卢森堡首相弗里登将在星期天（9月6日）到新加坡进行三天正式访问。这是他上任以来首次访问我国。

外交部星期六（5日）发文告说，弗里登（Luc Frieden）此次访新，体现新加坡和卢森堡之间的友好关系。

弗里登将在下星期一（7日）出席由黄循财总理主持的欢迎仪式，并在随后与他举行双边会谈。黄总理也将设午宴款待弗里登。

弗里登当天也将会见尚达曼总统。新卢两国去年庆祝建交50周年，尚达曼去年3月曾对卢森堡展开国事访问，并与弗里登会晤。

弗里登下星期二（8日）将在第48届新加坡讲座上发表演讲，题为“以自主为目标：变动世界中的欧洲”（Autonomy With Purpose: Europe in a Shifting World）。讲座由尤索夫伊萨东南亚研究院主办，国家发展部长徐芳达主持。

弗里登今年63岁，2023年出任卢森堡首相前，曾任财政部长、国防部长等职。

新卢两国都是全球金融中心，在经济和金融方面有着合作关系。根据资料，卢森堡在新加坡的企业近500家，双方2022年在服务贸易方面的总额为107亿元，双边货物贸易在2023年则达到5亿1900万元。

美加贸易争端致加拿大就业人数下滑

加拿大统计局星期五（9月4日）说，受美国与加拿大贸易争端影响，加拿大8月就业人数减少4万2000人，与4月至7月就业人数累计增加18万1000人的整体趋势形成显著反差。

新华社报道，加拿大统计局分析认为，8月就业人数减少与美国市场密切相关。一方面，加拿大依赖对美出口的行业面临较大不确定性，过去12个月这些行业平均裁员率为0.9%，高于同期其他行业0.7%的平均水平。

另一方面，美国近期挑起对加拿大的贸易争端，对部分加拿大进口商品加征关税，冲击相关行业和就业。

7月20日，美国宣布对从加拿大进口的数百项特定商品加征50%关税，相关措施于8月22日生效。双方随后展开贸易谈判，但在最后一刻谈判宣告破裂。

美方9月22日起对约200亿美元（约253亿新元）的加拿大汽车和钢铁等产品的进口关税提高至50%，加方也宣布将对价值276亿加元的700多种美国商品加征反制关税，其中钢铁和乳制品等领域的关税9月8日生效。

Kennedy acknowledges one measles death in Pennsylvania

• Kennedy says local coroner in Pennsylvania identified one measles-related death, disputes second case
• Pennsylvania health department reiterates that it has confirmed two measles-related deaths this year
• National data currently reflects no 2026 measles deaths, Kennedy says

NEW YORK, Sept 4 (Reuters) – U.S. Health Secretary Robert ​F. Kennedy Jr acknowledged on Friday that measles caused the recent death of an infant in Pennsylvania, ‌citing information from a county coroner, but suggested the federal government would not yet recognize the fatality in official data amid a fast-growing national outbreak.

Last month, Kennedy asked for two measles-related deaths reported by Pennsylvania’s health department to be removed from the CDC’s national tally of measles, questioning whether the virus was the cause, Reuters reported. ​CDC staffers had already accepted the state’s characterization of the deaths as linked to measles before Kennedy’s request.

Public health experts ​said the move amounted to extraordinary political interference in the authority of a state health department ⁠and an effort to minimize the risks of the highly infectious virus.

Kennedy posted on X on Friday that he ​was relying on information from the coroner in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where the two deaths occurred.

“The Lancaster County Coroner has now ​publicly stated that measles caused only the second infant’s death and has also publicly stated that the infant had Amish lethal microcephaly,” Kennedy wrote on X. He said that babies with that condition typically live about 6 months and the infant was approximately 2-months-old at death.

The Lancaster coroner ​rejected the determination of the statewide health department that a second infant also died from measles, Kennedy said.

Kennedy said the ​CDC’s health statistics agency still needed to receive and review records on measles deaths. At the moment, the national data does not reflect any ‌measles ⁠deaths in 2026, he said.

The CDC updated its website on Friday with a note explaining that it was re-evaluating how it classified measles deaths. “This work is intended to promote consistent classification and reporting of measles deaths across jurisdictions,” the CDC website said without providing details on why reevaluation was required.

A spokesperson for the Health and Human Services Department, which oversees CDC, did not ​immediately respond to questions about recording ​either of the Pennsylvania ⁠deaths.

Neil Ruhland, a spokesman for the Pennsylvania Department of Health, reiterated on Friday that the state had confirmed two measles-related deaths in the state’s outbreak. He did not provide details on ​the deaths or comment on Kennedy’s remarks. The Lancaster coroner’s office did not immediately respond to ​a request for ⁠comment.

U.S. measles cases have hit their highest level in more than three decades under President Donald Trump and Kennedy, his top health official and a long-time anti-vaccine activist. Kennedy has promoted the idea that vaccines, including the combined measles, mumps and rubella shot, ⁠are more ​dangerous than the diseases they prevent, despite decades of scientific evidence that the ​shots save lives.

Leading medical organizations say that Kennedy’s statements about vaccines and his policies as health secretary, including efforts to reduce the number of government-recommended childhood ​immunizations, have increased vaccine hesitancy, making outbreaks harder to curb.

中共政治局常委、中央纪委书记李希到贵州调研时强调，要抓深抓实全面从严治党和反腐败工作。

据新华社报道，李希星期二至星期四（9月1日至3日）到贵州调研时强调，纪检监察机关要坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，认真抓好中央纪委五次、六次全会精神贯彻落实，巩固拓展树立和践行正确政绩观学习教育成果，扎实开展“纪检监察工作规范化法治化正规化建设年”行动，以更高标准、更实举措推动纪检监察工作高质量发展。

李希星期三（9月2日）到遵义会议会址和遵义会议陈列馆参访时指出，要以红军长征胜利90周年为契机，传承红色基因，赓续红色血脉，凝心聚力走好新时代的长征路。

在遵义市播州区茅坝村生态农业科技示范基地、中国电信云计算贵州信息园数据中心，李希听取干部群众对正风肃纪反腐的意见建议，强调整治群众身边不正之风和腐败问题是为民造福的实事，要始终把老百姓的安危冷暖放在心上，以钉钉子精神惩治“蝇贪蚁腐”，着力抓好民生领域信访问题集中治理，常态化整治风腐问题，让人民群众有更多获得感幸福感安全感。

在贵阳市花溪区人民检察院，李希强调要坚持运用法治思维和法治方式防范化解矛盾纠纷，不断增强基层治理效能。

李希还到省纪委监委机关，详细了解工作进展情况，看望纪检监察干部。他星期四在贵阳主持召开座谈会时强调，纪检监察机关要抓实政治监督，压紧压实全面从严治党政治责任，以严明纪律保障换届风清气正。要抓实作风建设，锲而不舍落实中央八项规定精神，经常性查改政绩观偏差问题。

他提出，纪检监察机关要抓实一体推进“三不腐”（不敢腐、不能腐、不想腐），保持高压惩治不动摇，加强对权力配置、运行的规范和监督，增强新时代廉洁文化建设针对性有效性，强化科技赋能，不断铲除腐败滋生的土壤和条件。要抓实“三化”（规范化、法治化、正规化）建设年行动，聚焦重点任务，着力解决突出问题，锻造“四个过硬”（政治过硬、能力过硬、作风过硬、廉洁过硬）纪检监察铁军。

联合国支持展现非洲真实大小地图 美国唯一投反对票

联合国投票通过一项决议，弃用16世纪的墨卡托投影世界地图，转而采用能更准确反映各国真实面积的地图。

路透社报道，这项决议由非洲国家发起，旨在消除人们对非洲大陆边缘化的刻板印象。

联合国大会星期五（9月4日）以164票赞成、1票反对、6票弃权的压倒性多数，通过这项由西非国家多哥牵头、非洲联盟（AU）全力支持的“纠正地图（#CorrectTheMap）”历史性决议。

决议建议全球各国政府、学校、国际机构逐步弃用沿用了450多年的传统墨卡托投影（Mercator Projection）地图，转而采用能更真实反映非洲及全球各大陆实际相对面积的等积地图投影。

墨卡托投影会放大靠近极地的陆地面积，扭曲各地的相对大小。这使格陵兰岛在地图上看起来与非洲面积相近，但实际上非洲面积约为格陵兰岛的14倍。

美国是唯一投反对票的国家。美国指决议宣扬“意识形态议程”，并分散了人们对“国际和平、繁荣或友好关系等真正问题”的注意力。

多哥外长迪塞（Robert Dussey）在联合国4日投票前告诉路透社：“公平的世界始于公平的地图。”

多哥外交部发表声明说，决议不具法律约束力，“绝不挑战墨卡托投影在海事和航空导航中的应用”，这项投影在这些领域依然适用。

印度抽检发现一批狂犬病疫苗不合格 疑为假冒品

印度每年报告近6000起狂犬病死亡病例，应对这种病死率几乎为100%的人畜共患急性传染病，Abhayrab疫苗是第一道防御手段。 （档案照片）

路透社看到的一份印度政府文件显示，印度药品监管机构将一批广泛使用的狂犬病疫苗Abhayrab列为不合格产品，并怀疑可能是假冒品，原因是抽检疫苗未通过效价测试。

这是不到两年内，印度第二次发现疑似假冒Abhayrab疫苗。

印度每年报告近6000起狂犬病死亡病例，应对这种病死率几乎为100%的人畜共患急性传染病，Abhayrab疫苗是第一道防御手段。

8月27日，印度药品总局局长拉古万什致函各邦药品监管机构，要求它们对批号KE25012的Abhayrab疫苗的流通和分销保持“严密监控”，并在必要时采取监管行动。

文件显示，此前，位于卡索里（Kasauli）的政府中央药物实验室发现，Abhayrab疫苗的现场抽检样品未达到效价要求，并将其归类为“质量不达标”和“标签不当”药品。

虽然抽检样品通过了无菌、水分、鉴别测试，但实验室发现抽检样品与印度免疫学有限公司（Indian Immunologicals Ltd）此前提交的同款疫苗留存对照样品存在显著差异。

这些差异包括标签、图案设计、二维码验证、瓶盖颜色、许可证信息以及包装文字。

监管机构说，上述发现令人对抽检样品的“属性和真实性”产生怀疑，有必要依据印度《药品和化妆品法》调查是否属于假药。

路透社多次向印度免疫学公司和联邦监管机构寻求置评，均未获得回应。

印度免疫学公司在印度国内狂犬病疫苗市场占有40%的份额，该公司去年12月表示，过去20多年已向印度及其他国家供应超过2亿1000万剂Abhayrab狂犬病疫苗。

Alabama neighborhood comes together to give young boy a memorable trick-or-treat summer birthday

Residents of this otherwise normal neighborhood in Huntsville, Alabama, saw the strangest sight this summer: a boy dressed up like a banana.

“And I open the door, and he’s standing there with his little bag,” one neighbor told CBS News.

Leah Farrow told CBS News her son, Soren Griffin, is autistic. And although doorbells have always been his passion, unfortunately, she cannot exactly take Soren out “ding-dong-ditching.”

“He just likes ringing doorbells,” Farrow said. “I don’t know why. He likes being nosy.”

It’s why Halloween — that one time of year when you can just go up and push random doorbells — is by far Soren’s favorite holiday. It’s also why, for his 11th birthday this past July, his mother posted a note on Facebook.

“I was wondering if anyone would be open to letting [Soren] trick-or-treat at their house,” Farrow wrote. “… I would be happy to provide candy.”

She was hoping for three or four replies. Instead, more than 100 neighbors said yes, people she didn’t know.

“These aren’t my friends,” Farrow said. “I mean, now they are.”

So for his 11th birthday, Soren went door to door again and again in his banana costume. He rang in his new year until that Halloween basket had run over.

And what was most interesting is that no one took Farrow up on her offer to supply the candy.

“He got Doritos and Goldfish and Play-Doh and Lego sets,” Farrow said. “I was a little overwhelmed by the kindness because I’m like, how can I ever repay this?”

But neighbors said repayment was hardly necessary.

“You don’t often get the opportunity to directly help someone you don’t really know,” one neighbor said.

Added another: “To see that smile on that little boy’s face was miraculous.”

The U.S. Justice Department’s antitrust division was directed earlier this week to pause all work with the Canadian government as the trade dispute between the neighboring nations intensifies, according to a report.

The chief of the antitrust division’s international section, Lynda Marshall, ordered officials on Wednesday to halt all cooperation on cases and engagement on policy issues with Canadian authorities, without providing a reason for the directive, according to emails obtained by The Wall Street Journal.

Section chiefs in the antitrust division were also instructed in another email on Friday to provide lists outlining areas of cooperation with Canada by the end of the day, according to the newspaper.

The DOJ disputed the report, saying in a statement that the “alleged direction was never given to anyone.”

The division was asked to “temporarily hold off on a scheduled meeting on a specific investigation until the DOJ’s antitrust team had more time to prepare,” the department said.

This comes as the U.S. and Canada, which have been close allies for decades, continue to spar over President Donald Trump’s trade war against Ottawa and subsequent targeting of the U.S.’s northern neighbor, which most recently included the president’s executive order to rename Lake Ontario to “Lake America.”

Although the renaming only applies to the U.S. federal government, while Canada, other international bodies and U.S. states are not forced to follow the rebranding, the order adds to the ongoing tensions between the two countries that arose following Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025.

The trade war has led to tariffs on tens of billions of dollars in cross-border trade.

The Canadian government said it would impose retaliatory tariffs on the U.S. beginning Sept. 8 in response to the Trump administration’s new 50% tariffs on about $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, which took effect last month.

Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada “will match Washington’s new tariffs dollar for dollar in order to protect Canadian workers, farmers, families, and businesses.”
