中国修订《渔业法》中国海警有权驱逐外国渔船

中国审议修订《渔业法》草案,将明订中国海警有权驱逐外国渔船。学者认为,关键在中国执法“管辖范围”怎么划分?台湾渔民关心,“外国”渔船是否包括台湾?

中国全国人大常委会21日初审《渔业法》修订草案,包括严格渔业捕捞管理、加强渔业资源增殖和保护、强化渔业监督管理,在涉外渔业治理、维护国家渔业权方面,与中国《海警法》衔接,明订中国海警有权驱逐外国渔船。

其中增设“监督管理”一章,明定渔业执法机构和海警机构的执法职责、措施等。中新社报道,该草案列明中国海警的渔业执法权限,并规定对违法进入中方“管辖水域”从事渔业生产等活动的外国渔船,责令其离开或者驱逐,没收鱼获、罚款甚至没收船舶。

台湾的渔业署沿近海渔业组组长刘福升在接受自由亚洲电台采访时指出,对台湾及他国的影响,必须等中方公布实际条文内容才能确定。台湾政府订有护渔标准作业程序,由海巡署在护渔范围内执行巡护勤务,并宣导渔民,超出护渔范围作业具有风险。

中方法令中的“外国”渔船 是否包括台籍渔船?

对中方修《渔业法》有权驱逐外国渔船,台湾离岛、金门无党籍县议员董森堡接受自由亚洲电台采访指出,支持不破坏生态的渔法,有利于渔业资源永续。“但不晓得他所谓外国渔船是什么定义?如果以陆方‘一中原则’,那金门、台湾都不算外国渔船不是吗?”

董森堡说,金门渔民现在大都用“一支钓”,几乎没有使用拖网渔船和流刺网,不担心中方修法对金门渔民的影响。但希望陆方对休禁渔期、休禁渔区的公告清楚,避免衍生误会。他预料,争议、影响较大的应在南海,南海四岛包括越南、菲律宾、印尼等国都宣称拥有主权。

中菲近期在南海发生多次海警船冲突碰撞。越南则有十多名渔民在南海捕鱼被中方船只包围。中方渔船在日本周边海域活动亦有增加。

今年七月,台湾离岛澎湖“大进满”渔船曾因遭中方指控违反中国休渔规定被中方扣押人船。澎湖区渔会总干事蔡月娇接受自由亚洲电台采访指出,过去两岸渔民有海峡中线默契。至于中方持续将海峡中线“内海化”,她表示,担心一定会担心,但渔民没有权力,幸好这次经前立委和前议长去沟通协调,大进满人船平安获释。

蔡月娇说:“澎湖渔船经过这次大进满教训,应该以后在大陆休渔期间,渔民就少过去中线越界捕捞。过去中方也有休渔期,很少驱赶台湾的渔船,中方渔船也会越界,台湾离岛澎湖海巡也曾扣押中方的渔船。赖清德上来以后讲话比较呛,中国大陆就比较会对付我们、拿渔民出气。”

学者:中方对“管辖范围”不明确 具有政治操作空间

台湾的国防安全研究院副研究员黄宗鼎接受自由亚洲电台采访指出,現行《中国海警法》第16条已触及中国海警有权对在中国管辖海域内航行、停舶、作业的外国船舶进行识别查证;对有违法嫌疑的外国船舶,有权采取跟踪监视等措施。

黄宗鼎认为,《渔业法》的修订可视为配套,中方对海域、海权方面的修法不会是最后一件。关键在中国法律明订的“管辖海域”,是否能被周边国家和国际公认具有合理性跟正当性?

黄宗鼎说:“中国最高人民法院2016年16号法律解释第一条曾提到其管辖海域,包括内水、领海、毗连区、专属经济区、大陆架,还有中华人民共和国所管辖的其他海域。而所谓管辖海域就是一个没有解释的解释。”

黄宗鼎指出,中方的认定与联合国海洋法公约冲突。从国际社会角度,中方很多自认的“管辖海域”是公海或他国专属经济区范围, 都属于航行自由的正当海域。“中国正透过标榜他所谓管辖海域的主张在对抗国际秩序。”

黄宗鼎表示,台海中线以东过去中方较不会去执法,如今连台湾东部海域,都有中国海警船和解放军的活动,中方把台湾周边海域当自己管辖。未来双方执法角力、冲突绝不限于渔船或渔事活动。

中国拒绝瑞典检方登上“伊鹏3号”调查


2024-12-23T15:33:41.187Z
“伊鹏3号”已离开卡特加特海峡(资料图片)

(德国之声中文网)近日,瑞典检方要求登上中国货船“伊鹏3号”进行调查的请求未获中方批准。瑞典外交部长玛丽亚·马尔默·斯特内加德对媒体表示,中方未允许瑞典检察官和警方在船上开展调查工作。而在此前的12月19日,丹麦外交部长曾表示,中国已允许丹麦、德国、瑞典等国的代表登上停靠在波罗的海超过一个月的中国货船。

当时瑞典警方曾发表声明称,“中国当局的代表正在船上进行调查,并邀请瑞典当局以观察员身份参与”,强调瑞典警察不会在船上采取任何检查措施,当时的行动也并不是由瑞典主导的初步调查的一部分。

此前,中国散装货轮“伊鹏3号”在今年11月涉嫌破坏2条海底电缆被瑞典当局通缉。瑞典及中国外交官持续针对此事沟通,该艘货船也因此在丹麦和瑞典中间的卡特加特海峡公海地区停泊了超过一个月的时间。

未获登船许可

瑞典检察官亨里克·瑟德曼表示,由于检方无法登船,调查人员既无法与船员对话,也无法进行技术检测。然而,瑞典事故调查局(SHK)在中国的协助下,已对船员进行了部分访谈,并完成了初步的技术评估。SHK局长约翰·阿尔贝克表示,目前尚不清楚这些调查结果是否与检方共享。

今年11月中旬,波罗的海两条关键通信电缆接连遭到破坏。其一是连接德国与芬兰的C-Lion 1海底电缆,另一条则连接瑞典与立陶宛的Arelion电缆。这两起事件发生在48小时内,引发欧洲政界对“破坏活动”的强烈怀疑。据船只追踪数据,“伊鹏3号”当时恰好在相关区域航行,因此成为怀疑对象。

针对相关指控,中国外交部否认“伊鹏3号”涉及破坏活动。中国外交部发言人毛宁表示,中方愿意与相关国家合作查明真相,并强调中国一直与瑞典保持密切沟通。中国虽表示允许德国、瑞典、芬兰等国以观察员的身份参与对货船的检查行动,但明确表示调查主导权归中方。

此次事件进一步加剧了波罗的海的紧张局势。自2022年俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来,波罗的海地区已成为地缘政治争端的焦点。此前发生的北溪管道爆炸事件、以及芬兰与爱沙尼亚之间天然气管道因中国货船船锚受损的事件,均使该地区安全形势恶化。

多方指责与调查进展

路透社曾引述多名西方情报官员说法报道称,他们相信是中国船只切断2条海底电缆。但对于究竟是意外还是中方故意为之则有不同看法。

瑞典首相克里斯特松(Ulf Kristersson)曾多次声明称,该国已在11月底请求中国配合调查,但强调没有针对北京提出任何形式的“指控”。

德国国防部长皮斯托里乌斯(Boris Pistorius)曾表示,被切断的电缆可能是“破坏活动”的结果。“没有人相信这些电缆是偶然被切断。”瑞典警方也在调查“破坏活动”的嫌疑。

对于这是与乌克兰战争有关的破坏事件的指责,俄罗斯驳斥称 “荒唐、可笑”。多名欧洲政界人士指责这是莫斯科的“混合战争”。

据路透社援引情报人士的分析,一些西方专家认为中国货船可能是受俄罗斯指使,故意对电缆实施破坏。丹麦安全专家卡斯博(Jacob Kaarsbo)则认为,此次事件可能是中国船只与俄罗斯合作的产物,但他强调,没有迹象显示中国是幕后主谋。

卡斯博事后向瑞典TT通讯社表示,所有迹象显示,这艘中国船只应为电缆损害负责。他说,这艘船只从一个俄罗斯港口出发,在发生损害的两处地点放慢了航行速度。同时他不认为中国是破坏行动的幕后方,而很可能是俄罗斯租用了这艘船。

国际合作与后续调查

目前,“伊鹏3号”已离开卡特加特海峡。中国政府表示,此举是为了保障船员的身心健康,同时承诺与相关国家保持沟通与合作。瑞典警方和国际观察员将继续监控这艘货船的动向。

近年来,波罗的海地区的海底设施屡遭破坏。2016年启用的C-Lion 1电缆是连接中欧与北欧的重要数据通道,破坏事件已对该地区的通信和贸易产生了重大影响。欧洲各国已就此类事件展开联合安全评估。

Luigi Mangione pleads not guilty to New York murder charges

BBC 'Breaking' graphicBBC

The suspect accused of killing UnitedHealthCare CEO Brian Thompson has pleaded not guilty to New York state murder and terrorism charges.

Luigi Mangione, 26, appeared in court on Monday to be arraigned on 11 state criminal counts, including murder a crime of terrorism.

He also faces with federal stalking and murder charges that could lead to a death penalty sentence.

Prosecutors allege that Mangione shot Thompson in central Manhattan before going on the run. Authorities later arrested him at a McDonald's in Pennsylvania.

Kremlin denies reports Assad's wife has filed for divorce

The British-born wife of deposed Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is not seeking a divorce, a Kremlin spokesman has said.

Reports in Turkish media had suggested Asma al-Assad wanted to end her marriage and leave Russia, where she and her husband were granted asylum after a rebel coalition overthrew the former president's regime and took control of Damascus.

Asked about the reports in a news conference call, Dmitry Peskov said, "No, they do not correspond to reality."

He also denied reports that Assad had been confined to Moscow and that his property assets had been frozen.

Russia was a staunch ally of the Assad regime and offered it military support during the civil war.

But reports in Turkish media on Sunday suggested the Assads were living under severe restrictions in the Russian capital, and that the former Syrian first lady had filed for divorce and wanted to return to London.

Mrs Assad is a dual Syrian-British national, but the UK foreign secretary has previously said she would not be allowed to return to Britain.

Speaking in parliament earlier this month, David Lammy said: "I want it confirmed that she's a sanctioned individual and is not welcome here in the UK."

He added he would do "everything I can in my power" to ensure no member of the Assad family "finds a place in the UK".

In a statement attributed to Bashar al-Assad last week, he said he had never intended to flee Syria, but he was airlifted from a Russian military base at Moscow's request.

Asma al-Assad, 49, was born in the UK to Syrian parents in 1975 and grew up in Acton, west London.

She moved to Syria in 2000 at the age of 25 and married her husband just months after he succeeded his father as president.

Throughout her 24 years as Syria's first lady, Mrs Assad was a subject of curiosity in western media.

A controversial 2011 Vogue profile called her "a rose in the desert" and described her as "the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies". The article has since been removed from the Vogue website.

Just one month later, Mrs Assad was criticised for remaining silent while her husband violently repressed pro-democracy campaigners at the start of the Syrian civil war.

The conflict went on to claim the lives of around half a million people, with her husband accused of using chemical weapons against civilians.

In 2016, Mrs Assad told Russian state-backed television she had rejected a deal to offer her safe passage out of the war-torn nation in order to stand by her husband.

She announced she was being treated for breast cancer in 2018 and said she had made a full recovery one year later.

She was diagnosed with leukaemia and began treatment for the disease in May this year, the office of then-President Assad announced.

A statement said she would "temporarily withdraw" from public engagements.

Morrisons apologises as deliveries and discounts hit

Morrisons customers have been unable to get discounts on their shopping ahead of Christmas after a problem with the More loyalty card.

The supermarket has been advertising heavy discounts on Christmas dinner food, including vegetables, in the last week.

But social media users say their discounts are not working at the till, with one person posting a photo of an error message at the self-checkout, which reads: "We are really sorry some promotions and discounts are not working at this time."

The Morrisons website also appears to be down, with a "502 bad gateway" error message on some pages.

Morrisons has been contacted for comment.

Biden drops death sentences for 37 prisoners

US President Joe Biden has commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates, switching their penalty to life in prison without parole.

Among those are nine people convicted of murdering fellow prisoners, four for murders committed during bank robberies and one who killed a prison guard.

In a statement, Biden said he condemned the murderers and their crimes, but added he was "more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level".

Biden's decision comes before the return of President-elect Donald Trump in January, who previously resumed federal executions in July 2020 for the first time since 2003.

"Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss," Biden added.

Disgraced former New Orleans police officer Len Davis, who operated a drug ring involving other officers and arranged a woman's murder, is among those who have been shown clemency.

The three remaining on death row include Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, who helped carry out the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, and avowed white supremacist Dylann Roof who shot and killed nine Black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina in 2015.

Robert Bowers, who killed 11 Jewish worshippers during a mass shooting in 2018 at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, will also remain on death row.

Biden has campaigned as an opponent of the death penalty, and the Justice Department issued a moratorium on its use at federal level after he became president.

During his first term in office, Trump oversaw 13 deaths by lethal injection during his final six months in power.

There had been no federal inmates put to death in the US since 2003 until Trump resumed federal executions in July 2020.

During his re-election campaign, Trump indicated he would expand the use of capital punishment to include human and drug traffickers, as well as migrants who kill American citizens.

Biden appeared to make reference to Trump's intentions in his statement by saying he could not "in good conscience - stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted".

In US law, these clemency decisions cannot be reversed by a president's successor.

Biden's decision will not impact people sentenced to death in state courts, which is around around 2,250 inmates according to the Death Penalty Information Centre. More than 70 state executions have been carried out during Biden's presidency.

The death penalty has been abolished in 23 of the 50 US states. Six other states, including Arizona, California, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee, have moratoriums in place.

Earlier this month, Biden commuted the sentences of nearly 1,500 people and pardoned 39 more convicted of nonviolent crimes.

He also pardoned his son, Hunter Biden, who was facing sentencing for two criminal cases. He had pleaded guilty to tax charges earlier in September, and was found guilty of being an illegal drug user in possession of a gun in June - becoming the first child of a sitting president to be a convicted of a crime.

The US Constitution decrees that a president has the broad "power to grant reprieves and pardons for offences against the United States, except in cases of impeachment".

Man arrested over death of woman set on fire on New York subway

Police were called to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station in Brooklyn after a woman on a subway car was set on fire

A suspect has been arrested in New York over the death of a woman who was set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident on Sunday as "one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being".

She said the woman was sleeping on a stationary F train to Brooklyn when she was approached by the suspect who used a lighter to ignite her clothing.

The victim died at the scene, she said, adding that the suspect had been taken into custody after he was detained on another subway train.

Police said the woman, who has not been named, was sleeping in a subway carriage at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn at about 07:30 local time (12:30 GMT) when a man approached her.

There was no interaction before the attack, police said, adding that they did not believe the two people knew each other.

The man got off the train as police officers on patrol in the station rushed to the fire.

"What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames," Ms Tisch said.

Police are still working to identify the victim and the motive for the attack.

Ex-Israeli agents reveal how pager attacks were carried out in Lebanon

Thousands of people were killed and wounded in the surprise attacks

Two former Israeli intelligence agents have revealed how members of the Lebanese Shia militant group Hezbollah used Israeli made walkie-talkies booby-trapped with explosives for 10 years before they were detonated in a surprise attack in September this year.

The two ex-Mossad agents told US CBS News how the service duped Hezbollah into buying thousands of rigged walkie-talkies and pagers without realising they were made in Israel.

Dozens of people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks. Israel said it was tailored to target only Hezbollah members, but civilians were among victims, Lebanese officials said.

The UN human rights chief called the attack a war crime.

At the time of the attack, Israel and Hezbollah were fighting a conflict which had spiralled since Hezbollah fired at Israeli positions a day after Hamas's unprecedented attack on southern Israel 7 October 2023.

On 17 September 2024, thousands of pagers simultaneously exploded across Lebanon, mainly in areas with a strong Hezbollah presence. The blasts wounded or killed users and some people nearby, spreading panic and confusion. The following day walkie-talkies exploded in the same way, killing and injuring hundreds more.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted that Israel was responsible two months later, Israeli media reported at the time.

In an interview with the BBC's US broadcast partner, the two former agents divulged details of the operation.

One of the agents, given the name Michael, said Mossad had concealed an explosive device inside the batteries operating the walkie-talkies, which he said would typically be carried in a vest nearer the wearer's heart.

He said Hezbollah had unwittingly bought over 16,000 the walkie talkies at "a good price" from a fake company 10 years ago.

"We have an incredible array of possibilities of creating foreign companies that have no way being traced back to Israel," Michael said. "Shell companies over shell companies to affect the supply chain to our favour.

"We create a pretend world. We are a global production company. We write the screenplay, we're the directors, we're the producers, we're the main actors, and the world is our stage."

The operation expanded two years ago to include pagers, CBS said.

Mossad found that at that time Hezbollah was buying pagers from a Taiwanese company called Gold Apollo, it said. It set up a fake company which used the Gold Apollo name on pagers rigged with explosives, without the parent company realising.

CBS said Mossad put explosives inside powerful enough to hurt only the user.

"We test everything triple, double, multiple times in order to make sure there is minimum damage," said the second agent, whom the programme called Gabriel.

It said Mossad specifically chose a ringtone which would sound urgent enough for someone to check in incoming message.

Gabriel said the agency duped Hezbollah into buying the pagers, making advertising films and brochures, and sharing them on the internet.

"When they are buying from us, they have zero clue that they are buying from the Mossad," he said. "We make like [movie] Truman Show, everything is controlled by us behind the scene."

Hezbollah had bought 5,000 of the booby trapped pagers by September 2024, CBS said.

They were triggered from Israel when Mossad feared Hezbollah began to have suspicions, it said.

The explosions caused shockwaves across Lebanon, with detonations happening everywhere the pagers were being carried, including in supermarkets. Hospitals were overwhelmed with casualties, many of whom had been maimed.

Gabriel said there was a "strong rumour" that people also fell victim in front of the Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.

Days later, with Hezbollah still reeling from the attack, Israel began intense waves of air strikes against Hezbollah targets, followed by a ground invasion of Lebanon.

The two sides agreed to a ceasefire on 26 November.

Lebanon strongly condemned the pager and walkie talkie attacks, while the UN's human rights chief, Volker Turk, said they had left him "appalled".

The method of attacks, he said, "violates international human rights law and, as applicable, international humanitarian law".

Meanwhile on ITV, those who enjoyed Home Alone on Christmas Eve can watch the sequel on Christmas Day, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (15:10).

After that, look out for specials of Emmerdale (18:30), Coronation Street (19:00) and The Chase (20:00), before 2022 film Downton Abbey: A New Era (21:00).

But the highlight of their schedule this year is arguably the return of Bullseye (17:25), a reboot of the 1980s and 1990s gameshow hosted by Freddie Flintoff, alongside 17-year-old darts prodigy Luke Littler.

Channel 4 are keeping their film offering traditional with Miracle on 34th Street (17:00), before Claudia Winkleman, Mika and Lang Lang return for a special edition of The Piano at Christmas, filmed at Battersea Power Station (19:05).

Other movie highlights include Gladiator (21:00, BBC Two), Grease (15:00, ITV), The Queen (20:00, ITV3) and Crocodile Dundee (16:40, Channel 4).

Films aside, look out for the second festive episode of Call The Midwife (19:30), along with Blankety Blank (21:00) and the Brockman family reunited for one of the highlights of the schedule, Outnumbered (21:40).

Elsewhere, ITV will air Pictionary (17:40) hosted by Mel Giedroyc, as many families recoil from any fall-outs of their own games at home.

The network also has a special edition of The Masked Singer (19:30) and The 1% Club (21:00), while Channel 4 will broadcast The Festive Pottery Throwdown, hosted by Siobhan McSweeney.

But arguably the biggest release is the second season of Squid Game (Netflix), the sequel to streamer's most watched series of all time.

Many felt the original story was self-contained and that it wasn't crying out for a second season, it it will be interesting to see where Netflix takes it and whether it can have the same impact.

On Friday evening, a man ploughed a car into a crowd of shoppers at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg.

The attack has left five people dead and more than 200 injured, with many in a critical condition.

One man has been arrested over the attack, and police believe he was solely responsible.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz travelled to Magdeburg on Saturday, and a city councillor declared Christmas over for the city.

How did the attack unfold?

Unverified footage on social media showed a black BMW travelling at high speeds through the pedestrian walkway between Christmas stalls.

Eyewitnesses described jumping out of the car's path, fleeing or hiding. One told the Reuters news agency that police were already at the venue and chased after the car before arresting the suspect.

Footage from verified sources showed armed police confronting and arresting a man who can be seen lying on the ground next to a stationary vehicle - a black BMW with significant damage to its front bumper.

BBC correspondent Damien McGuinness in Magdeburg reported that the market is "surrounded by concrete blocks". However, "there is a gap which is wide enough for pedestrians to go through, but tragically wide enough for a car to go into the Christmas market", he said.

City officials said around 100 police, medics and firefighters, as well as 50 rescue service personnel rushed to the scene in the aftermath of the attack.

Images from the scene on Friday night showed an area outside the market awash with blue lights as dozens of first responders attended to the injured.

Who are the victims?

Five people have died in the attack, one of whom is a child.

More than 200 people have been injured and at least 41 are in a critical condition.

The toll had earlier been reported as two dead and 68 injured, but was revised to the much higher totals on Saturday morning.

None of the victims have been identified yet.

Who is the suspect?

German media has identified the suspect as Taleb A, a psychiatrist who lives in Bernburg, around 40km (25 miles) south of Magdeburg.

The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but authorities have reported that they believe he carried out the attack alone.

Originally from Saudi Arabia, he arrived in Germany in 2006 and in 2016 was recognised as a refugee.

He ran a website that aimed to help other former Muslims flee persecution in their Gulf homelands.

Evidenced by social media posts, the suspect is an outspoken critic of Islam, and has promoted conspiracy theories regarding a plot to seek Islamic supremacy in Europe.

A report from Der Spiegel said a complaint was filed against Taleb A with the authorities a year ago over statements he made. Officials did not see any concrete threat, the report says.

What have officials said about the attack?

"The reports from Magdeburg raise the worst fears," the German chancellor, Olaf Scholz, said on social media platform X.

Magdeburg's city councillor for public order, Ronni Krug, said the Christmas market will stay closed and that "Christmas in Magdeburg is over", according to German public broadcaster MDR.

That sentiment was echoed on the market's website, which in the wake of the attack featured only a black screen with words of mourning, announcing that the market was over.

The Saudi government expressed "solidarity with the German people and the families of the victims", in a statement on X, and "affirmed its rejection of violence".

UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he was "horrified by the atrocious attack in Magdeburg", adding that his thoughts were with "the victims, their families and all those affected" in a post on X on Friday night.

Cheeeeese... meet the man behind Wallace's new voice

Wallace & Gromit in Vengeance Most Fowl

If you asked TV viewers to name a favourite double act, chances are the two stars of Vengeance Most Fowl would be close to the top of the list.

It's Wallace & Gromit's first major appearance in over a decade, and the first film not to feature the voice of Peter Sallis as the cheese-loving inventor.

"It has been quite emotional [doing this production] since we lost Peter, he was such an original, unique voice," says Nick Park of Sallis, who died in 2017 at the age of 96.

"So it's very hard for anyone to step into his shoes. But we have been blessed with a youngish actor whom we've known for many years who can do a fantastic Wallace impersonation.

"He's stepped in very kindly, and is just great. It's hard to tell them apart."

Take a bow, Ben Whitehead - the 47-year-old actor and voice artist says he feels honoured to be taking on the role. But also admits to feeling a degree of pressure.

"Enormous pressure!" he tells the BBC.

"Because it's a very popular character. I got to work with Peter [Sallis] a couple of times for [2005's] The Curse of the Were-Rabbit film.

"So yeah, there's a great deal of pressure with that. And I feel very grateful to Aardman for giving me so much time to build the character.

"You kind of have to do the 'hmm' and the 'hee-hee'," he continues - demonstrating some Wallace-isms that sound indistinguishable from Peter Sallies's Yorkshire tones.

"Definitely the elongation of the vowels like 'cheeeeese'!"

Why return now?

Fans have been clamouring for more from the plasticine pair for years. So why now?

"Whenever we've done talks around the world, the last question is always, 'When is the next Wallace & Gromit film?', explains Park. "The last time we did that I just came home burning with this idea that's been around for years."

The idea was - what if Wallace created a pre-programmed, voice-controlled smart Gnome.

Enter Norbot, but of course regular viewers of Wallace & Gromit will be unsurprised to learn that the inventor's well-intentioned idea, as usual, ends up causing mayhem.

This isn't the only familiar element to appear in this latest story.

This new adventure also features an old villain, the criminal mastermind Feathers McGraw, a chicken-impersonating-penguin whom Wallace & Gromit - mostly Gromit - defeated in 1993's The Wrong Trousers.

"Whenever we're out and about talking about the future of Wallace & Gromit, the single most asked question is 'when will Feathers be back?", says Merlin Crossingham, who directs Vengeance Most Fowl alongside Nick Park.

"Everybody loves a villain, it's often said your film is only as good as its villain, [so it] seemed a perfect opportunity to bring Feathers back for this story."

Wallace & Gromit were first introduced to audiences with 1989's A Grand Day Out. Since then their adventures have involved everything from malfunctioning clothing to mysterious were-rabbits.

"I think Wallace & Gromit have so many facets to their relationship," says Crossingham.

"They are best pals. They're kind of partners in crime, they're man and dog. And hopefully in the films, their stories, and their relationship everybody young and old relates to them.

"I truly think it's that relatability, not just of their simplicity of lifestyle from which madness erupts.

"But everybody somewhere in the stories connects with them on some level.

"And I think that what Nick has created, right back at the beginning with A Grand Day Out, has really struck a chord with people."

'Christmas day ratings battle'

The last time a new Wallace & Gromit adventure went out on Christmas Day was in 2008 with A Matter of Loaf and Death. It was day's most-watched show, with more than 16 million viewers tuning in.

It was also the most-watched show of the entire year.

While it's still possible that it could repeat that feat, it's up against some extremely tough competition.

"Bring it on, Gavin & Stacey!" jokes Crossingham, acknowledging the huge popularity of the Essex and Barry-based comedy, whose finale also goes out on Christmas Day.

However while Gavin & Stacey might be reaching its conclusion, this definitely isn't a finale for Wallace & Gromit.

"[It's] certainly not the end," says Nick Park. "I think there's plenty of bounce still in their bungee.

"We'll carry on. There's always ideas worth kicking about."

"Give us a minute though," Interjects Merlin. "They take a while to make!"

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl is on BBC One at 18.10 on Christmas Day.

Hollywood stars support Blake Lively over legal complaint

Hollywood stars America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel have publicly backed US actress Blake Lively after she filed a legal complaint against It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni.

Ms Lively filed the legal complaint over the weekend against Mr Baldoni, alleging sexual harassment and a campaign to "destroy" her reputation.

Mr Baldoni's legal team told the BBC on Saturday that the allegations are "categorically false".

Ferrera, Tamblyn and Biedel, who starred with Lively in 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, issued a joint statement on Instagram on Sunday saying they "stand with her in solidarity".

Coleen Hoover, the author of It Ends With Us, also showed her support, describing Ms Lively as "honest, kind, supportive and patient".

Lawyers for Ms Lively say the legal complaint follows a meeting earlier this year to address "repeated sexual harassment and other disturbing behaviour" by Baldoni, her co-star and a producer on the movie.

In their statement, Ferrera, Tamblyn and Biedel said: "As Blake's friends and sisters for over 20 years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation.

"Throughout the filming of It Ends with Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice."

They added: "Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors' stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.

"We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment," the statement added.

"We are inspired by our sister's courage to stand up for herself and others."

Lawyers for Mr Baldoni said they hired a crisis manager because Ms Lively had threatened to derail the film unless her demands were met.

In the drama It Ends With Us, Ms Lively plays a woman who finds herself in a relationship with a charming but abusive boyfriend, played by Mr Baldoni.

In a post to her Instagram stories, Colleen Hoover, the author of the novel on which the film was based, also voiced her support: "@BlakeLively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met.

"Thank you for being exactly the human that you are.

"Never change. Never wilt."

She then linked to a New York Times article titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside A Hollywood Smear Machine.

Hoover also re-posted the statement from Ferrara, Biedel and Tamblyn, adding: "This statement from these women and Blake's ability to refuse to sit down and 'be buried' has been nothing short of inspiring."

The meeting between Ms Lively and Mr Baldoni, together with others involved in the movie's production plus Ms Lively's actor husband Ryan Reynolds, took place on 4 January 2024, and it aimed to address "the hostile work environment" on set, according to Ms Lively's legal filing.

Mr Baldoni attended the meeting in his capacity as co-chairman and co-founder of the company that produced the film, Wayfarer Studios. He was also the film's director.

In the legal complaint, Ms Lively's lawyers allege that both Mr Baldoni and the Wayfarer chief executive officer, Jamey Heath, engaged in "inappropriate and unwelcome behaviour towards Ms Lively and others on the set of It Ends With Us".

In the filing to the California Civil Rights Department, a list of 30 demands relating to the pair's alleged misconduct was made at the meeting to ensure they could continue to produce the film.

Among them, Ms Lively requested that there be no more mention of Mr Baldoni and Mr Heath's previous "pornography addiction" to Ms Lively or to other crew members, no more descriptions of their own genitalia to Ms Lively, and "no more adding of sex scenes, oral sex, or on camera climaxing by BL [Blake Lively] outside the scope of the script BL approved when signing onto the project", says the complaint.

Ms Lively also demanded that Mr Baldoni stop saying he could speak to her dead father.

Ms Lively's legal team further accuse Mr Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios of leading a "multi-tiered plan" to wreck her reputation.

She alleges this was "the intended result of a carefully crafted, coordinated, and resourced retaliatory scheme to silence her, and others from speaking out about the hostile environment that Mr Baldoni and Mr Heath created".

Responding to the legal complaint, Mr Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said on Saturday: "It is shameful that Ms Lively and her representatives would make such serious and categorically false accusations against Mr Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its representatives."

Mr Freedman accused Ms Lively of making numerous demands and threats, including "threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film", which would end up "ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met".

He alleged that Ms Lively's claims were "intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media".

In a statement via her attorneys to the BBC, Ms Lively said: "I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted."

She also denied that she or any of her representatives had planted or spread negative information about Mr Baldoni or Wayfarer.

The film was a box-office hit, although some critics said it romanticised domestic violence.

Kremlin denies reports Assad's wife has filed for divorce

The British-born wife of deposed Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is not seeking a divorce, a Kremlin spokesman has said.

Reports in Turkish media had suggested Asma al-Assad wanted to end her marriage and leave Russia, where she and her husband were granted asylum after a rebel coalition overthrew the former president's regime and took control of Damascus.

Asked about the reports in a news conference call, Dmitry Peskov said, "No, they do not correspond to reality."

He also denied reports that Assad had been confined to Moscow and that his property assets had been frozen.

Russia was a staunch ally of the Assad regime and offered it military support during the civil war.

But reports in Turkish media on Sunday suggested the Assads were living under severe restrictions in the Russian capital, and that the former Syrian first lady had filed for divorce and wanted to return to London.

Mrs Assad is a dual Syrian-British national, but the UK foreign secretary has previously said she would not be allowed to return to Britain.

Speaking in parliament earlier this month, David Lammy said: "I want it confirmed that she's a sanctioned individual and is not welcome here in the UK."

He added he would do "everything I can in my power" to ensure no member of the Assad family "finds a place in the UK".

In a statement attributed to Bashar al-Assad last week, he said he had never intended to flee Syria, but he was airlifted from a Russian military base at Moscow's request.

Asma al-Assad, 49, was born in the UK to Syrian parents in 1975 and grew up in Acton, west London.

She moved to Syria in 2000 at the age of 25 and married her husband just months after he succeeded his father as president.

Throughout her 24 years as Syria's first lady, Mrs Assad was a subject of curiosity in western media.

A controversial 2011 Vogue profile called her "a rose in the desert" and described her as "the freshest and most magnetic of first ladies". The article has since been removed from the Vogue website.

Just one month later, Mrs Assad was criticised for remaining silent while her husband violently repressed pro-democracy campaigners at the start of the Syrian civil war.

The conflict went on to claim the lives of around half a million people, with her husband accused of using chemical weapons against civilians.

In 2016, Mrs Assad told Russian state-backed television she had rejected a deal to offer her safe passage out of the war-torn nation in order to stand by her husband.

She announced she was being treated for breast cancer in 2018 and said she had made a full recovery one year later.

She was diagnosed with leukaemia and began treatment for the disease in May this year, the office of then-President Assad announced.

A statement said she would "temporarily withdraw" from public engagements.

Man arrested over death of woman set on fire on New York subway

Police were called to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station in Brooklyn after a woman on a subway car was set on fire

A suspect has been arrested in New York over the death of a woman who was set on fire on a subway train in Brooklyn.

Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch described the incident on Sunday as "one of the most depraved crimes one person could possibly commit against another human being".

She said the woman was sleeping on a stationary F train to Brooklyn when she was approached by the suspect who used a lighter to ignite her clothing.

The victim died at the scene, she said, adding that the suspect had been taken into custody after he was detained on another subway train.

Police said the woman, who has not been named, was sleeping in a subway carriage at the Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue station in Brooklyn at about 07:30 local time (12:30 GMT) when a man approached her.

There was no interaction before the attack, police said, adding that they did not believe the two people knew each other.

The man got off the train as police officers on patrol in the station rushed to the fire.

"What they saw was a person standing inside the train car fully engulfed in flames," Ms Tisch said.

Police are still working to identify the victim and the motive for the attack.

台湾学者揭露中国对台校园骇客攻击 仅为资讯战冰山一角

民进党中国事务部21日举办中国对台认知座谈会,学者揭露台湾校园成为中国骇客攻击目标或跳板,示警这仅是中国对台湾和世界资讯战的冰山一角。

在民进党中国部举办的“被染红的讯息:中国对台认知作战座谈会”中,国立政治大学国家发展研究所所长黄兆年分享学术网路遭攻击的案例。

他提到在学校的电子信箱登录纪录,发现不明的IP的登录,并没有成功。但是,政治大学有多位研究中国议题的相关学者,也有政策谘询的角色以及产学合作等。以往曾有资深的教师电子信箱被学校电算中心通知遭骇客入侵,或是有相关的邮件被打包下载迹象。他个人在研究室里硬碟刚建制时,也曾告知遭受外部不明来源攻击,被当成攻击校内其他教师电脑的跳板。

“我个人不是特例,政大也不是特例。也因为台湾学术网路相对的自由开放,隐含着一些产学合作的资讯,因此就会成为外部势力骇客攻击的目标或跳板,”他说。

中国塑造不利对手认知 建构中国模式认知

黄兆年勾勒出一个整体的图像,中国数位威权向外扩张是冰山一角,本质上是中国作为“威权强国”,在区域与全球范围对民主阵营展开地缘政治争霸。作为威权国家,过去中国借由数位威权,透过监控在内部取得情报,带风向操纵舆论,目的是控制社会、维系政权,维稳成为重要工具。如今中国也运用类似的手段,试图在两岸与国际竞争中取得资讯与掌握情报,一方面是要避免中国内部资料外流,其次,又积极透过公开网站或骇客攫取外国竞争对手的情报。取得在安全、经济或宣传领域的竞争优势。

他进一步分析,中国政府利用不对称资讯交流“输出资讯跟操纵舆论”,包括三种途径,一是透过直接传播假讯息;二是利用资金收买在地协力者,日前有网红纪录片揭露,中国官媒收买网红等;第三则是透过偏差资讯,利用目标社会内部矛盾,激发受众自发传播等的不对称的资讯输出”以取得舆论战场的竞争优势。

“中国政府借由这些手段塑造不利于竞争对手的认知,从而建构有利于中国自身的认知。也就是制造对竞争对手的不同意,从而去偷渡对中国自己的同意。对手的损失就是自己的获得。”黄兆年说,“在威权与民主的竞争脉络中,它要去建构中国模式更优越的认知。在美中竞争架构下,鼓吹所谓的’疑美论’,分化台湾与美国、日本等民主盟友之间的关系。在两岸竞争脉络下,散布所谓的’疑赖(清德)论’,破坏台湾民众对民选政府或台派政府执政的信任。”

中国利用短影音拉拢台青好感

除了骇客攻击外,中国利用社交媒体软实力,影响台湾青年认知。来自东吴大学社会学系大三生陆羽轩分享,同侪女性同学会使用小红书、抖音等影音平台,中国借由美妆、穿搭软实力输出,进而影响对政治较不关注的同学对中国的好感。

她也提到,台湾许多学校利用“学术交流”名义,吸引从未去过中国的台湾大学生进行交流。就像她的学校每年寒暑假会办营队与中国学生交流,间接影响同学对中国的政治与共产主义输出并不排斥的认知。

中国深伪技术进化快 民主国家抵御成本垫高更难辨识

“未来21世纪的战争,重点转向太空、网路空间、以及心理作战三个领域的夺取。重点是能夺取对手的心理空间,压垮对手的抵抗意志。”黑熊学院共同创办人何澄辉在座谈会中作上述提醒。

他指出随着科技发展,社群网站例如抖音、快手的应用普及,中国透过“短、平、快”的信息,无需完整逻辑论述,进行高强度大量刺激性输出,逐步改变或影响目标对象或群体认知。

何澄辉说,现在传播的假讯息或攻击性的言论,它并不需要全面的造假,只要在关键的部分隐去必要的资讯,即可达成效果。 反而造成讯息的抵御或辨识上的困难。另外,深伪技术、AI自动生成式内容的运用,造成辨识、抵御成本增加。

民进党中国事务部主任吴峻鋕呼吁,面对中国对台湾的强烈领土野心,台湾社会要有更多的警觉性。中国的统战管道,也从透过各种“两岸交流”进行政治宣传,演变到运用新闻媒体进行传播,如今则更加大在社群网路与AI等领域的投入。未来执政党会持续关注与揭露这些中国的统战与渗透作为,希望提升台湾社会更多的关注与警觉性、守护台湾的民主自由。

李宜雪的通报出来了。

因鉴定为强迫性障碍、人格障碍,她被“依法”强制送诊。

送到哪没说,大概率是江西省精神病院。两年前,她就因同样的原因,被送进过这个地方。

那是整个事件的起点。

01.猥亵

2022年3月14日,李宜雪因民事纠纷,向江西省南昌市西湖区,丁公路派出所报案。

由于派出所不予立案,且多次讨要说法无果。她就想着“闹一闹”,以便尽快解决此事。

4月14日晚,李宜雪抱着威胁的心态,顺着一家商场的墙外楼梯,来到三楼天台。

img

有人报警后,她被带到了派出所。接待她的,是当班辅警赖某。

次日,赖某以沟通案情为由,通过私人电话联系了她,说可以帮忙,但要见面聊。

当时疫情严重,李宜雪所在小区正处封控,进出麻烦。为了工作方便,她住在附近酒店。

因此,在接到电话后,她提出在酒店大堂约谈。但赖某以酒店离西湖分局太近,容易遇到熟人,说话不方便为由,提议在房间碰面。

出于对其职业的信任,李宜雪同意了。于是,4月15日下午5点多,赖某身着便衣进入了李宜雪的房间。

起初的十几分钟,赖某还在交流案情,但随后话锋一转,说“你要是我女朋友的话,我就能给你把这个事平了,还用得着整天往派出所跑?”

见李宜雪没有接话,赖某起身,从窗边的凳子上冲到床前,将李宜雪扑倒,实施了猥亵。

由于李宜雪反抗,并声称要报警,赖某停止了侵犯。但他抢走了李宜雪的手机,拦在门口不让她离开。

接着,赖某跪在她面前,扇自己巴掌,说他在派出所见到李宜雪时就非常喜欢,还说自己多不容易,有抑郁症,希望可以放过他。

赖某一边诉苦,一边道歉,就这样,两人僵持了一晚,直到早上6点,他才离开。李宜雪因心软,没有选择报警。

当天晚上,赖某发短信道歉。

第二天,赖某又约她见面,地点是酒店大堂一侧的餐厅。依旧是下跪、诉苦、道歉,由于动静太大,惊动了酒店工作人员,赖某自行离开。

这是他们最后一次见面。

02.送诊

自从此事发生后,李宜雪经常失眠。4月21日晚上10点,睡不着的她出门散步,又走到了先前的商场。

本想去三楼天台吹吹风,结果被保安发现,以为她要跳楼,便报了警。

李宜雪与到场的民警僵持了很久,聊到最后,她将赖某猥亵她的事说了出去。

按照李宜雪所言,听到这番话的民警们,第一反应是将执法记录仪关掉,并把保安支走。

接着,她被拽下楼梯,塞进警车,带到了丁公路派出所。

民警没让她下车,也没理会她要跟赖某对峙的请求,只是拿了一沓材料,便驱车前往江西省精神病院。

此刻的时间,是4月22日凌晨1点左右。

到达医院之后,民警告诉李宜雪,只是检查检查,弄完就放她回去。

面诊时,医生问了她两个问题:心情是不是不好?是不是经常为一些事纠结?

李宜雪给了肯定回答。

在她回答问题时,民警出具了一张肇事肇祸证明,内容大意是,情绪不稳、有自杀倾向、行为异常。

随后,她被带走,只剩下民警和医生单独交流。等她再次回来时,住院手续已经办好,并由民警签字确认。

最终,在没有征得家属同意、没有获得法院许可、没有经过详细鉴定,仅仅是面诊的情况下,李宜雪被强制入院治疗。

03.起诉

当晚,因为哭闹,李宜雪被束缚带绑在床上,直至天亮。

她的主治医生告诉她,现在已进入为期两个月的强制医疗阶段,家人也接不走,探望都不行。

之后的日子,就是每天早中晚,服用奥氮平、曲舍林等精神病类药物。

不吃就会被绑在床上,强行灌药。再不配合就打安定,绑个好几天。

5月下旬,李宜雪多次晕倒在病房,巨大的折磨让她产生了轻生的念头。

因此,主治医生想对她采取电击疗法。但电击需要全身麻醉,家属签字才能使用,被她父亲拒绝了。

6月17日,李宜雪出院。

依旧没有任何诊断证明,只有一张出院记录,还是拍的照片。记录显示,李宜雪患有强迫性障碍、人格障碍、甲状腺结节。

出院后,李宜雪开始了维权之路。

她先是联系酒店,想调取监控录像,但被告知录像已被覆盖,无法查看,且当时值班的工作人员也早已离职。

于是,她选择举报丁公路派出所,可打遍了电话,皆石沉大海,没有任何回音。

她认为,丁公路派出所一直坚称她是精神病,所以她只能先告赢江西省精神病院,证明自己不是精神病,才能接下来告派出所。

李宜雪精神鉴定结果丨图片源自南方都市报

她去一家省级三甲医院,做了精神鉴定,在得到无异常的结果后,7月20日,她将江西省精神病院告上了法庭。

04.罗生门

由于开庭时间遥遥无期,自8月起,她便将自己的遭遇,公布在社交媒体,很快引发了舆论关注。

8月10日,南昌市公安局西湖分局督察大队,主动找到李宜雪了解情况。随后,赖某因此事被停职调查,于9月主动离职。

四个月后,12月6日,该案件在南昌市青山湖区人民法院开庭,历经两个小时的庭审后,法庭宣布择期宣判。

李宜雪认为,对自己的精神病认定存在问题,医院收治程序也违反了《精神卫生法》中,自愿住院和经家属同意原则。

而医院则称,他们是按照“肇事肇祸”程序收治入院,警方送来的手续材料齐全,属于依法依规收治。

另外,对于“猥亵”,赖某并不承认,他说李宜雪在房间内精神状态有异样,行为让他感到害怕。

随着该案被媒体广泛报道,12月21日,南昌市公安局西湖分局,就此事发布了通报。

首先,认定赖某不存在猥亵行为,不予立案。只是对其私自回见纠纷当事人的行为,给予了批评和停职。

其次,李宜雪曾先后4次在公共场所扬言自杀,并称自己患有抑郁症、晚上睡不着觉。

出于对她人身安全的考虑,丁公路派出所依法,将李宜雪送到江西省精神病医院,经医院精神障碍诊断后收治入院。

对于这个通告,李宜雪并不认同,理由跟起诉江西省精神病院时一样。

她表示,在此次民事诉讼宣判后,她将对精神病院、丁公路派出所,提起刑事诉讼,前者是非法拘禁与虐待,后者是非法滥用职权。

05.失联

转眼到了2024年12月,从公众视野中消失已久的李宜雪,突然发了两则视频,称公安局派了十余人闯进她家,还破坏了门外的摄像头。

“救救我,救救我,他们太可怕了。”这是视频中她的求助,之后便没了音讯。

由于互联网上流传着她失联的消息,12月17日,官方发布通报,说李宜雪没有失联,亦没有被传唤,她一直都在家中。

然而,当有人前往她家核实情况时,却发现屋子里空无一人。

5天后,另一份通报出炉,李宜雪再次被诊断为强迫性障碍、人格障碍,由街道社区“依法依规”送诊。

熟悉的一幕再次上演,只是不知这一次,她要在精神病院待多久了。

马与人说|李宜雪再次被送精神病院!

在广大网友的关注下,南昌市公安局西湖分局终于发了通告,这次不再是什么西湖区融媒体中心了。

读完这个通告,不由得让人喟叹:不是这个冬天太冷了,而是这片土地实在太冷了!

这份通报当中最大的一个漏洞是,虽然声称依法依规将李宜雪送诊,却完全不敢提李宜雪父亲同意了没有。

而没有家属的同意,《刑事诉讼法》第三百零三条规定:对精神病人强制医疗的,应当由人民法院决定。

公安机关发现精神病人符合强制医疗条件的,应当写出强制医疗意见书,移送人民检察院。

对于公安机关移送的或者在审查起诉过程中发现的精神病人符合强制医疗条件的,人民检察院应当向人民法院提出强制医疗的申请。

人民法院在审理案件过程中发现被告人符合强制医疗条件的,可以作出强制医疗的决定。对实施暴力行为的精神病人,在人民法院决定强制医疗前,公安机关可以采取临时的保护性约束措施。

没有法院的决定,任何机关都无权将公民关入精神病院。

而且进行强制性治疗还有个大前提:强制医疗的对象只能是有暴力倾向的精神病人。

实施暴力行为,危害公共安全或者严重危害公民人身安全,经法定程序鉴定依法不负刑事责任的精神病人,有继续危害社会可能的,才可以予以强制医疗。

而李宜雪实施过暴力行为吗?

有暴力倾向么?

危害公共安全或严重危害公民人身安全了吗?

是不负刑事责任的精神病人吗?

通报里可是明明说“实施违法行为时辨认、控制能力完整,评定为完全责任能力”!

鉴定书敢公布吗?

现场视频敢公开吗?

多么自相矛盾!

多么为所欲为!!

呜呼哀哉!

一国14亿人,当初救不了小花梅,如今又救不了李宜雪!

耻辱啊!耻辱啊!!

玖奌杂货店|李某雪的这份通报,我看了几遍都没看明白

img

这份通报下面落款是两个部门,写得也很长。我仔细看了几遍,尤其是最后两段,愣是没看懂,看的是一头雾水。

最后两段是这样写的:

12月21日,北京安定医院作出鉴定意见:被鉴定人李某雪诊断为强迫性障碍、人格障碍,实施违法行为时辨认、控制能力完整,评定为完全责任能力。

鉴于李某雪当前病情状况,12月22日街道社区依法依规将其送诊。

我不是医生,应该相信医生的专业判断。但是,“强迫性障碍、人格障碍”这个危害性大吗?到了必须“依法送诊”的地步吗?

为什么不是由李某雪的父亲“送诊”,而是必须由“街道社区依法依规将其送诊”?

如果李某雪有侮辱、诽谤他人的违法行为,而且“实施违法行为时辨认、控制能力完整,评定为完全责任能力”,那是不是应该接受治安处罚?该拘留就拘留,该处罚就处罚,而不是“依法送诊”吧?

一方面说诊断为有病,一方面又说“完全责任能力”,这怎么看都有点别扭。

通报中说的是“依法依规将其送诊”,但没有说送到哪家医院,那这“送诊”是送哪里去了?有没有送到江西省精神病院去呢?

要知道,李某雪正在与江西省精神病院打官司,如果被街道社区“依法依规”送诊到江西省精神病院去了,那就是把原告送到被告手里,想想都替李宜雪捏一把汗。

但愿我是杞人忧天。

不想“断气”: 斯洛伐克总理突访莫斯科


2024-12-23T15:01:39.742Z
12月22日,斯洛伐克总理菲佐同俄罗斯总统普京举行会晤。

(德国之声中文网)本周日,俄罗斯普京总统同斯洛伐克总理菲佐举行会谈之后,莫斯科方面表示,过境乌克兰的天然气供给问题“情况非常复杂”。

此前,乌克兰方面已经明确表示,过境乌克兰向欧洲输送俄罗斯天然气的五年期合同今年年底到期后,将不再续约,因为乌方不愿以此支持俄罗斯的军事行动。

过境乌克兰的天然气输送占俄罗斯对欧洲天然气管道输送量的一半。一旦乌克兰叫停俄罗斯天然气的过境输送,斯洛伐克、意大利、奥地利以及捷克共和国将受到不同程度的冲击。

受克里姆林宫控制的俄罗斯天然气公司(Gazprom)也会通过黑海海底的输气管道“土耳其溪 ”(TurkStream-Pipeline)向欧洲出口天然气。

普京同斯洛伐克总理菲佐周日举行的会谈中,也谈及了双边关系以及俄乌战争。不过,克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫( Dmitri Peskow)表示,他无法就两人的会谈提供更多的信息。

菲佐周日表示,普京再度强调了继续向斯洛伐克提供天然气的意愿。不过,菲佐也承认,一旦乌克兰叫停过境天然气输送,斯洛伐克就基本失去了继续获得俄罗斯天然气的可能性。至于普京同菲佐的会谈中是否也曾谈及某种替代方案,目前尚不得而知。

匈牙利也极力呼吁乌克兰不要叫停天然气过境输送。不过,匈牙利也会从南部管线“土耳其溪 ”解决部分天然气供给。

乌克兰总统泽兰斯基上周表示,乌克兰方面可以考虑续签天然气过境协定,但前提条件是,在俄罗斯停止战争前,各国不得为俄罗斯天然气支付费用。莫斯科方面想必不会接受这一条件。

克里姆林宫发言人佩斯科夫对媒体表示,“你们已经了解乌克兰方面的声明,你们也清楚,欧洲一些国家仍希望获得俄罗斯天然气,并认为这是维持国民经济正常运行的必要前提。因此,现在的情况非常复杂,应当引起各方的注意。”

泽连斯基:菲佐的行为是不道德的。

普京上周就已明确表示,显然不可能和基辅方面就经由乌克兰境内向欧洲输送天然气签署新的协定。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基周一表示,斯洛伐克总理菲佐是想以继续进口俄罗斯天然气的方式,对俄罗斯提供“帮助”。泽兰斯基在X平台发文写道,菲佐周日访问莫斯科,“是想帮助普京继续赚钱,以便普京能继续发动战争,并弱化欧洲。我们认为,以这种方式帮助普京是极不道德的行为。”

美国宣布对中国传统芯片展开贸易调查


2024-12-23T15:12:11.614Z
美国贸易代表凯戴琪(Katherine Tai)表示,该贸易机构已发现证据表明,北京正将半导体行业作为全球主导目标

(德国之声中文网)美国拜登政府周一(12月23日)宣布对中国制造的“传统”芯片展开贸易调查。这些芯片广泛用于汽车、洗衣机和电信设备等日常用品。这项调查可能导致美国对中国芯片征收更多关税

这项行动被称为“301条款”调查。目前距离当选总统特朗普于1月20日再次入住白宫只剩前四周时间。拜登政府官员表示,该调查将于1月移交特朗普政府完成。

该项行动可能为特朗普铺路,方便迅速对中国进口商品实施他曾威胁过的高达60%的关税。

即将离任的总统拜登已经决定,从2025年1月1日开始对中国制造半导体征收50%的关税。他领导的政府还收紧了对中国出口先进人工智能芯片、存储芯片以及芯片制造设备的限制,并将在最近对中国出口的用于太阳能电池板的硅片和多晶硅的关税提高至50%

美国贸易代表办公室将负责进行这项新调查。该办公室表示,此举旨在保护美国及其他市场驱动型芯片生产商免受中国通过大规模国家贴补推动的芯片供应的冲击。

美国贸易代表凯戴琪(Katherine Tai)表示,该贸易机构已发现证据表明,北京正将半导体行业作为全球主导目标,与其在钢铁、铝、太阳能板、电动车和关键矿产领域的行动类似。

“这使得中国企业能够迅速扩展产能,并以人为压低的价格提供芯片,威胁到以市场为导向的竞争者,甚至可能将其逐出市场,”她在一次电话记者会上表示。

相关图集:不能输给中国:美国采取了哪些限制措施?

10年内禁止在华投资半导体:2022年8月9日,美国总统拜登签署《2022年芯片和科技法案》。该法案包括对芯片行业527亿美元的补贴、对半导体和设备制造25%的投资税收抵免等扶持政策。其最受瞩目的条款之一是,禁止获得联邦资金的公司在中国生产先进制程芯片,期限为10年,违反禁令的公司,需要全额退还联邦补助款。换言之,拿了美国政府补贴的资金,10年内不能在中国投资半导体产业。
禁止对华出口尖端芯片:2022年10月7日,美国商务部工业和安全局(Bureau of Industry and Security, “BIS”)公布《出口管制条例》(EAR),一年后再度收紧,尤其针对向中国出口高性能芯片和半导体制造相关事宜。重点管控的目标是被用于数据中心的尖端芯片以及用于训练AI的大模型芯片。美国商务部将逐案调查酌情发放出口许可证。这一背景下,2023年10月美国禁止了英伟达(Nvidia)向中国输出先进芯片。
要求盟国配合限制出口芯片制造设备:2022年10月美国宣布对芯片制造设备的对华出口实施新的限制。此后荷兰的阿斯麦(ASML)和日本的东京电子(Tokyo Electron)跟进宣布配合美国的限制政策。这些国家如果不严格控制对华出口,华府会动用《外国直接产品规则(FDPR)》全面阻止相关产品的销售。此前的2022年8月,所有美国设备制造商都收到了商务部的信函,通知他们不要向中国供应用于14纳米或以下芯片制造的设备。
钢铝关税25%:2024年5月14日,拜登总统宣布,对战略性行业加征关税,这些行业包括钢铁和铝。华府启动《贸易法》第301条款,从2024年开始对钢铁和铝产品的关税从目前的0% - 7.5%提高至25%。
半导体关税50%、电动车100%:白宫划定的战略性行业也包括半导体、电动车以及太阳能产品。半导体产品的关税将于2025年从25%提高至50%。电动汽车的关税将于2024年从25%提高至100%。锂电池以及电池部件的关税从2024年其从7.5%提高至25%。太阳能电池板的关税将在2024年从25%提高到50%。
起重机、医用口罩手套加征至25%关税:此外,港口起重机的关税从今年起从0%提高至25%;注射器和针头的关税将从0%提高至50%。一些医疗用品如呼吸器和口罩,其关税将从0%-7.5%提高至25%。橡胶医用和外科手套的关税将在2026年从7.5%提高至25%。
哪些法案还在路上?:美国国会夏季休假结束后,众议院将率先讨论并通过一系列涉华法案,其中包括降低对中国生物技术的依赖、禁止中国电动汽车和无人机、限制中国公民购买农田以及恢复一个旨在消除剽窃美国知识产权的项目。美国民主共和两党在“不能输给对手中国”的问题上保持高度一致。众议院投票过后,还要按程序再经参议院表决通过。

什么是传统芯片?

“传统芯片”,业内人士称之为成熟制程芯片,它使用较老的成熟制造工艺,广泛应用于各类大众市场产品中。它们不包括用于人工智能应用或先进微处理器的高端芯片。

根据政府公告,拜登政府将在1月6日开始征集有关这项调查的公众意见,并计划于3月11日至12日举行公众听证会。目前尚不清楚特朗普提名的美国贸易代表格里尔(Jamieson Greer)能否在那之前获得美国参议院的确认。 格里尔是一名贸易律师,曾在特朗普第一任期内担任美国贸易代表办公室首席官员。

此次调查依据《1974年贸易法》第301条进行。2018年和2019年,特朗普政府也援引相同条款,对大约3700亿美元的中国进口商品征收最高25%的关税,引发了长达近三年的中美贸易战

如果特朗普接手调查,需在启动后一年内完成。

将下游产品纳入调查

拜登政府的一名官员表示,除了审查进口芯片本身的影响外,该调查还将研究它们在下游组件和关键行业终端产品中的应用,包括国防、汽车产品和医疗设备领域。

此次调查还将关注中国生产的用于半导体制造的碳化硅衬底和芯片。

美国商务部长吉娜·雷蒙多(Gina Raimondo)表示,该部门的研究显示,三分之二的美国产品使用了中国的传统芯片,而半数美国公司(包括一些国防行业公司)并不知道其芯片的来源,这一情况“相当令人担忧”。

在新冠疫情扰乱了半导体供应并短暂中断了汽车和医疗设备生产之后,美国通过提供527亿美元的新增补贴来推动芯片生产、研究和人才培养,试图建立自己的半导体供应链。

雷蒙多表示,中国计划在未来十年内建造全球超过60%的传统芯片产能,这遏制了其他地方的投资,构成了不公平竞争。

“这削弱了我们的企业,使美国依赖中国生产的芯片,而这些芯片每天广泛应用于各种设备中,”她对记者说。

在经历了一场激烈的总统竞选之后,拜登政府和特朗普政府之间不多的连续性领域之一是对中国的关税政策。拜登保留了特朗普对中国进口商品实施的所有关税,并增加了新的关税,包括对中国制造的电动车征收100%的关税,试图阻止其进入美国市场。

评论|魏京生:冬至谈明年中国政治 -- 乱中有戏

古代每年冬至要在都城郊区的商社里测量统一的度量衡,也就是县太爷手里的那个惊堂木。冬至的温度下一升水的重量就是一斤,比欧洲人发明的现代度量衡早了三千多年,比秦始皇早了一千多年。古代政治没那么复杂,这个度量衡就是权威的代表,就是政治的合法性 -- 信用和信任。

现在共产党的政治恰恰就缺乏这个合法性,没有信用,也得不到信任。各项政策都是拉抽屉,说了不算,算了不说。中央骗地方,地方骗人民。小官骗大官,大官骗皇上。媒体和统计更是天下一大骗。这种政治能够维持多久呢?会逐渐走向混乱。现在已经达到了混乱的高峰,就快要造反或者政变了,大家都预测到了。

大家经常谈论的法治是什么呢?就是权威。权威是什么呢?就是信用。政治没有信用,没有法制,那哪来的权威呢?共产党的理论就是暴力压迫最实用,枪杆子里面出政权。可是暴力机构也要有信用有法度才能管理。一个不要信用不讲法制的暴力机构,必然会陷入内乱。你可以杀别人,别人也可以杀你,就是皇帝也不是神仙,没办法阻止暴力机构的反噬。

现在的习近平已经走到了这一步。前一段时间网上盛传军事政变了云云,吓得习近平不敢离开北京,几个月不敢出访。最近一会儿俄罗斯,一会儿南美洲跑得挺欢。似乎想要证明前一段的谣言不攻自破了,其实不然。这说明他和军方高层达成了妥协,稳定了后院,才敢出去访问满足虚荣心,其它都是谣言。

看看有多乱吧。抓走了几任国防部长,横扫了火箭军等等张又侠的势力。据说逼得张又侠倒向了暗中倒习的势力。这倒是海外媒体提醒了小习书记。在这种形势下习近平可不敢冒险出访。有多少独裁者是在出访的时候被推翻的呀,不排除这种可能。

怎么办?该妥协时就妥协,保命比耍横重要。好在张又侠和咱小习书记是发小,比较容易缓和关系。可是你也得付出代价呀。人家张又侠也要报一箭之仇,你得拿下手的酷吏来交换。就像五十年代毛泽东抛弃高岗,向刘少奇、周恩来集团妥协一样。这次苗华就扮演了高岗的角色。

于是就稳定了吗?似乎没有。别人的势力如果扩大了,皇上能放心吗?咱们习总能放心吗?当然不能,于是就有陆军总司令等等司令们也被抓起来了。反反复复没完没了,局势逐渐就走向了失控。历朝历代的失控,都是从统治阶级内部开始的。老百姓造反往往只是个导火索,而且从来不需要精英们爱说的什么大多数。

要说大多数,老百姓的人心所向才是大多数。打倒四人帮的时候,就是依靠人心所向的大多数。自古以来的造反什么时候有过大多数人参与?这是个伪命题,是在帮助习近平吓唬老百姓。大多数老百姓当然是各扫门前雪,莫管他人瓦上霜。但是动乱一起,官方丧失了权威,到那时候就是大多数了。

所以推翻暴君昏君不需要考虑秀才们的胡言乱语。就像现在网民们爱说的那句话一样:干就是了,路见不平一声吼,这是咱们中华文化的传统。瞻前顾后,犹犹豫豫,这是腐儒们的另一个传统。所以古语说:秀才造反,十年不成。何止十年,从来就不成。

没有了昏君和暴君,将来人们才有可能过上好日子。不管谁执政,都比现在这样民不聊生官不聊生的要好,这就不是人过的日子。按照中共内乱的发展趋势来看,明年有戏。
