台湾亲绿媒体报道,在野党国民党主席郑丽文将在农历年前后与中共总书记习近平会面,并指北京提出“三张门票”作为前提。中国大陆国台办说,相关报道无中生有,但大陆愿意在坚持九二共识、反对台独的基础上,与台湾各政治团体和人士交流往来。
《自由时报》上周报道,“郑习会”将在农历年前后登场,北京提出“三张门票”为前提,包括要国民党挡下民进党政府提出的军购案等。
国台办发言人陈斌华星期三(12月10日)在例行记者会上说,相关报道是无中生有,并称民进党和有关媒体“恶意炒作、造谣生事”,目的是抹黑破坏两岸正常交流交往,打压政治异己,捞取选票和政治利益,司马昭之心路人皆知。
他提出,中国大陆愿在坚持九二共识,反对台独的共同政治基础上,与国民党和台湾内部各政治团体、有识之士加强交流往来,巩固增进政治互信,保持联系互动,顺应两岸民众的愿望,共同推动两岸关系和平发展,维护和平稳定,造福两岸民众。
国际货币基金组织上调中国2025年的经济增速至5%,相较10月的预测值上调了0.2个百分点。
据IMF在官网星期三(12月10日)在官网发布的报告,IMF预计中国经济在2025年和2026年将分别增长5.0%和4.5%。
IMF表示,相较10月《世界经济展望》,上述预测值分别上调了0.2个和0.3个百分点,主要原因是当局采取了宏观经济刺激措施,且中国出口面临的关税低于预期水平。
但IMF同时指出,尽管经济增长呈现出韧性,但在内需疲软且存在通缩压力的情况下,失衡问题仍然显著。与贸易伙伴相比,中国的通胀处于较低水平,这导致实际汇率贬值,从而推动了强劲的出口和经常账户顺差的扩大。
IMF认为,关键的政策优先事项是推动向消费拉动型增长模式转型,为实现这一转型,当局需要更紧迫地采取更有力的扩张性宏观经济政策,实施改革来降低高企的家庭储蓄,并缩减不必要的产业政策支持和低效投资。这样的一揽子政策也将减少外部失衡。
此外,为了应对增加的风险并在中期维持稳健增长,IMF也建议当局实施财政和金融框架改革;清理广义政府、房地产和金融部门的资产负债表;推进市场化改革,包括开放服务业和促进企业间的竞争中性。

夺去160人性命的香港大埔宏福苑夺命火灾,不单在香港批评或作出呼吁会被警方国安人员约谈,在中国内地发文亦面对类似命运。中国独立记者高瑜在死难者「头七」(即去世后第七天)发布两篇评论文章,狠批香港特首李家超,并列出官方在火灾后的带风向行为,其后遭到警察上门进行笔录。她事后再发文批评,指这是为李家超充当保护伞。
港府昨(9日)把大火的死亡人数提升至160人。警务处处长周一鸣指出,清空大埔宏福苑各幢大楼周围的棚架时,发现一件疑似人类骸骨,经比对DNA后,确认骸骨属于一名婆婆和一名家佣中的一人,因此将找到的遗体数字由159人增至 160人。
至于失联人数方面,警方表示,在排查后,已找到和联系到部分失联人士,遂把失联人数由 31人修正为 6人。另外,与火灾相关的骗案有 21宗,目前有两人被拘捕。
关注此次大火的中国独立记者高瑜,曾发文批评李家超打压民间追责的声音,指出保安局局长邓炳强曾称「棚网合符要求」,是将起火成因归咎于竹棚,并列出新华网副总编刘洪在其微博公众账号「牛弹琴」中配合港府言论,称中国基本上已全面用金属棚架取代竹棚,有做「舆论导向」之嫌。
她续称,驻港国安公署称有人「以灾乱港」,国安警拘捕发起「四大诉求」的联署人、女义工和前区议员,约谈评论员王岸然等发起民间记者会的人,是用强硬镇压手段阻挡市民向官方追责。
她在文章中还引用法新社记者问李家超为什么觉得自己还有资格担任特首,并指李的回应是在回避问题。高瑜批评,李家超的所作所为,只能「把香港人独立、自由、具有权利意识的价值观进一步碾碎,让香港人更加失去信心,让香港变得更糟」。
这两篇文章在《光传媒》刊登后,高瑜被公安上门查问。她周一(8日)在其 X 账号透露,有两名朝阳区和平街派出所的警察上门找她,表示要进行笔录,查问期间,提到她在这两篇与大埔火灾相关文章中所写的内容。她引述说,警察要求她解释为何要写这些文章;高瑜回应说,火灾死伤惨重,不关心还是中国人吗?警察要求她说明文章资料来源,以及提到港府用强硬镇压手段阻挡市民追责的内容。
高瑜回答北京警察道,现在香港监狱关押的很多都是民主人士,都是她的朋友,又说李家超是镇压了「反送中」(即2019年反对修订逃犯条例)运动才当上特首,而在前鬼首林郑月娥时期,香港确实没有发生如此大的火灾,反问警察「不向他(李家超)追责向谁追责?」
高瑜进一步质问警察,香港市民提出「四大诉求」,要求成立独立调查委员会,全面彻查潜在利益输送;要求全力追究监管疏忽、问责政府官员,为何不符合法律?她还指出李家超不但不接受,反而罗织国安法例的罪名,抓捕发起签名的大学生和一名前区议员,「不是阻止市民追责又是什么?」
高瑜又忆述回应警察质问时称,这场大火不是天灾,是人祸,因为宏福苑居民去年已不断报告火灾隐患,但没有部门理睬,大火起因已证实为劣质不阻燃的防护网,以及用易燃泡沫板当玻璃窗,制度漏洞如此之多,「不是人祸是什么?」
高瑜表示,已拒绝警察要求她在有关大埔火灾的纸上签名的请求,并指出警察的行为,是禁止向李家超追责,是北京傅政华的流毒,在继续充当李家超的保护伞,她反过来要求警察把这些话写入记录。

港府首次动用《维护国家安全条例》(又称《基本法》23条)第88条,起诉时事评论员王岸然,指其在油管(YouTube)披露有关火灾记者会「被取消」前遭警方国安约见的情况,另又指控他发布具煽动意图的影片,成为首名因涉及大埔火灾而被控以触犯国安法例者。联合国人权事务高级专员蒂尔克(Volker Türk)敦促港府停止以国安法律追究公民要求彻查火灾真相,不要打压异见,并要求废除或大幅修改不符国际人权法的香港国安法例。
包括香港老牌政党民主民生协进会(简称「民协」)主席廖成利在内的多名专业人士,于本月初发起召开香港民间记者会,以探讨大埔大火及就灾后工作提出建议,但记者会在接获「有关部门通知」后取消,而出席者则被国安约谈。曾是民协创会评议长的时事评论员王岸然事后在其个人频道透露国安就民间记者会一事约见他,被控涉嫌违反《基本法》23条下的「妨害调查危害国家安全的罪行」及「明知而发布具煽动意图的刊物」罪。
案件昨(9日)午提堂,法官拒绝王岸然的保释申请,并祇控方要求,将案件押后至明年1月20日再讯,以便警方搜证,包括观看逾 2400条视频。
控罪指,71岁丶原名黄觉岸的王岸然,被控在其个人频道披露被国安警约谈和查询的内容,罔顾会妨害进行中的国家安全调查,涉嫌违反《维护国家安全条例》第88条的妨害调查罪。一旦罪成,被告最高可被判监七年。
警方同时控告王岸然「新煽动罪」,指他在今年1月3日至12月6日期间,在个人频道发布具煽动意图的影片,引起中港居民对国家根本制度的憎恨或藐视,涉嫌煽惑他人改变中央就特区依法制定的事项等。
控方散庭前要求传媒唱好当局
按法例,传媒如未获法庭豁免,是不可披露保释申请内容的。根据专门报道法庭消息的网媒《法庭线》报道,控方在散庭前不单无必要地提醒媒体此项规定,还希望媒体提及被告涉及的其他案件,并要求「必须强调惩教署依法对有关羁留人士提供适切照顾」。
翻查资料,警方国安处人员在大埔火灾后至少曾扣捕四人,包括提出成立独立调查委员会和问责政府官员等「四大诉求」联署的中文大学学生关靖丰丶民主派前区议员张锦雄及参与协助灾民筹集物资的义工阿澄,他们被国安扣查不同时间后获得保释出外候查。四人中暂时只有王岸然被正式起诉,且不淮保释。
联合国人权事务高级专员蒂尔克在国际人权日前夕(9日)发表声明,在慰问香港大埔火灾受害者的同时,对港府针对公民社会采取的行动深表关切。
蒂尔克表示,香港公众对火灾受害者的声援,彰显了香港公民精神的深度与韧性;而港人在伤痛之时仍希望知道真相及追究责任,实属理所当然。他认为,香港此刻就重大公共利益及关注议题进行讨论,比以往任何时候都更为重要,这可让数以百计的受害者获得合理赔偿,并避免悲剧再次发生。
人权专员特别点出港府未设「独立调查委员会」
蒂尔克亦特别点出,港府未有成立「独立调查委员会」来调查火灾,指「调委会」才具备全面调查权力。翻查资料,港府在上周宣布成立「独立委员会」来「审视」火灾成因及相关问题,而非前高官建议的「调委会」。
对于港府以严苛的国安相关法律针对公开呼吁透明独立调查及追究政府责任者,蒂尔克深感忧虑。他敦促港府撤回对寻求追责人士的案件,并呼吁废除或大幅修改与国安相关的法律,以确保香港符合《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》的要求。
另外,蒂尔克对刚结束的香港立法会选举也表达关切,指政治多元化能为问责提供必要的制衡机制,关注香港民主派的组织已被迫解散;大改后的选举制度亦把地区直选议席降至不足总数的两成,并设立审查机制以排除反对派候选人。他要求港府撤销限制政治参与和压制异见的措施,重申联合国人权事务高级专员办事处将与中方持续对话,继续就这些议题与香港当局保持接触。

ReutersUkraine is "ready for elections", President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, after US President Donald Trump repeated claims Kyiv was "using war" to avoid holding them.
Zelensky's five-year term as president was due to end in May 2024, but elections have been suspended in Ukraine since martial law was declared after Russia's invasion.
Speaking to reporters following Trump's comments in a wide-raging Politico interview, Zelensky said he would ask for proposals to be drawn up which could change the law.
Elections could be held in the next 60 to 90 days if security for the vote was guaranteed with the help of the US and other allies, he said.
"I'm asking now, and I'm stating this openly, for the US to help me, perhaps together with our European colleagues, to ensure security for the elections," he told reporters.
"The issue of elections in Ukraine, I believe, depends first and foremost on our people, and this is a question for the people of Ukraine, not the people of other countries. With all due respect to our partners," he said.
"I've heard hints that we're clinging to power, or that I personally am clinging to the presidency" and "that's why the war isn't ending", which he called "frankly, a completely unreasonable narrative".
Russia has consistently claimed Zelensky is an illegitimate leader and demanded new elections as a condition of a ceasefire deal – a talking point which has been repeated by Trump.
"They talk about a democracy, but it gets to a point where it's not a democracy anymore," the US president told Politico. He has suggested without evidence that Zelensky is the main obstacle to peace as US-led efforts to broker a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine continue.
Such a vote would only be fair if all Ukrainians could participate, including soldiers fighting on the front line, a Ukrainian opposition MP told the BBC.
"In order for these elections to be fair all of the People of Ukraine would need to be allowed to vote," Lesia Vasylenko told the BBC World Service's Newsday programme.
She said that "elections are never possible in wartime", alluding to the suspension of elections in the UK during World War Two.
Discussions around holding elections have made headlines since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. They have been routinely dismissed by Ukraine's government, opposition and public alike, arguing unity in the war effort must come first.
A poll by the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology (KIIS) in March found about 78% of people opposed holding elections even after a complete settlement of the war.
"Even a year ago, Zelensky said that he was ready for elections as soon as the conditions allow" in the face of previous pressure, Hanna Shelest, a foreign policy analyst with the think tank Ukrainian Prism, told the BBC.
The question was, however, how to create the conditions Zelensky outlined, Shelest told the Newsroom programme on the BBC World Service, given there were around one million soldiers and four million refugees who would be voting - as well as unsecured areas in the country and ongoing strikes.
"You cannot guarantee the security of the polling stations," she said.

GettyHumans are a bit like meerkats when it comes to pairing up, according to a study that examined the monogamous lifestyles of different species.
In our romantic life, we more closely resemble these social, close-knit mongooses than we do our primate cousins, a "league table" of monogamy compiled by scientists suggests.
At 66% monogamous, humans score surprisingly highly, far above chimps and gorillas – and on a par with meerkats.
However, we are by no means the most monogamous creature. Top spot goes to the Californian mouse - rodents that form inseparable, lifelong bonds.

Getty"There is a premier league of monogamy, in which humans sit comfortably, while the vast majority of other mammals take a far more promiscuous approach to mating," said Dr Mark Dyble at the University of Cambridge.
In the animal world, pairing up has its perks, which may be why it has evolved independently in multiple species, including us. Experts have proposed various benefits to so-called social monogamy, where mates match up for at least a breeding season to care for their young and see off rivals.
Dr Dyble examined several human populations throughout history, calculating the proportions of full siblings – where individuals share the same mother and father – compared with half-siblings, individuals who share either a mother or a father, but not both. Similar data was compiled for more than 30 social monogamous and other mammals.
Humans have a monogamy rating of 66% full siblings, ahead of meerkats (60%) but behind beavers (73%).
Meanwhile, our evolutionary cousins fall at the bottom of the table - with mountain gorillas at 6% rating, while chimpanzees come in at just 4% (alongside the dolphin).
In last place is Scotland's Soay sheep, where females mate with multiple males, with 0.6% full siblings. The Californian mouse came top, at 100%.

GettyHowever, being ranked alongside meerkats and beavers doesn't mean our societies are the same - human society is poles apart.
"Although the rates of full siblings we see in humans are most similar to species like meerkats or beavers, the social system that we see in humans is very different," Dr Dyble told BBC News.
"Most of these species live in colony-like social groups or perhaps live in solitary pairs that go around together. Humans are very different from that. We live in what we call multi-male, multi-female groups, within which we have these monogamous, or pair-bonded, units."

GettyDr Kit Opie at the University of Bristol, who is not connected with the study, said this is another piece in the puzzle over how human monogamy arose.
"I think this paper gives us a very clear understanding that across time and across space humans are monogamous," he said.
"Our society is much closer to chimps and bonobos – it just happens that we've taken a different route when it comes to mating."
The new study is published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society: Biological Sciences.

Indianapolis ZooThe Prince of Wales has paid tribute to pioneering elephant conservationist Iain Douglas-Hamilton, who died aged 83 at his home in Nairobi on Monday.
Douglas-Hamilton spent his life studying and campaigning to protect African elephants, becoming a world-leading expert on their behaviour in the wild.
His groundbreaking research exposed the devastating effects of poaching - often at great risk to his own safety - and was instrumental in the banning of the international ivory trade.
Prince William praised the zoologist as "a man who dedicated his life to conservation and whose life's work leaves lasting impact on our appreciation for, and understanding of, elephants".
"The memories of spending time in Africa with him will remain with me forever," added Prince William, who is a royal patron for the African wildlife conservation charity, Tusk, of which Douglas-Hamilton was an ambassador.
"The world has lost a true conservation legend today, but his extraordinary legacy will continue," the charity's founder Charles Mayhew said in a statement.

Oria Douglas-HamiltonBorn in 1942 to an aristocratic British family in Dorset, England, Douglas-Hamilton studied biology and zoology in Scotland and Oxford before moving to Tanzania to research elephant social behaviour.
It was there at Lake Manyara National Park that he began documenting every elephant he encountered, eventually becoming so familiar with the herds he could recognise them by the unique shapes of their ears and wrinkles on their skin.
"The thing about elephants is that they have a lot in common with human beings," he said in a 2024 documentary about his work, A Life Among Elephants.
Friend and fellow conservationist Jane Goodall, who died in October, was featured in the documentary, and said he had shown the world that elephants are capable of feeling just like humans.
"I think his legacy will be one of a man who did so much to help people understand how majestic, how wonderful elephants are, and to learn more about their way of life," Goodall said.

Oria Douglas-HamiltonBut that work did not always come easy: he was charged at by elephants, almost killed by a swarm of bees and shot at by poachers. In 2010, a flood destroyed his research facility in Kenya and years of work was lost.
Despite the hardships, Douglas-Hamilton remained steadfast in his mission to raise awareness of the plight of African elephants, becoming one of the leading voices to alert the world of the ivory poaching crisis, which he described as "an elephant holocaust".
He later campaigned for an international ban on the commercial trade in ivory, and in 1989 the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species was signed, an international agreement between governments.
After the agreement failed to wipe out the trade completely, Douglas-Hamilton turned his attention to China and the US, the two main markets for ivory. Chinese President Xi Jinping and then-US President Barack Obama agreed to a near-total ban on its import and export in 2015.
Douglas-Hamilton established Save the Elephants in 1993, a charity dedicated to safeguarding the animals and deepening human understanding of their behaviour.
The organisation's CEO Frank Pope, who is also his son-in-law, said: "Iain changed the future not just for elephants, but for huge numbers of people across the globe. His courage, determination and rigour inspired everyone he met."
In his own words, Douglas-Hamilton expressed optimism for the future of his life's work.
"I think my greatest hope for the future is that there will be an ethic developed of human-elephant coexistence," he once said.
Iain Douglas-Hamilton is survived by his wife Oria, children Saba and Dudu, and six grandchildren.

During the eight-and-a-half years he has spent at Liverpool, Mohamed Salah has been beloved by supporters, who rank the 'Egyptian King' among the club's greatest ever players.
But since his unexpected declaration he feels scapegoated by Liverpool for the club's poor run, having been picked as a substitute for three consecutive matches by manager Arne Slot, Salah's character has been called into question by fans, former players and beyond.
So who is Salah the man - away from the latest headlines?
Over the past few months, BBC Sport has spoken to some of those who know him best to find out more about the personality and resilience of the man behind the goals, the glory, and the gossip.
Salah's relentless intensity and refusal to accept lower standards from himself or those around him have underpinned Liverpool's success, and perhaps also explain why he has found criticism of his diminished role tough to handle.
"We are all massively influenced by our past - how we were raised, where we grew up," says Jurgen Klopp, who won every major trophy in English and European football while managing Salah at Anfield. "Mo knew early on [in his life] that he had to do more than others.
"He always developed. He never stops. That is his mindset.
"After each summer break he came back and had a new skill. It was like he had spent the whole time just practising one particular type of pass.
"We pushed each other, just to make sure that we would never stop. And we never did stop. That moment lifting the Premier League bonded us for life. He will be remembered as one of the greatest of all time.
"I wouldn't say he is easy to manage, but he is also not difficult to manage. You [only] have problems with Mo Salah if he is not playing or you take him off."
Salah has been criticised by some for not giving more frequent media interviews before his intervention in the mixed zone at Leeds' Elland Road, particularly after defeats and poor performances.
He has been accused of demonstrating a lack of leadership. But he has often delivered calls to arms to fans on social media, external in difficult moments, and those who have played alongside him describe Salah as a man who refuses to give up and is capable of inspiring others.
"He will always be trying to prove someone wrong," says former Liverpool team-mate Adam Lallana.
"He is not macho. I would often tell my children about how he behaves, how he doesn't get too high in good moments, doesn't beat himself up too much in low moments. He would always remain completely focused on the job in hand.
"I would look at him and it would make me feel calm because of how in control he would be all the time.
"Knowing Mo, he will always be fighting, being resilient, and trying to find ways to better himself."

"Never give up - did it ever fit to a situation better than this one?" says Klopp about the T-shirt an injured Salah wore during Liverpool's 4-0 Champions League win over Barcelona in 2019. Lallana says the shirt "inspired" the team. James Milner keeps one at home.
Salah defended his record when speaking at Elland Road, and compared himself to England captain Harry Kane - delivering what he felt was a reminder to those inside and outside of Liverpool who have forgotten what he is capable of.
A level of arrogance is perhaps to be expected in all elite athletes, and some believe it has powered Salah to the heights he and Liverpool have reached.
"He is a really nice guy, considering the success he has had - being a superstar around the globe," says James Milner - Liverpool's vice-captain during most of Salah's time at the club.
"He plays as if he has a chip on his shoulder. He wants to be the best at everything - he even got a chess teacher to improve his game, and gave me a thumping a good few times.
"You need different types of leaders, and Mo is a big leader in that group, in terms of the standards he set every day. When you have young players come and sign, they see him and it's 'this is what is takes to be a top player, this is what it is to be a Liverpool player'."
That desire to always be the best became competition - fraught at times - with team-mate Sadio Mane, Liverpool's other flying forward who played on the opposite wing to Salah for five seasons.
"Were they best friends? No," Klopp says. "Could Mo have passed the ball a few times when he tried to finish it off himself? Yes. But on the pitch they supported each other, they fought for each other."

Throughout his time with Liverpool, Salah has demonstrated his competitiveness on and off the pitch
Salah is more than just a footballer - he is a global sociocultural icon, being named one of the world's most influential people, steering conversations on human rights, and changing attitudes towards Muslims through demonstrations of faith.
He was born in a rural village - Nagrig - about 100 miles from Cairo, where most of the roughly 15,000 inhabitants work as farmers and more than half live in poverty.
That such a region could produce one of the world's greatest athletes borders on impossible.
"What already set him apart as a kid was his discipline," says Maher Anwar Shtiyeh - mayor of Nagrig. "He remains deeply tied to his roots, despite fame and global recognition.
"He only finds real happiness in his village spending time with his family and friends. He is a role model for the youth of Egypt, the Arab youth, and the youth of the whole Islamic world. He has lifted the heads of all of us."
As a child, Salah would travel up to five hours by minibus from his village to the capital, where he played youth football for top-flight club Arab Contractors.
That helped instil a resilience that has guided him throughout his professional career, alongside support from loved ones.
"You have to be mentally so strong as a young kid following your dream like that," says former international team-mate Ahmed Elmohamady.
"His wife is from the same village. They grew up together, which is great because she knows everything about him and has supported him all the way.
"Now anyone in the village who asks him for support, he supports them. It shows what a great human being he is."
Since leaving Egypt, Salah has maintained close ties with Nagrig and financed an ambulance station, a charitable foundation and a religious institute in the area.
Salah has proudly made his faith visible throughout his career - he prays both when walking onto the pitch and after scoring goals.
"When I first met Mo, he was coming here quite regularly," says Shafique Rahman - Imam at Liverpool Mosque and Islamic Institute. "He would arrive a little bit late after finishing training. We had people waiting outside who wanted to see him, but nobody would bother him during prayer.
"The nature of the religion is that everybody is the same in the eyes of God. When people come to prayers they stand extremely close, touching each other's shoulders. Mo felt very safe here."

When Salah first moved to England - signed by Jose Mourinho's Chelsea after impressing for Basel in Switzerland - he struggled to impose his personality in a squad full of established stars, and lacked self-belief.
"When I first met him, he was 21 - very innocent," says former team-mate Mark Schwarzer. "He was coming to London - a big city, different culture - and I think he was a bit timid.
"When he signed, he was coming into a changing room packed full of international stars - players that were used to winning, and a manager that was a legend of the club. For new players, it was sink or swim.
"The more he didn't score, the more frustrated he became. There was a moment in the changing room when Jose actually kicked a table, and was directing a lot of his frustration towards Mo, and he took him off. Mo was visibly upset.
"It's credit to him, his determination, his dedication, everything, to go on and deliver what he has done."
Salah rebuilt his career in Italy's Serie A - first in a loan spell with Fiorentina then at Roma, developing a reputation as an on-field leader and ultimate professional.
"He was just different," explains BBC pundit and former England and Manchester City defender Micah Richards, who played alongside Salah at Fiorentina. "You get those characters that just do everything by the book - he was that guy.
"He would always be in bed early, always be eating healthily. He clearly thought, 'I'm going to show everyone exactly what I can do. All those who have doubted me are going to eat their words.' That's exactly what he did."
For a young African man to set standards for European colleagues to follow was a challenge in itself.
"To succeed in Europe you have to understand the culture of where you are playing, where you are living, without losing any of your principles," says former Egypt striker Mido, who played for Tottenham, Roma and Ajax among others. "This is the balance that he has achieved.
"He has made young boys in Africa dream - 'If someone who comes from the background as I do made it to the top, why couldn't I make it?'"

Football fans in Nagrig were overjoyed when Salah, one of their own, scored the opening goal in the 2019 Champions League final
Even before Salah's comments following the 3-3 draw with Leeds, doubts about his future were arising.
Inside Liverpool, concerns had already been raised about his performances, before transfer rumours were given further encouragement this week, with sources telling the BBC the Reds are open-minded about selling the 33-year-old.
Salah is not the only Liverpool hero whose time at the club - which he and Slot have said could be up in the January transfer window - has (potentially) ended with public denigration.
In different contexts, Javier Mascherano, Fernando Torres and Trent Alexander-Arnold have met similar fates, while shirts bearing the legendary Steven Gerrard's name were set alight in the street when he was on the verge of joining Chelsea in 2005.
If this is the end of Salah and Liverpool's love affair, the human impact he has had on those around him will not be forgotten any time soon.
"He was one of the first people to welcome me, and did so in such an incredible way," says Luis Diaz, who played alongside Salah in Liverpool's forward line for three-and-a-half years before joining Bayern Munich earlier this year.
"He came over to me and said: 'if you ever need my help, I'm here for you.' I remember him telling me on the pitch: 'Let's try this... let's make this move so that it works.' And then it would work in the match.
"To share the moment lifting the Premier League with him, to see how happy he was, how much he was enjoying it, was an incredible feeling.
"He is always wanting to be a better player, to be a better person, and he has left a profound mark on me."

韩国国防部强调,韩军将在遵守国际法的前提下,积极应对防空识别区内邻国军机的活动。
韩国联合参谋本部早前通报,七架俄罗斯军机和两架中国军机当地时间星期二上午10时许(新加坡时间上午9时许),分别飞入位于东部海域的郁陵岛和独岛上空的防空识别区,以及位于南部海域的离於岛上空的防空识别区,中俄军机过后在对马岛上空会合。
韩军在中俄军机进入防识区前已探测到相关动向,并出动空军战机应对,以防突发情况。
据法新社报道,自2019年以来,中国和俄罗斯常以联合演习名义,未经事先通报定期进入韩国防空识别区。去年11月,首尔曾紧急出动战机应对五架中国军机和六架俄罗斯军机飞入防空识别区。类似事件还曾发生在2023年6月、12月,以及2022年5月和11月。
中国晶片设计公司摩尔线程将揭晓新一代处理器架构,星期三(12月10日)公司股价飙升,一度上涨27%。
摩尔线程星期二(9日)公布,12月19日至20日,摩尔线程将举行首届MUSA开发者大会。摩尔线程创始人、董事长兼CEO张建中会系统阐述以MUSA为核心的全栈发展战略与未来愿景,并重磅发布新一代图形处理器(GPU)架构、推出涵盖产品体系、核心技术及行业解决方案的完整布局,分享多领域落地案例与生态建设进展。
公司股价在星期三收涨17.78%至每股740元(135.76新元)。
得益于市场对中国科技自给自足的乐观预期,公司总市值已接近500亿美元(647.96亿新元)。
摩尔线程被视为英伟达在中国的挑战者,因为它效仿了英伟达设计GPU的路径,GPU最初主要用于渲染影片游戏中的高质量图像,后来被用于AI训练。摩尔线程的大多数国内AI晶片竞争对手,如华为(Huawei)和寒武纪,设计的是订制的专用集成电路(ASIC)。
据道琼斯的报道,尽管投资者对摩尔线程的股票热情高涨,但分析师仍将其视为排在华为和寒武纪之后的国内二线AI晶片供应商。
Spotify 的年度统计上周发布了,又到了用户一边转发,一边吐槽的季节——「这玩意儿也不准啊」。

但有比用户更崩溃的:明明已经和 Spotify 割席了,居然又「出现」在平台上。
这是来自澳洲的摇滚乐队 King Gizzard,这支乐队早在 7 月就因不满 Spotify 而主动下架了自己的全部歌曲,只留下了一个合作 Remix。

但他们的歌迷最近却发现了一支名为 「King Lizard Wizard」 的假乐队。上传的歌曲标题、歌词都逐字照搬 King Gizzard 的原作,甚至连歌曲名称都一模一样(比如冒牌乐队的《Rattlesnake》直接盗用原曲名和歌词)。用户在 Spotify 搜索 「King Gizzard」 时,会发现乐队已弃用的官方账号,下方却赫然推荐着这个山寨乐队——甚至在搜索结果中,假乐队的盗版《Rattlesnake》一度成为榜首。
山寨的现象从 Spotify 传到 YouTube,如此张冠李戴的现象令许多粉丝愤怒不已,这还是粉丝自己发现的,在 Reddit 上贴了出来后又觉得不对劲——这反而为山寨号引流了。

这桩大无语事件让 Spotify 平台在 AI 内容监管上的漏洞暴露无遗。假冒的 「King Lizard Wizard」 账号上线数周、积累了不菲的流量,后来才被移除——就连专辑封面也疑似 AI 生成。

更讽刺的是,其中一些假歌曲在元数据上还把 King Gizzard 主唱 Stu Mackenzie 列为词曲作者,简直明目张胆地蹭原创乐队的名气。明明是 Spotify 自己在 9 月时,宣称要出台新政策打击「垃圾内容、仿冒和欺骗」等行为,结果让这种 AI 山寨内容堂而皇之地混入了官方推荐位,包括 Release Radar 和 Discover Weekly 等歌单。
这已经不是疏忽,简直是对着人家乐队贴脸开大。
King Gizzard 的遭遇并非孤例。近一两年来,Spotify 平台上充盈着各式各样以 AI 技术批量生成的音乐内容,从模拟知名艺人的盗版歌曲,到平平无奇的生成音乐,应有尽有——现在,轮到翻唱了。
流媒体巨头们对 AI 生成内容实在是太热衷了。腾讯音乐曾经推出过 「启明星 AI 作曲」项目,号称已有超过 2600 万首 AI 音乐作品经由其算法创作并发布,累计播放量破十亿次。酷狗的「星曜计划」也有专门的 AI 子榜单,而且有原创有翻唱。

最典型的当属红遍抖音的《第 57 次取消发送》,最早发布于今年五月,原本是女声,不久前也就是 11 月时被翻成男声版又火了一遍——这次,是 AI 的。

男声版的「音色」还是有明显的 AI 感,仿佛一边唱一边踩电门,但也不妨碍这个歌引发大量共情和讨论。有人说勾起了旧日回忆,有很强的熟悉感,听着仿佛回到了华语音乐的黄金年代。
可不熟悉么,拼好歌拼出来的——

当资本和技术狂飙突进地涌入音乐生产,传统的创作生态势必受到冲击。在这一背景下,华语音乐人面临的可能是比西方同行更复杂的局面。
同时,翻唱其实是音乐平台上,很重要的构成版块:例如 cover,remix,既是粉丝和音乐爱好者二次创作的方式,也是新人和小歌手积累人气的方式。
当 AI 用虚构的名字和头像伪装成人,不断灌出机器人流水线作品,是对原创歌手和翻唱内容的双重打击。很多此类 AI 虚拟歌手顶着花哨的包装、写着空洞的简介,却堂而皇之拥有数十万月听众和官方歌单推送。
Spotify 也做过一些维护的动作,官方声称在过去一年内已移除上千万首涉嫌滥用算法的垃圾曲目,包含批量上传的雷同歌曲、标题堆砌关键词骗流量、以及「拆分长曲成短段以刷播次数」的作弊行为等。此外,Spotify 宣布提供新工具,允许创作者主动标注他们的音乐中是否使用了 AI 技术。
然而这些措施还是表面功夫偏多。大批 AI 音乐的祸根在于平台的运营逻辑:Spotify 强调歌单和无限播放模式,追求的是听众的停留时长,这种生态本就容易滋养垃圾内容和 AI 灌水。
再加上,Spotify CEO 丹尼尔·埃克本人也对 AI 技术非常热情,早在 2023 年便表示 AI 音乐「在文化上是好事,对 Spotify 也有利,因为创作者越多,平台提升用户参与和营收的机会就越大」。

典型的有「The Velvet Sundown」乐队,曾在 Spotify 上攒下逾百万听众,创作者后来才承认这不过是一场社交实验,音乐和照片都是伪造的。还有 「Echo Harper」 这样的虚拟摇滚歌手,被收录进 Spotify 精选的 「Just Rock!」 播放列表中。

▲The Velvet Sundown
有人愿意做,平台愿意买单,在这样的指导思想下,多快好省的 AI 内容自然正中平台下怀。
当不满累积到一定程度,抗争就此迸发。2023 年以来,越来越多的独立音乐人选择用脚投票,告别 Spotify。甚至一些乐队还会号召同行和听众一起「退出垃圾平台」。
创作歌手 Caroline Rose 选择只在黑胶和 Bandcamp 上发行新专辑,她直言「把我们的心血白白放上网免费听太蠢了」。Bandcamp 是一个链接歌迷和音乐人的「直销」平台,实行「付多少算多少」(Pay-what-you-want)的专辑下载方式,一般情况下艺人可获收益的 82%,且定期举办 Bandcamp Fridays 让艺人获得 100%销售额。

越来越多音乐人开始尝试跳出「一切都丢到流媒体」的套路,回归付费拥有音乐的传统:卖黑胶和磁带、举办付费直播演出、进驻 Bandcamp 等等。
相比之下,国内的情况更为复杂一些。虽然 AI 生成的音乐的确在逐渐铺开,但还没有到鹤唳风声的程度,也就没有激起太多对平台的抵制。《第 57 次取消发送》不仅在抖音等社交平台上大受欢迎,还登上了综艺节目,由真人明星演绎。

从 King Gizzard 乐队怒删曲目、却被 AI 克隆鸠占鹊巢的荒诞,到大批独立音乐人愤而出走 Spotify、寻求他途,这一系列事件背后揭示的是同一个本质:音乐被当作纯粹的数据产物和工具来榨取价值。
音乐创作的能力越来越不稀缺了,「拼好歌」听上去离谱,但「拼」出来的歌却正在收到欢迎。未来越发稀缺的,可能是人们对音乐的用心聆听,对创作者真诚的支持。当越来越多的人意识到这一点,也许音乐产业才有机会走上一条更尊重创作者、更有温度的道路。

ShutterstockA sperm donor who unknowingly harboured a genetic mutation that dramatically raises the risk of cancer has fathered at least 197 children across Europe, a major investigation has revealed.
Some children have already died and only a minority who inherit the mutation will escape cancer in their lifetimes.
The sperm was not sold to UK clinics, but the BBC can confirm a "very small" number of British families, who have been informed, used the donor's sperm while having fertility treatment in Denmark.
Denmark's European Sperm Bank, which sold the sperm, said families affected had their "deepest sympathy" and admitted the sperm was used to make too many babies in some countries.

Getty ImagesThe investigation has been conducted by 14 public service broadcasters, including the BBC, as part of the European Broadcasting Union's Investigative Journalism Network.
The sperm came from an anonymous man who was paid to donate as a student, starting in 2005. His sperm was then used by women for around 17 years.
He is healthy and passed the donor screening checks. However, the DNA in some of his cells mutated before he was born.
It damaged the TP53 gene – which has the crucial role of preventing the body's cells turning cancerous.
Most of the donor's body does not contain the dangerous form of TP53, but up to 20% of his sperm do.
However, any children made from affected sperm will have the mutation in every cell of their body.


This is known as Li Fraumeni syndrome and comes with an up to 90% chance of developing cancer, particularly during childhood as well as breast cancer later in life.
"It is a dreadful diagnosis," Prof Clare Turnbull, a cancer geneticist at the Institute of Cancer Research in London, told the BBC. "It's a very challenging diagnosis to land on a family, there is a lifelong burden of living with that risk, it's clearly devastating."
MRI scans of the body and the brain are needed every year, as well as abdominal ultrasounds, to try to spot tumours. Women often choose to have their breasts removed to lower their risk of cancer.
The European Sperm Bank said the "donor himself and his family members are not ill" and such a mutation is "not detected preventatively by genetic screening". They said they "immediately blocked" the donor once the problem with his sperm was discovered.
Doctors who were seeing children with cancer linked to sperm donation raised concerns at the European Society of Human Genetics this year.
They reported they had found 23 with the variant out of 67 children known at the time. Ten had already been diagnosed with cancer.
Through Freedom of Information requests and interviews with doctors and patients we can reveal substantially more children were born to the donor.
The figure is at least 197 children, but that may not be the final number as data has not been obtained from all countries.
It is also unknown how many of these children inherited the dangerous variant.


Dr Edwige Kasper, a cancer geneticist at Rouen University Hospital, in France, who presented the initial data, told the investigation: "We have many children that have already developed a cancer.
"We have some children that have developed already two different cancers and some of them have already died at a very early age."
Céline, not her real name, is a single-mother in France whose child was conceived with the donor's sperm 14 years ago and has the mutation.
She got a call from the fertility clinic she used in Belgium urging her to get her daughter screened.
She says she has "absolutely no hard feelings" towards the donor but says it was unacceptable she was given sperm that "wasn't clean, that wasn't safe, that carried a risk".
And she knows cancer will be looming over them for the rest of their lives.
"We don't know when, we don't know which one, and we don't know how many," she says.
"I understand that there's a high chance it's going to happen and when it does, we'll fight and if there are several, we'll fight several times."


The donor's sperm was used by 67 fertility clinics in 14 countries.
The sperm was not sold to UK clinics.
However, as a result of this investigation the authorities in Denmark notified the UK's Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) on Tuesday that British women had travelled to the country to receive fertility treatment using the donor's sperm.
Those women have been informed.
Peter Thompson, the chief executive of the HFEA, said a "very small number" of women were affected and "they have been told about the donor by the Danish clinic at which they were treated".
We do not know if any British women had treatment in other countries where the donor's sperm was distributed.
Concerned parents are advised to contact the clinic they used and the fertility authority in that country.
The BBC is choosing not to release the donor's identification number because he donated in good faith and the known cases in the UK have been contacted.
There is no law on how many times a donor's sperm can be used worldwide. However, individual countries do set their own limits.
The European Sperm Bank accepted these limits had "unfortunately" been breached in some countries and it was "in dialogue with the authorities in Denmark and Belgium".
In Belgium, a single sperm donor is only supposed to be used by six families. Instead 38 different women produced 53 children to the donor.
The UK limit is 10 families per donor.
Prof Allan Pacey, who used to run the Sheffield Sperm Bank and is now the deputy vice president of the Faculty of Biology Medicine and Health at the University of Manchester, said countries had become dependent on big international sperm banks and half the UK's sperm was now imported.
He told the BBC: "We have to import from big international sperm banks who are also selling it to other countries, because that's how they make their money, and that is where the problem begins, because there's no international law about how often you can use the sperm."
He said the case was "awful" for everybody involved, but it would be impossible to make sperm completely safe.
"You can't screen for everything, we only accept 1% or 2% of all men that apply to be a sperm donor in the current screening arrangement so if we make it even tighter, we wouldn't have any sperm donors – that's where the balance lies."
This case, alongside that of a man who was ordered to stop after fathering 550 children through sperm donation, has again raised questions over whether there should be tougher limits.
The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology has recently suggested a limit of 50 families per donor.
However, it said this would not reduce the risk of inheriting rare genetic diseases.
Rather, it would be better for the wellbeing of children who discover they are one of hundreds of half-siblings.
"More needs to be done to reduce the number of families that are born globally from the same donors," said Sarah Norcross, the director of the Progress Educational Trust, an independent charity for people affected by infertility and genetic conditions.
"We don't fully understand what the social and psychological implications will be of having these hundreds of half siblings. It can potentially be traumatic," she told BBC News.
The European Sperm Bank said: "It is important, especially in light of this case, to remember that thousands of women and couples do not have the opportunity to have a child without the help of donor sperm.
"It is generally safer to have a child with the help of donor sperm if the sperm donors are screened according to medical guidelines."
Sarah Norcross said these cases were "vanishingly rare" when you consider the number of children born to a sperm donor.
All of the experts we spoke to said using a licensed clinic meant the sperm would be screened for more diseases than most fathers-to-be are.
Prof Pacey said he would ask "is this a UK donor or is this a donor from somewhere else?"
"If it's a donor from somewhere else I think it's legitimate to ask questions about has that donor been used before? Or how many times will this donor be used?"
If you or someone you know has been affected by the issues raised, details of help and support are available at BBC Action Line.

The first thing I discovered when I started hunting provenance extended attributes (xattr) was a bug in my free utility xattred. This can result in the app crashing when using its Crawler to explore xattrs on items in a folder. I have fixed that in this new version 1.7, available below.
My hunt was by and large successful, with a great many com.apple.provenance xattrs caught. There are some interesting problems, though.
Looking through the contents of the main Applications folder, there are three groups of apps:
Examining files in the ~/Documents folder, there are plenty with provenance xattrs, and a great many with quarantine xattrs bearing information about their history including origin. Although some of the provenance IDs on them don’t match with those of apps, there’s sufficient to provide useful information about many without accessing the ExecPolicy database’s Provenance Tracking table. Therefore I will proceed to code up Providable over the next couple of weeks.
This new version of xattred should fix that crashing bug in its Crawler feature, that enables you to scan folders for information about their xattrs.
I have also looked at an issue that I’ve experienced when editing some xattrs such as the new com.apple.icon.folder type used in Tahoe to customise the appearance of folders. When editing them, some of the double-quotation marks used in text content can become changed to ‘smart’ quotes, which isn’t in the least bit smart, as it prevents that xattr from functioning correctly. Although that feature is disabled for that text view, macOS seems to be ignoring its setting and substituting smart quotes regardless. Provided that you’re aware of this danger and take care to ensure that all quotation marks are non-smart, you can edit xattrs successfully. Hopefully this will be improved in the future.
xattred version 1.7 for macOS 11.5 or later is available from here: xattred17

针对韩国电子入境卡将台湾标注为“中国(台湾)”,台湾总统赖清德说,希望韩国能够尊重台湾人民的意志,让双方携手前进,稳定区域和平,并促进区域繁荣发展。
综合台湾《联合报》《自由时报》报道,赖清德星期三(12月10日)出席亚洲民主人权奖颁奖典礼前受访时就此事说,台湾与韩国民间交流非常密切,经贸往来也很多,希望台湾与韩国能够维持友好关系,以促进两国各方面合作,增进两国的福祉。
赖清德说,在这种状况之下,希望韩国也能够尊重台湾人民的意志,让双方携手前进,稳定区域和平,并促进区域繁荣发展。
韩国自2月起在电子入境卡的“出发地”及“下一目的地”栏位将台湾标示为“CHINA(TAIWAN)”。台湾外交部上周发布新闻稿指出,这一标示与事实不符,不仅造成台湾民众填写时的混淆与不便,也引发对韩国政府此一不友善作法的失望与不满。
根据新闻稿,台湾外交部与驻韩代表处已多次向韩国政府严正关切并要求尽速更正,但迄今未获正面回应,深表遗憾。
台湾外交部呼吁韩国尽快修正电子入境卡中的错误标示,并称在问题未解决前,台方将继续与韩方沟通,为台湾民众的权益尽最大努力。

在哈尔滨马拉松夺冠的福建医科大学附属第一医院护士张水华,因在采访中表达希望领导支持调休跑马拉松引发舆论关注后,被医院以虚假理由申请调休等为由给予警告处分六个月。
综合极目新闻和《新京报》报道,网络流传的一份名为《福建医科大学附属第一医院关于对张水华的处理决定》的医院内部通报显示,张水华因违规兼职取酬、以不实理由申请调休,被处以警告处分六个月,并不得参与2025年度评优。
通报列举的主要问题包括:一,违规兼职取酬。张水华与361°体育用品有限公司签约代言并获得报酬,但未按规定履行报批手续,违反《福建医科大学附属第一医院职工兼职管理办法》。
二,张水华为参加马拉松比赛多次申请调班,并在2025年11月1日以虚假理由申请11月2日调休,实际前往湖北宜昌参赛,导致科室临时调配人手、增加同事负担,违反她与医院签订的《事业单位聘用合同》相关条款。
医院认为,张水华上述行为破坏正常工作秩序并造成恶劣影响,经研究决定给予她警告处分六个月,期间不得聘用到高于现在岗位和职员的等级,并取消她2025年度评优资格。极目新闻星期三(12月10日)从福建医科大学附属第一医院获悉,上述通报属实。
张水华今年8月底在哈尔滨马拉松夺冠后接受采访时哭诉希望单位领导支持她调休参加比赛,引发广泛讨论。有网民认为她利用周末参赛无可厚非,也有人指出她的调休意味着其他同事需要加班。
