It’s Day 4 of the Winter Olympics in Milan Cortina, where nine gold medals will be decided over the coming hours. Take a look at today’s action-packed schedule of events.

Here’s what else you need to know to get up to speed and on with your day.

1️⃣ Nancy Guthrie

A second reported ransom deadline has passed in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing for more than a week. An alleged note from her possible abductors demanded $6 million by 5 p.m. on Monday and threatened Nancy’s life if the family did not pay. It’s unclear if any financial transaction has taken place. Savannah Guthrie recently posted another plea on social media, saying the family is “at an hour of desperation” but believes her mother is “still out there.” The FBI has appealed to the public for tips and has yet to identify a suspect or person of interest in the disappearance.

2️⃣ Epstein files

Ghislaine Maxwell, jailed for 20 years for conspiring with Jeffrey Epstein to abuse minors, sent a message to President Donald Trump on Monday saying that if he were to grant her clemency, she would clear his name of any wrongdoing related to Epstein. The extraordinary overture, disclosed by Maxwell’s lawyer during her virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee, raises further questions about accountability and transparency. Trump has not ruled out the possibility of granting Maxwell a pardon or commutation. Meanwhile, lawmakers on the committee accuse Maxwell of attempting to buy her clemency by refusing to testify.

3️⃣ Mask ban

A federal judge in California on Monday temporarily blocked the state from enforcing its ban on most law enforcement officers from wearing masks during operations. US District Judge Christina Snyder in Los Angeles granted the Trump administration’s request for a preliminary injunction, finding that the ban “unlawfully discriminates” against federal agents. Snyder, however, kept in place another law requiring federal officers operating in the state to display either their name or badge number. The ruling is a partial win for the Trump administration, which challenged the policies in federal court last year, insisting both be thrown out to protect federal agents.

4️⃣ DHS funding

Republican and Democratic negotiators have made little progress on a funding deal for the Department of Homeland Security as they face an agency shutdown by the end of the week. Democrats have sought to make major reforms to ICE and Border Patrol, but Republicans are refusing their key demands. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries blamed Republicans for the stalled negotiations on a deal to fund DHS, which includes FEMA and TSA. “Either they’re going to agree to dramatically reform the way in which ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies are conducting themselves … or they’re making the explicit decision to shut down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down TSA,” Jeffries warned.

5️⃣ US-Canada bridge

President Trump is threatening to block the opening of a new bridge connecting the US and Canada, again lashing out at his country’s northern neighbor over a range of economic issues as the rift between Washington and Ottawa deepens. Trump said he would “not allow” the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge, a 1.5-mile structure connecting Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, “until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them.” Major construction on the bridge is complete, and it’s expected to open this year after a period of testing. CNN has reached out to the White House and Canadian officials for comment.

为保障国家安全 乌克兰争取2027年加入欧盟

2026年2月10日 17:17 / 联合早报

（布鲁塞尔／莫斯科综合电）知情者透露，欧盟正准备一系列方案，把乌克兰入盟安排纳入未来的和平协议中。这些方案包括提前为乌克兰提供欧盟成员资格所带来的保护，以及立即让它享有部分成员国权利。

同时，欧盟将向乌克兰明确列出推进正式入盟程序所须采取的步骤和时间表，以便为乌克兰提供更明确的长期保障。

欧盟委员会发言人向彭博社证实，基辅未来入盟的安排是和平协议讨论的一部分。欧盟目前已通过深化全面自贸协定等机制，加强与候选国的制度衔接。

乌克兰此前与美国拟定一份20点和平计划草案提出，目标在2027年加入欧盟，并在过渡期获得部分成员权利。乌总统泽连斯基多次强调，欧盟成员资格是国家安全的重要保障。

另一方面，俄罗斯外交部副部长格鲁什科说，解决俄乌冲突的任何和平协议，也必须考虑俄安全保障问题。尽管乌克兰的安全关切应被重视，但若忽视俄安全利益，协议将难以达成。

他重申，俄方的核心要求包括禁止乌克兰加入北约、反对北约国家在乌部署部队，并停止利用乌领土对俄构成“安全威胁”。

俄乌代表近期在美国斡旋下于阿联酋举行两轮会谈，下一轮会谈将在美国举行，日期未定。

Democrats reject latest White House offer on ICE reforms with Homeland Security funding hanging in the balance

February 10, 2026 / 6:54 AM EST / CBS/AP

Washington — Democratic leaders say a proposal from the White House is “incomplete and insufficient” as they demand new restrictions on President Trump’s immigration crackdown and threaten a shutdown of the Homeland Security Department.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said in a statement late Monday that a White House counterproposal to the list of demands they transmitted over the weekend “included neither details nor legislative text” and doesn’t address “the concerns Americans have about ICE’s lawless conduct.” The White House proposal wasn’t released publicly.

The Democrats’ statement comes with time running short, with another partial government shutdown threatening to begin Saturday. Among the Democrats’ demands are a requirement for judicial warrants, better identification of DHS officers, new use-of-force standards and a stop to racial profiling. They say such changes are necessary after two protesters were fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis last month.

But Republicans depict the demands as “unrealistic and unserious.”

Earlier Monday, Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., had expressed optimism about the rare negotiations between Democrats and the White House, saying there was “forward progress.”

Thune said it was a good sign that the two sides were trading papers, and “hopefully they can find some common ground here.”

But coming to an agreement on the charged issue of immigration enforcement will be difficult, especially with rank-and-file lawmakers in both parties skeptical about finding common ground.

Republicans have balked at the Democrats’ requests and some have demands of their own, including the addition of legislation that would require proof of citizenship before Americans can register to vote and restrictions on cities they say don’t do enough to crack down on illegal immigration.

And many Democrats who are furious about Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s aggressive crackdown have said they won’t vote for another penny of Homeland Security funding until enforcement is radically scaled back.

“Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward,” Jeffries said earlier Monday. “Period. Full stop.”

Congress is trying to renegotiate the DHS spending bill after Mr. Trump agreed to a Democratic request that it be separated out from a larger spending measure that became law last week. That package extended Homeland Security funding at current levels only through Feb. 13, creating a brief window for action as the two parties discuss new restrictions on ICE and other federal officers.

Democrats made the demands for new restrictions on ICE and other federal law enforcement after ICU nurse Alex Pretti was shot and killed by a U.S. Border Patrol officer in Minneapolis on Jan. 24, and some Republicans suggested that new restrictions were necessary. Renee Good was shot by ICE agents on Jan. 7.

While he agreed to separate the funding, Mr. Trump hasn’t publicly responded to the Democrats’ specific demands.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said late last week that the Trump administration is willing to discuss some items on the Democrats’ list but “others don’t seem like they are grounded in any common sense, and they are nonstarters for this administration.”

Schumer and Jeffries have said they want immigration officers to remove their masks, to show identification and to better coordinate with local authorities. They have also demanded a stricter use-of-force policy for the federal officers, legal safeguards at detention centers and a prohibition on tracking protesters with body-worn cameras.

Among other demands, Democrats say Congress should end indiscriminate arrests, “improve warrant procedures and standards,” ensure the law is clear that officers cannot enter private property without a judicial warrant and require that it’s verified that the person is not a U.S. citizen before a person can be detained.

Republicans have said they support the requirement for DHS officers to have body-worn cameras – language that was in the original DHS bill – but have balked at many of the other Democratic asks.

“Taking the masks off ICE officers and agents, the reason we can’t do that is that it would subject them to great harm, their families at great risk because people are doxing them and targeting them,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., on Monday. “We’ve got to talk about things that are reasonable and achievable.”

Tennessee Sen. Bill Hagerty said on “Fox News Sunday” that Democrats are “trying to motivate a radical left base.”

“The left has gone completely overboard, and they’re threatening the safety and security of our agents so they cannot do their job,” Hagerty said.

In addition to ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the homeland security bill includes funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Transportation Security Administration. If DHS shuts down, Thune said last week, “there’s a very good chance we could see more travel problems” similar to the 43-day government closure last year.

Lawmakers in both parties have suggested they could separate out funding for ICE and Border Patrol and pass the rest of it by Friday. But Thune has been cool to that idea, saying instead that Congress should pass another short-term extension for all of DHS while they negotiate the possible new restrictions.

“If there’s additional time that’s needed, then hopefully Democrats would be amenable to another extension,” Thune said.

Many Democrats are unlikely to vote for another extension. But Republicans could potentially win enough votes in both chambers from Democrats if they feel hopeful about negotiations.

“The ball is in the Republicans’ court,” Jeffries said Monday.

On CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday, Jeffries said, “Either (Republicans are) going to agree to dramatically reform the way in which ICE and other immigration enforcement agencies are conducting themselves so that they’re behaving like every other law enforcement agency in the country, or they’re making the explicit decision to shut down the Coast Guard, shut down FEMA and shut down TSA, and that would be very unfortunate.”

As President Donald Trump calls for sweeping changes to election law — including saying that Republicans should “take over the voting” — Republicans in Congress are planning to vote this week on the SAVE America Act, which would make massive changes to how Americans vote ahead of November’s midterms.

韩国将小幅提高医学院招生名额 缓解短缺问题

发布时间：2026年2月10日 20:43 | 来源：联合早报

韩国政府星期二（2月10日）公布一项逐步增加医学院招生名额的计划，旨在缓解该国医生长期短缺的问题。

彭博社报道，此前，韩国上届政府因推动大幅扩招而引发了医疗行业长达18个月的空前罢工。

根据方案，韩国医学院明年的招生名额将增至3548人，较多年来的基准名额增加了16%。此后，名额将分阶段增加，到2030年达到3871人。政府承诺将新建医学院，以缓解医生短缺问题。

根据经济合作与发展组织（OECD）2025年发布的卫生统计数据，韩国每千人拥有2.7名临床医生，远低于发达经济体的平均水平。

此次增招生规模较上一届政府提出的增加2000个名额的计划有所缩减。此前的提议曾引发实习医生大规模罢工，医学生也从2024年2月开始抵制入学。最终，该提议被取消。

日本大选中当选女性议员减少 | 联合早报

日本大选中当选女性议员减少

法新社报道，作为日本首位女首相，高市早苗在星期天的大选中大获全胜，但她似乎并不热衷于将自己的领导风格与性别议题联系起来。

目前，女性议员仅占众议院议员总数的15%，在465个席位中赢得68席。这低于2024年选举的73席。

星期天的选举中，女性候选人占比达到创纪录的24%，但这仅比2024年高出一个百分点。

在日本，性别角色根深蒂固，女性通常被期望照顾家庭，即使她们工作也是如此。

东海大学教授、政治学专家辻由希告诉法新社：“高市早苗就任首相似乎并没有促使自民党大幅增加女性候选人的数量。”

在当选议员的68名女性中，有39名来自自民党，仅占该党315名议员总数的12%多一点。

高市早苗是一位坚定的保守派，她反对修改已婚夫妇必须使用相同的姓氏的法律。

东京大学政治学教授内山融说：“高市早苗以其保守立场而闻名，因此她不太可能将精力投入到诸如促进多元化、平等和包容等政策上。”

在世界经济论坛发布的《2025年全球性别差距报告》中，日本在148个国家中排名第118位。

法国建议对中国征税以应对大量廉价商品涌入

2026年2月10日 18:09 / 联合早报

（巴黎／布鲁塞尔综合电）法国政府星期一（2月9日）发表的战略报告指出，欧盟应考虑采取前所未有的措施，以应对廉价商品大量涌入，包括对所有入口的中国商品统一征收30％的关税，或让欧元对人民币贬值30％。

报告指出，来自中国的竞争压力日益激增，中国企业正不断扩大市场占有率，甚至进入一些曾由欧洲国家主导的行业领域。

报告说，汽车、机床、化工和电池等欧洲工业核心领域正受到直接的威胁，有四分之一的法国出口和三分二的德国生产面临中国竞争。欧洲制造商反映，中国产品质量的提升和持续存在的30％至40％成本优势，加剧了这个情况。

法国政府战略与规划高级专员署署长博纳警告，如果不采取行动，北京的工业进步可能将欧洲推入“破坏性毁灭”的恶性循环。他表示，欧盟现有的贸易保护措施不足，呼吁做出重大的政策改变。

不过，博纳坦承，无论是推动欧元贬值，还是促成人民币升值，这么做的难度都要高于征收关税。然而，要加征关税也很不容易，这必须获得多数欧盟成员国的支持才可执行。

冯德莱恩支持优先扶持欧企

另一方面，欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩周一表明支持在战略领域优先扶持欧洲企业，以抵御外国竞争对手，从而提升欧盟的整体竞争力。

欧盟将在2月较迟时候提出一项建议，在关键行业的公共采购中优先考虑欧洲企业。

冯德莱恩在致欧盟领导人的信函中强调，欧洲必须能够捍卫战略利益，同时支持本土生产。她说：“欧洲优先是实现这一目标的必要条件”，并认为此举将有助在战略领域创造市场优势。

法新社取得的一份草案显示，欧盟希望制定条规，要求在汽车和绿色科技等领域竞标公共采购合同的企业，必须证明他们的产品中有一定比例是在欧洲制造的。

欧盟工业策略专员塞茹尔内认为，欧洲如今应该制定自己版本的“买美国货法案”和“中国制造法案”来保护欧洲的企业了。塞茹尔内本月发表的一篇评论文章获得1100多位首席执行官和商界领袖联署，他在文章中强调，欧洲公共资金的使用，必须促进欧洲的生产和就业。

不过，一些欧盟伙伴对此持怀疑态度，意大利和德国虽然支持“欧洲制造”，但认为不应过于激进。土耳其总统埃尔多安和日本企业也对这项提议可能产生的影响表示担忧，尤其是对汽车业的冲击。

上周，爱沙尼亚、芬兰、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、荷兰和瑞典一起警告，制定保护欧洲工业的条规，会使监管机制更加复杂，提醒任何措施必须适度，并且清楚会带来怎样的后果。

韩国警方突袭情报机构 调查无人机飞入朝鲜事件

调查人员星期二（2月10日）突击搜查韩国情报机构，以调查韩国政府是否与朝鲜边境无人机入侵事件有关。

法新社报道，平壤方面称，今年1月，他们在工业中心开城附近击落一架侦察无人机，并指责首尔派遣该无人机搜集“重要目标”的情报。

韩国最初否认官方参与此事。总统李在明说，这种行为无异于“向朝鲜开枪”。

一个由军警组成的联合工作组星期二说，他们正在调查三名现役军人和一名情报机构工作人员，以“彻底查明真相”。

调查人员突击搜查了18个相关地点，包括国防情报司令部和国家情报院。

与前任尹锡悦相比，李在明对朝鲜采取了更为温和的政策。

尹锡悦曾被指控在2024年使用无人机向朝鲜散发宣传单，企图挑起朝鲜的反抗，以便让自己有借口宣布戒严，借此巩固权力。

李在明誓言要通过消除挑衅行为来修复与朝鲜的关系，甚至暗示韩国或许应该道歉。

他在去年12月说：“我觉得我应该道歉，但我犹豫要不要公开说出来。

“我担心如果我道歉，可能会被用来作为意识形态斗争的素材，或者被指责亲朝。”

韩国统一部长官郑东荣说，今年1月的无人机入侵事件可能与仍效忠于前强硬派领导人尹锡悦的政府官员有关。

已有三人因涉嫌参与无人机事件而被起诉。其中一人公开承认对此事负责，称行动是为了探测朝鲜平山铀矿加工厂的辐射水平。

美允孟加拉国纺织品享零税率 换取市场准入 | 联合早报

美国总统特朗普政府宣布与孟加拉国达成一项贸易协议，美方将下调对孟加拉国纺织品的关税并提供零税率优惠，以换取孟加拉国开放市场并承诺改善劳工权益与环境保护。 （路透社）

（华盛顿综合电）美国与孟加拉国宣布达成协议，美国将把对这个全球第二大成衣制造国出口商品征收的对等关税从20%下调至19%，并承诺建立一项机制，让来自孟加拉国的部分纺织品和服装产品可享受零税率。

白宫与孟加拉国星期一（2月9日）发布联合声明，宣布这项消息。

孟加拉临时政府的首席顾问尤努斯发声明称，该协议已于星期一签署，并将在双方完成通知程序后正式生效。他补充称，这项协议是在自去年4月开始、历时九个月的谈判后达成的。

纺织与成衣生产约占孟加拉国出口总额的80%。根据新协议，华盛顿“承诺建立一套机制，使来自孟加拉国的部分纺织品和服装可享受零对等关税税率”，但相关优惠将与美国对孟加拉国出口的纺织品规模挂钩，包括美国产棉花和人造纤维等投入品，在一定配额范围内给予优惠待遇。

白宫说，作为交换，孟加拉国同意向美国工业和农产品提供更大程度的市场准入，包括化学品、医疗设备、汽车零部件、大豆等产品。

孟加拉国并承诺解决部分限制美国商品进入当地市场的非关税壁垒，例如接受符合美国监管标准的车辆，以及获得美国政府认证的药品。此外，孟加拉国也承诺遵守国际认可的劳工权利，并加强环境保护。

孟加拉国将于星期四（12日）举行大选，选出新的领导层。该国自2024年8月爆发大规模政治动荡、时任总理哈西娜在抗议浪潮中辞职并逃往印度后，一直由临时政府执政。此次选举被视为在近一年半政治过渡期后，重启国家政治秩序的关键一步。
