中国大陆军方星期四（11月13日）在社交平台引用外交部针对日本首相高市早苗涉台言论的回应，用日文警告日本若胆敢武力介入台海局势，中方必将迎头痛击。
中国外交部发言人林剑星期四在例行记者会上说：“如日方胆敢武力介入台海局势，将构成侵略行为，中方必将迎头痛击！”
解放军新闻传播中心平台“中国军号”社交平台X（前称推特）账号同日晚间以中、日、英三文，转发了林剑的上述回应。
中国副外长孙卫东也在星期四奉示召见日本驻华大使金杉宪治，对高市的言行提出严正交涉。
孙卫东批评高市的涉台言论“极其错误、极为危险，粗暴干涉中国内政，严重违背国际法和国际关系基本准则，严重破坏战后国际秩序，严重违背一个中国原则和中日四个政治文件精神，严重破坏中日关系政治基础，严重伤害中国人民感情”。
中国今年10月的物价出现小幅回升，但并未打消市场对通货紧缩风险的担忧。中国国家统计局官员星期五（11月14日）表示，中国市场需求拉动仍显不足，价格总体低位运行，下阶段要继续扩大国内需求，纵深推进全国统一大市场建设，优化市场竞争环境，推进重点行业产能治理，改善供求关系，促进价格合理回升。
中国国家统计局星期天（11月9日）公布的宏观数据，显示中国今年10月的居民消费价格指数（CPI）四个月来首次上涨，同比涨0.2%，扭转数月来复苏停滞甚至下滑的局面。
自2022年10月以来一直处于负值的工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI），10月同比再降2.1%，但降幅与9月相比放缓0.2个百分点，连续第三个月收窄，表明企业利润压力减轻。
中国国家统计局新闻发言人、总经济师、国民经济综合统计司司长付凌晖，星期五出席国务院新闻办新闻发布会，介绍2025年10月份国民经济运行情况，并在记者提问环节中，回应了中国经济中的价格低位运行因素是否正在开始缓解。
付凌晖指出，10月份居民消费价格出现积极变化，主要表现在环比涨幅扩大，同比由降转涨。从环比来看，10月份CPI环比上涨0.2%，涨幅比上月扩大0.1个百分点。CPI环比涨幅扩大主要是由于国庆、中秋假期消费扩大和工业消费品价格上涨带动。
假日旅游出行需求旺盛，带动交通和住宿价格上涨。10月份，服务价格环比上涨0.2%，影响CPI环比上涨0.07个百分点。其中，宾馆住宿、飞机票和旅游价格环比分别上涨8.6%、4.5%和2.5%。
假日用餐需求增加，也带动食品价格上涨。10月份，食品价格环比上涨0.3%，其中鲜菜、羊肉、鲜果、虾蟹类和牛肉价格环比涨幅在0.5%和4.3%之间。
付凌晖续指，从同比看，10月份居民消费价格同比上涨0.2%，上个月是下降0.3%。扣除食品和能源后的核心CPI同比上涨1.2%，涨幅比上个月扩大0.2个百分点，连续六个月涨幅扩大。居民消费价格同比由降转涨，主要是国内市场供求关系改善，服务价格和工业消费品价格回升带动影响。
提振消费专项行动有效实施，治理企业无序竞争，也带动工业消费品价格上涨。不过，国际金价上涨对国内的传导效应也影响了CPI回升。
对于下一阶段的PPI走势，总的看PPI运行呈现积极变化，有利于改善企业经营，促进经济循环。下阶段要持续扩大国内需求，释放消费潜力，增加有效投资，强化创新驱动，规范市场竞争秩序，推进重点行业产能治理，促进工业品价格合理回升。
付凌晖指出，今年以来，受多重因素影响，工业生产者价格总体上在下降。随着扩大国内需求政策显效，重点行业产能治理积极推进，发展新动能逐步壮大，8月份以来工业生产者出厂价格出现积极变化，同比降幅连续收窄。从10月份情况看，PPI继续改善。
10月份工业生产者出厂价格同比下降2.1%，降幅比上月收窄0.2个百分点，环比上涨0.1%，为年内首次上涨。付凌晖指出，这主要是规范市场竞争秩序，季节性用能需求增加，以及国际有色金属价格上行的输入性影响共同作用的结果。
10月份PPI同比降幅收窄，主要是因为提振消费各项措施显效、发展新动能成长壮大，以及重点行业产能治理效果显现。
付凌晖指出，今年以来，在消费品以旧换新加力扩围的同时，顺应消费升级需要，扩大优质消费品供给，促进文化、体育消费、品质消费潜力释放，带动了价格上涨。此外，随着中国绿色转型步伐加快，新能源产业快速发展，动力电池和储能设施需求扩大，也带动相关原材料价格上涨。
重点行业产能治理效果显现，全国统一大市场建设纵深推进，重点行业市场竞争秩序得到规范，也带动相关行业价格改善。10月份，光伏设备及元器件、电池制造、汽车制造业的价格同比降幅分别比上月收窄1.4个、1.3个和0.7个百分点。
台湾网红温子渝（网名“八炯”）和陈柏源（网名“闽南狼”）被福建警方悬赏征集两人涉嫌分裂国家的违法犯罪线索后，有网民以“斩杀行动处”为名，在网络上号召到台中市祥和街伤害陈柏源，并承诺成功者奖励100万元新台币。陈柏源预计将就此事报案，由警方追查相关网民的真实身份。
综合台湾《联合报》和TVBS新闻网报道，有网民在社群媒体“Threads”上成立名为“斩杀行动处”的账号，账号简介写着“立志斩杀赖清德，活捉蔡英文”，并声称要在台中市祥和街组织“斩杀陈柏源行动”，成功者可获现金奖励100万元新台币。
陈柏源星期四（11月13日）在社交平台分享上述账号贴文，并发文质疑：“请问这算犯法吗？”他隔天（14日）又在社交平台发文说，自己已经到达祥和街，“要斩杀我的人勒？”
据悉，陈柏源将前往台中第五分局东山派出所报案，由警方追查相关账号的真实身份。
对于网上响应中国大陆公安通缉悬赏、威胁在台中伤害网红的情况，台中市长卢秀燕说，若有市民受威胁，绝对严格侦办，绝不宽贷，并称已交代警察局处理，警方也已到场了解，相关情形均在掌控之中。
台中警察局长吴敬田说，警局已掌握案件情况，除加强该区域巡逻，也已立案追查。
北京自6月以来，至少四次通过地方公安对台湾个别台独人士或部门进行跨境司法管辖。10月28日，重庆市公安局通报指民进党立委沈伯洋通过建立台独分裂组织“黑熊学院”等方式，从事分裂国家犯罪活动，决定依法追究他的刑事责任。
随后，福建省泉州市公安局星期四（11月14日）对两名台湾网红温子渝和陈柏源发布悬赏通告，悬赏金额最高为25万元人民币（4万6000元新元）。
民进党立委吴思瑶制醋，这就是多米诺骨牌效应，中国大陆先针对沈伯洋，接着对网红和一般民众下手，意图扩展打击范围，造成台湾社会内部混乱，甚至形成言论自由的寒蝉效应。她强调，台湾应反制此类操作，而非落入背景设下的陷阱。
中国国家统计局官员星期五（11月14日）表示，从下阶段情况来看，尽管经济运行还面临不少风险挑战，但中国经济长期向好的支撑条件和基本趋势没有变化，宏观政策持续发力，市场空间逐步拓展，新质生产力培育壮大，实现全年预期目标具备较多有利条件。
中国国家统计局新闻发言人、总经济师、国民经济综合统计司司长付凌晖，星期五出席国务院新闻办新闻发布会，介绍2025年10月份国民经济运行情况。他评估，总的来看，10月份国民经济运行总体平稳，但也要看到，外部环境不稳定不确定因素较多，国内结构调整压力较大，经济平稳运行面临不少挑战。
付凌晖续称，下阶段要坚持稳中求进工作总基调，全方位扩大国内需求，着力稳就业、稳企业、稳市场、稳预期，积极推动宏观政策持续落地增效，全面深化改革开放，进一步强化创新驱动，促进经济质的有效提升和量的合理增长。
在记者提问环节中，付凌晖回应了中国能否如期达成官方定下今年5%左右的增长目标。他指出，今年以来面对国际环境复杂变化，外部不利影响加深，国内市场供求虚弱，价格运行低迷的复杂局面，各地区各部门加紧实施更加积极有为的宏观政策，国民经济顶住压力，保持稳中有进发展态势。
付凌晖分析，从宏观经济四大指标来看，中国经济平稳运行的态势没有改变，为实现全年目标打下了坚实基础。经济较快增长。前三季度国内生产总值同比增长5.2%，在全球主要经济体中位居前列。今年1月至10月份，规模以上工业增加值、服务业生产指数同比分别增长6.1%和5.7%，继续保持较快增长。
需求潜能也继续释放。付凌晖指出，在提振消费专项行动各项措施作用下，市场销售稳步扩大，前10个月社会消费品零售总额同比增长4.3%，快于上年全年。旅游出行、文化体育、网上消费持续活跃，为消费扩大注入新的动力。
坚定不移扩大开放，多元化市场拓展不断加力，中国外贸韧性持续彰显，前10个月对亚细安、欧盟、共建“一带一路”国家进出口分别增长9.1%、4.9%和5.9%，快于全部货物进出口总额增速。
付凌晖认为，下阶段，做强国内大循环，促进国内国际双循环继续发力，将有利于拓展市场空间，促进市场需求进一步扩大。
以人工智能、数字经济、绿色经济为代表的新质生产力加快打造，新产业新动能茁壮成长，也为中国经济高质量发展增添新的动力。智能产品制造增势较好，前10个月，智能无人飞行器制造、智能车载设备制造增加值同比分别增长54.7%、25.5%。绿色材料生产保持较快增长。前10个月，生物基化学纤维、碳纤维及复合材料产量分别增长18.9%和12.8%。
付凌晖指出，今年以来，更加积极有为的宏观政策加紧实施，“两重”（国家重大战略实施和重点领域安全能力）建设和“两新”（推动新一轮大规模设备更新和消费品以旧换新）政策发力显效，全国统一大市场建设纵深推进，带动需求扩大和生产增加，促进经济循环，对于稳定经济发挥了重要作用。
中国政府还推出5000亿元人民币（914亿新元）新型政策性金融工具，盘活使用地方债结存限额，用于补充地方政府综合财力和扩大有效投资。同时，出台措施进一步激发民间投资活力。随着存量政策和增量政策协同发力，将有助于增强经济上行动力。
近期中国市场供求也出现积极变化，企业效益逐步改善，积极因素继续累积，有利于经济向好发展。10月份工业生产者出厂价格指数（PPI）降幅连续三个月收窄，1月至9月份规模以上工业企业利润同比增长3.2%，增速连续回升。

荷兰经济部长卡雷曼斯星期四（11月13日）公布，荷兰政府代表团将于下周初前往中国，针对涉及安世半导体的争端寻求解决方案。
据路透社报道，卡雷曼斯（Vincent Karremans）在声明中说：“我部将派出一个高级官员代表团前往北京，继续努力寻找双方都能接受的解决方案。”
卡雷曼斯也对中国放宽安世半导体晶片出口规定表示欢迎，但称仍在监测情况，以确定来自安世半导体在华工厂的买卖活动，是否已全面恢复，以及何时全面恢复。
荷兰政府今年9月底以国家安全为由，强制接管隶属于中国闻泰科技的安世半导体。北京随后对安世在华工厂实施出口禁令，引发全球汽车制造供应链中断的担忧。
不过，美国总统特朗普和中国国家主席习近平10月底于韩国会晤、就经贸问题达成一定共识后，安世风波出现转机。中国已恢复出口部分安世半导体晶片，条件是购买方承诺晶片仅用于民用用途。
另一方面，接近安世半导体的消息人士告诉路透社，针对在欧部门与在华工厂之间的争端，安世客户正与公司合作寻找绕过此争端的变通办法。
这个办法并非永久解决方案，对于小型客户而言也是不可行的，但此举能减轻汽车市场所面对的部分压力。安世半导体晶片短缺在汽车市场已经影响到部分汽车和零部件的生产。
安世半导体在欧洲生产晶圆后，会运往至中国东莞的工厂进行切割和封装。上述争端导致欧洲方面停止向中国运输货物。
消息人士称，一些客户现在与安世半导体欧洲（Nexperia Europe）合作，直接从位于德国汉堡的工厂购买硅片，然后另外将硅片运往中国，再与东莞工厂签订合同进行最终封装。
路透社无法确定哪些客户正就变通方案进行谈判，也无法确定是否已有客户采用这个方案。包括大众（福士伟根）、海拉（Hella）、博世、欧摩威（Aumovio）、本田在内的汽车制造商和供应商使用安世晶片。
安世发言人称，公司正在尽一切可能，努力为客户提供支持，但未就具体计划置评。闻泰科技一名发言人则拒绝置评。
其他潜在替代方案包括用性能相近、由安森美（Onsemi）和意法半导体（STMicroelectronics）等竞争对手生产的的晶片，取代安世晶片。
报道称，从长远来看，安世欧洲分部希望扩大在马来西亚和菲律宾的封装业务。中国分部则希望使用中国制造的晶圆，取代欧洲制造的晶圆。
官方数据显示，中国10月工业产出与零售销售增速均降至一年多来最低水平。
中国国家统计局星期五（11月14日）在官网公布的数据显示，今年10月，全国规模以上工业增加值同比增长4.9%，为2024年8月以来最弱增速，低于9月的6.5%，也未达到路透社调查预测的5.5%。
数据还显示，作为衡量消费的指标，社会消费品零售总额同比增长2.9%，同样创下去年8月以来新低，低于9月的3%，略高于预测的2.8%。
长期以来，中国官员通常依靠两种策略应对经济波动：一是刺激庞大的工业体系以推动出口，应对国内消费者支出收紧的情况；二是通过公共资金投资基础设施项目以提振国内生产总值（GDP）。
不过，美国总统特朗普的关税政策凸显了中国制造业对美国这个全球最大消费市场的高度依赖。即便是中国这样如此庞大的经济体，也难以仅通过建设更多工业园区、变电站和水坝来获得可持续增长。
此次官方公布的经济指标几乎未带来短期反弹迹象，而数据连续下滑更凸显了结构性改革的紧迫性。
日本首相高市早苗11月7日在国会备询时，暗示东京可能武力介入台海，引发中日关系过去一周日益紧张。中国官媒《人民日报》星期五（11月14日）发表署名文章，批评高市的“台湾有事”论是日本领导人80年来首次在台湾问题上表达试图武装介入的野心，首次对中国发出武力威胁，用心极其险恶、性质极其恶劣、后果极其严重。
《人民日报》在署名钟声、题为“绝不容忍高市早苗在台湾问题上的越线挑衅”的文章中并警告日本，如果胆敢武力介入台海局势，将构成侵略，中国必将迎头痛击。文章并敦促东京必须立即纠正挑衅越线的错误言行，收回恶劣言论，停止在军事安全领域的危险冒进举动，否则一切后果必须由日本承担。
高市早苗11月7日在众议院质询时表示，如果“台湾有事”，且伴随武力攻击，有可能被认定为“存亡危机事态”，日本自卫队可行使集体自卫权。这番涉台言论随即引来两名前日本首相的议论，并引发中国外交部提出严正交涉和强烈抗议，批评日本领导人涉台言论性质和影响极其恶劣。
中国驻大阪总领事薛剑11月8日深夜在社媒X发文称，高市把脖子伸到不该伸的地方，“那种肮脏的头就应该毫不犹豫斩掉”，“斩首论”引起日本社会哗然。
据中国外交部官网消息，中国副外长孙卫东星期四（11月13日）奉示召见日本驻华大使金杉宪治，就高市早苗涉华言行提出严正交涉。
孙卫东表示，高市早苗日前在国会答辩时公然发表涉台露骨挑衅言论，暗示可能武力介入台海问题，性质影响极其恶劣。在中国多次严正交涉后，日本仍不思悔改，拒不撤回错误言论。北京对此强烈不满、坚决反对，向东京提出严正交涉和强烈抗议。
孙卫东指出，高市的涉台言论极其错误、极为危险，粗暴干涉中国内政，严重违背国际法和国际关系基本准则，严重破坏战后国际秩序，严重违背“一个中国”原则和中日四个政治文件精神，严重破坏中日关系政治基础，严重伤害中国人民感情，14亿中国人民对此绝不答应。
孙卫东强调，台湾问题是北京核心利益中的核心，是不可触碰的红线和底线。台湾是中国的神圣领土，台湾事务纯属中国内政。如何解决台湾问题是中国人自己的事，不容任何外来干涉。
今年是中国人民抗日战争暨世界反法西斯战争胜利80周年，也是台湾光复80周年。孙卫东表示，80年前，中国人民历经14年浴血奋战，打败了日本侵略者。80年后的今天，任何人胆敢以任何形式干涉中国统一大业，中国必将予以迎头痛击。
中国并再次敦促日本深刻反省历史罪责，立即反思纠错，收回恶劣言论，不要在错误的道路上越走越远，否则一切后果必须由东京承担。
《人民日报》星期五在署名文章中则指出，高市的言论是1945年日本战败以来，日本领导人首次在正式场合鼓吹“台湾有事就是日本有事”并与行使集体自卫权相关联，首次在台湾问题上表达试图武装介入的野心，首次对中国发出武力威胁，用心极其险恶、性质极其恶劣、后果极其严重。中国官民对此强烈愤慨、坚决反对。
文章指出，近代以来，日本军国主义疯狂对外侵略扩张，对中国犯下的罪行罄竹难书。1895年，日本通过《马关条约》强行割占台湾，实施长达50年的殖民统治，血腥镇压台湾民众反抗，大肆掠夺资源，对台湾经济、文化、民生等造成严重破坏。
1945年，中国人民历经14年的浴血奋战赢得抗日战争胜利，日本签署投降书，正式接受《开罗宣言》《波茨坦公告》等规定台湾归还中国的国际法律文件，中国收复台湾，恢复对台湾行使主权，这是中华民族捍卫国家统一的篇章，也是二战后国际秩序的重要组成部分。
文章认为，日本作为战败国，理应深刻反省历史罪责，恪守对中国和国际社会作出的承诺，以实际行动彻底反思历史罪责，充分尊重中国的主权和领土完整。但高市却试图将台湾和日本的安全利益进行绑定，从而企图为日本武力干预台湾问题提供口实，暴露出日本军事介入台海的图谋和野心。
文章续指，高市的言论不仅向“台独”分裂势力释放严重错误信号，而且严重违背《中日联合声明》中坚持“一个中国”原则的核心内容，以及2008年中日第四个政治文件中关于两国“互为合作伙伴，互不构成威胁”的共识，严重破坏了中日关系的政治基础。
《人民日报》指出，高市的涉台谬论绝非孤立的政治妄言，背后是日本右翼势力突破和平宪法束缚、谋求军事大国地位的偏执和狂妄。近年来，日本在强军扩武道路上疾行狂飙，不断架空和平宪法，彻底背弃“专守防卫”原则，图谋放弃“无核三原则”。
在此背景下，高市将“台湾有事”与集体自卫权挂钩，是为日本军事扩张寻找借口，蕴藏着军国主义死灰复燃的危险苗头。高市从频繁参拜靖国神社到否认南京大屠杀，再到极力渲染“中国威胁论”，她每一步都踩在历史罪恶的旧脚印中，企图为侵略历史翻案，为军国主义招魂。
文章指出，日本军国主义历史上多次以存亡危机为借口，发动对外侵略，包括以“行使自卫权”为由悍然制造“九一八”事变，挑起侵华战争。如今重提类似论调，难道日本想重蹈历史覆辙？
《人民日报》强调，中华民族伟大复兴、两岸统一是不可阻挡的历史大势。中国官民维护国家主权和领土完整的决心坚定不移。台湾问题是中国核心利益中的核心，谁敢触碰这条红线，14亿多中国人民、整个中华民族绝不会答应。
文章最后表示，今天中华民族有坚定意志、充分信心和足够能力挫败任何形式“台独”分裂图谋和外部干涉。玩火者必自焚，任何企图阻挠中国统一大业的势力都是螳臂当车，必将遭到坚决反制和彻底失败。
Getty ImagesThe special educational needs and disabilities system for children in England faces "total collapse" and the government must not "keep ducking" reforms, council leaders have warned.
The County Councils Network, which represents some of England's largest local authorities, said councils had deficits which will reach £4.4bn a year by the end of this parliament in 2029, as they struggled to cope with increased demand.
The government has put off planned reforms to the SEND system until next year, and a white paper setting out those reforms was delayed recently.
But ministers face pressure from Labour MPs who warn there would be political danger in watering down support for children.
SUPPLIEDThe number of Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP) - the legal document entitling children to support from local authorities - have increased, according to the Department for Education.
There were 638,745 EHCPs in place in January 2025, up 10.8% on the same point last year. The number of new plans which started during 2024 also grew by 15.8% on the previous year, to 97,747.
The County Councils Network (CCN) says one in every 20 children in England could end up needing this kind of support by the end of the decade.
Councils have a statutory duty to provide support to children with an EHCP, depending on what the document outlines.
The CCN also says demand for EHCPs alone is not the only factor driving spiralling expenditure, with "over-reliance on higher costs placements and special provision" also a factor, including "expensive private school places".
There are now record numbers of pupils in special schools. In England, there are around 194,000 pupils, compared with 109,000 in 2014/15 according to the CNN.
The CCN has projected that councils could be spending £8bn on these placements by the end of the decade.
SUPPLIEDWhile the government wrestles with provision for children, many families continue to struggle.
Amanda Quick, who has a 12-year-old son with ADHD and autism, really appreciates the support at her local Taunton café, set up specifically for parents to bring their children with special educational needs.
Amanda's son Ezra attends a specialist school, but Amanda says she had a long fight with their local authority in Somerset to get him the support he needs.
"My mental health took a hit. I couldn't cope with all the paperwork so I ended up getting a solicitor, which is about £200 an hour," she said.
Claire Naylor, who owns the café, said she felt "dismissed" in trying to get support for her six-year-old son MJ, who has non-verbal autism.
"The EHCP process became a real fight and a real battle to get those provisions put in place. We ended up having to go to court which took us over a year," she says.
"We had to spend thousands of pounds on private reports just to prove what we already knew.
"We needed him to fail to be able to prove [he needed support] which is a really really sad way of basically being heard and it affected a whole family. We lost friendships, we've lost a lot of money and a lot of time."
The CCN has called for the council deficits incurred by SEND provision to be written off and for changes to the law to focus EHCPs on those "most in need".
Councillor Bill Revans, Lib Dem leader of Somerset County Council and SEND spokesman for the CCN, said spiralling demand is fuelling the crisis and better inclusion in mainstream schools should be a priority.
"The whole system needs looking at, including EHCPs," he said.
"That pressure is unsustainable and it will make the system collapse within this parliament.
"All councils that have responsibility for special educational needs and disabilities carry a deficit on their budget which isn't included on their accounts.
"We will have no way of paying that off unless there is a solution from government."
PA MediaBut changing EHCPs is a political battleground and campaigners have warned against watering down legal protections for families.
Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has refused to say whether the government would change or abolish EHCPs.
Labour chair of the Education Select Committee, Helen Hayes, has joined campaigners saying this entitlement must stay in place.
Rachel Filmer, a parent of children with special educational needs, set up Save our Children's Rights campaign in direct response to the government refusing to commit to these plans.
"Without [EHCPs] children have no legal right to any support so things could be catastrophic," she said.
Keeping EHCPs in place but diluting them into a more generalised format that offers less tailored support is also a concern amongst campaigners, and some MPs have suggested the delay to the government's reforms are due to tension over whether to change or scrap these plans.
One said the pushback to changes to EHCPs would be "serious and significant" and would endanger already low levels of trust families have.
The Conservatives have said the delay in publishing the white paper had been "seriously damaging".
Tory MP Saqib Bhatti said: "SEND provision is vital to so many children and that's why we all need the government to get its reforms right."
He added: "Speculation that the government may scrap EHCPs has caused further anxiety to families that already face a struggle to get their children the support they need."
Reform UK are expected to set out its own plans for the SEND system soon.
The party's deputy leader, Richard Tice, recently suggested some parents were "abusing" the system – limiting support for those in "genuine need".
Phillipson favours an approach of earlier intervention, something that is welcomed by campaigners and MPs.
Schools Minister Georgia Gould, who recently inherited the SEND brief, has been visiting constituencies on a "listening" tour exercise.
A Department for Education spokesperson said the government inherited a SEND system "on its knees".
"We're determined to put that right by improving mainstream inclusion so every child can thrive at their local school," they said.
"We've held over 100 listening sessions with families and will continue engaging parents as we deliver reform through the Schools White Paper."
Phillipson has had praise from MPs for being accessible and ready to hear their thoughts, and they point to this as evidence that Downing Street has learned lessons from the summer, when numerous Labour MPs rebelled against the government's proposed cuts to welfare.
Ministers favour setting up more specialist provision in mainstream schools, but MPs have warned that there cannot be a half-hearted approach to giving schools and councils what they need.
"If SEND reform is about saving dough rather than improving the system then it's not headed in the right direction," said Labour MP Neil Duncan-Jordan.
Labour MP Rachael Maskell said that if the upcoming budget does not show that the government is adequately equipping schools and councils - such as increased workforce funding for roles such as speech therapists, health visitors and physiotherapists - then she will not be supporting reforms.
And Jen Craft, a Labour MP who has a disabled daughter, says the approach of groups like the CCN may not be the right one.
"I don't think you should be coming at it from a position of these children, these families cost too much money," she said.
Writing off billions in council deficits would be challenging for a government already facing what's widely expected to be a difficult budget, with warnings about the existing pressure on public finances.
Ministers have signalled that reform of the SEND system will focus on increasing and improving inclusive mainstream provision and early intervention, but that would require extra resource for schools.
Either way it is a challenge ministers are trying to carefully navigate, conscious of the consequences if they don't get this right.
Rebecca MiddletonWhen Rebecca Middleton became pregnant, she had no idea that she would end up in a wheelchair for the final three months before she gave birth.
Rebecca had had a difficult first trimester dealing with nausea and sickness, and began to develop pelvic pain four months into her pregnancy.
"I could hardly walk, I'd always had some problems with lower back pain in my life. But nothing that significant and it escalated quite quickly," she says.
After complaining about the pain, she was referred to an NHS physio, and eventually diagnosed with an extreme case of pelvic girdle pain (PGP), also known as symphysis pubic dysfunction.
Problems with your pelvic joints are a common symptom of pregnancy, affecting one in five expectant mothers to some degree.
"I was terrified, would I ever walk again? How would I have my baby, how would I care for it?"
Rebecca MiddletonAfter giving birth, Rebecca was in less pain, but she still struggled with basic things like walking, lifting her son or pushing a pram.
"I was disabled for seven months and had to have someone helping me all the time," she says.
"I just couldn't do the things that you should be able to do in looking after a baby, it was a really challenging time."
Prior to becoming pregnant, it was an issue Rebecca was unaware of and since her experience she volunteers for The Pelvic Partnership, a charity which helps raise awareness and support women with this condition.
It says the condition is treatable with the right action.
As soon as your symptoms start, the charity advises you get hands-on individualised treatment, including manual therapy, and ask for a referral for NHS physiotherapy from your GP or midwife.
If you aren't offered this support initially, the charity suggests going back to your GP or midwife and asking for a second opinion.
They can also refer you to maternal mental health support to help you manage the emotional impacts of living with PGP.
Dr Nighat Arif, a women's health specialist, says higher awareness and early assessment could prevent patients like Rebecca needing wheelchairs or crutches.
"Without that early identification based on a really good understanding of the female body, we leave some of these women with negative effects for life," she says.
Gynaecologist Dr Christine Ekechi says the lack of research around the condition means it is less likely to be identified and suitably treated, particularly post birth.
"We don't necessarily see them unless they then come back into a gynaecology clinic presenting with pain.
"So we don't have a great understanding as to the proportion of women that have persisting pain that has started off during pregnancy."
Victoria RobertonVictoria Roberton, co-ordinator at the Pelvic Partnership, is an example of how awareness can help.
Like Rebecca, she didn't know what PGP was when she began experiencing the condition during her first pregnancy.
She tried to stay as active as possible as advised and was referred to NHS physio sessions online and by phone, but found the pain worsening as her pregnancy progressed.
"They gave us exercises, stretches to do. By this point I couldn't do any of them. It was too painful," she says.
It got to the point where even sitting became uncomfortable for Victoria, and she was largely homebound until her baby was born.
The pain lessened after the birth of her daughter, but she began experiencing the same problem when she became pregnant with her second child.
It's not an option for many mothers, but Victoria said given her medical history she decided to pay for a private physio as the NHS wait for referral was long.
The physio gave her a full assessment and hands-on treatment including joint mobilisation, and taught her different ways to move her body to not aggravate her hip joints, which helped ease the pain.
Victoria still struggles with a degree of PGP today, four years on, but her second pregnancy was much easier to manage because she understood her condition and how to handle it.
Rebecca's second pregnancy has been similarly a much more positive experience.
This time round she knew she was at risk of PGP and was able to have it treated throughout her pregnancy before it became debilitating.
She has made a full recovery from PGP, just two months post birth compared to two years for her first child.
"I'm probably in better shape now than I was before either of my children because I now know what caused that pelvic girdle pain, and have had it fully treated and resolved with manual therapy," she says.
"It was five years of hell because of the pain I was in because of a lack of knowledge and understanding about the subject."
Getty ImagesBangladesh's former prime minister Sheikh Hasina has denied committing crimes against humanity during a deadly crackdown on last year's uprising that ousted her, days before the special tribunal trying her is due to deliver a verdict.
Hasina is accused of being the main architect behind hundreds of killings during the mass protests against her autocratic rule - an allegation she denies.
In her first interview with the BBC since she fled the country on 5 August 2024, she said her trial in absentia was a "farce" orchestrated by a "kangaroo court" controlled by political opponents.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Hasina if she is found guilty on Monday.
Hasina claimed the trial was destined to deliver a "pre-ordained guilty verdict".
Security has been tightened in and around the tribunal in the capital Dhaka ahead of Monday's verdict.
It will mark a significant moment for the country as well as for the relatives of those killed during the student-led anti-government protests that ousted Hasina.
UN human rights investigators have said up to 1,400 people were killed when Hasina and her government used systematic, deadly violence against protesters in the failed bid to hold onto power.
The former prime minister has refused to return from India to attend the trial.
She has been accused of personally ordering security forces to fire at protesters in the weeks before she fled.
In an email interview, Hasina told the BBC she "categorically" denied such allegations.
"I'm not denying that the situation got out of control, nor that many lives were lost needlessly. But I never issued any order to fire on unarmed civilians," she said.
Leaked audio of one of her phone calls verified by BBC Eye earlier this year suggested that she had authorised the use of "lethal weapons" in July 2024. The audio was played in court during the trial.
Hasina was formally indicted along with two others in July this year. They are former home minister Asaduzzaman Khan Kamal and former inspector general of police Chowdhury Abdullah Al-Mamun.
Prosecutors have sought the death penalty for the former, who is in hiding. The latter pleaded guilty in July but has not been handed a sentence.
Speaking about the trial, Hasina said she hadn't been able to defend herself or appoint her own lawyers.
She added her political opponents had gone after her in an attempt to "liquidate" her Awami League party as a political force.
Lawyers representing her issued a statement on Monday saying they had filed an urgent appeal to the UN raising serious fair trial and due process issues at the International Crimes Tribunal in Bangladesh.
The Awami League is already banned from standing in general elections due in February.
The BBC interview also covered other serious allegations of abuses committed during Hasina's 15-year rule, which will be heard in another case at the special tribunal. Hasina denies charges of crimes against humanity in that case too.
After Hasina was ousted from power, a number of secret jails were discovered holding prisoners who had been detained for years without any legal process. Many other critics and opponents of Hasina who had been abducted or held in these prisons are alleged to have been killed unlawfully.
Asked who was responsible for this, Hasina said she "did not have knowledge" of them.
She also denied her involvement in alleged extra-judicial killings and disappearances, which rights group say she was responsible for as the head of government during her leadership.
"This is denied in terms of my own involvement, but if there is evidence of abuse by officials, let us have it examined properly in an impartial, depoliticised process," she said.
Hasina and other senior members of her former government are also facing trial for corruption in a separate court, charges they deny.

中国10月新房售价跌势加剧，创下一年以来最大降幅，显示房地产市场需求持续疲软。
中国国家统计局星期五（11月14日）在官网公布的数据显示，今年10月，剔除保障性住房的70个城市新建住宅价格环比下降0.45%，为一年以来最大跌幅；二手房价格下跌0.66%，为13个月来最大的降幅。
目前，中国持续四年的房地产下行正在拖累经济。长期的房价下跌让购房者对房地产作为财富储存手段的可靠性产生担忧，从而抑制了购房需求。
中国最近一次楼市刺激政策在8月底出台，当时北京、上海和深圳三大城市放宽购房限制，尤其是郊区区域。不过，花旗集团大中华区首席经济学家余向荣指出，由于家庭收入停滞和城市化增速放缓，这些措施的效果不及去年9月出台的一揽子政策。
余向荣星期四（11月13日）在上海举行的媒体圆桌会上说：“房地产政策效应正在减弱，住房市场尚未触底。我们预计一年内房地产行业不会实现稳定和复苏。”
中国076两栖攻击舰首舰四川舰下水大约11个月后，在星期五（11月14日）开展首次航行试验。
据中国央视新闻报道，属于中国海军新一代两栖攻击舰的四川舰，上午9时许从上海沪东中华造船厂码头解缆赴相关海域开展首次航行试验。这次海试将主要检测验证四川舰动力、电力等系统的可靠性和稳定性。
在五艘拖船的牵引下，四川舰离开上海沪东中华造船厂码头驶向相关海域。四川舰舷号为51，满载排水量4万余吨，设置双舰岛式上层建筑和全纵通飞行甲板，创新应用电磁弹射和阻拦技术，可搭载固定翼飞机、直升机、两栖装备等。
报道称，自2024年12月下水以来，四川舰建造工作按计划稳步推进，顺利完成系泊试验和装设备调试，具备出海试验的技术条件。
美国参议院少数党领袖舒默等多名民主党参议员抨击特朗普政府，指华盛顿在新一轮对华贸易谈判中暂停了一项旨在阻止数千家中国企业获取美国技术的限制措施，并称此举将削弱美国国家安全。
据路透社报道，这项限制措施在9月29日公布，旨在阻止受制裁的中国企业通过旗下子公司规避禁令，获取关键美国设备。规定要求，凡是由先前受制裁企业持股至少50%的公司，均不得获得美国技术出口。根据WireScreen最新报告，这一措施本可使约2万家中企被纳入美国出口限制范畴。
但在中美元首上月会晤后，美国同意将这一规定推迟一年，以换取北京暂停对稀土矿出口的限制。
在一封日期为星期三（11月12日）的信中，参议员怀登（Ron Wyden）等人呼吁美国总统特朗普恢复这一规定，警告推迟执行将“让美国研发的先进计算技术面临风险，被用于推进中国的议程，而非我们自身利益”。
他们在信中写道：“暂停这些管控削弱了美国国家安全，并使阻止美国产半导体及其他先进技术流向中国国有相关实体更加困难。我们敦促您恢复这些管控措施，停止对关键国家安全工具的让步。”
议员指出，这项为期一年的暂停重新打开了“漏洞”，让被列入黑名单企业的关联公司有“一整年的时间通过重组规避规定”。
他们还批评，这项推迟是特朗普的一贯做法，旨在寻求“快速握手的协议”，以缓解贸易战造成的压力，而牺牲国家安全。他们呼吁特朗普“重新考虑这一错误策略，确保我国出口管制不再被当作谈判筹码”。
对此，白宫发言人德赛（Kush Desai）回应称：“特朗普政府已经实施严格的出口管制制度，以保障美国的经济与国家安全。”
中国科技巨头腾讯控股第三季度营收增长15%，增速超出预估，延续稳步增长势头，并在未大举投资人工智能（AI）基础设施的情况下持续吸引投资者。
据彭博社报道，腾讯控股星期四（11月13日）发布最新业绩，截至9月底的三个月营收达到1929亿元人民币（353亿新元），其中国际市场游戏收入增长43%并高于预估。第三季度净利润增长约19%。
最新业绩表明，与许多行业激进竞争对手相比，腾讯可以采取更为审慎的AI开发策略。阿里巴巴和字节跳动已投入大量资金用于AI基础设施和产品发布，但腾讯控股更侧重于将AI技术整合到核心盈利服务中，包括融入到社交平台微信和游戏发行当中。腾讯在公告中重申了这些理念。
腾讯的这种策略也不同于Meta和微软等美国硅谷巨头，其高利润率的在线内容提供了有力支撑。腾讯旗下开发团队去年凭借射击游戏《三角洲行动》大获成功，该游戏拥有3000万日活跃用户，成为全球扩张的支点。
多年来腾讯对西方大型工作室的投资也开始发力，今年夏天推出的丧尸题材动作游戏《消逝的光芒：困兽》大受欢迎。
腾讯在财报中表示：“我们持续升级混元基础模型的团队及技术架构，混元的图像和3D生成模型已处于行业领先水准。随着混元能力的不断提升，我们对推动元宝应用普及的投入，以及在微信中发展AI智能体能力所作的努力，将带来更积极的进展。”
泰国国王哇集拉隆功和王后素提达星期四（11月13日）抵达北京，开始对中国进行五天国事访问，首相阿努廷也随行。这是中泰建交50年以来泰王首次访华，也是哇集拉隆功首次对外国进行正式访问，中国外长王毅前往机场迎接。
泰国《民意报》（Matichon）引述首相阿努廷表示，此次泰王访华必将载入史册，因为这是中泰建交50年来泰国国王首次访华，值得铭记。他指出，今年恰逢泰中建交50周年，两国虽为外交关系，但交往实已延续数百年。阿努廷与外长西哈萨此次都以荣誉部长身份随行，行程中不会与北京进行任何随行外的会谈。
泰国实行君主立宪制，王室访问是其重要外交政策工具，此次访问正值哇集拉隆功登基第九年。中国驻泰国大使张建卫星期二（11月11日）在泰国主流媒体发表署名文章，表示此访不仅是一场外交盛事，更是中泰关系发展史上又一座重要里程碑。北京期待通过此访，推动中泰命运共同体建设取得更多丰硕成果，为赓续两国友好再谱历史新篇，推动两国关系迈向更加辉煌的下一个50年。
据报道，哇集拉隆功和王后素提达此行将与中国领导人会面，并还将在北京参观灵光寺、人形机器人创新中心、教育部教育技术与资源发展中心、中国空间技术研究院等；此外，还将前往故宫博物院参观一场庆祝泰中建交50周年的特别展览。
分析认为，双方极有可能讨论贸易、旅游、高铁等议题。路透社称，中国是泰国最大的进口市场，泰国去年从中国进口了价值超过800亿美元（1041亿新元）的商品；同时，中国也是泰国旅游业的重要客源地，还是其汽车等行业的主要投资者。
泰国官方数据显示，今年前9个月，赴泰国旅游的国际游客数量为2345万人次，与去年同期相比下降7.44%。中国旅行团和自由行人数出现了缩减的情况。泰媒称，泰铢升值、安全问题以及来自越南的竞争加剧，导致赴泰游客流失。
除了旅游方面的期待，今年以来，中泰之间的铁路合作也受到关注。泰国今年2月已在例行内阁会议上批准了中泰铁路合作项目二期工程，即呵叻至廊开段铁路。
北京外国语大学亚洲学院教授宋清润在《环球时报》撰文指出，泰王访华让“中泰一家亲”亲上加亲，两国将从传统的经贸互联互通，迈向共同探索未来科技前沿、培育发展新动能的新阶段。这也凸显北京“周边外交”理念的吸引力。
英国军情六处（MI6）前处长摩尔说，英国政府应该能够找到办法，批准中国在伦敦兴建新使馆的申请。
据彭博社报道，摩尔（Richard Moore）在《Mishal Husain Show》播客节目星期五（11月14日）播出的采访中说：“我相信一定能找到一条可行的路径，让他们得到一座合适的使馆，同时我们也能保留并继续发展自己在北京的那座优秀的大使馆。”
他认为：“我们在北京需要一座使馆，这一点非常重要。因此，中国获得他们的使馆是顺理成章、理所当然的。”
摩尔还说：“至于是这个地点还是别的地点，那就不是我能评判的了。”
中国方面申请在伦敦塔附近的原皇家铸币厂旧址上建设一座有望成为欧洲最大外交机构的新使馆，但计划近年来陷入争议与延宕。自当地规划机构在2022年否决申请后，英国政府接手了最终裁决权。
不过，随着英国检方9月撤销一起中国间谍案，导致中英关系再度紧张，英国政府将使馆申请的最终裁决推迟至12月。
报道称，摩尔上述表态具有重要意义，因为这可能意味着，如果英国政府支持中国建馆，立场不会与英国情报界发生冲突。
反对中国建馆计划的人士则提出多项国安顾虑，包括中国可能在英从事敌对行动、监控流亡异议人士，以及拟建地点临近伦敦金融城和敏感地下通信电缆等问题。
上月，中国外交部曾警告英国，如果不批准建馆，将面临未具体说明的后果，并暗示英国在北京建设新使馆的进度，与伦敦建馆申请的裁决存在关联。对此，斯塔默回应说，英国不会向北京施压屈服。
在法国遭受系列恐怖袭击十周年之际，马克龙承诺，国家“保证将采取一切措施防止任何进一步的袭击”。
法国总统马克龙周四晚间在法国遭受系列恐怖袭击十周年之际重申，法国“保证”将“竭尽全力防止任何新的袭击”。十年前法国遭受的系列恐怖袭击是法国历史上最致命的恐怖袭击，共造成132人死亡。
周四傍晚，在巴黎市中心新落成的“2015年11月13日纪念花园”举行的庄严仪式上，马克龙总统表示，对于2015年发动袭击的“恐怖分子”所展现的“圣战主义”，“我们已竭尽全力给予遏制”。
在首都巴黎和巴黎近郊圣丹尼十年前所有的受到袭击的地点，周四，都举行了悼念和纪念活动。在这一系列悼念活动结束后，马克龙总统发出警告说，“但“恐怖分子”所展现的“圣战主义”以另一种形式重生了，这种形式潜藏于内部，更加隐蔽，更加难以察觉，也更加难以预测，”
总统强调说，“不幸的是，没有人能够保证袭击会彻底停止，但我们可以保证，对于那些拿起武器对抗法国的人，我们将毫不妥协地予以回击。”
总统在讲话中还详尽地谈到了遇难者家属所遭受的“不公且难以承受”的痛苦。他说，“这种痛苦根深蒂固、令人揪心，每当又一次袭击降临我们的土地，这种痛苦就会再次涌上心头，从尼斯到斯特拉斯堡，儿童、成人、执法人员、教师，一次又一次地成为恐怖主义的受害者。今晚，我们心中充满悲痛。”
马克龙还说，（法兰西）“共和国顶住了”。马克龙还列举了过去十年采取的反恐措施说，“在过去的十年里，国家变得更加坚固了。”
（德國之聲中文網）「我電影的路是窄門。」46歲香港電影導演周冠威平靜地說。10年前他有份執導政治寓言電影《十年》，描繪2025年香港政治全面收緊，中國官媒批評該電影是「思想病毒」，周冠威亦付出代價——近4年時間沒有人敢與他合作。
2019年他創作的愛情電影《幻愛》大獲好評，事業出現轉機，同年香港爆發反修例運動，周冠威開始拍攝社運紀錄片《時代革命》。消息曝光後，投資者、演員退避三舍，連借場地拍攝新片也處處碰壁。最新電影作品《自殺通告》被迫改在台灣拍攝，香港當局至今仍未批出上映許可。
周冠威說，外界看他是一位很抗爭的導演，但實際他與很多香港人一樣也要服從。
自焚與新生
周冠威的「窄門」路，從10年前的電影《十年》開始。該片邀請5位新晉導演各自創作一條短片，想像10年後的香港社會變化。
周冠威負責執導〈自焚者〉，短片以偽紀錄片方式製作，假設2025年的香港，有社運領袖因違反涉及國家安全的《基本法》23條，在獄中絕食死亡，激發支持者在英國駐港總領事館前自焚。他說，劇本想拷問一點：香港人願意為自由、民主、公義價值犧牲到什麼程度？
「當時我很憤慨，因為政府或者中國共產黨都有一些說話，令我覺得2012雙普選會再次幻滅。 我覺得整個社會、整個香港，都活在一個這樣的謊言底下，那種委屈求全的謊言的感覺令我很痛苦。我從來沒有寫過政治的題材，我又不遊行，我亦都不是社運人士，但是我怎樣作為一個導演，或者作為一個公民的責任——電影應該都有社會責任——我就寫了一個這樣的短片。」
《十年》2015年上映時引起香港社會熱議，獲香港電影金像獎「最佳電影」，但中國官媒《環球時報》發表社評，批評電影是「思想病毒」，又指電影所描繪的場景，10年後不可能在香港出現。
周冠威自嘲，〈自焚者〉猶如他電影事業的「自焚行為」，後來有電影公司原本答應投資新電影，要求找知名度高的演員。他找了8個月，接觸10多名演員都失敗，有著名香港女演員看了劇本後感動落淚，一度表示願意出演，後來透過經理人改口辭演，「都是接受不了，這個都是冒險。」
最終投資者撤回投資計劃，周冠威經歷多年「空窗期」，直到2017年中，他創作的愛情電影劇本《幻愛》成功申請香港電影發展局的「電影製作資助計劃」，獲批120萬港元的資助。
周冠威說，雖然資助額不多，但有了「官方機構」的認證，總算遊說到其他投資者。最終電影名利雙收，成為該年香港最高票房的十大電影之一，亦在香港電影金像獎獲6項提名，在台灣金馬獎獲最佳改編劇本獎。
他慨嘆：「命運就是這樣，你關了一個門，另一個門會開。」
《幻愛》的成功，沒有讓周冠威從此避開政治題材。2019年香港爆發反修例運動，逾百萬港人上街示威，周冠威為此拍攝紀錄片《時代革命》。
他說，拍攝《時代革命》時的掙扎不多，因為拍攝〈自焚者〉時，已經直面最敏感題材，「自焚者是一個尺度的極限，一方面好像是（電影事業）自焚，另一方面我生出很多自由的心靈空間，可以容讓更多的冒險、更多的禁忌，我可以去思考、去拍攝、去表達。」
「我最記得有一個2019年我拍攝《時代革命》的時候，有個手足和我說：你知道我的政治覺醒是什麼嗎？是你的電影《十年：自焚者》。這些就是力量，這些就是會喚起公民意識，喚起我們對自由、對公義、對誠實的執著。」
周冠威形容，有死就有生，所有的付出也生長出另一些種子。
抗爭與服從
2021年《時代革命》在坎城首映，同年獲得金馬獎最佳紀錄片。當時香港已經實施《國安法》超過一年，周冠威是該套紀錄片唯一具名的製作人員。他坦言是有風險，「我拍《十年》會影響我事業，我拍《時代革命》會影響我會否坐牢。」
後來開拍喜劇電影《一人婚禮》時，周冠威甚至找了一位後備導演以防不測。被捕的風險讓他痛苦，「其實我有時候也會發惡夢，會不會有警察過來，在（拍攝）現場捉走我？」
後來他思考，為了未到的苦難提早恐懼不值得，做了最壞打算要坐牢，豁出去反而換來心安。「我身邊的人會替我很恐懼，但我會說不要啦。你們不要怕，要來的才怕，要來的才承受。」
周冠威說，外界一般認為他是一個很敢「抗爭」的人，其實自己亦有服從的時候，「我怎會不服從呢？我現在仍然在香港生活，你一定要面對這個制度。我做的事不是畫一幅畫，我做的是電影，我需要和很多人合作，而很多人不是和你一樣抗爭的。」
他找合作伙伴時要小心翼翼，對方婉拒後就不再遊說，怕會連累他人，就算接受訪問也不太願意提起合作過的演員。周冠威說，這也是一種服從，「我永遠不會單單是一個抗爭者，我同樣也是服從者，我服從得仍然很痛苦。」
這種服從如影隨形。訪問在台北一間書店進行，周冠威隨手拿起作家香港陳慧的小說《弟弟》，說很喜歡陳慧和韓麗珠的作品，轉念又想，這樣做會不會影響到作者？「你說多慘，我拿著她的書，我怕影響了她。」
周冠威說，服從恐懼氣氛，人的心靈就不自由。試過有香港的朋友表示，不敢在社交媒體分享他電影作品的帖文，那位朋友移民後，仍然不敢分享，「移民原來同樣恐懼，解決不到這種恐懼，你說那種恐懼多麼討人厭、多麼需要痛恨，為何會鉗制我們心靈到這個地步？」
今年10月，他來台出席《十年》10週年重映的映後座談會，慨嘆現時《十年》短片《冬蟬》最觸動自己。該片講述一對情侶把舊日的物品、甚至把自己做成標本保存的故事。
周冠威語帶哽咽說，就像2025年的香港，很多東西已經不能講，很多關係都要封存起來，「這些人性、這些演員，不再能夠跟我合作......即使他們支持我、但都不能跟我合作，所有事已經不同了。」
走窄門的人
今年11月周冠威最新作品《自殺通告》在台灣上映，這部作品「香港」成份大減。全劇的香港演員只有黃秋生一位，劇組在香港找不到一間學校願意借出場地拍攝，唯有移師台灣拍攝。周冠威笑言，自己一直習慣用廣東話執導，現時要改用國語溝通很難，「其實我用國語的時候，我自己都不知道自己說什麼。」
電影今年8月4日送交香港電影報刊辦進行電影檢查，至今仍然沒有回音，暫時在香港上映無期。
「現在好悲哀。香港電影以前不會有政治審查的，《國安法》之後（國家安全）入了電檢這個條例，我的新電影就是被政府壓著了。」周冠威說，電影探討學童自殺問題，無關政治題材，亦是架空世界的故事，若香港無法上映就很難回本，對他會是很大打擊，日後要遊說投資者開拍新電影更困難。
根據香港電影金像獎的規定，電影必須要在香港首輪公開售票放映，方可報名。一旦《自殺通告》不能在香港上映，意味日後無緣競逐獎項。
這方面周冠威看得開，他明白很多人想保存和爭取香港價值，但他認為探究是否仍在拍「香港電影」，本身是很悲哀的事。「你恐懼沒有了這個身份，你恐懼不知道怎樣去定義（香港電影）。你的身份不夠肯定，你的心不夠踏實——因為你受了傷。」
他說，香港社會今日太少眼淚能夠宣洩，但電影能夠明白政治傷痕、甚至療癒。「被政局、被恐懼牽制的時候，你找些方法。每個人有不同的方法，我是電影。我拍《十年》我哭，我拍《時代革命》我哭，我拍我的新片《自殺通告》我都在哭。」
本身是基督徒的周冠威用窄門比喻自己電影的路：「我的信仰就是走窄門，我電影的路是窄門的，那就窄吧。其實不要緊要的，它仍然是一個門，仍然是我可以進入。」
儘管被貼上「禁片」導演的標籤，但他笑言凡事不要看得太窄：「我10年裡面有5套電影，比很多香港電影的導演其實都很幸福，非常幸福，我怎會很悲情呢？」他說，未來的電影作品不會局限在特定地方拍攝，香港、海外都有機會。
被問10年後的香港又是怎樣？周冠威說理性上要悲觀，但他選擇樂觀，「如果不是，我怎樣積極去面對我的人生？」他想像，2035年那是一個自由的香港，戲院可以重映《十年》、《時代革命》。
「我希望我的下一代，可以在香港的戲院自由地去觀看，或者讓他感受到，我們香港歷史這麼多的血與淚，所有的意義是什麼。」

PA MediaMembers of the House of Lords have put forward more than 900 proposed changes to the law to deliver assisted dying, ahead of a debate on Friday.
Experts believe the number of amendments, which is understood to be 942, is unprecedented, but opponents say significant alterations are needed to ensure any scheme can operate safely.
The volume of amendments has sparked a letter from 65 supportive peers to their colleagues in the Lords, raising concern about possible delaying tactics.
Those opposing the bill have been urged not to "frustrate" the passage of the legislation, which has already gained the approval of MPs.
The House of Commons passed the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill in June, and it passed its first stage in the Lords in September.
The required line-by-line examination of the bill that follows was delayed, following an amendment by Labour's Baroness Berger to allow a committee of peers to scrutinise the legislation further.
Parliament heard officials worked into the early hours of Thursday morning to compile the suggested changes to the bill that flooded in ahead of the next scrutiny stage, known as committee stage, which begins on Friday.
There appear to be seven opponents to the bill who have submitted 579 amendments between them.
According to the parliamentary authorities, while some bills have had more amendments tabled in total at committee stage, it sets a possible record for the number submitted in the first full list of suggested changes.
They say it is almost certainly unprecedented for the committee stage of this type of bill, known as a private member's bill, which has been put forward by backbench Labour MP Kim Leadbeater rather than the government.
Experts including Matthew England, a researcher at the Hansard Society, said the number of amendments "does appear to be a record, at least in the recent past".
Others drew comparisons to the bill to take the UK out of the European Union, which had 820 amendments in total.
A peer in favour of the legislation told the BBC that the number of amendments "looks like a delaying tactic to me... It's obviously not a coincidence."
Defending the volume of amendments, Baroness Luciana Berger, who opposes assisted dying, told the BBC that evidence to the select committee "strongly refuted any suggestion this bill is either safe or workable".
"This bill is full of holes which vulnerable people will fall through and be harmed if peers don't act to change and amend it," she added.
However, signatories to the letter highlighted how the bill had "already undergone unprecedented scrutiny" and "offers dying people the choice of a safe, dignified end while strengthening protections for the vulnerable".
Former Royal College of Nursing president Baroness Rafferty was among the 65 peers to have signed, and she was joined by scientist and broadcaster Lord Winston, former Labour leader Lord Kinnock and former Whitehall chief Lord O'Donnell.
They urged opponents to focus on refining the bill to find where "genuine improvements can be made, while respecting both the will of the Commons and the overwhelming support of the public".
In response to the letter, a source close to peers who are concerned about the bill said: "This letter is making claims directly contradicted by the evidence provided in the last few weeks at the Lords select committee by the royal colleges, professionals and independent statutory bodies.
"Evidence and facts are vital when crafting good legislation."
The bill is being treated by parties as a matter of conscience, meaning they will not instruct their MPs or peers how to vote.
The bill will become law in England and Wales only if both the House of Commons and House of Lords agree on the final drafting of the legislation - with approval needed before spring next year, when the current session of Parliament ends.
If it does pass into law, the government has four years in which to get an assisted dying service into place, meaning it could be 2029/30 before the first assisted death happens.
The legislation proposes allowing terminally ill adults with fewer than six months to live to apply for an assisted death.
This would be subject to approval by two doctors and a panel featuring a social worker, a senior legal figure and a psychiatrist.

London AssemblyThe Metropolitan Police is investigating "tens" of group-based child sexual abuse cases involving what could be described as grooming gangs, the force's commissioner has said.
An initial data search identified around 9,000 historic cases that might fall under the broad national criteria, but after reviewing 2,200 of them only about 1,200 remained in scope, Sir Mark Rowley told the London Assembly.
The commissioner warned against using "grooming gangs" as a catch-all term because offending includes abuse within families, in institutions, between peers and online.
He said the ethnicities of suspects varied and are "reflective of the diversity we see in the city".
During Thursday's meeting, the police commissioner set out details of a national review of child exploitation cases, which has prompted recent political debate.
Sir Mark said a data search had initially identified about 9,000 historic cases in London that might fall under a national definition of group-based sexual offending, which includes any case with two or more suspects and at least one victim.
He also said that figure had been widely misinterpreted as 9,000 grooming gang cases and had led to "unbalanced reporting".
He said the definition used by the national audit was far broader than the public understanding of grooming gangs and covered intra-familial offending, institutional abuse, peer-on-peer cases and online exploitation.
He told the assembly that after reviewing 2,200 of the 9,000 cases, around 1,200 remained in scope and that the number would continue to fall as the work progressed.
The commissioner said that once the initial assessment was complete, the Met expected "maybe 2,000 or 3,000 cases" to be considered for possible reinvestigation, but stressed this would still cover a wide mix of offending types, not solely grooming gangs.
"We do not see the typology reported elsewhere where there have been cases of offending committed by groups of Pakistani men on white British children being the sole or majority case," added Sir Mark.
He also said the Met recorded around 2,000 sexual offences a month, about half of which involved child sexual abuse, and warned that managing current cases alongside historic ones would require extra funding and specialist officers.
"It is important for us to use precise language and consider its impact on victims and public understanding. There is too much ready reach to simplistic analysis which risks misleading communities," he said.
Getty ImagesSir Mark's comments came during a meeting in which London Mayor Sir Sadiq Khan was accused of "taking the mickey" out of victims after previously saying there was "no indication of grooming gangs" operating in the capital.
Susan Hall, Conservative group leader, said: "In January, I asked if we had grooming gangs in London. You dismissed my question by pretending you didn't know what I meant."
London AssemblySir Sadiq responded by clarifying "what is meant by grooming gangs", according to the national inquiry announced by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in June, and outlined the support provided to victims.
The mayor told the assembly that London had "issues in relation to child sexual exploitation" and "child sexual abuse", but that these cases were different to those seen elsewhere in England.
"I've led efforts to strengthen the protection of children and those exploited by abuse and exploitation," he said.
