家。只不過，受迫害和被屠殺者，卻從猶太人變成了巴勒斯坦人！

無論是瑪格麗特·愛特伍(Margaret Atwood)的《使女的故事》(The Handmaid's Tale)、還是羅斯的《反美陰謀》，都不約而同的預言美國會變成一個極權國家。難道這只是純粹的巧合？

▲他娶妻答應「給168萬聘金」婚後卻裝死，9年後岳父怒告，下場悲劇了。（示意圖／取自免費圖庫Pexels）

記者趙蔡州／綜合報導

一名男子小明（化名）2015年迎娶妻子時，跟妻子的家人簽署協議，同意支付168萬元聘金，其中18萬元先支付，餘額則分期每月2000元支付，但他婚後卻不履行協議，9年後岳父決定提告。法院審理後，認定協議有效，判處小明須立刻支付19萬6千元，且今年7月起須每月支付2000元至2078年10月止。

根據判決書指出，事件起源於2015年，小明迎娶妻子時，向岳父小華（化名）表明願支付168萬元聘金，不過雙方考量小明的經濟能力後，雙方決定簽訂書面契約，小明結婚時須先支付18萬元聘金，剩餘款項則以每月5日支付2千元的方式分期給付，直至付清為止。

然而，小明婚後卻未依協議履行分期付款，導致岳父提起強制履行訴訟，要求小明給付未支付的款項及遲延利息，且考量小明未來仍無法如期給付，亦提起將來給付之訴。

小明則辯稱，他當時遭到小華「刁難婚禮」才被迫簽協議，認為這份協議已違反公序良俗，應為無效，且雙方協議也約定禮金應全部由男方收領，但婚禮當天岳父卻擅自拿走禮金，導致協議條件未達成，故無履行協議義務。

法院審理後，認為我國傳統習俗，男女婚嫁時，男方給予聘金屬於一般社會禮俗，並非並非屬不法或社會不能容忍之行為，至於禮金部分，小華簽約時就說「聘金歸聘金、禮金歸禮金」，協議中也未提到禮金，足見小華根本未同意「禮金應全部由男方收領」作為小明履行協議的條件。

法院審酌後，判處小明須立即支付小華19萬6千元及遲延利息，並自2025年7月起至2078年10月止，必須按月支付2千元，全案判決可上訴。

title: 76歲港星許紹雄病危「佘詩曼聞訊哽咽」　最新狀況曝光

記者王靖淳／綜合報導

香港資深藝人、有「Benz雄」之稱的許紹雄，今（27）日驚傳病危入院，至今尚未清醒。消息曝光後，立刻震驚演藝圈，同時也在網路上掀起討論。其中，女星佘詩曼在出席活動被媒體問到許紹雄的病況時，一度哽咽泛淚。

根據《香港01》報導，現年76歲的許紹雄在演藝圈打滾超過半世紀，以其精湛的演技與親和的形象，深受觀眾喜愛。如今突然傳出病危消息，不僅讓大批粉絲在網路上為他集氣祈福，稍早女星佘詩曼在出席活動被問及前輩病況時，更是當場數度哽咽。她坦言知情許紹雄的病情，原訂要飛北京工作的她，更臨時決定取消行程，將立刻趕往醫院探望對方。

此前，港星林峯、吳卓羲也都紛紛抵達醫院探視。當被媒體問到許紹雄清醒與否時，吳卓羲只是沉重地搖頭，並未多做說明，似乎暗示對方目前的情況並不樂觀。據悉，許紹雄的家族在廣州是第一望族，他的祖先許拜庭，是廣州四大鹽商之首；太公許應騤更被慈禧太后認作乾兒子。而許紹雄的父親，則是經營金舖，讓他自小便衣食無憂。早年許紹雄剛出道時，雖然收入不豐，但已是開著賓士車上下班，因此獲得了「Benz雄」的稱號。

樂天桃猿在台灣大賽G5擊敗中信兄弟，拿下隊史首座中華職棒總冠軍。總教練古久保健二賽後難掩激動情緒，直呼「就像夢一樣！」他也與球員一同享受香檳浴慶祝時刻，而在場邊，兄弟總教練平野惠一特地上前與他握手相擁，畫面令人動容。

古久保賽後受訪表示：「真的，就像夢一樣。這是一場激烈的打擊戰，我們一度落後3分，當時氣氛相當凝重，但球員們沒有放棄，很快追回比數。小胖（林泓育）那支兩分砲成為勝負關鍵，真的很感謝每一位選手展現出的執念與拼勁，把比賽黏住，一路拚到最後。」

回顧球隊從第二輪挑戰賽一路逆襲、最終登頂，古久保認為關鍵在於全隊的堅持與努力，「我們從開季四連敗開始，一步步打回來。上半季回到五成勝率，最後拿到全年第三名晉級季後賽。其實沒有哪一場是特別關鍵，是每一位球員的努力讓我們走到今天，沒有他們，就沒有這個結果。」

這是古久保個人第三度打進總冠軍戰，但卻是他在台灣首度奪冠。他感性地說：「這不只是我的榮耀，而是所有參與球隊的人共同完成的成果。我要感謝球團、行政、贊助商，還有今天在洲際球場應援的所有球迷，真的非常感謝。」

被問到球隊能多次在一分差與逆轉戰中取勝的關鍵，古久保毫不猶豫地歸功於投手群，「從先發到牛棚，大家整季表現都非常穩定。尤其是中繼與後援，在關鍵時刻守住比賽，讓我們更有韌性，也能在逆境中贏下每一場勝利。」

軍聞社／記者王進福彰化26日電

國軍「陸勝1號操演」第2日，陸軍裝甲542旅掩護部隊在中彰地區與機步234旅掩護部隊遭遇，542旅派出工兵部隊與心戰部隊進行敵阻絕設施排除及心戰喊話，確保旅南進任務遂行。

542旅聯兵3營任掩護部隊上午前推至臺中地區，遭遇234旅掩護部隊設置蛇腹型鐵絲網及鋼刺蝟等阻絕設施，企圖阻止甲軍向南推進。工兵連工3排接獲狀況後，隨即抵達任務地區，針對敵阻絕設施採取「爆破排除」，秉「迅速、優先」原則，設置TNT炸藥及應急式破壞筒予以破壞，成功達成工兵「促進我軍機動」之目標。

此外，陸軍第36化學兵群煙幕連下午則配合機步234旅聯兵3營戰術行動，實施M56渦輪發煙車發煙作業。官兵依戰術構想進入指定地區展開作業，透過高濃度煙幕有效遮蔽戰場視線，成功掩護第一戰鬥隊完成轉進任務，展現化兵部隊支援聯兵作戰的即時應處與作戰協同能力。

曾豪駒2023年接掌樂天兵符，卻在台灣大賽失利，今年他與總教練古久保健二攜手合作，終於在這一夜登上王座。賽後，他忍不住落下男兒淚，「很感動，對於這一段真的很感動。大家努力了很久，之前不斷失敗，今年終於挑戰成功。」

他強調，這一座冠軍來自所有人的努力與信任，「要感謝每一位球員，大家不斷努力讓自己變好，最後得到這個結果。也感謝公司和總教練的信任，大家一起完成這一步。」

回想2023年，曾豪駒坦言，「那次真的很可惜，這次終於成功了。人就是要從不斷的失敗中學習，慢慢學習怎麼成功，這就是最感動的一場比賽，也是球迷最想看到的畫面。」

這次樂天從挑戰賽背水一戰擊敗統一7-ELEVEn獅，再於總冠軍戰擊退年度第一的中信兄弟，完成逆襲封王，成為「下剋上」成功的球隊。

談到關鍵，曾豪駒說，「我覺得是『凝聚力』。不管是統一或兄弟，都是很好的對手。要走到最後一步，必須要全隊團結。我們一整季遇到很多事情，但大家一起克服，把專注力放在球場上。外面的事情我們無法決定，我們能做的就是把自己的本分做到最好。」曾豪駒最後感動地說，「謝謝，真的很謝謝大家。」

牧野上任領隊的第一個球季，就親眼見證球隊從外界不被看好、從挑戰賽一路打進總冠軍戰，最終高舉金盃。

樂天自接手桃猿後歷經多年耕耘，牧野也感性地回應這段旅程的意義。他說：「我們自己、球員都經歷過辛苦的時刻，但最重要的是球迷。我想對大家說，真的讓你們久等了。」他特別感謝「10號隊友」多年來不離不棄的支持，「今天終於能夠用一座冠軍回報他們。」

談到球隊的特質與克服一路不被看好的關鍵，牧野認為是「團結」與「互相成就」。他強調，「這支球隊最大的特色，就是學長帶學弟，不管是教練、選手、學長或學弟，大家都能互相激勵、互相提升。這是一個讓彼此變得更強的環境。」

他也特別提到球員在幕後的努力，「他們每天都很扎實地練習，把原本不擅長的地方變成自己的優勢，這是選手、教練團、總教練一起努力的成果。」

從挑戰賽一路走來，牧野場場親臨，不只在球場邊，也選擇與球迷站在一起，穿上黑衣，在觀眾席揮旗吶喊，融入應援團氣氛。他說，這樣的支持不只是身為領隊的責任，更是一種信念，「球迷和球隊，是一起走到這裡的。」

被問到奪冠後是否會實現球員「再烤一次肉」的心願時，牧野笑著說，「當然會，我們早就準備好了！」可以和球隊報帳嗎？他也笑回，「當然，我們是有準備的！」

記者楊舒帆／台南報導

中信盃黑豹旗離島球隊馬公高中今年再度以單一球隊出征，首戰以14比0在6局提前扣倒西松高中，旗開得勝。

馬公由堂兄弟檔洪翊家、洪子晏聯手完封對手。洪翊家先發5局僅被敲3支安打，送出8次三振、無失分；洪子晏後援1局，也飆出2次三振、無失分。打線方面，章平猛打賞貢獻1打點、3得分，洪翊家雙安2打點、2得分，攻守俱佳。

洪翊家透露，自己國小曾打過科班，國中階段未再接觸棒球，去年才加入球隊，「剛回來打球時覺得很懷念。」他對首戰表現表示滿意：「有投進好球帶，算符合預期。」談到與堂弟搭檔，他笑說：「這其實是我們常見的模式，我投不好的時候，就換他上。」

去年馬公高中與澎湖海事組成聯隊，今年則恢復單一出征。總教練蔡亦炘指出：「現在想打球的學生越來越多，分開成隊可以讓更多人參與比賽，聯隊反而會限制出賽機會。」

今年馬公高中共有16名球員，並有馬公國中科班畢業的新生加入，讓有經驗的球員帶領學弟磨合。蔡教練認為，投手群是勝利關鍵，「堂兄弟都有科班底子，明天對北科附工是很難得的挑戰，希望他們享受比賽，說不定還能對上未來職棒潛力股。」洪翊家則笑說：「希望不要被觸身球打中，那應該會很痛！」

記者楊舒帆／綜合報導

樂天桃猿在延長賽中擊敗中信兄弟，以9比7奪下中華職棒總冠軍賽系列戰勝利，封王成功。系列賽MVP由威能帝奪下，樂天優秀球員為成晉，中信兄弟則由韋禮加獲選優秀球員。本場G5單場MVP頒給轟出致勝2分砲的林泓育。

總冠軍第5戰樂天與兄弟打出激烈攻防，雙方互有領先，9局打完戰成7比7平手。11局上，林泓育從鄭浩均手中轟出2分砲，將比數超前，也為球隊奪冠埋下決勝伏筆。這是林泓育在今年台灣大賽首次擊出全壘打，也是樂天奪冠的關鍵一擊。

林泓育在系列戰前3場未先發，直到G4、G5才進入先發陣容，卻在最關鍵的時刻扮演致勝功臣。除了本場11局的關鍵一擊，他在首局也敲出適時安打為球隊先馳得點，攻守俱佳，成為最終戰的最大亮點之一。

系列戰MVP威能帝兩戰先發共投13局，防禦率僅1.38，壓制對手火力。G2、G4的穩定先發成為球隊奪冠基石。成晉則以.556的打擊率在5場比賽敲出10支安打，是攻勢推進的重要角色，獲選樂天優秀球員。韋禮加則為兄弟苦撐10.2局，防禦率0.84，穩定壓制樂天打線，拿下中信優秀球員。

比賽中雙方火力全開，兄弟首局先以詹子賢高飛犧牲打與陳俊秀的安打攻下3分，樂天則在2局追平。中信靠著對方失誤重新超前，樂天一路緊咬，8局梁家榮陽春砲與滿壘攻勢追平比數，雙方鏖戰至延長賽。11局林泓育的全壘打成為勝負分水嶺，也為球隊拋下封王彩蛋。

樂天今年歷經風雨，在季後賽展現強大凝聚力，終於捧起球團隊史首座總冠軍獎盃，為球團寫下歷史新頁。

title: 挺過食安風波！樂天桃猿睽違6年封王　隊史第8冠聯盟第二多

記者楊舒帆／綜合報導

樂天桃猿拿下2020年接手後球團史首冠，隊史則是第8冠，聯盟排名第二多，次於統一與兄弟並列的10冠紀錄。前一次封王為2019年，拿下睽違6年的冠軍。

▲▼2025中職台灣大賽G5，林泓育敲出致勝全壘打。（圖／記者李毓康攝）

樂天桃猿於2025年挺過重大食安風波。4月期間，媒體報導指出球團更換廚房人員後改為以外燴或便當供應，讓球員伙食品質大幅下降。8月2日更有週刊揭露，一道「鱸魚豆腐」餐點內竟發現死蒼蠅及活蛆，球員透露此情況讓人震驚。事件爆發後，球團快速啟動改善措施，也獲得多位球員善意回應，對外表示已感受到伙食改善。

不僅如此，本季桃猿還傳出轉賣傳聞，例行賽期間各種風波一一挺過，林泓育8月中數度哽咽喊話球迷，「希望球迷繼續支持我們，別放棄我們。」此後也打出一波氣勢，帶動團隊凝聚力。隨著球季進行，樂天桃猿下半季保持競爭力，以全年排名第三取得季後挑戰賽資格。面對統一獅在0勝2敗的絕對劣勢下，上演3連勝驚奇逆轉秀，拿到台灣大賽門票。

▲▼2025中職台灣大賽G5，樂天桃猿擊退黃衫軍拿下總冠軍。（圖／記者李毓康攝）

台灣大賽前兩戰，桃猿以優異的投手與守備表現，在投手戰中分別以3比0、2比1勝出。雖然G3火力停歇以0比2落敗，不過因北部下雨導致桃猿主場無法使用，兩隊協商將G4延後到26日，也讓投手群獲得充分休息，滿血回歸。G4威能帝繳出好投，陳晨威驚天一轟率隊以3比1獲勝，取得聽牌優勢。最後再靠林泓育展現韌性，延長賽兩分砲逆轉封王。

桃猿憑藉季後賽期間三次烤肉凝聚團隊向心力，林泓育、林立展現領袖氣質，從季後挑戰賽到台灣大賽一路緊咬對手，此戰重返榮耀，奪得球團史首冠。

林立。（記者廖耀東攝）

〔記者徐正揚／台中報導〕林立今年接任樂天桃猿隊長，帶領球隊從不被看好一路「下剋上」，拿到隊史第8個總冠軍，他認為，跟以前拿過的總冠軍比，這次真的很不容易，至於被認為凝聚士氣的團隊烤肉，他認真地說：「既然拿到總冠軍，我們一定會烤肉！」

林立指出，球隊今年一直不是很順利，上下半季都有傷兵、球員能力這些相同的問題，也都有「前面打得不錯，中間出現落差」的情形，換個角度來看，很高興一開始就遇到很多問題，既然提早遇到，就可以提早面對。

林立表示，樂天今年拿到全年戰績第3名，季後挑戰賽雖從落後開始打起，球隊卻有破繭而出的感覺，「很多人都不看好我們，我們不能控制別人的想法，能做的就是贏球，只要進入名單的每個人，都用最好的能力去面對，不光只是小胖（林泓育），這是大家一起努力打下來的。」

林立認為，林泓育以前當隊長時，他就在旁邊仔細觀察，今年球隊讓他接任隊長，他也常找林泓育聊，很多想法因為當上隊長而有不同，很高興帶領球隊拿到總冠軍，「樂天的文化就是學長帶學弟、學弟問學長，我們有很多學長，其實不太需要隊長。」

樂天從季後挑戰賽到台灣大賽，在主場桃園舉辦3次團隊烤肉，被認為是凝聚團隊士氣的關鍵之一，陳晨威昨天就希望，如果真的奪冠，全隊能再烤一次肉，林立說：「一定會的，大家放心，一定會讓大家知道，我們有在烤肉，我們不是突然想做，而是一開始就要這麼做，怎麼開始就怎麼結束。」

〔記者徐正揚／台中報導〕樂天桃猿能在今年台灣大賽以4勝1敗拿下隊史第8個總冠軍，關鍵點之一是老將林智平在季後挑戰賽第4戰9局上的追平3分彈，他感觸良多地表示，剛進職棒就渴望成為有英雄命的選手，有點佩服自己都40歲了還能做到。

林智平指出，總冠軍一直是團隊渴望的目標，即便從季後挑戰賽打起，一直面臨「輸就淘汰」的局面，大家都沒有想很多，一切就自然發生，「球隊今年有很多負面的聲音，可能是大家的信念，很想要把負面轉成正面，雖然過程還蠻艱難的，但是大家最後真的做到了。」

回想那發石破天驚的全壘打，林智平表示，剛進職棒的第1年，就很渴望像學長們一樣，成為有英雄命的選手，卻不知道他可以做到，「今年對我是很意外的一年，以前也不會有這種表現，那一天真的讓我等很久了，感謝沒有放棄自己的自己，我真的準備滿久的。」

title: 慘了！北捷驚見民眾做「這件事」  最重可罰100萬！

content_text:
台北一名網友近日在捷運站撞見一名女子使用室內消防栓的緊急插座充電，拍下PO網後掀起議論，還釣出北捷人員回應，表示此舉最重可罰100萬！

一名女網友26日在Threads上PO照，表示她在三重國小站看到一名女子在捷運站內擅自打開消防栓的緊急插座幫手機充電，見到這一幕的原PO忍不住驚呼：「補兌（不對）？這裡是可以拿來充電的嗎？」

該貼文曝光後引起熱烈討論，「這是偷電行為，報警處理」、「明明捷運站有提供給旅客充電的地方……」、「知道消防栓裡面可以充電的人，會不知道這個是不能拿來這樣用的？」、「希望po文同時原po已通報站員，不要姑息這種行為」、「這種要叫警察」。

該貼文下方也釣出北捷新聞組留言，「台北捷運公司說明：消防栓箱緊急電源專供消防人員救災時使用，非救災占用或損壞，將直接影響救災行動，此為嚴重的違規行為。旅客未經許可擅自使用車站緊急插座，違反大眾捷運法第50條之1第1項第2款規定，任意操控站、車設備或妨礙行車、電力或安全系統設備正常運作，可處1萬元以上、100萬元以下罰鍰，本公司將追查行為人開罰。」

「本公司將持續加強巡檢，全線車站詢問處附近已設有免費充電區可使用，呼籲旅客勿使用車站其他用電插座，以免觸法及影響系統安全。」

英媒披露，與中港有關的資金在英國持有價值超過1900億英鎊的資產，使北京得以對包括中國新建大使館在內的政治角力施加影響力。（彭博檔案照）

英國《泰晤士報》（The Times）週日版披露，與中國（含香港）有關的資金在英國持有價值超過1900億英鎊（約7.7兆台幣）的資產，數量超過440項，其中與北京政府有關的實體，持有資產價值約513億英鎊（約2兆台幣），使其得以干預包括中國新建大使館在內的政治決策。

此外，中資也涉足英國關鍵基礎設施，包括歐洲最繁忙的倫敦希斯羅機場（Heathrow Airport）、英國規模最大的「泰晤士水公司」（Thames Water），以及英國首屈一指的大學住宿開發商UPP、數十家私立學校、足球隊、高爾夫球俱樂部，還有跑車和電動車品牌Lotus（蓮花汽車）等。

報導指出，前述資產數量和金額可能被低估，因為中國相關人士可憑藉其他國籍入股或成立公司，中港資金也可透過複雜的持股和跨國投資結構，掩飾其背景；活躍於英國市場、背後有中港資的大型企業，也未必將稅籍設於英國。

據報導，中港資在英國的住家和商用不動產市場十分活躍，包括持有數座被視為倫敦地標的摩天大樓。中資經營的旅館至少有3家被英國內政部徵用，收容申請難民庇護的外籍人士，為中方帶來至少1500萬英鎊（約6.1億台幣）收入。

其中，有2家難民旅館是由倫敦資產管理公司Kew Green經營、分別位於英格蘭南部肯特郡（Kent）和北部柴郡（Cheshire）的假日飯店（Holiday Inn），而Kew Green的所有權可溯及中國國有企業「中國旅遊集團」（CTG）。另外1家旅館則位於威爾斯首府卡地夫（Cardiff），所有權可溯及中國國企「錦江國際集團」。

在關鍵基礎設施方面，中港資持股項目包括倫敦希斯羅機場、泰晤士水公司、「辛克利角C」（Hinkley Point C）核電廠、英國最大天然氣配送網Cadent Gas、蘇格蘭最大離岸風電場之一Inch Cape Offshore，以及英國境內至少其他7座離岸和岸上風電場。

此外，中資也涉足總部位於倫敦和盧森堡的物流地產公司Logicor；總部位於倫敦、業務廣及歐洲和亞太地區的大型資料運算中心營運商Global Switch；英國前3大行動網路營運商VodafoneThree；以及殼牌（Shell）石油、英國石油（BP）、礦業巨頭力拓集團（Rio Tinto）、製藥大廠阿斯特捷利康（AstraZeneca）等。

報導指出，2017年已被中國國企「中國投資公司」（CIC）收購的Logicor，在歐洲16個國家擁有倉儲物流設施，在關鍵交通運輸節點和人口稠密處持有或經營開發不動產，總計超過600處，還有近180個配發中心。

中國資金對英國的政治影響力，以及中國政府與民間資金之間的模糊界線，近年來日益引發關注。例如，中國爭取在英國皇家鑄幣廠舊址，興建歐洲最大規模新使館，卻因國家安全等因素遲遲未獲英國官方核准。持有英國鋼鐵公司（British Steel）的中企「敬業集團」聲稱，一旦倫敦當局放行新使館建案，願意取消對英國政府索賠10億英鎊。

〔記者吳昇儒、林嘉東／新北報導〕昇發財168號今（27）日下午前往新北市石門區外海作業時，船艙突然起火燃燒，船上8名船員跳船求生。所幸周邊友船昇發財66號將落海船員救起，海巡隊也派遣2艘巡防艇前往協助救援，預計將落海人員送往八斗子漁港，起火原因則待進一步釐清。

基隆漁業電台下午4時許，接獲通報指出位於石門外海作業的昇發財168號機艙於下午2時許起火燃燒，經船員緊急搶救無效後，船上人員決定棄船逃生。

船上共有1名我國籍船員、1名菲律賓籍船員與6名印尼籍船員共8人，穿著救生衣跳入海中待援。所幸附近作業的友船昇發財66號獲報後，趕往現場，將8人救起，預計28日上午返回八斗子漁港。

海巡署接獲通報後，也派遣PP10098、PP10090兩艘巡防艇前往現場搶救，漁船起火原因則待進一步釐清。

日本德仁天皇今天在皇居御所會見來訪的美國總統川普，除了談及美日關係，也提到道奇隊日籍球星大谷翔平及山本由伸。（路透）

日本德仁天皇今天在皇居御所會見來訪的美國總統川普，這是自2019年5月川普訪日以來，兩人再度會面，除談及美日關係，也提到美國職棒大聯盟MLB道奇隊日籍球星大谷翔平及山本由伸。

朝日新聞、讀賣新聞報導，川普（Donald Trump）於日本當地時間傍晚6時30分左右乘坐專車抵達皇居，德仁天皇親自在玄關迎接，兩人握手並用英文交談。根據宮內廳，會見在皇居御所內的小會客室舉行，透過口譯進行約30分鐘，氣氛融洽。

川普在會談中回顧他與日本已故前首相安倍晉三的深厚信賴關係，並表示希望「在新首相高市（早苗）的領導下，進一步強化美日關係」。德仁天皇回應說，期待川普這次訪日能「強化日美友好關係」。

川普還提到，在他第二度就任美國總統後的「8個月內，我已經解決全球8起衝突。尤其在中東方面取得重大成果，儘管極富挑戰」。德仁天皇回應，「對於世界各地持續發生的衝突深感痛心，祈願這些地區能早日恢復和平」。

德仁天皇也提及目前在MLB相當活躍的洛杉磯道奇隊球星大谷翔平。他提到，川普曾給予大谷翔平相當高的評價，他對此感到「十分高興」。

川普則是讚賞道奇隊強投山本由伸日前對藍鳥隊完投取勝的表現，說「那位投手的表現非常出色」。德仁天皇表達了對美國社會「熱情接納日本球員」的感謝之意。

會談尾聲，川普對天皇、皇后表示，「隨時歡迎您們到訪白宮」，還說「希望下次不要再間隔6年才相見」。

會談結束後，川普與德仁天皇一起走出御所，川普向記者稱讚天皇是一位「偉大的人（Great Man）」。

德仁天皇於2019年5月即位後，首次接見的國賓就是川普與夫人梅蘭妮亞（Melania Trump）。2017年11月，川普夫婦首次訪日時，也曾拜會當時的天皇與皇后、現為上皇的明仁與上皇后美智子。

title: 健康網》別忘李前總統嗆咳事件 營養師叮嚀安全喝水3件事

前總統李登輝當年因年事已高，在嗆咳送醫後，最後因敗血性休克及多重器官衰竭，與世長辭。營養師蘇哲永叮嚀長者安全喝水3步驟。（資料照）

〔健康頻道／綜合報導〕前總統李登輝在97歲時，因喝牛奶嗆咳之故，最後因敗血性休克及多重器官衰竭，與世長辭。營養師蘇哲永表示，李前總統的故事，用最沉痛的方式，為全台灣的家庭，上了一堂關於「吞嚥退化」的課。

蘇哲永在臉書專頁「蘇哲永 藍鯨營養師 ft.吞嚥&長照這條路」表示，李前總統在當年緊急送醫後，發現有吸入性肺炎及心臟衰竭，後續合併兩側肺部胸膜積水及急性腎損傷，又因年歲已高，有多重慢性病，在住院過程中，反覆感染，不幸因敗血性休克及多重器官衰竭過世。

蘇哲永說，我們每天都在做的「喝」的動作，別小看「吞嚥困難」這件事，根據國健署統計，在台灣，65歲以上的社區長者，每10個裡面，就有1個，正面臨吞嚥障礙。

更有21.8% 的長輩，每週至少會發生三次以上的嗆咳。蘇哲永表示，清水、牛奶、茶，這種「不稠的液體」，是隱形殺手，但更可怕的是「無聲嗆咳」。根據美國語言聽力協會（ASHA）的資料，在健康高齡者中約28%，嗆到時，是完全不會咳嗽的。部分研究也顯示，急性中風患者約有27%出現無聲吸入。這些「沒咳出來的液體」，就這樣帶著細菌，日積月累地，侵蝕著肺部。

安全喝水有3件事 小改變保平安●坐直，下巴微收：這是最基礎、也最關鍵的姿勢。請長輩務必「坐直」，喝的時候「下巴稍微往下收」。這個動作能縮小咽喉入口，提升安全性。●控制每一口的量：使用容量較小的杯子，提醒長輩一次一小口，慢慢喝。給予喉嚨足夠的反應時間。●選擇適當的容器：市面上，有一些特殊設計的杯子，它們的特殊設計，讓長輩不需抬頭，鼻子就不會卡到杯子，能輕鬆維持「下巴微收」的安全姿勢。

國民黨立委陳玉珍提出「陸海空軍軍官士官服役條例草案」，要將退役軍、士官所領退休俸、遺屬年金的調整機制比照現役。民進黨團書記長陳培瑜痛批，這是慷國家之慨，來讓特定族群投票給她，這些國民黨立委真的很不負責任，只想著自己的政治利益，完全沒有考慮年金永續或國家財政的問題，「實在是太誇張、太荒謬了！」陳玉珍回應，為軍人加薪，捍衛退役軍人的尊嚴，他一定繼續堅持，就算被抹紅一百次，也無所畏懼，不會退縮。

陳培瑜表示，國民黨在「公立學校教職員退休資遣撫卹條例」也有一條要比照現行在職人員調整，當時在審查時，民進黨委員就告訴他們，這樣雙軌並進是大大的世代不公、族群不公，尤其是行業不公。他可以理解陳玉珍為何要提這個方案，因為陳要選金門縣長，一定希望用國家的財力去滿足對特定族群的照顧，然後讓特定族群回過頭來投票，甚至把這個政治效益擴張到整個國民黨2026年的縣市首長選舉。

陳玉珍表示，他反對民進黨追殺式、不公平的年金改革不是今天才這樣說，這是他三度參選立委，一直以來所提出的政見主張之一，提出這些法案僅是落實他的政見主張。況且如果這個提案是大部分民眾所不支持的，不是會讓他的選票受損？怎麼會變成幫助他選縣長的選票？

陳玉珍說，之所以提出「陸海空軍軍官士官服役條例草案」，要將退役軍、士官所領退休俸、遺屬年金的調整機制比照現役。是因為有退伍軍人向他陳情表達，不論公、教均有提出調整機制比照現職，為何獨漏退伍軍人無法比照現役，他認為理由正當，合情合理，因此提案讓立法院大家來討論。民進黨立委的說法只是凸顯他們不斷地想拿軍公教來祭旗，作為他們選票的提款機。

陳玉珍指出，民進黨天天要抗中保台，天天要台澎金馬進入備戰狀態，但是卻捨不得給軍人好的待遇，不給軍人加薪，也不提供退役的軍人有隨著物價指數膨脹提高退役生活所需的費用，請問到了打仗的時候，除了現役的軍人，退役的軍人難道不也是很好的備役來源嗎？

陳玉珍強調，一個天天用意識形態綁架國人的政黨，都已經被美國的智庫，在時代雜誌內容中、在與中華民國一向友好的新加坡總理口中提出示警了，執政黨的國會議員，還沒有了解到台海局勢的危殆嗎？民進黨天天想要引戰上身，卻不願給軍人好的待遇，要人家賣命，連安家費都不給。為軍人加薪，捍衛退役軍人的尊嚴，他一定繼續堅持，就算被抹紅一百次，也無所畏懼，不會退縮。

title: 閃兵案威廉等8藝人認罪　陳大天：接受法律制裁

content_text:
王大陸閃兵案陸續查多名藝人涉案，新北檢 6 月偵結起訴。法院今天開庭，陳零九等 8 藝人在庭上全認罪。威廉與陳大天向大眾鞠躬道歉，陳大天稱「將接受法律制裁展現負責決心」。

新北檢警今年 2 月搜索偵辦藝人王大陸閃兵案，5 月再查出陳零九、威廉等藝人涉案。新北地檢署 6 月偵查偵結起訴 28 人，主嫌陳志明、王大陸等 28 人依涉犯妨害兵役治罪條例、公務員登載不實文書罪起訴。

新北地方法院今天下午召開準備程序庭，分 2 波傳喚。第 1 波傳喚藝人陳零九、威廉、陳大天、大根、李銓、阿虎、前男團 SpeXial 成員 Teddy （陳向熙）、模特兒陳信維等人。第 2 波為藝人黃博石、台大學霸方東華、超詳解 examking 創辦人蔣矩任等人。

第1波開庭的 8 名藝人在庭上皆認罪，並請求法官從輕量刑、部分人也請求簡式審判與緩刑。

其中，威廉承認當時赴醫院背 24 小時血壓機測量時，部分交由陳志明指定的人背機器，並未全程自己背負。且陳嫌事後向他勒索，最後交給陳嫌的報酬為新台幣 40 萬至 50 萬元。其律師補充，威廉後來經醫師診斷，確實患有其他免役疾病。

Teddy 則稱因本身有家族高血壓病史，當初陳志明向他表示可利用「合法漏洞」，以次發性高血壓為由辦理免役，更稱是只有陳志明才會的技巧，因此聽信陳嫌並給付 25 萬元。但當陳嫌要求他把血壓機器脫下由他人代背時，他才驚覺是犯罪。

法官詢問若不知違法，為何仍付錢給陳嫌。 Teddy 表示，因當初看診時，有頭皮發麻等症狀，醫師說可能是高血壓症狀，自己也不清楚辦理免役的流程，才聽信陳嫌說詞。

檢察官在庭上表示，因本案為社會矚目案件，涉案人數眾多、規模龐大，且逃兵犯罪歷年被查出者僅冰山一角，若給予緩刑可能讓逃兵心存僥倖，因此建議法官不予緩刑。至於法官是否採取簡式審判程序，將由合議庭評議後再決定。

威廉與陳大天開庭後步出法院，面對媒體鏡頭 90 度鞠躬道歉。威廉說，對於之前投機、僥倖的行為，造成社會軒然大波，感到非常抱歉，今天來這邊面對司法以及自己的錯誤，希望未來成為更好的人。

陳大天說，當初不管基於什麼理由都不該犯罪，「現階段接受法律制裁就是我們展現負責任的決心」。對於個人行為傷害到兵役的公平性、打擊士氣，感到非常抱歉。

根據起訴書，陳志明本身為高血壓患者而免役，因此熟知役男體檢程序。陳志明等人自 2016 年間起至 2025 年間，涉向役男收費，教導役男涉以憋氣影響血壓檢測，或由槍手代量等不法方式，取得醫院開立重度高血壓診斷證明書後，由役男申請辦理變更體位。

北市市場處今天表示，因應非洲豬瘟疫情，針對禁運期間受影響公有市場的豬肉攤將減免攤位租金，初步規劃以減免租金 1 個月為限。

台北市政府市場處發布新聞資料表示，針對非洲豬瘟，農業部 22 日公告全國豬隻禁運、禁宰 5 天， 26 日宣布再延長禁宰禁運 10 天，並視疫情發展滾動調整。

市場處表示，為減輕攤商衝擊，兼顧防疫並協助受影響攤商克服難關，針對禁運期間受影響豬肉攤減免租金，受豬瘟影響無法營業的販售肉製品與缺乏豬肉原料熟食品攤商，申請停業後也可減租，減免租金先以 1 個月為限，將從 23 日開始起算。

市場處表示，北市公有市場共 47 個，販售豬肉有 633 攤、雜貨類（含豬肉食品） 1124 攤、飲食類（豬肉料理） 310 攤，減免措施將依實際停業日數執行，估計 2067 攤受益。

市長蔣萬安昨天透過臉書 Facebook 提到，下午出席行政院召開的非洲豬瘟中央災害應變中心第 38 次線上會議，積極掌握全台防疫現況。

蔣萬安向中央提出包含定期公布冷凍、冷藏豬肉庫存與來源，確保供應穩定、避免價格波動。研議一致補貼標準，協助攤商度過禁宰禁運期。預先調控雞肉供應，防止價格異常。

蔣萬安說，北市目前沒有私人養豬戶，僅台灣大學農業試驗場飼養約 100 頭實驗用豬。市府第一時間已完成訪視，確認防疫措施完善、每週消毒、嚴格管制人員進出；市府目前每天聯繫追蹤，豬隻健康狀況均正常。

他表示，在市場稽查與肉品管理方面，市府從 23 日至 25 日聯合稽查，攤商皆能出示合法屠宰與進貨證明、均未發現異常，將落實稽查與肉品溯源，並進行產品抽驗及源頭查核，提醒民眾選購合法豬肉、確實煮熟食用，不購買或攜帶來源不明肉品。

蔣萬安說，北市府將持續嚴守防線，落實防疫與稽查，全力守護市民食安與市場穩定。

金馬影后陸小芬睽違 24 年回歸小螢幕，她在劇中接住了一群從破碎家庭中長大的孩子，也溫暖了他們的心，戲外陸小芬喜歡研究佛學，把它當成生命的導師，靠佛學靜下心來回歸自己。

陸小芬演出大愛劇「接住流星的人」，她在劇中以沉靜、溫柔卻堅毅的姿態，接住了一群從破碎家庭中長大的孩子，也溫暖了他們的心。製作人王重正透過新聞稿分享，「當初陸小芬會答應接演，完全是被劇本打動。這不是一部說教的戲，而是一部真實愛與關懷的故事，她希望透過角色讓觀眾看到善意可以改變世界。」

24 年沒有拍影集，陸小芬回憶過去長期拍戲，作息不正常，飲食不均衡，就會影響到睡眠、精神跟體力，沒辦法拍好戲。現在只要沒有工作在家的時候，陸小芬大部分都喜歡自己做菜。

陸小芬也很喜歡研究佛學，把它當成生命的導師。她覺得現代人資訊多，同時做很多事「心都沒有歇嘛，沒有休息，心就很混亂」，陸小芬覺得自己最受用的一句話就是「歇即菩提」，也就是不要從外找答案會很混亂，休息靜下來整理好自己、回歸自己。

柯叔元則飾演陷入事業失敗與酒精依賴的父親。柯叔元表示：「這是我第一次挑戰家暴型角色，角色雖然墮落，但他仍有最後的尊嚴。當他丟掉酒瓶的那一刻，就是他選擇『把自己救出來』的開始。」他希望觀眾能透過劇中角色理解：「不論幸福或痛苦，都要學會打開心，接受別人的關心與幫助。」

大愛劇「接住流星的人」 23 日起，每週一至週五，晚間8時在大愛電視及大愛劇場 YouTube 頻道同步播出。

福爾摩沙俱樂部年會首度在台舉辦，歐洲議會議員柯理和今天在開幕式表示，台灣地位影響全球安全、歐洲經濟安全穩定以及國際秩序，民主政體應團結面對威權挑戰，並展開行動。

歐洲「福爾摩沙俱樂部」（ Formosa Club ）於 27 日至 28 日舉行台北年會，這是福爾摩沙俱樂部第 2 屆年會，並首度在台灣舉辦，約有來自歐洲議會及歐洲 18 國國會共 45 名議員訪台出席。今天下午舉行開幕儀式。

年會主席暨歐洲議會外交委員會議員柯理和（ Rihards Kols ）致詞時將台北稱作「不眠城市」，指台北夜晚充滿生氣，享有言論自由、思想自由、表意自由，這是成熟民主的指標，而台北將持續作為韌性、民主、夥伴關係的象徵。

柯理和說，樂見歐洲議會議員們來到台北，他們都是台灣的真朋友，這顯示國會外交不只存在，更在持續推進。民主政體受到系統性威脅，而威權政體對全球國際秩序造成挑戰，「我們決心團結一致面對挑戰，更重要的是要展開行動」。

柯理和強調，台灣是民主前線，台灣地位直接影響到全球安全、歐洲經濟穩定以及以規則為基礎的國際秩序信譽，也是歐洲第 13 大貿易夥伴，更是全球半導體供應鏈關鍵連結。一旦中斷將對各經濟體和社會造成影響，「台灣不僅是共享價值，更具利益」。

柯理和提到，感謝台灣以及台灣人民對烏克蘭的持續支持，也感謝台灣跟進對俄羅斯展開制裁。包括俄羅斯在內諸多行為者以軍事行動、脅迫改變以法治為基礎的國際秩序，「民主政體應負起責任，團結應對全球挑戰」。

柯理和強調，必須意識到遲疑將招來獨裁者，遲疑將被視為軟弱，現在是時候揪出此漏洞，強化民主社會的夥伴關係，不管是以歐洲，還是印太，或是跨大西洋為單位。

外交部長林佳龍致詞時說，台灣致力提升經濟安全、建立韌性供應鏈，這與友盟國家的繁榮願景一致。他說，如同歐洲尋求多元化以及提升自主性，台灣已準備好成為可靠、可信賴且創新的夥伴。

歐洲議會友台小組主席蓋勒（ Michael Gahler ）透過預錄影片指台灣是珍貴且可信賴的夥伴，而維持台灣自由以及民主的生活方式關乎歐盟利益，福爾摩沙俱樂部將持續為台灣國際參與發聲。

「福爾摩沙俱樂部」於 2019 年 10 月由歐洲議會及英、德、法三國國會友台小組主席號召成立，目前由歐洲議會、歐洲各國及加拿大等 31 國國會之友台小組主席擔任共同主席。

他說，從挑戰賽到台灣大賽，場場都是硬仗，今晚更是戲劇性地拚到最後一刻。相信有看比賽的球迷，都像坐上雲霄飛車一樣，從頭緊張到尾。

賴總統說，「我想，這就是棒球最迷人的地方」；樂天在這個季後賽展現了驚人的韌性與鬥志，從落後到逆轉，一路鍥而不捨，拿下冠軍；中信兄弟也背水一戰、毫不退讓，帶給球迷最動人的對決。

他感謝兩支球隊和球迷，用熱情與拚勁，讓這個秋天的球季充滿熱血與感動。職棒走過 36 個年頭，有不離不棄的老球迷始終相伴，今年也有許多新球迷加入。希望大家都能享受到棒球的魅力與力量，未來再一起，為台灣棒球加油。

身為資深獅迷的賴總統不忘提到「最後的最後，我還是要再次以獅迷的身份，向獅隊約定，我還是會在總統府等你們！」

鴻海今天晚間公布重大訊息指出，董事會今天通過預算案，規劃從今年 12 月起至 2026 年 12 月止，投資不超過新台幣 420 億元，採購人工智慧（ AI ）算力雲端業務營業用資訊設備，以建置 AI 算力叢集暨超級電腦運算中心。

鴻海指出，資金來源為自有資金，此次投資主要目的是擴展雲端算力服務平台，加速集團三大智慧平台發展。

產業人士分析，這將是台灣近期最大的輝達（ NVIDIA ）雲端合作夥伴（ NCP ）建設，未來除了鴻海以外，輝達、台積電、國科會，都可能使用相關算力。

鴻海董事長劉揚偉先前透露，集團正規劃下一個5年計畫，他強調「 AI 應用才剛開始」， AI 市場需求規模非常大，市場估算打造 1GW 等級資料中心得花至少 500 億美元，未來 AI 應用會進入各行各業，未來發展潛力可期。

鴻海在 10 月中旬宣布，將攜手人工智慧晶片大廠輝達，在台灣高雄導入 800 VDC 電力架構，共同打造未來人工智慧工廠（ AI Factory ）基礎設施，這將是鴻海推動 AI 產業升級重要里程碑，將成為集團 AI 伺服器、資料中心及再生能源整合應用的示範基地。

在資本支出布局上，鴻海在8月中旬法人說明會中表示，今年上半年資本支出達到新台幣 798 億元、年增超過 25 %，今年資本支出維持全年成長 20 %以上的目標。

鴻海研究院先前指出，鴻海集團積極自主訓練人工智慧基礎模型技術，打造智慧製造、智慧電動車、智慧城市等三大平台。

鴻海研究院表示，訓練 AI 基礎模型，取決於企業內部資料量多寡，因為訓練基礎模型，需要龐大等級的資料量，除了資料量，還需要預算支持。

鴻海在3月中旬宣布，鴻海研究院推出第1版具有推理能力的人工智慧繁體中文大型語言模型（ LLM ），透過導入 AI 大型語言模型，強化三大平台的數據分析效率。

鴻海先前說明，輝達提供 Taipei-1 超級電腦及技術諮詢，讓鴻海研究院透過使用輝達 NeMo 人工智慧模型服務，順利完成模型訓練。

title: 川普抵日赴皇居　德仁天皇親迎兩人互動熱絡

content_text:
美國總統川普今天會見了日本德仁天皇，白宮稱之為禮節性拜訪，由此揭開川普在東京接受一連串熱烈歡迎活動的序幕。

美國有線電視新聞網（ CNN ）報導，這次訪問日本提供川普（ Donald Trump ）進入皇居的難得機會，德仁天皇迎接川普時面帶微笑並揮手致意。

身穿深藍色西裝與金色領帶的川普從座車走下來後興奮地微微張開雙手，接著熱情問候德仁天皇，兩人握手寒暄，然後轉向攝影機對鏡頭微笑，川普還撥弄了下西裝外套鈕扣。

兩人隨後走進皇居，期間川普曾短暫將手放在德仁天皇身上。川普 2019 年對日本進行國是訪問時，德仁天皇曾設宴款待川普。

這兩位領袖在皇居內停留半個多小時後再度現身，川普稱讚德仁天皇是「偉大的人」。

日本是川普亞洲行第 2 站，他首先在東京皇居會見德仁天皇，明天將會晤日本首位女性首相高市早苗。
