南部非洲发展共同体2025峰会

19 August 2025 at 06:15
18/08/2025 - 23:56

[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)第45届国家元首和政府首脑峰会于2025年08月17日星期日在位于印度洋中的非洲大岛马达加斯加首都塔那那利佛(Antananarivo)举行。这是本台法广(RFI Afrique)法语通讯员自上周末以来追踪报道的非洲消息之一。非洲[南共体](SADC)2025年度峰会的正式日程安排只有一天。岛国马达加斯加(Madagascar)已在当天首次正式接掌这一非洲次区国际组织的轮值主席国,为期一年。

综合本台法广(RFI Afrique)非洲通讯员自上周末以来从非洲岛国马达加斯加首都发回的多篇法文报道。第45届[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)国家元首和政府首脑峰会已于2025年08月17日星期日晚在塔那那利佛(Antananarivo)落下帷幕。峰会公报显示,非洲[南共体](SADC)当前的最新定位是要加强区域的经济融合(l’intégration économique)与促进刚果民主共和国东部冲突调解进程的互补性(la complémentarité)。

-- 马达加斯加首次成为非洲[南共体](SADC)轮值主席国 -

本台法广非洲通讯员于2025年08月18日星期一凌晨发自塔那那利佛(Antananarivo)的法文消息说,在加入[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)二十年后,马达加斯加首次成为轮值主席国。在这个包含16个成员国的非洲次区组织里,周日有半数是国家最高元首前往马达加斯加会晤安德里·拉乔利纳总统(Président Andry Rajoelina)。

同一报道指出,本次第45届峰会的最终公报称赞[非洲联盟](UA)、[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)和[东非共同体](EAC-Communauté d'Afrique de l'Est)为调解刚果(金)东部冲突中所做的共同努力。[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)和[东非共同体](EAC)现已组织了一个共同促进人(facilitateur)团体。公报还强调,急需对非洲的调停,及金沙萨和基加利签署的《华盛顿协议》,还有刚果(金)与[03月23日运动](M23)在多哈签署的[原则声明]进行互补和协调。

据介绍,原本计划与会的刚果(金)总统费利克斯·齐塞克迪(Président Félix Tshisekedi)在最后一刻取消行程,而给出的理由则是难以安排。他的缺席虽然引发广泛关注,但不影响刚果(金)东部的区域冲突成为本次峰会的重要议题。刚果(金)总统的身边人士指出,[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)仍可在推动《华盛顿协议》和《多哈声明》落实方面发挥关键的外交作用。值得注意的还有,最终公报中没有提到支持[刚果河联盟/03月23日运动](AFC/M23)的卢旺达。

本台法广(RFI)非洲通讯员在这篇报道的最后段落里指出,非洲[南共体](SADC)2025年度峰会的另一优先议题是区域的经济融合(l’intégration économique)。就此,各国元首呼吁加快推进“南北经济走廊”项目。这条大型贸易公路的建造计划旨在连接南非港口城市德班(Durban)与刚果(金)矿业重镇、卢阿拉巴省(Lualaba)省府科卢韦齐(Kolwezi)。这一基础设施项目有可能创造高达160万个工作岗位。然而,峰会的公报即没有提到明确的时间表,也没有对外宣布具体的投资金额。此外,就提升[南部非洲发展共同体](SADC)区内贸易或协调区内成员国之间的关税政策,本次峰会没有给出具体的数字化承诺。

贸易争端升级:中国延长对欧乳制品反补贴调查

19 August 2025 at 05:45
18/08/2025 - 23:32

中国商务部周一(8月18日)宣布,将对来自欧盟的乳制品进口反补贴调查的期限延长六个月,至2026年2月21日。这一调查涉及部分欧盟奶酪、牛奶和奶油产品,被视为北京与欧美持续贸易摩擦的一个战场。专家指出:对欧盟乳制品和猪肉的调查,正成为中欧就新能源车关税谈判的重要“筹码”。

路透社报道,中欧贸易紧张关系始于2023年。当时欧盟委员会对中国电动车发起反补贴调查。此后,中国陆续对欧盟白兰地、猪肉和乳制品展开调查,被广泛解读为对欧方举措的报复。

今年6月,中国延长对欧盟猪肉的反倾销调查;7月又对欧盟白兰地加征关税,但主要干邑生产商如果按规定的最低价格或以上销售,则可获豁免。

欧盟乳业的担忧

欧洲乳业协会秘书长亚历山大·安东表示,乳制品调查延长在预期之中,因为中国官员已安排9月初进行更多技术考察。他指出,乳制品行业不太可能获得类似白兰地那样的解决方式,因为该行业的市场结构截然不同,乳制品涉及大量中小生产商,而白兰地则由少数大企业主导。

法国乳业协会(FNIL)首席执行官弗朗索瓦-泽维尔·于阿尔表示,法国生产商希望能在电动车争端上达成政治解决,以避免关税冲击法国对华乳制品出口。法国乳制品对华出口额每年约为6.5亿欧元。

贸易博弈仍在继续

今年4月,欧盟委员会发言人曾表示,中欧已同意探讨对中国电动车设立最低价格,而非仅依赖去年欧盟加征的关税,但双方至今未能达成协议。

总部位于北京的智库Trivium China农业问题专家罗杰斯·佩伊(Even Rogers Pay)指出,“北京仍希望与欧盟在一系列贸易冲突上达成妥协。”她补充说,对欧盟乳制品和猪肉的调查,正成为中欧就新能源车关税谈判的重要“筹码”。

特朗普政府酝酿收购英特尔10%股权

19 August 2025 at 05:45
18/08/2025 - 23:26

据彭博社报道,美国特朗普政府正与英特尔洽谈,将把部分或全部《芯片与科学法案》(Chips Act)拨款转换为股权,以取得这家陷入困境的美国芯片制造商约 10%的股份。报道援引白宫官员及知情人士消息称,此举可能涉及约100亿美元。

受此消息影响,英特尔股价周一(8月18日)下跌约3%,报23.68美元,此前一周股价曾因市场预期美国联邦支持而上涨。英特尔原本已获批约109亿美元的芯片法案资金,用于商业与军用生产。根据彭博社说法,这一金额大致可覆盖美政府的持股规模。

英特尔拒绝就此置评,白宫也未予回应。路透社暂时无法独立核实相关报道。

背景与市场担忧

上周有媒体报道称,在特朗普要求新任CEO陈立武(Lip-Bu Tan)因其与中国企业关系辞职后,陈与特朗普举行会晤,会议引发市场猜测美国政府可能直接入股英特尔。

分析人士表示,联邦资金支持或能为英特尔亏损的代工业务争取更多喘息空间,但公司依旧面临产品路线薄弱与新工厂客户不足 的挑战。

英特尔股东、Aptus Capital Advisors投资组合经理大卫·瓦格纳(David Wagner)指出,“美国政府介入拯救一家蓝筹企业,意味着英特尔的竞争地位可能比人们预期的更糟。”他补充说,虽然对政府动用纳税人资金救企持怀疑态度,但“总比让英特尔成为国有企业要好”。

中印外长会晤 聚焦边境和平与贸易合作

19 August 2025 at 05:45
18/08/2025 - 23:24

印度外长苏杰生周一(8月18日)在新德里与中国外长王毅举行会谈,讨论边境和平、贸易问题及双边交流,旨在推动两国合作。印度外长称,"会谈富有成果,有助于构建“稳定、合作和面向未来的中印关系"。

路透社报道,苏杰生(Subrahmanyam Jaishankar)在会谈后表示,“双方就经贸议题、宗教朝圣、人员往来、跨境河流数据共享、边境贸易、互联互通及双边交流进行了富有成果的对话。”他并补充说,这些讨论将有助于构建“稳定、合作和面向未来”的中印关系。

王毅周一抵达新德里,开启为期两天的访问。他将在访问期间与印度国家安全顾问多瓦尔举行第24轮边境会谈,并会见印度总理莫迪。

苏杰生周一早些时候强调,边境议题“至关重要”,因为中印关系能否取得积极进展,取决于双方能否共同维护边境地区的和平。

苏杰生在会谈开始时对王毅表示,“我们的关系曾经历过艰难时期,两国现在希望向前推进。这需要双方采取坦诚而建设性的态度。”他并指出,两国有必要撤回自2020年致命边境冲突以来在西喜马拉雅地区集结的军队。

王毅此行正值莫迪即将前往中国之际——这将是莫迪七年来首次访华,他将出席上海合作组织(SCO)峰会。该组织成员还包括俄罗斯等国。

中印关系自去年10月起出现缓和。当时,在俄罗斯举行的会晤中,中国国家主席习近平与莫迪达成"里程碑式"协议,同意缓解喜马拉雅边境的军事紧张局势。

中印两国关系在2020年夏季急剧恶化,当时边境发生冲突,造成20名印度士兵和4名中国士兵死亡。

白宫峰会:马克龙提出“四方机制” 德国力推停火

19 August 2025 at 05:45
18/08/2025 - 23:18

美国总统特朗普周一(8月18日)在白宫与乌克兰总统泽连斯基举行双边会晤后,与欧洲领导人就乌克兰战争举行会谈。法国总统马克龙呼吁,除美俄乌三方对话外,还应举行包含欧洲的“四方会谈”;德国总理默茨强调,停火应是和平谈判的前提条件;特朗普称,俄罗斯总统普京"已准备接受乌克兰的安全保障"。

法新社报道,在特朗普与泽连斯基的双边会谈后,多位欧洲领导人陆续抵达白宫,表达对乌克兰的支持,包括法国总统马克龙、德国总理默茨,以及包括北约秘书长吕特、欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩等。

美国总统特朗普表示,俄罗斯总统普京"已准备接受乌克兰的安全保障"。他在会议开场时说:“普京总统同意俄罗斯接受关于乌克兰的安全保障,这是我们必须考虑的核心问题之一,我们将在这张谈判桌上加以讨论。”

马克龙呼吁举行“四方会谈”

法国总统马克龙强调,欧洲必须参与未来可能的美俄乌三方对话。他表示:“三方会谈的想法很重要,因为这是唯一能解决问题的方式。但随后我们需要一次四方会谈,因为当我们谈论乌克兰的安全保障时,我们实际上谈论的是整个欧洲大陆的安全。”

默茨坚持停火先行

德国总理默茨则明确要求,"停火"应成为推动和平谈判的前提条件。默茨表示,“我无法想象下一次会谈在没有停火的情况下举行。让我们为此努力,一起向俄罗斯施加压力。”

此前特朗普曾表示,推动乌克兰和平并不需要事先停火,这一立场与德国及部分欧洲盟友的观点背道而驰。

边疆研究项目:旨在探讨中国如何对陆地和海洋边境邻国进行投资、开展合作并深化其存在,以期重塑其周边地区。该研究是国家亚洲研究局“中国战略空间地图”项目的第二阶段,该项目将战略空间定义为对中国实现国家经济和安全目标以及中国国家长期生存至关重要的领域,北京希望在此领域自由施加影响力并确立其领导地位。

一、联合国特别报告员:中国必须维护被监禁人权捍卫者的权利

本周,联合国人权维护者处境特别报告员玛丽·劳勒 (Mary Lawlor) 发布了一份声明,要求中国当局维护遭监禁的人权捍卫者的权利。本次声明的特别之处在于,劳勒要求中国当局立即提供有关“知名人权律师高智晟下落的信息”。据悉,这是联合国人权高专办自高智晟律师2011年服刑以来,第三次对其处境公开表示关切。

针对中国政府在先前的答复中称高智晟未被羁押在中国境内的说法,劳勒要求当局提供详细信息,说明其为寻找高某和确定其所在地点所采取的具体措施,以及针对其强迫失踪案件所启动的调查工作。

联合国人权专家表示:“高智晟失踪已近八年,中国政府始终拒绝就其强迫失踪问题进行对话,这是完全不可接受的。如果他没有受到拘留、监禁或软禁,那么当局必须披露已经采取了哪些措施来查明其下落。”

劳勒表示,“她对于自己多次要求获得关于高智晟失踪案件的最新调查进展但迄今为止未收到任何信息感到失望,并再次呼吁中国政府查明其命运和下落。”

据悉,多个人权捍卫者家属和公益组织向联合国指控中国当局对这些人权活动人士实施酷刑或虐待。因此,今年2月,特别报告员曾致函中国政府,要求其提供关于丁家喜、黄琦、黄云敏、伊力哈木·土赫提、秦永敏、张海涛和赵海通的健康状况和治疗情况的详细信息,包括最近一次接受医疗评估的日期。然而,报告员表示仅收到了其中两人的具体信息。

劳勒表示:“我对接连收到关于中国境内被监禁人权维护者所受待遇的指控感到不安,其中包括与酷刑、剥夺获得适当医疗服务及探视等权利有关的侵犯行为。”

最后,联合国人权专家呼吁中国政府应该“确保这些被拘留者能够获得家属探视、法律援助以及适当的医疗服务,同时将其关押在官方认可的拘留场所,并向拥有合法权益者提供关于其命运和下落的信息”。

二、谢菲尔德大学:以维吾尔侨民为例,针对中国的跨国镇压“可防可治”

编者注: 前两期的《CDT报告汇》栏目介绍了中国当局的跨国镇压行为。本期我们介绍英国谢菲尔德大学的最新研究报告,报告证明,只要东道国政府干预,中国当局的跨国镇压行为完全“可防可治”。

本周,英国谢菲尔德大学的一所中国研究机构(INCCS)发布了一份报告,在揭露中国当局对维吾尔和哈萨克侨民跨国镇压的同时,介绍了如何防止和反制跨国镇压。

img

报告方面

该报告采访了位于土耳其、哈萨克斯坦和英国的30多个组织。

报告首先详细阐述了中国等威权国家针对倡导人权的公民社会团体实施跨国镇压的手段,包括网络骚扰、监视和家庭恐吓等。“公民社会组织(CSOs) 是威权国家骚扰的主要目标,中国党国推动了跨国镇压的全球增长。中国对维吾尔和哈萨克侨民的镇压,是其在新疆维吾尔自治区‘民族政策’的延伸,也是中国境外驱动‘软实力’的关键方面,这些做法将威权主义呈现为民主的仁慈替代品。”

该报告还分析了如何预防和应对跨国镇压。例如,报告发现,“从事维吾尔相关问题的公民社会组织面临加剧的跨国镇压,并发展出自己的缓解策略,包括咨询网络安全专业人士、与地方当局互动,以及避免在线发布个人信息。这些策略通过增加知识分享、培训和监测的协调,可以作为预防策略更有效。”

具体而言,针对公民组织个人方面,报告表示这些组织应该努力确保网络安全,保护个人隐私,经常更换电话号码和寻求东道国政府的帮助。另一方面,东道国政府也应该提供足够的网络安全支持,并消除物理监视和物理暴力等。

报告还认为,东道国政府往往只重视那些涉及国家安全威胁的跨国镇压,而忽略了对这些组织个人权利的侵犯。报告批评这样的思维方式并不正确,并强调对个人权利的侵犯就是国家安全威胁。

此外,报告指出,东道国政府不应该成为跨国镇压的帮凶,相反应该成为这些组织的“避风港”。例如,报告批评了哈萨克斯坦政府,指出一些来自新疆的哈萨克人因为抗议而导致被遣返。

此外,报告还详细说明了中国的动机:“北京的策略源于其在新疆维吾尔自治区的‘民族政策’及其全球‘软实力’目标。中国官方通信指示官员监视海外维吾尔人,将他们标记为‘失联’,并通过威胁其亲属鼓励他们返回中国。”它指出,中共将维吾尔团体视为人权信息的“关键节点”,使用间谍、恐吓和虚假信息对其进行打压。

最后,报告敦促各国政府将跨国镇压视为国家安全问题,并同时优先保护人权捍卫者。

三、中国的“周边传播”正在扩大地缘政治影响力

本周,美国国家亚洲研究局旗下的“边疆研究项目”发布了一份报告,指出中国正在将其对外宣传工作的重心从全球转向其周边国家和地区,以增加地缘政治影响力。

这份报告深入探讨了由北京大学学者卢荻首创的“周边传播”概念,这一概念被视为一项新兴的研究和行动领域,旨在影响邻国对中国的论述。

img

报告封面

该报告的核心论点之一是,中国正在寻求基于“亲和力”和“包容性”等文化共性,来打造一个“周边命运共同体”。这一共同体将服务于中国的地缘政治利益,通过推广一个“中国新时代对外话语体系”,讲述中国善举的正面故事。

该报告指出:“这种方法将‘跨界民族’视为一种可利用的资源,因为共享的文化特质,如服饰、食物和语言,可以作为连接周边地区的桥梁,使当地民众更容易接受国家精心编织的关于中国现代化的叙事。”这一策略的实施,旨在通过文化软实力,潜移默化地塑造周边国家的观念,使其更倾向于接受中国的政治和经济主张。

报告提供了多个具体案例来阐述“周边传播”是如何付诸实施的。例如,一家位于尼泊尔加德满都的“中国西藏书店”,它被描述为一个“对外宣传的前线”。这家书店的使命是“推动中国文化元素深度融入当地人民的日常生活场景”。这种文化渗透不仅仅是推广书籍,更是通过具体的生活场景,让当地民众在日常生活中接触和熟悉中国文化,从而在情感上与中国建立更紧密的联系。

此外,报告还讨论了地名使用的转变,例如从“西藏”(Tibet)到“西藏”(Xizang)的转变,以此作为削弱西藏独立理念和彰显其国家归属感的一种方式。这种语言上的微小调整,实际上反映了中国在文化和政治领域施加影响力的深层意图。

报告还指出,在技术层面,中国正在利用人工智能来持续生成动态、算法化的宣传内容。学者刘元和陈思强调了一场正在出现的“认知战”,其战场就是周边国家民众的思想。他们认为:“这一策略的实施,不仅包括传统的媒体和文化交流,还正在向数字领域延伸。通过利用人工智能技术,中国可以大规模、自动化地生产针对特定受众的宣传内容,从而在信息战中占据优势。”

报告表示,这种利用先进技术进行宣传的方式,使得信息传播的效率和精准度大幅提升,从而能够更有效地塑造和引导舆论。

最后,该报告总结道,这些举措共同构成了中国在周边地区扩展地缘政治影响力的综合战略。相较于其之前的“全球战略”,“周边战略”相对成功,影响深远,值得国际社会持续关注。

刚果(金)和肯尼亚现外交紧张

19 August 2025 at 05:15
18/08/2025 - 22:52

在非洲,刚果民主共和国(la RD Congo)和肯尼亚(le Kenya)之间的外交关系在刚刚过去的周末里出现恶化。金沙萨(Kinshasa)当局现已就内罗毕(Neirobi)官方于上周五(2025年08月15日)任命了一位驻戈马(Goma)总领事进行沟通。本台法广非洲组(RFI Afrique)报道说,戈马(Goma)在7个月前就已被刚果(金)东部反叛武装团体[刚果河联盟/03月23日运动](AFC/M23)攻占。金沙萨对肯尼亚宣布的这一任命感到气愤(colère)。刚果(金)公民运动团体Lucha要求暂停与肯尼亚之间的外交和经济关系。

本台法广(RFI)法文报道说,刚果民主共和国la RD Congo)和肯尼亚le Kenya,中文也有译作肯亚共和国)之间的紧张关系在上周末进一步加剧。肯尼亚总统威廉·鲁托(Président William Ruto)于2025年08月15日星期五任命Judy Kiara Nkumiri为驻戈马总领事,引发金沙萨(Kinshasa)愤怒。刚果(金)认为,这一决定不适当(inappropriée)。

-- 刚果(金)当局不认可内罗毕的这个任命 --

据本台法广(RFI Afrique)非洲通讯员于2025年08月17日星期天发自金沙萨(Kinshasa)的法文更新消息。肯尼亚总统府对外宣布的这一新任命,在社交媒体引起骚动。刚果(金)政府在周六(2025年08月16日)解释说,尚未正式接到来自肯尼亚当局的通报。不过,上述两国外长当天就双边关系的状况交换了意见。

同一消息说,在两位外长通话之前,刚果(金)政府曾在一份声明中认为,在一个被卢旺达支持的叛军AFC/M23所占领的城市中,这样的任命是“不适当”的(inappropriée)。刚果(金)重申,在其领土上指定外国领事机构的负责人,必须获得其事先同意。金沙萨对此予以警告,并呼吁内罗毕要保持“谨慎”(la prudence),以“避免出现不解(incompréhension)、炒作(spéculation),或对反叛团体AFC/M23的非法占领(l'occupation illégale)显露合法化”。

-- 刚果(金)民间团体敦促金沙萨强硬反应 --

本台法广(RFI)非洲通讯员在其发自金沙萨(Kinshasa)的这篇法文报道的最后一个段落中指出,刚果(金)公民运动LUCHA认为,其政府的回应不够强硬,并要求暂停与肯尼亚的外交和经济关系。LUCHA团体认为,内罗毕的这一举动不仅是对国际法的一种“冒犯”(un affront),还释出了一个危险的信号(un signal dangereux):即对通过以“武力”(la force)与“恐吓”(la terreur)手段强行占领的行为给予“正常化”。就此,这个刚果(金)公民运动团体的一名活动积极份子(un militant)接受了本台法广(RFI)法语记者的采访。

特朗普白宫会晤泽连斯基:"战争应尽快结束" 泽连斯基称:最好的一次“对话”

19 August 2025 at 05:15
18/08/2025 - 23:12

美国总统特朗普周一(8月18日)在白宫会晤乌克兰总统泽连斯基,表达了对乌克兰和平前景的乐观态度,称“这场战争将会结束”。特朗普同时表示,俄罗斯总统普京"已准备接受乌克兰的安全保障安排",特朗普并承诺:美国将参与乌克兰未来的安全保障。泽连斯基则称,此次与特朗普的会晤是“最好的一次对话”。

综合法新社、路透社报道,这场关键会晤的氛围与今年2月底特朗普当众"羞辱"泽连斯基的场景截然不同。特朗普当地时间13时15分在白宫迎接乌克兰总统时,赞扬了他身着深色西装和衬衫的装束,而非往常的军装风格。泽连斯基上次因穿着和没有充分表达感激而遭共和党支持者批评,而这一次泽连斯基一进到椭圆形办公室先向特朗普表示感谢:“感谢您的邀请,非常感谢您为结束这场杀戮、制止这场战争所做的个人努力。”

美国“将参与”乌克兰未来的安全保障

特朗普在与泽连斯基共同出现在椭圆形办公室时说,"结束乌克兰冲突并不需要事先达成停火协议"。特朗普说,“我认为不需要停火”。“我知道这可能是件好事,但我也理解从战略上讲,有的国家或许并不愿意这样做。”

特朗普并承诺:美国将参与乌克兰未来的安全保障。特朗普向在场的记者表示:“他们是第一道防线,那是欧洲。但我们也会提供帮助。我们将参与其中。”特朗普说,“我们将给予他们非常好的保护”,并重申安全保障应在北约框架之外“另行设计”,以便获得莫斯科的接受。

特朗普并重申希望在条件合适时与俄罗斯总统普京举行三方会谈,并称他将在当天晚些时候致电曾在上周五于阿拉斯加会晤过的俄罗斯领导人。

泽连斯基:“最好的一次对话”

乌克兰总统泽连斯基周一在白宫会晤后表示,他与美国总统特朗普就解决本国战争问题进行了“最好的一次”对话。

泽连斯基表示,“我认为我们与特朗普总统进行了非常好的交谈,这确实是最好的一次,我们讨论了一些极其敏感的问题。”当时,泽连斯基与特朗普及多位欧洲大国领导人一同坐在会议桌旁。

欧洲领导人“集体声援”

在特朗普与泽连斯基的双边会谈后,多位欧洲领导人陆续抵达白宫,表达对乌克兰的支持。

北约秘书长马克·吕特、欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩和英国首相斯塔默率先抵达。随后,德国总理默茨、意大利总理梅洛尼、芬兰总统斯图布及法国总统马克龙也先后入场。

与此同时,乌克兰战事仍在持续。哈尔科夫一处俄军无人机袭击造成7人死亡。俄方称,乌军在赫尔松和顿涅茨克地区的袭击造成2人死亡。



Key takeaways so far from Ukraine talks in Washington

19 August 2025 at 04:37
Watch: Key moments from Zelensky-Trump White House talks

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky returned to the White House on Monday to meet US President Donald Trump for fresh talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

Several European leaders also upended their plans to attend the meeting, days after Trump met Russia's President Putin in Alaska for a summit that failed to yield a ceasefire.

Here are the key takeaways from the talks in Washington.

Zelensky launches charm offensive

Given his acrimonious last visit to the Oval Office in February, the Ukrainian president went to considerable lengths to be collegial and charm his American hosts - including a flurry of six "thank yous" within the first few minutes of the meeting.

The last time he was at the White House, Zelensky was scolded by Vice-President JD Vance for a perceived lack of gratitude for US support for Ukraine during the war.

Another point of contention in February's meeting - Zelensky's attire - also made a return.

This time, Zelensky was dressed in a dark suit rather than his traditional military garb, and appeared well prepared with a joke when asked about his outfit by the same reporter who had previously criticised him for not wearing a suit to the Oval Office.

After the reporter told him that he looked "fabulous", Zelensky shot back that he was wearing the "same suit" as last time, eliciting laughter from the reporters, Trump and other officials in the room.

"As you see, I changed," he added.

Zelensky also sought to play to Trump's family during the meeting, handing the US president a letter from Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska to be delivered to Melania Trump.

"It's not to you — to your wife," he said.

The delivery of the letter comes just days after Trump hand-delivered a letter from Melania to Vladimir Putin while in Alaska, in which she called on Putin to protect "the innocence" of children and "nurture the next generation's hope".

"She sees the heartbreak," Trump said of his wife's letter to Putin.

"She would love to see it end. And she says it very openly, very proudly, and with great sorrow, because so many people have been killed."

Trump hints at security guarantees

One of the questions put to Zelensky was about what he would need from the US to guarantee his country's security. Was it troops, intelligence, equipment?

In a moment that conveyed the sense of urgency he seemingly tried to suppress throughout much of the press conference, Zelensky leaned forward in his chair and said, emphatically: "Everything."

"We need a strong Ukrainian army," he added. "It's about weapons, people, training missions and intelligence."

Pressed on this by reporters, Trump made several references to security guarantees for Kyiv.

He said that Europe would be the "first line of defence" for Ukraine but promised to also be "involved".

"We'll give them good protection," the president said at one point.

This is the most decisive Trump has ever sounded on the issue of security guarantees, which are generally seen as paramount to any sort of deal with Russia.

On Monday, the US president said that during last week's Alaska summit Putin had accepted that there would be security guarantees for Ukraine as part of any peace deal.

But the lack of detail on what exactly these guarantees might consist of is concerning to both Kyiv and Europe, and behind closed doors leaders will no doubt try to impress on Trump that the US deterrent needs to be more than just symbolic.

A continued flow of weapons to Ukraine would be welcome; a promise of American boots on the ground would be even more consequential.

Such a level of commitment may be difficult to obtain, at this stage, from the US.

But the fact that Trump did not rule it out altogether will be giving Ukraine and its allies hope that he could be persuaded.

A trilateral meeting on the cards?

One of Trump's much-touted objectives is to organise a three-way meeting with Zelensky and Putin.

Before his talks with European leaders on Monday, he said it was now a matter of "when, not if" such a meeting would take place.

While this may be an easier endeavour than defining the terms of a peace deal, it will by no means be straightforward.

For months, Zelensky has been pushing to meet Putin. This was likely a way of proving his argument that Russia is not serious about pursuing peace, as he knew that Putin had no interest in agreeing to a meeting of this sort.

Indeed the Kremlin has repeatedly turned this down and two weeks ago argued that the Russian and Ukrainian presidents had no reason to meet until "after the appropriate distance" between the positions of the two countries is "overcome".

Trump will be hoping that distance is now being bridged by his mediation efforts.

Trump allies look to primaries as they escalate Indiana redistricting pressure

Donald Trump’s political operation is considering primarying Indiana lawmakers who don’t embrace his mid-decade redistricting plans.

“They have a mountain of cash and even more motivation to win the redistricting wars Democrats started long ago,” a person familiar with the White House’s thinking told POLITICO.

The electoral threats are an escalation of a pressure campaign as Trump and his allies try to extract more GOP seats in Congress across the country. Indiana has been a top target of those efforts, but resistance among some rank-and-file officials has grown as a number of state lawmakers have publicly opposed those efforts in recent days.

“Politics is a team sport, and they prefer to do things with the team … but if Republicans refuse to play team ball, they will very likely begin to focus on upgrading players,” said the person, who was granted anonymity to discuss private operational plans.

The comments came as Indiana House Republicans were preparing to convene for an afternoon caucus Monday to discuss redistricting. Lawmakers have already been targeted by robocalls and text messages from a mysterious group called Forward America. There is little public information about the group and its aggressive voter outreach campaign; a POLITICO reporter who lives in Indiana has received about two dozen calls and messages in recent days.

A number of Indiana lawmakers are planning a pilgrimage to the White House later this month, responding to an invitation extended prior to Vice President JD Vance’s visit to the state to talk redistricting.

“This doesn’t get any easier for Hoosier Republicans who oppose Trump on this issue,” said an Indiana Republican who supports the redistricting push. The Indiana Republican was granted anonymity to speak openly about a sensitive intraparty issue.

The threats of primaries are the latest signal that Trump’s political shop intends to amp up the redistricting arms race as Texas lawmakers move forward this week with passing a map creating five new GOP seats in Congress. It also shows they are eager to clamp down on any discomfort within the party over creating new maps ahead of the 2030 Census.

Turning Point USA CEO Charlie Kirk said on X Monday that “We will support primary opponents for Republicans in the Indiana State Legislature who refuse to support the team and redraw the maps. I’ve heard from grassroots across the country and they want elected Republicans to stand up and fight for them. It’s time for Republicans to be TOUGH.”

The pressure on Indiana lawmakers comes as Texas is moving forward with a redraw of its congressional map at the request of Trump — and California is crafting its own retaliation.

On Monday, dozens of Texas Democrats returned to Austin after protesting redistricting by remaining out-of-state for two weeks, denying Republicans the ability to conduct legislative business. As Texas Republicans are back on path to passing their new, more aggressive gerrymander, national Republicans have turned their attention to other states like Florida, Missouri and Indiana.

A spokesperson for the Indiana House Republican Caucus did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The White House also did not respond to a request for comment.

Zambian president’s feud with late rival continues over funeral plans

19 August 2025 at 01:50

A furious row over whether the Zambian president, Hakainde Hichilema, will preside over the funeral of his predecessor, Edgar Lungu, is raging, as the former president’s family wages a legal battle in South Africa to try to stop his body from being repatriated to Zambia.

The legal fight marks the latest twist in a feud between the two men that goes back at least a decade and has now outlasted the former president, who died in South Africa in June aged 68 while being treated for an undisclosed illness.

Mourners had already arrived at the funeral in Johannesburg in June when it was halted by a high court judge, after an 11th-hour request by Zambia’s attorney general, Mulilo Kabesha. Lungu’s family said he specifically requested that Hichilema not attend his funeral.

On 8 August, the Pretoria high court ruled that Lungu’s body could be sent back to Zambia for a state funeral. Lungu’s older sister Bertha broke down, shouting across the courtroom at Kabesha as she was restrained by other relatives.

Lungu’s family then applied for leave to appeal. On Monday, the high court adjourned the case indefinitely, while South Africa’s constitutional court decides whether to hear the appeal. Meanwhile, conspiracy theories have spread, from rumours that Lungu is not actually dead to speculation that Hichilema wants to use the body for witchcraft.

Many Zambians have joked about the saga. “It’s coming home!” Kodwani Banda, a self-described “youth advocate”, posted to his 356,000 Facebook followers, with an image of white smoke rising from the Sistine Chapel chimney.

“There should have been more sympathy,” said Emmanuel Mwamba, spokesperson for the Patriotic Front, Lungu’s party. “When [government officials] came to South Africa, they were just interested in picking up the body and holding the funeral. It was very mechanical. Their approach lacked sympathy, lacked empathy, lacked a sense of Africanness, a sense of ubuntu.”

Kabesha had previously argued a state funeral with full military honours was a legal requirement, citing a court ruling on the burial of Zambia’s first president, Kenneth Kaunda. “The moment that a national mourning is declared, the law kicks in,” he told the Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation in June.

Mwamba responded that a state funeral could be held without the current president presiding over it: “His presence doesn’t make it. A state funeral is, in fact, the protocols such as the gun salute, the pallbearers being soldiers, the ceremony being handled by the defence forces.”

Sishuwa Sishuwa, a political historian and senior lecturer at Stellenbosch University, said the burial dispute had heightened political discord in Zambia.

“The faultlines have always been there, but the dispute over Lungu’s burial place has exacerbated the country’s regional and political polarisation,” he said.

“Whatever way the dispute is resolved, it will have a significant bearing on the 2026 elections … A key reason behind the government’s court action in South Africa is to reduce the political costs of burying Lungu in exile.”

Lungu ruled Zambia from 2015 to 2021, taking over when Michael Sata died in office. He then defeated Hichilema in the 2016 presidential election, which Hichilema and his United Party for National Development (UPND) party claimed was rigged.

The following year, Hichilema was sent to prison to await trial on treason charges, after his convoy did not give way to Lungu’s presidential motorcade. Four months later, after an international outcry, he was released and the charges were dropped.

Hichilema finally defeated Lungu in the 2021 elections, amid an economic crisis. Since then, he has been accused of using similar oppressive methods to his longtime rival.

In 2023, police stopped Lungu from going out for runs, saying they were “political activism” that had to be approved in advance to “ensure public safety”. His wife and children have also faced corruption charges, which they have denied and said were politically motivated.

In 2024, Lungu was banned from running in next year’s presidential election by the constitutional court, which ruled that the period from when Lungu took office in 2015 until the 2016 election counted as a full first term.

哈马斯宣布接受新停火提议

19 August 2025 at 02:45
18/08/2025 - 20:32

在全世界的目光都聚焦在白宫举行的俄乌战争谈判之际,加沙战争局势率先迎来了一些转变的希望。

周一,哈马斯宣布已接受调解方提出的一项关于与以色列在加沙地区停火的新提议。一名埃及官方消息人士向路透社表示该提议将在加沙地带实施为期60天的停火。这位消息人士补充说,在这段期间内,以色列将释放巴勒斯坦囚犯,以换取哈马斯归还目前扣押的一半以色列人质。

根据埃及国有媒体《开罗新闻》的报道,该提议还包括“以军向靠近边境地区重新部署,以便为人道援助进入加沙提供便利”。

哈马斯过去曾多次表示接受停火提议,但每次都会附加一些以色列认为不可接受的条件。

据一名接近谈判的消息人士称,此次新提议与7月由美国总统特朗普的特使威特科夫提出的方案非常相似。但当时的谈判破裂,双方互相指责对方造成谈判失败。同一消息人士称,调解方对哈马斯施加了巨大压力。

过去几个月,三位调解方,埃及、卡塔尔和美国,一直试图斡旋,但始终未能促成一项持久停火协议。与此同时,根据加沙民防部门消息,周一有19名巴勒斯坦人在以色列的轰炸中丧生。

哈马斯这一声明发布之际,以色列军方正准备全面控制加沙市及其周边的难民营,目标是彻底消灭哈马斯并解救自2023年10月7日袭击以来仍被扣押在加沙地带的人质。但这一计划因当前加沙人道局势灾难性而引发了国际社会的广泛抗议,以色列更是在周末爆发了大规模游行。

截至记者发稿前,以色列尚未对这项在开罗提交给哈马斯的停火提议作出回应。

'No-one was expecting this': European leaders rush to US to help Ukraine avoid 'capitulation'

European leaders may have rushed to Washington ostensibly to throw a protective arm around President Zelensky and head off any repeat of February's Oval Office bust-up.

But their real aim is to stop US President Donald Trump threatening long-term European security after his abrupt change of course over how best to end the war in Ukraine.

Not only did Trump drop calls for a ceasefire as a prerequisite for talks about long-term peace, he also - diplomats say - made clear he had no intention of imposing further economic sanctions on Russia.

In short, the travelling European heads of government – plus EU and Nato leaders - want to avoid not just confrontation, but also capitulation.

President Macron of France was the latest to use the C word, saying on Sunday: "There is only one state proposing a peace that would be a capitulation: Russia."

It takes a great deal for heads of government to upend their schedules at short notice – especially in August – when some are on holiday.

The French leader was enjoying water sports on the Riviera. The Italian leader, Georgia Meloni, had been in Greece.

But such was the scale of President Trump's change of strategy after meeting President Putin – and the consequent potential threat to Europe – that the European leaders changed their plans fast.

Officials say Meloni was first to invite herself along, followed closely by Macron, after which it became inevitable others would have to go too.

The leaders spent the weekend working the phones, holding no fewer than five separate group chats.

Their concern was Trump's decision to change the diplomatic goal posts after meeting the Russian leader in Alaska.

Some officials think the huge impact of these two decisions – which overturned months of western strategy – has been under-priced. Both moves shifted the US position more closely in Russia's favour.

"Things have moved very significantly and quite quickly to a timetable that no one was expecting," one European official said.

"The US sees this as a moment to strike while the iron is hot. Our question is what are we trying to achieve here?"

They added: "The European position has long been that Putin needs to show a genuine desire to get around a table and stop the war, and that would involve a ceasefire. But since Friday we have moved on from that. The question now is how we can get out of today without a blow-up. This is a moment of extreme jeopardy."

The aim for European leaders, diplomats say, is to shift White House thinking on two issues.

One, the idea that peace can be achieved simply by Ukraine ceding the Donbas to Russia. And two, that this is not just about the future of Ukraine.

"This is fundamentally about the security of our continent," one British diplomat said.

In other words, any discussion about security guarantees – as part of a final deal – would be about ensuring the wider security of Europe and not just Ukraine.

That means convincing Trump of two things: one, that questions about territory and security guarantees cannot be separated, and two, that security guarantees must be about more than verbal or textual promises.

US negotiators have talked about giving Ukraine as yet ill-defined Nato-style assurances that the west would come to Kyiv's aid against future Russian aggression.

"Nobody is clear what Trump means about a security guarantee," one official said.

"He believes that him simply saying to Putin "don't attack" is enough. That's not good enough for Ukraine or us."

Trump dropped calls for a ceasefire as a condition for talks about long-term peace after meeting Putin in Alaska last week

The Europeans, instead, are expected to argue that Ukraine's security will be guaranteed only by allowing its army to remain strong, with long-term and substantial allied military and financial support.

That would include American weapons bought by Europeans and gifted to Ukraine, plus continued Ukrainian access to US intelligence.

By definition, all that would exclude Russian demands for the demilitarisation of Ukraine.

The risk for the Europeans today is that they push Trump too hard, that he thinks he is being bullied, and that the meetings go badly.

The European delegation has been thrown together at the last minute.

It is – one official said – "quite unwieldy", and some differ on how much Europe should commit to Ukraine's future security.

What role a future European-based "reassurance" force might play in a post-conflict Ukraine remains unclear.

So the European aim today may be to slow things down and calm fevered talk about land-swap deals that should really be part of the endgame of a negotiation.

To some, that would be putting the cart before the horse.

Instead, the European leaders may look for progress on a possible trilateral summit with Trump, Zelensky and Putin; the carving out of some broad principles of any future deal; and how to have talks about talks deciding the location and framework of any negotiations.

And above all, whether this can happen only when a ceasefire of sorts has been agreed.

BBC postpones Ozzy Osbourne documentary

18 August 2025 at 23:02
Expectation/BBC/Ruaridh Connellan Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne sitting togehter on a sofa with two small dogsExpectation/BBC/Ruaridh Connellan
The film is said to have "unique and intimate access" to the Osbourne family

The BBC has postponed the broadcast of a documentary showing the last years of Ozzy Osbourne's life, which had been scheduled to be broadcast on Monday.

Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home had been due to air on BBC One at 21:00 BST, but was removed from the schedule earlier in the day.

A BBC spokesperson said: "The film has moved in the schedules and we'll confirm new transmission details in due course."

No reason was given for the postponement of the one-hour film, which will show the rock star's move back to the UK and the run-up to his farewell concert in Birmingham in July and his death at the age of 76 later that month.

The documentary was originally conceived as a 10-part series titled Home to Roost, which was to follow Ozzy and wife Sharon's "attempt to re-start their lives" in Buckinghamshire.

As Ozzy's health deteriorated, however, it was converted to a single, hour-long film depicting the last three years of his life.

The BBC has described it as a "moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy's life, told through unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family, including Sharon, Jack and Kelly".

However, it was scheduled to be screened less than a month after his death, and less than three weeks after Sharon and their children made a highly emotional appearance in front of crowds in his home city of Birmingham on the eve of his funeral.

The film was replaced in the BBC One schedule by an episode of Fake Or Fortune?

How a nine-year-old girl got caught up in a gangland shooting

The Metropolitan Police is offering a reward of up to £15,000 for information to help find the gunman

On a May evening in Dalston last year, a motorbike rider, unnoticed by passers-by, approached a busy restaurant, pulled out a gun, and opened fire. Customers dived for cover. Three men were struck by bullets.

"Within seconds, all hell broke loose," said Det Insp Ben Dalloway from the Met Police.

"Six shots were fired into the restaurant by this gunman on this high-powered bike, who then fled the scene immediately." The three men who were injured were the intended targets.

But also in the restaurant was a nine-year-old girl, who was eating ice cream with her family, and was hit in the head by a stray bullet.

The gunman fled the scene and has never been found. The force is now offering up to £15,000 for information to help find him.

On the evening of the shooting, Riley drove in a stolen car past the restaurant several times to ensure the intended targets were present

Another man, Javon Riley, 33, was alleged to have played a key role that night.

Riley was found guilty of three charges of attempted murder and causing grievous bodily harm with intent against the girl, at the Old Bailey on Monday.

He told his trial he believed he was taking part in a robbery and refused to name the man who hired him.

"I cannot give you that. I fear for my safety and my family," he told the court.

Riley's trial heard the shooting appeared to be part of an ongoing dispute between two rival gangs, the Hackney Turks and the Tottenham Turks.

The court heard he was seen on 29 May driving past the restaurant in Kingsland High Street, several times, checking out the targets were there.

"There's been a long history of violence between these two organised crime groups," said Det Insp Dalloway.

"There's been several murders, there's been several shootings."

The little girl, who cannot be named because of her age, survived the gunshot but was left with life changing injuries.

"She does have the bullet still lodged in her brain," DI Dalloway said.

"Obviously she's suffered. Having said that, she has made a really, really good recovery."

He said she had returned to school and was able to walk and talk.

The gunman, who was on a Ducati Monster motorcycle, has not been found

The Met is offering a reward of up to £15,000 for information to help find the gunman. But it is struggling to get people to come forward.

Commander Brittany Clarke, from the force, said: "We really understand the reasons for people not wanting to speak to police, we understand that there's community mistrust, and also they're scared.

"We see these incidences of violence and we really want to help."

DI Dalloway added: "At the end of the day, a nine-year-old girl has suffered.

She's got a bullet lodged in her brain and it's miraculous that she didn't die.

"There has got to come a point where we say enough is enough."

【首版商保创新药目录初审名单公布】

2025年8月12日,国家医保局发布《关于公示通过2025年国家基本医疗保险、生育保险和工伤保险药品目录及商保创新药目录调整初步形式审查的药品及相关信息的公告》,共有534个药品通过基本医保目录形式审查,121个药品通过商保创新药目录形式审查。

与往年不同,今年目录调整中新增商保创新药目录,与基本医保目录同步申报,这也是国家医保局首次制定商业健康保险创新药品目录。5款CAR-T细胞疗法高值创新药、双靶点GLP-1药物替尔泊肽注射液和一款四价流感病毒亚单位疫苗等药品通过初审。

公告显示,目录调整将分为企业申报、形式审查、专家评审、谈判竞价/价格协商等多个环节,目前通过形式审查,代表该药品具备参与目录调整后续工作流程的资格,不代表其已经纳入目录。

健言:从公示药品数量和种类上看,商保创新药目录初审名单,给人最直观的感受是“多”——药企踊跃参与,表明创新药进目录的需求非常旺盛,但这些药品尚未经过技术评估,最终能谈成多少还无法判断。CAR-T药物此前多次冲刺医保失败,是因为价格非常昂贵,基本医保或患者自费难以负担,建立包括商业保险在内的多层次支付体系,有助于实现这一类创新疗法的可及性,虽然结果尚未可知,但这种尝试很有意义。(华中科技大学同济医学院药品政策与管理研究中心主任 陈昊)
