Red Cross retrieves body of dead hostage in Gaza, Israel says

BBC 'Breaking' graphicBBC

Israel's military says the Red Cross has retrieved a coffin of a deceased hostage in the southern Gaza Strip and is now "on the way to IDF [Israel Defence Forces] troops" in the territory.

Posting on X, the IDF urged the public to "act with sensitivity and wait for the official identification, which will first be provided to the families".

It also stressed that Hamas was required to "return all the deceased hostages" in accordance with a Gaza ceasefire agreement.

This follows an earlier statement from Hamas that it would hand over the body of an Israeli hostage to the Red Cross.

Hamas has returned the bodies of nine of the 28 dead hostages in Gaza, and freed all 20 living hostages.

Israel has freed 250 Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails and 1,718 detainees from Gaza as part of the US-brokered ceasefire deal.

Customers sue over 'embarrassing' squeaky On Cloud shoes

Athletic shoe company On is facing a lawsuit from customers who claim that its popular sneakers make a "noisy and embarrassing squeak".

The "CloudTec" sneakers typically cost around $200 (£150) and have holes in the sole designed to make users feel like they are "running on clouds". Instead, the lawsuit says, they cause issues in daily life - especially for nurses who wear them all day.

"No reasonable consumer would purchase Defendant's shoes - or pay as much for them as they did - knowing each step creates an audible and noticeable squeak," the customers allege.

The company, which did not immediately respond to a BBC enquiry, has declined to comment on the allegations.

The class action lawsuit was filed on October 9 in US District Court in Oregon.

The customers say that multiple On sneaker styles are unwearable without "significant DIY modifications". They accused the company of "deceptive marketing".

The plaintiffs, who claim they were unable to return the shoes after complaining about the noise, are seeking refunds and other damages.

The Switzerland-based sneaker company could have "fixed the design, and/or offered to fix the shoes or [given] consumers their money back but did none of those things", the complaint alleges, citing the Cloudmonster and Cloudrunner models, among others.

One customer claimed in the complaint that she was "no longer able to use her shoes as intended due to the embarrassment and annoyance".

The plaintiffs in their complaint reference social media posts, on TikTok and Reddit, from other frustrated customers who have suggested at-home remedies for the noise - including applying coconut oil to the soles of the shoes.

On, which is backed by the tennis player Roger Federer, reported better-than-expected earnings in August. Its quarterly revenue was boosted by direct-to-consumer sales.

Earlier this year, the company said sales of its Cloudmonster and Cloudsurfer sneaker models contributed "significantly" to its growth.

Who is Prince Andrew? The royal who has given up his titles

Prince Andrew will no longer use his royal titles, including the Duke of York, after discussions with his brother, King Charles III.

The prince had already returned military titles and royal patronages in 2022, and stopped using the title His Royal Highness in an official capacity, after he was accused of sexual abuse in a civil case in the US.

He later settled the case brought against him by Virginia Giuffre, a victim of sex trafficking and abuse by Jeffrey Epstein, who alleged the prince sexually abused her when she was under the age of 18 - something the prince has consistently denied.

The prince's latest announcement came days before the posthumous memoir of Ms Giuffre was due for release - almost six months after she took her own life in April 2025.

Who is Prince Andrew?

The 65-year-old prince is the third child of the late Queen Elizabeth II and he is eighth in line to the throne.

His elder siblings are his brother King Charles and his sister Anne, the Princess Royal.

He is divorced from Sarah Ferguson - who lost her title as Duchess of York when the prince stopped using his own royal title - with whom he has two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

What was Prince Andrew accused of?

The Duke of York was accused of sexual abuse in a civil case in the US.

In court documents, Virginia Giuffre said she was the victim of sex trafficking and abuse by Jeffrey Epstein from the age of 16.

Part of her abuse involved being lent out to other powerful men - including Prince Andrew, she alleged.

Ms Giuffre says the prince sexually assaulted her on three occasions when she was under the age of 18.

Prince Andrew has consistently denied all the allegations against him. He said in an interview with BBC Newsnight in 2019 that he had no recollection of ever meeting Ms Giuffre.

On 15 February 2022 a letter filed to the US district court said the duke and Ms Giuffre had reached an out-of-court settlement.

It said the duke - who made no admission of liability - would pay an undisclosed sum to Ms Giuffre.

Where does Prince Andrew get his money from?

It is thought Prince Andrew received an annual sum from the Sovereign Grant - which covers official duties - until 2019, when he stood down as a working Royal.

However, the amount was not made public and it is not known whether he subsequently received money from his late mother the Queen Elizabeth II's - or later his brother King Charles' - private funds.

Royal sources say the King cut off Andrew's funding last year.

In 2007, the prince sold his Sunninghill Park home for £15m - £3m more than the asking price - to Timor Kulibayev, the son-in-law of the then-president of Kazakhstan. The 12-bedroom house near Windsor Castle had been given to the prince as a wedding present from Queen Elizabeth.

He lives in the Royal Lodge in Windsor, a Grade II-listed property, but that's leased from the Crown Estate and is not an asset that could be sold.

There have been repeated calls for Prince Andrew to be removed from the 30-room mansion but he has his own independent lease with the Crown Estate that lasts until 2078. Much of the costs of moving there were front-loaded when he took on the property in 2003 and there is little obvious incentive for Andrew to leave now.

Prince Andrew seems to have cultivated his own independent sources of funding since leaving public life, including business connections with China, the Gulf States and a recently curtailed project with a Dutch start-up company. He has proved financially resilient, despite what must be significant costs in paying for his own security.

What titles has Prince Andrew given up?

Prince Andrew will remain a prince as it is a title from his birth, as the son of the monarch, with the titles he has since lost only given to him later in life.

He will no longer be called the Duke of York, which he was given when he got married in 1986, and has given up membership of the Order of the Garter.

Additionally, Prince Andrew is also giving up the titles of Earl of Inverness and Baron of Killyleagh.

In 2022 it was announced he would no longer use his title of His Royal Highness, or HRH, in any official capacity - though like Harry and Meghan, he would still retain the title privately.

The duke had a 22-year career in the Royal Navy, and served as a helicopter pilot during the 1982 Falklands War. He also commanded the mine countermeasures vessel HMS Cottesmore.

His military appointments were suspended after he stepped back from public duties in 2019.

He also lost a series of UK military titles including colonel of the Grenadier Guards, honorary air commodore of RAF Lossiemouth and colonel-in-chief of the Royal Irish Regiment.

What patronages were returned?

The job of a royal patron is to bring publicity to a cause or service.

The prince used to be a patron to about 200 charities and organisations.

But after the controversial BBC interview in 2019, in which he denied allegations that he had sex with Ms Giuffre, many chose to cut ties with him. They included the Outward Bound Trust, English National Ballet, Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and London Metropolitan University.

Prince Andrew had still been left with dozens of other patronages - including being a patron or member of prestigious golf clubs, schools and cultural trusts.

But these were later returned to his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, and were to be redistributed to other members of the Royal Family.

What other roles has Prince Andrew had?

After retiring from the Navy, Prince Andrew served as the UK's special representative for trade and investment for 10 years.

But he gave up the title after he was criticised over his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, who was sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2008 for soliciting a minor for prostitution.

He had also attracted criticism for combining business with pleasure on his overseas trips, and some newspapers gave him the nickname "Airmiles Andy".

The prince's judgement was also questioned for holding meetings with former Libyan leader Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's son Saif, and for entertaining the son-in-law of Tunisia's ousted president Zine El Abidine Ben Ali at Buckingham Palace.

And in November 2010, a secret cable published on Wikileaks revealed a US ambassador wrote that he spoke "cockily" during an official engagement, leading a discussion that "verged on the rude".

From 2011 to 2019, Prince Andrew was a working Royal.

One focus was Pitch@Palace - an initiative he started to help entrepreneurs seeking investment.

In 2020 it removed Prince Andrew's name from its website, after prominent supporters distanced themselves amid revelations about his friendship with Epstein.

Questions were raised about his judgement after it was alleged a "close confidant" was a Chinese spy.

The prince said he had "ceased all contact" with the businessman after being advised to do so by the government.

纽约法官裁定 法巴黎银行助苏丹种族灭绝

17/10/2025 - 22:47

审判于9月9日在八名陪审员的陪审下开始,由三名苏丹公民提起——两男一女,两人均无亲属关系,现已成为美国公民。他们描述了自己被苏丹士兵和由喀土穆部署和装备的金戈威德民兵监禁、折磨、殴打、用香烟烫伤和用刀砍伤的经历,他们的财产也被盗窃或毁坏。

41岁的恩特萨尔·奥斯曼·卡舍尔说道:“我已经没有亲人了”。她亲眼目睹了一些亲人的死亡,以及在监禁期间,她每天被不同的男人强奸数次。

阿布尔加西姆·苏莱曼·阿德巴拉(Abulgasim Suleman Adballa)出生于1976年,曾是一名农民和牧民;图尔朱曼·拉马丹·图尔朱曼(Turjuman Ramadan Turjuman)出生于1959年,在逃亡前曾是一名法官,后来成为一名人权律师。

法国巴黎银行的律师丹尼·詹姆斯在庭审开始时表示:“银行的行为与三名原告的遭遇完全没有关联”。

周四上午,原告在庭上进行了结案陈词,随后法官阿尔文·赫勒斯坦指示,陪审团开始审议。原告律师戴维·迪切洛周四表示:“这起非常重要的案件揭露了一个秘密:一家名为法国巴黎银行的国际银行非法救助、保护、助长并支持了一位独裁者的经济”。

他继续说道,该银行“支持种族清洗,并抹杀了原告的生命”。法国巴黎银行并非造成这种情况的唯一原因,但“是原因之一”。

这家法国银行从20世纪90年代末到2009年活跃于苏丹,作为商业(进出口)合同的一部分,提供信用证。如果买方违约(据该银行称,这种情况从未发生过),卖方将获得保证,收回款项。

原告认为,该银行允许苏丹政权进行贸易并由此获取数十亿美元的外汇,助长了该政权对部分民众的暴力行为。

但辩方认为,原告尚未证明其责任。

这家法国集团的律师巴里·伯克周四声称,如果法国巴黎银行没有进入苏丹,原告也会遭受同样的苦难,因为苏丹即使没有该银行也会出售石油。这位律师辩称,即使没有石油和法国巴黎银行,苏丹政权也会侵犯人权。

伯克先生详细列举了自1956年苏丹独立至今的国内冲突,并佐证了时间顺序。他强调,涉案交易已获得欧洲授权,且国际货币基金组织(IMF)等国际机构与苏丹有合作。

菲利普·梅亚尔(Philippe Maillard)是该集团现任首席运营官,同时也是2006年至2010年期间能源、大宗商品、出口和项目(ECEP)业务的全球负责人。他在庭审中表示,该银行从未向苏丹提供过贷款。

据他介绍,这些交易涉及农产品、原材料和石油,但不包括武器,因为法国巴黎银行的道德准则中规定了“涵盖所有国家的禁令”。

能源、大宗商品、出口和项目(ECEP)业务的负责人为苏丹担保的货物总额在其整个活动期间达60亿美元。

据联合国统计,2002年至2008年间,达尔富尔(苏丹西部)战争造成30万人死亡,近250万人流离失所。奥马尔·巴希尔曾铁腕统治苏丹三十年,于2019年被罢免,并因种族灭绝、战争罪和危害人类罪被国际刑事法院通缉。

此次审判的一个不同寻常之处在于,由于苏丹是日内瓦的“东非合作论坛”(ECEP)成员国,因此他是根据瑞士法律受审的。

然而,瑞士驻美国大使于9月2日致函赫勒斯坦法官,称涉嫌交易“在瑞士合法”。

因此,他指控称,此次审判“质疑了瑞士的主权”,并援引了该案其他“违反”瑞士关于受害者责任和赔偿的立法的内容。

2014年,法国巴黎银行向美国法院承认,在2002年至2012年期间,它曾与苏丹、伊朗和古巴(三个受到美国制裁的国家)进行过美元交易。它被勒令支付66亿欧元(89亿美元)。

削减航运排放努力受挫

17/10/2025 - 22:52

法新社17日报道,在伦敦进行了一个星期的谈判十分不顺利,华盛顿在沙特阿拉伯、俄罗斯和其他产油国的支持下,不惜一切代价试图阻止该计划的通过,甚至威胁对支持该计划的国家实施制裁。

这项雄心勃勃的计划的原则已于今年4月获得批准,旨在通过要求船舶从2028年开始逐步减少排放,到2050年左右实现完全脱碳,从而使污染严重的航运业实现历史性的气候转变。

推迟决议以57票对49票的多数获得通过。具体而言,成员国决定在一年后就此问题举行会议——然而,这并不保证会像定于周五举行的投票那样就该计划的通过进行投票。国际海事组织秘书长阿塞尼奥·多明格斯非常遗憾地表示,“我现在没什么可告诉你的。这种情况并不常见”。该组织的176个成员国传统上以协商一致的方式做出决策。

美国总统特朗普是一位化石燃料支持者,二次掌权以来,在气候变化问题上却出现倒退,尤其是退出了《巴黎协定》。周四,他在其“真相社交网络”上强烈反对该计划。

“美国不会容忍这种以航运税形式出现的全球绿色骗局,也不会以任何方式遵守它,”这位美国总统宣称,他过去曾将气候变化称为历史上“最大的骗局”。

美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥周五在峰会延期后发表评论称:“华盛顿阻止了联合国大幅增加美国消费者的税收,这些税收原本可以用来资助进步的气候项目。”

他称这是特朗普的“巨大胜利”。

美国威胁支持该计划的代表团,包括限制船员签证、征收贸易罚金和增加港口费用。法国交通部长菲利普·塔巴罗在接受法新社采访时谴责了“某些国家”为破坏该协议而采取的“手段”,但他没有具体提到美国。“这发出了一个非常糟糕的信号,”他坚称。

阿塞尼奥·多明格斯在周二峰会开幕式上承认,拟议的体系“并不完美”,但“它提供了一个平衡的基础”。

这项备受争议的计划旨在让船舶对其排放量超过一定阈值的船舶缴纳某种税款,目的是为奖励低排放船舶和支持易受气候变化影响的国家设立一个基金。

这种二氧化碳定价旨在鼓励它们使用温室气体排放较少的燃料气体。

本周,欧盟国家、巴西和中国重申支持采用这一“净零框架”(也称为NZF),太平洋岛国也表达了同样的支持,并在去年4月投了弃权票。

但中国和印度一样,投票支持推迟。塞浦路斯和希腊等许多船只悬挂欧盟旗帜的国家,以及为该行业提供全球最大工人队伍的菲律宾,则投了弃权票。

欧盟委员会发言人周五表示,推迟一年“令人遗憾”,欧盟准备“在适当的时候在国际海事组织的主持下恢复关于该协议的讨论”。

德国交通部发言人告诉法新社:“我们很遗憾(……)错失了一次历史性机遇。但有一点是明确的:我们绝不能放松努力。”

“再拖一年的时间来做决定; “我们没能在两个小时内达成协议,”这位阿根廷代表告诉法新社,阿根廷经济陷入困境,但得到了华盛顿的大量财政支持。

一位不愿透露姓名的小国代表哀叹道“众所周知,美国威胁了所有人。巴西代表在周五的全体会议上谴责了这些做法。

 

法地方法庭判无尸杀妻案嫌犯30年徒刑

17/10/2025 - 22:55

被告的律师亚历山大·马丁(Alexandre Martin)在宣读了判决之后对媒体表示,“我无法理解,为什么我们要在没有尸体、没有犯罪现场、没有证据的情况下,判处一个人”。

杀人犯塞德里克·朱比亚尔(Cédric Jubillar )的案例拖了近五年,被害者-他的妻子的尸体到现在没有下落,这也是嫌犯矢口否认的一个借口。民事诉讼方表示,被告塞德里克·朱比亚尔(Cédric Jubillar )总以为找不到尸体,他就可以逃脱法律制裁。他的母亲惋惜地说,他儿子并没有努力证明自己是无辜的。

被害是坐在被告席上的妻子。2020年12月15日至16日夜间,被应去值夜班的妻子德尔菲娜·朱比拉(Delphine Jubillar)失踪,而且是他丈夫报的警。经过很长时间的调查,德尔菲娜人像在人间蒸发了一样,找不到她的任何踪迹。

2025年9月13日,涉嫌杀了妻子的塞德里克·朱比亚尔(Cédric Jubillar )的大儿子向法庭递交了一封亲笔信。孩子在信中描绘了自己的父亲如何惩罚他,暴打他,罚他。

在这封信中,11岁的孩子还描绘了母亲失踪前一夜家里发生的一切。法官认定他有杀妻的动机。警方了解到,朱比拉夫妇的关系并不幸福。他是一位长期吸食大麻、几乎无业的人士,而德尔菲娜当时与一位在网路上认识的男子交往,两人正在商议离婚。

法官为了此案共传唤65名证人、11名专家,收集的证据资料超过1.6万页。

2025年10月17日对此案宣判之前,,塞德里克·朱比拉尔脸色苍白,眼神阴沉,重申他“对他自己的妻子德尔菲娜绝对没有做任何事”。

在被告获重刑的情况下将上诉。无尸杀妻案还会经历第二次审理。恐怕最难的是要告诉他的两个孩子,你的爸爸是杀人犯。

美禁止中航班飞越俄领空 严重延长航程

17/10/2025 - 22:59

这趟由中国厦门航空运营的航班耗时19小时20分钟,打破了此前保持该纪录的新加坡-纽约航线。这一纪录将于2023年10月打破,标志着全球航空业的一个标志性转折点。

福州与纽约之间的实际距离仅为12500公里,远短于新加坡与美国大都市之间的15300公里。然而,中国航线的飞行时间更长。

造成这一异常的原因是无法飞越俄罗斯领空。厦门航空的飞机被迫选择飞越太平洋的替代航线,而不是更直接的穿越大西洋和欧亚大陆的航线。

纽约旅客飞往福州所花的时间比飞往更远的目的地,例如菲律宾马尼拉(18小时20分钟)或新西兰奥克兰(18小时10分钟)还要长。

除非取消对俄罗斯领空的飞越限制,或者未来几个月其他航空公司开辟新的、更长的航线,否则这一纪录至少可能会保持到2025年。

特朗普政府一个星期前提议,禁止中国航空公司往返美国的航班飞越俄罗斯领空,理由是这将使美国航司处于不利地位。中国外交部回应“建议美方反思自身政策”。

航班不得飞越俄罗斯领空,中国7家航空公司已向美国运输部致函提出申诉,指有关禁令会提高机票票价、延长航程时间,甚至可能影响部分航线。

 

查尔斯三世的弟弟安德鲁放弃王室头衔

17/10/2025 - 23:04

安德鲁王子在一份声明中表示:“在与国王和我的家人讨论后,我们得出结论,针对我的持续指控正在损害女王陛下和(英国)王室的工作。我决定,一如既往地,优先履行我对家庭和国家的义务”。

“我将放弃王室头衔及其赋予的荣誉。”

五年前,迫于丑闻的压力,安德鲁王子已退出公众生活。这位65岁的王子因与美国金融家杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的亲密关系而失去光环。爱泼斯坦于2019年在狱中因性犯罪受审前被发现死亡。

关于他与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦关系的爆料不断浮出水面,尤其是即将出版的一本遗作,书中的部分内容已在媒体上发表。书中,安德鲁王子的主要指控者弗吉尼亚·朱弗雷讲述了她声称自己在17岁时与他发生的恋情。

朱弗雷女士于今年4月自杀,享年41岁,并于2021年对安德鲁王子提起诉讼。

他一直否认性侵指控,并支付了数百万美元以避免在纽约受审。自2019年11月以来,他没有担任任何公职,并于2022年失去了军衔和王室赞助。

然而,安德鲁王子将保留其王子头衔,因为他是2022年去世的英国女王伊丽莎白二世的儿子。

特朗普称美军袭击目标是一艘运毒潜艇

17/10/2025 - 23:07

《路透社》引述内部官员报导,目前尚不清楚这次的攻击是否刻意保留生还者;国防部先前将遭攻击对象定义为“毒品恐怖分子”(narcoterrorists),但未提供更多相关细节。截至目前为止,美军对委内瑞拉外海疑似运毒船隻的一连串空袭行动,已造成至少 27 人死亡。

特朗普政府主张,美方正与委内瑞拉的毒品恐怖组织“交战”,因此这些致命行动可能具合法性。美方官员称,过往拘捕船员、查扣货物的传统手段无法有效阻止毒品流入美国,唯有直接摧毁运输网络才具吓阻效果。

美军近期持续增兵至加勒比海地区,部署包括导弹驱逐舰、F-35 战机、一艘核子潜艇与约 6500 名部队,加强对委内瑞拉政府的军事压力。特朗普另于10月15日透露,他已授权中央情报局(CIA)在委内瑞拉境内执行秘密行动,遭疑企图推翻该国总统马杜罗。

特朗普周五确认,委内瑞拉总统马杜罗准备采取一切措施缓解与美国的紧张关系。17日特朗普在白宫回答记者提问时表示,“他把一切都摆在桌面上。(...) 你知道为什么吗?因为他不想人让美国人把他当成傻瓜”。记者提问称,委内瑞拉甚至提出要拿部分自然资源来做赌注。

在回答美国媒体报道的幸存者存在问题时,特朗普说道,“我们袭击了一艘潜艇,它是一艘专门运毒的潜艇,专门用于运载大量毒品”。“这不是一群无辜的人”。

站在他身旁的美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥评论道:“据了解,美国主导的反毒品恐怖主义行动正在进行中。”目前,他尚未证实是否有人在美军空袭中幸存,但承诺“很快”公布“细节”。

 

特朗普释放缓和对华关税立场信号 华尔街股市受益

17/10/2025 - 23:11

特朗普透露,他将在两周后在韩国与中国最高领导人会面,暗示这次会晤可能会促成贸易谈判。"我认为我们与中国的关系会好转,"特朗普在周五播出的采访片段中表示。

总统对中国过去的贸易做法保持批评态度,称:"他们总是寻找优势。他们多年来掠夺了我们的国家。"他补充道,"中国——他们确实在我们国家做了一番手脚。他们拿走了钱。现在,情况已经逆转。"

特朗普强调了他处理与北京关系的方式:"我们有一个非常强大的对手,他们只尊重实力。"

特朗普上述表态让欧洲股市松了一口气。几家银行公布的业绩好于预期,也有助于缓解市场情绪。Truist、Regions Financial 和 Fifth Third Bancorp 披露的信贷损失低于预期,这支持了这样一种观点:16日的冲击并非2023年区域性银行业危机的重演。

美国两大地区银行锡安银行(Zions Bancorp)和西部联合银行(Western Alliance Bancorp)相继披露,它们遭遇了贷款欺诈,这些贷款可能永远无法偿还。由于投资者担心其他大大小小的银行也会披露不良贷款,从而引发对信贷质量的严重质疑,这两家银行的股价随后下跌逾10%。“

摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙(Jamie Dimon)周二宣称:“当你看到一只蟑螂时,可能还有好几只!”此前他接触过的汽车零售商 Tricolor 和零部件制造商 First Brands 相继破产。这两家公司都拥有巨额信贷。

周五全球股市起起落落,一方面担心美国地区性银行的困境;另一方面关注与中国的贸易战可能出现的积极信号。纽约证券交易所周五收盘走高,特朗普16日的言论引发了人们对缓解与北京贸易紧张局势的希望。道琼斯工业平均指数上涨 0.52%,纳斯达克指数也上涨 0.52%,标准普尔 500 指数上涨 0.53%。

 

与普京通电话后 特朗普不向乌提供战斧巡航导弹

17/10/2025 - 23:15

法国《解放报》相关标题报道说,与普京打电话交换意见后,特朗普收回了向乌克兰提供战斧导弹的决定。泽连斯基对特朗普说,俄罗斯“怕”的就是美国战斧导弹。

美国总统特朗普10月16日与普京通话约两个多小时,他在“真实社群”平台上发文称,“我相信今天的通话取得了重大进展”。在与乌克兰总统泽连斯基会晤之后,特朗普对媒体表示,普京希望“结束战争”!

而泽连斯基会晤特朗普时表示,普京“尚未准备好”实现和平。当记者问及是否担心克里姆林宫领导人试图拖延时间时,特朗普回答道:“是的,我担心。”“有可能。是的,他需要一点时间。”

他在白宫接见乌克兰总统泽连斯基时对媒体补充道:“但我认为我在这方面很擅长。我认为普京想达成协议。”

泽连斯基向特朗普展示可袭击俄的目标“地图”

乌克兰代表团内部一位消息人士称,乌克兰总统泽连斯基在华盛顿与美国总统特朗普会晤时,向特朗普展示了一些“地图”,上面标明了俄罗斯境内可能遭到袭击的目标。

法新社报道:“这些地图上标注了可以给俄罗斯国防和军事经济带来重击,可以作为打击目标,迫使普京结束战争。”

 

神秘豪车女杨兰兰悉尼车祸案第三次开庭

17/10/2025 - 22:59

来自中国的神秘豪车女杨兰兰在澳洲悉尼的车祸案10月17日(周五)上午第三次开庭。

杨兰兰驾驶一辆价值150万美元的劳斯莱斯SUV,在7月26日的车祸中毫发无伤,但52岁的奔驰司机乔治‧普拉萨拉斯(George Plassaras)则身受重伤——包括脊柱断裂、双髋与双股骨骨折及多处损伤,可能导致终身残疾、无法再工作。

事后,杨兰兰神秘的背景,奢侈的生活方式和来源不明的巨额资产等,逐渐被人曝光,使她成为华人舆论关注的热点。外界猜测她很可能与中国大陆的权贵阶层有密切关联。

被告杨兰兰的出庭律师约翰‧科恩(John Korn)证实,正与检方进行“认罪协商”,这是迄今为止释放出最明确的一个信息。他并以此为由,申请将案件休庭至11月14日。

法庭注册官批准了辩方律师的延期申请,但同时也强调,此案已多次提讯,下个月提讯时,杨兰兰必须做出认罪或不认罪的正式答辩。整个提讯时间持续不到十分钟。

检方代表则重申,目前对杨兰兰的四项指控——“拒绝或未能接受酒精测试”、“危险驾驶致人重伤”、“未向警方提供身份信息”及“疏忽驾驶致人重伤”维持不变。

根据法律定义,“认罪协商”是检方与辩方律师通过协议,在不经正式审判的情况下解决刑事案件的一种程序。这一程序在刑事案件中非常普遍,它能有效节省司法资源。

检方表示:“但我们必须明白其内在的逻辑——如果杨兰兰和她的律师团队对在法庭上获判无罪有百分之百的信心,他们就不需要坐下来与检方协商。”

也就是说:启动协商行为的本身表明,辩方承认案件中存在对己方不利的风险。

杨兰兰的律师确认,如果控辩双方达成“认罪协商”并进入认罪程序,杨兰兰将会出庭。

针对被问及杨兰兰是否关注外界对其身份的网络传言,科恩律师对媒体表示:“她是一个非常害羞的女孩,我想她偶尔会看看媒体报导。”

在被问及杨兰兰是否“出身富裕家庭”及是否“与中国共产党有联系”时,科恩明确地表示,这些问题与案件本身“毫无关联”。

他说,“这与我为她所做的工作完全无关,因此,我从未询问过。”

当其他媒体记者进一步追问杨兰兰是否持有外国护照或双重国籍时,科恩回应:“我不知道,这与我所需处理的法律事项无关。”

事实上,杨兰兰神秘身份的细节在科恩向法院申请更改保释条件时已遭曝光。

据《每日邮报》披露,9月26日,科恩律师向地方法官梅根‧格林伍德(Megan Greenwood)证实,杨兰兰是外国公民,拥有澳洲永久居民身份,目前是一名学生。他透露杨兰兰14岁被送到澳洲读书,之后很少回中国。杨有严重的心理健康问题,在她位于东区Watson Bay的豪华顶层公寓里几乎过着隐居般的生活。



After Facing Life in Prison, a Legal Trailblazer Steps Into Freedom

特朗普计划与习近平讨论乌克兰冲突

17/10/2025 - 22:03

美国总统特朗普(Donald Trump)周五表示,他计划在与中国国家主席习近平的会议中,讨论乌克兰冲突问题。特朗普强调,尽管他打算在会议中探讨此议题,但他希望冲突能在这之前结束。

特朗普周五在白宫接见乌克兰总统泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy),他在讲话时说道,计划本月稍晚在韩国与中国国家主席习近平举行会晤,讨论乌克兰战争问题。

“我将讨论这个问题,但我希望在会议之前,冲突能够结束。”他说。

他进一步指出,由于美国的关税政策,使美方在与习近平的会议中处于“强势地位”。他称:“通过征收关税,我们赚取了数百亿美元,不仅是来自中国,还来自其他国家。中国希望进行对话,我们也愿意与中国对话,因此我们之间有着非常良好的关系。我们将于几周后在韩国会面。”

长桌对面的泽连斯基并没有针对中国发表讲话。

几日之前,美国《华盛顿邮报》(The Washington Post)报导,中国实质性地帮助俄罗斯,在与乌克兰的持久战争中,取得了关键的战场优势,北京在今年夏季大幅增加了对俄罗斯出口的关键元件,这些元件是制造光纤无人机的关键之一,这些无人机帮助莫斯科压倒了乌克兰在前线的防御。

本月初,乌克兰一名高级情报官员告诉媒体,有证据表明,俄罗斯和中国在对乌克兰领土进行卫星侦察合作,以进一步识别探索战略目标,让莫斯科能够更好地对乌克兰境内发动飞弹袭击。

今年4月,乌克兰领导人曾经表示,中国正在向俄罗斯供应武器和火药,乌克兰政府掌握的情报还显示,中国正在俄罗斯领土上生产武器。

除此之外,中国也被批评持续购买俄罗斯石油。今年9月底,特朗普在纽约举办的联合国大会上,一举点名中国、印度、北约等仍持续购买俄罗斯石油,是资助俄罗斯对乌克兰发动战争的表现。

事实上,随着中国获得俄罗斯廉价的石油和天然气资源,北京与莫斯科的合作关系日益紧密。中国对于乌克兰冲突的立场相对模糊,并未急于促使战争结束。实现和平可能会让中国失去对俄罗斯能源的特惠价格,这对中国的经济利益来说并非理想。与此同时,俄罗斯的炼油厂遭到乌克兰无人机攻击,产能减少30%,这使得中国成为俄罗斯精炼产品的主要进口国。

泽连斯基曾在接受美国《福克斯新闻》(FOX News)专访时表示:“我认为特朗普总统能改变习近平对这场战争的看法,因为中国目前并不希望结束这场战争。”

泽连斯基指出,中国对俄罗斯能源的依赖使其在冲突中的立场较为复杂。他强调,与印度相比,中国的态度较难改变,因为目前结束对俄支持并不符合中国的利益。

Government 'doing everything' to overturn Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban

The government has said it is "doing everything in our power" to overturn a ban on Maccabi Tel Aviv fans attending a football match in Birmingham and is exploring what additional resources could be required.

On Thursday, Aston Villa said the city's Safety Advisory Group (SAG) decided that fans of the Israeli club should not be permitted to attend the Europa League fixture on 6 November over safety concerns.

Facing mounting pressure to resolve the situation, the government said it was working with police and exploring what additional resources are required.

A meeting of the SAG to discuss the match is expected next week, the Home Office said.

Sir Keir Starmer called the move to block fans attending "wrong", adding "we will "not tolerate antisemitism on our streets", while there has also been criticism from other party leaders.

The SAG - which advises the council on whether to issue safety certificates - will review the decision if West Midlands Police changes its risk assessment for the match, Birmingham City Council said.

On Thursday, West Midlands Police said it had classified the fixture as "high risk" based on current intelligence and previous incidents, including "violent clashes and hate crime offences" between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv fans before a match in Amsterdam in November 2024.

The Home Office was briefed that restrictions on visiting fans might be imposed last week, but the BBC understands officials were not informed about the final decision until Thursday.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch said the revelation left the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood, with "serious questions to answer" about why her department did "nothing" to avert the ban.

She said: "This is a weak government that fails to act when required."

A source close to Mahmood told the BBC that "this is categorically untrue".

"The first time the home secretary knew that the fans were being banned was last night," they added.

Landmark deal to cut global shipping emissions in tatters after US pressure

BBC Breaking NewsBBC

A landmark deal to cut global shipping emissions has been abandoned after Saudi Arabia and the US succeeded in ending the talks.

More than 100 countries had gathered in London to approve a deal first agreed in April, which would have seen shipping become the world's first industry to adopt internationally mandated targets to reduce emissions.

But President Trump had called the plan a "green scam" and representatives of the US administration had threatened countries all week with tariffs if they had voted in favour.

Reflecting the pressure countries faced, the Secretary General of the Internatiobal Maritime Organisation issued a "plea" for this not to be repeated.

Award for dog, abandoned five times but now solving wildlife crime

Henry was a "lost soul" who found his purpose as a detection dog

A "superdog" rejected from five homes for his energetic nature has won an international award for his ability to help catch criminals and save wildlife.

Henry, a 10-year-old Springer Spaniel, has been named Animal of the Year by the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), which recognises the unsung heroes of animal welfare.

He was rescued by Louise Wilson, of Conservation K9 Consultancy in Wrexham, at eight months old when he was a "lost soul" struggling to find a home.

Now Henry can detect seven scents, ranging from birds of prey to hedgehogs, helping police track down those involved in wildlife crime.

Henry can locate bird carcasses and even small monitoring tags removed from birds, and his nose has helped police target criminals who kill or steal birds of prey.

Although not a police dog, he has been invaluable to the National Wildlife Crime Unit (NWCU) in their work protecting birds of prey.

Det Insp Mark Harrison, from the NWCU, said Henry's work is crucial in helping police to gather evidence for potential crimes.

"If we don't recover anything, the investigation grinds to a halt," he said.

"We had a search recently and underneath a load of heather where you couldn't see a thing from the surface, Henry recovered a tiny bird's skull."

Det Insp Harrison also said intelligence showed that offenders are "scared and worried" by the work being done by animals like Henry.

Henry sat in a field after locating a dead bird as Louise stands over him holding his leash.

As well as working with police, Henry also helps conservationists with "ecological monitoring", including for pine martens, hedgehogs, otters and water voles.

Louise has worked around the world with dogs detecting firearms, explosives and tobacco, but said Henry was one of a growing number involved in conservation detecting and tackling wildlife crime.

She said Henry's strong will and "unruly energy" make him the perfect detection dog.

"He's got so much energy and drive and as soon as we trained him for conservation detection we were able to give him focus," she said.

Henry was honoured at the 25th Animal Action Awards in London on Thursday, alongside human conservations from around the world.

Wildlife presenter Michaela Strachan, who presented the awards, described Henry as a "superdog", praising Louise's work training him.

"To be able to train a dog like Henry to do the work that he does needs an enormous amount of time, patience, dedication and commitment," she said.

"The two of them together are a formidable team for wildlife protection."
