The US is doing the dirty work that Latin America’s leaders would notLatin American governments have a chance to help shape a democratic exit that enables a recovery in Venezuela and limits Trump’s influence

Removing Venezuela’s dictator introduced “Trump’s corollary” in Latin America with an exclamation point.

The White House’s updated take on the Monroe Doctrine had its baptism of fire on Saturday, when US forces captured Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro at his Caracas stronghold, decapitating the Chavista regime responsible for bankrupting one of the world’s richest oil nations. Less than a month after Washington unveiled a new National Security Strategy pledging to restore US pre-eminence in the western hemisphere — by force if necessary — Maduro and his wife were on their way to New York to face “narco-terrorism” charges.

Capped by US President Donald Trump’s subsequent vow to temporarily run Venezuela outright, this day will feature in history books for decades.

For Latin America, the episode is a blunt reminder: When divided regional leaders fail to produce homegrown solutions to their gravest crises, the risk that the US will step in — and act alone — is ever present. That risk is heightened by the return of great-power competition and Trump’s transactional, spheres-of-influence worldview. The region now faces the uncomfortable prospect of the US remotely administering a mid-sized South American country bordering Brazil and holding the world’s largest oil reserves, with little regional input.

Reactions among Latin American leaders split along predictable ideological lines. Left-wing governments in Brazil, Chile and Mexico joined Cuba in condemning an intervention that violated Venezuela’s sovereignty. Right-leaning leaders in Argentina and Ecuador welcomed the departure of the hated mustachioed dictator.

Yet both positions can be true at once. Trump acted with evident disregard for international law in pursuing unilateral regime change — but Maduro and his cronies also tempted fate far beyond the odds. They had multiple opportunities to negotiate a political transition. Instead, Maduro chose to steal the 2024 election so brazenly that even his closest allies withheld support in his final days.

He is now likely to follow the path of Panama’s Manuel Noriega nearly four decades ago: ending his days in a jail in the US, rueing having overplayed his hand.

Rather than strongly protesting a historic US intervention on South American soil, Latin American governments might pause to reflect on the many chances they missed to confront the region’s worst political catastrophe of the century. Cynically focused on domestic calculations and commercial ties with Chavismo, leaders from Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to former Argentine president Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and former Mexican president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador were, at a minimum, complicit as a gangster kleptocracy entrenched itself in Venezuela and metastasized into a destabilizing regional force. The moments when Maduro was treated as a peer — as Lula did by rolling out the red carpet in Brasilia in 2023 — or when governments played dumb as millions of Venezuelans fled across borders should stand as reminders of a region that failed to act in its broader interest.

Some will argue that the US risks losing legitimacy by assuming control of a sovereign nation, echoing its imperialist past. That judgement will depend on Trump’s next steps — and on whether he is committed to forcing a democratic transition now that he “owns” the problem. That would require respecting the will of Venezuelan voters and honoring the results of the last election, which showed opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez Urrutia winning roughly 70 percent of the vote.

Do not underestimate the regional popularity of Trump’s move. Latin America is shifting decisively to the right and Maduro is deeply despised. Driving through Buenos Aires this morning, I spotted a young man riding his bike, Venezuelan flag fluttering behind him. Millions share that sentiment. While anti-Americanism persists, societies increasingly consumed by insecurity, corruption and narcotrafficking might — at least temporarily — applaud the American cowboy for imposing some order, even under questionable premises.

In this context, Cuba’s derelict dictatorship might loom as the next domino to fall in a region changing at remarkable speed.

Latin America’s heavy electoral calendar this year will also test the impact of Trump’s interventionist move.

Chief among the many unknowns is how Venezuela will be governed in the coming weeks. Latin American governments retain a chance to redeem themselves by helping to shape a democratic exit that enables recovery, limits Trump’s influence and avoids repeating US mistakes in the region. Instead of immolating themselves in defense of a regime that has effectively collapsed, Lula and fellow leftists such as Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum and Colombian President Gustavo Petro should embrace the historic role they could still play in steering a peaceful and positive transition.

There is much that Latin America can do — from supporting economic reconstruction, which will be demanding, to supplying humanitarian aid and facilitating the return of millions forced into exile in the past two decades.

The Venezuelan people will remember who helped — and who did not.

title: Bulgaria’s euro moment hurt by political turmoil

content_text:
By Slav Okov,Andrea Dudikand Irina Vilcu / Bloomberg

It is hard to ignore Bulgaria’s heart-on-sleeve embrace of the EU. The bloc’s blue flag with gold stars flies at institutions more prominently than in other countries in eastern Europe. Pro-euro billboards paid for by the government dot Sofia’s streets and metro stations.

What is also conspicuous is the predicament that Bulgaria finds itself in as it adopted Europe’s single currency on Thursday last week. The government just resigned, it has no up-to-date budget and almost half the population wants to keep the lev.

The switch is meant to crown almost two decades of integration after Bulgaria joined the EU and then its Schengen customs-free travel zone. The European Central Bank’s main building in Frankfurt, Germany, has been illuminated to mark the transition on New Year’s Day, the latest accession since Croatia joined in 2023 and taking the number of countries with the currency to 21.

However, popular anger over corruption, cronyism and a persistent failure to get a viable government has cast a pall over progress. Bulgaria looks as much like a cautionary tale as a success story.

Protests in November against the Bulgarian government’s proposed tax and spending plans turned into the biggest display of unrest in more than a decade. By the middle of last month, the prime minister had quit and party leaders said an eighth election in five years was now the most likely outcome.

The EU has repeatedly criticized Bulgaria’s failure to improve rule of law and its low efficiency in probing high-ranking officials for corruption.

However, unlike in Hungary, Poland or Slovakia, pro-EU parties have dominated the political scene in Bulgaria, affording them some protection.

“Those parties have consistently leveraged their standing within their European political families as a form of external validation and whitewashing,” said Goran Georgiev, senior analyst at the Center for the Study of Democracy, an independent think tank in Sofia.

In Transparency International’s latest annual corruption perceptions index, Bulgaria only ranks above Hungary among EU members. The EU has delayed some of Bulgaria’s recovery funding on the grounds that the country has not fulfilled reforms related to its anti-corruption commission an increased scrutiny of the chief prosecutor.

Over the past decade, dozens of high-ranking businesspeople and public officials have been probed by authorities. They include former Bulgarian prime minister Boyko Borissov and Delyan Peevski, an oligarch who protesters say is Bulgaria’s eminence grise and who had become the lightning rod for their wrath. Both deny any wrongdoing and neither has been charged.

Protesting against the government in Sofia last month, Elena Ivanova, a stay-at-home mother of two boys, said she just wants fairness. She also lamented the number of people who used their freedom of movement as EU citizens to abandon the country.

Since it joined the EU in 2007, Bulgaria has suffered one of the biggest drops in population in the world, losing about 16 percent of its people as more than 1 million departed.

“I want a country that obeys by the rules and where people who follow the rules will get what they earn,” said Ivanova, 32. “Many of my friends left Bulgaria. I want my sons to remain.”

Ivan Peev, 34, joined the protests in Sofia together with his family since a pivotal demonstration against the budget plan on Nov. 26. He accuses the political elite of theft.

“This time it was just too much,” he said. “This budget showed we just get robbed. Every cent you give to this government is going to be stolen. It has never been so visible.”

The European Commission said the recent political developments have not interfered with Bulgaria’s adoption of the euro, while Georgiev said it would be geopolitical and economic suicide for any future government to try to reverse it.

However, Bulgaria is also emblematic of the issues facing other parts of the Balkans seeking European integration.

Protests against Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic and his government are into their second year following a tragedy at a railway station that became the tipping point for public anger against perceived corruption. The demonstrators, though, show little love for Serbia’s drive to join the EU.

Meanwhile, Albania, where support for the EU is strong, is mired in a scandal over public contracts.

Polls show that Bulgaria is split on whether the euro is a good thing, mainly because of concern about inflation after a crisis wrecked people’s finances in the 1990s.

Bulgarian President Rumen Radev, who is friendly with Russia, pushed for a referendum on adoption, as did the pro-Moscow nationalist party Revival.

The government on Monday last week said that sanctions would be imposed on retailers, local traders and neighborhood food outlets found to have implemented “unjustified price increases.”

Peevski’s informal support for the latest administration helped keep it in power until it was engulfed by protests. Now the risk is more political sclerosis and social unrest.

About 40 percent of Bulgarians want a government formed around a brand new party, according to an Alpha Research poll.

Irina Staneva, a psychology student who attended the protests together with her friends, said now is the time to reclaim Bulgaria’s future as it joins the euro and prepares for yet another election.

“It’s the feeling that someone has taken away something that partly belongs to me and my friends,” said Staneva, 23. “We want it back.”

Venezuela is unlikely to see any meaningful boost to crude output for years even if US oil majors do invest the billions of dollars in the country that US President Donald Trump just hours following Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s capture by US forces

The South American country might have the world’s largest estimated oil reserves, but output has plummeted over the past decades amid and a lack of investment from foreign firms after Venezuela nationalized oil operations in the 2000s, which included assets of Exxon Mobil and ConocoPhillips.

Any companies that might want to invest there would need to deal with security concerns, dilapidated infrastructure, questions about the legality of the US operation to snatch Maduro and the potential for long-term political instability, analysts told Reuters.

US firms will not return until they know for sure they will be paid and will have at least a minimal amount of security, said Mark Christian, director of business development at CHRIS Well Consulting.

Christian also said the companies would not go back until sanctions against the country are removed.

Venezuela would also have to reform its laws to allow for larger investment by foreign oil companies. Venezuela nationalized the industry in the 1970s and in the 2000s ordered a forced migration to joint ventures controlled by its state oil company, PDVSA. Most companies negotiated exits and migrated, including Chevron, while a handful of others did not reach deals and filed for arbitration.

“If Trump et al can produce a peaceful transition with little resistance, then in five to seven years there is a significant oil-production ramp up as infrastructure is repaired and investments get sorted out,” Thomas O’Donnell, an energy and geopolitical strategist, told Reuters, adding that heavy crude produced in the country works well with US gulf coast refineries and can also be blended with lighter oil produced from fracking.

However, that would depend on everything going right, and there is a lot that could go wrong.

“A botched political transition that has a feeling of US dominance can lead to years of resistance,” armed groups of citizens and guerrilla groups that operate in the country, O’Donnell said.

Chevron would be positioned to benefit the most from any potential oil opening in Venezuela, said Francisco Monaldi, director of the Latin America Energy Program at Rice University’s Baker Institute in Houston, Texas.

Other US oil firms would be paying attention to political stability and would wait to see how the operational environment and contract framework unfolded, he said.

“The company that probably will be very interested in going back is Conoco, because they are owed more than US$10 billion, and it is unlikely that they will get paid without going back into the country,” Monaldi said.

Exxon could also return, but is not owed as much money, he added.

“ConocoPhillips is monitoring developments in Venezuela and their potential implications for global energy supply and stability. It would be premature to speculate on any future business activities or investments,” a company spokesperson said in e-mailed comments to Reuters.

Chevron, which exports about 150,000 barrels per day of crude from Venezuela to the US gulf coast, has had to carefully maneuver with the Trump administration in an effort to maintain its presence in the country over the past year.

Chevron chief executive officer Mike Wirth last month said that he had spoken with the Trump administration about what he said was the importance of maintaining an American presence in the country through multiple political cycles.

The oil firm has been in Venezuela for more than 100 years and on Saturday said that it is focused on the safety and well-being of its employees, in addition to the integrity of its assets.

“We continue to operate in full compliance with all relevant laws and regulations,” a Chevron spokesperson said in an e-mailed response to questions.

Exxon did not immediately respond to questions from Reuters.

Ed Hirs, an energy fellow at University of Houston, said recent events in Venezuela would have little impact on US prices for oil and gasoline for now, with much of the country’s production going to Cuba and China at the moment.

He also said that history is full of recent examples of US excursions that did not produce notable results for US companies.

“Trump now joins the history of US presidents who have overthrown regimes of countries. [George W.] Bush with Iraq. [Barack] Obama with Libya. In those cases, the United States has received zero benefit from the oil. I’m afraid that history will repeat itself in Venezuela,” Hirs said.

Oil tankers chartered by Chevron had been among the few to set sail from Venezuela over the past month, following Trump’s announcement last month of a “ blockade.”

That is perhaps where one quick win could emerge, if Trump is able to restart the flow of Venezuelan crude into the gulf coast, potentially boosting refiners like Valero in the process. At the moment, it appears that just the opposite is happening.

DOMINATION:  New York Knicks coach Mike Brown said they did not match the physicality of the Detroit Pistons, adding that ‘they just physically kicked our ass’

The Charlotte Hornets on Monday thrashed the NBA champions Oklahoma City Thunder 124-97, as Eastern Conference leaders Detroit delivered a statement win over the New York Knicks.

The struggling Hornets, 12th in the Eastern Conference, dominated in Oklahoma City, where the league-leading Thunder suffered just their seventh loss of the season, but their second in a row after a setback against Phoenix on Sunday.

Brandon Miller scored 28 points, and Kon Knueppel added 23 for the Hornets, who grabbed 52 rebounds to the Thunder’s 33 and held a 23-13 edge in second-chance points.

Even 20 Hornets turnovers, leading to 26 Thunder points, could not help Oklahoma City, who never led after the opening minutes and connected on just 36.6 percent of their shots from the field.

NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 21 points to lead five Thunder players in double figures, but Oklahoma’s streak of 24 victories against Eastern Conference foes came to an end.

Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said Oklahoma City would not panic after dropping six of 12 games since their blazing 24-1 start to the season.

“We’ll evaluate it as we do every game, learn from it and then we’ll turn the page and try to be a better team,” he said after the Thunder were held below 100 points for the first time this season.

In Detroit, Cade Cunningham scored 29 points and handed out 13 assists to propel the Pistons to a 121-90 victory over the Knicks in a duel of the top two teams in the Eastern Conference.

Detroit improved to 27-9 and stretched their lead atop the East to four games over the Boston Celtics — who overtook the Knicks for second spot in the conference with a 115-101 victory over the Chicago Bulls.

Javonte Green added 17 points off the bench for Detroit, and Jaden Ivey chipped in 16 for a Pistons team without injured starters Tobias Harris and Jalen Duren.

Jalen Brunson led the Knicks with 25 points, but he had precious little scoring support. Miles McBride added 17 off the bench, and Mikal Bridges scored 10, but Karl-Anthony Towns scored just six points on one-of-four shooting, and Ogugua Anunoby made just one of three shots on the way to five points.

“Obviously we knew there was a little extra to this game,” Cunningham said of the first meeting between the teams since the Knicks eliminated the Pistons in the first round of last season’s playoffs.

“But [we’re] just trying to continue what we’ve been doing all year and trying to keep our momentum.”

Brunson kept the Knicks in touch early with 12 points in the first quarter, and New York trailed by just one point after a strong finish to a tight first frame.

However, nine Knicks turnovers in the second quarter helped the Pistons push their lead to 64-54 at half-time.

Cunningham’s 15 third-quarter points matched the Knicks’ total for the period — New York’s lowest scoring quarter of the season leaving the Pistons firmly in control.

Knicks coach Mike Brown said New York did not match the physicality of the Pistons.

“It’s pretty simple,” he said. “They just physically kicked our ass. There’s no ifs and buts about it.”

title: Salah seals Egypt win as they advance to quarters

Mohamed Salah on Monday sealed an extra-time win for Egypt against Benin to take the Pharaohs through to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), before Victor Osimhen netted twice as Nigeria cruised to an emphatic victory in their last-16 clash with Mozambique.

Captain Salah scored after 124 minutes to clinch a 3-1 extra-time triumph for the Egyptians over plucky minnows Benin in a thrilling last-16 encounter in Agadir, Morocco.

Egypt’s tally of seven AFCON titles is more than any other country, but the last of those victories came in 2010, and Liverpool superstar Salah has never picked up a winner’s medal in the competition.

Marwan Attia put the Pharaohs ahead on 69 minutes, sidefooting superbly into the roof of the net from just outside the box after being set up by Mohamed Hany.

Benin lie 57 places below Egypt in the world rankings, but they forced extra time by equalizing in the 83rd minute when Jodel Dossou scored from close range after goalkeeper Mohamed el-Shenawy had done superbly to palm a Mohamed Tijani cross away from his line.

To extra time they went, with Egypt looking to avoid a repeat of 2024 when they were eliminated in the last-16 on penalties by the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DR Congo).

Yasser Ibrahim headed Egypt back in front seven minutes into the extra period, before Salah ended any doubt about the outcome on the breakaway right at the end with his third goal at the tournament.

Egypt will stay in Agadir to face title-holders Ivory Coast or Burkina Faso on Saturday in the quarter-finals.

“Before the game, I said there are no easy teams, and Benin were tough opponents. Egypt are a great team, and I want to make my people happy,” Egypt coach Hossam Hassan said.

Osimhen grabbed a brace, and Ademola Lookman played a part in all the goals as Nigeria comprehensively beat Mozambique 4-0 on a rainy night in Fes.

Atalanta forward Lookman, a former winner of the African footballer of the year award like Osimhen, opened the scoring after 20 minutes from an Akor Adams assist.

Osimhen had started the game without wearing his trademark mask, but restored the face covering before netting Nigeria’s second goal on 25 minutes after a Lookman cross from the left was helped on by Adams.

The Galatasaray forward then scored again from another Lookman delivery just after halftime, his third goal in three games after seven AFCON appearances without finding the net.

Lookman was again the provider as Sevilla forward Adams rifled in the fourth quarter of an hour from the end, as the Super Eagles recorded the biggest win in an AFCON knockout tie since Egypt hammered Algeria 4-0 in the semi-finals at the 2010 tournament in Angola.

“I am very happy. It was a good performance from the team, scoring four goals. There is lots to be happy with. Hopefully we can keep up the good work,” said Lookman, named man of the match.

Mozambique go home, but this AFCON can go down as a success for them after they reached the knockout phase for the very first time.

Determined to make up for their failure to qualify for the FIFA World Cup, Nigeria march on to a last-eight tie on Saturday in Marrakesh against either Algeria or DR Congo.

Manchester City have confirmed defender Josko Gvardiol suffered a broken leg in Sunday’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium.

Gvardiol was one of two City centerbacks who went off injured in the second half, along with Ruben Dias, before Enzo Fernandez scored a stoppage-time equalizer for the visitors. The draw left second-placed City six points behind English Premier League leaders Arsenal.

City, announcing Gvardiol sustained a tibial fracture to his right leg, added in a statement issued on Monday: “The defender will have surgery later this week and assessment remains ongoing to ascertain the full extent of the injury and expected prognosis.”

Before the extent of Croatia international Gvardiol’s injury was confirmed, City manager Pep Guardiola said it “doesn’t look good” for either player.

The extent of Dias’ injury has yet to be made public.

Their absences add to City’s problems in defense, with John Stones out for the past month with a thigh injury, and Rayan Ait-Nouri away with Algeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.

City midfielder Nico Gonzalez also missed the Chelsea game, and Guardiola is also without Savinho, Oscar Bobb, Mateo Kovacic and Omar Marmoush today’s clash at home to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Better news for City came with the return of Rodri, who played the full 90 minutes against Chelsea in what was his first start since October.

The influential midfielder suffered several setbacks, the latest a hamstring problem, while attempting to recover from the severe knee injury that ruled him out for much of last season.

“It’s been a terrible, terrible time for me,” the Spain international said. “Everything that comes right now is a gift, every minute that I’ve been on the pitch, it’s a joy for me.”

“Thank you to God for giving me this second opportunity and to enjoy my profession and recover my smile,” he added.

Ruben Amorim’s sacking by Manchester United has exposed the dismal lack of progress since Jim Ratcliffe’s arrival as co-owner promised a new dawn.

Amorim was the latest manager unable to turn the tide at Old Trafford, which has witnessed more than a decade of decline since Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.

The veteran Scot stood down after winning the club’s 20th English league crown following two decades of domestic dominance gilded by European success.

Since then, United have not seriously competed to win the English Premier League or UEFA Champions League despite a succession of big-name managers.

Amorim, 40, is the first boss to be hired and axed since Ratcliffe took control of the club’s soccer operations after acquiring a minority stake in the Red Devils.

The British billionaire’s arrival in February 2024 was greeted with glee by supporters desperate to see a new face at the helm after years of underachievement under the Glazer family, who still own a majority stake.

Yet hopes that the boyhood United fan could make United competitive again at home and in Europe have so far been dashed.

Just a few months ago, Ratcliffe, 73, said Amorim had three years to prove himself despite a tough start at United, adding that the club would not be drawn into “knee-jerk reactions.”

However, United have continued to drift, winning just one of their past five home games in the league.

An apparent rift with the club’s director of football Jason Wilcox over tactics and transfer targets appears to have increased the pressure on Amorim, who was dismissed on Monday after 14 months in charge.

Wilcox moved into his current position in June last year, taking over the main role held by Dan Ashworth, who lasted just five months at the club in an early embarrassment for the new regime. Ratcliffe has so far done little to suggest he can deliver on his desire to restore a club he admitted “has become mediocre” to former glories.

The club’s ambition to win a 21st league title by the time of their 150th anniversary in 2028 looks less realistic with every passing season.

United finished the 2024-2025 campaign in 15th spot — the club’s lowest top-flight finish since they were relegated in 1974 — and missed out on European soccer for only the second time in 35 years.

Despite a marginal improvement this season, Amorim departed with his side 17 points adrift of leaders Arsenal after 20 games.

The club are still within striking distance of the top four, but cannot afford to lose further ground.

Ratcliffe has been publicly scathing of some of United’s transfer dealings prior to his arrival, but the jury is still out on incomings on his watch.

Joshua Zirkzee and Manuel Ugarte have largely been peripheral figures since being signed under the managerial regime of Erik ten Hag, Amorim’s predecessor.

Amorim was armed with an expensive new front three of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the recent summer transfer window, but they have scored just 12 Premier League goals between them so far.

United’s ability to spend their way out of their troubles is beginning to be squeezed by financial sustainability rules.

The club’s desperate need to return to the lucrative Champions League would have been a factor in their decision to axe Amorim, who arrived in November 2024 feted as one of the game’s leading young managerial talents.

To compound matters for United fans starved of success, Ratcliffe is asking them to pay more to attend games.

At the same time, he has been criticized for job cuts as he tries to restore order to the club’s finances.

Last year United set out plans for a 100,000-seater stadium to replace their historic but creaking Old Trafford ground.

Ratcliffe said the club planned to have the “world’s greatest football stadium,” with hopes it could be finished within five years, though there is major uncertainty over the timescale.

Plans on and off the pitch are undoubtedly ambitious, but they are a long way from being realized.

Casper Juustovaara and Viktor Eklund on Monday scored first-period goals and Sweden won its third World Junior Hockey Championship title, beating the Czech Republic 4-2 in the first all-European final since 2016.

“It was time for a gold, and we did it,” said forward Antron Frodell, drafted third overall by Chicago last summer. “It’s amazing. We’re a big family. We love each other. We did the right things for the team to win.”

Sweden also won in 1981 and 2012. The Czech Republic won their lone titles in 2000 and 2001.

Sascha Boumedienne gave Sweden a 3-0 lead at 3:47 of the third.

Adam Jiricek and Matej Kubiesa scored for the Czech Republic, with Kubiesa striking with 24 seconds left. Ivar Stenberg capped the scoring with an empty-netter with eight seconds left.

“I think Sweden played better from the beginning,” Czech Republic coach Patrik Augusta said. “Our legs weren’t going, and the game against Canada last night took a lot of energy from us, not just physically, but mentally. We were looking for a little spark, and it didn’t come until the last couple of minutes, which was too late.”

In the third-place game, Sam O’Reilly scored twice, Gavin McKenna and Michael Hage each had four points to help Canada beat Finland 6-3.

McKenna had a goal and three assists, and Hage had four assists. Zayne Parekh had a goal and an assist to break the Canadian record for points by a defenseman with 13 on six goals and seven assists. Alex Pietrangelo had 12 in 2010.

HEZBOLLAH, HAMAS TARGETS:  The house targeted in al-Manara belonged to Sharhabil Sayed, a Hamas leader who was killed by Israel in 2024, the NNA reported

The Israeli military on Monday launched strikes on southern and eastern Lebanon, Lebanese state media reported, after warning it would hit what it called Hezbollah and Hamas targets in four villages.

It was the first such warning issued by the Israeli military this year, as Israel continues to strike targets in Lebanon despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

A photographer in Kfar Hatta, one of the targeted villages in southern Lebanon, saw dozens of families flee the village after the warning was issued, amid drone activity in the area, adding that ambulances and fire trucks were on standby.

Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported strikes on four villages.

It later reported a new series of strikes near the southern towns of Saksakiyeh and Sarafand, without prior warning.

The strike on al-Manara in eastern Lebanon caused “the complete destruction of a house, and serious damage to surrounding houses, cars and commercial establishments,” the NNA reported.

The Israeli military in a statement said that it “began striking Hezbollah and Hamas terror targets in Lebanon.”

In two posts on social media, the military’s Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, said the villages were Kfar Hatta and Annan in southern Lebanon, and al-Manara and Ain al-Tineh in eastern Lebanon.

Adraee said the military would hit Hezbollah sites in Kfar Hatta and Ain al-Tinah, and Hamas sites in Annan and al-Manara.

The NNA said the home targeted in al-Manara belonged to Sharhabil Sayed, a Hamas leader in Lebanon who was killed by Israel in 2024.

Despite a year-old ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah, Israel carries out regular strikes on Lebanon, usually saying it is bombing Hezbollah sites and operatives, and occasionally Hamas targets.

Two people were killed in an Israeli strike that targeted a vehicle on Sunday, about 10km from the border, the Lebanese Ministry of Public Health said.

An Israeli strike In November last year on southern Lebanon’s Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp killed 13 people.

Israel said it targeted a Hamas compound, with the group rejecting the claim.

It has also hit Hamas’ ally in Lebanon, the Islamist group Jamaa Islamiya, which claimed responsibility for multiple attacks against Israel before the ceasefire.

Under heavy US pressure and fears of expanded Israeli strikes, Beirut has committed to disarming Hezbollah, which was badly weakened after more than a year of hostilities with Israel, including two months of open war that ended with a November 2024 ceasefire.

Lebanon’s army was expected to complete the disarmament south of the Litani River — about 30km from the border with Israel — by the end of last year, before tackling the rest of the country.

All four of Monday’s targeted villages are located north of the river.

Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar on Sunday called the disarmament efforts far from sufficient.

Lebanon’s Cabinet is to meet tomorrow to discuss the army’s progress, while the ceasefire monitoring committee — comprising Lebanon, Israel, the US, France and UN peacekeepers — is also set to meet this week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy on Monday replaced the head of the security service, continuing a top-level reshuffle ahead of a trip to Paris where he hoped to finalize agreements with allies on how to ensure that Russia does not repeat its invasion if a peace agreement is signed.

Zelenskiy is trying to revamp his administration as the grinding war of attrition with Russia marks its fourth anniversary next month. He is keen to keep up the momentum of US-led peace talks, as well as sharpen Ukraine’s focus on defense if those efforts collapse.

The Paris talks are expected to include the leaders of about 30 nations, dubbed the “coalition of the willing,” which are ready to provide security guarantees to keep Ukraine safe.

Key issues include whether nations are prepared to deploy troops inside or close to Ukraine, and what the remit of any force overseeing a ceasefire might be.

Russia has said it would not accept troops from NATO countries on Ukrainian soil.

Zelenskiy also announced the appointment of former Canadian deputy prime minister Chrystia Freeland as Ukraine’s economic development adviser, describing her as an expert on the issues with “significant experience in attracting investment and carrying out economic transformations.”

Amid Ukraine’s biggest top-level reshuffle in about six months, Lieutenant General Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Security Service, or SBU, announced his resignation on the agency’s Web site.

Zelenskiy published a decree on the presidential Web site appointing Ievhen Khmara, former head of the “A” Special Operations Center of the SBU, as the agency’s acting head.

Under Maliuk, the SBU produced some stunning successes against Russia, including Operation Spiderweb, which Ukraine said damaged or destroyed 41 Russian military aircraft in coordinated strikes on four air bases.

Freeland, who is of Ukrainian heritage and is a strong critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, is a former journalist and Canadian lawmaker.

Besides being a former deputy prime minister, she also served as Canadian minister of international trade, minister of foreign affairs and minister of finance, and helped negotiate trade agreements with both Europe and the US.

The Harvard University graduate has served as Canada’s special representative for the reconstruction of Ukraine — a position outside the Cabinet — in addition to her responsibilities as a lawmaker.

Freeland and US President Donald Trump have had a sometimes-fraught relationship that could work against Ukraine.

In Trump’s first term, Freeland played a key role in negotiating the US-Mexico-Canada Trade Agreement, and occasionally frustrated Trump aides with her tactics.

During Trump’s first meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Oval Office, the president recalled his own antipathy for Freeland.

“She was terrible, actually — she was a terrible person,” Trump said.

title: Holocaust survivor and educator Eva Schloss dies

content_text:
Auschwitz survivor Eva Schloss, the stepsister of teenage diarist Anne Frank and a tireless educator about the horrors of the Holocaust, has died. She was 96.

The Anne Frank Trust UK, of which Schloss was honorary president, said she died on Saturday in London, where she lived.

Britain’s King Charles III said he was “privileged and proud” to have known Schloss, who cofounded the charitable trust to help young people challenge prejudice.

“The horrors that she endured as a young woman are impossible to comprehend and yet she devoted the rest of her life to overcoming hatred and prejudice, promoting kindness, courage, understanding and resilience through her tireless work for the Anne Frank Trust UK and for Holocaust education across the world,” the king said.

Born Eva Geiringer in Vienna in 1929, Schloss fled with her family to Amsterdam after Nazi Germany annexed Austria. She became friends with another Jewish girl of the same age, Anne Frank, whose diary would become one of the most famous chronicles of the Holocaust.

Like the Franks, Eva’s family spent two years in hiding to avoid capture after the Nazis occupied the Netherlands. They were eventually betrayed, arrested and sent to the Auschwitz death camp.

Schloss and her mother, Fritzi, survived until the camp was liberated by Soviet troops in 1945. Her father Erich and brother Heinz died in Auschwitz.

After the war, Eva Geiringer moved to Britain, married German Jewish refugee Zvi Schloss and settled in London.

In 1953, her mother married Frank’s father, Otto, the only member of his immediate family to survive. Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp at the age of 15, months before the end of the war.

Eva Schloss did not speak publicly about her experiences for decades, later saying that wartime trauma had made her withdrawn and unable to connect with others.

“I was silent for years, first because I wasn’t allowed to speak. Then I repressed it. I was angry with the world,” she said in 2004.

After she addressed the opening of an Anne Frank exhibition in London in 1986, Eva Schloss made it her mission to educate younger generations about the Nazi genocide. Over the following decades she spoke in schools and prisons, at international conferences and told her story in books, including Eva’s Story: A Survivor’s Tale by the Stepsister of Anne Frank.

She kept campaigning into her 90s. In 2019, she traveled to Newport Beach, California, to meet teenagers who were photographed making Nazi salutes at a high-school party. The following year she was part of a campaign urging Facebook to remove Holocaust-denying material from the social networking site.

“We must never forget the terrible consequences of treating people as ‘other,’” Eva Schloss said in 2024. “We need to respect everybody’s races and religions. We need to live together with our differences. The only way to achieve this is through education, and the younger we start the better.”

Eva Schloss’ family remembered her as “a remarkable woman: an Auschwitz survivor, a devoted Holocaust educator, tireless in her work for remembrance, understanding and peace.”

“We hope her legacy will continue to inspire through the books, films and resources she leaves behind,” the family said in a statement.

Zvi Schloss died in 2016. Eva Schloss is survived by their three daughters, as well as grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence (AI) tool Grok on Monday faced a growing international backlash for generating sexualized deepfakes of women and minors, with the EU joining the condemnation and Britain warning of an investigation.

Complaints of abuse flooded the Internet after the rollout of an “edit image” button on Grok, which enables users to alter online images with prompts such as “put her in a bikini” or “remove her clothes.”

The digital undressing spree, which follows growing concerns among tech campaigners over proliferating AI “nudify” apps, prompted swift probes or calls for remedial action from nations including France, India and Malaysia.

The European Commission, which acts as the EU’s digital watchdog, joined the chorus on Monday, saying it was “very seriously looking” into the complaints about Grok, developed by Musk’s start-up xAI and integrated into his social media platform X.

“Grok is now offering a ‘spicy mode’ showing explicit sexual content with some output generated with childlike images. This is not spicy. This is illegal. This is appalling,” EU digital affairs spokesman Thomas Regnier said. “This has no place in Europe.”

British media regulator Ofcom said it had made “urgent contact with X and xAI to understand what steps they have taken to comply with their legal duties to protect users in the UK.”

Depending on the reply, Ofcom would then “determine whether there are potential compliance issues that warrant investigation.”

Malaysia-based lawyer Azira Aziz expressed horror after a user — apparently in the Philippines — prompted Grok to change her “profile picture to a bikini.”

“Innocent and playful use of AI like putting sunglasses on public figures is fine, but gender-based violence weaponizing AI against non-consenting women and children must be firmly opposed,” Aziz said, calling on users to report violations to X and the Malaysian authorities.

Other X users directly implored Musk to take action against apparent pedophiles “asking grok to put bikinis on children.”

“Grok is now undressing photos of me as a child,” Ashley St Clair, the mother of one of Musk’s children, wrote on X. “This is objectively horrifying, illegal.”

When reached for comment, xAI replied with a terse, automated response: “Legacy Media Lies.”

Amid the online firestorm, Grok sought to assure users that it was scrambling to fix flaws in the tool.

“We’ve identified lapses in safeguards and are urgently fixing them,” Grok said on X. “CSAM [child sexual abuse material] is illegal and prohibited.”

Separately last week, Grok posted an apology for generating and sharing “an AI image of two young girls [estimated ages 12 to 16] in sexualized attire based on a user’s prompt.”

The flurry of reactions came after the public prosecutor’s office in Paris last week expanded an investigation into X to include new accusations that Grok was being used for generating and disseminating child pornography.

Indian authorities on Friday last week directed X to remove the sexualized content, clamp down on offending users and submit an “Action Taken Report” within 72 hours, or face legal consequences, local media reported.

COSTLY CONSEQUENCES:  Mohammad Abu Taleb said trips to repair his artificial leg and attend checkups cost about US$80 — a burden that his family cannot afford

In the dense hill forests along Bangladesh’s border with war-torn Myanmar, villagers are losing limbs to landmines, casualties of a conflict not of their making.

Ali Hossain, 40, was collecting firewood early last year when a blast shattered his life.

“I went into the jungle with fellow villagers. Suddenly, there was an explosion, and my leg was blown off,” he said. “I screamed at the top of my voice.”

Neighbors rushed to stem the spurting blood.

“They picked me up, gathered my severed leg and took me to hospital,” he said.

In Ashartoli, a small settlement in Bandarban District — the village name translates as “haven of hope” — the weapons of a foreign war have turned forests, farms and footpaths deadly.

Bangladesh’s 271km eastern border with Myanmar cuts through forests, much of it unmarked, as well as rivers.

It is crossed daily by villagers, as their families have done for generations, for collecting firewood or trading.

Surgeons chopped Hossain’s leg off above the knee.

“My wife had to carry me on her back,” he said, gesturing toward the steep hillside around his home, as he recalled the months after the blast.

A year later, Hossain walks with an artificial leg and a crutch, but he cannot return to his job on a rubber plantation.

Needing 300 takas (US$2.46) a day for medicine, his two young sons now take on his former dangerous task, collecting firewood after school.

Similar stories echo across the border region.

“My father and forefathers collected wood from the jungle,” said Mohammad Abu Taleb, 47. “I learned no other trade.”

He crossed unwittingly into Myanmar.

“I stepped on a pile of dry leaves and there was an explosion,” he said, leaning on a crutch. “It took away my whole life.”

His 10-year-old son has since dropped out of school to help support the family.

Taleb said trips to repair his artificial leg and attend medical checkups cost about US$80 — an impossible burden for a family struggling to survive.

Nurul Amin, 23, lost his leg while attempting to bring a cow across the border, a memory blurred by pain.

“They carried me on their shoulders to the hospital,” he said, adding that he was more worried that his monthly income had now fallen to about US$25 to US$30.

“That’s not enough for a family,” he said. “I have no other way to survive.”

Myanmar is the world’s most dangerous nation for landmine casualties, according to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which has detailed the “massive” and growing use of the weapons, banned by many countries.

It recorded more than 2,000 casualties in Myanmar in 2024, the latest full statistics available — double the total reported the year before.

“The use of mines appeared to significantly increase in 2024-2025,” it said in its Landmine Monitor report, highlighting “an increase in the number of mine victims, particularly near the border” with Bangladesh.

Bangladesh accuses Myanmar’s military and rival armed forces of planting the mines.

Guerrilla Arakan Army fighters — one of the many factions challenging the junta’s rule — control swathes of jungle across the border with Myanmar.

More than 1 million Rohingya refugees who fled Myanmar also live in Bangladesh’s border regions — caught between the warring military and separatist groups.

Bangladesh police say that at least 28 people were injured by landmines last year.

A Bangladesh border guard was killed in November last year when a landmine tore off both his legs.

“This cruelty cannot be legitimized,” said Lieutenant Colonel Kafil Uddin Kayes, a local Border Guard Bangladesh commander.

Bangladesh’s border force has put up warning signs and red flags, and conducts regular mine-sweeping operations, but villagers say warnings offer little protection when survival depends on entering forests seeded with explosives, leaving communities in Bangladesh to pay the price of war.

“The population is increasing and people are moving closer to the border, as we have farmlands there,” 42-year-old farmer Dudu Mia said. “Planting landmines cannot be the solution. It can’t go on like this.”

title: At least 35 people  killed in protests in Iran: activists

content_text:
The death toll in violence surrounding protests in Iran has risen to at least 35 people, activists said yesterday, as the demonstrations showed no signs of stopping.

The figure came from the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency, which said more than 1,200 people have been detained in the protests, which have been ongoing for more than a week.

It said 29 protesters, four children and two members of Iran’s security forces have been killed.

The group, which relies on an activist network inside Iran for its reporting, has been accurate in past unrest.

The Fars news agency, believed to be close to Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, reported late on Monday that 250 police officers and 45 members of the Guard’s all-volunteer Basij force have been hurt in the demonstrations.

The growing death toll carries with it the chance of US intervention, with US President Donald Trump on Friday last week warning that if Tehran “violently kills peaceful protesters,” the US “will come to their rescue.”

While it remains unclear how and if Trump would intervene, his comments sparked an immediate, angry response, with officials within the theocracy threatening to target US troops in the Middle East.

The protests have become the biggest in Iran since 2022, when the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody triggered nationwide demonstrations. However, the protests have yet to be as widespread and intense as those surrounding the death of Amini, who was detained over not wearing her hijab.

Iran has faced rounds of nationwide protests. As sanctions tightened and Iran struggled after a 12-day war with Israel, its currency collapsed last month and the protests began soon after.

Understanding the scale of this latest round of protests has been difficult. Iranian state media has provided little information about the demonstrations. Online videos offer only brief, shaky glimpses of people in the streets or the sound of gunfire. Journalists in Iran also face limits on reporting in general, such as requiring permission to travel around the nation.

The Nvidia CEO introduced his company’s ‘physical AI,’ one of many gadgets competing for attention at this year’s CES

Sure, Nvidia, AMD and Intel all had important chip and AI platform announcements on the first day of CES 2026, but all audiences wanted to see more of was Star Wars and Jensen Huang’s (黃仁勳) little robot buddies.

CES is a huge opportunity annually for companies both large and small to parade products they plan to put on shelves this year. And, as predicted, artificial intelligence was anchored in nearly everything as tech firms continue to look for AI products that will attract customers.

NVIDIA GETS PHYSICAL

The biggest buzzword in the air at CES is “physical AI,” Nvidia’s term for AI models that are trained in a virtual environment using computer generated, “synthetic” data, then deployed as physical machines once they’ve mastered their purpose.

CEO Jensen Huang showed off Cosmos, an AI foundation model trained on massive datasets, capable of simulating environments governed by actual physics. He also announced Alpamayo, an AI model specifically designed for autonomous driving. Huang revealed that Nvidia’s next generation AI superchip platform, dubbed Vera Rubin, is in full production, and that Nvidia has a new partnership with Siemens. All of this shows Nvidia is going to fight increased competition to retain its reputation as the backbone of the AI industry.

But once Huang called for two little, waddling, chirping robots to join him on stage, that’s all the audience wanted to see more of.

Meanwhile, Intel announced its new AI chip for laptops, Panther Lake (also known as the Intel Core Ultra Series 3), and said the company has plans to launch a new platform to address a growing market for handheld video gaming machines.

Intel, a Silicon Valley pioneer that enjoyed decades of growth as its processors powered the personal computer boom, fell into a slump after missing the shift to the mobile computing era unleashed by the iPhone. It fell further behind after the AI boom propelled Nvidia into the spotlight.

US President Donald Trump’s administration stepped in recently to secure a 10 percent stake in the company, making the government one of Intel’s biggest shareholders. Federal officials said they invested in Intel to support US technology and domestic manufacturing.

ROBOTAXI GAME

Uber is giving the public a first look at their robotaxi at this CES this week. Uber, along with luxury electric vehicle manufacturer Lucid Motors and vehicle tech company Nuro, introduced an autonomous vehicle with an Uber-designed in-cabin experience.

Uber calls it the most luxurious robotaxi yet. It features cameras, sensors and radars that provide 360-degree perception and a low-profile roof “halo” with integrated LEDs that will display riders’ initials to help them spot their car and track their ride status. Inside, riders can personalize everything from climate and seat heating to music, while real-time visuals show exactly what the vehicle is seeing on the road and the route it plans to take.

Autonomous on-road testing began last month in San Francisco, led by Nuro, marking a major step toward what the companies said is a planned launch before the end of the year.

STAR WARS AND LEGO PARTNER UP

When Lucasfilm chief creative officer David Filoni brought out an array of X-Wing pilots, Chewbacca, R2D2 and C-3PO, he won the Star Wars fandom for Lego.

Lego announced its Lego Smart Play platform on Monday, which introduces new smart bricks, tags and special minifigs for your collection. The new bricks contain sensors that enable them to sense light and distance, and to provide an array of responses, essentially lights and sounds, when they are used in unison.

Combine this with a newly announced partnership with the Star Wars franchise and now you can create your own interactive space battles and light-saber duels.

NEW LG ROBOT

File this one under intrigued, for now.

The Korean tech giant gave the media a glimpse Monday of its humanoid robot that is designed to handle household chores such as folding laundry and fetching food. Although many companies have robots on display at CES, LG certainly is one of the biggest tech companies to promise to put a service robot in homes.

It will be on display — and we assume demonstrating some of its purported abilities — beginning Tuesday, so we’ll have more to report soon.

WHAT’S NEW WITH LOLLIPOPS

Music you can taste was on display Monday at CES: Lollipop Star unveiled a candy that plays music while you eat it. The company says it uses something called “bone induction technology,” which lets you hear songs — like tracks from Ice Spice and Akon — through the lollipop as you lick it or bite it in the back of your mouth, according to spokesperson Cassie Lawrence.

The musical lollipops will go on sale after CES on Lollipop Star’s Web site for US$8.99 each.

Hyundai-owned Boston Dynamics publicly demonstrated its humanoid robot Atlas for the first time at the CES tech showcase, ratcheting up a competition with Tesla and other rivals to build robots that look like people and do things that people do.

The company said a version of the robot that will help assemble cars is already in production and will be deployed by 2028 at Hyundai’s electric vehicle manufacturing facility near Savannah, Georgia.

Delta Air Lines is taking entertainment to new heights as the “official airline” of the Sphere in Las Vegas. The airline announced a new multiyear partnership with Sphere Entertainment Co. that it says will deliver premium experiences to the venue, including a Delta SKY360° Club lounge.

The carrier said SkyMiles members can unlock exclusive access to other experiences at the Sphere, starting during the final weekend of the Backstreet Boys’ residency in February with features including private suite seating, food and beverages. The partnership brings Delta branding to the Sphere’s massive exterior LED screen. Delta says more exclusive SkyMiles experiences will roll out in this year and beyond.

The Golden Globes kick off Hollywood’s awards season on Sunday

The Golden Globes return Sunday. The boozy, bubbly kickoff to Hollywood’s awards season will feature nominees including Timothee Chalamet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael B. Jordan, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Emma Stone.

The 83rd Golden Globe Awards ceremony begins at 8pm Eastern at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California and will be televised live on CBS and streamed live on Paramount+.

Here are more key things to know about the ceremony:

Helen Mirren arrives at the 81st Golden Globe Awards on Sunday, Jan. 7, 2024, at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. Mirren will tomorrow be honored with the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award for a life of work on screen. Photo: AP

WHO’S HOSTING?

The comedian and actor Nikki Glaser will return as host for the second year after a well-reviewed debut last year when she became the first woman to host the show solo.

Glaser didn’t go easy on the Hollywood crowd, but wasn’t nearly as barbed as she was in her star-making performance in a roast of Tom Brady. In her first monologue she called the ceremony “Ozempic’s biggest night.”

When she was rehired, Glaser said in a statement that it was “the most fun I have ever had in my career” and “I can’t wait to do it again, and this time in front of the team from The White Lotus who will finally recognize my talent and cast me in Season Four as a Scandinavian Pilates instructor with a shadowy past.”

Last year’s drew an average of about 10 million viewers, holding steady from the year before. There are far fewer viewers then there were a decade ago, but the Globes remain the most watched awards show after the Oscars and the Grammys.

WHO ARE THE NOMINEES?

Oscar front-runner One Battle After Another leads all nominees with nine, including acting nods for DiCaprio and Chase Infiniti and a directing nomination for Paul Thomas Anderson.

The Globes divides films between drama and musical or comedy in the top categories, and One Battle was categorized as a comedy. Competing against DiCaprio will be Chalamet for Marty Supreme and George Clooney for Jay Kelly.

Infiniti’s competition includes Erivo for Wicked: For Good, Stone for Bugonia and Rose Byrne for If I Had Legs I’d Kick You.

The Danish film Sentimental Value was second with eight nominations, including an acting nod for star Renate Reinsve. Her competition on the drama side includes Jessie Buckley from Hamnet, Julia Roberts for After the Hunt and Jennifer Lawrence for Die My Love.

Male actors nominated for dramas include Jordan for Sinners and Dwayne Johnson for The Smashing Machine.

Grande, Teyana Taylor, Paul Mescal, Adam Sandler and Jacob Elordi are among those nominated in the supporting categories.

The White Lotus led all TV nominees with six.

WHAT ARE THE GLOBES?

The Globes, held annually in early January, are the first major ceremony of the awards season. They’re not exactly an Oscar bellwether — they have an entirely different voting base of journalists and critics — but they’re embraced as a champagne-soaked party with some of the biggest stars in film and television sitting together at tables like a nightclub.

And a Globes win can still help build momentum for a movie or actor’s Oscar campaign, and it’s the first time the public may hear an acceptance speech that may be repeated with some variations for months, leading up to the Academy Awards, held this year on March 15.

LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Helen Mirren will be honored with the Golden Globes’ Cecil B. DeMille Award for a life of work on screen, and Sarah Jessica Parker will get the Carol Burnett Award for her career in television.

Mirren and Parker this week will get a separate Beverly Hilton gala, a recording of which will air tomorrow at 8pm Eastern and Pacific on CBS and also stream on Paramount+ on what’s being called “Golden Eve.”

Mirren, 80, an Oscar winner for her 2006 portrayal of Elizabeth II in The Queen, has also won three Golden Globes and is up for a fourth this year for her role in the series MobLand. She was named a Dame of the British Empire in 2003 in acknowledgment of her artistic achievements.

The award dates to 1952, when it was given to the legendary filmmaker DeMille himself. Other recipients include Walt Disney, Bing Crosby, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Sidney Poitier, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and Viola Davis.

Parker will get the much newer Carol Burnett Award, presented to an honoree who has “made outstanding contributions to television on or off screen.” The 60-year-old Parker, who won six Golden Globes and two Emmys as the star of Sex and the City, is being honored for her work as actor and producer.

The award was launched in 2019, when it went to Burnett. Other winners include Norman Lear, Ryan Murphy and Ellen DeGeneres.

Skating adventures: explore the world on blades and wheels 速度、優雅、對抗！滑冰運動的魅力

Skating is a popular recreational and competitive activity that involves sliding over surfaces using specially designed footwear. Its origins date back over 1,000 years to Northern Europe, where people first strapped animal bones to their feet to move across frozen lakes and rivers. In the 17th century, the Dutch transformed skating into a leisure activity. They also replaced bone blades with metal, leading to the creation of modern ice skates. Today, ice skating is enjoyed as a global sport and an exciting pastime by people of all ages.

Figure skating is one of the best-known and most graceful forms of skating. It combines athletic skill with artistic expression, as skaters execute complex jumps, spins, and sophisticated footwork to music. Figure skating is a staple in the Winter Olympics and other international competitions. On the other end of the spectrum lies ice hockey, a fast-paced team sport known for its physical intensity. Two teams of players use sticks to hit a puck into the opposition’s goal. Another prominent ice skating sport is speed skating. In this race-based event, skaters compete against each other on oval tracks, aiming to cover the distance in the shortest time possible.

Outside the ice rink, roller skating has emerged as a more accessible alternative, especially in warmer regions. It has given rise to its own variations, including inline hockey and aggressive inline skating. While the surfaces and equipment may differ, skating in all its forms remains a dynamic and versatile activity enjoyed by people worldwide.

滑冰是一項受歡迎的休閒與競技活動，人們穿著特別設計的鞋具在地面上滑行。它的起源可追溯至一千多年前的北歐，當時人們首次將動物骨頭綁在腳上以便在結冰的湖泊和河流上移動。到了西元 17 世紀，荷蘭人將滑冰變為一種休閒活動。他們也將骨製刀刃改為金屬，促成了現代溜冰鞋的誕生。如今，滑冰作為一項全球性的運動和令人興奮的消遣受到各年齡層人們的喜愛。

花式滑冰是最知名也最優雅的滑冰形式之一。它結合了運動技巧與藝術表現，滑冰者會隨著音樂展現複雜的跳躍、旋轉與精緻的步法。花式滑冰是冬季奧運與其他國際比賽中的常見項目。截然相反的則是冰上曲棍球，一種節奏快速、以激烈身體對抗聞名的團隊運動。兩隊選手使用球棍將冰球打入對方球門。另一項重要的冰上運動是競速滑冰。在這項競速賽事中，滑冰者在橢圓形的賽道上互相較勁，目標是儘可能在最短時間內完成距離。

在冰場之外，滑輪成為一項更容易接觸的替代選擇，尤其是在氣候較溫暖的地區。它也衍生出多種變化形式，包括直排輪曲棍球和極限直排輪。儘管場地與裝備有所不同，但各種形式的滑冰依然是一項充滿活力與多樣性的活動，受到全球人們的喜愛。

title: 意識形態淪為政治人物算計的權力遊戲

content_text:
我們想讓你知道…民主的價值，不在於誰能把對方打倒，而在於如何在分歧中找到共存的可能，唯有拒絕被意識形態綁架，政治才有可能回到服務公共利益的正軌，而不是淪為少數人算計下的權力遊戲。

▲在台灣，意識形態早已不只是價值選擇的分歧，而被某些政治人物徹底改造成一門「製造仇恨、收割選票」的產業。（圖／記者林敬旻攝）

●宋慶瑋／教育人員

在台灣，意識形態早已不只是價值選擇的分歧，而被某些政治人物徹底改造成一門「製造仇恨、收割選票」的產業。當治理能力不足、改革無力、施政蒼白時，最廉價、也最有效的政治手段，便是不斷操弄意識形態，將社會撕裂成彼此敵視的兩群人，讓恐懼與憤怒，取代理性與責任。有人為此獲利而樂此不疲，有人卻憂心於未來，到底該如何面對，且由紛說。

當意識形態成為失能的遮羞布 民主不再是人民的防線

環顧周遭，常見意識形態的操弄，我們看到公共政策不再是成因或成效的討論，而是圍繞在立場的忠誠與否，不再問「這樣做對人民有什麼好處嗎？」，而是質問「你站在哪一邊？」。

只要立場正確，謊言可以被原諒，失職可以被忽略；只要對方夠壞，自家陣營再荒腔走板，也能被包裝成「不得不然的犧牲」。這不是民主政治，而是赤裸裸的情緒勒索，但我們卻都得承受。

操弄意識形態就是把所有問題轉化為生存威脅，能源、財政、司法、治安、教育，任何需要專業討論的議題，都會被粗暴地貼上意識形態標籤。

反對政策的人，不是被說成不愛台灣，就是被暗示別有用心；提出質疑的專家，被圍剿成政治敵人；要求依法行政、程序正義的聲音，被嘲諷為「不識大體」。在如此氛圍下，理性不再是美德，而是原罪，溝通不再，剩下對立。

當財政失衡、制度空轉、改革跳票時，最安全的做法不是面對問題，而是製造更大的對立，讓人民彼此消耗，把怒氣發洩在彼此身上，而不是找出問題的解答。

對立越深，責任越模糊；社會越亂，問責越難。法律被選擇性解釋，制度被選擇性執行，程序被扭曲與拉扯，只為服務當下的政治需求。今天高喊正義的工具，明天就可能成為打擊異己的武器，而支持者則被要求顧全大局，繼續裝聾作啞。

長期被操弄的社會，公務員與專業者噤聲，只求自保；中間選民被逼到牆角，被迫選邊站；年輕世代在仇恨語言中成長，誤以為政治天生骯髒，公共參與只剩下嘲諷與犬儒，這樣的民主，外表仍在運作，內裡卻早已空洞。

當意識形態成為一切失能的遮羞布，民主不再是人民的防線，而成了權力的保護傘。諷刺的是，最愛高喊民主價值的人，往往也是最頻繁踐踏民主精神的人。

操弄意識形態者最害怕的，不是反對黨，而是一個冷靜、理性、願意追問「你到底做了什麼」的公民社會。如果我們繼續容忍這種以對立換取政治利益的手法，最終失去的，不會只是某次選舉的勝負，而是整個民主制度的可信度。

民主不是用來製造敵人的工具，而是用來解決問題的機制，當政治人物選擇操弄而非治理，選擇分化而非承擔，若社會選擇沉默，那麼崩壞只是遲早的事。

民主的價值，不在於誰能把對方打倒，而在於如何在分歧中找到共存的可能，唯有拒絕被意識形態綁架，政治才有可能回到服務公共利益的正軌，而不是淪為少數人算計下的權力遊戲。

記者趙蔡州／綜合報導

輝達（NVIDIA）創辦人暨執行長黃仁勳將在本月訪問台灣，除了將出席北士科海外總部的簽約儀式，以及參加輝達在台灣的尾牙外，還會跟台灣供應鏈的重要夥伴共進晚宴，再現兆元宴。

根據外媒Wccftech報導，黃仁勳今年1月將會相當忙碌，在結束2026年美國國際消費性電子展（CES）的行程後，他將造訪台灣，參加北士科台灣總部「星群」（Constellation）的簽約儀式，「星群」也是輝達在美國以外的首個全球性總部。此外，黃仁勳還將參加輝達在台灣的尾牙。

所有行程中最受外界關注的是，黃仁勳將跟台積電、鴻海、廣達、緯創等許多在台灣重要的供應鏈合作夥伴舉行「兆元宴」。報導指出，黃仁勳一直以來都非常重視跟合作夥伴保持密切聯繫，因此輝達的產品要求供應鏈每個環節都必須完美且準時交付。

報導最後提到，台灣已成為輝達業務中的關鍵角色，因為台灣佔據了AI供應鏈很大一部分，尤其是台積電等供應商，對於輝達這間全球市值最高公司的未來發展至關重要，這也是黃仁勳將台灣列為最重要的地區之一的原因。

title: 勞工請假新制上路　病假一年10天以下不處分、全勤獎金不歸零

content_text:
▲勞工請假規則新制已於元旦上路。（圖／資料照片，南投縣政府提供，下同）

記者高堂堯／南投報導

勞動部修正《勞工請假規則》，新增「請病假禁止不利處分」及「明確請病假全勤獎金比例原則」，並於今年1月1日起施行；南投縣社會及勞動局表示，新制讓勞工在需要休養治療時，不用擔心雇主隨意給予不利處分，且全勤獎金不會因此歸零，更有安心請病假的保障。

縣府社會及勞動局長林志忠表示，依據《勞動基準法》第43條規定，勞工因疾病或其他正當事由得請假，但部分企業組織文化或管理制度受競爭及忙碌的經濟環境影響，導致雇主可能不願讓勞工隨意請病假，勞工也可能因懼怕衍生遭考績處分且失去全勤獎金等後續不利，導致身體不適、疲憊不堪也不敢請假，帶病上班除造成個人健康損害外，工作場所其他勞動者也有遭病菌傳染的風險，甚至影響整個職場衛生及安全。

社會及勞動處說明，政府已修正的勞工請假規則如下：一、請病假禁止不利處分，勞工1年內請普通傷病假未超過10日者，雇主不能因此而給予不利處分；即使病假超過10天，在進行相關人事考核時，雇主不能單以勞工請病假，而是要有合理的綜合考量；如果勞工因請普通傷病假而受不利處分，雇主對於該處分與請普通傷病假無關之事實，負有舉證責任，即使請病假超過10日，雇主於考核勞工表現時，仍應以工作能力、工作態度及實際績效等綜合因素評量，不得僅以請病假日數作為評斷依據。

二、明確請病假全勤獎金比例原則，為避免雇主利用全勤奬金制度，對勞工請普通傷病假而扣發其全數之全勤奬金，請病假扣發全勤獎金部分，以按請病假日數依比例計算為最低標準；例如全勤獎金3000元，該月30天請1天病假只能扣100元（即3000元*1/30），還是能領到2900元的全勤獎金。

林志忠提醒，依勞動部公告自元旦起，每月最低工資為2萬9500元，每小時最低工資為196元；如果雇主因新請假制度上路而調整勞動契約工資結構，例如將全勤獎金調整併入其他報酬項目，或取消全勤獎金等，除應與勞工協商並取得同意後才可辦理，也應一併注意最低工資規定。

▲金色三麥為台灣知名精釀啤酒品牌。（圖／資料照）

記者許力方／綜合報導

台灣知名精釀啤酒「金色三麥」董事長兼執行長葉冠廷5日分享，自家人氣蜂蜜啤酒在日本伊勢丹上架，沒想到網友一比對換算日幣價格後竟比台灣售價便宜15元，在社群造成大炎上。葉冠廷親上火線解釋，是因日本促銷與匯率問題，網友仍不買單，還被網紅Cheap酸爆「騙誰啊」、「簡單說就是吃定你台灣人」。

「這份驕傲，屬於台灣。」葉冠廷5日透過Threads發文，分享啤酒在伊勢丹上架的照片，拍下了日本售價549日圓，眼尖網友比對發現，經換算台幣在日本只賣約110元，但台灣卻要賣125元，引發熱烈討論。葉冠廷刪除文章，親上火線回應，「我可以理解大家會覺得台灣品牌在原產地應該更優惠，未來我們也會重新檢討各市場的定價策略。」

葉冠廷指出，金色三麥在2021年進駐日本伊勢丹百貨，是希望讓更多國際消費者認識來自台灣的釀造品質，日本市場在不同通路與檔期，也會有各自的促銷與價格呈現方式。

▲董事長葉冠廷PO文稱「台灣驕傲」，被發現日本賣比較便宜。（圖／翻攝網路）

隨後金色三麥也發出官方聲明回應，再度提及日本市場售價不僅依通路檔期調整，另也因匯率換算問題，價格呈現落差，加上不同國家通路、稅制與營運成本的差異，影響最終售價。

對此回應網友絲毫不買單，留言「少來了，在你們眼裡，台灣人本來就是盤子，對員工更是摳到極致！」「真的是台灣慣老闆無誤」、「支持台灣品牌就是作賤自己」、「坑自己人」。

網紅Cheap更是發文猛酸「好大的盤子」，官方回應「騙誰啊？感覺智商被羞辱了…」不用繳台灣的菸酒稅，但要繳日本的酒稅，日幣貶值沒錯，但跨海運費、倉儲、進口關稅、日本通路代理商、批發商等加一加還比較便宜？簡單來說，就是吃定台灣人，在台灣敢賣這個價，因為你買單、所以他敢賣。

title: 禁區守不住！勇士慘輸領航猿21分　主帥吳永仁說周日再戰前一定要破解

記者蔡厚瑄／台北報導

臺北富邦勇士今在主場以97比118不敵聯盟龍頭桃園璞園領航猿，不僅慘吞本季對戰3連敗，分差更來到21分，賽後勇士教練與球員均直言防守端出了極大問題，尤其是禁區失分過多與防守節奏失控，成為致敗主因，總教練吳永仁也強調，必須在週日的再次對戰前找出限制對手進攻的方法。

總教練吳永仁在賽後記者會中首先肯定了球隊在籃板球上的努力，他指出：「跟前幾場相比，我們今天的籃板確實有很大的進步，這點是值得肯定的。」然而，對於整體防守表現，吳永仁則給出嚴厲評價，他認為球隊完全沒辦法限制住領航猿的得分火力，無論是外線三分球還是兩分球，特別是在禁區的防守幾乎失靈，讓對方在禁區拿走過多分數。

「禁區得分真的丟了非常多，這是非常嚴重的問題。」吳永仁表示，球隊週日將再次與領航猿交手，教練團會利用這幾天的空檔重新制定防守策略，希望能成功復仇。

周桂羽則指出，防守端的崩盤導致團隊無法打出應有的球風，「主要還是在防守上沒辦法限制住對方，這造成我們很大的困擾，如果防守守不住，就沒辦法打出我們要的進攻節奏。」他強調，全隊必須在週日賽前想辦法做出具體調整，找回球隊的節奏感。

本土長人曾祥鈞則詳細分析了場上的戰略失誤，他認為策略執行不夠到位，特別是讓領航猿投進過多空檔三分球，曾祥鈞坦言，勇士目前在高度上確實略顯劣勢，因此他將保護籃板視為首要任務，希望能幫助球隊在轉換快攻上取得主動，今他在首節就狂抓9籃板，刷新個人單節紀錄，雖然莫巴耶回歸減輕了他在禁區的負擔，讓他能更積極參與進攻，但連日征戰導致體能出現負荷，「今天在進攻端的出手感覺稍顯疲勞，可能是體能方面的負擔，這也是我必須趕快調整的部分。」

▲魚池鄉首座小規模多機能長照整合型服務場館於頭社動工。（圖／南投縣政府提供，下同）

記者高堂堯／南投報導

南投縣政府因應長者照顧需求，並配合衛福部長照「一國中學區一日照」政策，積極推動長期照顧資源布建，將斥資近8000萬元興建「魚池鄉頭社村長照整合型服務場館」，預計於117年竣工後，將是該鄉首座具備「小規模多機能（臨時夜間住宿）」服務的長照場館。

該長照整合型服務場館動土典禮於1月3日在魚池鄉頭社村舉辦，副縣長王瑞德到場主持並進行祈福祭拜及動土儀式，祈求工程順利；衛福部長照司副司長吳希文，縣議議員王秋淑、陳淑惠、林芳伃、林儒暘，魚池鄉長劉啟帆、魚池鄉民代表會副主席王若嵐及多位鄉民代表、多位村長及鄉親們近百人都齊聚見證。

王瑞德致詞時表示，該場館原由縣府向中央爭取補助4601萬元，由鄉公所執行，但公所因財力有限，加上物價上漲、經費不足，計畫一度面臨停擺；縣長許淑華於113年9月實地會勘後，指示由縣府社會及勞動局接手主辦，縣府再自籌約3380萬元，才讓本計畫能如期推動。

社會及勞動局表示，該場館為一棟3層樓建物，總樓地板面積1088.52平方公尺，1樓為C級巷弄長照站及居家式長照機構，健康長者能就近參與延緩失能活動、又可讓受過專業訓練的照顧服務員就近到家中協助失能者；2至3樓為小規模多機能長照機構，除可提供60名長輩日間照顧服務，亦提供失能或失智長輩每個月最多15天臨時夜間住宿服務。

根據縣府最新人口統計，截至114年11月底總人口數為46萬8162人，其中65歲以上達10萬5805人，而魚池鄉總人口數為1萬4111人，其中65歲以上有3682人，老化指數高達346.70、高於全縣平均，意即每1位幼年人口背後，就有3位長者需要照顧；社勞處說明，該場館具備的夜間臨時住宿照顧服務，讓年輕子女能喘口氣、放心在外面打拚，也讓長輩在熟悉的家鄉生活，得以在地老化、在地安養。

大陸35歲女星趙櫻子在2013年因演出電視劇《因為愛情有多美》中「林多美」一角走紅，2022年參加《乘風破浪第三季》（浪姐3）也成為話題人物。她近日在直播中大方回應整形傳聞，承認自己「換過臉」，引發網友熱議。

▲趙櫻子先前經常被說和以前「長得不一樣」。（圖／翻攝自微博）

趙櫻子坦言，當年之所以動了整形的念頭，是因為在社群平台還不發達的年代，她根本聽不到粉絲的讚美。趙櫻子感慨地說，當時的觀眾年紀還小，沒有手機可以交流，雖然大家在電視機前覺得「多美真美」，但這些聲音始終沒能傳到她耳中。

▲趙櫻子回應整形的原因。（圖／翻攝自微博）

再加上當時缺乏宣傳，趙櫻子因而對自己的長相缺乏信心。她也幽默地將外貌升級比喻為交通工具的更替，直言當時拍戲賺了點錢，便動了「換門面」的心思，「不得從自行車換成跑車呀？我也想換一下。」她認為自己只是想跟上「科技與狠活」的時代步伐，讓自己變得更完美。

不同於許多藝人對整形話題避之唯恐不及，趙櫻子在直播中表現得極為坦蕩，還直言自己不需要像別人那樣拚命證明沒動過刀，「人生短短三萬天，真實一點不好嗎？do了就do了，沒什麼大不了。」認為追求美是個人的權利，不是什麼傷天害理的事，不需要被貼上負面標籤。

空軍飛官辛柏毅上尉6日晚間駕駛F-16戰機執行例行性訓練任務，在花蓮縣豐濱鄉東面10海浬海域突緊急彈射，行蹤不明，目前軍方、空勤總隊及海巡署均投入機、艦全力展開搜救行動，海巡署艦艇在漆黑的大海中破浪趕赴事發地點的影片也在網路上曝光。

海委會主委管碧玲6日晚間在臉書表示，花蓮海巡隊10095艇稍早已趕到現場，並施放海難測流浮標，希望能盡快找到辛飛官。影片可以看見，夜晚的大海漆黑一片，海巡署艦艇在洶湧的海浪中不斷前進，前方只能看見探照燈照出的微小區域。

海巡署緊急出動3艦6艇搜救 並聯繫周邊漁船、貨輪共同協尋

空軍F-16失事後，管碧玲第一時間在高雄上線，全程掌握救援進度，海巡署則由署長主持，開設應變中心指揮調度3艦6艇，全力投入海上搜救行動，10095、10078兩艘巡防艇趕到後，已立即施放海難測流浮標，並結合「搜救優選規劃系統」預測位置，掌握海流漂流方向，全面部署艦艇搜救責任區。

海巡署透露，現場海域受大陸冷氣團影響，海象極為惡劣，風力達 6 至 7 級、陣風 9 級，浪高 3 公尺，且入夜後氣溫驟降，海巡同仁仍全力與空中能量緊密配合，冒著低溫巨浪與時間賽跑，全力投入救援行動。

為擴大搜救範圍，海巡署同步聯繫距現場 10 海浬之馬紹爾籍貨輪協助瞭望，並請農業部漁業署呼叫周邊作業漁船共同協尋。海巡署強調，將持續與國防部及各搜救單位投入搜救行動，希望能盡早傳回好消息。

記者蔡厚瑄／台北報導

PLG龍頭桃園璞園領航猿6日客場挑戰台北富邦勇士，展現出恐怖的團隊戰力，儘管剛從澳門結束東超（EASL）賽事返台、準備時間極短，領航猿仍憑藉著3名洋將合砍65分，搭配盧峻翔、李家慷以及創下生涯新高的陳將双多點開花，以21分之差擊敗勇士。不過賽後猿隊總教練卡米諾斯（Iurgi Caminos）不忘點名白曜誠，認為他在防守端有極大貢獻，甚至直言他是「全亞洲最頂尖防守者之一」。

領航猿4日飛往澳門在東超賽事擊敗灰熊，昨天才剛回到台灣，今天就馬上來到勇士踢館，不過即使舟車勞頓，猿隊此役團隊命中率仍有47.3%，單場全隊還砍進16顆三分球，豪取6連勝，開季迄今仍舊維持不敗金身。

主帥卡米諾斯指出，雖然昨日才剛從中國打完東超賽事返台，且沒有太多時間針對此戰做特定準備，但球員展現了極佳的戰術執行力。

「不論對手變換區域防守、盯人、或是 Box-and-one，我們在心態上都比較冷靜，能夠閱讀對方的防守並進行進攻，這點非常棒。」卡總表示。領航猿在上半場一度領先達20分，雖在次節因快攻失誤稍有失控，讓勇士射手辛特力（Michael Singletary）進球追分，但下半場靠著李家慷在對方區域防守時投進多顆關鍵三分球，成功穩住軍心。

只是同時他也對於場上的吹判感到有些困惑，並舉例盧峻翔全場保持高強度的侵略性切入，卻僅獲得2次罰球，反觀對方有球員（指古德溫）獲得了高達16次罰球，這種落差令他感到不解，但他也慶幸球隊最終能靠著實力克服這一切。

而他也特別點名讚許後衛白曜誠，說道「我不希望大家忘記白曜誠，雖然他在數據表現沒有那麼亮眼，得分只有4分，但兩天前他在東超守死了黑熊當家砍將崇貴，今天又限制住了剛刷新PLG單場得分新紀錄的古德溫（Archie Goodwin），讓對方打得很不舒服，但他現在絕對是全亞洲最頂尖的控球後衛防守者之一。」

而受矚目的新星陳將双，此役展現高效進攻，進帳14分刷新個人職業生涯單場得分紀錄，賽後他將進步歸功於教練團與隊友給予的信心，讓他能在場上放手發揮，也特別感謝隊友李家慷、白曜誠在關鍵時刻能從攻守兩端挺身而出。

至於總能對手在追分時投進關鍵球穩住軍心，最後還直接用兩記三分球「殺死比賽」的李家慷，賽後則說，「其實我們從開賽到結束都打得很團隊，不管對方的防守變換是什麼，都能應對得很快，中間雖然一度被追回比分，但我們在進攻時也都能把握住機會，防守跟進攻上都做得滿好的。」

短今在文中無奈表示，最近發現自己竟然「一直在大量掉睫毛」，原本以為只是單純的代謝週期，沒想到脫落的情況愈發嚴重，仔細一照鏡子才驚見「右眼中段全部失蹤了」，原本濃密的睫毛出現明顯缺角。

面對睫毛脫落且遲遲未見好轉，短今趕緊前往診所尋求專業協助。她在文中透露，直到「昨天看眼科才知道是眼瞼發炎」，這個診斷結果讓她相當意外與錯愕。醫師進一步告知，這並非一時的突發性感染，而是一種累積性的「慢性疾病」，且病灶其實「已經一段時間了。」

我們想讓你知道…民主的價值，不在於誰能把對方打倒，而在於如何在分歧中找到共存的可能，唯有拒絕被意識形態綁架，政治才有可能回到服務公共利益的正軌，而不是淪為少數人算計下的權力遊戲。

●宋慶瑋／教育人員

在台灣，意識形態早已不只是價值選擇的分歧，而被某些政治人物徹底改造成一門「製造仇恨、收割選票」的產業。當治理能力不足、改革無力、施政蒼白時，最廉價、也最有效的政治手段，便是不斷操弄意識形態，將社會撕裂成彼此敵視的兩群人，讓恐懼與憤怒，取代理性與責任。有人為此獲利而樂此不疲，有人卻憂心於未來，到底該如何面對，且由紛說。

當意識形態成為失能的遮羞布 民主不再是人民的防線

環顧周遭，常見意識形態的操弄，我們看到公共政策不再是成因或成效的討論，而是圍繞在立場的忠誠與否，不再問「這樣做對人民有什麼好處嗎？」，而是質問「你站在哪一邊？」。

只要立場正確，謊言可以被原諒，失職可以被忽略；只要對方夠壞，自家陣營再荒腔走板，也能被包裝成「不得不然的犧牲」。這不是民主政治，而是赤裸裸的情緒勒索，但我們卻都得承受。

操弄意識形態就是把所有問題轉化為生存威脅，能源、財政、司法、治安、教育，任何需要專業討論的議題，都會被粗暴地貼上意識形態標籤。

反對政策的人，不是被說成不愛台灣，就是被暗示別有用心；提出質疑的專家，被圍剿成政治敵人；要求依法行政、程序正義的聲音，被嘲諷為「不識大體」。在如此氛圍下，理性不再是美德，而是原罪，溝通不再，剩下對立。

當財政失衡、制度空轉、改革跳票時，最安全的做法不是面對問題，而是製造更大的對立，讓人民彼此消耗，把怒氣發洩在彼此身上，而不是找出問題的解答。

對立越深，責任越模糊；社會越亂，問責越難。法律被選擇性解釋，制度被選擇性執行，程序被扭曲與拉扯，只為服務當下的政治需求。今天高喊正義的工具，明天就可能成為打擊異己的武器，而支持者則被要求顧全大局，繼續裝聾作啞。

長期被操弄的社會，公務員與專業者噤聲，只求自保；中間選民被逼到牆角，被迫選邊站；年輕世代在仇恨語言中成長，誤以為政治天生骯髒，公共參與只剩下嘲諷與犬儒，這樣的民主，外表仍在運作，內裡卻早已空洞。

當意識形態成為一切失能的遮羞布，民主不再是人民的防線，而成了權力的保護傘。諷刺的是，最愛高喊民主價值的人，往往也是最頻繁踐踏民主精神的人。

操弄意識形態者最害怕的，不是反對黨，而是一個冷靜、理性、願意追問「你到底做了什麼」的公民社會。如果我們繼續容忍這種以對立換取政治利益的手法，最終失去的，不會只是某次選舉的勝負，而是整個民主制度的可信度。

民主不是用來製造敵人的工具，而是用來解決問題的機制，當政治人物選擇操弄而非治理，選擇分化而非承擔，若社會選擇沉默，那麼崩壞只是遲早的事。

民主的價值，不在於誰能把對方打倒，而在於如何在分歧中找到共存的可能，唯有拒絕被意識形態綁架，政治才有可能回到服務公共利益的正軌，而不是淪為少數人算計下的權力遊戲。

title: 林進砸17萬遊哈爾濱踩雷！住B1房、沒熱水　怒槓導遊遭嗆不男不女

content_text:
記者蔡宜芳／綜合報導

網紅林進以拍攝無厘頭的搞笑拍片走紅，也經常分享旅遊影片。他在日前飛往哈爾濱旅遊，本想在銀白世界享受夢幻假期，沒想到竟遇上「地獄級導遊」，讓他氣到在社群大吐苦水。

▲林進和男友、朋友去哈爾濱旅遊，沒想到卻大踩雷。（圖／翻攝自Instagram／lingin1209）

林進透露，這趟旅程的團費一人是人民幣6580元（約新台幣3萬169元），6人團費打底就花了17萬台幣，後續還要額外支付遊樂園與雪服租借費。然而，林進憤怒控訴，原本以為是包車行程，最後卻得搭捷運、走路，導遊接送延遲一個半小時連一句道歉都沒有，甚至連天池、畫廊等預定景點沒去也不退費，更扯的是，導遊帶去的餐廳價格竟然翻了兩倍以上。

關於這次的住宿安排，林進細數這幾天的房型，第一、二天住在像《寄生上流》般的B1房，叫外送竟然要等一小時；第三天在雪鄉更是六個人擠四人房，不僅沒風景，連枕頭和水都要三催四請才補齊。更慘的是，第四天住進「亞布力停車場房」，不僅洗澡沒熱水，連餐具都髒到不行。最後一天說要升級房型，結果房間裡充滿了「翹翹板磁磚、搖搖馬桶、歪頭床頭燈」，淋浴間發霉，且桌上全是灰塵，「再補充一下，洗澡水量像阿公滴尿一樣。那幾天過著把行李拿出來，睡前再收回去的日子，超充實。」

▲林進控訴導遊不專業。（圖／翻攝自Instagram／lingin1209）

對於該導遊自稱「服務周到」、「幫客戶穿雪鞋」，反控林進難搞，林進指出，導遊不僅沒替他準備好雪鞋，還租了一個尺寸完全不對的雙板，所謂的「全程幫助拍視頻（影片）」也是胡扯。林進說，那幾天為了避開導遊推薦的餐廳，大家都過得戰戰兢兢，如果不反抗，「旅費絕對創新高」，甚至連長白山溫泉酒店也因為導遊沒提醒要帶泳裝，導致一行人根本沒泡到溫泉，專業度徹底失蹤。

最讓林進無法忍受的，是事後導遊竟然對他進行人身攻擊與造謠。林進在貼文中痛批導遊：「現在給我扯不男不女？噁心死！你的不專業才讓人更反胃！」無法接受對方因為專業度不足被指責後，卻拿他的性取向做文章。這段慘痛的經驗公開後，也引發網友熱烈討論，不少人替他打抱不平，認為花了17萬台幣卻換來這種待遇，簡直是把遊客當肥羊在宰。

title: 飛官辛柏毅恐因「空間迷向」失聯！NBA球星Kobe墜機是慘痛教訓

taiwan-subdivisions: 成功 花蓮

countries: 美國 海地 中非

content_text:
花蓮空軍基地一架F-16V單座戰機（機號6700）週二（6日）夜航訓練失聯，飛官辛柏毅上尉疑跳傘逃生，國軍正展開海空救援。空軍目前尚未公布發生意外的原因，但很有可能是被稱為「飛官殺手」的「空間迷向」所致。

空間迷向（Spatial Disorientation，SD）是飛行中非常危險、但又很常見的人因問題，特別容易出現在軍機、夜航或惡劣天候飛行時。用白話文來說，空間迷向指的是飛行員「感覺自己在怎麼飛」，但實際姿態與飛機的飛行狀態不一致。因為人類是地面上活動的動物，不像鳥類可以飛行，可以在三度空間做移動，當人類利用科技飛上天空，人類與生俱來的感官系統，並沒有辦法在三度空間做正確的定位，因此造成對空間環境的判斷錯誤，產生飛行錯覺。

前空軍司令部軍醫組組長江國超就曾表示，人類對環境的認知有90%來自視覺，白天相較於夜晚不太容易發生，但是入夜能見度變低，或是飛行進雲、起大霧，因為視覺訊息不足，飛行員沒有辦法對空間環境做定位，若這個時候飛行員沒有依據儀表板做判斷，或是請航管引導，以錯誤的空間定向去飛行，就稱為空間迷向，就可能發生飛行事故。

最著名的空間迷向失事案例，就是已故NBA球星科比布萊恩（Kobe Bryant）墜機事件。科比2020年1月搭乘直升機墜機身亡，美國國家運輸安全委員會（NTSB）後續釋出調查報告指出，失事直升機的飛行員佐巴揚（Ara Zobayan）雖具「儀器飛行」 （Instrument Flight，僅透過機上儀表板決定飛行高度與速度）的能力，但他在濃厚的雲層中仍選擇相信自己，採取「目視飛行」（Visual Flight），當時他告訴航管，稱其駕駛的直升機正在爬升，但實際上是在下降，結果就撞上山壁。

另外，此次F-16V失聯事故與2020年11月17日蔣正志上校（後追晉為少將）失聯事件非常像，當時蔣正志上校駕駛編號6672的F-16戰機從花蓮空軍基地起飛執行夜航訓練，起飛沒多久雷達光點就消失在花蓮機場東北面約8浬海域，至今仍未成功找到機體和蔣正志。而花蓮外海地形陡峭、海溝深，戰機失事後飛官大多下落不明，蔣正志失聯後，受到地形和惡劣海象影響，打撈行動困難。且現在氣溫寒冷，辛柏毅上尉落海恐面臨失溫，大家都非常希望奇蹟能夠降臨，盼辛上尉順利獲救。

高雄市最新人口數跌破272萬人，比前一年減少1.2萬多人，人口持續負成長、「生不如死」，新生兒持續創新低，大減3千多人；鳳山區蟬聯最大行政區，仁武、楠梓、橋頭區在產業加持下，居人口成長前三名。

高雄最新人口統計出爐，人口數271.8萬多人，比前一年減少1.2萬多人，維持女多於男態勢，結婚1.2萬多對新人，比前一年減少1913對，連帶新生兒1.2萬多人，也比前一年減少3千多人，死亡人數2.5萬多人，比前一年減少297人，連9年「生不如死」已成常態；遷入人口數12.5萬多人，也比遷出人口數少268人，自然增加與社會增加均負成長，人口持續呈現衰退現象。

前三大行政區為鳳山區35.3萬多人、三民區32.8萬多人、左營區19.7萬多人，以鳳山區人口數最多，蟬聯高雄最大行政區，卻也負成長最多達2175人，其次苓雅區減少2110人、三民區減少1460人，隨著大型購物中心將進駐鳳山、三民區近高雄火車站重劃區開發完成後，將帶來更多人口紅利。

此外，仁武、楠梓、橋頭區居人口成長前三名，坐擁仁武、楠梓產業園區及橋頭科學園區等，加上台積電設廠帶動產業群聚效應，將成為全台最大「科技廊道」，仁武區突破10萬多人大關，大幅超車岡山區9.4萬多人，急起直追大寮區11.1萬多人；楠梓區也在台積電加持下，人口數持續攀升達19.5萬多人，只差左營區約2千人，可望躍升第三大行政區；橋頭區也因產業開發，人口增為4萬多人，即將追過鳥松區，僅差362人。

墜海地點位於石梯坪東南東方約8海浬處，漁業署呼叫花蓮海域作業船隻注意，希望早日有好消息。（漁業署提供）

花蓮空軍基地飛官辛柏毅，今晚執行例行飛行訓練時發生意外，東管處石梯坪即時攝影機拍到墜海當下的光點，國軍正全力搜救中。依氣象署成功、花蓮浮標測得海溫有23.5度至24度，花蓮潛水教練張冠正說，一般沒有穿防寒衣的情況下，2小時就會開始顫抖，至於失溫時間要看個人體力，期盼能盡快有消息。

冷氣團來襲，昨晚間花蓮石梯附近海域有船隻出海作業，有船長表示，昨晚一開始海況還算可以，浪高兩公尺、風力四到五級，是標準冬天海況，但是隨著冷氣團南下，風浪也會逐漸變大！昨晚十點左右花蓮豐濱鄉外海能見度差，浪高約2到3公尺，氣溫13度，氣象署資料是海溫23.5度。

發報器無回音 可能彈射失敗潛水教練張冠正說，海溫24度以下就算冷了，因為外海風速大，可能會加速風寒效應，在沒有防寒衣狀況下約2小時就開始發抖，他的經驗是有潛水員在這種海溫中撐8小時後，呈現半昏迷狀態被救，還好有救回來，也只能祈禱能盡早找到人。

據了解，空軍飛官背包應有充氣救生衣，如果彈射出去時沒有昏迷，應可拉撐開救生衣，且飛行員彈射後身上有發報器，但初步訊息可能沒有彈射成功。

title: 負債累累還要硬蓋！中國未來5年要增蓋高鐵路線19％至6萬公里

content_text:
香港《南華早報》報導，儘管近年來中國砸下巨資興建高速鐵路，但目前長達5萬公里的高鐵路線僅5%有獲利，中國國家鐵路集團（中國國鐵）日前仍堅稱，未來5年還要增蓋高鐵路線19%至6萬公里，以提高中國各地的連結。

中國國鐵表示，在2026年至2030年的「第15個5年計畫」中，將把全國的鐵路路線拉長至約18萬公里，其中高鐵路線將增6萬公里，占鐵路路線的三分之一。在2021年至2025年間，中國的高鐵路線激增約33%，從3萬7900公里增至5萬零400公里，鐵路路線則增加12.8%，從14萬6300公里增至16萬5000公里。

中國國鐵擬定的的最新目標，凸顯未來5年北京當局將進一步鞏固中國在高鐵在全球的主導地位。根據國際鐵路聯盟（UIC）2025年7月在世界高鐵大會上發表的報告，中國的高鐵路線總長度已占全球的逾7成。

不過，中國國鐵猛蓋高鐵路線，恐加劇該公司沉重的債務。港媒《明報》2025年12月27日報導，中國高鐵項目持續面臨巨大債務，截至2024年底，中國國鐵總負債達6.2兆元人民幣（約新台幣28兆元），負債率63.5%；且中國全國僅有京滬、京津、滬杭、滬寧、寧杭、廣深港高鐵等少數位於經濟發達、人口密集地區的路線獲利，里程約占中國所有高鐵路線的5%。

不過，中國國鐵聲稱，截至2025年底，負債率已下降1個百分點至62.5%。

《中國經營報》2024年5月25日報導，中國全國至少有26座高鐵車站因地點偏遠、周邊設施不足、客流量低而處於閒置狀態。

都從事教育工作的一對夫妻，H姓妻子是國中教師，指控Y姓丈夫為了兒子管教問題掌摑妻子；Y男還上網公審批評妻子與他人有不當男女關係、拜託民代多少才考上教師等。女教師認這些誹謗內容貶抑其社會評價與人格，告丈夫傷害與誹謗，一審刑事合併判Y男拘役20日；民事也判Y男要賠妻子12萬元。

律師江信賢指出，人格權是每個人與生俱有的基本權利，有關個人價值與尊嚴的權利，涵蓋生命、身體、健康、姓名、名譽、自由、信用、隱私、貞操等，是與人不可分離的固有權利，非但法律對於人格權受到侵害時提供救濟；任何人也應該尊重他人，不得以不法手段破壞他人的人格權。

江信賢表示，本案當事人雙方為夫妻，為了兒子的管教問題發生爭吵，甚至提升到肢體衝突，後續又將夫妻之間感情糾紛、衝突等狀況張貼於網路社群，顯然丈夫對於妻子的身體、名譽等人格權造成巨大侵害。

在從事法律實務工作中，還是會建議夫妻雙方應冷靜、就事論事、適時尋求專業協助 （如心理諮商、律師、家暴中心等），避免衝突不斷升高。

不過，當確實有發生家暴行為，江信賢說，仍會建議被害人一定要以保障人身安全為優先，必要時立即撥打110電話報警或113保護專線尋求協助，並在安全情況下蒐集證據（傷勢照片、錄音/影、驗傷單等），可透過警察、社工或直接向法院聲請家暴保護令，並尋求庇護安置、心理諮商、法律扶助等資源，制止暴力循環。

H姓女教師提告指，2024年5月19日近午，Y姓丈夫在她位於台南市的住處車庫內，為了兒子管教問題與她發生爭執，丈夫竟出手掌摑她臉頰兩下，使她雙頰挫傷。

此外，同年5月20日晚間，Y姓丈夫在臉書「台南某區」的社群接連貼出文章與圖片，影射H姓妻子在教育界與他人有不正當關係，「就連跟他炒飯還會叫別的男人名字」、男女關係複雜，回家也不願意動一根手指、只想當公主；連考老師都敢嗆說是拜託民代多少才考上的…，也批評妻子衛生習慣很差，「如何為人師表？」

H姓女師報警查辦丈夫，台南地院刑事庭依傷害、加重誹謗兩罪合併判Y男拘役20日，得易科罰金。民事部分，女教師加碼共向丈夫求償100萬元。

Y男辯解，他在網路所發圖文都是事實，妻子是國中老師，其品行是可受公評的範圍，縱使所發圖文是妻子私德範疇，在社群有設定僅有「朋友可見」的閱覽權限，與不特定人得以共見共聞的情形不同；且妻子教職工作也未受影響或被學校處分，未造成實質損害，妻子求償慰撫金過高。

台南地院民事庭法官審認，Y男所涉傷害與誹謗犯行，被一審刑事庭判合併拘役20日無誤；Y男是因與妻子感情糾紛，在臉書社群PO出有關圖文指摘妻子，那些圖文僅涉H姓女師的私德、生活習慣，與公眾利益無密切關係、也非公益事項可受公評之事，客觀上顯然對女老師名譽造成損害；Y男主觀上也有侵害妻子名譽權的故意。

法官表示，H姓女師求償有理，考量Y男也從事教育事業，未理性處理與教師妻子的感情糾紛，竟動手掌摑妻子成傷；又在臉書社群PO出侵害妻子名譽的圖文，對Y男涉及傷害與誹謗妻子的兩部分，合併判他應賠償12萬台幣給妻子；此案還可上訴。

「小倩」王祖賢自曝息影時常問自己：「我到底是誰？」高雄市立大同醫院身心科醫師王紹丞指出，憂鬱症是一種可以康復的疾病，哪怕你是重度憂鬱症患者，有7成能有明顯改善甚至完全康復。（取自王祖賢臉書）

〔健康頻道／綜合報導〕台灣的憂鬱症人口龐大，估計有數百萬人受影響。仙女級藝人王祖賢、淡出歌壇的嘻哈歌手葛仲珊，甚至已故藝人曹西平，都曾受憂鬱症之苦。高雄市立大同醫院身心科醫師王紹丞指出，憂鬱症是一種可以康復的疾病，哪怕你是重度憂鬱症患者，有7成能有明顯改善甚至完全康復。

王紹丞說，王祖賢在2004年息影後，遠離鎂光燈、移居海外、潛心修佛罕見談起當年離開演藝圈的決定，以及在退下來之後，經歷過一段「找不到自己是誰」的憂鬱歷程。對一位在華人世界家喻戶曉的藝人來說，這樣的坦白，彷彿替無數在人生高峰後感到空虛的人，說出了某種集體的心聲。

王紹丞引述期刊研究指出，每10位罹患重度憂鬱症的患者中，就有7位在經過藥物、心理治療或生活型態調整後，能明顯改善甚至完全康復。但在復原的過程中，最大的功課，往往不是情緒本身，而是面對那個「我到底是誰」的提問。

在演藝圈，許多人在最風光的時刻選擇退出，表面上是「留下最美的樣子」，但在心理層次，往往是對過度被觀看與角色身份的疲乏感。

王祖賢在訪談中說，她總是待在片場一個小小的空間裡拍戲，但電影上映後，所有人都認識她，她卻不認識任何人。「那時候，我開始問自己，我到底是誰？」王紹丞說：「這句話，其實非常有心理學意義」。

他表示，在臨床上見到中年憂鬱症患者，並不是單純「覺得不開心」，而是在失去角色、失去舞台、或經歷生命轉折後，深刻感受到自己的存在價值正在鬆動。這是一種存在性憂鬱（existential depression），它與失落、自我懷疑、生命意義感的動搖有關。

王紹丞認為，如果你也曾歷經高峰後的空虛，或在生活靜下來時突然覺得自己不像自己，那不是你出了問題，而是你開始走進一段更深的覺察。憂鬱不是失敗，而是靈魂在問：「你準備好，回到你自己了嗎？」

他認為，王祖賢那句：「我不知道我是誰」與她後來的修行，其實是同一段復原軌跡的兩個端點。從症狀到靜心，從失語到自述，這就是療癒。復原從來不是線性的，它可能繞遠路、會經過失望與懷疑，但那不表示你永遠困在黑暗。就像王祖賢從影壇女神，走進寺院、走出低谷、成為健康推廣者，每一段身份的改變，都不是終結，而是轉化。

規模在國內居冠的曾文水庫，除了湖光山色的美景之外，園區內季節限定的白雪木盛開，合計約2400株，相當壯觀，還有遊客服務中心旁的大型聖誕紅，也正漂亮綻放，令人流連，都成為拍照、打卡的熱點，尤其強烈冷氣團接連報到，持續低溫下，更有助於花期的延展，民眾要把握機會。

水利署南水分署表示，園區內重要地標「曾文之眼」遊客服務中心，由於落成迄今逾24年，建物老舊，且有滲漏的問題，因此進行整修，並在屋頂新增太陽能發電設施，目前都已完工，加上一旁的聖誕紅美景，成功搭配出冬季獨有的觀光亮點。

有別於常見的盆栽形式，「曾文之眼」旁的聖誕紅，都是直接種在花圃裡的植株，樹齡逾10年之久，比一般成人還高，萼片也很大，目前顏色正鮮豔，相當搶眼，民眾駐足遊賞。

南水分署提到，「曾文之眼」旁的聖誕紅，都是苗圃自己扦插移植，數量超過200株，目前盛開中，喜氣洋溢，若天候條件許可，花期有機會持續至農曆春節，為園區遊賞景點之一。

南水分署強調，整修完工後的「曾文之眼」，一樓仍為遊客服務中心，並增加水庫互動介紹，二樓是藝文空間，每季固定換展，還安排手作課程，歡迎民眾利用。

至於白雪木，又稱聖誕白雪，也是南水分署自行扦插栽培，每年秋天陸續移植至園區各重要節點，包含南水分署辦公室前、觀景樓旁，以及「曾文之眼」與三號橋附近等，每處各600株，打造花海景致。

彰化縣和美大橋新建工程，為配合和美端橋梁引道施工，從去年開始讓美港公路只剩下「雙向各一車道通行」，造成上下班時間天天塞車，連替代道路的彰新路6段從早到晚都是車，原本縣府會勘後決定在重點替代道路的每個路口都寫上「慢字」，預估要寫21個慢字，但最後決定踩煞車。因為考量路口寫「慢」字應該是在沒有交通號誌的狀況，才能發揮效果。

縣議員賴清美表示，和美大橋跨越烏溪，銜接台中大肚與彰化和美，這項工程預計今年底要完工，去年開始為配合和美端引道工程，啟動美港公路交通管制，從管制以來，往來的人車都苦不堪言，上下班尖峰時間大塞特塞。不只是美港公路變成停車場，替代道路也連帶大排長龍，居民半夜被吵到無法入睡。

賴清美與相關單位共同會勘後，決議在彰新路6段，從超商到興工路的路口寫上11個慢字；而彰新路7段，從興工路到超商，則預計在路口寫10個慢字，希望用路人在路口減速通行，行車安全又維護路旁居民安寧。

不過，縣府交通處表示，道路上的「慢」字應該適用在路口無號誌情況下，由於會勘路段的路口都有閃燈號誌，除了轉彎處，為了提醒可以再用「慢」字來輔佐，因此，將會再與地方溝通，原則上不會寫上21個慢字，只會在轉彎路口才會用「慢」字來提醒。

和美警分局指出，道路寫上「慢」字並無相關法規來懲處，但希望用路人可以遵守，一起維護安全。

海巡署PP-10095、10078巡防艇趕抵現場後，立即施放海難測流浮標（SLDMB）。（海巡署提供）

花蓮空軍基地一架F16V單座戰機（機號6700）今晚失聯，飛行官辛姓上尉疑似跳傘，國軍海空救援。海委會主委管碧玲緊盯搜救，她在臉書上PO文表示，花蓮海巡隊10095艇已經抵達現場，並已施放海難測流浮標（SLDMB）引導搜救，陸續有馳援艦艇投入搜救。

管碧玲PO出花蓮海巡隊10095艇趕赴現場畫面，她說。海巡弟兄破浪而行，加速前進，目前10095艇已抵達現場，並已施放海難測流浮標（SLDMB）引導搜救了，稍後10078艇到現場也會施放，希望藉由對海流的掌握，趕快找到辛飛官！大家繼續幫忙祈禱。

她稍早也PO文指出，國防部、海巡、空勤海空救援行動都已在路上，周邊最近一艘貨輪，距離6.3浬，也已聯絡上，全力搜救。她說，我們為飛官集氣！一起集氣！

空軍花蓮基地一架F-16V座戰機，夜間6時17分由辛姓上尉駕機起飛執行例行性訓練任務，29分於花蓮縣豐濱鄉東面10海浬疑似跳傘，空軍隨即成立應變中心，國搜中心已經派遣松山基地夜間搜救待命的海鷗直升機，以及屏東C-130運輸機前往搜救。

台中市豐原區國豐路三段20號旁國道4號橋下，因野鳥長期棲息、排泄物堆積，遇雨造成路面濕滑，日前導致多輛機車騎士同時打滑追撞造成擦挫傷，險釀重大事故。台中市議員邱愛珊接獲陳情偕同立法院副院長江啟臣服務團隊，邀集交通部高速公路局、台中市農業局、環保局等會勘，將增設防護網，減少禽鳥停棲；台中市環保局也允諾將加強道路環境清潔，協助降低對公共安全的影響。

國道4號橋下禽鳥長期停棲，排泄物累積在國豐路三段路面，邱愛珊要求相關單位責無旁貸，應盡快改善； 高公局表示，將於下月中旬前完成國道4號鐵路橋下鳥害範圍防護網的增設工程，以減少禽鳥停棲，作為中長期改善的關鍵措施；農業局表示，鳥禽會選擇合適棲地，後續若搭配防鳥設施與環境改善作業應能降低禽鳥回巢的可能性；環保局則允諾配合相關單位，加強道路清理等，協助降低對公共安全的影響。

江啟臣辦公室副主任呂明杰建請高公局務必加快腳步，完成網狀束行線設置作業，從源頭有效預防鳥類棲息，確保該路段長期維持安全狀態，讓用路人行得安心。

豐原區公所並排定 1月10、17、24、31日及2月14日上午9時辦理路面清潔作業，並請警察局協助交通管制，以降低即時行車風險；若清潔後改善效果仍有限，區公所也將視情況評估辦理路面刨除重鋪工程。

特斯拉在兩大歐洲市場銷售皆被比亞迪超越。（路透）

〔編譯魏國金／台北報導〕德國聯邦汽車運輸管理局（KBA）6日指出，特斯拉去年12月在德國的銷售幾乎較前一年減半，而2025年全年銷售也幾近腰斬。

路透報導，KBA指出，特斯拉12月在德國銷售2032輛電動汽車，年減48%，2025全年銷售1萬9390輛車，年減48.4%。

相較之下，中國電動車巨頭比亞迪12月銷售成長逾12倍至4109輛車，2025年銷售量達2萬3306輛車。雙雙超越特斯拉。

KBA補充說，2025年德國新註冊的電動車達54萬5142輛，年增43.2%。

不僅在德國，特斯拉在另一個歐洲電動車主要市場英國，表現也被比亞迪超越。比亞迪9月銷售超越特斯拉，全年以5萬1422輛的銷售優於特斯拉的4萬5513輛。

特斯拉在去年第4季銷售年減16%，並連續第2年銷售下滑後，將全球電動車霸主的地位退讓給比亞迪。特斯拉銷售下滑的原因包括日益激烈的競爭、美國稅收減免政策到期，以及對品牌的負面情緒作用。

這家美國電動車大廠去年12月在其他一些歐洲市場的銷售也下滑，致使2025年其歐洲市占率萎縮。

title: 銀價飆漲　央行馬年生肖套幣售2450元創歷史新高價

content_text:
中央銀行今天宣布發售「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」，即日起開放預購。考量馬年寓意吉祥，銷售數量提升至 9 萬套；但因白銀價格驚驚漲，央行考量成本，不得不調高售價，馬年生肖套幣每套售價新台幣 2450 元，創生肖套幣歷史最高價。

央行委請台灣銀行公開發售第 3 輪生肖紀念套幣系列第 10 套「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」，採網路預購及臨櫃銷售兩種方式，民眾自 2026 年 1 月 6 日上午 10 時起至 1 月 12 日止，可上網預購，或於 1 月 29 日起，前往台灣銀行各分行（簡易型分行除外）臨櫃購買。

馬年套幣銷售數量為9萬套，網路預購配售 5 萬套及臨櫃銷售配售4萬套，每套售價 2450 元；網路預購者每人最多可申購5套，臨櫃購買者每人每次限購2套。

央行發行局局長鄧延達表示，馬年寓意吉祥，有馬到成功、龍馬精神等吉祥話，龍、虎、馬都是相當受到國人喜愛的生肖，因此今年銷售數量較去年的蛇年8萬套增加，升至 9 萬套。

然而，今年馬年生肖套幣售價 2450 元，也創下新高紀錄。回顧過往生肖套幣售價，過去 10 年多落在每套 1600 至 1900 元之間，歷史次高記錄是 102 年龍年的 2000 元。

鄧延達說明，今年馬年套幣價格調漲實在不得已，「因為銀價飆漲太高了」。調高套幣售價有2因素，一是成本價格飆漲，迫不得已提高售價，才能反映成本；二是如果定價太低，銀料材質高於售價，將帶來套利空間。

鄧延達指出， 2024 年白銀價格每盎司還低於 30 美元， 2025 年一路飆漲，全年狂漲 140 %，上週一度看到 83 美元價位，現在仍在 77 美元高檔震盪，「銀價飆漲非常凶猛」。央行定價其實非常貼近成本價，目的是提供民眾過年餽贈禮物，而不是以營利為主，價格可以說是「很佛心了」。

「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」採銀幣（面額新台幣 100 圓）及銅合金幣（面額新台幣 10 圓）各一枚組合成套。銀幣含銀 1 英兩，正面以局部鍍金的「馬」圖樣為主題，背面以「台北 101 跨年煙火」為主題。

銅合金幣正面以幾何元素交織出馬匹形體為主構圖，背面則為部分上彩的「繡球花」。套幣包裝盒設計典雅，底座及展示架結合成一體，豎立時可雙面展示，提供更佳的賞玩體驗；並以珠光斜織紋紙盒盛裝，包裝精緻。

鄧延達直言，台北 101 跨年煙火全球聞名，這次和台北 101 接洽授權事宜，雙方合作非常順利，因為台北 101 認為能夠呈現在紀念幣非常榮幸，授權金條件也相當優惠。

「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」自 2026 年 1 月6 日上午 10 時起至 1 月 12 日止，可上網預購。央行說明，民眾可於台灣銀行「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣網路申購系統」網站辦理預購，每人限申購 1 次。預購數量如超過配額，將進行電腦抽籤，並於 1 月 13 日 14 時公告中籤名單，同時開放中籤者繳款至1月 19 日 15 時 30 分止，逾期未繳款者視同放棄。

預購後完成繳款者，可 於1 月 29 日起 1 個月內，赴預購時選定的台灣銀行分行領取。網路預購的作業流程及詳細規定刊載於該網站，歡迎上網查閱。

民眾黨不分區立委執行2年條款，但傳出黨籍立委陳昭姿可能留任。民眾黨主席黃國昌今天表示，陳昭姿的任期會與前主席柯文哲另外處理，沒有破壞制度問題，等到人工生殖法告一段落後，陳昭姿也會離開。

為貫徹民眾黨不分區立委 2 年條款，黃國昌昨天透露，他已簽署辭職書，任期到 1 月底，其他立委也是如此，儘管柯文哲曾向他提過續留立法院的事，但他希望外界認為「民眾黨是有制度的黨」；至於陳昭姿的部分比較特別，會再跟柯文哲處理。

民眾黨今天舉行「賴政府惡意賴帳，啟動團體訴訟為退休警消討公道」記者會，黃國昌於會後接受媒體聯訪。

媒體詢問，傳出黨團成員對 2 年條款有意見，2 年條款是否鬆動。黃國昌表示，民眾黨有制度，至於媒體所說「傳出立委有意見」，沒有事實證據基礎的流言，沒有回應必要；他並反問媒體是哪一位立委有意見。

媒體詢問，陳昭姿可能留任，如何說服支持者民眾黨有落實不分區 2 年條款制度。黃國昌說，去年召開黨代表大會時，他建議 2 年條款繼續執行，「除非柯文哲另外有指示」，全體黨代表一致同意。

他說，陳昭姿的任期會與柯文哲另外處理，沒有破壞制度的問題，因為黨代表大會的決議就是如此，陳昭姿的部分很快就會有答案。

黃國昌下午接受網路節目「直球對決」訪問時，被問及陳昭姿是否續留立法院時表示，等到人工生殖法告一段落後，陳昭姿也會離開。

台灣去年歷經多次颱風、地震，雪霸國家公園管理處今天表示，根據去年 6 至 10 月研究監測「國寶魚」台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭野生族群數量並未受天候影響，顯示經多年復育，族群呈持續穩定。

根據雪霸國家公園管理處今天發布的新聞稿，武陵站主任廖林彥指出，這項調查是在去年6月至 10 月期間，以浮潛目視法進行台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭野生族群數量研究監測，數量約有1萬 6020 尾，為歷史第3高；雖未再創歷史新高，但從近5年族群數量皆在1萬 5000 尾左右來看，顯示族群數量相對穩定。

廖林彥表示，台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭野外族群數量連續多年維持在穩定水準，顯示棲息地經過 30 年復育呈現穩定、成熟，鮭魚並未受颱風、地震等天候因素干擾，甚至可抵抗全球氣候暖化影響；除長期棲地改善，人工復育及放流管理策略，也都有效逐步降低台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭滅絕風險。

雪管處去年 9 月與勁捷航空合作，首次運用直升機吊掛方式執行司界蘭溪上游放流，大幅縮短以往人力運輸流程，使魚隻能快速安全抵達目標棲地，有效降低人力負擔與運送過程中魚苗死亡潛在風險，為高山溪流放流作業建立更具效率操作模式。

雪管處指出，司界蘭溪上游的棲地放流，也是完成台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭歷史流域（包括七家灣溪流域與合歡溪流域等）棲地放流工作最後一塊拼圖。

為進一步整合研究成果與擴大環境教育推廣，雪管處表示，現正籌劃設置「國寶魚生態體驗教室」，結合現有生態中心及種原庫，成為台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭保育、環境教育與展示的重要場域，讓民眾能系統性並近距離觀察體驗、了解國寶魚的生態特性與復育歷程，預計今年動工。

雪管處強調，台灣櫻花鉤吻鮭野生族群能長期維持穩定，並非單靠單一復育措施，而是透過從流域整體保育方式，結合公私協力單位進行棲地改善維護、長期族群監測、人工繁殖、放流管理等工作，並同步降低人為活動對棲地干擾；近年更將研究成果轉化為環境教育與實地體驗，這樣結合科學研究與實際管理環教的保育復育模式，未來可作為其他高山溪流或瀕危物種保育工作參考。

【記者張原彰／台北報導】中央銀行6日宣布發售「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」，即日起開放網路預購。央行表示，考量馬是受國人喜愛的生肖，今年套幣數量較去年蛇年增加1萬套，總數達9萬套。不過，考量近期白銀價格攀升，央行為反映成本，馬年生肖套幣每套定價調高至新台幣2‚450元，創生肖套幣歷史最高價。

央行發行局局長鄧延達指出，龍、虎、馬都是相當受到國人喜愛的生肖，因此今年銷售數量較去年的蛇年8萬套增加，升至9萬套。過去10年生肖套幣售價多在1‚600至1‚900元之間，歷史次高為102年龍年的2‚000元。今年調漲價格主要是反映成本，避免定價太低，銀料材質高於售價而造成套利空間。

鄧延達補充，白銀價格自2024年每盎司低於30美元後，2025年一路飆升，全年漲幅達140%，上週一度衝至每盎司83美元，目前在77美元高檔震盪。

「丙午馬年生肖紀念套幣」採網路預購及臨櫃銷售兩種方式，民眾可於1月6日上午10時起至1月12日上網預購，或自1月29日起前往臺灣銀行各分行（簡易型分行除外）臨櫃購買。網路預購配售5萬套，臨櫃銷售配售4萬套，每套售價2‚450元。◇
