Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups on Gaza ceasefire plan

Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups before giving a formal response to the latest proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal put forward by the US.

President Donald Trump said on Friday morning that expected to know within 24 hours whether Hamas has agreed to the plan.

On Tuesday, Trump said Israel had accepted the conditions necessary for a 60-day ceasefire, during which the parties would work to end the 20-month war.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military is continuing to bomb targets across the Gaza Strip.

Local journalists reported hearing explosions and gunfire as Israeli helicopter gunships and artillery struck the southern Khan Younis area on Friday morning.

Overnight, at least 15 Palestinians were killed in strikes on two tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis, the local Nasser hospital said.

The Israeli military has not yet commented on the strikes, but it did say its forces were "operating to dismantle Hamas military capabilities".

In a statement issued early on Friday, Hamas said it was discussing with the leaders of other Palestinian factions the ceasefire proposal that it had received from regional mediators Qatar and Egypt.

Hamas said it would deliver a "final decision" to the mediators once the consultations had ended and then announce it officially.

The proposal is believed to include the staggered release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of 18 other hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Fifty hostages are still being held in Gaza, at least 20 of whom are believed to be alive.

One of Hamas's key demands is the resumption of unrestricted food and medical aid into Gaza, and the proposal reportedly says sufficient quantities would enter the territory immediately with the involvement of the United Nations and Red Cross.

It is said the plan would also include a phased Israeli military withdrawal from parts of Gaza.

Above all, Hamas wants a guarantee that Israeli air and ground operations will not resume after the end of the 60-day ceasefire.

The proposal is believed to say that negotiations on an end to the war and the release of the remaining hostages would begin on day one.

Donald Trump told reporters early on Friday that he expected to know "over the next 24 hours" whether the proposals would be accepted by Hamas.

The hope then would be the resumption of formal, indirect, talks ahead of a planned visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington next week.

"We sure hope it's a done deal, but I think it's all going to be what Hamas is willing to accept," US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Israel's Channel 12 TV on Thursday.

"One thing is clear: The president wants it to be over. The prime minister wants it to be over. The American people, the Israeli people, want it to be over."

Netanyahu meanwhile promised to secure the release of all the remaining hostages during a visit to Kibbutz Nir Oz, a community near the Israel-Gaza border where a total of 76 residents were abducted during the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023 that triggered the war.

"I feel a deep commitment, first of all, to ensure the return of all of our hostages, all of them," he said. "We will bring them all back."

He did not, however, commit to ending the war. He has insisted that will not happen until the hostages are freed and Hamas's military and governing capabilities are destroyed.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 57,130 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

Elephant kills British and New Zealand tourists in Zambia

Two female tourists, including a British pensioner, have been killed by a charging elephant while on safari in Zambia, police have told the BBC.

The pair were attacked by a female elephant that was with a calf at the South Luangwa National Park, said local police chief Robertson Mweemba.

The two tourists were trampled to death by the nursing elephant after efforts by tour guides to stop it by firing shots failed. Both women died at the scene, he said.

The BBC has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.

Mr Mweemba said the two women were part of a guided safari group who were walking in the park when the elephant charged towards them at high speed.

The two tourists had stayed for four days at the Big Lagoon Camp, about 600 km (370 miles) from the capital, Lusaka, where the attack happened.

Female elephants are very protective of their calves and Zambian authorities have previously called on tourists to exercise extreme caution while observing wildlife around the country.

Last year, two American tourists were killed in separate attacks by elephants in the southern African country. Both cases involved elderly tourists who were in a safari vehicle when they were attacked.

德语媒体:疏美亲中?对欧洲不是好选项

null 媒体看中国
2025-06-30T13:33:59.491Z
与美国不同,中国是多边贸易的捍卫者?

(德国之声中文网)《新苏黎世报》发表波茨坦大学政治学者迪特(Heribert Dieter)的客座评论,题为“北京不是全球化的拯救者”。

文章写道,美国总统特朗普的保护主义政策在欧盟国家引发愤慨。有观察家认为,世界第二大经济体中国或许可以成为一个替代伙伴。7月中旬欧中峰会之际,特别是北京想要推动建立新的伙伴关系。

但作者问道,从欧洲视角来看,扩大与中国的经贸关系是否是聪明之举?

文章写道:“早在特朗普开始第一总统任期之际,就有一些经理人看上去将中国视为全球化的拯救者。2017年1月,中国国家和党的领导人习近平在达沃斯世界经济论坛受到热捧,因为他发表了支持自由经济秩序的演说。”

“如今,这一对中国耐人寻味的积极评价重演。西班牙首相桑切斯4月前往北京,表示西班牙将中国视为欧洲经贸合作的伙伴。德国经济研究所(IW)所长许特(Michael Hüther)4月底呼吁,要思考一个没有美国的世界经济秩序,并在新的基础上建立与中国的关系。”

“另一家德国经济研究所(DIW)所长弗拉茨舍(Marcel Fratzscher)甚至于5月声称,与美国不同,中国想要加强多边贸易秩序;美国则因其保护主义破坏了多边世界秩序。”

作者则认为:“比美国人早很长时间以前,中国就开始架空以规则为基础的世界贸易秩序。特别是补贴的广泛使用,损害了中国企业与其他经济体的公平竞争。补贴在中国无处不在,2022年,超过99%的中国上市企业获得了直接的国家资助。”

作者写道:“如今,中国的高出口掩盖了该国已开始的下行。2024年,中国商品贸易顺差达到创纪录的9920亿美元。但这并非中国经济实力的彰显,而是反映出特别是内需十分疲弱。中国消费者对于该国继续崛起失去了信任,对更为晦暗的前景作出反应,限制个人消费。他们不再购买欧洲产的奢侈品,如德国汽车或法国时装。”

“此外,引人注意的是,中国和欧盟去年的商品贸易顺差都创下纪录。…无论中国还是欧盟国家,特别是德国,都深受内需疲弱、消费者对未来信心不足之苦。”

“这些有相似问题的经济体组成联盟,对于中国和欧盟国家都无好处。”

而在政治方面,作者写道:“增强美国的地缘政治对手是否是聪明之举?尽管对美国总统的政策十分不满,但仍不能忽视,欧洲与美国的共同之处仍比与中国多得多。中国既不是市场经济,中国公民也不能表达对本国政府的不满。2019年,欧委会明确表示,中国是体制对手,宣扬的是另一种政治模式。此后,中欧在政治上靠近已成不可能。”

“并且,华盛顿在密切关注布鲁塞尔对于重新靠近中国的考量。美国财长贝森特——特朗普政府最冷静的战略谋划者之一,4月曾表示,如果欧洲靠近中国,等于是自割咽喉。”

在上周于青岛举行的上合组织国防部长会议上,伊朗国防部长(左二)也与会

中国在中东的角色:边线

《法兰克福汇报》的评论写道:“中国是伊朗最大的贸易伙伴,称自己在中东是斡旋的力量,扮演越来越重要的角色。但真遇到情况,美国则仍是该地区中心的权力因素。”

文章写道:“中国在边线上。北京从这一位置对美国空袭作出犀利批评。北京详细阐述美国违反了联合国宪章。这样的言辞是俄罗斯对乌克兰侵略战争中,北京迄今都未使用过的。不过,如果牵涉到具体行动,那中国在伊朗并无动作。”

“此外,即便中国无所作为,对北京来说最糟糕的局面也得以避免:在可预见的时间内,伊朗仍将不能拥有核弹,这符合北京的利益。此外,德黑兰政府继续掌权,可能继续以低价出售石油给中国,这一点甚至总统特朗普如今也在社媒上表示认可。”

作者写道:“北京在战事中缺席,这显示所谓中国-伊朗-俄罗斯-朝鲜‘轴心’只存在于纸面上。”

“美国则显示出,特朗普执政下也可能不单是威胁,也会出击。这一风险中国如今须考虑在内,倘若涉及到南中国海的主导权或者进攻台湾。美国在亚洲的威慑力上升,中国在中东的威慑力下降。”

特朗普将发关税通牒 欧盟做最后努力

德正
2025-07-04T10:25:22.066Z
特朗普7月3日在爱荷华的一场集会上

(德国之声中文网)特朗普表示,他的政府将于周五(7月4日)开始向贸易伙伴发出信函,通知对方美国设定的单边关税税率,他表示对各国的关税从8月1日起开始生效。

特朗普周四告诉记者,周五将发出大约“10到12封”信函,更多信函“将在未来几天内”发出。“我认为到9号,这些信函将覆盖全部(国家),”特朗普补充道,他指的是他最初设定的7月9日最后期限,即各国与美国达成协议以避免美国提高进口关税。“这些关税的税率可能从60%或70%到10%或20%不等。”

特朗普最初于4月2日宣布提高所谓的“对等”关税,最高可达50%,但随后将这一计划暂停了90天,以给各国谈判留出时间,在此期间,关税税率为10%。

特朗普多次警告,如果各国在下周三(7月9日)最后期限前未能与美国达成贸易协议,他将单方面对这些国家征收关税,这使得那些急于与美国达成协议的贸易伙伴,包括日本、韩国和欧盟面临更大的压力。

全球贸易秩序“被颠覆”: 特朗普关税将对世界经济带来怎样的影响?

欧盟:通过原则性协议争取时间

对欧盟来说,达成全面的关税协定时间已经不够,布鲁塞尔希望能先达成原则协议,以避免高额关税。正在华盛顿与美方官员会谈的欧盟贸易委员塞夫科维奇(Maros Sefcovic)周四在X平台发帖称,过去一周是“富有建设性的”一周,“我们的目标没有变——达成一份好的、有雄心的跨大西洋贸易协议”。

特朗普希望欧盟从美国进口更多产品,例如天然气、汽车和军火。他还反对欧盟的消费者和气候保护法规。特朗普还认为,一些欧盟国家征收的数字税以及欧盟委员会针对大型互联网公司的反垄断行动是不公平的。

增加从美国的进口以及协调某些标准属于欧盟与华盛顿协商谈判的内容。然而,欧盟委员会已排除修改欧盟法律的可能性,尤其是在消费者保护方面。在对互联网公司的罚款方面,布鲁塞尔拥有一定的回旋余地,但拒绝做出具体让步。

欧盟出口到美国的商品一般需缴纳10%的关税。药品和其他医药产品免税。汽车则需缴纳25%的关税。钢铁和铝产品的关税达50%。据布鲁塞尔估计,美国关税影响了价值3700亿欧元的欧洲商品。

除欧盟外,日本、韩国和印度也在为达成协议做随后的努力。特朗普本周对与印度达成协议表示乐观,但对日本口气不满,称东京是一个难以对付的谈判对手。

目前为止,特朗普政府仅同英国和越南达成了贸易协议。今年5月在会谈后,华盛顿同意与中国暂时“休战”90天,从而使得世界最大的两个经济体降低了相互间报复性的关税。

特朗普对与普京的通话表失望:“我认为他不想停下来”

德正

特朗普对普京的失望情绪在明显增加。

(德国之声中文网)美国总统特朗普表示,他与俄罗斯总统普京的通话并未就结束战争达成任何进展。“我认为他不想停下来,这真的很糟糕。”特朗普在谈到乌克兰停火前景时说道。

而克里姆林宫则坚称俄罗斯将继续追求实现其战争目标。

乌克兰总统泽连斯基表示,随着美俄两国总统通话的报道出现,空中警报已开始在乌克兰全国范围内响起。

泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示:“俄罗斯再次表明它无意结束战争和恐怖活动。”

他还补充道:“所有这些都清楚地表明,如果没有真正大规模的压力,俄罗斯不会改变其愚蠢的破坏性行为。”他敦促尤其是美国应加大对莫斯科的压力。

他说,俄罗斯的袭击共造成23人受伤。乌克兰空军称,俄罗斯出动了539架各类无人机并发射了11枚导弹。

乌克兰空军一名代表说,此次袭击是俄罗斯入侵乌克兰以来规模最大的一次。

最近几周,俄罗斯的夜间袭击不断升级。法新社的统计显示,莫斯科在6月份向乌克兰发射了创纪录数量的无人机和导弹,基辅与莫斯科之间的直接和平谈判似乎陷入停滞。

这一轮袭击发生后,乌克兰外交部长西比加(Andriy Sybiga)在社交媒体上写道:“普京明显无视美国以及所有呼吁结束战争的人。”

随着基辅对美国继续提供军事援助的担忧加剧,俄罗斯的袭击也随之升级,而美国继续提供军事援助是乌克兰抵御无人机和导弹攻击的关键。

美国本周宣布将减少对乌克兰的部分军事援助,欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩表示,这是一个明确的信号,表明欧盟需要“加大力度”。

自从今年1月重返白宫,特朗普已经与普京进行过5次通话。特朗普对普京的失望情绪在明显增加。

预计乌克兰总统泽连斯基周五将与特朗普举行通话。泽连斯基强调说:“我们依然寄希望于美国支持的继续。一些武器系统是欧洲国家无法提供的,比如对乌克兰至关重要的爱国者防空系统所需的导弹。”

消息人士:中国外长称不希望俄罗斯战败

《南华早报》引述多位知情人士的消息称,中国外交部长王毅周三对欧盟高级外交官表示,北京不希望看到俄罗斯在乌克兰战败,因为中国担心美国届时会将全部注意力转向中国。

报道称,王毅是在与欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯的会谈中作出上述表态的。这一说法印证了布鲁塞尔许多人对中国立场的判断,但却与中国在公开场合的表态不一致。中国外交部一直声称,中国“不是乌克兰战争的当事方”。一些参与会谈的欧盟官员对王毅如此直率的发言感到惊讶。

不过,据称王毅否认中国在财政或军事上对俄罗斯的战争行动提供了实质性支持,并坚称如果中国真的在这样做,战争早就结束了。

Kyiv hit by barrage of drone strikes as Putin rejects Trump's truce bid

The latest Russian attack broke another record with 550 missiles raining down on Ukraine overnight

A pall of acrid smoke hung over Kyiv on Friday morning following a night of intensive Russian strikes that hit almost every district of the capital, according to Ukrainian authorities.

The hours of darkness were once again punctuated by the staccato of air defence guns, buzz of drones and large explosions. Ukraine said Russia had fired a record 550 drones and 11 missiles during a long night of bombardment.

The strikes came hours after a phone call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, after which the US president said he was "disappointed" that Putin was not ready to end Russia's war against Ukraine.

A woman was killed in Russia following Ukrainian drone attacks, officials said.

The acting governor of the southern Rostov region said she had been killed in a strike on village not far from the Ukrainian border.

Russia's overnight air strikes broke another record, Ukraine's air force said, with 72 of the 550 drones penetrating air defences - up from a previous record of 537 launched last Saturday night.

Air raid alerts sounded for more than eight hours as several waves of attacks struck Kyiv, the "main target of the strikes", the air force said on the messaging app Telegram.

Ukraine's foreign minister condemned "one of the worst" nights in the capital and said "Moscow must be slapped with the toughest sanctions without delay".

"Absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv. One of the worst so far," wrote Andrii Sybiha on X.

Noting that it came directly after Putin's call with Trump, Sybiha added that "[Putin] does it on purpose" and "clearly shows his disregard for the United States and everyone who has called for an end to the war".

Footage shared on social media by Ukraine's state emergency service showed firefighters battling to extinguish fires in Kyiv after Russia's large-scale overnight attack.

At least 23 people were wounded in the attacks on Kyiv, according to Ukrainian authorities, with railway infrastructure damaged and buildings and cars set ablaze across the capital.

Friday's attacks were the latest in a string of major Russian air strikes on Ukraine that have intensified in recent weeks as ceasefire talks have largely stalled.

War in Ukraine has been raging for more than three years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022.

Following his conversation with Putin on Thursday, Trump said that "no progress" to end the fighting had been made.

"I'm very disappointed with the conversation I had today with President Putin, because I don't think he's there, and I'm very disappointed," Trump said.

"I'm just saying I don't think he's looking to stop, and that's too bad."

The Kremlin reiterated that it would continue to seek to remove "the root causes of the war in Ukraine". Putin has sought to return Ukraine to Russia's sphere of influence and said last week that "the whole of Ukraine is ours".

Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that he hoped to speak to Trump on Thursday about the supply of US weapons after a decision in Washington to halt some shipments of critical weapons to Ukraine.

Kyiv has warned that the move would impede its ability to defend Ukraine against escalating airstrikes and Russian advances on the frontlines.

Speaking to reporters, Trump said "we're giving weapons" and "we haven't" completely paused the flow of weapons. He blamed former President Joe Biden for sending "so many weapons to Ukraine that it risked weakening US defences".

Noel Gallagher says Oasis 'sounding huge' as comeback tour launches

Getty Images Oasis pictured in 1994Getty Images
Oasis's second album (What's the Story) Morning Glory? has sold over 22 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful records of all time

It's the gig that fans have been waiting 5,795 days for, as Oasis kick off their reunion tour at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on Friday night.

The venue has been hosting soundchecks and rehearsals all week, with passersby treated to snatches of songs such as Cigarettes & Alcohol, Wonderwall and Champagne Supernnova.

"It's sounding huge," Noel Gallagher told talkSPORT radio. "This is it, there's no going back now."

The Oasis Live '25 tour was the biggest concert launch ever seen in the UK and Ireland, with more than 10 million fans from 158 countries queuing to buy tickets last summer.

An info graphic showing Oasis plan to play 41 shows, and have sold 1.38 million tickets

Around 900,000 tickets were sold, but many fans complained when standard standing tickets advertised at £135 plus fees were re-labelled "in demand" and changed on Ticketmaster to £355 plus fees.

The sale prompted an investigation from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), which said Ticketmaster may have breached consumer protection law by selling "platinum" tickets for almost 2.5 times the standard price, without explaining they came with no additional benefits.

The CMA ordered Ticketmaster to change the way it labels tickets and reveals prices to fans in the future. Ticketmaster said it "welcomed" the advice.

Still, the debacle has done nothing to dampen the excitement in Cardiff, where fans have arrived from Spain, Peru, Japan, America and elsewhere for the opening night.

"For me, Oasis represents an overwhelming optimism about being young and loving music," says Jeff Gachini, a fan from Kenya who's making his first visit to the UK for the show.

"To write simple music that relays the simple truth of life is very difficult. For me, they do that better than anyone."

Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher will be joined on stage by Gem Archer, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Andy Bell, all former members of Oasis, alongside drummer Joey Waronker, who has previously recorded with Beck and REM; and toured with Liam.

The band will also be augmented by a brass section, and backing singer Jess Greenfield, who is part of Noel's side project the High Flying Birds.

Meanwhile, rumours about the setlist have been swirling all week, as Oasis songs echoed around the Principality Stadium.

One purported running order that was leaked to Reddit suggested the band would open with Hello and finish with Champagne Supernova, with other highlights including Acquiesece, Roll With It, Live Forever and Supersonic.

Noel is also expected to take lead vocals twice during the show, on short sets including songs such as Half The World Away and The Masterplan.

Britain's biggest band

Oasis were the biggest band in Britain from 1994 to 1997, selling tens of millions of copies of their first three albums Definitely Maybe, (What's The Story) Morning Glory and Be Here Now.

Liam's sneering vocals and Noel's distorted guitars brought a rock and roll swagger back to the charts, revitalising British guitar music after an influx of self-serious Seattle grunge.

Born and raised in Manchester, they formed the band to escape the dead-end mundanity of their working class backgrounds.

"In Manchester you either became a musician, a footballer, a drugs dealer or work in a factory. And there aren't a lot of factories left, you know?" Noel Gallagher once said.

"We didn't start in university or anything like this. We're not a collection of friends that kind of come together and discuss things musically.

"We started the group... because we were all on the dole and we were unemployed and we rehearsed and we thought we were pretty good."

Oasis was originally Liam's band, performing under the name The Rain. But after watching them live, Noel offered to join – on the condition that he became chief songwriter and de facto leader.

That fait accompli brought them worldwide fame, culminating in two open-air gigs at Knebworth House in summer 1996.

Nearly five per cent of the UK population applied for tickets, with a then-record 125,000 people watching the band top a line-up that also included The Prodigy, Manic Street Preachers, Ocean Colour Scene, The Chemical Brothers, The Charlatans and a Beatles tribute.

But festering tension between the Gallagher brothers often spilled over into verbal and physical violence.

Backstage at a gig in Barcelona in 2000, for example, Noel attacked Liam after he questioned the legitimacy of his eldest daughter. The guitarist walked out for the rest of the European tour, leaving the band to continue with a stand-in.

Although they repaired the relationship, the insults and in-fighting continued until 28 August, 2009, when Oasis split up minutes before they took the stage at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

"People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer," Noel wrote in a statement at the time.

He would later recount a backstage argument in which his younger brother grabbed his guitar and started "wielding it like an axe", adding, "he nearly took my face off with it".

PA Media OasisPA Media
The band's biggest hits include Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Live Forever

Since then, they've pursued successful solo careers, while constantly fielding questions about an Oasis reunion.

Liam called the idea "inevitable" in 2020, and said the band should reform to support NHS workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. However, he said his brother had spurned the idea, despite a lucrative offer from promoters.

"There was a lot of money knocking about," he told ITV's Jonathan Ross Show. "It was £100 million to do a tour.

"But [Noel] isn't into it. He's after a knighthood, isn't he?"

The reconciliation took another five years and, with neither of the Gallaghers consenting to an interview, it's hard to know what informed their decision to get back together.

Tabloid newspapers suggested that Noel's divorce from Sara McDonald in 2022 led to a thaw in relations. Others have suggested the brothers simply wanted the Oasis story to have a more satisfactory conclusion than a dressing room bust-up.

"I've heard everything is honky dory and they're getting on great," says Tim Abbott, former managing director of Oasis's record label, Creation.

"I've worked with bands in the past that had separate limos, separate walkways onto the stage. I don't think they'll get to that. They're grown men."

According to analysis by Birmingham City University, the Oasis tour could bring in £400 million in tickets sales and merchandise.

Whatever sparked the reunion, the sold-out tour will see the band play 41 shows between July and November, spanning the UK & Ireland, North America, Oceania and South America.

"Probably the biggest and most pleasing surprise of the reunion announcement is how huge it was internationally," said Oasis's co-manager Alec McKinlay in an interview with Music Week.

"Honestly, we knew it would be big here, and that doesn't take much intuition. But looking outside the UK, we knew they had a strong fanbase, we did all the stats.

"We were quite cautious about what that would mean when it came to people actually buying tickets but we were just bowled over by how huge it was."

McKinlay added that the band had no plans for new music, and described the tour as their "last time around".

They take to the stage for the first time in 16 years at 20:15 UK time on Friday night.

Shunning the usual rock and roll trappings, Noel Gallagher was spotted arriving for the show by train.

Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups on Gaza ceasefire plan

Hamas says it is consulting other Palestinian groups before giving a formal response to the latest proposal for a new Gaza ceasefire and hostage release deal put forward by the US.

President Donald Trump said on Friday morning that expected to know within 24 hours whether Hamas has agreed to the plan.

On Tuesday, Trump said Israel had accepted the conditions necessary for a 60-day ceasefire, during which the parties would work to end the 20-month war.

Meanwhile, the Israeli military is continuing to bomb targets across the Gaza Strip.

Local journalists reported hearing explosions and gunfire as Israeli helicopter gunships and artillery struck the southern Khan Younis area on Friday morning.

Overnight, at least 15 Palestinians were killed in strikes on two tents housing displaced people in Khan Younis, the local Nasser hospital said.

The Israeli military has not yet commented on the strikes, but it did say its forces were "operating to dismantle Hamas military capabilities".

In a statement issued early on Friday, Hamas said it was discussing with the leaders of other Palestinian factions the ceasefire proposal that it had received from regional mediators Qatar and Egypt.

Hamas said it would deliver a "final decision" to the mediators once the consultations had ended and then announce it officially.

The proposal is believed to include the staggered release of 10 living Israeli hostages and the bodies of 18 other hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails.

Fifty hostages are still being held in Gaza, at least 20 of whom are believed to be alive.

One of Hamas's key demands is the resumption of unrestricted food and medical aid into Gaza, and the proposal reportedly says sufficient quantities would enter the territory immediately with the involvement of the United Nations and Red Cross.

It is said the plan would also include a phased Israeli military withdrawal from parts of Gaza.

Above all, Hamas wants a guarantee that Israeli air and ground operations will not resume after the end of the 60-day ceasefire.

The proposal is believed to say that negotiations on an end to the war and the release of the remaining hostages would begin on day one.

Donald Trump told reporters early on Friday that he expected to know "over the next 24 hours" whether the proposals would be accepted by Hamas.

The hope then would be the resumption of formal, indirect, talks ahead of a planned visit by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington next week.

"We sure hope it's a done deal, but I think it's all going to be what Hamas is willing to accept," US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee told Israel's Channel 12 TV on Thursday.

"One thing is clear: The president wants it to be over. The prime minister wants it to be over. The American people, the Israeli people, want it to be over."

Netanyahu meanwhile promised to secure the release of all the remaining hostages during a visit to Kibbutz Nir Oz, a community near the Israel-Gaza border where a total of 76 residents were abducted during the Hamas-led attack on 7 October 2023 that triggered the war.

"I feel a deep commitment, first of all, to ensure the return of all of our hostages, all of them," he said. "We will bring them all back."

He did not, however, commit to ending the war. He has insisted that will not happen until the hostages are freed and Hamas's military and governing capabilities are destroyed.

The Israeli military launched a campaign in Gaza in response to the 7 October 2023 attack, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

At least 57,130 people have been killed in Gaza since then, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry.

Home Office not checking when foreign worker visas expire, MPs say

Getty Images UK Border signGetty Images

The Home Office does not know whether foreign workers are leaving the UK or staying to work illegally after their visas expire, a cross-party committee of MPs has said.

The Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which scrutinises government spending, said the Home Office had failed to analyse exit checks since the skilled worker visa route was introduced in 2020 under the Conservatives.

Some 1.18 million people have applied to come to the UK via this route between its launch in December 2020 and the end of 2024.

The Home Office said earlier this year that it was working to modernise border security and boost digital checks. The BBC has approached the Home Office for comment on the report.

The skilled worker visa route replaced the Tier 2 (General) work visa after the UK left the European Union.

The route was expanded in 2022 by the previous Conservative government to address skill shortages and job vacancies in health and social care in the wake of the Covid pandemic, driving net migration to record levels.

But the PAC has accused the Home Office of failing to gather "basic information" on whether people leave the UK after their visas expire and showing "little curiosity about how the route was operating".

Its report said the department still relied on airline passenger records to check if someone had left the country and that there had been no analysis of those records since 2020.

It added that the Home Office needed to set out what measures would be put in place to record when people had left the country.

The report also said there was "widespread evidence of workers suffering debt bondage, working excessive hours and exploitative conditions" and accused the department of being "slow and ineffective" to tackle exploitation.

In May, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the government would end overseas recruitment for care workers as part of the plans to curb near record net migration.

Home Office Permanent Secretary Dame Antonia Romeo has also said overstaying is a "problem" the department was "fixing".

Elephant kills British and New Zealand tourists in Zambia

Two female tourists, including a British pensioner, have been killed by a charging elephant while on safari in Zambia, police have told the BBC.

The pair were attacked by a female elephant that was with a calf at the South Luangwa National Park, said local police chief Robertson Mweemba.

The two tourists were trampled to death by the nursing elephant after efforts by tour guides to stop it by firing shots failed. Both women died at the scene, he said.

The BBC has contacted the Foreign Office for comment.

Mr Mweemba said the two women were part of a guided safari group who were walking in the park when the elephant charged towards them at high speed.

The two tourists had stayed for four days at the Big Lagoon Camp, about 600 km (370 miles) from the capital, Lusaka, where the attack happened.

Female elephants are very protective of their calves and Zambian authorities have previously called on tourists to exercise extreme caution while observing wildlife around the country.

Last year, two American tourists were killed in separate attacks by elephants in the southern African country. Both cases involved elderly tourists who were in a safari vehicle when they were attacked.

British Bulldogs to Basil Fawlty - your banknote redesign ideas

Julie Dudley the Bulldog on Cawsand Beach in Cornwall with the sea in the backgroundJulie
Dudley the dog is unlikely to feature, but animals are a popular suggestion

While cash might not be as popular as it once was, the opportunity to fashion the next series of banknotes has got brains whirring and tails wagging.

Within a day of reporting on the Bank of England's public invitation to influence a major redesign of banknotes, there were more than 2,000 responses to Your Voice, Your BBC on the issue.

Dudley the British Bulldog, pictured on Cawsand Beach in Cornwall, will be one of the least likely contenders, despite being described as a "national treasure" by his owner Julie, from Plymouth.

But animals and nature, as well as railways and TV nostalgia have featured strongly among the ideas.

Images of historical characters, starting with William Shakespeare, have featured on Bank of England notes since 1970.

Now, the Bank's chief cashier Victoria Cleland has suggested images on the next set of £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes could stick with notable figures of the past or move on to a new theme, as is seen on banknotes issued in Scotland, Nothern Ireland and around the world.

The Bank is giving people a month to select from certain themes, such as architecture, innovation or the arts, or suggest their own topics.

The Bank has not commented on the number of entries so far, but - if responses to the BBC are anything to go by - they are likely to be inundated.

Great ships

The SS Great Britain in Bristol is among the maritime suggestions

Among the themes to be suggested was a celebration of the UK's maritime heritage.

The Mary Rose, HMS Belfast, HMS Trincomalee, HMS Victory, Cutty Sark, and the SS Great Britain are all worthy of a place on a banknote, according to Hilary in London.

Charles from Bristol goes further. "I don't just mean the spectacularly beautiful clipper ships, and instantly recognisable liners, but perhaps some of the lesser known vessels trading with Commonwealth countries, or oil rig support vessels working hard in the North Sea," he wrote.

Famous landmarks

Stonehenge is always a popular suggestion for something that represents Britain

There are appeals for the themes and choices to represent the whole of the country.

The Angel of the North is a regular suggestion, and areas of natural beauty such as the Yorkshire Dales.

Mike in Salisbury thinks using tourist sites on banknotes could bring benefits.

"Tourists come to England to see the main sites such as Stonehenge, Buckingham Palace, the Queen Elizabeth Tower etc," he says.

"If the banknotes showed these pictures then they would be more likely to visit the site, hold one up when taking a photo, and maybe even taking the note home as a souvenir."

Classic TV characters

Classic sitcoms like Fawlty Towers might be a popular choice

Nostalgia features heavily, bringing a more recent historical outlook to notes that have carried images of people from the past for more than 50 years.

"Some classic British children's TV characters like Willow The Wisp, Bagpuss, or even a collection of them would make me smile," says Steve in Cardiff.

"Likewise I think some classic British TV could be represented, like The Bill - no pun intended - or Casualty, soap operas or even comedies like Fawlty Towers. Television has been a large part of life for many people growing up and I'm sure, people would appreciate a bit of nostalgia on the notes."

Vintage trains

Many people would like to see British railways and vintage trains like the British Pullman celebrated

Nostalgia for the railways and "local and meaningful" stations also features in responses.

"With the 200 years of the railway in Britain being celebrated, it seems a shame not to celebrate that considering we gave railways to the world," says Ian in Derby.

A mobile phone?

Despite the wide range of options, some people are keen to stick to the way key figures in history are honoured on banknotes.

"Having looked at all the options I really do think that historical figures should still be number one choice. Might it be possible to include Diana Princess of Wales somewhere?" asks Elizabeth, from Oxford.

But with cash used in only 12% of transactions, some say the time and effort involved in a huge overhaul of notes is unnecessary.

"We are sadly faced with the prospect of a cashless society, with so many places refusing to accept my cash, so I have to wonder, why bother changing the design?" says Dawn in Redditch.

Ian in Leighton Buzzard is much more blunt. "I would suggest that the new banknotes look like a mobile phone because that is how people are used to paying," he says.

People can submit their views via an online form on the Bank's website, or by post, by the end of July.

The final decision on what exactly features on a banknote lies with the Bank's governor.

“临时家属”上岗:上海陪诊破题老有所依

南方周末研究员 李润泽子

责任编辑:戴春晨

身处外地的张枫,在社交平台反复刷新求助帖——“工作走不开,求上海陪诊师带行动不便的母亲就医”,字里行间满是焦虑;一千多公里外的广州,实习公寓里的杨晓正对着空调滴水声发呆,手机突然震动,屏幕亮起陪诊师发来的提醒:“检查当天带点糖防低血糖。”两个素未谋面的年轻人,在不同城市的夜晚,因不同面向的同一种需求与陪诊师产生了交集。

幸运的是,张枫很快就找到了一名陪诊师。这位陪诊师从小区门口的准时接送到全程的流程引导、候诊时的轻声讲解,再到缴费取药的细致安排,每个环节都让异地子女的焦虑得到缓解。而小杨在做完无痛胃肠镜检查后,是陪诊师将麻醉醒来后的她轻轻扶起,这份陌生环境里的妥帖照料,让她第一次意识到,医院里还有这样一群人,能成为陌生人的“临时家属”。

生活在城市里的老人越来越多,有陪诊服务总是好的。上海,这座国内最早进入人口老龄化的城市,近期出台《老年人助医陪诊服务试点方案》,开始系统性尝试培育规范的养老服务机构和专业的陪诊师队伍,探索服务流程、收费标准及监管机制。政策支持将专业陪诊纳入养老服务补贴,为困难老人兜底;鼓励区街购买服务,为高龄、独居老人提供低偿陪诊;同时引导公益资源参与。这种“政策兜底+社会协同”的设计,既回应了老龄化社会中弱势群体的就医痛点,也为破解陪诊行业的标准缺失、服务碎片化等问题提供了区域性实践路径。

但上海的探索只是起点。全国范围内,陪诊需求早已突破老年群体:年轻人因工作繁忙选择陪诊、异地患者需要流程帮手、特殊检查的陪同规定,都让服务受众日益多元。然而市场扩张的背后,行业面临着从业者资质参差、标准不统一、法律责任模糊等挑战。

上海针对老年群体的规范化探索,与全国的多元需求形成对照。前者试图通过政策引导、资源整合,解决老龄化带来的特殊问题;后者则在市场驱动下,不断拓展服务边界。如何将上海的制度探索经验与全国的多元实践结合,建立统一的行业标准,完善服务规范,让不同年龄、不同需求的人都能获得可靠的陪诊服务,成为亟待破解的课题。当陪诊服务既能托底老年人的就医尊严,又能满足各年龄段的现实需求,或许才真正实现了从零散服务到公共产品的蜕变。

近六百万老人如何更好地就医?

在上海,像张枫的母亲这样需要助医陪伴的老人并不少见。这是因为,上海正在逐渐“老”去。

按照国际通行标准,65岁及以上老年人口占比超过7%,称之为老龄化社会;超过14%,称之为中度老龄化社会;超过21%,称之为重度老龄化社会。而上海早在1979年就已经迈入老龄化。历经四十余年,截至2024年年末,上海65岁及以上户籍人口已达452.14万,占比29.4%;60岁及以上人口更达577.62万。这相当于约每三位上海户籍居民中就有一位老年人。

与此同时,数据预测显示,上海户籍老年人口2025年将增至585万,2031年前后达到峰值600万,其中高龄老人(80岁以上)2035年将突破180万。

随着年龄增长,老年人身体机能衰退,患病率高且疾病复杂,对医疗服务需求远超常人。然而,在现实的就医过程中,老年群体却面临着重重困境。

中国社会福利与养老服务协会发布的《陪诊服务发展研究报告(2025)》显示,超两成受访者不熟悉就诊流程或对医院布局陌生,近两成存在信息沟通障碍或因年龄、行动不便而就医困难。患者认为陪诊服务最适用人群集中在行动不便者、高龄独居老人和不熟悉医院环境者。

《2024老年友善医疗微改造需求洞察报告》则指出,超九成受访老人需要陪诊,主要依靠配偶和子女,但过半受访者认为老年友善医院建设亟待提升,人工服务不足、医院指引不清晰是突出问题。

就诊细节的背后,其实是多重社会矛盾的集中体现。

中南大学公共管理学院社会学系教授米莉向南方周末分析陪诊服务兴起时提到,推动陪诊服务这一职业发展与养老保障体系不足、少子化家庭结构密切相关;城市化进程中,随子女迁城的老人因环境陌生导致就医困难加剧;医院数字化和诊疗精细化更增加了操作门槛;而医疗资源集中导致大医院就诊流程繁杂,加上检查项目众多、院内引导机制缺失,进一步推高了自主就医的难度。

这些矛盾交织成老年群体的就医痛点,也让陪诊服务从市场自发行为走向制度探索。

陪诊服务,即由专业人员陪同患者就诊,提供从预约挂号到取药的全流程助医支持。与普通家属陪伴不同,提供这项服务的陪诊师更擅长高效衔接就诊环节——他们能快速完成挂号、缴费、取报告等事务性工作,用专业术语与医生精准沟通病情,甚至为老人整理清晰的用药提醒。

上世纪90年代,美国就推出了“患者导航”计划,专门帮助特殊群体跨越就医障碍。国内的探索则充满波折,2006年扬州曾出现退休医生陪诊,但因争议很快停摆,直到2015年后互联网打破地域限制,保险平台引入服务,再到疫情后老龄化加剧,行业才真正迎来发展期。数据显示,2014年以来我国累计注册1048家陪诊相关企业和机构,其中超七成为2022年以来注册。

据相关行业研究咨询机构统计,2023年我国陪诊服务人次达434.3万,较2022年增长20%,折射出社会需求的井喷式增长。

上海的陪诊服务探索早有铺垫。2023年上海出台政策鼓励关注特殊困难老人的需求,要求各区为特殊困难老人提供居家安全、精神慰藉及其他个性化服务,帮助解决老年人居家养老的实际困难。随后,部分街镇积极响应,有的推出含助医服务的居家颐养计划,有的则将陪诊纳入居家养老服务菜单。

与此同时,上海开放大学与市养老服务行业协会启动“养老服务陪诊师”免费公益培训,针对社区综合为老服务中心等养老服务机构的工作人员,开展涵盖诊前、诊中、诊后全流程的课程培训。参训学院培训考核合格后,获得由上海市养老服务和老龄产业协会颁发的“上海养老服务陪诊师”证书。这是陪诊服务向“职业体系”的初步转型。

2025年年初,上海经过上述探索后公布《老年人助医陪诊服务试点方案》,开始探索进入老年人陪诊服务的制度化阶段。上海的9个试点区将围绕三大方向展开实践:一是明确服务的基础方向,涵盖陪诊全流程服务内容并推进陪诊人员的专业化培训;二是构建管理的机制方向,涉及收费标准制定及特殊群体保障等;三是强化服务的保障方向,包括信息化平台建设、志愿者互助体系构建及行业标准化推进。

这一探索的背后,是城市对社会保障逻辑的深刻思考。过去,社会保障主要聚焦“看病贵”的费用问题;如今,上海将重心转向解决“看病难”的服务短板,从保障基本生存需求,升级为守护老年人的就医尊严。陪诊服务看似微小,却承载着城市对民生细节的深度关怀。

正如米莉所说,陪诊服务重构了医疗资源的公共性实现方式,虽然只是一个小切口,但却能看出社会的文明程度。

当一座城市开始思考如何让老人在就医时少一些奔波、多一份体面,本质上是在将“尊严就医”的理念注入社会保障体系。这种服务的价值已超越表面的流程协助——它通过整合医疗资源、养老服务和社区力量,推动城市治理向更精细的方向迈进;以适老友好的城市形象,为吸引人才增添温度砝码;更在培育银发经济的过程中,悄然进一步提升着城市的竞争力。

事实上,由于较早出现人口老龄化的问题,上海在老年人口保障上有着各种探索。自2009年起在黄浦、长宁等区启动“老年友好城市”试点,通过细化社区适老设施标准、整合养老资源,较早构建了“机构—社区—居家”三位一体的养老服务网络。如今,上海还在意定监护制度、康复辅具租赁服务模式等方面持续探索,同时试点“时间银行”互助养老模式,让低龄老人服务高龄老人积累的时间可折算为未来养老服务。

“人民对美好生活的追求,催生许多更细分的老年照护需求,民政部门就是要不断回应这些需求,努力让生活在这座城市的老年人生活幸福、健康长寿。”上海市民政局局长蒋蕊此前受访时说。

养老是社会的共答题

张枫至今仍记得手忙脚乱的那一天。母亲身体不适,他在外地无法及时赶回,只好在社交平台上匆忙找了个陪诊人员。等事情告一段落,他才知道,上海一些区已经能在政务小程序“随申办”上预约陪诊服务。虽然平台价格比私下联系的略高,但明码标价,还能看到陪诊师的资质信息,甚至能通过手机同步关注到母亲的就诊动态。这让他不禁感慨:原来现在城市服务已经进步到这个程度了。

如今,杨浦、松江等区已搭建起线上陪诊平台。以杨浦区为例,市民只需打开“随申办”杨浦旗舰店的“养老E顾问”专区,就能完成陪诊预约、查看服务评价。这些便捷服务的背后,是资源整合的深度实践。

杨浦区联合上海市养老服务行业协会等10家单位成立陪诊服务联盟,去年7月发布《陪诊师从业指南》等两项团体标准,将市场服务、医疗资源、技能培训串联成完整链条。在人员培养上,该区与上海开放大学、养老行业协会合作开展培训。

这正是上海助老陪诊服务的特色所在——通过“政策兜底+社会协同”模式,政府将陪诊纳入补贴范围,为困难老人和特殊群体提供兜底保障;同时整合学校、企业、养老机构等多方资源,引导志愿者参与服务培训。多方力量协同发力,为破解老年人就医难题探索出一条新路径。

以杨浦区陪诊服务平台为例,面向老年群体的“长者陪诊”按服务时长阶梯定价:2小时168元、3小时238元、4小时298元,此外还提供代办问诊、代买药、取报告、助行等延伸服务。平台服务范围不仅覆盖老年群体,也为孕妇、白领等人群开设专项陪诊,异地就医需求同样纳入服务体系,每项服务均根据内容和时长明码标价。然而,这样的定价体系也引发过争议——此前媒体报道中有不少老人反映,标准化服务费用对部分退休群体而言仍显偏高,如何平衡服务质量与普惠性,成为亟待解决的矛盾点。

因此,上海正在探索“保基本,广覆盖”的多元资金模式:将专业陪诊服务纳入养老服务补贴,为低保、低收入等困难老人兜底;鼓励试点区、街镇通过购买服务,为80岁以上的高龄、独居老人提供低偿普惠服务;同时引导社会公益慈善资源参与资助。

其实,早在上海市政协十四届二次会议上,钱菊英、周锋等多名上海市政协委员递交了一份《关于规范陪诊服务,健全就医保障体系的提案》,其中就探讨了“将部分陪诊服务纳入基本医保”的可行性,建议通过“基本医保+商业保险+自费”的组合支付模式,既满足市场需求,又推动医疗保险向健康保障转型。

对此,上海市卫健委回复称,基本医保因制度定位暂不覆盖陪护费等生活服务,但商业保险已形成补充——多家机构在重疾险、医疗险中嵌入陪诊增值服务,消费者可直接购买相关权益。这一回复揭示了当前政策框架下的现实选择:在基本医保“保基本”的前提下,通过市场机制激活多元供给。

2024年,在行业研讨会上宝山区吴淞中心医院门诊办公室主任王萍也提到,当前院内陪诊需求呈现显著增长态势,覆盖全院多个临床科室。需求主体主要为两类人群:一是因子女工作繁忙而缺乏陪同的老年患者,二是有特殊服务需求的VIP患者。目前医院尚未建立专业化陪诊服务体系,相关工作主要由志愿者、居委会工作人员承担,服务内容以代配药等基础事项为主。

谈及医院暂未独立招聘陪诊人员的原因,王萍认为主要受制于人力成本压力,公立医院在经费预算上存在现实困难。她同时提出可行性思路:可参照医院保安、护工的管理模式,通过与专业的第三方机构合作购买陪诊服务。此外建议引入基本医保与商业保险协同机制,若能合理设定保费标准,将更有利于该模式的推广实施。

长期关注陪诊行业的北京中医药大学卫生健康法学教授、博士生导师邓勇认为,这一举措有助于推动陪诊行业规范化,促使行业建立更完善的服务标准和质量监管体系。同时,提高服务的可及性和普惠性,让更多老年人受益,扩大陪诊服务的市场需求,吸引更多资源投入行业,促进其健康可持续发展。

放眼国际,美、日、韩三国在陪诊服务领域的探索同样值得借鉴。美国通过《患者导航员推广和慢性病法案》,以政府资金支持“患者导航员”项目,服务范围从医院延伸至社区,覆盖慢性病管理全流程;日本将部分基础陪诊纳入医保,养老企业如Duskin推出分级护理体系,培养“护理大师”提供全天候、个性化服务;韩国首尔针对独居青年、独居老人、离异家庭等“一人户”家庭,推出援助政策,集中投资预计超过5.5万亿韩元,2021年11月启动安心就医服务,“一人户”家庭可通过电话预约医疗服务,并提供代挂号、缴费、办理住院或出院手续、取药等多项服务。

情感劳动提供者

破解“看病难”,关键在人,陪诊行业也不例外。在上海开放大学与市养老服务行业协会联合开展的“养老服务陪诊师”培训中,课程内容早已超出简单的陪同范畴。除了基础的陪诊流程教学,还涵盖医疗机构信息查询、医保常识、老年人心理护理、医患沟通技巧,甚至包括陪诊服务规范与法律责任等专业知识。

上海开放大学非学历教育部相关负责人此前接受媒体采访时也表示,陪诊师的培训内容涉及到跨学科跨领域的专业技能,不仅需要熟悉陪诊服务基本流程、医疗就诊流程及注意事项,还要懂得老年人心理护理及陪诊沟通,并兼顾职业道德与职业技能。只有长期从事为老服务岗位的人员,才能够通过短期培训胜任陪诊师这一工作。

这样的专业要求,反映了上海近年来在陪诊师队伍建设上的探索。一方面,通过公益培训为社区输送专业人才,课程设计注重理论与实践结合,从诊前预约挂号,到诊中协助沟通,再到诊后用药指导,形成完整的教学体系。另一方面,各区积极搭建平台,比如杨浦区成立陪诊服务联盟,并结合陪诊服务平台对陪诊师进行统一管理,确保服务质量。这些努力,正在推动陪诊从零散的临时工作,逐步走向职业化、专业化。

市场的反馈印证了这种专业化趋势的必要性。《陪诊服务发展研究报告(2025)》显示,社区居民对陪诊师的能力要求越来越高。

从本质上来讲,陪诊师的工作属于“情感劳动”。他们既是就医信息的整理评估者,也是患者就医的代理人、医患之间的协调者。劳动过程中,患者的主体性表达与陪诊师的自主性呈现有机结合,充满多层表演、情感互动和关系建构。很多陪诊师会通过亲属性的话语、复合化的形象塑造来建立与客户的关系,但同时也会遵循行业禁忌,比如不打听客户隐私、不干涉客户决策,保持一种亲密有间的社会关系。

在米莉看来,在传统家庭养老模式向社会化养老转型的过程中,它用专业化服务替代了道德绑架——当双职工子女不再因无法陪诊而背负“不孝”的心理压力,当独居老人能通过规范服务获得就医支持,这种“责任外包”机制实际上化解了亲情与道德的博弈困境。更重要的是,它让弱势群体的就医尊严被看见——陪诊师不仅是流程协助者,更是情感陪伴者,通过语言转化、情绪疏导等“情感劳动”,将“医者仁心”的内涵从身体治疗延伸至心灵照护。

“这位陪诊师做事细心,比我想象的好很多,有她陪着我妈,我在外地也能踏实些。”张枫说,因为工作走不开,他无奈之下给母亲请了陪诊师。就诊当天,他一直悬着心,时不时就打开手机查看消息。很快,他的手机里陆续收到新动态:陪诊师发来母亲到达医院的照片,告知检查排队情况,还仔细转述医生诊断内容。看到陪诊师把流程安排妥当,偶尔还发来母亲状态不错的照片,张枫心里的担忧才慢慢消散。

这种跨越地域的需求共性,在不同城市的从业者身上得到了印证。朱恒宇就是众多陪诊师中的一员。三年前,她陪着生病的丈夫从老家四川达州来到广州,在医院跑上跑下的日子里,渐渐摸清了看病的门道。一开始在病友群帮人跑腿代问诊,后来干脆把这当成了兼职工作。

朱恒宇在服务前,会提前准备好患者的材料,还会帮忙规划异地就医的食宿交通,协调挂号对口医生,减少患者前期的等待时间,提高就医效率。有一次,她遇到一个从外地来的患者,只带着一叠零散的检查单。朱恒宇花了三个晚上梳理病史资料,提前预约病理会诊,硬是把原本需要两周的就医流程压缩到了三天。“很多人不了解要准备哪些材料,到医院才发现连第一步都走不通。”她感慨道。

陪诊看起来是跑腿的体力活,实则更需要“走心”。在朱恒宇看来,陪诊不是简单的体力活,除了解决实际问题,陪诊师还是患者情绪上的依靠,在焦虑无助时,陪伴本身就有着不可替代的价值。

值得注意的是,这种价值,正在突破传统认知,被更多元的人群所需要。

起初找陪诊纯粹是杨晓的无奈之举,她做无痛胃肠镜检查必须有人陪同,这段经历让她真切体会到陪诊师的重要价值。当时她独自在外实习,身边除了同事几乎没有熟人,而同事很难为了陪她看病请半天假。小杨在小红书上偶然发现陪诊师这个职业,最终选择了一位陪诊师。

对于这位陪诊师,杨晓的期待很实在:一方面希望对方了解医院的就诊流程,能带着自己少走弯路,顺利完成挂号、检查等一系列操作;另一方面,也盼着陪诊师能在检查结束后,用专业知识帮自己讲解检查报告,让自己能清楚了解身体状况,不至于对着报告一头雾水。

然而,体验过后的杨晓却陷入矛盾。她认可陪诊师带来的便利,却不愿推荐给家人。这种纠结的背后,是陪诊行业目前面临的现实困境:私人从业者水平参差不齐,服务价格差异巨大,标准化服务仅仅在一些城市开始了探索,且归根到底难以替代亲人陪伴的温度。

行业成长迷局

陪诊服务在现代就医场景中逐渐成为特殊群体的 “刚需”,以上海为代表的地区已开启规范化探索,但在全国范围内,这个行业仍处于发展初期,暴露出诸多成长阵痛。

如今,朱恒宇日常除了陪护自己的家人,主要的工作就是在小红书上发布服务信息,并亲自陪伴患者穿梭在医院。咨询量就像天气,时晴时雨——多的时候一天能收到十来个问询,少的时候只有两三个,数量总不那么稳定,但她依旧认真回复每一条消息,期待能帮到需要陪伴就医的人。

作为一名个人陪诊师,朱恒宇凭借着耐心和细心,收获了不少患者的好评。但这位颇受认可的陪诊师也坦言,自己从未接受过系统培训,经验不仅来自一次次陪诊实践,更源于长期陪护家人的经历。在照顾患病亲人的过程中,她熟悉了医院的每个角落,也深谙患者和家属的焦虑与无助,这些都成为她从事陪诊工作的重要积累。在全国范围内,像小朱这样单打独斗的个人陪诊师不在少数,他们凭借个体的善意温暖患者,却也折射出行业底层的结构性问题。

从整体市场供需来看,陪诊服务需求旺盛,供给端却并不规范。从业者身份多元,既有医疗相关工作者、服务行业从业者、医药领域人员,也有部分来自教育、销售等行业。不少人因具备医疗知识、资源对接能力或服务经验而转向陪诊领域,但原职业背景的差异导致服务水平参差不齐。

其中,有一类从业者是从医药代表转行,他们凭借药品和医疗资源信息占据一定优势地位。一位业内人士直言:“新入行的陪诊师如果单打独斗,几乎没有竞争力。”新人往往只能加入私人团队或陪诊公司,依靠平台派单,但平台派单量极不稳定,收入难以保障,甚至出现“新人靠平台一周能有一单陪诊都不错了,还不如去送外卖”的情况。

认知偏差进一步扰乱了市场秩序。许多人通过广告甚至医院黄牛了解陪诊服务,对“走绿通”“挂专家号”"的过度关注,反而给了黄牛可乘之机。当患者把陪诊需求简单等同于“找关系”,真正规范的服务反而被边缘化。

深入行业内部,资质认定的混乱是一大隐患。目前,陪诊师相关的技能证书种类繁多,令人眼花缭乱。不少培训机构大力推荐的是人力资源社会保障部社会保障能力建设中心颁发的医疗陪诊顾问证书,以及中医药教育协会颁发的陪诊师证书,称这些证书“全国通用,含金量极高”。

某培训机构负责人介绍:“我们的课程是线上学习、线上考试,学员需解锁每个章节,完成课后练习,全部章节解锁完,才能进入模拟练习,不断刷题。课程学习进度需要完成100%,才能参加考试,最后拿到的是培训证书。现在陪诊还没有职业等级证书。”

然而,培训并非陪诊师从业的“必选项”。此前有媒体调查发现,大多数机构在审核陪诊师入驻条件时,并不强制要求提交陪诊服务相关证书,少数机构也只是表示“有证书优先”。河南相关部门的相关调查就指出,省内陪诊师队伍中具备医疗背景的专业人士较少,难以提供专业化的咨询服务。

实际上,在职业认定方面,陪诊师尚未获得官方正式认可,在《中华人民共和国职业分类大典(2022年版)》中并无相关名目。尽管此前发布的新职业中,“社群健康助理员”榜上有名。“为患者提供预约挂号、缴费、取药、办理住院手续等协助服务”就是其职责之一,但二者仍存在差异。不过,浙江、上海和成都等地已经开始积极探索陪诊服务人员的认证工作,为行业的规范发展积累经验。

法律层面的空白,更是给行业发展带来了巨大风险。虽然行业内已达成陪诊师不得从事诊断治疗的共识,但对于陪诊师“能做什么”“”不能做什么”,仍缺乏明确且统一的规范。

邓勇指出,目前陪诊服务主体多元,导致服务标准不统一,个人与小型机构专业能力不足、管理漏洞频出,进而引发恶性竞争,扰乱市场秩序。部分陪诊师选择将服务重心聚焦于诊疗流程,刻意避免介入诊疗内容。但这种模式依然有潜在的风险。邓勇分析道:“可能存在对患者病情变化判断不足,无法及时提供有效帮助的情况;若陪诊师对诊疗流程不熟悉或操作不当,也可能影响患者就医;此外,在遇到突发医疗状况时,可能因缺乏专业知识而应对不力。”

要打破当前的困局,构建完善的制度框架迫在眉睫。有专家建议,国家应尽快建立职业资格认证体系,明确从业标准;推动建设统一的陪诊服务平台,整合各方资源,便于患者选择和监管。行业协会需发挥积极作用,推动制定收费参考标准和服务质量评估体系,引导行业有序竞争。企业要加强内部管理,提高服务的专业化水平,积极与医院、社区等合作,实现资源共享。

上海正在进行的系统化探索,或许能提供一种思路。但米莉也提醒,陪诊服务的特殊性在于其对信任关系的依赖,全国统一平台可能难以满足各地的差异化需求,或许更适合在城市或区域范围内,结合本地医疗资源和人文特点逐步推进。在刚需与乱象的博弈中,陪诊行业的规范化发展,既需要顶层设计的智慧,也离不开脚踏实地的实践。

征税3%的是啥?个人养老金与养老金可不一样|说政经事

养老金和个人养老金可不是一回事。

据她观察,年收入三五十万的客户是购买个人养老金的中坚力量。

在最近的公共政策讨论中,“个人养老金”来到了舞台中央。

它的起因是人力资源和社会保障部在官方微信号“人社日课”中回复了网友关于个人养老金如何纳税的问题。

答案是:“个人养老金领取时,按照领取额的3%缴纳个人所得税,不区分本金和投资收益。”

这个税率高吗?个人养老金还值不值得买呢?

养老金和个人养老金不一样

首先要明确,养老金和个人养老金可不是一回事。

人们常说,养老金有“三大支柱”:第一支柱,是基本养老保险,由政府主导;第二支柱,是企业/职业年金,由单位与个人共担;第三支柱,就是个人养老金。

一般所说的养老金,指国家基本养老保险,是参保的城镇职工和城乡居民达到法定退休年龄并满足缴费年限等条件后,能按月领取的养老钱。

个人养老金,则是个人自愿在特定账户里存一笔钱,以每

“向自己人开刀”的《以法之名》:“不仅仅是尺度的问题”

“剧本的第一、第二稿都是我否的。检察侦查题材挺难写的,很多编剧不了解检察工作,很容易做成刑侦剧的风格。”

它比一般的检察剧需要考量得更多。这不仅仅是尺度的问题,同时还要考虑“自己人”情感上的接受程度,还有办案中涉及保密的问题。

2025年6月24日上午,最高人民检察院举行了一场《以法之名》的看片会——这一首部以检察侦查为主题的电视剧计划在当晚播出。现场,最高检副检察长苗生明表示,最高检已于近日挂牌成立检察侦查厅,这被认为是严惩司法腐败的信号。

2018年,在国家监察体制改革背景下,原先属于检察机关的反贪局、反渎职局等部门的人员和职能,全部转隶至新成立的国家监察机关。同时,刑事诉讼法于当年修改后,保留了检察机关的侦查职能。在这种情况下,检察侦查权要怎么用,需要重新定位。

《以法之名》出品方之一是最高检影视中心。《人民的名义》《巡回检察组》《第二十条》等热门影视剧背后都有该中心身影。如何用电视剧向公众解释检察职能?怎么平衡好专业性与通俗性?针对这些问题,南方周末对话最高检影视中心副主任、《以法之名》总制片人彭诚。

方向作过调整

南方周末:《以法之名》中的“万海黑社会性质组织犯罪案”原型参考吗

彭诚:有。像《第二十条》一样,原型并不是单一的一件正当防卫案,而是全国关于正当防卫案件的综合。“万海”案也同样,是对全国检察机关办理的检察侦查案件的综合取材。

确定剧本的主题后,最高检负责检察侦查工作的五厅帮我们捋了一下,给到三四个可供参考的检察侦查案件。其中有,湖北省检察院立案侦查的恩施土家族苗族自治州原副州长、州公安局原局长田某徇私枉法案;辽宁省本溪市检察机关办理的陶某等人涉嫌严重刑事犯罪案背后相关的职务犯罪案件;湖南省衡阳市检察机关一网打尽108起民事案件背后的黑恶势力和保护伞。

南方周末:这次为什么决定要做检察侦查主题的电视剧?

彭诚:最早是拍摄过《破冰行动》的傅东育导演来找我合作,问我有什么可以提供的剧本方向。我当时说,目前市面上已播出的扫黑除恶

大学生疑被校外人士殴打,校园开放的“锅”?丨议教

如果因一起在校学生与校外人员的冲突事件,就对校外人员进校园进行严格的管理,如要预约、查看身份证件等,这将是开放校园的倒退。

现在,大学校园的开放水平还处于较低层次,虽然国家有关部门一再要求大学的图书馆、体育场馆要向社会开放,但社区居民要到大学图书馆借阅图书,到阅览室看书,以及使用大学体育场馆,还存在现实障碍。

2025年7月1日,有网友发文称,6月30日晚,一上海交通大学学生在校内体育场跑步时被足球砸中头部,发现踢球者为校外两名小孩。该学生与踢球小孩的家长发生言语冲突后因身体不适倒地,小孩家长持续脚踹对方。最后该学生被救护车送往医院治疗。随即,“上海交大学生疑被校外人士殴打”登上微博热搜。

7月2日凌晨,上海交通大学保卫处账号平安交大发布声明称:关于我校学生6月30日晚在闵行校区南区体育场训练期间与校外人员发生冲突事件,学校高度重视,已成立工作专班,与公安部门协同联动,积极配合依法调查处置。学校坚决保护学生人身安全,坚决维护学生合法权益。声明还称,将进一步加强校园安全管理,强化校外来访人员校园文明行为管理和引导,切实维护学校正常教学秩序和安全稳定。

这起事件之所以上热搜、引起关注,不只是因为发生在名校内,更因为涉及校园开放这个争议话题。有网友发帖称,“这就是校园开放的后果”,还有网友担心,在校学生与校外人员发生冲突,会导致好不容易开放的校园又进一步关

起诉推销来电

民法典写明:“除法律另有规定或者权利人明确同意外,任何组织或者个人不得以电话、短信、即时通讯工具、电子邮件、传单等方式侵扰他人的私人生活安宁。”

“只有这件事情能增加他们的麻烦,他们再打推销电话的时候,可能就会考虑是否适当了。”

这类案子,必须得有一个很强的证据能证明:推销电话确实是被告打来的。

接到推销电话,你会怎么办?

无奈挂断,可能是大部分人的选择;或者放任铃声响着,以拒接来对抗;有的人可能会与业务员较个劲,发泄一下不满,常见的最激烈的反应不过如此。

有人却选择了向法院起诉。南方周末记者找到了3位有此行动的人。

他们也不是一开始就决定这么做的。

孙千和下定决心起诉中国移动通信集团山东有限公司滨州分公司(下文简称“移动滨州分公司”),是因为,在她明确给官方客服打电话强调“不要再打了,不接受任何推销”,甚至表明自己是律师,如果再打,就法院见后,推销依然没有停止。

上海的胡先生是在已经拒绝了银行的推销电话,却仍收到推销短信后,决定提起民事诉讼,“只有这件事情能增加他们的麻烦,增加他们的成本,他们再打推销电话的时候,可能就会考虑是否适当了”。

另一位当事人曹康在山西大剧院买票看了一场演出之后,频繁收到推销短信。对方却不承认发了短信,“这种摆明了不认账的态度,就得和他们较较真”。

起诉之后,有人选择接受调解,有人用了一年,拿到了胜诉的判决。回顾维权经历,三位受访者都提到了一条出自民法典的法律依据。

“除法律另有规定或者权利人明确同意外,任何组织或者个人不得以电话、短信、即时通讯工具、电子邮件、传单等方式侵扰他人的私人生活安宁。”

拒收无效,投诉未果

5月底,曹康胜诉了。法院没有支持他提出的精神损害赔偿,但判定几个被告要停止发送宣传短信,并进行书面道歉。

事情始于2023 年7月,他买了一张山西大剧院的演出门票。10月,开始收到以【山西大剧院】为抬头的推销短信。

一开始曹康没在意。他提供的短信截图显示,推销短信从2023年发到2024年,几乎每个月都有一条。2024年4月,他按照短信内容提到的“拒收请回复R”,选择了退订。但退订之后,短信还在发,他联系了山西大剧院。

“一般对方也就承诺不再发了,但他们直接不承认,说不是他们发的。”

曹康说,短信内容的开头都是山西大剧院的名字,还附带着名为“山西大剧院票务管家”公众号的购票链接。该公众号实名认证为:山西保利大剧院管理有限公司。他也向剧院的官方电话核实过,这就是剧院自己的公众号。

曹康报过警,查了相关法律条文后发现,侵犯公民个人信息,的确是刑法列明的犯罪行为,但是得达到一定数量,他这只是个案。之后,他决定试试起诉。

孙千和的故事则开始于2020年。年初,她接到的推销话费套餐升级的电话越来越多。

她告诉南方周末记者,每次,她都会告诉对方“不要再打了”。但隔几天又会有一个不同的号码

How Republicans Re-engineered the Tax Code

The product of years of Republican effort, the American tax code now blends traditional supply-side economics with President Trump’s populist 2024 campaign promises.

Even as President Trump has pointed the Republican party’s tax agenda in a more populist direction, the new law is in many ways the apotheosis of a traditionally conservative, supply-side philosophy.
