Bush dynasty delivers another blow to GOP in Texas Senate battle as family member breaks ranks

The son of George H.W. Bush and brother of George W. Bush publicly backed Talarico over Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate race

Another member of the Bush family dynasty, Neil Bush, is throwing his weight behind Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico, saying he voted against a political style he believes has “damaged our country.”

“I have never posted a political message on Facebook, not wanting to offend friends whose views may be very different than mine. I’m breaking that tradition because I voted early today, and I voted for James Talarico for the United States Senate,” Neil Bush wrote on Facebook Tuesday.

“My vote was motivated by two things: deep concern about Ken Paxton’s record and genuine admiration for the character and principles I see in James Talarico.”

Bush, the son of former President George H.W. Bush and brother of former President George W. Bush , broke with his family’s longstanding Republican political tradition in backing the Democrat.

Former President George W. Bush has maintained friendly relationships with Democratic former presidents, but his relationship with President Donald Trump has been strained since the 2016 Republican presidential primary, when Trump repeatedly attacked his brother Jeb Bush and mocked their mother, former first lady Barbara Bush.

“I believe Donald Trump and those who have enabled him have done enormous damage to the Republican Party. I worry about a political culture in which loyalty to an individual takes precedence over loyalty to principle, and where those who hold power begin to believe they are no longer accountable,” he added. “But my vote today was about much more than opposition to Ken Paxton.”

Neil is the second member of the Bush family to recently throw his support behind Talarico. Barbara Bush, daughter of former President George W. Bush, contributed $2,500 on Sept. 23 to Lone Star Rising PAC, a super PAC supporting the Democrat, according to federal campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital.

Lone Star Rising PAC is one of the major outside groups spending to support Talarico and oppose Paxton in the closely contested Texas Senate race, according to federal campaign finance records.

The younger Bush’s support for a Democrat comes as his brother, former President George W. Bush, has increasingly embraced bipartisan relationships in his post-presidency, most recently attending the opening of former President Barack Obama’s presidential center in Chicago in June.

Iowa’s cancer problem is scrambling the midterms

2026-10-24T16:00:16.613Z / CNN

As the debate season kicked off in Iowa’s heated gubernatorial race, one question seemed to animate and, in some ways, unify the candidates.

“What are the immediate and specific steps that you would take to combat Iowa’s cancer crisis?” the moderator asked the Democrat Rob Sand and Republican Zach Lahn, who both said it was a foundational issue for their campaigns — before each accusing the other of not doing enough.

Two weeks later, Iowa’s elevated cancer rates and their potential links to farm pollution came up again, at a debate in the competitive race for Senate.

The subject would have been unimaginable just a few years ago in Iowa, the country’s biggest corn and hog-producing state.

But the role of “Big Ag” has become a political lightning rod amid what is being described as a public health crisis. Iowa suffers from the second-highest cancer rate in the US and is one of only three states where the rate is rising.

For the first time, tackling the environmental causes of cancer has been included in Iowa campaign platforms for both parties. Republicans and Democrats up and down the ticket have staked out positions vowing to take on the issue.

In the governor’s race,Lahn, a farmer-turned-candidate backed by the “Make America Healthy Again” wing of the GOP, and Democrat Sand, a moderate lawyer, have made campaign trail promises to clean up water and regulate chemicals.

In the tight Senate race, Republican Congresswoman Ashley Hinson and Democratic State Representative Josh Turek have wrestled with the question too, both calling this month for more funding to ensure safe drinking water.

This year, nearly $30 million has been spent airing more than 100 campaign ads in Iowa that mention cancer, according to AdImpact data. In the last midterms in 2022, there was just one, backed by a little under $200,000.

“Nine months ago, there was no candidate talking about this except me, and now literally every candidate is featuring it in their campaign,” said Chris Jones, a long-time water quality advocate and now Democratic candidate for state agriculture secretary.

Yet both parties face the awkward challenge of balancing criticism of “Big Ag” practices with Iowa’s economic reliance on the sector. On the left, Jones argues Democrats have not been bold enough to take on Big Ag, ceding ground to Republicans energized by MAHA. He has gone further than any of the other candidates on the ballot in calling for more regulation and a move away from dependence on corn and soybean production.

“You’ve got an issue here that should be a natural issue for Democrats: Clean environment,” he told CNN. But the party was “too chicken to take this issue up,” he said.

But divisions within the Republican Party dent its credibility, argues Sara Schreiber of the League of Conservation Voters, with some MAHA voters disillusioned by Trump’s unkept promises for their movement.

“They want elected officials to be responsive” to their cause – health and the environment chief among them – “and they’re not just going to be partisan,” she said.

Iowa’s Health Department attributes much of its soaring cancer rates to several lifestyle factors: Obesity, alcohol and smoking chief among them. But it acknowledged that environmental exposures could play a role, inflaming Iowans who see cancer in their community.

Environmental advocates and some farmers highlight the concentration of nitrate from thousands of tons of livestock manure that leaks into the state’s waters as a key culprit.

A state cancer report showing Iowa’s sobering rates –– the fastest-rising in the country — “was really the game changer,” for average Iowans, said Zach Smith, a farmer and founding member of the Lobe Rangers, an advocacy group that campaigns for stronger government action on environmental toxins.

“This wave of momentum and energy came in. But we need to actually turn it into something meaningful with real legislation,” said Smith, an independent voter.“That’s what we’re interested in — getting the public wound up enough where they’re willing to vote.”

That the state’s Republican Party has emphasized environmental issues this election speaks both to the perceived scale of the problem and the shifting political coalitions.

“It used to be a kind of liberal, tree-hugger type thing,” said James Hepp, another Lobe Rangers founder and a Republican. “It had that stigma where if you talked to any environment, you were a tree hugger, but now I think you’re just an informed citizen trying to do what’s best.”

Many Iowans who spoke to CNN credited the momentum to the MAHA movement, which threw its support behind Lahn, powering his surprise primary victory over the Trump-endorsed GOP Rep. Randy Feenstra.

MAHA Action, a political advocacy group run by longtime Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ally and book publisher Tony Lyons, put $1.5 million towards Lahn’s campaign, and boasts that he was the PAC’s first 2026 endorsement.

“MAHA was the first to believe in Zach Lahn, and the Iowa Republicans proved us right,” Lyons said in a statement. “November is where we prove we can win.”

Yet there is distrust over the party’s commitment. Lahn has had to wrestle with GOP action in Washington, where the Trump administration ordered more domestic production of pesticides and rolled back a host of environmental regulations.

“I was one of the first people to come out and say that this was the wrong move to sign that executive order,” on more US pesticide production, Lahn told CBS’ “Face the Nation” this month. “I think that if we could give the president the advice on that, that he would understand that better.”

But David Murphy, a MAHA-aligned Democrat who supported RFK Jr.’s presidential run, says he’s skeptical of Lahn because of the disappointing Republican record on MAHA under Trump.

“I fundamentally think that the Trump administration and Republicans have screwed up a major opportunity that RFK Jr. endorsed,” said Murphy, a fifth-generation Iowan who now works on Jones’ agriculture secretary campaign.

In one of the most competitive Senate races in the country, allies of Turek —who was born with Spina Bifida linked to his father’s exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam — have raised the subject to attack his Republican opponent.

“Across America, cancer rates are going down, but in Iowa they’re going up. As a doctor, I cannot ignore what is happening,” says Dr. Selden Spencer of Huxley, Iowa, in an ad from a Democratic super PAC with nearly $3 million spent in airtime since September.

It goes on to criticize Hinson for accepting campaign contributions from accused polluters.

Hinson’s campaign did not address the claims in the ad when asked. But this week, she joined with Democratic Rep. Hillary Scholten of Michigan to introduce legislation aimed at improving access to early detection cancer screenings.

“So many Iowa families have been touched by cancer, including mine. Iowa’s rising cancer rates are unacceptable, and we have to do everything we can to reverse this trend,” Hinson wrote on social media.

Republicans are also grappling with internal fractures driven by the MAHA movement, when pro-business and public health interests collide.

One key point of contention is glyphosate — an herbicide commonly known as RoundUp. While many Iowans believe nitrate levels from manure are causing health problems, there are significant divides over the herbicide between farmers and MAHA activists, who say it is also driving cancer rates across the country.

“The reality is that we have all had a lot of exposure to glyphosate,” said Smith, “as a lot of farmers have.” Disagreement over the chemical has created a dividing line that has alienated farmers — many of whom say it is necessary to keep millions of crops safe through each farming season — from the broader MAHA message, he said.

The science on glyphosate and health risks is far from definitive. The Environmental Protection Agency is undergoing a routine review of its safety this year, but the issue has been supercharged by Kennedy, who has a history fighting broad use of the pesticide.

Reflecting the internal divisions, the Republican candidate for Iowa agriculture secretary, Mike Naig, has criticized Lahn, his party’s gubernatorial candidate, on the subject.

“This is more complex than what some want to make it, and I think you’ve got some who have decided it’s a political issue. And I think that can be very dangerous,” he said in August.

Amid fissures on the right, Democrats are leaning into the issue. It’s“**unsurprising that one of the stronger MAHA movements” emerged in Iowa given the incidence of cancer there, said Lauren French of Senate Majority PAC, the Democratic super PAC behind the ads in the Turek-Hinson race.

But while the burgeoning movement is “leaning more Republican at the moment,” she sees an opening. For Democrats, talking about Big Ag chemicals“fits into the larger issue of corruption,” she said, nodding to another major voter concern this cycle.

“The problem for Republicans in Iowa, is that they have a long history of being on the wrong side of this. They chose to align themselves with the companies that are doing the poisoning of the water,” she said.

Some Democrats, however, also face scrutiny. Lahn has accused Sand of being beholden to agricultural interests and accused him of taking money from a donor “caught polluting your drinking water” — claims vigorously contested by Sand’s campaign.

In the closing weeks of the race, Sand has held a roundtable with cancer survivors in West Des Moines, discussing his plans to tackle the problem and pledging to “appoint a Cancer Task Force.”

“Rob Sand is the only candidate in the race with a plan to address those concerns,” said Emma O’Brien, the deputy campaign manager. “Meanwhile, Zach Lahn supports the One Big Beautiful Bill, which cuts funding for cancer research, and wants to ban mRNA vaccines, which have been found to be a promising treatment for cancer.”

Lahn’s campaign did not reply to CNN’s requests for comment.

A poll released this week from the Cook Political Report, in partnership with New River Strategies and GS Strategy Group, has Sand with a clear lead over Lahn in the contest for governor.

A CNN poll of polls in Iowa this week shows the Senate race in a dead heat.

杰克逊梅开二度 率维拉送曼市英超首败

发布/2026年10月24日 23:03

https://news-multimedia-1393112320.cos.ap-guangzhou.myqcloud.com/babc3117c71a99287ee1ca6aa8a46cc9bd5a784c727de62217a519ef82bc89dd

今夏从切尔西转会至阿斯顿维拉的杰克逊，已在英超攻进四球，成为球队的火力依仗。 （路透社）

凭借杰克逊（Jackson）梅开二度，阿斯顿维拉（Aston Villa）在新加坡时间星期六（10月24日）晚上举行的英超联赛，主场以2比1战胜曼市（Manchester City），送给对方赛季联赛首败，并取得双方交手的三连胜。

由于今夏核心球员离开，本赛季英超三连败开局的维拉一度跌至积分榜第19位，但球队近六场比赛保持不败很快回到正轨。此役正值埃梅里（Emery）执教维拉四周年，他不仅带队取得赛季英超主场首胜，还终结曼市开局七连胜的纪录。

开场仅六分钟，曼市后防便送大礼，中卫格伊（Guehi）停球失误给到维拉反击的机会，从左路杀入禁区的杰克逊，冷静晃开防守球员后，小角度爆射破门，帮助主队取得1比0的梦幻开局。

杰克逊第32分钟再度杀穿曼市后防，回防的格伊无奈对其犯规以阻止维拉攻势，最终吃到黄卡和送出自由球。维拉小将曼赞比（Manzambi）在约20米处射出一脚高炮，曼市逃过一劫，半场仅以一球落后。

易边再战，曼市第52分钟开出前场定位球，恩迪亚耶（Ndiaye）送出高质量传中，哈兰德（Haaland）头球破门，将比分追至1比1。连续七轮破门狂进九球的哈兰德，成功追平个人英超连场进球的纪录，继续领跑联赛射脚榜。

不过，维拉八分钟后便再次取得领先，替补登场的姆巴耶（Mbaye）右路倒三角传中，跟进的杰克逊禁区顶弧位置轰出一脚贴地斩，完成梅开二度。落后的曼市在最后时刻频频发起攻势，但始终未能攻破维拉门将铃木彩艳的十指关，只好以1比2吞下本季联赛首败。

这场失利也让曼市无缘英超八连胜开局，先赛一轮下继续以21分领跑积分榜，但只领先当天晚些时候出征的阿申纳（Arsenal）三分。

华侨中学（高中部）二年级学生赵德亮执导的微电影《不懂》，主角是一个刚和家人移民到新加坡的青年梓凯。初到陌生的城市，由于语言不通，正处青春期的他一度感到彷徨失措，后来通过街舞找到自我表达的方式，结交新朋友，对这片土地产生归属感。

这部作品的主演、华侨中学中三学生甘劲，就是现实生活中的“街舞少年”。制作团队希望借他的故事，刻画新移民青年的困境，让更多人听见少年的声音。短片《不懂》，凭新颖的叙事角度和细腻的镜头，在本届“新加坡微电影大赛”中横扫三个奖项，夺得学生组金奖、网络人气奖铜奖，以及最佳导演奖。

学生们利用6月假期完成拍摄和制作，偶尔还得拍到凌晨三四点钟。赵德亮说：“我们花了三天三夜时间拍摄，但是最终成片只有10分钟，删掉了一些很喜欢的镜头。”

第六届“新加坡微电影大赛”颁奖典礼星期六（10月24日）在新加坡华族文化中心举行。本届大赛以“我的新加坡声音”为主题，共收到来自80名参赛者的84份作品。

参赛者年龄介于14岁至73岁。方言、地铁广播、小贩中心的吵杂、飞机引擎的轰鸣，各种熟悉的声音都成为创作者的灵感，让他们拍出本地人的日常生活与文化认同。

约三成参赛者使用生成式人工智能技术

还有一些声音和画面，是由科技合成或生成的。约三成参赛者在创作过程中使用生成式人工智能技术来生成音乐、音效和视觉元素。72岁的曾瑞华就用AI辅助生成影片 《把记忆收好》结尾的医院场景，克服无法在医院拍摄的困难。这也是他第六次参赛。

数码发展及新闻部长杨莉明以主宾身份出席颁奖典礼。她致辞时指出，科技的发展让更多创作者能够表达自己的想法，使创作机会不再局限于少数群体。“无论工具如何改变，好的作品始终离不开创作者的观察、思考和创意。”

杨莉明说：“讲述本土故事，让我们透过其他国人的视角来看新加坡，并有助于保存那些构成我们共同遗产的经历、传统和回忆。”

比赛分公开组和学生组，评审从两组作品选出金、银、铜奖，另有“年度新加坡网络短片奖”“网络人气奖”“最佳导演”“最佳演员”“最佳创意”和“最佳环境主题”六个特别奖项。

许多获奖作品以弱势群体或社会议题作切入点 聚焦人文关怀

不少获奖作品以弱势群体或社会议题作为切入点，聚焦现代社会中的人文关怀。本地导演曹峻铭执导的反霸凌影片《稻草压命》获得年度新加坡网络短片奖。

国阵造势大会公布候选人 马华不满议席锐减集体离席

2026年10月24日 23:51

马华公会总会长魏家祥不满国阵事先未告知星期六（10月24日）的造势大会将公布候选人名单，加上马华竞选议席大幅减少，因此率领党员集体离席抗议。 （取自《东方日报》网站）

马来西亚国民阵线星期六（10月24日）晚举行马六甲州选举造势大会，并公布候选人名单。马华公会因未事先被通知，加上不满议席被削减，马华总会长魏家祥率领党员集体离席抗议。

《东方日报》报道，魏家祥之后在场外召开记者会说，他是在星期五（23日）晚上9时，才接获国阵执行秘书的通知，邀请马华出席国阵竞选机制推介礼。当时，对方告知不会公布候选人名单。

“但我抵达现场后，同志却告知我，今晚将宣布候选人名单，而且是由马六甲州首席部长宣布。”

魏家祥说，在马华完全未获征询、双方也未进行讨论的情况下，国阵便将原本分配给马华竞选的议席全数让给国民联盟，令马华极为不满。

他说，类似的情况在柔佛和森美兰州选中不曾发生，国阵成员党都会就议席分配进行磋商。但在马六甲，双方仅进行过一次讨论，之后马华便不清楚谈判进展，直到后来才被告知议席分配已敲定。

魏家祥强调，马华不认同有关议席分配方式，认为国阵必须尊重马华。由于事发突然，马华才决定集体离场抗议。

至于马华是否会参与马六甲州选，魏家祥说，将视未来几天的谈判进展再作决定。

马六甲州议会共有28个议席。国阵星期六晚宣布将在第16届马六甲选举中竞选21席，巫统将上阵18席，马华两席，国大党一席。较早前，国阵已宣布将在马六甲州选中与国盟合作。

马华在2021年的马六甲州选共上阵七个州议席，只赢得两席。

（布鲁塞尔/巴黎/罗马综合电）在法国、意大利、西班牙等欧洲国家爆发大规模学生示威并演变成暴力冲突后，30多名欧洲议会议员要求欧盟委员会紧急调查社交媒体在煽动骚乱中的角色，并呼吁欧盟须做好准备，在万不得已时将屏蔽社媒平台作为最后防线。

30多名议员周五（10月23日）联署一封信函，敦促欧盟委员会动用数码内容监管法规，要求社媒平台交出非法内容传播情况以及推荐算法起作用的数据。

他们指出，连串暴力事件引发重大疑问，即社媒在号召集会、直播示威和传播相关影像方面发挥了多大推波助澜的作用，以及这些内容可能带来多少收益。

他们也要求欧盟委员会启动《数码服务法案》的危机应对机制，采取适度且有针对性的措施，包括在万不得已的情况下暂停社媒平台的服务。

法国部署7万警力严阵以待 极右翼勒庞选情看涨

面对星期六（10月24日）的新一轮示威，法国当局全面戒备。内政部长努涅兹在巴黎的记者会上指出，社媒已出现煽动暴力和抢劫商店的言论，为防止骚乱重演，当局在全国各地部署约7万名警员戒备。

他警告，对于暴徒、抢掠者以及所有实施暴力行为的人，当局绝不妥协让步。

此时正值法国总统大选倒计时六个月的关键时刻，频繁的社会动荡正深刻重塑政局走向。最新民调显示，极右翼候选人勒庞处于领先地位，且近期一系列抗议事件进一步巩固她的优势。

意大利八城市如临大敌 出台法令惩处涉乱未成年人的父母

意大利周六也在罗马和米兰等八座城市大规模部署安全部队，以应对可能发生的抗议活动。

一个自称“10月17日运动”的团体号召示威者于当地时间下午3时在八个城市走上街头，每个城市将分别举行三场抗议，随后汇聚至同一地点，具体地点将在活动开始前半小时公布。

为防集会失控，罗马警方出动无人机和直升机进行监控。在米兰，军方也增派全副武装的士兵进驻市中心繁华街区巡逻。

总理梅洛尼领导的政府日前通过一项安全法令，允许警方对有制造骚乱嫌疑的未成年人采取预防性拘留；未成年人若在抗议活动中造成破坏，将由父母承担赔偿责任。

80岁首次拥有智能手机 卢拉追赶巴西网络世代步伐

曾经极度排斥智能设备、甚至公开发难批评年轻人沉迷屏幕的巴西总统卢拉，在迎来81岁生日前夕，终于拥有了自己的第一部智能手机。

路透社星期六（10月24日）引述他的前幕僚报道，卢拉本周拥有的这部智能手机，是他人生中的第一部智能手机。

卢拉最终选择接纳这项现代生活的基础工具，或许是默认自己未能跟上如今大部分时间都泡在网上的巴西选民的步伐。而在星期天（25日）举行的总统选举第二轮决选中，这可能会成为他的劣势。

卢拉近日在巴西利亚的一场造势集会上向支持者说：“我正在变成自拍之王，一个真正的网民”，暗示他正加倍努力，以更好地驾驭社交媒体竞选活动。

卢拉的这项科技新尝试，折射出巴西政坛的世代交替。如今，候选人若能将TikTok、Instagram和WhatsApp等平台上的数百万粉丝转化为选票，便足以借此跃升至巴西权力核心。

在本月与总统选举首轮投票同时举行的国会选举中，多名深谙社交媒体之道的年轻候选人都在各自的选战中独占鳌头。

代表右翼自由党（Liberal Party）参选的费雷拉（Nikolas Ferreira，30岁）和帕瓦纳托（Lucas Pavanato，28岁），在各自的选区中均斩获超过300万张选票；而各以超过50万票当选的左翼候选人，则包括33岁的希尔顿（Erika Hilton）以及年仅21岁的席尔瓦（Ana Elisa Silva）。

而在首轮总统选举投票中，出乎民调机构意料得票率超过卢拉的弗拉维奥·博索纳罗，也一直通过自己的YouTube频道直接与选民互动。

在卢拉首轮投票表现令人失望后，来自米纳斯吉拉斯州（Minas Gerais）的法律系学生席尔瓦（Ana Elisa Silva）加入了卢拉的核心团队，协助他更好地驾驭社交媒体生态。

席尔瓦认为，数码传播并非特定世代的特权，“年龄或许会影响对某些平台和形式的熟悉程度，但并不决定一个人沟通、动员或建立社群的能力”。

但她也坦言，对于像卢拉这样向来直言不讳讨厌手机的政治人物来说，这一转变需要一些调适。

国际选举制度基金会（IFES）拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区主任萨尔迪瓦（Maximo Zaldivar）指出，随着政客向社交媒体红人寻求竞选支持，网红政客（influencer politicians）势力的崛起，是政治生态自然演变的结果。

日本互联网基础设施供应商GMO集团本周早前疑似被黑客攻击并提出勒索后，已紧急要求日本政府启动“主动网络防御”机制（active cyber defense），积极应对网络攻击。

据《日经亚洲》星期六（10月24日）报道，若GMO的请求获得批准，将是这个机制首次启动。

在“主动网络防御”框架下，政府和相关部门会在攻击者造成损害前主动出击，识别并瓦解攻击者的基础设施和入侵路径。

GMO在声明中说：“单靠私人业者的防御和事后应对，不足以阻止手段高明的跨境网络犯罪团伙窃取公众资产。”

GMO旗下经营网络托管业务的子公司GMO互联网于星期二（20日）发现，有第三方未经授权进入公司的系统。隔天，公司进一步透露，它存储在2万6739个服务器上的数据可能已被涉入。

受影响的网络托管业务主要为外汇交易提供服务。GMO指出，这些未经授权的访问，可能导致系统在客户不知情下代为执行了交易。

GMO更透露，已收到发动网络攻击的黑客的勒索要求，但公司打算拒绝。

它说，目前尚未发现公司持有的个人信息遭泄露，或被涉入的信息被滥用的证据。公司并不保存信用卡资料等付款信息。

本月早前，韩国多家银行也传出被黑客袭击，导致6万8000名客户的资料外泄，调查确认攻击者使用了由中国网络安全工程师开发的人工智能（AI）自主黑客软件“Artex AI”。微软本周也通报，三个来自不同地区的黑客使用Artex来加速袭击数百家公司。

网安公司Volexity总裁阿代尔（Steven Adair）向《华尔街日报》指出，来自中国与俄罗斯的国家级黑客和其他犯罪分子正在利用AI偷取数据及安装勒索软件。

这股由AI驱动的网络攻击浪潮让网安界如临大敌，以“黑色10月”来形容业内过去几周的肃杀气氛。

（布鲁塞尔/都柏林综合电）欧盟表明希望与中国进一步谈判，以保护更多行业免受中国进口商品的冲击，也不排除单方面采取贸易措施，阻止对华贸易逆差继续扩大。

欧盟成员国贸易部长星期五（10月23日）在都柏林举行会议后，欧盟委员会贸易专员谢夫乔维奇（Maros Sefcovic）向媒体透露，成员国正在探讨应针对哪些领域采取保护措施，以及如何进一步寻求北京政府合作，限制对欧盟的出口。

他直言，抑制对华贸易逆差继续扩大是欧盟的当务之急，“我们今年上半年的逆差将近1970亿欧元（约2817亿新元），按这个速度，今年可能打破2022年的纪录”。

欧盟对华贸易逆差的高点是2022年的3970亿欧元。今年至今的每日平均逆差同样超过10亿欧元，全年预计将超过4000亿欧元，创下新高。

10月早些时候，欧盟与中国达成协议，北京同意限制混合动力汽车出口到欧洲，起始阶段每年限量35万辆，并承诺对部分欧盟产品开放市场。双方明年初将继续谈判。

应对与中国贸易失衡 欧盟成员国：优先对话但不排除单边行动

不过，许多欧盟成员国希望更快推进计划，达成更广泛的限制。在星期五的会议前，爱尔兰外长麦肯蒂在记者会上说：“我们明确希望超越混动汽车领域，探讨其他行业如化学和机械。这些行业，还有农业食品领域都面对不少问题。”

麦肯蒂说，虽然谈判是优先方式，但欧盟委员会也可使用现有的贸易防御工具来解决其中一些不平衡的情况。

立陶宛外长布德里斯也说，药剂、半导体、无人机和量子科技都是关键领域。“我们须扪心自问，欧洲还要不要保住这些至关重要的关键领域的掌控权？”

谢夫乔维奇则在会后向记者透露，从成员国收到最多反馈的是塑料行业，欧盟委员会接下来将启动相关法律程序，再寻求通过相应的保护措施。

在法国第二轮针对生活费高企和公共服务退化的抗议活动中，警方已逮捕了135人，并没收包括金属球、烟花爆竹、弹弓等在内的多种武器。

法新社报道，法国内政部长努涅斯星期六（10月24日）通报，奉命防止街头暴力重演并针对全国示威展开部署的法国警方，当天已逮捕了135人，并起获各式武器。

努涅斯说，被没收的武器包括金属球、铅弹、烟花爆竹、弹弓、钢珠、自制武器、一把日本武士刀以及软气枪。

不过努涅斯强调，截至目前“尚未发生重大事故”。

作为预防措施，巴黎的卢浮宫、奥赛博物馆（Musée d’Orsay）、毕加索博物馆以及巴黎大皇宫（Grand Palais）星期六均暂停开放。法国文化部此前已呼吁各机构采取一切措施，确保访客和工作人员的安全，并保护艺术品免受破坏。

在东南部城市里昂（Lyon），约150名示威者在里昂一所大学学院及市警察局附近聚集，而当局禁止在这个区域聚集抗议。当示威者试图封锁道路时，警方随即采取行动，发射了数枚催泪弹以清空现场人群。

在奥尔良市（Orleans），数千人高喊反法西斯口号上街游行，抗议极右翼领袖勒庞（Marine Le Pen）领导的国民联盟（RN）在当地召开党代表大会，并同时抨击了勒庞与中间派总统马克龙。

此外，负责组织星期六示威活动的团体之一“黄背心”宣布，将于10月31日万圣节当天，发动新一轮抗议。

组织者号召民众当天在国会外及全国各地的市政厅外举行集会和静坐，谴责马克龙政府的“威权倾向”，并敦促公民挺身捍卫“公共自由”。
