專訪:台灣距離廢除死刑越來越遠嗎?

英國人權專家雷紹爾稱,他對去年台灣釋憲的結果「感到失望」,今年初的槍決更證明台灣政府在死刑問題上缺乏有原則的領導。

(德國之聲中文網)死刑存廢在台灣一直是高度敏感的爭議議題。支持者普遍主張,死刑體現了應報正義、能有效嚇阻犯罪,並反應民意;反對者則強調,國家不應剝奪生命權、提醒冤案誤判的可能性,並指出嚇阻效果缺乏實證。

2024年台灣憲法法庭針對死刑釋憲,最終宣告「部分合憲」,同時大幅限縮死刑的適用範圍,也為判死設定了多重門檻。當時有聲音認為,這可能意味著台灣會朝「實質廢死」的方向前進。

但在釋憲數個月之後,台灣政府無預警於今年1月槍決最年輕的死囚黃麟凱。這是台灣相隔5年再次執行死刑,也是總統賴清德任內首次槍決,當時遭到歐盟對外事務部的強烈譴責。

英國人權組織「死刑專案」(The Death Penalty Project)的共同執行董事雷紹爾(Saul Lehrfreund)與挪威科技大學精神衛生系及挪威聖奧拉夫斯大學醫院安全、監獄及法醫精神科研究與教育中心資深研究員艾波頓(Catherine Appleton)日前訪台參與「台灣廢除死刑推動聯盟」的學術論壇。他們在台北接受DW採訪,談論台灣廢死的近期發展。

廢死爭議背後的政治?

「如果5年都沒有任何(死刑)執行,幾乎是突然地槍決某人,對我而言這就是政治宣示:我們要讓大眾知道我們支持死刑。」挪威學者艾波頓向DW表示:「或許這次執行,跟想要展現強大國家的政治姿態有關。但強大是指什麼?(死刑)肯定不是民主價值。」

目前全球有超過140個國家在法律上已經廢死、或在實務上超過十年未執行死刑。台灣、美國、日本是少數仍有死刑的民主政體。

陳水扁執政時期,台灣法務部曾經提出「逐步廢除死刑」政策,但在反彈聲浪之下未能推動落實。根據統計,此後歷任總統的死刑執行情況,馬英九任內33件最多,陳水扁任內32件,蔡英文任內只有2件。

黃麟凱遭槍決後,台灣行政院長卓榮泰在立法院接受質詢時曾表示,法務部非常謹慎,「前陣子也因為整個法律完備,有執行了一人,證明台灣並不是一個廢死社會,法律上是在合憲的範圍中,只要完備法律,對於經過法院判決,政府會予以執行。」

艾波頓認為,對於像台灣這樣的民主國家而言,走向廢死是一條必然之路。從憲法原則看,國家不應奪取生命,「若是『以命償命』,那就不是在支持法治,而是在支持私刑式報復。」

艾波頓(Catherine Appleton)是研究「最高刑罰」的專家。今年9月,她初次訪台參與廢死議題的論壇活動。

英國人權專家雷紹爾也提出類似的看法。他向DW表示,該次死刑執行嚴重傷害了台灣的國際聲譽,也指出了一個根本問題——死刑究竟是法律問題,還是政治問題?

「為什麼是那個人?為什麼是那個時間點?背後的理性思考是什麼?這看起來非常隨機與政治化。」

雷紹爾進一步表示,2024年台灣的死刑釋憲案,他曾與國家人權委員會密切合作,向法庭提供詳細的法律論證與專家證據。「第一份專家意見清楚指出,台灣死刑的適用具有任意性、帶有隨機性,與法治原則不符。第二份證據則指出,死刑不具高於其他刑罰的嚇阻效果。這是由哥倫比亞大學世界級學者提交的報告,以台灣的犯罪與殺人統計、判死與執行數據分析,發現犯罪率與刑罰間毫無相關。因此就證據而言,死刑對犯罪的發生沒有產生影響。」

雷紹爾稱,他對去年釋憲的結果「感到失望」,今年初的槍決更證明台灣政府在死刑問題上缺乏有原則的領導。以「8成民眾支持死刑」作為擱置改革的理由,「不可接受」。他強調:「人權是用來保護少數、弱勢與不受歡迎者。若法律只是民意的投射,那就不是法治了。」

誰決定廢不廢死?

台灣多次民調顯示,約有8成民眾反對廢除死刑。每當社會出現重大刑案,或者影視作品觸碰有關議題,也可以普遍看見支持「死刑即正義」的社會言論。

雷紹爾認為,死刑並非單純「支持」或「反對」的黑白之爭,而是更複雜的「灰色」議題:「我們做過很多調查,如果今天我在台灣只問『你支持死刑嗎?』多數人會回答『支持』。但如果我追問『你有多強烈支持死刑?』我們知道(因為我們在台灣做過調查)大概只有30%的人會說『我強烈支持』。......再問第三題:『如果政府政策是廢除死刑,你是否可以接受?』你會發現,那70%~80%『不那麼強烈』支持的人,其實可以接受政府廢死。」

他指出,全球已經廢死或暫停執行死刑的國家中,「沒有任何一個是因為民意支持而廢死,或民眾要求才廢死」。政府必須負起開啟公共對話的責任,但台灣兩大政黨似乎都沒有將對話往前推動。

「我們在台灣做調查時問過:『如果可能槍決到無辜者,你還會支持死刑嗎?』支持度降到只有6%。所以一開始說台灣有8成民意支持死刑,表面、抽象地看,或許是真的;但在現實、具體條件下,並非如此。因此,政府說『不能廢死,因為民眾支持死刑』其實並不正確;這不是好的領導,也不是好的治理。」他說。

被害者家屬的「正義」?

台灣「犯罪被害人保護協會」2024年曾提出資料主張,根據該協會所做的問卷調查,超過96%的被害人家屬反對廢死,呼籲重視被害者家屬的心聲。

該協會的代表律師陳淑貞當時表示,歐盟經過了53年才在2003年廢死,期間經歷社會溝通,並有詳細的配套措施。台灣雖然有廢死聲音,但推動至今,不只反對比例仍高,也沒有配套措施,廢死就像「天邊彩虹」。

雷紹爾認為,被害者家屬的「正義」是重要議題,但創傷療癒並非來自於死刑。他指,許多主張保留死刑的國家,往往會以「我們需要用死刑來安撫被害者家屬」為理由,但他對這樣的論點感到困惑。

「全球85%的國家沒有在執行死刑。台灣或日本的立法者是在暗示,這85%的國家都錯了嗎?難道說那85%的國家並不尊重被害者家屬的觀點?」他強調,死刑沒辦法療癒,反而令共同受害者——也就是受害者家屬——再次受創。

根據「死刑專案」9月發布的最新報告,雷紹爾指出,該研究以美國的共同受害者為訪談對象,發現案發當下他們非常憤怒、情緒激動、渴望報復,多數人支持死刑;但到了進行訪談時,沒有任何一位仍然支持死刑,「一個都沒有,因為死刑只會讓他們感受到更深的傷害。」

他解釋,在保留死刑的國家,似乎官方給的唯一答案就是執行死刑與報復,但這並不是解方。他以台灣為例說明:「目前36名死囚在死牢的平均時間是13年,有人超過20年。這整段期間,因為刑罰並未執行,共同受害者也得不到『解脫』(closure),結果死刑讓他們不斷被重創——他們因為案件一次次回到法院,腦中、思緒、心理一直被這件事佔據:『這就是傷害他們至親的人嗎?』沒有結束,死刑也不允許結束,不允許療癒或以某種方式繼續人生的可能。它只會讓傷口一直存在。」

台灣、美國、日本是少數仍有死刑的民主政體。圖為2017年廢死倡議者在美國最高法院前的抗議。

無期徒刑是替代方案嗎?

艾波頓是專門研究「最高刑罰」的學者,她向DW表示,當台灣談論廢除死刑時,也必須同時談論配套措施。儘管不得假釋的無期徒刑(LWOP)經常被納入討論,但她認為這不啻是「另一種死刑」。

「我做過全球無期徒刑的調查,看看有哪些替代性的最高刑罰。你可能會自然而然地認為無期徒刑——包括不得假釋或可以假釋——就是替代選擇。但有些國家既沒有無期徒刑,也沒有死刑,而是固定期刑。例如葡萄牙,最高刑期是25年,之後就會釋放。他們的社會並沒有崩潰。」

艾波頓舉例2015年的高雄監獄狹持事件,並稱不得假釋的無期徒刑可能使囚犯失去希望,陷入「無所畏懼」的狀態。

2015年,高雄發生台灣獄政史上首次的獄政幹部被挾持事件。6名囚犯狹持典獄長等獄方人員作為人質,最終越獄失敗6人舉槍自盡,人質平安脫險。

艾波頓強調,可假釋的無期徒刑制度,並不代表囚犯一定會被釋放,只是作為憲法保障人性尊嚴的國家,必須能在某個時間點重新審視囚犯是否可以釋放、是否可以重返社會,或者需要繼續關押。

她並以美國和德國為例說明,全球80%、不得假釋無期徒刑的受刑人都在美國,結果美國監獄彷彿高齡療養院,獄政問題嚴重、經濟負擔沉重,許多受刑人寧可被判死刑;在德國,被判處無期徒刑的謀殺犯,在服刑滿15年之後,可以向法庭申請假釋,但可假釋的無期徒刑並沒有削弱德國的民主或讓德國變成一個「弱國」。

「若政治人物只是迎合他們以為的『民意』,那麼『民意』是誰?民眾掌握多少資訊?又是否諮詢過專家呢?」她說。

國際要求台灣廢死的壓力

台灣被譽為亞洲自由民主的燈塔,儘管並非聯合國成員,但仍於2009年馬英九執政時期,於立法院通過聯合國人權《兩公約》,其中的《公民與政治權利國際公約》(ICCPR)即呼籲廢死。

雷紹爾表示,台灣是年輕而蓬勃的民主政體,在許多面向都非常進步——例如同性婚姻、言論自由等,但在死刑議題卻站在對立面。

「(台灣)與中國的對比在很多面向都很鮮明,唯獨死刑這點卻相同。站在外部的角度,台灣若希望與周邊國家有所區別,廢除死刑將是非常有力的宣示:即便是犯過錯的人,我們仍尊重每個人的生命權。這將會向世界清楚表明,台灣在國際秩序中的定位。」

艾波頓也認同這樣的觀點。她稱:「如果台灣正站在十字路口,就需要正視自身作為民主政體的定位,並堅定追求民主道路。想跟中國做出區別?如果是這樣的話,那就應該擁抱民主價值,不能保留死刑制度。」

根據國際特赦組織最新的全球死刑年度報告,中國目前仍然是世界上執行死刑最多的國家

New rule for GPs after 27-year-old's cancer missed

Jessica Brady contacted her GP practice more than 20 times feeling unwell

GPs in England are being urged to "think again" if they see a sick patient three times and can't pin down a diagnosis, or find their symptoms are getting worse.

The new NHS initiative, called Jess's Rule, is named after Jessica Brady who contacted her GP on more than 20 occasions after starting to feel unwell in the summer of 2020.

She was told her symptoms were related to long Covid and that she was "too young for cancer". She died from advanced stage 4 cancer later that year, aged 27.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting said her death was "a preventable and unnecessary tragedy" and the rule would improve patient safety by helping GPs "catch potentially deadly illnesses".

'Her body was failing her'

Jessica Brady was a talented engineer at Airbus, involved in the design of satellites.

Her mum, Andrea, told Radio 4's Today programme that Jess was a very healthy young woman when the pandemic hit in 2020.

But in July of that year, she didn't feel right and contacted her GP practice repeatedly over the next five months about her symptoms.

Over time they became "increasingly debilitating", Andrea says.

"She had unintentionally lost quite a lot of weight, had night sweats, chronic fatigue, a persistent cough and very enlarged lymph nodes.

"But because of her age, it was obviously considered there wasn't anything wrong."

Jess had contact with six different doctors at her GP surgery and three face-to-face consultations with a family doctor, but no referral to a specialist was made.

"Her body was failing her," says Andrea.

"It was hard for Jess to advocate for herself. She was saying 'What's the point? Nothing will happen.'"

When the family decided to arrange a private appointment and she was referred to a specialist, it was too late.

Jess was given a terminal cancer diagnosis in November and died three weeks later - just days before Christmas 2020.

The family hopes Jess's Rule will help to increase awareness of the importance of GPs acting quickly for patients who are steadily deteriorating.

"She wanted to make a difference," Andrea says.

"Jess knew her delayed diagnosis was instrumental in the fact she had no treatment options open to her, only palliative care.

"She felt strongly she didn't want this to happen to other people."

Jess's family say she showed unfailing courage, positivity, dignity, and love

Jess's Rule is not a law, but a strong reminder to GPs to take a "three strikes and rethink approach" after three appointments, to prevent avoidable deaths.

This could mean arranging face-to-face consultations with a patient previously only spoken to on the phone, ordering extra tests or asking for a second opinion from a colleague. GPs should also consider referring patients to a specialist.

The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP), which was involved in drawing up the guidance, said no doctor ever wanted to miss signs of serious illness, such as cancer.

"Many conditions, including many cancers, are challenging to identify in primary care because the symptoms are often similar to other, less serious and more common conditions," said Prof Kamila Hawthorne, chair of RCGP.

"If a patient repeatedly presents with the same or similar symptoms, but the treatment plan does not seem to be making them better - or their condition is deteriorating - it is best practice to review the diagnosis and consider alternative approaches."

Research suggests younger patients and people from ethnic minority backgrounds often face delays before being diagnosed with a serious condition, because their symptoms don't appear similar to white or older patients.

RCGP has worked with Jess Brady's family to develop an educational resource for GPs on the early diagnosis of cancer in young adults.

The Department of Health said many GP practices already used the correct approach, but that Jess' s Rule would make this "standard practice across the country".

Health and Social Care Secretary Wes Streeting thanked Jess's family, saying they had campaigned tirelessly through "unimaginable grief" to ensure Jessica's legacy helps to save the lives of others.

"Patient safety must be the bedrock of the NHS, and Jess's Rule will make sure every patient receives the thorough, compassionate, and safe care that they deserve, while supporting our hard-working GPs to catch potentially deadly illnesses," he said.

Paul Callaghan, from Healthwatch England, which represents people who use health and social care services, said the rule should be implemented "quickly and consistently".

"It's also imperative that specialist teams have the resources to deal with potential increases in demand, resulting from increased referrals," he said.

Hong Kong hunkers down as super typhoon approaches

Hong Kong's airport will ground most flights from Tuesday evening as the strongest storm this year approaches

Hong Kong has shut schools and some businesses, while the airport will ground most flights from Tuesday evening as the city braces for a super typhoon - the strongest storm of the year so far.

Fresh food and bread were wiped off supermarket shelves as residents prepared to hunker down, while shop owners piled sandbags in front of their stores.

Super typhoon Ragasa, which killed at least one as it lashed through a remote island in the Philippines on Monday, is due to hit the Asian financial hub later on Tuesday.

Millions could be impacted by the storm, which is expected to move towards northern Vietnam and China's Guangdong, where authorities have said to prepare for a "catastrophic" situation.

Typhoon Ragasa

Hong Kong International Airport says it expects "significant disruption to flight operations" from 18:00 local time Tuesday until the next day.

More than 500 Cathay Pacific flights are expected to be cancelled, while Hong Kong Airlines said it would stop all departures from the city.

Many cities in Guangdong province have shut schools and some workplaces, as well as suspended public transportation.

The Chinese city of Shenzhen, which neighbours Hong Kong, has seen 400,000 people evacuated.

In the Philippines, where the storm is referred to as super typhoon Nando, at least one person was killed by a landslide in the country's nothern Luzon island and hundreds of families were displaced as a result.

More than 10,000 people were evacuated in the Philippines before the storm made landfall on Monday afternoon. Schools and government offices were shut in large parts of the country, including in the capital Manila.

Super typhoon Ragasa - equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane - packed wind gusts of up to 285km/h (177mph) at its highest point on Monday.

Ragasa will "pose a serious threat" to Hong Kong, says Eric Chan, its Chief Secretary for Administration, comparing it to two other typhoons which left behind trails of severe destruction.

Super typhoon Mangkhut in 2018 - to date the most intense typhoon to strike the city - injured 200 people, sunk ships and wrecked infrastructure, with the weather agency estimating economic losses of HK$4.6bn ($592m).

In 2017, typhoon Hato unleashed serious flooding and smashed and injured more than 100 people in the city.

赖清德:台湾更安全世界民主防线就更稳固

台湾总统赖清德说,台湾更强韧、更安全,世界民主的防线就能更稳固。

综合三立新闻网和联合新闻网报道,纽约非营利组织Concordia年度峰会(2025 Concordia Annual Summit)9月21日至24日举行,赖清德通过录像方式,以“携手共创更安全的世界—台湾在不确定时代的角色”为题发表演说。

赖清德说,台湾身处印太第一岛链前线,直接面对威权威胁,面对不确定的时代,台湾将继续做世界和平的舵手及世界繁荣的推手,以积极策略和坚定信念,与世界携手共进。

他说,台湾推行价值外交,以自由民主、人权、法治等价值为基石,与志同道合的国家紧密合作,共同应对全球挑战。台湾虽然不在联合国体系内,但始终以行动证明,台湾是国际社会可信赖的伙伴,Taiwan Can Help,愿为全球福祉尽心尽力。

中国官媒:福建舰打击范围能覆盖第二岛链

中国官媒央视旗下微信公众号“玉渊潭天”发文说,三型舰载机在福建舰首次完成起降训练的一大看点,是福建舰打击范围能够覆盖第二岛链。 (视频截取)

中国官媒央视旗下微信公众号“玉渊潭天”星期二(9月23日)发文说,三型舰载机在福建舰首次完成起降训练有三大看点,其中一项是福建舰打击范围能够覆盖第二岛链。

“玉渊潭天”在文中说,这次训练的三大看点分别是:福建舰打击范围能够覆盖第二岛链;弹射型航母搭载的舰载机机型变多,提升体系化作战能力;多一艘航母带来的对地区局势影响力的提升。

文章介绍,航母的打击范围,和舰载机的作战半径直接相关。辽宁舰和山东舰的滑跃甲板都是向上翘起的。这是因为上翘的甲板可以增大飞机的起飞仰角,加上飞机本身的推力,舰载机就可以起飞了。

但这种方式对舰载机限制比较多,如果舰载机自身过重,还是很难飞起来。

而电磁弹射就不需要考虑这些。电磁弹射系统可以提供弹射推力,让舰载机实现 “满油满弹” 起飞。

“满油”则意味着作战半径更远、留空时间更长,“满弹”则意味着更强的打击威力。

文章引述军事专家张军社说,结合舰载机和导弹的射程来算,福建舰航母作战群的作战半径可极大拓展。这个距离将使中国海军拥有远海综合攻防能力,其作战半径可覆盖西太平洋第二岛链。

其次,电磁弹射系统的响应速度很快,从冷启动到准备就绪只需15分钟。

这极大提升了舰载机的出动效率,航母可以在尽量短的时间内放飞尽可能多的舰载机,转入高强度作战的“全甲板放飞”模式。

文章介绍第二大看点时说,电磁弹射可以精准调节弹射角度和力度,因此,战斗机、无人机等机型,都可以采用电磁弹射的方式起飞。

同一艘航母上就能迅速起降战斗机、预警机、无人机等几乎所有的核心舰载机。而多种机型配合,也极大提升了航母的体系化作战能力。

文章介绍第三大看点时说,双航母的优势,比如在执行高强度任务时,两艘航母可以错开节奏,一艘主攻,一艘警戒。这样防空、对海打击都能不停歇。

也就是说,如果福建舰和另一艘航母同框,就等于有两套防空圈和两套补给体系。

此外,福建舰和另一艘航母上的舰载机可以互降。一部分在空中巡逻、掩护,另一部分回航补给、整备。这不仅最大限度地降低了被打击的风险,也保证了打击的持续性,整个编队的生存能力大大提升。

张军社说,多艘航母联合作战的制空、制海范围更大,作战半径和防护深度都会提高。

中国国家疾控局:目前病媒生物传染病风险处于较高水平

中国国家疾控局星期二通报,目前病媒生物传染病、自然疫源性传染病风险处于较高水平。

据央视新闻报道,中国国家疾控局星期二(9月23日)通报近期重点传染病疫情形势及健康提示,称受人员流动、降雨较多、病媒生物活跃,以及宿主动物活动范围扩大等因素影响,结合传染病流行规律和疫情多渠道监测结果,目前病媒生物传染病、自然疫源性传染病风险处于较高水平,手足口病、诺如病毒感染等肠道传染病聚集性疫情风险增加。

不过,中国国家疾控局称,流感等其他急性呼吸道传染病处于低水平。

中国国家疾控局也提醒,再过一周将迎来中国国庆、中秋双节,是外出旅游的高峰期,呼吁民众在假期出游前,要密切关注相关部门发布的健康信息提示,及时了解目的地的疫情信息。

美日韩外长对台海局势表示担忧

美国、日本和韩国外长星期一(9月22日)会晤后发表联合声明,称对台湾周边日益频繁的破坏稳定活动感到担忧。

据路透社报道,声明称,三国外长还强烈反对在南中国海提出“非法海洋主张”,以及试图强制执行此类主张的行为。

声明并未具体提到中国,但北京与华盛顿及其盟友正因南中国海争议关系紧绷。

中国声称对几乎整个南中国海拥有主权,与文莱、印度尼西亚、马来西亚、菲律宾和越南的专属经济区重叠。

联合声明也提到,美国国务卿鲁比奥、韩国外长赵显和日本外长岩屋毅在纽约举行会晤,并讨论了三国继续致力于终止朝鲜核计划。

德语媒体:争夺TikTok 特朗普只赢了“面子”

(德国之声中文网)涉及TikTok的禁令被白宫多次推迟执行之后,美国总统特朗普周二宣布,美中即将达成协议,TikTok会继续在美运作,但该公司的美国资产则将从中国的字节跳动转给美国拥有者。 《南德意志报》评论写道,虽然特朗普形容这是一次重大胜利,但事实却是,美国在算法问题上做出了让步,TikTok的核心仍牢牢掌握在中国手中。这篇题为《争夺 TikTok 的较量》的评论写道:

“这项围绕TikTok 的协议一旦正式生效,将意味着2024年4月开始的这场拉锯战将被划上句号。当时,美国国会通过法律,强制 TikTok 出售其美国业务,否则将被禁用。美国议员们认为这款应用实在过于强大,特别是海量的短视频可能会对以年轻人为主的用户群产生影响。一些人警告称,中国可能借助算法,有针对性地推送对其有利的内容。尽管没有相关的证据,但也一直无法打消疑虑。如果现在有人以为美中达成协议后将彻底消除上述疑虑,那就大错而特错了。对美国来说,特朗普的 TikTok 协议只是赢了‘面子’。

尽管美国投资者未来将持有 TikTok 美国公司约 80% 的股份,并在董事会中占据多数,其中一个席位甚至是由美国政府直接委派的。但是,中国母公司字节跳动Bytedance 仍是单一最大股东。更重要的是:最初引发禁止与否争议的导火索——算法,仍牢牢掌握在中国手中。”

南德意志报:有关TiKTok的博弈中,特朗普更看重的是金钱和作秀。

《南德意志报》评论指出,在有关TiKTok的博弈中,特朗普更看重的是金钱和作秀,而绝非美国利益。对此,北京心知肚明,因此也就没有戳破特朗普“胜利秀”的肥皂泡。

“事实上,中国完全有理由将有关TikTok共识视为里程碑式的胜利:不需要交出算法,这就是巨大的成功。北京很清楚,一旦TikTok遭禁,特朗普的民意也将受损。正是凭借这一筹码,加上对特朗普虚荣心的了解,中国在谈判中巧妙布局,把美国带入了一个不得放弃自己核心诉求的位置:算法仍由中国掌控。更令北京受益的是,美国未来甚至要从中国母公司字节跳动处正式申请使用该算法的许可。这相当于美国间接承认了自己无法独立开发这一复杂技术的窘境,也为中国提供了塑造高科技出口国形象的舞台。这也正是北京过去十多年来不断追求的目标。 

通过这份协议,中国将继续掌控影响 1.7 亿美国用户每天在手机屏幕上看到什么的关键杠杆。对美国来说,这绝不仅仅是围绕一款应用软件的失败,同时还承认了技术上对中国的依赖。对中美两大经济体之间仍在延烧的贸易冲突而言,这份协议也极具启发意义:中国再次证明,对付特朗普,强硬才有效果;而华盛顿方面也再次证明,为总统搭建舞台要比捍卫国家利益重要的多。种种迹象显示,北京将会继续以强硬立场同美国开展长期的对抗。“

本周四,德国反垄断局正式批准了中国电商巨头京东收购德国电子产品连锁店Mediamarkt-Saturn的计划。《图片报》就此发表评论,作者Dirk General-Kuchel是《Computer Bild》的总编。他写道:

“也许有人会说:‘不就是一家连锁零售店被收购了吗?不必大惊小怪。’但这一收购案只是中国经济强烈扩张欲的表象之一。我经常就此话题参加讨论,而我的内心世界也很矛盾:作为科技迷,中国产品的创新力令我敬佩不已。来自中国的扫地、割草机器人、智能手机、智能家居产品、蓄电池以及电动车,早已不再是西方技术的简单复制品。恰恰相反,中国已经在为现代技术的各种可能制定标准。

然而,令我担忧的,却是中国国家层面上的政治影响力。搜集到的海量数据如此诱人,中国作为亚洲高科技巨头难道会不充分加以利用吗?没有人能够真正打消我的疑虑。

问题在于,我们还能逆转局势吗?我的回答是为时已晚。过去多年来,在政治和经济层面上,我们犯了太多幼稚的错误,对太多的事情,采取了放任自流的态度。

我们当年曾嘲笑共产党国家的一些事情,恰恰是我们欧洲人,尤其是我们德国人现在最为缺乏的东西:其中就包括类似‘五年计划’这样的规划,制定清晰的愿景,让我们明确前进的方向。只要我们不能明确目标,那我们的国家就会变得越来越像廉价网店的产品。”

时隔不到一周 迪士尼宣布吉米金摩脱口秀复播

德正
2025-09-18T10:29:28.493Z
脱口秀主持人吉米·金摩

(德国之声中文网)“吉米夜现场”(Jimmy Kimmel Live,又称吉米直播秀)主持人金摩(Jimmy Kimmel)因谈及保守派倡议人士柯克(Charlie Kirk)遇害,节目上周四遭ABC电视台停播,但时隔不到一周,ABC及其母公司迪士尼这周一(22日)又宣布复播该节目。外界预期,金摩本人会在23日的节目上回应这件事。

迪士尼公司表示,当时认定金摩在节目上的言论“时间点不好,因而显得不顾他人感受”,因此决定停播,以“避免在美国国内情绪激昂之际,进一步激发紧张局势”。

路透社引述不具名的知情者消息指,迪士尼公司执行长艾格(Bob Iger)和高层沃尔顿(Dana Walden)上周末曾与金摩谈话,最后达到共识,让金摩重返萤光幕前。这位知情人士称,此决定是出于公司的最佳利益,而不是其他外部压力。

不过,另一位迪士尼内部消息人士透露,公司的确有感受到社会舆论发起抵制迪士尼、取消订阅迪士尼串流服务的压力。从Google的搜寻趋势看来,“如何取消订阅迪士尼”在搜寻引擎上的热度飙升至一年来的新高。

此前宣布下架“吉米夜现场”的电视台运营集团辛克莱(Sinclair)22日表示,仍在跟ABC公司讨论,评估是否复播该节目,因此23日仍不播出。拥有ABC多个频道的媒体集团Nexstar尚未回应此事。

另一位知名脱口秀主持人柯尔伯特(Stephen Colbert)在自己的节目上展现出欣喜之情,“我们国家漫长的、深夜的恶梦结束了”。

柯克生前创立的组织“美国转折点”(Turning Point USA)发言人科维勒(Andrew Kolvet)则在X平台写道:“不意外,迪士尼和ABC屈服了,让金摩回来,但这是他们犯的错,Nexstar和辛克莱不必跟着他们犯错。”

吉米说了什么?

上周一(15日),金摩在节目中谈到柯克案时说:“周末我们经历了一些新的低谷,‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA)帮派拼命地试图将这个谋杀柯克的孩子描绘成与他们不是一路人,并竭尽所能地利用这件事来获取政治利益。”

他接着批评了特朗普对柯克的悼念,并指着特朗普在白宫草坪上发言的视频说:“这就是一个4岁小孩悼念金鱼的方式。”

​​​​查理·柯克是美国右翼极具影响力的活动人士

柯克是特朗普最亲密的盟友之一,上周在犹他谷大学的一次户外活动中被枪杀。被控杀害柯克的男子已被捕。检察官已对他提出七项州级指控,包括加重谋杀罪,并表示将要求法庭将嫌疑人判处死刑。

柯克以支持拥枪权、反堕胎、反移民和宗教至上等右翼观点著称。由他共同创立的“美国转折点”,是美国最大的保守派青年组织,并且在2024年大选中,大力动员年轻人与有色人种选民支持特朗普。

“用政府权力压制合法言论”

在ABC宣布停播金摩的脱口秀之前,联邦通信委员会(FCC)主席卡尔(Brendan Carr)呼吁地方电视台停止播放“吉米直播秀”,并建议委员会展开调查。

美国总统特朗普称停播的决定“对美国来说是个好消息”。“ABC终于鼓起勇气去做了该做的事情,”特朗普真实社群平台上写道。曾与金摩有过节的特朗普还补充说,这位主持人“毫无才华”。

吉米·金摩2024年6月与拜登和奥巴马在民主党一次筹款活动中同台

民主党人对此事件表示愤怒,他们批评特朗普政府试图对任何被认为与其立场相悖的媒体观点加以审查。

联邦通信委员会唯一的民主党成员戈麦斯(Anna Gomez)表示,根据言论自由法,作为美国政府的独立机构,FCC无权规定广播电视可以播放哪些内容。她告诉CNN:“本届政府正越来越多地利用政府权力压制合法言论。”

作为直言不讳的特朗普批评者,加州州长纽森(Gavin Newsom)也抨击了政府最近针对媒体的举动。“购买和控制媒体平台、解雇评论员、取消节目、这些都不是巧合,这是有组织的,而且很危险,”他写道:“他们正在实时审查你。”

今年7月,哥伦比亚广播公司 (CBS) 宣布因财务考虑取消其收视率最高的深夜秀节目“柯尔伯特深夜秀”(The Late Show With Stephen Colbert)。柯尔伯特也是特朗普的一位批评者。

目前,多家美国媒体因针对特朗普的负面报道而遭到后者的谴责,甚至起诉。本周,特朗普对《纽约时报》和出版商企鹅兰登书屋提起了的诽谤诉讼,并索赔150亿美元。

I didn't want sex with my husband after having our baby

Holly Hagan-Blyth opened up about intimacy after childbirth while co-hosting the CBeebies Parenting Helpline

Sex is an integral part of many people's relationships. But for some, a loss of libido is common after life-changing events, such as pregnancy and childbirth, according to the NHS.

Reality TV star and fitness coach Holly Hagan-Blyth says this happened to her after having her son.

"I could have said, 'listen, if you don't touch me ever again, I'm not even bothered' because that's just how I felt at the time," she said when co-hosting the CBeebies Parenting Helpline.

Sex and relationship therapist Rachel Gold said mothers often expect to become intimate again after their six-week postnatal check.

"I think that really fools people into believing that this must be the time to have sex again, but it isn't true."

Holly said her sex drive dipped after the arrival of her son Alpha-Jax in 2023 and she started to avoid any sort of intimacy.

"Whenever I would give him [her husband Jacob] any type of affection, like a touch or a cuddle, I felt it was going to lead to the full thing, to sex, and I didn't want that."

"I started having a negative connotation doing anything towards him."

Being open with her husband helped, she says.

"As soon as I said, this is how I'm feeling, 'whenever I'm cuddling you and touching, can we just not make it lead to the next thing? Because it's just making me not want to do that', and all of a sudden everything was so much better because that pressure was taken off."

Her husband Jacob was worried she no longer fancied him.

"I was like, 'you need to realise this has nothing to do with you. I am feeling this way at the moment, but I don't think any differently of you.'"

"I don't really feel like having sex right now, or even maybe in the next few months. This is my issue that I'm going through, and I just need to work through it."

Holly hopes that couples experiencing the same issues can be more open.

"People do say the relationship changes after having a child, but I don't think that until you're in it, you really, truly, realise how much it changes."

Dr Jennifer Lincoln, a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology, says there are many reasons why women may not want to have sex after giving birth.

"There's a lot of healing that happens. It takes about six weeks for the uterus to return to its pre-pregnancy size. Any tears in the vagina or perineum are also healing."

There are also big hormonal changes for women which can impact their libido.

"Levels of estrogen and progesterone drop drastically. The lower estrogen levels can lead to physical changes like vaginal dryness, which can make sex painful."

"People usually think menopause is the single most acute shift in hormone levels that a woman will ever experience, but actually the few days surrounding childbirth are."

Holly Hagan-Blyth Holly, her husband and baby at the gymHolly Hagan-Blyth
Rachel stresses there is no timeline for resuming sex and it is unique to every couple.

It's not just an issue that affects mothers. CBeebies Parenting Helpline listener Frankie, who had her baby three months ago, said her male partner had gone off sex.

"I hate my body at the moment, and all I want is a bit more attention from my partner, but he just doesn't want to have sex with me anymore. I feel stuck."

Rachel says that men sometimes struggle to be open about their feelings.

"Stepping into fatherhood can bring up all sorts of things in a man... that could be a very big factor putting him off wanting to have sex."

Fleur Parker, a practitioner from childbirth charity the NCT, says dealing with these emotions is often not seen as a priority for men.

"Talking honestly to your partner about how you're feeling can really help; do not assume they know what's happening or what you are thinking."

Tips for couples starting sex again after birth

  • If penetration hurts, say so. If you pretend that everything's all right when it isn't, you may start to see sex as unpleasant
  • Take it gently, hormonal changes after childbirth may mean couples may need to use a lubricant to help make sex more comfortable
  • Make time to relax together. You're more likely to engage in intimacy when your minds are on each other rather than on other things
  • Get help if you need it. If a mother is still experiencing pain when they have their postnatal check, it is important to talk to a local GP

Britain's worst major stations for train cancellations revealed - is yours on the list?

Around one in 13 scheduled stops at City Thameslink were cancelled over the past year

City Thameslink in London has been named the worst of Britain's busiest railway stations for cancellations in the year to August.

About one in 13 of almost 150,000 scheduled stops there were cancelled during that time, according to Office of Rail and Road (ORR) figures analysed by BBC.

Those cancellations were among about three million cancelled stops in Britain of a scheduled 89 million.

The government says it is determined to drive up standards as it delivers what it describes as the biggest overhaul of the railways in a generation.

Action to improve the reliability of services cannot come soon enough for passengers like 23-year-old Cat Edge, a student from Surrey who contacted the BBC via Your Voice, Your BBC News.

One in 10 train stops were cancelled at her local train station of Earlswood in the year to August 2025.

She said when trains were delayed and trying to make up the time to reach bigger stops like nearby Gatwick, stops at smaller stations like hers were cancelled.

Despite leaving extra time, Cat said she was often late for university.

"It does feel like I miss out and come across poorly," she said. "It's difficult with professors who themselves have busy schedules, trying to say, 'oh, can I have a 20-minute lenience window?' It's quite embarrassing."

Earlswood had the sixth worst cancellation rate of any train station in Britain in the past year, excluding a small number of stations with unreliable or incomplete data.

It is managed by Thameslink, also in charge of City Thameslink station, which had the worst cancellation rate of Britain's 100 busiest stations.

Cat said: "It's so stressful, especially if when you get on a train, it's dark and you don't know whether it's actually going to stop at your station. It's scary."

She said she would welcome more advance notice if a train is not stopping at her station and would like more reliable trains late at night.

"That's when it's the worst and you're the most vulnerable," she added.

Cat Edge says trains from her local station are often cancelled, and it can make her feel unsafe at night

Emma Pickard, network operations and performance director for Thameslink and Network Rail, said they were "deeply sorry" for the disruption experienced by passengers.

She said Thameslink had been working hard to make services more reliable, tackling issues such as signalling and power supply faults, improving traincrew availability, and investing to make the network more resilient to severe weather and other unexpected events.

"When incidents outside our control do occur, such as poor weather or trespass we aim to restore the service as quickly as possible, however on a network as busy and complex as Thameslink's the disruption can be felt widely," she said.

"At times we have to make the very difficult decision to cancel some trains to get the timetable back on track."

'I was walking until midnight'

The issue of trains being cancelled late at night can be particularly difficult for passengers in rural areas.

Sheila O'Donnell, 73, lives in Arnside in Cumbria. She said her train was often cancelled when getting home from work or out seeing friends in nearby cities.

Our data shows one in 17 planned stops from the station ended up being cancelled in the past year.

"It happens so often, I'm resigned to it," she said. "The worst one I've had, I was on the train to Liverpool to celebrate somebody's big birthday, I got back to Lancaster at 21:10 to find the next train had been cancelled."

A friend dropped her at the bus station but the nearest stop was still a walk of 4.5 miles (7.24 km) from her home.

"I couldn't get a taxi," she said. "From 22:30 to midnight, I had to walk home along the dark country lane. Hardly any lights and I needed the torch on my phone."

BBC analysis calculated the percentage of cancelled stops out of those scheduled for the last 13 periods of data published by the Office of Rail and Road.

Out of all 2,549 stations, 78 were excluded from the analysis due to missing or unreliable data. This differs from the cancellation analysis by the Rail Delivery Group, which represents Network Rail and train operators.

Britain’s worst train stations for cancellations revealed

Michael Solomon Williams from Campaign for Better Transport said around three million train cancellations was "simply unacceptable" and eroding faith in the railways.

"We need a reliable, affordable and accessible rail network to deliver economic growth, increase productivity and reduce carbon emissions," he said.

He called for "tougher targets, automatic compensation, and proper investment to restore trust" with the rail industry and government collaborating.

Peter Howard tries to avoid trains altogether following several cancellations during the pandemic

Peter Howard, 58, commutes from Macclesfield to London. After several cancellations during the pandemic, he decided to avoid trains altogether.

"I just got fed up with it," he said. "I thought I'm not taking that risk any more and I ended up driving."

Over the years, Peter said train cancellations meant he had missed working meetings, his son's sports day and school pick-ups.

He said: "They were the ones that hurt the most. There'd be that sense of disappointment - 'dad's not here, he should have been'.

Peter has since returned to using the trains and feels the situation has improved recently, but added: "There was a period, I think last year in the summer, where it was something of a Russian roulette as to whether the train had turned up or not."

The data shows that, in the past year, one in 24 planned stops ended up being cancelled in Macclesfield.

Are train cancellations going down?

A Department for Transport (DfT) spokesperson said operators would have to meet "rigorous, bespoke standards" under its plans to renationalise rail services in Britain.

Great British Railways, a new arm's length body, will oversee the rail system in England, Wales and Scotland in a move that the government hopes will bring savings while also reducing delays and cancellations.

The legislation needed to establish the new body is still due to go through parliament, but some services have already been transferred into public ownership as franchises held by private companies start to expire. All services are expected to be publicly owned by the end of 2027.

The DfT said it was already starting to see "positive signs of progress with overall cancellations starting to fall".

On the face of it, the number of cancelled train stops has gone down in the most recent four-week period, when compared to the period just before or the same period last year.

However, the cancellation rate for the past year was still slightly higher than the previous one - 3.3%, up from 3.2%.

A Rail Delivery Group spokeperson said train operators "spare no effort to maintain as many services as possible" but extreme weather, infrastructure faults and trespass could have an impact.

It apologised to those affected, saying it had introduced Visual Disruption Maps - videos to help passengers navigate service changes - and was raising awareness of the Delay Repay scheme to simplify compensation.

Adolescence writer on new phone-hacking drama: 'It's a celebration of journalists who called out their own industry'

Writer Jack Thorne has praised the "remarkable" journalists who exposed the use of phone hacking in some parts of the media, ahead of a new TV series about the scandal.

ITV's forthcoming drama The Hack stars David Tennant as Nick Davies, the investigative Guardian reporter who exposed the extent of hacking at Sunday tabloid the News of the World.

Thorne, who also wrote Netflix hit Adolescence, told BBC Radio 4's Today: "I thought I knew this as a story, I thought it was a story about journalists behaving badly, I thought the story started and ended with that.

"But actually... you see it's a lot more than that. It's a relationship between the press, politics and the police that's really troubling. And what we try to do in this show is uncover the detail of that."

Thorne said phone hacking exposed a "troubling" relationship between some parts of the media and the police

The News of the World was closed down in 2011, after it emerged journalists at the paper had hacked phones of public figures in an effort to obtain exclusive stories.

Davies published several stories about phone hacking throughout the scandal, but public outrage reached a new level when it came to light that murdered schoolgirl Milly Dowler's voicemails were among those which had been hacked, giving her parents false hope that she was still alive.

For the ITV dramatisation of the scandal, Thorne has collaborated with some of the same team who made the hugely successful Mr Bates vs The Post Office.

"The difference between this and Mr Bates, which I think is really fascinating, is that Mr Bates was about the fact that journalism couldn't get purchase on this," Thorne told presenter Justin Webb.

Several journalists working for outlets including Computer Weekly, Private Eye and the BBC covered the Post Office Horizon IT scandal, but the story cut through to the public in a much bigger way after ITV's dramatisation aired in January 2024.

"There were brilliant journalists doing amazing work in the post office case," Thorne said, "but in this case, this is a celebration of brilliant journalists who actually managed to call their own industry to account.

"And I've thought a lot about that when working on this," he continued. "I think that I am instinctively a coward when it comes to looking at problems and calling out things within my own industry.

"The brilliance of these people [the journalists who exposed phone hacking]... to look at what's happening within the media sphere, and to do damage to that industry, is quite remarkable."

The Hack tells the story from two different points of view - that of Davies, as the journalist reporting on it, and police detective Dave Cook (played by Robert Carlyle), who investigated the murder of private investigator Daniel Morgan.

Tennant is one of more than 1,600 celebrities and other public figures to have settled out of court with News Group Newspapers, the publishers of the News of the World, over the phone hacking scandal.

Adolescence, created and written by Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham, swept up at the recent Emmy Awards

The launch of The Hack comes after another of Thorne's TV dramas, Adolescence, dominated the Emmy Awards earlier this month.

The series, co-created by actor Stephen Graham, told the story of a schoolboy named Jamie Miller accused of murdering a female classmate, and explored the impact of smartphones and social media on teenagers.

Asked if there would be a follow-up, Thorne said: "Certainly not a sequel, I think we've told the Miller story as well as we possibly can.

"We might, well we're trying, Stephen [Graham] and I are trying, to write something which uses the same techniques, works with the same group of people, to shed light on a different aspect of our society."

The Hack begins on Wednesday 24 September at 21:00 BST on ITV1 and ITVX

深圳全市停课机场停航

随着超强台风“桦加沙”逼近,中国南方大城深圳市宣布,今明两天全市中小学、幼儿园停课,深圳机场将于今晚8时起暂停航班运行。

据新华社报道,深圳市星期一(9月22日)宣布,星期二(23日)至星期三(24日),全市中小学、幼儿园停课,全市校外教育培训机构参照学校严格执行停课指令;深圳机场将于星期二晚8时起暂停航班运行;深圳地区各个方向列车计划自星期二中午12时开始逐步停运,下午6时至午夜12时全部停运。

专家说,“桦加沙”可能给深圳带来几个方面的风险,包括极端强风影响,“桦加沙”若以16级强度登陆,强风持续时间、破坏范围将显著扩大。

目前,深圳全市865所应急避难场所做好了开放准备。

受“桦加沙”影响,广东多地已发布“五停”通告。截至星期一下午6时,阳江、江门、中山、珠海、东莞等地星期二起实行停课、停工、停产、停运、停业的“五停”措施。

“桦加沙”星期一下午3时在菲律宾北部帕努伊坦岛登陆,随后继续向南中国海推进,预计将成今年以来影响中国的最强台风。

中国促爱沙尼亚领空事件当事方冷静克制

爱沙尼亚指责俄罗斯战机侵犯领空,联合国安全理事会就此事召开紧急会议,中国常驻联合国副代表耿爽星期一(9月22日)在会上呼吁当事方保持冷静克制,防止事态扩大升级,并说当务之急和根本之策是早日实现乌克兰危机的政治解决。

根据新华社报道,耿爽在安理会审议爱沙尼亚指认俄罗斯战机侵犯其领空事件时发言说,爱沙尼亚领空事件和安理会几天前讨论的波兰领空事件都是乌克兰危机的外溢结果,是有关各方互信缺失、疑虑增加的表现,也是当前欧洲安全局势复杂敏感的写照。

耿爽强调,乌克兰危机一日不解决、战争多持续一天,类似的事件就有可能再次发生。所以,当务之急和根本之策是早日实现乌克兰危机的政治解决,构建均衡、有效、可持续的欧洲安全架构。

耿爽说,关于爱沙尼亚领空事件,中方敦促当事方保持冷静克制,通过对话沟通澄清事实、消除疑虑,避免误解误判,防止事态扩大升级。中方一贯主张各国遵循联合国宪章宗旨和原则处理国际关系。

爱沙尼亚政府上周说,三架俄罗斯军用战机9月19日未经许可同时进入爱沙尼亚领空,停留时间共计12分钟,此举堪称挑衅。

爱方向俄罗斯驻塔林最高外交代表提出正式抗议,并提请联合国安理会就这一事件召开会议。安理会星期一举行紧急公开会。

广州一医院发生伤医事件

广州中医药大学第一附属医院星期一(9月22日)被曝发生伤医事件。

综合《中国新闻周刊》和红星新闻报道,多名知情人士透露,伤医事件发生在星期一上午,伤者是该院骨科一名王姓主任医师及跟诊的一名学生。王医生经抢救,已脱离生命危险。受伤学生伤势相对较轻。

一名参与王医生部分抢救工作的医生说,王医生身上有多处伤口,“受伤很重”,行凶者已被抓捕。

星期一晚11时许,该院骨科科室的一名医生告诉媒体,目前王医生已经做完手术,已送到ICU病房。

消息人士:中国要求券商暂停在香港开展RWA代币化业务

路透社引述两名消息人士称,中国证券监管机构已建议一些本地券商暂停在香港开展实体资产(RWA)代币化业务,这表明北京方面对迅速升温的离岸数字资产市场感到担忧。

RWA代币化流程通常将股票、债券、基金甚至房地产等传统资产,转换为可在区块链上交易的数字代币。过去几个月,包括券商在内的众多中国公司已在香港推出了相关RWA产品。

消息人士称,最近几周,至少有两家主要券商收到了中国证监会的非正式指导,要求不要在海外开展RWA代币化业务。

其中一名消息人士说,最新的监管指导旨在加强新业务的风险管理,并确保公司提出的主张,有坚实、合法的业务作为支撑。

过去一年来,香港加大力度将亚洲金融中心定位为数字资产中心,包括中国券商在内的许多公司都在准备推出虚拟资产交易、投资咨询和虚拟资产管理服务。
