The artificial intelligence (AI) boom, sparked by the arrival of OpenAI’s ChatGPT, took the world by storm. Within weeks, everyone was talking about it, trying it and had an opinion. It has transformed the way people live, work and think.

The trend has only accelerated. The AI snowball continues to roll, growing larger and more influential across nearly every sector.

Higher education has not been spared. Universities rushed to embrace this technological wave, eager to demonstrate that they are keeping up with the times. AI literacy is now presented as an essential skill, a key selling point to attract prospective students. As a result, institutions have been integrating AI tools across campus life, often enthusiastically and sometimes uncritically.

From teachers’ perspectives, this shift has created deep confusion. Most universities still struggle to establish clear policies on how students should utilize AI, particularly in the context of assessment. Amid the chaos, two dominant camps have emerged.

The first belongs to what might be called the “dinosaurs” of academia, or those who see technology as a threat and respond by retreating into the comfort of rigid, top-down instruction.

Their solution to the AI problem is simple: Ban it. Return to memorization, closed-book exams and handwritten essays. This nostalgic approach needs little attention. Most educators recognize that this method no longer prepares students for the real world.

The second camp is more complex and far more influential. These are the AI enthusiasts who say that since the technology is here to stay, the only reasonable path forward is to embrace it.

They talk about “AI literacy” and “critical engagement” with AI outputs. On paper, this sounds progressive. In practice, it rests on two flawed assumptions.

First, the proposed solutions are detached from academic reality. Suggestions such as conducting oral examinations after every paper or assignment might sound appealing, but they are unrealistic in large classes with overworked instructors and a lack of institutional support. They do little to address the real issue, which is students’ growing overreliance on AI tools for thinking, writing and comprehension.

Second, the idea of teaching students to “work with AI” or “critically assess AI output” assumes a level of intellectual maturity and skill that many undergraduates might not yet possess. Teaching ethics or digital literacy sounds good in principle, but these efforts have long proven to be ineffective when the foundations of reading, writing and reasoning are weak.

The truth is that AI is equally tempting to weak and strong students, offering an effortless shortcut that undermines genuine learning.

The result is an academic culture that has become obsessed with AI. Its supporters repeat the mantra that “those who know how to use AI will succeed in the future job market.” That might be true, but it misses a crucial point. Beyond the already established problems of AI, such as hallucinations, cognitive capacity decline, bias amplification and inconsistent outputs, one critical element remains missing from the discussion.

To use AI effectively, one must first possess the fundamental skills that enable critical evaluation: the ability to read carefully, write coherently, think analytically and understand the context. In our collective rush to embrace this amazing technology, we are sidelining precisely those skills that education was meant to cultivate.

The consequence is a generation that appears intelligent, knowledgeable and articulate, but that appearance is artificial.

There are no perfect solutions, but we need a frank and honest discussion about AI in education, one in which it is acceptable to call AI a threat.

Acknowledge its growing importance, yes, but also its capacity to profoundly and negatively reshape how future generations think, learn and operate.

Unless we restore balance and reaffirm what genuine learning means, we risk betraying our mission as educators.

Once the AI bubble bursts, we will realize that we have raised a generation brilliant at prompting machines, but helpless at responding to life.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) recently commemorated Taiwan’s “retrocession,” and for the first time said that the nation would be “governed by patriots” after unification. The majority of Taiwanese do not understand the seriousness of what this phrase implies and reactions have been muted.

Look to Hong Kong’s experience as a cautionary precedent and see that a call for “governance by patriots” is a meticulous and single-minded plan for institutional takeover.

Hong Kong is preparing for its next Legislative Council elections, amid announcements from more than 20 lawmakers that they would not be seeking re-election. Most are from major pro-Beijing political parties — the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, the New People’s Party, the Business and Professionals Alliance for Hong Kong, and the Liberal Party.

Academics said many of the withdrawals from the “patriots only” legislative race have come under pressure, as Beijing seeks new loyalist blood to replace what it sees as remnants of a colonial era.

There is no longer room for autonomy in Hong Kong’s governance; “patriots” have occupied every last inch.

Looking back, it is clear that Beijing’s political takeover of Hong Kong was a calculated and long-term project.

During the first phase in 2014 to 2019, united front tactics and media infiltration led to the expansion of pro-China outlets, business interference and the suppression of civil society, which gradually eroded local autonomy. The pro-Beijing camp enjoyed executive control, but lost the support of the public, sparking the Umbrella movement and the 2019 anti-extradition protests.

Between 2020 and 2022, phase two saw the implementation of Hong Kong’s National Security Law, the dismantling of free elections and the establishment of the Office for Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong. Political opponents were squashed, and electoral reforms introduced mechanisms to ensure that only “patriots” could run for positions of power — in effect, a mass silencing of the Legislative Council.

Phase three unfolded between 2023 and this year, with a sweeping parliamentary reshuffle and Beijing’s installation of a so-called “national team” of lawmakers. Political loyalty has replaced egalitarian competition, from Hong Kongers governing themselves to governance by “central authorization.”

This is the essence of the CCP’s core governance model — “autonomy” without democratic self-determination, doled out by a centrally authorized local authority.

Beijing holds Hong Kong’s “successful implementation of one country, two systems” up as a future reference for Taiwan after a supposed unification.

Taiwan is in a similar position as Hong Kong’s first phase — one featuring discourse manipulation and psychological warfare. There is widespread propaganda about the “seven benefits of peaceful reunification,” demonization of democratic institutions as the root of separatism, and a push for integration followed by unification on the basis of cross-Strait blood and cultural ties. These elements are weaponized by the CCP to dull Taiwanese sensitivity over their sovereignty and institutions, and to spread the illusion that unification does not mean loss of autonomy.

If pro-China parties gain significant power, it could become Beijing’s proxy in controlling Taiwan and lay the foundations for the nation’s version of Hong Kong’s story.

First, a “central liaison office” would be established in Taiwan, combining the functions of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office and the Office for Safeguarding National Security.

Then, a patriot vetting system by Beijing would determine candidates’ eligibility to run for office.

Third, systems would be overhauled to ban “separatist” parties such as the Democratic Progressive Party.

Last, electoral reforms would introduce “functional constituencies,” preserving “elections,” but compromising democratic substance.

Beijing could enact a “National Security Law for the Taiwan Special Administrative Region” and establish a public security body in Taiwan. “Separatist ideology” would be purged from education and media, and the curriculum would be delocalized and “patriotic education” would be promoted in its place.

Hong Kong’s experience has shown that the “governance by patriots” model is closer to “rule by the elimination of dissent.” Similarly, “one country, two systems” is nothing more than unilateral dominance. “Governance by patriots” in Taiwan would mean a filtered democracy at best, the conditionalization of freedom of speech and elections becoming loyalty tests, leaving only China-authorized political participation.

Hong Kong serves as a window through which Taiwan can glimpse the reality of “autonomy after unification,” and is a warning of the consequences that await it if it loses its sense of identity.

Hong Kong’s today might be Taiwan’s tomorrow. The difference is that Hong Kong’s resistance came too late. Taiwan still has the power to choose. Whether we can learn from Hong Kong and prevent a similar situation from unfolding in Taiwan will be a genuine test of the courage and wisdom of this generation.

title: VP’s speech in Brussels is a leap in diplomacy

content_text:
Vice President Hsiao Bi-khim (蕭美琴) on Friday addressed the European Parliament in Brussels at the invitation of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, a global alliance of lawmakers from various countries focused on China relations.

The speech was unprecedented and a diplomatic milestone for Taiwan. For academics and long-time observers of international affairs, Hsiao’s appearance at the heart of European politics was a breakthrough.

Critics have called the speech a thoughtless provocation against China. This is narrow-minded and unfair. An invitation for Taiwan to address the European Parliament does not come by chance — it is the result of sustained diplomatic efforts behind the scenes. There has been authorization from President William Lai (賴清德) and careful planning by Minister of Foreign Affairs Lin Chia-lung (林佳龍).

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Francois Wu’s (吳志中) experience with European relations came into play, as well as bold action by envoy to the EU and Belgium Shieh Jhy-wey (謝志偉), and support from partners such as Germany and the UK.

Each link in the chain has required courage and decisiveness. The move was not a provocation, but a rightful step forward. Regardless of party politics, it deserves the applause of Taiwanese society.

The significance of Hsiao’s speech extends beyond its immediate effects — it is establishing a new precedent.

The first time that any diplomatic ground is broken is always the most tense. To lay the foundations for a way forward, we must be willing to brave the risks and obstacles that come our way. Each success can become a precedent for the future.

Now that an official as high-ranking as the vice president has addressed the EU, perhaps the president could follow — it is the beginning of institutionalized diplomacy.

As always, the key is to avoid overshooting or undershooting. For a truly mature diplomatic approach, we must stay strategically flexible and know how to move when the time is right.

Taiwan must not constrain itself with fear of China’s reaction. If we stop at every decision to ask “will this upset Beijing?”, we will never step out of China’s shadow.

Over the past year, Taiwan’s diplomatic efforts have quietly been turning a corner. As foreign minister, Lin has traveled extensively. Not only has he increased Taiwan’s contact with Europe, but he has also established new mechanisms for dialogue with the Philippines and expanded substantive exchanges with political figures in Japan. These efforts are a true show of comprehensive diplomacy.

Hsiao’s speech in Brussels was a collective victory for the entire foreign affairs team and a moment all Taiwanese can be proud of.

In this volatile era, Taiwan must stay resolute and confident in making the world hear its voice. This is a historic breakthrough — let us celebrate it as such.

On Sunday, 13 new urgent care centers (UCC) officially began operations across the six special municipalities. The purpose of the centers — which are open from 8am to midnight on Sundays and national holidays — is to reduce congestion in hospital emergency rooms, especially during the nine-day Lunar New Year holiday next year. It remains to be seen how effective these centers would be. For one, it is difficult for people to judge for themselves whether their condition warrants visiting a major hospital or a UCC — long-term public education and health promotions are necessary. Second, many emergency departments acknowledge

title: The matcha craze needs more champagne

content_text:
Japan must assert its cultural claims to matcha to avoid it being buried in a landslide of Chinese tea powder

If you think it is hard work selling coal to Newcastle or ice to an Inuit, how about selling matcha to Japan?

That is what China is hoping to achieve, as the biggest tea producer spots an opportunity in the worldwide craze for putting Japan’s richly flavored green tea powder into everything from lattes and cookies to cheesecake and KitKats.

Japanese public broadcaster NHK last month visited a factory in China’s Guizhou Province that is producing 2,000 tonnes of matcha a year, almost half of Japan’s annual output. China is already by some measures the bigger grower: About 3,966 tonnes were processed in 2020, accounting for more than half of the tea sold in a market valued at US$4.53 billion.

With China dominating electric vehicles, smartphones, furniture and solar panels, it might feel inevitable that matcha would go the same way. Still, Japan could do more to defend itself against the onslaught. Adopting the more aggressive techniques used in Europe would be a good place to start.

In terms of mass-market production, the game has surely already been lost. China has 30 times as much farmland as Japan and produces about 50 times more green tea.

Matcha production can be labor-intensive: It has to be grown in the shade, and in Japan is often harvested with handheld machine cutters and processed in small-scale facilities that are struggling to keep up with the explosion in demand.

Judging by current trends, the vast majority of matcha is going to end up in soft-serve ice-cream, chiffon cakes, mochi and macarons. It would be a waste if Japan tried to chase that low-end business, when the opportunities at the top of the market are so much more alluring.

To take advantage, Japan’s tea industry needs to be far more assertive about what makes it special. Geographical indications (GI), the trademark-style laws that prevent Californian wine producers from calling their sparkling cuvees “champagne,” are still a relative novelty there. Europe has been protecting its unique agricultural products for more than a century, with early regulations even turning up in the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I. Japan did not pass its first GI law until 2015, and still seems to be of two minds about it.

Kobe beef, the super-expensive, marbled meat farmed exclusively from the Tajima strain of cattle in Hyogo Prefecture northwest of Osaka, was one of the first products to be registered under the rules. Every kilogram exported is tracked by a local marketing association, but it is still common to find locally raised “Kobe beef” and “Kobe-style beef” on the shelves of US supermarkets, because the trademark is not recognized there.

You cannot sign a major trade agreement with the EU without recognizing its GI system, but Japan has progressively lowered its tariffs on US beef imports in the past few years, without winning any concessions on this point. The estate of basketballer Kobe Bryant enjoys better intellectual property protection in the US than the meat he was named after.

Matcha, to be sure, has a fundamental problem here. The term — “ground tea,” as opposed to the infused sencha — just describes a routine processing method, like the “cheddaring” of dairy curds which gives cheddar cheese its un-trademark-able name.

That is not insurmountable: There are numerous local varieties, such as Uji matcha and Fukuoka matcha, that could trade on their reputations, the way Bordeaux wine estates do.

It is not clear that Japan has an appetite for the fight. The EU has nearly 2,000 protected wines and spirits, according to its eAmbrosia register. Japan has designated just two types of tea, both of them sencha.

In Nishio, one of the most renowned matcha growing regions, the local growers’ cooperative got itself removed from the register in 2020, after finding that domestic drinkers were not prepared to pay prices to compensate for the laborious methods required by the geographical indication.

That is a defeatist approach. Matcha is a global craze and need not be limited by local appetites. Champagne is a case in point: It owes its origins as much to English glassblowers, chemists and consumers as to French farmers.

Japan has as much cultural capital now as it has had for decades. The stellar reputation of its food products is not being matched by commensurate efforts to protect and market them to international buyers.

Taking advantage of this is not an easy process, especially as a warming climate alters the unique local conditions that GI designations depend on (a record heat wave is one reason that matcha supplies are struggling to keep up with demand this year). However, in a world that would soon be buried under a drift of Chinese tea powder, it would be necessary. Some of the world’s great fortunes were built on the decades of efforts that turned champagne from a local oddity into a worldwide luxury good. In the matcha game, Japan has to be in it to win it.

Even though the world produces enough food to feed all of humanity, the UN World Food Programme found that more than 295 million people faced acute hunger last year — a record high. While many factors have contributed to rising food insecurity, the most important is conflict. That is especially true in sub-Saharan Africa.

For example, the protracted civil war in Sudan has been brutal and is getting worse, pushing parts of the country into famine. The misery, in turn, has led to a deterioration in the security situation and destabilized neighboring countries.

Of course, hunger is far from the only driver of insecurity in Sudan and other sub-Saharan countries, but food is essential for stability, meaning that the agriculture sector can be a force for peacebuilding in Africa and worldwide.

To that end, CIMMYT and AGRA have worked with African farmers to help stabilize areas beset by conflict and violent extremism.

In Sudan’s eastern Kassala State, a women-led cooperative showed how small interventions can improve community well-being.

One of the cooperative’s leaders, Imtithal Atta, increased her yields and earnings dramatically after learning better cultivation techniques and getting access to higher-quality seeds. Her success not only raised her self-confidence and influence, but also helped lower food prices for thousands of displaced people who had sought safety in the region.

In northern Nigeria, long plagued by terrorism, Habiba Abdulkarim and her cooperative faced many obstacles to securing land and reliable inputs, but by coming together to advocate for their needs with local leaders, the group gained access to more farmland and quality seeds.

That resulted in better harvests and lower costs, encouraged other women to join forces in cooperative farming, and generated benefits for households and the wider community.

These are not isolated cases. As societies emerge from conflict, the restoration of agriculture is often an important sign of recovery. A steady food supply delivers tangible peace dividends: Families can eat, farmers can earn and local economies can recover.

Humanitarian aid can help these communities get back on their feet, but only functioning farms and markets can restore lasting stability.

While this is food security in the traditional sense — reliable access to sufficient and safe nutrition — it also highlights how food can be a strategic commodity.

In addition to sustaining households, agriculture anchors fragile states, gives legitimacy to governments and creates an opening for cooperation in an increasingly fragmented world.

Even as developing economies focus on food sovereignty, with self-sufficiency signifying geopolitical resilience, the goal does not have to be at odds with interdependence. A robust national agri-food sector can put countries in a better position to collaborate with international partners on their own terms, improving stability further.

Agriculture can also offer a platform for dialogue among geopolitical competitors. For example, countries that disagree on trade or borders might find common ground when it comes to controlling crop diseases or stabilizing grain supplies. Such collaboration can build confidence when negotiations on more contentious issues reach an impasse.

It can be achieved through governmental and non-governmental channels, as the global fight against wheat rust has shown: Scientific institutes and governments share resistant varieties across borders, protecting harvests and fostering trust even when diplomatic relations are tense.

Climate change adds to the urgency of boosting food security. Rising temperatures, erratic rains and soil degradation have already reduced crop yields, while changing weather patterns spread pests and disease. These pressures jeopardize food sufficiency and safety.

Consider Fusarium, a fungus that can cause wheat to turn pink and is toxic for humans. As the air becomes warmer and more humid, Fusarium grows more easily — as is the case in Europe, where crops have little resistance to the fungus.

Climate-resilient agriculture — including drought-tolerant crop varieties, regenerative practices, sustainable irrigation and integrated pest management — is essential not just to maintain productivity, but also to prevent civil disorder stemming from soaring prices and tight supplies.

Countries that cannot feed their people risk social unrest, while those that cannot work together to overcome shared agricultural problems risk regional conflict. As a result, climate-related shocks to the global food system could cause unprecedented upheaval.

For too long, agriculture has been siloed off from security and diplomatic strategy, but efforts to support and strengthen the resilience of food systems should be central to post-conflict recovery, an arena for dialogue among adversaries and a frontline strategy in the fight against climate change.

The development of local agriculture — ideally with the backing of international investment — might not resolve every conflict, but none can be resolved without it.

Latin America is suffering from an honest dialogue deficit.

The ideological gulf between leftist and right-wing governments has consumed its politics, leaving leaders unable — or unwilling — to build bridges and confront the shared challenges their countries face, from insecurity and drug trafficking to stagnant growth and weak trade integration.

Nothing illustrates this fracturing better than the postponement of the Summit of the Americas, set to take place in the Dominican Republic early next month, but called off last week due to “deep differences of opinion” among participants. A separate meeting between regional and European leaders — the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States summit in Santa Marta, Colombia, which started on Sunday — was also downgraded amid tensions between the host government and Washington.

Some might argue this is not the best moment for regional gatherings anyway — not while the US military is preparing for possible action against Venezuela and sinking boats and killing people in the Caribbean and Pacific oceans without clear legal backing.

The Punta Cana summit might have gone ahead if US President Donald Trump had confirmed his attendance, but he has always had little interest in such multilateral diplomacy: He canceled his participation in the 2018 Summit of the Americas in Peru at the last minute.

It is also true the world suffers from a glut of summits that rarely live up to expectations. Yet the bottom line remains: Latin American leaders display a stunning inability to meet, listen and find common ground to achieve better collective solutions. The trend is hardly new, but its costs are rising.

As former Costa Rican President Carlos Alvarado Quesada last month wrote in Americas Quarterly, Latin America lacks a common narrative that gives it meaning and direction: “The region defines itself between loneliness and oblivion.”

Moreover, even as Latin America is capturing the greatest international attention in at least a generation — and when Trump has big plans for the region (which might include listening to what Latin Americans have to say) — its leaders keep pratfalling on the global stage, undermining the continent’s strategic interests.

Diplomatic and personal confrontations have metastasized: Relations between Argentina and Brazil have frozen amid the public hostility between Argentine President Javier Milei and Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, with Buenos Aires among the few governments yet to confirm attendance at next week’s COP30 climate summit in Belem.

Mexico broke ties with Ecuador last year after police stormed its embassy in Quito; Peru did the same with Mexico this week, accusing it of meddling in its internal affairs. Colombian President Gustavo Petro has clashed with half the continent including like-minded allies.

Even Brazil and Nicaragua have expelled each other’s ambassadors despite the ideological affinities and long-standing friendship between their leaders. Regional institutions such as the Organization of American States have lost weight and influence.

The political abuse of the asylum system — often justified as a defense of human rights, but more often a tool to protect ideological allies — has further inflamed tensions. Then there are the darker cases: The Venezuelan and Nicaraguan governments allegedly ordering the assassination of political rivals exiled in neighboring countries.

The consequences of such toxic behavior are in the region’s hapless dealings with Venezuela: Whether out of incapacity or complicity, the region’s failure to confront Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s abuses over the years has only abetted his authoritarian gangsterism, poisoning regional politics and leaving fewer and riskier options for change on the table.

Now, with Trump openly weighing military alternatives to remove Maduro, Latin America finds itself a spectator in its own geopolitical story, unable to produce a homegrown solution and outsourcing Venezuela’s future to Uncle Sam. History suggests that such interventions rarely end as Washington strategists initially imagined.

It would be a glorious day if and when Maduro is finally gone, but it is doubtful that Trump’s White House has a comprehensive plan for the day after that — and that is assuming Maduro would go quietly, which seems unlikely. In the most pessimistic scenario, the conflict could drag on for years because of Chavismo’s hold on the country.

Instead of indulging in petty fights, Latin American governments should be preparing for what could come. Any kind of US military action in Venezuela — even if framed as a fight against narco-terrorists — would carry huge reverberations. Its leaders need to act like adults and start thinking beyond their domestic squabbles. Their partisan approach to foreign policy may keep their bases mobilized, but at a huge cost to the countries’ international credibility.

Alvarado Quesada proposes four sensible ideas to overcome the region’s divisions, from putting ideology in the background to nurturing new leaders capable of thinking beyond borders. Today’s presidents should also borrow a page from Trump. After realizing his bullying of Lula was counterproductive, he about-faced and embraced Brazil’s leader as if they had been friends all along. It was a rare flash of the kind of pragmatism that Latin America badly needs — starting with the dogmatic Lula, who still cannot bring himself to call Venezuela’s regime what it is: a bloody dictatorship that benefits no one in the region.

Latin Americans like to say their countries are brotherly people. That is mostly romantic rhetoric, but it points to a truth that their leaders need to embrace: A joint approach to regional problems will always be better than going it alone.

title: Monkeys manager Furukubo steps down

content_text:
UNEXPECTED MOVE: ‘I have no idea what the management is thinking — at least let [Furukubo] stay in the minor league,’ the Rakuten Monkeys’ Lin Chih-ping said

The Rakuten Monkeys have unexpectedly parted ways with manager Kenji Furukubo, two weeks after the team became Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL) champions.

The team’s general management on Sunday made the announcement of Furukubo’s departure, shortly after the Monkeys’ exhibition game against South Korea’s KT Wiz in Taoyuan — a decision that reportedly caught many players by surprise.

“The franchise thanks manager Furukubo for his contributions over the past four years, including leading the Rakuten Monkeys to the 2025 Taiwan Series championship,” the franchise said in a brief statement. “The new coaching staff for next season will be announced once finalized.”

The 61-year-old Furukubo of Japan was recently named CPBL Manager of the Year.

Monkeys general manager Kouki Makino said the decision was “based on the contract and a mutual agreement,” but declined to say how long the franchise had been considering such a move.

Furukubo has been “an energetic and respectful senior” whose passion for the game was impressive, Makino said.

He did not say whether Furukubo would remain with the team in another capacity.

After Sunday’s game, Furukubo addressed the coaches and players, saying he was sorry he could not continue to lead them.

Furukubo was a catcher in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) before his retirement in 2002, and he later worked as a coach in the NPB and Korea Baseball Organization.

He joined the Fubon Guardians as a catcher coach in 2019, then transferred to the Monkeys in 2022 as bench coach. He was promoted to manager after the team’s loss in the 2023 Taiwan Series, becoming the Monkeys’ first Japanese manager since the franchise came under Japanese ownership in 2020.

Under his leadership, the Monkeys recorded identical 62-57-1 records to rank third and qualify for the playoffs in each of the past two seasons.

Yesterday, several Monkeys players expressed disappointment at the news of Furukubo’s departure.

“I have no idea what the management is thinking — at least let [Furukubo] stay in the minor league,” veteran infielder Lin Chih-ping wrote on social media, later adding that the decision was “embarrassing.”

“Ojisan, thank you for everything, and for all your care,” outfielder Cheng Chin wrote in Japanese.

Catcher Chang Min-hsun, a member of this year’s CPBL All-Pro “Best Nine” team, posted a photo of Furukubo giving his Manager of the Year award speech, with the caption: “Best Manager.”

Meanwhile, Makino said the team would meet with each coach before making any further changes, and the current staff would oversee player training until a new manager is appointed.

The franchise is focused on finding the most suitable candidate, regardless of potential language barriers, he said.

When Indianapolis Colts kicker Michael Badgley kicked a last-gasp field goal to send Sunday’s NFL match to overtime, the Berlin crowd understood the significance, even if many were watching live for the first time.

The reaction of the 72,203-strong Berlin Olympic Stadium to its first regular season NFL match, between the Colts and the Atlanta Falcons, showed how far the sport has come in Germany since its initial foray into the country at the same venue 35 years ago. The Colts were trailing after a Falcons touchdown and two-point conversion with 1:44 on the clock.

In overtime, Atlanta had the ball first, but Indianapolis won it back, marched up the field and let Jonathan Taylor claim the match 31-25 with his third touchdown.

Sunday’s game — the first of three slated for Berlin — was the fifth regular season match in Germany since the first in Munich in 2022. Each sold out well in advance, with the sport now well established on the German sporting landscape.

Having played exhibition games in England and Sweden, the NFL came to Berlin in 1990. Germany was yet to formally reunite, but the fall of the Berlin Wall just nine months earlier meant fans from east and west could attend the game. Sensing an opportunity, the NFL moved the match from Frankfurt to Berlin. While the intentions were noble, the match itself, between the Los Angeles Rams and the Kansas City Chiefs, did not sell out. News reports at the time said the crowd seemed confused by the rules, approaching the match as a foreign curiosity.

The Los Angeles Times said it was “difficult to see why the [teams] are playing an exhibition game here,” adding that “the West German media have been generally disinterested in this American invasion.”

The left-leaning Berlin Tageszeitung said the “biggest attraction” of the match was a prematch concert by Italian tenor Placido Domingo.

Fire jugglers, cheerleaders and frisbee-catching dogs stole the show, the Berlin Tageszeitung said at the time.

On the field, then Rams quarterback Jim Everett threw the first touchdown pass on German soil.

Everett said the fans’ passion for the game was clear early.

“I feel people loved seeing the collisions — and there were no red cards. Legal hits and people loved it,” he said.

The significance of the moment for the visiting players outweighed the NFL’s expansionist ambitions, Everett said.

“The people seemed happy with the country coming together. I will always cherish seeing such a monumental event of a country healing right before my eyes,” he said.

Everett had taken a promotion trip to Germany months earlier, ahead of the match. With much of the physical barrier still standing across the city, the now 62-year-old took a piece of the wall home with him.

“I have a piece of that history on my shelf to this day,” Everett said.

On Sunday, on the 36th anniversary of the fall of the wall, the match between teams from the other side of the world took on a local flavor — unlike in 1990. Perhaps the biggest cheer of the night was for Bjorn Werner, a Berlin-born defensive end who played for the Colts for three seasons.

Prior to Sunday’s match, the NFL unveiled a giant mural to Werner playing alongside a bear, the symbol of the city, in the center of Berlin.

After the Colts scored a touchdown, Hamburg singer HP Baxxter of German band Scooter ran onto the pitch to perform Maria, a song which rings out with every six-pointer at Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Stadium. Another player on the field 35 years ago, Rams running back Gaston Green, said the NFL’s international spread had taken him by surprise.

“The growth of the game has been massive,” said Green, who rushed for 115 yards on 21 carries in 1990.

“Where it is today is nothing short of extraordinary, especially when you look at it compared to 35 years ago,” he added. “The NFL is a global sports brand now. I would not be surprised if eventually a Super Bowl was played in another country.”

Inter vault to top of Italian Serie A after SSC Napoli slip-up

Italian champions SSC Napoli on Sunday came unstuck at Bologna, losing 2-0 to cede the Italian Serie A summit to Inter, who downed SS Lazio by the same scoreline.

AS Roma, who beat Udinese 2-0 earlier, briefly held the summit, only for Inter to dislodge them on goal difference.

With the game just three minutes old, Lautaro Martinez put Inter in control with Ange-Yoan Bonny doubling the lead on the hour with a shot from close range.

Goals in the capital either side of the break by Lorenzo Pellegrini and Zeki Celik sent Gian Piero Gasperini’s Roma temporarily to the top of the table on 24 points after 11 outings.

The breakthrough came for Roma when Hassane Kamara conceded a penalty after handling in the Udinese box.

Pellegrini stepped up in the 42nd minute to send Maduka Okoye the wrong way.

The Romans wrapped up the vital three points one minute after the hour as Celik forced home from Gianluca Mancini’s cut-back.

Udinese had chances to get themselves back into the match inside the final 20 minutes, but Roma goalkeeper Mile Svilar stood strong to deny first Nicolo Zaniolo, then Vakoun Issouf Bayo.

Napoli were held 2-2 after leading by two goals as they went down at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara in Bologna.

After a goalless first half, Napoli were caught off guard five minutes after the break by a precise shot by Thijs Dallinga following a magnificent cross from the left by Nicolo Cambiaghi.

In the 66th minute, Bologna wrapped up the win. This time the danger came from the right: a cross and a header by Jhon Lucumi into Napoli’s top right corner.

Cleveland Guardians pitchers Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz were indicted on Sunday in New York on federal charges involving rigged bets on individual pitches in MLB games.

The Dominican right-handers had been placed on leave by MLB since July while the league conducted an investigation into sports gambling surrounding them.

Ortiz was arrested on Sunday in Boston and was to appear in court yesterday, while Clase was not in custody.

Prosecutors in Brooklyn charged Clase, a 27-year-old closing reliever, and Ortiz, a 26-year-old starter, with being part of a scheme with corrupt bettors who placed hundreds of thousands of dollars in wagers on specific throws.

Charges included wire fraud conspiracy, honest services wire fraud conspiracy, conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery and money laundering conspiracy.

“Professional athletes, like Luis Leandro Ortiz and Emmanuel Clase de la Cruz, hold a position of trust — not only with their teammates and their professional leagues, but with fans who believe in fair play,” US Attorney Joseph Nocella said.

“As alleged, the defendants sold that trust to gamblers by fixing pitches,” he added. “When corruption infiltrates the sport, it brings disgrace not only to the participants, but damages the public trust in an institution that is vital and dear to all of us.”

The announcement follows late last month’s arrests of two prominent NBA basketball figures, Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier and Portland Trail Blazers coach Chauncey Billups, in a separate far-ranging probe into illegal gambling.

Prosecutors in the baseball case said the pitchers agreed in advance with their co-conspirators on specific pitches they would throw, the bettors using that inside information to place hundreds of fraudulent bets.

Clase agreed to the scheme around May 2023 to rig “prop” bets on particular pitches he threw, with wagers on the speed and type of throws he would make, coordinating with Clase at times during games, prosecutors said.

“Clase often threw these rigged pitches on the first pitch of an at-bat,” a statement from prosecutors said. “To ensure certain pitches were called as balls, Clase threw many of them in the dirt, well outside the strike zone.”

Clase received kickbacks from the bettors for the information and sometimes provided money to finance the scheme, according to charges.

Among the rigged pitches was one in New York in a game against the host Mets.

Prosecutors said Clase caused his co-conspirator bettors to win at least US$400,000 in fraudulent wagers.

In June, Ortiz allegedly joined the conspiracy, agreeing in advance to throw balls rather than strikes on certain pitches in two games in exchange for bribes and kickbacks, prosecutors said.

Before a game on June 15, Ortiz allegedly agreed to throw a ball on a particular pitch in exchange for a US$5,000 bribe with Clase getting a US$5,000 bribe for arranging the rigged pitch.

Ortiz allegedly agreed to throw another rigged pitch on June 27 in exchange for a US$7,000 bribe for himself and another for Clase.

Clase allegedly withdrew US$50,000 in cash and provided US$15,000 to a co-conspirator to wage on Ortiz’s rigged pitch during the June 27 contest, with Ortiz producing at least US$60,000 in winning wagers for the co-conspirators.

Each defendant faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on wire fraud conspiracy, 20 years for honest services wire fraud conspiracy, five years on conspiracy to influence sporting contests by bribery and 20 years on the money laundering conspiracy charge.

Manchester City celebrated Pep Guardiola’s 1,000th game in management with a statement 3-0 win over Liverpool to close to within four points of English Premier League leaders Arsenal.

Erling Haaland shrugged off missing an early penalty to head in his 99th Premier League goal before Nico Gonzalez’s deflected effort and a wonder strike from Jeremy Doku confirmed City’s status as Arsenal’s major title rivals.

Liverpool have now lost five of their last six league games to leave the defending champions down in eighth, eight points off the top.

Arsenal’s 10-game winning run ended in a 2-2 draw at Sunderland on Saturday, and Guardiola’s men took full advantage in the battle of the two sides that have dominated the Premier League over the past decade.

“Thank you to the players and staff for giving me that incredible present,” Guardiola said on marking his 1,000th game in style.

“I said to the players: ‘Guys, don’t do it because yesterday Arsenal didn’t win. Let’s do it to believe ourselves,’” he said.

“We play against the champions of England. Show them that we are able to be there with them [Arsenal] this season, and today I think we proved it,” he added.

Even if decisions went against Arne Slot’s men, this was another show of how far they have fallen since cruising to a 2-0 win at the Etihad in February.

The Reds showed signs of a revival in beating Aston Villa and Real Madrid in the past eight days, but had no answer to the slickness of a rejuvenated City, who have won 11 of their last 14 games in all competitions.

“We need to improve and that’s obvious,” Slot said. “The first focus is getting results. The last thing we should focus on right now is the title race.”

Conor Bradley on Tuesday shut down the threat of Madrid’s Vinicius Junior, but was given a torrid time by the pace and trickery of Doku down City’s left.

Doku made the most of Ibrahima Konate’s clearance off Bradley to round Giorgi Mamardashvili before his trailing leg was clipped by the Georgian.

Referee Chris Kavanagh was initially unmoved, but pointed to the spot after a video assistant referee review.

Haaland has struck 28 times already this season for club and country, but is yet to score for City from the spot as Mamardashvili redeemed himself by getting down low to his left to save.

However, the Norwegian has still only failed to score in two of his 18 appearances this season and duly delivered with a looping header to meet Matheus Nunes’ wicked delivery on 29 minutes.

Liverpool thought they were level nine minutes later when Van Dijk’s header from a corner arrowed into the far corner.

However, Andy Robertson ducked out the way of his captain’s effort and was deemed to have interfered with Gianluigi Donnarumma from an offside position.

Instead of going in all square, City rubbed salt in the wounds of Liverpool’s perceived injustice.

The visitors were slow to get out from a corner, and Gonzalez had time to take aim before his shot deflected off Van Dijk to wrong-footed Mamardashvili.

Liverpool only had themselves to blame for not getting back in the game early in the second period as Cody Gakpo blazed over with the goal gaping at the end of a fine move involving Mohamed Salah and Bradley.

Doku fittingly rounded off arguably his best performance in three seasons at City in style to seal victory just after the hour mark.

The Belgian jinked inside the leaden-footed Konate before curling into the top corner from outside the box.

OUTRAGE: The former strongman was accused of corruption and responsibility for the killings of hundreds of thousands of political opponents during his time in office

Indonesia yesterday awarded the title of national hero to late president Suharto, provoking outrage from rights groups who said the move was an attempt to whitewash decades of human rights abuses and corruption that took place during his 32 years in power.

Suharto was a US ally during the Cold War who presided over decades of authoritarian rule, during which up to 1 million political opponents were killed, until he was toppled by protests in 1998.

He was one of 10 people recognized by Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto in a televised ceremony held at the presidential palace in Jakarta to mark National Hero Day.

Indonesian Minister of Culture Fadli Zon said that Suharto played a key role during the struggle for independence against its Dutch colonial rulers, and later served as commander of a military operation that helped take control of what is now West Papua from the Dutch.

Zon also credited the former dictator with alleviating poverty and taming inflation, as well as defeating a Communist uprising. He said allegations of corruption and serious human rights abuses were unproven.

Prabowo had close ties to Suharto, under whom he rose through the ranks of an Indonesian special forces unit accused of extensive human rights abuses. He and other members of the unit were banned from traveling to the US until 2020, when it was lifted while he was serving Indonesia’s defense minister.

He was married to Suharto’s daughter Siti Hediati Hariyadi from 1983 to 1998. Prabowo did not make any statement after the ceremony.

Former Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid, who revoked many of Suharto’s repressive laws, and Marsinah, a prominent labor activist who was killed during the dictatorship, were also among 10 figures recognized as heroes yesterday.

Suharto held power with an authoritarian approach that saw soldiers stationed in every village until he was chased from office by widespread unrest at the peak of the 1997-1998 Asian financial crisis.

He was accused of responsibility for the killings of hundreds of thousands of political opponents during his time in office, but poor health — and, critics charged, continuing corruption — kept him from facing trial until his death in 2008.

The bulk of killings occurred in 1965-1966, when between 300,000 and 800,000 alleged communists were rounded up and slain during his rise to power. Over the next three decades, a further 300,000 people were killed, disappeared or starved in the independence-minded regions of East Timor, Aceh and Papua, according to human rights groups and the UN.

Survivors of state violence under Suharto voiced outrage about the honor.

“I was shocked, disappointed and angry with this government’s absurd decision,” said Bedjo Untung, who was imprisoned without trial after being accused of involvement with the Indonesian Communist Party and now chairs the 1965 Murder Victim’s Research Foundation.

Untung, who was tortured during his 1970-1979 imprisonment, said his family suffered years of discrimination and hardship due to his alleged ties to communism.

“It feels deeply unfair, we are still living with the suffering until today,” Untung said.

Suharto has been nominated for the title of national hero multiple times since 2010, but previous Indonesian leaders rejected the idea in the face of debate and national outcry.

Indonesian Minister of State Secretary Prasetyo Hadi said the candidates for this year’s honors were recommended by the parliament after an in-depth discussion with the national assessment committee for national hero and society groups.

Jaleswari Pramodhawardani, a senior policy analyst at Laboratorium Indonesia 2045, said the national hero title conferred on Suharto challenges not only the nation’s collective memory, but also its unwavering commitment to transitional justice and the mandates of the 1998 reform movement.

To bestow the title of hero upon the architect of the gross human rights abuses is “to de facto pardon state violence, permanently freezing the pursuit of justice for countless victims,” Pramodhawardani wrote.

CATASTROPHES: More than 1.4 million people were displaced as the storm lashed the country, which is still reeling from the effects of Kalmaegi

Typhoon Fung-wong yesterday blew out of the northwestern Philippines after setting off floods and landslides, knocking out power to entire provinces, killing at least four people and displacing more than 1.4 million.

It was forecast to head northwest toward Taiwan.

Fung-wong lashed the northern Philippines while the country was still dealing with the devastation wrought by Typhoon Kalmaegi, which left at least 224 people dead in central provinces on Tuesday last week before pummeling Vietnam, where at least five were killed.

Fung-wong slammed ashore in northeastern Aurora province on Sunday night as a super typhoon with sustained winds of up to 185kph and gusts of up to 230kph .

The 1,800km-wide storm weakened as it raked through mountainous northern provinces and agricultural plains overnight before blowing away from the province of La Union into the South China Sea, state forecasters said.

One person drowned in flash floods in the eastern province of Catanduanes, and another died in Catbalogan city in eastern Samar province when her house collapsed on her, officials said.

In the northern province of Nueva Vizcaya, three children died in two separate landslides in the towns of Kayapa and Kasibu, and four others were injured, police said. An elderly person was killed in a mudslide in Barlig, a town in northern Mountain Province, officials said.

More than 1.4 million people moved into emergency shelters or the homes of relatives before the typhoon made landfall, and about 318,000 remained in evacuation centers yesterday.

Fierce wind and rain flooded at least 132 northern villages, including one where some residents were trapped on their roofs as floodwaters rapidly rose.

About 1,000 houses were damaged, Bernardo Rafaelito Alejandro IV of the Office of Civil Defense and other officials said, adding that roads blocked by landslides would be cleared as the weather improved yesterday.

“While the typhoon has passed, its rains still pose a danger in certain areas” in northern Luzon, including in Metropolitan Manila,” Alejandro said. “We’ll undertake today rescue, relief and disaster-response operations.”

Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr on Thursday declared a state of emergency due to the extensive devastation caused by Kalmaegi and the expected damage from Fung-wong.

Tropical cyclones with sustained winds of 185kph or higher are categorized in the Philippines as a super typhoon to underscore the urgency tied to more extreme weather disturbances.

The Philippines has not called for international help following the devastation caused by Kalmaegi, but Teodoro said the US, the country’s longtime treaty ally, and Japan were ready to provide assistance.

Authorities announced that schools and most government offices would be closed until today.


title: Ex-S Korea leader indicted for flying drones over North

content_text:
Former South Korean president Yoon Suk-yel is facing more criminal charges as prosecutors allege that he flew drones over North Korea in a deliberate bid to stoke tensions and justify his plans to declare martial law.

Yoon set off the most serious political crisis in South Korea’s recent history when he imposed martial law on Dec. last year and sent troops to surround the National Assembly. He was later impeached and removed from office, and is in jail standing trial on charges including masterminding a rebellion.

His successor, President Lee Jae-myung, approved legislation that launched independent investigations into Yoon’s martial law stunt and other criminal allegations involving his wife and administration.

Park Ji-young, a prosecutor from special counsel Cho Eun-suk’s team, speaks at a press conference at the Seoul High Prosecutors’ Office in Seoul yesterday after the team additionally indicted former president Yoon Suk-yeol on charges of aiding the enemy with his alleged dispatch of drones to North Korea last year.

Yoon and two of his top defense officials yesterday were charged with benefitting the enemy and committing abuse of power over their alleged drone flights, which happened about two months before the declaration of martial law, a special investigation team said.

North Korea accused Seoul of flying drones over Pyongyang, the North’s capital, to drop propaganda leaflets three times in October last year. Yoon’s defense minister, Kim Yong-hyun, initially made a vague denial, but South Korea’s military later switched to saying it could not confirm whether the North’s claim was true.

Any public confirmation of South Korean reconnaissance activities inside North Korea is highly unusual.

Tensions rose sharply at the time, with North Korea threatening to respond with force, but neither side took any major action and tensions gradually subsided.

When Yoon announced martial law, he briefly cited “threats from North Korean communist forces,” but focused on his fights with the liberal-controlled parliament that obstructed his agenda, impeached top officials and slashed his government’s budget bill.

Park Ji-young, a senior investigator working for independent counsel Cho Eun-suk, told a briefing yesterday that her team had indicted Yoon, Kim and Yeo In-hyung, ex-commander of the military’s counterintelligence agency, over the alleged drone flying.

She said the trio “undermined the military interests of the Republic of Korea by increasing the danger of a South-North armed conflict with the purpose of setting up an environment for declaring emergency martial law,” Park said.

There were no immediate public responses from Yoon, Kim or Yeo, but in July, Yoon’s defense team said Yoon had maintained he was not informed of the drone flights.


title: FBI director visited Beijing to talk fentanyl: sources

content_text:
FBI Director Kash Patel visited China last week to discuss fentanyl and law enforcement issues, two people familiar with his trip said, following a summit of the US and Chinese leaders where both hailed “consensus” on the matter.

A person briefed on Patel’s trip said the FBI head flew into Beijing on Friday and stayed for about a day.

He held talks with Chinese officials on Saturday, the person added.

Patel’s visit to Beijing was not officially announced by either the US or China and is being reported by Reuters for the first time.

Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Lin Jian (林劍) yesterday said he was not aware of the trip.

The Chinese Ministry of Public Security and the US embassy in Beijing did not respond to requests for comment.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce yesterday announced that the country would make adjustments to the catalogue of drug-related precursor chemicals and would require licenses for export of certain chemicals to the US, Canada and Mexico.

The anti-drug authority also tightened oversight of production and export of drug-making chemicals not on its control list to keep them out of illegal channels, it said in a notice.

It underscored criminal risks exporters could face when shipping chemicals to certain “high-risk” countries such as the US.

US President Donald Trump halved the tariffs on Chinese goods imposed as a punishment over the flow of fentanyl to 10 percent after reaching the agreement during last month’s talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping (習近平).

Xi will work “very hard to stop the flow” of fentanyl, a deadly synthetic opioid that is the leading cause of American overdose deaths, Trump told reporters after the talks.

US Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent said the details of the fresh consensus would be hashed out through a new bilateral working group. It was unclear whether Patel discussed the new mechanism during his Beijing visit.

The deal signaled a shift for Trump officials, who had insisted that punitive measures would remain in place until China proved it was cracking down on fentanyl supply chains. Chinese officials vehemently defend their record on fentanyl, saying they have already taken extensive action to regulate precursor chemicals used to make the drug and accuse Washington of using the issue as “blackmail.”

The Xi-Trump deal went beyond fentanyl and included the resumption of US soybean purchases by China.

For its part, Beijing agreed to pause export curbs announced last month on rare earths.

Frida Kahlo’s El sueno (La cama) — in English, The Dream (The Bed) — is causing a stir among art historians as its estimated US$40 million to US$60 million price tag would make it the most expensive work by any female or Latin American artist when it goes to auction later this month.

Sotheby’s auction house is to put the painting up for sale on Thursday next week in New York after exhibiting it in London, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong and Paris.

“This is a moment of a lot of speculation,” said Mexican art historian Helena Chavez Mac Gregor, a researcher at UNAM’s Institute of Aesthetic Research and author of El liston y la bomba. El arte de Frida Kahlo (The ribbon and the bomb. The art of Frida Kahlo).

In Mexico, Kahlo’s work is protected by a declaration of artistic monument, meaning pieces within the country cannot be sold or destroyed. However, works from private collections abroad — like the painting in question, whose owner remains unrevealed — are legally eligible for international sale.

“The system of declaring Mexican modern artistic heritage is very anomalous,” said Mexican curator Cuauhtemoc Medina, an art historian and specialist in contemporary art.

El sueno (La cama) was created in 1940 following Kahlo’s trip to Paris, where she came into contact with the surrealists.

Contrary to contemporary belief, the skull on the bed’s canopy is not a Day of the Dead skeleton, but a Judas — a handmade cardboard figure. Traditionally lit with gunpowder during Easter, this effigy symbolizes purification and the triumph of good over evil, representing Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus.

In the painting, the skeleton is detailed with firecrackers, flowers on its ribs and a smiling grimace — a detail inspired by a cardboard skeleton Kahlo kept in the canopy of her own bed.

Kahlo “spent a lot of time in bed waiting for death,” Chavez Mac Grego said. “She had a very complex life because of all the illnesses and physical challenges with which she lived.”

While Kahlo’s painting is being sold alongside works by surrealists like Salvador Dali, Rene Magritte, Max Ernst and Dorothea Tanning, she did not consider herself a member of the movement, despite having met its founder, Andre Breton, in Mexico. He organized a Paris exhibition for her in 1939.

“Breton was fascinated by Frida’s work, because he saw that surrealist spirit there,” Chavez Mac Gregor said.

Kahlo, a committed communist, considered surrealism — a movement proposing a revolution of consciousness — to be bourgeois.

“Frida always had a critical distance from that,” Chavez Mac Gregor said.

Despite this, specialists have found elements of surrealism in Kahlo’s work related to the dreamlike, to an inner world and to a revolutionary and sexual freedom — a concept visible in a bed suspended in the sky with Kahlo sleeping among a vine.

El sueno (La cama) was last exhibited in the 1990s, and after the auction, it could disappear from public view once again, a fate shared by many paintings acquired for large sums at auction.

There are exceptions, including Diego y yo (Diego and I), which set Kahlo’s record sale price when it sold for US$34.9 million in 2021.

The painting, depicting the artist and her husband muralist Diego Rivera, was acquired by Argentine business owner Eduardo Costantini and then lent to the Museum of Latin American Art of Buenos Aires where it remains on exhibit.

Medina said the “crazy-priced” purchases have reduced art to a mere economic value.

When funds purchase art as mere investments — like buying shares in a public company — the works are often relegated to tax-free zones to avoid costs, he said.

Their fate “may be worse.” he said. “They may end up in a refrigerator at Frankfurt airport for decades to come.”

The current sale record for a work by a female artist is held by Georgia O’Keeffe’s Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1, which fetched US$44.4 million in 2014.

However, the auction market still reflects a profound disparity as no female artist has yet exceeded the maximum sale price of a male artist. The current benchmark is Salvator Mundi, attributed to Leonardo da Vinci, which was auctioned by Christie’s for US$450.3 million in 2017.

The resignations of the BBC’s director general and its head of news over claims of bias were “a coup” orchestrated from the inside, a former newspaper editor has claimed.

David Yelland, who edited the Sun from 1998 to 2003, yesterday told BBC Radio 4’s Today program that the departures of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness followed the systematic undermining of them by people close to the BBC board over a lengthy period.

“It was a coup, and worse than that, it was an inside job. There were people inside the BBC, very close to the board … on the board, who have systematically undermined Tim Davie and his senior team over a period of [time] and this has been going on for a long time. What happened yesterday didn’t just happen in isolation,” said Yelland, who also copresents the BBC podcast When it Hits the Fan.

“What has happened here is there was a failure of governance. I don’t blame the chairman [Samir Shah] as an individual, but the job of the chair of any organization, a company — including the BBC — is to keep their CEO, their top man or woman, in post or fire them. And that has not happened, because Tim Davie was not fired. He walked and so there was, that is the definition of, a failure of governance,” he said.

The resignations on Sunday followed days of attacks from the White House and rightwing commentators in the UK that were prompted by claims published by the Daily Telegraph.

The paper reported a leaked record of the findings of a former independent external adviser to its editorial guidelines and standards committee, Michael Prescott, who left his role in the summer.

He had criticized the editing of a speech by US President Donald Trump in an edition of Panorama, which he claimed made it appear that Trump had encouraged the US Capitol attack.

Two sections of the speech that were spliced together were made an hour apart, and the edit did not note that Trump had also said he wanted his supporters to demonstrate peacefully.

Yelland’s criticisms echo a mood of dismay described by sources within BBC News on Sunday night, with one saying: “It feels like a coup. This is the result of a campaign by political enemies of the BBC.”

Others, including Sky’s former political editor Adam Boulton, have said the overall impression that Trump egged on the insurrection was fundamentally true. It is not unusual practice to edit together sections of a long speech to accurately summarize it.

Davie said his departure would not be immediate and that he was “working through” timings to ensure an “orderly transition” over the coming months.

Turness said controversy around the Panorama edit had “reached a stage where it is causing damage to the BBC — an institution that I love.”

BBC journalist Nick Robinson yesterday said there had been paralysis at the top of the BBC because, while its senior journalists wanted to apologize for the editing error — but insist there was “no intention to mislead” the audience — the politically appointed directors wanted to go further.

Shah was yesterday expected to apologize to the House of Commons’ culture, media and sport committee, and to provide further details on the Panorama episode in his response to the committee, which had asked how he would address the concerns.

Speaking after the resignations, British Minister of Veterans and People of the UK Louise Sandher-Jones rejected suggestions the BBC was institutionally biased.

“When you look at the huge range of domestic issues, local issues, international issues, that it has to cover, I think its output is very trusted,” she told Sky News.

“When I speak to people who’ve got very strongly held views on those, they’re still using the BBC for a lot of their information, it’s forming their views on this,” she said.

title: 《GTA 6》延半年成本恐多5億美元　執行長強調「從未後悔」

記者楊智仁／綜合報導

玩家們影頸期盼《俠盜獵車手 6》（GTA 6）再次宣布延期，原訂 2026 年 5 月 26 日發售，如今推遲至 2026 年 11 月 19 日再度延後約半年。Rockstar 母公司 Take-Two Interactive 執行長 史特勞斯．澤爾尼克（Strauss Zelnick） 表示，這是「必要且正確決定」。

根據外媒報導，延期將導致開發與營運成本激增，財務分析師 Rob Wilson 指出，延長的品質保證期、行銷重整以及外包商調整，恐使開發費用增加約 3.5 億美元，再加上延後發售導致的潛在收入損失，總損失估計高達 5 億美元。由於該作仍持續開發中，每月營運支出約為 1,000 萬美元，總預算則傳出已超過 10 億美元，使其成為史上成本最高的娛樂項目之一。

報導指出，此次延期不僅影響 Rockstar 的收益，也衝擊母公司 Take-Two Interactive 財務預算，遊戲產業觀察家 Tom Henderson 表示「這樣規模的延期不只是時間問題，而是整個產業成本結構的挑戰。」儘管延期引發粉絲不滿，分析師認為 Rockstar 此舉反而有助於維持品牌口碑，隨著 GTA 6 被視為「史上最受期待的遊戲」，公司寧可承擔巨額開發支出，也要確保成品達到系列標準。

執行長澤爾尼克在投資者電話會議中坦言，「每次延期都很痛苦，但我們從未後悔過。」他同時暗示，部分競爭對手在遊戲品質尚未打磨完善的情況下，仍選擇如期推出會「自食其果」。雖然延期引發粉絲失望，但 Take-Two 強調，《GTA6》將是系列史上最具野心的作品，並且「值得等待」。

文／朱錦華

美國聯邦政府從10月1日起關門至今超過40天。CNN報導，兩黨對峙的僵局在9日終於獲得突破。總統川普告訴媒體，參議院已達成臨時撥款協議，政府關門即將結束。據報導，參議院以60對40票的跨黨派表決結果，通過一項臨時撥款法案，讓政府重新開門至至2026年1月30日。

這項結果是8名民主黨中間派參議員讓步換來的。條件是同意在不延長對俗稱「歐記健保」的《平價醫療法案》(Affordable Care)補助款的前提下，結束這場史上最長的政府停擺危機。根據協議內容，參議院將在12月對「歐記健保」的新修正案進行表決。

▲聯邦政府關門，反對者在白宮外面表達抗議。(圖／達志影像／美聯社)

上述結果可視為川普的一次重大勝利。「歐記健保」的補貼即將在今年12月底到期。但川普決意封殺它，因此在政府年度撥款法案裡把它剔除，民主黨人被迫搞出這場讓政府關門的大戲。由於捍衛「歐記健保」而阻擋政府年度撥款法案的是民主黨人，所以他們阻擋越久、承受的壓力也就越大。畢竟，使用「歐記健保」的仍屬較少數。但因政府停擺而受影響方，卻是大多數人。

川普再度證明了一件事：誰能夠最狠、最能夠不顧人民死活堅持到底的，誰就是贏家。「歐記健保」本來是照顧中、下階層人民的好政策，川普為何堅持要砍它呢？理由很簡單，只要扯到歐巴馬，川普就抓狂：他就是見不歐巴馬比他好！譬如說，歐巴馬當總統第一年就獲頒諾貝爾和平獎，而川普執政5年了，儘管哈得要死，卻依然跟諾貝爾桂冠無緣。再者，歐巴馬是黑人，卻普遍受人民愛戴。作為一名「白人至上主義者」，這是讓川普難以忍受的。

▲美國總統川普難得跟歐巴馬留下同框照。(圖／達志影像／美聯社)

所以，川普可說是「逢馬必反」，決心剷除歐巴馬一切留下來的Lagacy（歷史遺產）。之前最有名的一役，就是他第一任時上台沒多久，就宣布片面撕毀「伊朗核協議」。該協議是歐巴馬費盡九牛二虎之力，糾合中國、俄羅斯、英國、德國和法國聯合施壓才達成的。它旨在以解除經濟制裁為條件，換取伊朗不發展核，該協議於於2016年簽署。

然而2017年川普上台沒多久就把它廢了。之前的所有心血都付諸東流，中東又再次變得緊張兮兮。好啦，今年6月伊朗跟以色列從「代理人戰爭」演變成雙方互打後，伊朗即將擁核的話題再度甚囂塵上。這時候，川普又說要重談「伊朗核核議」了。早知如此，又何必當初？這不一樣！差別在於：歐巴馬之前談成的已經被廢了，這次我川普若是談成了，功勞是我的！

記者閔文昱／綜合報導

日本首相高市早苗日前在國會答詢時強調，「台灣有事」可能構成日本的「存亡危機事態」，意即日本有權行使集體自衛權，為台灣安全採取軍事行動。此番言論引發中國強烈不滿，中國駐大阪總領事薛劍竟在社群平台X（前推特）上發文嗆聲「要毫不猶豫斬掉你們那骯髒的頭顱」，引發日本政壇與輿論震驚撻伐。對此，美駐日大使也痛批，北京真面目再度曝光。

薛劍的貼文在8日深夜發出後迅速延燒，日本民眾痛批「外交官竟公然威脅他國首相」，要求政府將其驅逐出境。雖然薛劍隨後刪除貼文，但他仍持續警告日本「別再談台灣有事」，態度強硬未見收斂。日本外務省已由亞洲大洋洲局長今井正彰向中方提出嚴正抗議，官房長官木原稔更痛批「極為不適切」，強調外交人員不該有如此脫序言行。

面對外界譴責，中國駐日大使吳江浩10日僅在X發文稱「台灣是中國不可分割的一部分，如何解決是中國人的事」，未直接回應薛劍的「斬首」發言。該貼文再度引發日本網友不滿，怒嗆「這才是真正的干涉內政」、「你們到底在輕視誰？」甚至質問「薛劍的發言是中共立場嗎？」

美國駐日大使葛拉斯（George Glass）也罕見公開發文批評，指出薛劍的行為「再次暴露本性」。他指出，薛劍數月前才把以色列比作納粹，如今又威脅日本首相與民眾，顯示北京口口聲聲說要做「好鄰居」，實際上卻屢屢以威脅手段行事，「是時候言行一致，拿出誠意了」。

— ジョージ・グラス駐日米国大使 (@USAmbJapan) November 10, 2025 在野黨立憲民主黨則趁勢要求高市撤回「台灣有事即日本有事」的發言，高市當場拒絕，防衛大臣小泉進次郎也力挺表示，「政府有責任面對現實情勢作出應對判斷」。雙方攻防凸顯，日本政壇對台海安全議題的警覺已明顯升高。

日本輿論認為，薛劍的「斬首」威脅不僅是外交失態，更形同對日本主權與民主的挑釁。多數網友呼籲政府採取強硬措施，將其列為「不受歡迎人物」並驅逐出境，直言「若不行動，中國只會得寸進尺」。

title: 鳳凰「路徑南修」穿尾時程表　暴風圈將罩南台！登陸4熱區曝

記者許力方／台北報導

中央氣象署預估今天（11日）清晨將發布陸上颱風警報，第25號中度颱風「鳳凰」逐漸向北北東、朝南台灣靠近，強度略為減弱，且路徑有南修趨勢，預估將穿越南台灣。氣象專家分析，鳳凰暴風圈今凌晨開始逐步籠罩中南部陸地，下午至傍晚於嘉義至高雄間登陸、穿越中央山脈，未來12小時非常關鍵，將牽動它到達台灣時風雨大小。

氣象署發布最新一報海上警報觀測，鳳凰颱風目前距離台灣約440公里，過去3小時強度略為減弱，近中心最大風速下降至每秒35公尺，暴風圈則維持大小，以時速14公里速度向北轉北北東移動，路徑有南修趨勢，明天（12日）會從南高屏一帶登陸，並迅速在一天內於台東出海，嘉南高屏4地區暴風侵襲率皆破90%，氣象署最快今天清晨6時許就會發布陸上警報。

▼氣象署最快今晨發布鳳凰陸警，其暴風圈將觸陸南台灣。（圖／中央氣象署）

民間氣象愛好粉絲團「台灣颱風論壇」指出，鳳凰已開始北轉，根據最新預測及推估，暴風圈預計在明天凌晨開始逐步籠罩中南部陸地，下午至傍晚嘉義至高雄間登陸，夜晚至深夜間穿越中央山脈，13日（周四）凌晨於花蓮附近出海，加速往東北移動離開。

台灣颱風論壇提醒颱風登陸熱區嘉義至高雄地區，要特別注意颱風核心移入時帶來的強勁風勢「別因為是輕度颱風就小看了！」另外，根據最新的GOOGLE AI（FNV3）模式系集分析，鳳凰路徑登陸點限縮有到「台南至屏東」之間的趨勢。

由於鳳凰中心附近對流依然旺盛，台灣颱風論壇說明，颱風整體結構維持不錯，強度可短暫維持，不過到了今天白天，它逐漸進入環境條件較差的區域後，風切增強、海水熱焓量降低、乾空氣逐漸入侵，強度會逐步減弱，可發展的時間大約只剩下10小時。未來這12小時非常關鍵，將牽動它靠近台灣時的強度，也影響登陸點附近的風雨大小。

記者閔文昱／台北報導

第26號中度颱風「鳳凰」（Fung-Wong）持續朝台灣靠近，目前位於鵝鑾鼻西南方約440公里海面上，強度略微減弱但暴風半徑仍維持250公里。氣象署預報科長林秉煜表示，宜蘭地區將受共伴效應影響，降雨恐達「超大豪雨」等級，北台灣及周圍海域風浪也將急遽增強。氣象署已針對宜蘭發布降雨警戒，並預告最快將於11日凌晨至上午發布陸上颱風警報。

林秉煜指出，鳳凰颱風正以北轉北北東方向接近台灣近海，過去3小時中心風速由每秒38公尺降為35公尺，顯示強度稍減，但暴風圈仍相當廣大。暴風圈已籠罩東沙島海面、台灣海峽南部及北部海面，巴士海峽一帶作業船隻須嚴加戒備。

▲鳳凰颱風最新動態。（圖／中央氣象署，下同）

最新預測顯示，鳳凰路徑略往東修正，可能在周三（12日）自高屏一帶登陸，整體登陸範圍仍存在不確定性，從台南至鵝鑾鼻都有可能。氣象署提醒，颱風接近過程中，中南部沿海及內陸地區可能出現9至12級強陣風；中部以北、澎湖、金門、馬祖則有7級以上平均風、陣風10級的情況，外出活動務必注意安全。

降雨方面，10日晚間東半部及大台北山區已出現明顯雨勢，未來24小時宜蘭、花蓮、台東山區恐現大豪雨，宜蘭山區更可能達「超大豪雨」等級。西半部山區也有區域性大雨；颱風登陸時，其接近地點將決定哪個縣市出現半天左右的強降雨高峰。

氣象署提醒，台灣周邊海面浪高普遍超過3公尺，南部、澎湖、蘭嶼與綠島恐達6公尺巨浪。民眾切勿前往海邊觀浪或從事水上活動。林秉煜強調，氣象署將密切監測鳳凰動態，一旦路徑確定，將立即發布陸上颱風警報，呼籲全台特別是東半部與北部地區嚴加防範。

鳳凰颱風即將襲台，氣象署10日晚間發布海上颱風警報，預估最快11日清晨發布陸上警報，台北市宣布12個11日里停班停課，消息一出立刻引發網友熱議，直呼以里為單位放颱風假真的很荒謬。

在北北基桃都宣布11日是否放颱風假後，有網友在臉書表示，他剛看到新北市「以區為單位」宣布放颱風假，已經覺得夠荒謬了，沒想轉頭就看見台北市「以里為單位」宣布颱風假，讓他忍不住感嘆「真有你的唉萬安！」

其他網友看了也忍不住表示，「桃園人表示，颱風假來得好突然，沒有心理準備」、「新北市太大了，東北角跟山區及西部衛星城鎮天氣完全不同，但台北市，問號」、「為什麼現在流行放什麼區，里啊，好不乾脆」。

也有網友到蔣萬安的臉書留言，「北北基桃不是共同體嗎，桃園放了唉」、「台北市平民是什麼很賤的人嗎」、「說好的北北基桃同步呢」、「咕嚕咕嚕」、「桃園放了為什麼台北沒放，北北基桃生活圈嗎講假的喔」。

林口長庚醫院10日表示，該院日前舉辦「早產兒回娘家」活動，Q寶在媽媽懷孕僅22週時就迫不及待來到世界，出生體重僅400克，是醫院前所未見的極早產個案。主治醫師江明洲醫師與醫療團隊以「只要他不放棄，我們就不放棄」的承諾陪伴母子走過艱辛的治療歷程。

歷經7個月住院，媽媽每日風雨無阻探望，內心焦慮卻從未退縮。出院後，她更全心投入照護與復健訓練，林口長庚醫療團隊也持續提供居家訪視與衛教支持，協助Q寶穩定成長。

▲「早產兒回娘家」不僅是一場溫馨的聚會，更是一段段動人的生命故事。（圖／林口長庚提供）

進入學齡後，Q寶雖一度面臨社交與語言挑戰，但媽媽以繪本互動與耐心陪伴，幫助他逐步克服困難。如今，Q寶已是活潑開朗、學習力強的小學二年級生，完全看不出曾是巴掌大的早產兒。媽媽感性地說：「只要孩子有進步，再累都值得」。

活動現場同時設有「健康博覽會」，由新生兒科醫師提供醫療諮詢，並邀請物理治療師、職能治療師及牙科醫師進行體適能檢測與口腔檢查，另設「親子共讀區」，鼓勵家長與孩子一同閱讀、互動，促進語言與學習發展，強化親子連結。

桃園市衛生局賈蔚局長於現場看到每一位早產兒健康成長感動地說：「從照片及影片中，看到這些孩子們從出生時僅有幾百公克、在保溫箱裡努力呼吸，到如今能開朗地上學、自在地奔跑，還回娘家來參加活動，真的讓人非常感動。

桃園市婦幼發展局杜慈容局長表示：「每個小小生命的成長，背後都有醫療團隊日以繼夜的努力與細心守護。感謝林口長庚專業的醫師與護理人員，讓家庭重拾希望與笑容。婦幼發展局將持續支持早產兒照護工作，與大家一同守護母嬰健康。」

林口長庚新生兒科江明洲主任表示，醫療團隊秉持「一個都不能少、每位都是寶、個個要健康」的理念，持續提升早產兒照護品質。林口長庚新生兒科於2024年以「重症新生兒全人照護網」榮獲台灣永續行動獎金獎，今年更因致力於降低早產兒腦室出血率，成為全台發生率最低的醫院，並獲得專業社群＜台灣新生兒醫療照護網絡系統(TNN)＞肯定。

記者楊淑媛／桃園報導

桃園市議員楊朝偉10日在市政總質詢中，針對近期台中市爆發非洲豬瘟疫情，深入探討防疫補償、獸醫人力與廚餘處理等多項制度性問題。他強調，防疫體系的每一環都攸關產業安全與公共衛生，呼籲市府應主動檢討相關措施，建立更完善的防疫及廚餘管理機制。

針對非洲豬瘟衍生的廚餘問題，楊朝偉指出，中央自10月22日起全面禁止廚餘餵豬，雲林、宜蘭等縣也陸續宣告永久禁止。建議市府研擬長期廚餘減量方案，並可比照台中模式，分階段補助家戶購置廚餘機，以源頭減量減輕清運壓力。

市長張善政回應，桃園市與雲林不同，桃園以黑毛豬為主，過去習慣用廚餘餵養，飼料要達到與廚餘一樣的效果，飼料成份勢必要調整，配合中央禁用廚餘政策，希望廚餘使用能有安全管道，未來如果恢復使用廚餘，安全機制必須作更好的設計。

環保局長顏己喨表示，家戶廚餘部分，桃園市全國唯一的生質能中心，較其他縣市有優勢，目前就可以處理家戶產生的廚餘，家戶廚餘機經過評估，效益並非很好，除了耗電，處理的量也有限度，骨頭及較硬的物質都無法處理，但可以評估大型集中式餐飲或大賣場餐飲，未來可以集中廚餘處理。

此外，楊朝偉特別點出「校園廚餘」問題的嚴重性。他指出，桃園市約有26.6萬名學生參與校園午餐，每日約產生近40公噸廚餘。中央廚房及團膳學校因份量固定、缺乏彈性，廚餘量更為驚人。隨著廚餘餵豬管道中斷，許多學校面臨存放空間不足、缺乏設備與清運不及的困境。

教育局長劉仲成回應，目前學校與廠商皆訂有契約，廠商必須定期清運，同時學校每一天都有備料，數量只要夠就好，而且班上都會請老師要求小朋友將菜吃光，盡可能把廚餘降到最低。

另針對114年多次出現淹水情形之地點，已請本府各區公所、環境管理處及工務局養護工程處於7日起進行巡查清淤作業，強化排水效能以保障民眾通行安全。並通知各區公所於今日上午10時開放民眾領用沙包，以「最小淹水、最快退水、最高安全」為目標，保障市民生命財產安全。

為預先騰空蓄洪空間，水務局已完成龍山、中原(14A)、大湳、大樹林、西埤、大仁、士校埤及建國同和等8處滯洪池之預抽放水作業，強化緊急調節功能。針對桃園市山區土石流及大規模崩塌災害潛勢區，市府今年度已辦理土石流兵棋推演及實際演練的整備作業(包含復興區華陵里、奎輝里、高義里、三民里、長興里及羅浮里)，並開發土石流保全戶收容避難處所QR CODE及Line Bot疏散避難回報系統，可縮短回報時間，並可掌握土石流保全戶收容避難情形。

市府呼籲市民密切留意氣象與防災資訊，尤其住在低窪地區或鄰近河川區域的居民，應提前做好防災準備。也可下載「水情看桃園」APP，掌握即時降雨、淹水警示及氣象推播資訊，與市府攜手提升防汛應變能量。

title: Honda「S2000經典跑車重生版」問世！2.0升引擎＋機械增壓榨580匹

content_text:
圖文／7Car 小七車觀點

Honda S2000 雖然停產已經整整 15 年，但這款前中置後驅的經典跑車仍在車迷心中佔有不可取代的位置。雖然原廠仍在考慮是否推出後繼車款，但改裝界顯然早已等不及。來自美國洛杉磯的 Bulletproof Automotive 以極高的工藝水準與創意手法，打造出一輛徹底重生的 S2000，並命名為「BP25」，象徵品牌創立 25 週年的紀念作品，也代表這款經典重返性能舞台。

這輛 BP25 的核心在於全新 2.0 升直列四缸引擎，搭配 Vortech V2-Si 機械增壓器，最高轉速可達 10,000 rpm，峰值輸出超過 580 匹馬力。為了應對如此高轉速與高壓縮需求，動力系統採用 Amuse 全鈦合金排氣套件（含排氣歧管），搭配 Injector Dynamics 高流量噴油嘴與 Science of Speed 專用賽車熱交換系統，確保燃燒效率與穩定性同時兼顧。

變速系統沿用 Honda AP2 六速手排，搭配短行程排檔機構與 ACT 輕量化飛輪，動力經由 ASM 與 Drexler 的限滑差速器傳遞至後輪，展現純正後驅跑車的操控特性。懸吊系統則升級為 Top Secret Super Dampers 可調避震器，並混合 J’s Racing、Spoon 及 EVS 等品牌零件，兼顧賽道穩定與日常可用性。

外觀部分，BP25 採用 Varis Dark Panther 寬體套件，全車以碳纖維打造包含前保、葉子板、引擎蓋與後尾翼等空力套件，尾廂蓋同樣輕量化處理。車身塗裝則選用 Lamborghini Balloon White 珍珠白，向 Bulletproof 第一輛 Concept One 致敬。

輪圈部分採用自家設計的 19 吋 BP-RW Evolution 鋁圈，靈感源自日本傳統金屬工藝「槌目（Tsuchime）」紋理，搭配 295/30ZR19 Toyo Proxes R888R 半熱熔胎，背後隱藏 Brembo Pista 煞車系統，前六活塞、後四活塞的配置充分對應其超過 500 匹的動力輸出。

內裝同樣維持極高競技氛圍，導入 Bride RS-G 限量版賽車座椅、Mugen 防滾籠與方向盤，並配有 Willians FIA 認證安全帶。車艙鋪陳以黑色 Alcantara 為主，延伸至儀表台、門板與車頂，營造專屬的賽車質感。

Bulletproof Automotive 表示，BP25 不僅是一輛展示作品，更象徵品牌 25 年來對於改裝文化的極致詮釋。它代表著 S2000 精神的延續，也向過去那個自然進氣高轉速時代致敬。這輛車已於今年在美國拉斯維加斯 SEMA 改裝車展正式亮相，展期至 11 月 7 日止，吸引眾多改裝愛好者與媒體目光。

雖然 Honda 原廠仍未確認是否開發新一代 S2000，但像 BP25 這樣的作品，再次證明這款跑車的潛力仍然無窮。當經典與創意結合，即使 15 年過去，S2000 依舊能以最純粹的機械魅力，再次點燃駕駛者心中的熱血。

▲第17屆重光盃賽外活動花絮。（圖／陳重光文教基金會提供）

記者楊舒帆／綜合報導

2025年第17屆重光盃全國少棒錦標賽10日進入預賽最終日，大會因應鳳凰颱風來襲，決定在今天結束賽程，是賽史第一次未能進行複賽，而來自災區的花蓮縣光復國小因應撤鄉，賽後還得匆匆離開。

重光盃曾在2016年第8屆因大雨未能進行最後一天的四強與冠軍戰，比較TQB（對戰優質率）後由台東縣紅葉國小拿下隊史首冠，另外3強依序為桃園市龜山國小、台東縣豐田國小與新北市興穀國小。

今天上午賽事雖仍順利進行，大會考量選手安危以及外縣市球隊交通，提前取消複決賽賽程，至於原本計劃到大魯閣棒壘球打擊場決定名次的「雨天備案」也因鳳凰颱風急速撲台而告吹，只能待明年再分高下。

光復國小堪稱職棒搖籃，包括前中信兄弟「周董」周思齊、樂天桃猿內野手馬傑森，以及高國輝、羅國華、羅國龍、高國麟四兄弟等都是校友，但學校在9月馬太鞍溪堰塞湖溢流事件遭受嚴重衝擊，部分器材毀損，大多數球員也成災民，無家可歸，只能暫住避難所。

光復今天對決強敵雲林縣文昌國小，首局就被灌進8分，終場1：19落敗，3連敗結束賽程，總教練王國華表示：「我們的球場被沖毀，沒辦法練球，而且遭遇嚴重災情，大家心情都很複雜，這趟可以說是療傷之旅，但現在又要回去了。」

王國華透露，光復鄉因首當其衝，幾乎每位學生的家庭都受到影響，還有小朋友差點被水沖走，「但我覺得經歷過這些，大家更堅強了，以前出來比賽都會緊張，但有什麼比洪水更可怕的呢？」

不僅學生受影響，王國華的鄰居正是曾登上新聞的災民，當時他奮勇捨己救人，至今回想起仍眼眶泛淚，不過他不改黑色幽默，苦笑說：「我家才剛裝潢就被淹了，而且這次有人嫌我沒穿球衣，我也沒辦法，球衣、球鞋都被沖走了。」

雖然賽事抱憾，同日賽後的賽外活動——搭乘貓纜與參觀台北市立動物園行程採自由參加，仍有9隊參與，至少留下個可愛回憶。台中市忠孝國小何至宸繼幼稚園後再訪，他笑說今天最高興就是看到河馬，「因為我姓何，還屬馬，以前的外號就是河馬，希望下次來可以搭水晶車廂，比較刺激。」

他的隊友許樂宸則是喜歡兩棲類，更愛帶有神秘色彩的蛇，「剛剛有看到緬甸蟒，很大條，感覺那個皮摸起來很舒服。」緬甸蟒又稱蟒蛇，是世界上最巨型的蛇類之一，一般長度約5公尺，最長個體可達7公尺，重達120公斤。

title: 你信不信！活塞6連勝站上東區龍頭　康寧漢大秀戰斧式顏扣美技

記者杜奕君／綜合報導

底特律活塞10日以111比108戰勝費城七六人，喜迎一波6連勝，「汽車城」大軍開季至今打出8勝2敗佳績，更是登頂東區龍頭席位。其中，活塞陣中主力球星康寧漢，此戰不僅轟下全隊最高26分、11助攻，還在比賽中上演一記精彩暴力單臂顏扣對手美技，展現新世代活塞少主的霸氣與決心。

身為2021年NBA選秀狀元，9月才剛過24歲生日的康寧漢，在上個賽季打出破繭而出表現，場均26.1分、6.1籃板、9.1助攻，生涯首度入選聯盟明星賽也拿下年度第3隊殊榮，也幫助活塞重返久違的季後賽行列。

本季康寧漢表現依舊亮眼，加上活塞陣容中包括「小魔獸」杜倫（Jalen Duren）、湯普森（Ausar Thompson）整體表現都持續進步，活塞整體戰績更是在東區異軍突起，連同此戰擊敗七六人在內，近期活塞拿下本季最長6連勝佳績，戰績8勝2敗站上東區龍頭。

此戰康寧漢不僅砍下26分、4籃板、11助攻、1抄截，比賽中更在弧頂一次持球單打情況下，左手運球強勢切入，面對七六人內線籃板魔人卓拉蒙德（Andre Drummond）封阻下，康寧漢直接躍起單臂戰斧劈扣，霸氣拿下兩分入袋。

康寧漢完成此次精彩戰斧式顏扣後，也霸氣怒吼並和隊友擊掌，此戰最後決勝時刻，他更在終場前16.9秒飆進關鍵致勝翻身跳投，也奠定最終活塞3分贏球結果。

目前康寧漢開季前10戰平均能攻下25.6分、4.7籃板、9.8助攻外帶1抄截，無論個人表現或是團隊戰績，都開出亮眼紅盤。

樂天桃猿宣布不續約冠軍教頭古久保健二，引發中職圈震撼。古久保帶領球隊本季克服重重難關，最終奪下隊史首座台灣大賽總冠軍。然而，球季結束不到半個月便傳出離隊消息，讓許多球員難掩不捨，隊中精神領袖林泓育也在社群平台發文，深情感謝恩師的付出。

桃猿本季歷經風波，包括食安事件與轉賣傳聞等，球隊士氣一度低迷。8月中，林泓育多次哽咽向球迷喊話：「希望球迷繼續支持我們，別放棄我們。」此後球隊逐漸回穩，透過季後賽期間三次「烤肉會」凝聚團隊向心力，林泓育與林立挺身展現領袖氣質，帶領球隊從季後挑戰賽一路過關斬將，最終在台灣大賽以關鍵延長賽全壘打奪冠，完成球團史上的首座總冠軍。

然而，球季結束後球隊再度掀起波瀾，不僅傳出二軍住宿問題，在9日亞洲棒球交流賽結束全隊集合時，球員正式被告知古久保健二卸任消息，隨即震撼全隊，也引發球員集體感嘆。

林泓育稍晚在Threads上發布影片與文字，剪輯出古久保執教片段，並寫下感性留言：「就像我的父親一樣，撐起整個家，讓我們這些野孩子在這大家庭裡，接受挫敗、支撐成功。我們一起走過1410個日子，學會忍耐、挑戰，一步步走上最頂峰，一起分享所有的酸甜苦辣。」

他感慨表示：「或許天下無不散筵席，但這樣的離別對我們而言是不小的打擊。無所適從的我們，要重新建立這樣的革命情感，確實難上加難。『一日為師，終身為父。』」

該會議是主要的全球平台，致力於討論世界最低發展國家的工業發展。該會議強化了國際社會對支持非洲、亞洲、太平洋和加勒比 44 個國家的承諾。其目標包括促進資金獲得更多資金，促進知識和科技交流，促進貿易，以及陪伴最低發達國家更有效地融入區域和全球價值鏈中。

會議將重點通過三大主要支柱加速包容工業化：投資與融資、創新，以及戰略夥伴關係。討論將探討創新金融機制，以動員本地及國際資本支持最不發達國家的可持續工業增長，同時強調發展金融機構與多邊銀行的角色。議程亦包含關於轉型性工業政策的對話，以實現不可逆轉的脫離最不發達國家地位。這次討論將深入研究設計和實施，以促進最不發達國家的多元化、增值和科技升級的前瞻性產業政策。

活動將以 「創新團結為進步」(Uniting for Progress by Innovation) 的高級會議開幕，接著將舉行高層部長對話，討論如何培養吸引可持續投資、培養創新生態系統和建立包容的工業能力的良好環境。本次會議將探討國家優先事項和全球機會之間的協同效果，強調南南合作、區域整合和公私聯盟的作用。會議將設置互動環節，匯聚私營部門、政府機構與發展夥伴，並邀請專家及政策制定者發表見解。這些交流旨在建立有效夥伴關係、支持科技轉移，並推動對最脆弱國家的可持續工業投資。

沙地阿拉伯將於 2025 年 11 月 23 日至 27日 在利雅德主辦聯合國工業發展組織第 21 屆 UNIDO，藉此進一步強化其國際影響力。本次盛會將匯聚 173 個成員國代表，以及來自各國政府、私營部門與國際組織的傑出領袖，彰顯出沙地阿拉伯作為推動工業發展全球夥伴的核心作用。

高雄市一名薛姓詐欺通緝犯，逃亡仍不知悔改，見8旬董姓阿婆獨居，誆騙是兒子友人，賣慘急需醫藥費，阿婆好心借他12000元後逃逸無蹤。鳳山區忠義里長李朝清提供監視器畫面讓歹徒無所遁形，協助警方迅速鎖定薛男犯案，今逮人將他依詐欺罪送辦。

警方調查，嫌疑人薛姓男子（65歲）涉嫌犯下多起詐騙案件，10月29日被高雄地檢署發布詐欺通緝，逃亡期間仍不知悔改，近日來到鳳山區忠義里，四處按電鈴亂槍打鳥，尋找獨居長輩作為下手目標。

薛男一大早7時許，打扮成工人模樣，透過紗門發現董姓阿婆獨自在家，不斷敲門請阿婆開門，還透過紗門套交情，誆騙是阿婆兒子友人，阿婆不疑有他，開門讓薛男進入屋內。

薛男入內後演很大，裝可憐沒錢看病，需要醫藥費，先向阿婆借2000元，又改口稱錢不夠，還需要5000元、7000元，加碼到15000元，還稱等銀行開門，就去領錢還她。

阿婆心地善良，將身上僅存12000元，全部借給薛男，讓他去看病，不料薛男得手後，竟然一去不回；阿婆事後致電告訴兒子，又求助忠義里長李朝清，才驚覺受騙上當。

忠義里長李朝清第一時間到場關心阿婆，並調閱里內監視器畫面，讓歹徒無所遁形，提供警方辦案，協助警方迅速掌握歹徒外貌特徵，經多人指認鎖定薛男身分。

由於薛男步行進入社區，忠義里距離捷運站不遠，警方懷疑薛男搭捷運犯案，擴大通報多區警網協助抓人，警方今於三民區攔查逮獲薛男，所騙贓款12000元已花光，警訊後將他依詐欺罪解送歸案並函送法辦。

〔記者馮亦寧／綜合報導〕女人當家的時代已然來臨，來自北歐挪威王室的英格麗雅麗珊德拉公主（Ingrid Alexandra），不但是史上「最酷公主」，還有可能成為挪威600年來首位女王。私下熱愛滑雪、衝浪等極限運動的英格麗公主，18歲成人禮時就完成了挪威王室傳統的「皇家後座」飛行，她親自坐上F-16戰鬥機後座翱翔天際，鳥瞰國土山河。19歲時又實現跳傘夢想，在軍方特種部隊協助下從2萬英尺高空高開傘跳下，帥氣指數破表。

英格麗公主文武雙全，已在國際嶄露頭角。（翻攝自IG）

歐洲王室悄然翻開女性當家扉頁，比利時的伊莉莎白（Princess Elisabeth of Belgium）、荷蘭的艾瑪莉亞（Princess Catharina-Amalia）、西班牙的蕾奧諾爾（Princess Leonor）等，紛紛走向軍校、議會、外交舞台，最受矚目的就是挪威的英格麗公主。她不僅參與戰機飛行體驗、跳過傘、還拿過衝浪冠軍，在退伍後還直接飛去澳洲當大學生。

挪威皇室一向以親民聞名，英格麗公主甜美有親和力，更因為長相酷似英國凱特王妃，而獲得媒體暱稱「小凱特」，身上既有皇室的優雅教養且懷抱著鬚眉不讓巾幗的勇氣。

17歲當傘兵，21歲投身公益的英格麗公主，可說能文能武，加上無比的親和力，讓她在各個領域都狂收好評。

1990年挪威憲法修改，引入了「長子長女皆可繼承」的打破絕對長子繼承制，確立女性和男性享有平等繼承權。如果一切順利，英格麗公主將成為自15世紀以來挪威首位女王！光是這一點就讓整個北歐社會振奮不已：這不僅是王室家務事，更象徵著性別平權的新里程碑。

鳳凰颱風來襲，高雄市以12日週三風雨最大，11日週二深夜至12日凌晨逢大潮，嚴防海水倒灌，水利局完成防颱整備，新增正義滯洪池完工，總計排空26座滯洪池，增加滯洪量達499萬噸，並備妥1.3萬多個沙包供領取；水公司也調降澄清湖水位17.3公尺應變。

高雄3日預估總雨量為平地100至200毫米、山區300至500毫米，11日將出現局部短暫陣雨，12日有大雨或局部豪雨發生機率，期間伴隨東北季風增強風力，市區平均風力可達5至6級、8至9級強陣風，沿海空曠地區可達局部9至12級強陣風；13日隨著颱風強度減弱或遠離，降雨將逐漸趨緩。

此外，11日又逢大潮對高雄影響較大，滿潮時間為深夜23時至12日凌晨1時，潮位偏高預估0.75公尺，颱風將推升潮位高度10公分，直到12、13日逐漸轉為中潮，提醒沿海低窪地區嚴防海水倒灌或局部淹水。

水利局完成93處固定式抽水站、285台抽水機組整備，將投入186人進行防汛操作，並於各易淹水地區，預佈133台移動式抽水機，另有15台機組機動待命，將視現場狀況調度應變。

水利局已備妥1.3萬多個沙包等，開放民眾到區公所領取，並排空26座滯洪池，總滯洪量可達499萬噸，以確保颱風期間發揮關鍵性分流與儲水功能，大幅降低周邊積淹水風險。

水利局也將監控山區雨量、土石流潛勢溪流及大規模崩塌警戒區域，一旦達到土石流警戒或經專業判斷高風險，預防性強制撤離至避難處所，以確保民眾生命安全。

氣象署10日晚間11時30分更新颱風資訊。據晚間11時資料，鳳凰為中度颱風等級，位於鵝鑾鼻西南方約440公里處，以每小時14公里速度，向北轉北北東靠近台灣。近中心最大風速每秒35公尺，相當於12級風；瞬間最大陣風每秒45公尺，相當於14級風；七級風平均暴風半徑250公里，十級風平均暴風半徑90公里。鳳凰過去3小時強度略減。

海警區域新增台灣海峽北部，並維持台灣海峽南部、巴士海峽、東沙島海面。降雨警戒區域維持宜蘭縣，受共伴效應影響，有超大豪雨可能。

氣象署預估，若颱風行徑方向不變，週二清晨至上午將發布陸警，暴風圈週二深夜至週三清晨觸陸，週三下半天登陸。預報員林秉煜表示，登陸區域從台南修正至高屏附近，但要持續觀察是否異動，北部甚至從巴士海峽通過都在預報系統範圍內。

風力方面，林秉煜說明，週二清晨到週二下午，中部以北地區平均6級、陣風9級，內陸也會感覺風力增強；雲林以北沿海地區、澎金馬平均7級、陣風10級。週三颱風登陸附近區域，陣風可達9至12級，東半部風力也會增強，沿海及離島留意9至10級強陣風。週四台灣沿海留意9至10級強風。

雨量方面，林秉煜指出，未來24小時雨量預測顯示，大台北山區、宜花地區、台東山區局部大豪雨，其中宜蘭山區可能出現「超大豪雨」；西半部山區局部大雨，平地雨勢不強，但週三颱風接近時，登陸區域附近會有半天明顯降雨。

週二晚間至週三清晨，共伴效應作用區域遠離台灣，東半部雨勢稍微趨緩，但仍有豪雨等級；週三颱風接近，外圍環流替南部帶來雨勢，東部也仍有雨，北台灣留意局部降雨。林秉煜強調，預報尚有不確定性，中南部風雨將視颱風路徑及強度變化而定。

浪高方面，林秉煜提醒，週二至週三台灣附近留意3公尺浪高，南部、澎湖、台東（蘭嶼、綠島）留意6公尺以上巨浪，請避免靠近。

氣象署統計，10日凌晨0時至晚間11時，宜蘭縣西帽山累積311.5毫米；蘭嶼12級陣風，恆春、東吉島、新屋、彭佳嶼10級陣風。


title: 人妻偷夫婿硬碟小三親密照 律師：合法蒐證最好這麼做...

content_text:
曾任法官的律師施志遠表示，我國刑法第359條設有妨害秘密罪的規定，只要無故取得他人電磁紀錄者即該當此罪。以本案為例，S女意外從丈夫的硬碟發現他與小三的親密合照，宜嘗試能否跟監在公開場合取得丈夫與小三的親密互動錄影或錄音，或夫妻共用的電子信箱、汽車行車紀錄器等物有無出軌的事證，避免蒐證違法。

施志遠說明，妨害秘密罪只要無正當權源或正當事由，包括「無正當理由、無處分權限、違反所有人意思、未獲授權或逾越授權」等情，均符合「無故」的要件，實務上常見偷裝GPS定位裝置或輸入配偶手機密碼截取對話訊息、侵入配偶使用的電腦或電子信箱查看，均會構成妨害秘密罪。

但另方面，在刑法通姦罪除罪化後，配偶外遇已非屬刑事犯罪，僅屬民事侵害配偶權之範疇，在無法透過檢警公權力來蒐證的情況下，往往難以取得配偶外遇的證據。

施志遠建議，倘若日常生活裡因查看配偶手機而知悉配偶外遇的照片、訊息等，應先嘗試有無辦法以人工跟監方式，在公開場合取得配偶與外遇對象有摟抱、親吻或一起進入汽車旅館等逾越一般朋友交往分際的錄音、錄影，抑或從共用的電子信箱或車內行車紀錄器中找到出軌的證據。

此外，也可在不張揚情況下，取得配偶同意操作其手機或電腦，並保留配偶同意的紀錄。他認為以此方式取得配偶外遇的照片、事證較為妥適，不僅能作為民事侵害配偶權的證據，也較不會有構成刑事犯罪的疑慮，建議有相關需求的民眾應尋求專業法律意見，避免蒐證不成、反有挨告刑責的風險。

S姓人妻涉從陳姓丈夫的外接硬碟內找到丈夫與李姓小三的親密合照，當作證據狀告小三破壞婚姻。S女卻反遭丈夫控告非法偷取得電腦檔案罪。（外接硬碟示意圖，記者王俊忠攝）

1名S姓人妻於結婚後在陳姓丈夫的外接硬碟內發現丈夫與1名李姓小三的親密互動照片，元配以這些不倫照片當作證據狀告李女破壞她的婚姻；李女向陳男訴苦這事，陳男反告妻子偷取電腦檔案並求償100萬元，台南地院刑、民庭分別判人妻3月徒刑（得易科罰金）、並賠5萬元給丈夫。

但二審法院也認定陳男與李女兩人侵害S女的配偶權，判李女要賠給S女15萬元慰撫金定讞。

陳男主張，他與S女於2007年初登記結婚，兩人婚姻維繫16年，仍於2023年初告吹。之前他與妻子有幾年一起住在台灣北部地區，妻子趁他不注意之際、暗中拿到他所有的外接硬碟，經由電腦讀取到硬碟內存有他與1名李姓女子的親密互動照片及李女的私密照。

S女把這些照片複製到隨身碟、當作證據，控告李女侵害配偶權。陳男說，李女把這事告訴他，他覺得隱私權遭妻子侵犯、擔心照片被妻子不當散布與利用，惶恐不安，提告向妻子求償100萬元慰撫金。

S女辯稱，那外接硬碟是她與丈夫兩人共用，並非無故進入硬碟取得資料。

檢方訊時，陳男稱該硬碟只有他會使用，裡面有約20張李女私密照，他的相簿檔案都有加密。南院民事法官指出，這些照片是陳男與李女的私密照，並無意公開，即使陳男同意妻子共同使用硬碟，也難以認定S女可在未經丈夫同意下，複製取得上述照片；況且S女也未舉證證明那硬碟是夫妻兩人共用的事實。

法官認為，S女暗中取得陳男與李女的私密照，是故意侵害陳男的隱私權，陳男受有精神上痛苦；但考量陳男與李女確侵害S女的配偶權、陳男與S女已離婚，S女此舉對陳男的侵害程度與雙方身分、經濟等條件，認定陳男求償百萬元過高，判陳男可獲賠的慰撫金為5萬元適當，這部分可上訴。

title: 健康網》透視癌友內心世界 醫：最放不下的是這件事

content_text:
兩位精神科醫師發覺，癌友最掛心的問題是「責任」，這個沉重的重擔壓著他們；圖為情境照。（圖取自freepik）

〔健康頻道／綜合報導〕抗癌的心理素質也是要很強大的，精神科醫師陳璿丞指出，癌後心理問題的病人越來越多。他分享與同學也是台大癌醫精神科醫師徐勝駿的對話，兩人都認為「責任」是癌友最放不下的。

陳璿丞在臉書專頁「陳璿丞醫師x析心事務所」表示，在精神醫學會上巧遇徐勝駿，老同學交換在第一線遇到「癌後心理」問題的病人越來越多。

徐勝駿在無數臨床案例中，找到了另一個更關鍵的入口。他緩緩吐出兩個字：「責任」，因為癌友心中說不出口的黑洞：「我的責任，怎麼辦？」。

陳璿丞解釋，過去在西方的心理治療中，病人尋找的是「我存在的意義」；但在我們的文化裡，病人（尤其是長輩）腦中盤旋的，是更具體的焦慮。他們常掛在嘴上的是：「我的責任還沒盡完...」、 「我倒下了，這個家（公司）的責任怎麼辦？」、「我會不會成為家人的負擔？」

徐勝駿也認同，他亦分析有兩種「責任焦慮」：

●異常焦慮型：通常是早期發現、積極治療的病人。他們變得很慮病，整天緊盯身體的細微變化。但他們焦慮的不是死亡本身，而是怕「復發」，怕自己「又成為家裡的麻煩」，怕「花了家裡太多錢」。

●異常消極型：他們覺得自己遇到了「pháiⁿ-mih-á」（台語：壞東西）。他們會喃喃自語：「為什麼是我？我這輩子燒好香、任勞任怨，沒做什麼壞事...」 這種「為什麼是我」的背後，不是對命運的憤怒，而是一種深深的「愧疚」—彷彿生病，是自己「不夠努力」、「不負責任」才造成的結果。

陳璿丞表示，在台灣，與其空談「意義」，不如直接處理「責任」。並在臨床上採取新的切入點，激勵著癌友，情緒平穩地接受治療。

●重新定義責任：肯定他對家庭的重視。但生病不是他願意的。「此時此刻，好好配合治療，讓自己康復，就是你對家庭『最負責任』的態度。」

●肯定他的價值：生病需要花錢，這不是「拖累」。這是「必要投資」。你康復了，對家庭的「長遠價值」遠高於此，這才是「最負責」的表現。

鳳凰颱風來襲！台中市政府跨局處合作，針對梧棲非洲豬瘟案場加固圍籬全面封閉，大幅提升抗風強度，針對案場內的污水處理槽三層加蓋，避免污水外溢，確保案場防疫無虞。

建設局長陳大田表示，經與動保處現勘後，案場採用2.4公尺高甲種圍籬，並於內側增設C型鋼支架，支撐結構以鋼筋打入地面並焊接固定，大幅提升抗風強度，同時以發泡劑封閉下方縫隙，加強防護效果。全長約82公尺的圍籬，一天內即完工。

此外，因梧棲案例場的污水處理槽內仍有未處理污水，雖已加入鹼片消毒，為防範豪大雨造成污水外溢，水利局今天也派員全程穿著防護衣，針對污水處理槽上方開放空間以多層覆蓋方式進行加蓋工程。

水利局長范世億指出，水利人員使用角材及模板作為第一層覆蓋，接著用不透水帆布作為第二層覆蓋，最後再以木作格柵作為第三層加壓覆蓋，並以鐵線及膨脹螺絲輔助進行頂面及側面固定，可降低污水外溢風險，保障民眾生命財產安全。

颱風鳳凰逼近，勞動部今天表示，若縣市宣布停班課，勞工可不出勤，若經勞資合意，雇主應提供勞工通勤協助，勞工出勤時有搭乘計程車必要時，雇主應支付相關費用。

中央氣象署今天傍晚發布颱風鳳凰海上颱風警報。勞動部晚間發布新聞稿提醒，根據「天然災害發生事業單位勞工出勤管理及工資給付要點」，當天然災害發生時，為保障勞工生命安全，勞工應以不出勤為原則。

勞動部指出，如確需要勞工出勤，雇主應提供勞工通勤協助，如勞工依原定上、下班通勤方式（台鐵、捷運、公車等）有困難，而有搭乘計程車必要時，雇主應支付相關費用。

勞動部補充，天災發生時，雇主非必要不應要求勞工上班，但如有業務需要，經勞工同意上班時，雇主不應讓勞工自行面對上下班途中強風豪雨、路樹傾倒或大型掉落物等危及生命安全情況，如上下班途中發生受傷災害，雇主要面對通勤職災相關法定義務。

勞動部強調，勞工在縣市首長宣布停班停課後，依要點規定可不出勤，且雇主不得視為曠工、遲到或強迫勞工以事假或其他假別處理，也不得強迫勞工補行工作、扣發全勤獎金、解僱或為其他不利處分。

雇主因業務性質需要，經勞工同意而出勤時，雇主應提供通勤協助。勞動部也要求雇主應事先在勞動契約、團體協約或工作規則中，明確讓勞工知悉雇主所提供通勤協助內容。

勞動部將持續中央各部會合作，率先由國營事業與公立醫療院所等落實雇主天災通勤協助義務，並逐步輔導公部門勞務委外廠商負起天災通勤協助義務。

title: 蔡英文柏林演說：台灣願與世界分享民主韌性經驗

content_text:
前總統蔡英文今天在柏林自由會議發表公開演說，她指出，威權國家正以認知戰、資訊操弄等手段侵蝕全球民主；台灣深知威脅所在，願與各國分享「以韌性守護自由」的經驗，並呼籲民主國家團結因應新挑戰。

柏林自由會議（ Berlin Freedom Conference ）匯聚各國政要與公民領袖，共同探討如何抵抗威權浪潮復興。前總統蔡英文今天受邀發表演說，她一抵達會場，就有多位民運領袖與流亡人士上前致意，感謝台灣成為亞洲的民主燈塔，現場氣氛熱烈而感人。

蔡英文以「民主國家面臨的威脅：台灣捍衛自由的經驗」為題發表專題演說，她首先感謝主辦方邀請，「相隔近 15 年再度踏上德國土地，能與世界各地致力民主的朋友齊聚，感到無比榮幸與鼓舞」。

她指出，柏林自由週紀念 1989 年柏林圍牆倒塌，這場歷史事件象徵民主戰勝威權， 36 年後仍具啟發意義。「我希望這場會議能激勵我們共同制定策略，讓我們辛苦捍衛並珍視的自由與民主能更長久延續。」

蔡英文回顧台灣民主發展歷程表示，台灣曾經歷數十年威權統治，人民因言獲罪、媒體自由受限，但仍未放棄對民主的追求。 1996 年舉行首次總統直選後，台灣進入民主鞏固階段，如今已被公認為全球最自由、最有活力的民主國家之一。

她說，當世界回顧民主成果的同時，威權威脅卻日益嚴峻。俄羅斯入侵烏克蘭喚醒全球警覺，亞洲與歐洲面臨的挑戰本質相同，包括假訊息、網軍與媒體滲透，而人工智慧技術的進步更讓語言障礙不再是阻礙。

蔡英文指出，「韌性是民主生存的關鍵」。台灣面對威脅時，不是被恐懼擊垮，而是把挑戰化為養分。她說，正是這份韌性，讓台灣成功守護選舉、度過疫情，並抵禦資訊操弄。

她進一步說明，台灣在她任內國防預算增加超過8成，年均成長近8%，是歷來最具系統的國防投資。台灣同時強化不對稱作戰能力，推動全民防衛動員、強化基礎設施安全與後備訓練，並建立防禦假訊息的社會合作機制。

蔡英文表示，台灣的半導體產業已成全球供應鏈關鍵環節，「在人工智慧定義力量的新時代，台灣晶片產業更是全球繁榮的基石」。她強調，台灣願意分享經驗、承擔責任，「我們不把安全夥伴的支持視為理所當然」。

她指出，維護區域穩定與全球安全是民主國家的共同責任。明確且一致地支持台灣安全，本身就是對威權擴張的嚇阻。她特別感謝七大工業國集團（ G7 ）、歐盟、美國與德國聯邦議會近年來的聲明，展現對台海和平的關切。「這樣的聲音讓北京知道台灣並不孤單，也讓台灣人民感受到世界的支持。」

蔡英文說，今天台灣是民主防線的最前線，但明天可能換成任何國家。「加強合作、強化防衛，應是所有民主國家的共同優先事項。」她呼籲民主夥伴團結一致，共同確保自由與民主生活方式能世代延續。

她最後表示，希望「柏林自由週」能像當年柏林圍牆倒塌一樣，凝聚更堅強的民主力量。「台灣與所有共享自由與民主價值的國家，都在確保民主長存的努力中扮演關鍵角色。只要攜手合作，我深信自由社會的未來必將光明。」

據了解，蔡英文此行參加柏林自由會議，象徵意義格外深遠。這項活動以柏林圍牆倒塌、威權被推翻的歷史為名。

當年圍牆倒下時，台灣仍未成為完全的民主國家；而 36 年後，台灣的前總統站在這場以自由為名的會議舞台上，作為重要嘉賓與演講者，代表一個百分之百民主的國家，向國際社會分享台灣如何在威權壓力下守護自由、證明民主的價值與韌性。

台灣前總統蔡英文今天於德國「柏林自由會議」發表演說時指出，台灣晶片產業已成為全球經濟不可或缺的一部分，並使台灣在面對威脅時得以強化防衛與社會韌性。

路透社報導，蔡英文在「柏林自由會議」（ Berlin Freedom Conference ）表示：「我們的高科技產業，尤其是半導體，已成為全球經濟不可或缺的一部分-在人工智慧（ AI ）定義國力的時代，台灣晶片產業更是全球繁榮的支柱。」

蔡英文指出：「正是這樣的作為，使台灣在面對威脅時得以強化防衛與社會韌性。」她還說，台灣願意分享經驗，也願意承擔應有的責任，絕不把安全夥伴的支持視為理所當然。
