美国总统特朗普宣布，将提名白罗斯问题特使科尔（John Coale）出任总统人质事务特使。

特朗普星期天（10月4日）在社媒发文说，科尔过去一年已促成超过65名美国人和盟友公民从白罗斯获释，并通过谈判促成东欧多个国家超过800名政治犯获释。他将提名科尔出任总统人质事务特使，职衔等同大使。

特朗普称，科尔是一名“出色的律师”，并将在新职务上继续努力协助将美国公民接回国。

现任人质事务特使博勒（Adam Boehler）任内促成196名人质获释。特朗普说，博勒将转任高级顾问，继续协助处理其他事务。

胡塞武装称袭击利雅得石油设施 沙特联军斥“谋求虚幻胜利”

2026年10月4日 21:50 / 联合早报

• 胡塞武装称连续两天用导弹和无人机袭击沙特阿美在利雅得等地的设施，以报复联军对也门的空袭。 – 沙特主导的多国联军发言人马利基称，胡塞武装有关袭击利雅得的说法具误导性，意在谋求虚幻胜利。 – 也门总统领导委员会主席阿里米宣布政府已展开军事行动，收复仍由胡塞武装控制的地区。 – 美国官员据报称，特朗普政府高层在戴维营讨论冲突后续行动，特朗普或改变不愿空袭胡塞武装的立场。

（萨那/利雅得综合电）伊朗支持的也门胡塞武装星期天连续第二天袭击沙特阿美石油设施，以报复沙特近期对也门境内的袭击。沙特主导的多国联军则称，胡塞武装谋求“虚幻的胜利”，意在转移外界对它所受损失的关注。

胡塞武装星期天（10月4日）发声明说，他们使用弹道导弹和无人机，袭击了沙特国家石油公司沙特阿美（Saudi Aramco）位于利雅得和胡赖斯的设施，以回应沙特领导的联军在过去12小时内对也门发动的50次袭击。声明称，这些袭击引发了大火。

此前一天（3日），胡塞武装也声称袭击了沙特阿美在利雅得的一处设施，还说袭击直接命中目标并引发火灾。路透社引述目击者当天在相关设施附近看到浓烟和火光，但沙特当局并未立即证实设施遭袭，沙特阿美也未立即置评。

胡塞武装说，这是对沙特袭击也门首都萨那及其他胡塞控制区的回应，并警告将继续“以封锁回应封锁，以升级回应升级”。

不过，沙特主导的多国联军称，胡塞武装有关袭击利雅得的说法具有误导性。

多国联军发言人马利基星期六晚接受沙特《中东报》采访时称，胡塞武装近期在也门西南部塔伊兹省及其他战线遭受人员损失，因此试图谋求虚幻的胜利。

他说，胡塞武装此举意在转移外界对其损失及日益高涨民怨的注意力。

今年7月，胡塞武装与沙特支持的也门政府军重燃战火。胡塞武装随后发动闪电攻势，夺取也门红海沿岸战略要地，并对沙特境内发动多次袭击。

也门总统领导委员会主席阿里米星期天宣布，也门政府已展开军事行动，收复仍由胡塞武装控制的地区。也门政府军当天也说，对首都萨那、西北部萨达省及西南部塔伊兹的胡塞武装目标发动空袭。

胡塞武装控制的马西拉电视台同日报道，沙特“敌机”对萨那发动26次空袭，但没有提供目标或伤亡详情。另据法新社引述当地消息人士报道，胡塞武装已切断连接塔伊兹与亚丁的主要补给路线；亚丁是也门政府的临时首都。

美国新闻网站Axios星期六引述美国官员报道，特朗普政府内阁高级成员星期五（2日）在戴维营举行闭门会议，讨论美伊战争及沙特与胡塞武装冲突的后续行动。

会议由副总统万斯主持，其他出席者包括国务卿鲁比奥、战争部长赫格塞斯、特朗普特使威特科夫、中情局局长拉特克利夫、美军参谋长联席会议主席凯恩以及财长贝森特。

据报道，特朗普虽然一直不愿应沙特要求空袭胡塞武装，但美国官员说，他可能改变主意。

伊朗外长阿拉格齐星期天坚称，美伊战争没有军事解决方案，也不存在基于新制裁的解决方案。他强调，只有“基于公正与公平的谈判”才能结束冲突。

伊朗议长卡利巴夫同日重申，在美国满足伊朗在6月签署的谅解备忘录中提出的七项条件前，霍尔木兹海峡不会重开。

Trump announces leadership of AI task force

President Donald Trump on Sunday announced the leadership and duties of a “Super Intelligence Force,” which he said will “ensure that America continues to lead the world” when it comes to artificial intelligence.

The president said in his announcement on Truth Social that the task force will “protect the interests” and “improve the lives” of Americans. He said it will coordinate the government’s engagement with consumers, public interest groups, religious organizations, infrastructure providers and AI companies.

The group will be led by Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton, Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission Andrew Ferguson, Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Emil Michael, and Director of the Office of Personnel Management Scott Kupor. The task force will report to Trump and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, the president said.

Trump announced last month that he was planning to create an “AI Force” and name an AI czar as the government faces growing calls to impose guardrails on the technology’s rapid development. CNN reported Friday that Trump was expected to tap Clayton to lead the group.

The announcement detailing the task force comes in the wake of episodes that have raised widespread safety concerns tied to AI, including AI agents going rogue and attempting to hack into federal databases.

The president has made clear that he considers outpacing China and preserving AI-driven economic gains a higher priority than addressing growing public concerns, and previously referred to fears over AI as being a “hoax.” His support for the technology comes amid widespread frustrations over the data centers used to support it, which are shaking up midterm races.

The president hosted top AI executives at the White House last week. The group signed a new commitment aimed at better “self-policing” their companies’ AI models, arguing that the light-touch approach represents the best way to balance safety concerns with the president’s desire to accelerate a technology he’s dubbed “Super Intelligence.”

“I’m seeing tremendous self-policing, and they understand that they have to self-police,” Trump told reporters. “These models are very complex and, again, I believe they’re going to be used for the good.”

When asked about AI during his confirmation hearing to lead the US intelligence community, Clayton said the technology is a “game changer.”

“When something’s both an opportunity and a threat, you better get your arms around it,” Clayton said.

西班牙休达清拆海滩移民营 为国王王后访问做准备

2026年10月4日 22:37 / 联合早报

7月的最后两天，超过7万名来自摩洛哥的移民突然涌入西班牙位于北非的自治飞地休达（Ceuta），并搭建临时移民营。大多数人在数天内返回摩洛哥，但仍有数千人滞留，在街头或海滩露宿。 （路透社）

为迎接西班牙国王和王后到访，西班牙当局星期天（10月4日）开始清拆位于北非的自治飞地休达一处海滩上的移民营，约3000名移民将被转移。

法新社报道，7月的最后两天，超过7万名来自摩洛哥的移民突然涌入休达（Ceuta），并搭建临时移民营。大多数人在数天内返回摩洛哥，但仍有数千人滞留，在街头或海滩露宿。

这场突如其来的大规模涌入造成数十人死亡，引发欧盟关注，也给西班牙政府带来政治压力。

西班牙王室星期四（1日）宣布，西班牙国王费利佩六世和王后莱蒂西亚将于10月13日访问休达，行程由王室与政府协调安排。

休达警方发言人说，当局星期天开始在特兰波林海滩（Trampolin Beach）展开第一阶段移民转移行动，出动超过350名警员，并有军人及装甲车参与。

警方说，这批移民将先被送到一处设施进行身份确认，随后被安置在当局设立的临时营地中。不过，临时营地的容纳能力有限。如果没有足够空位，海滩清拆行动将暂停。

此前，红十字会每天为海滩营地的移民提供餐食。

朝鲜试射导弹称采用AI技术 韩国防部：导弹仍在可拦截范围

2026年10月4日 22:51 / 联合早报

朝鲜星期六（10月3日）早上从元山一带向韩半岛东部海域发射1枚弹道导弹。韩国联合参谋本部随后指，导弹飞行距离700公里以上。 （路透社）

朝鲜官媒星期天报道称，朝鲜领导人金正恩星期六监督一枚导弹试射，这枚导弹采用人工智能（AI）技术，可在低空改变飞行轨迹。

朝中社报道，金正恩星期六（10月3日）在试射后说，战略导弹部队通过此次演练展现专业能力和反击态势，并强调朝鲜必须持续提升战略进攻手段的可靠性和杀伤力。

朝鲜称，导弹从东部沿海城市元山附近地区发射。韩国军方说，导弹星期六清晨飞行超过700公里。

朝鲜领导人金正恩的妹妹金与正此前声称，采用AI技术的导弹能够在低空改变飞行轨迹，因此“没有办法躲避”攻击。

韩国国防部则反驳这一说法，强调这枚导弹仍在韩美联合防御系统的探测和拦截能力范围内。

根据韩联社报道，韩国国防部星期天（4日）说，韩美保持着坚固的联合防卫态势。韩军从朝鲜发射筹备阶段起就严密监视相关动向。导弹发射后，军方探测并追踪导弹，还准确识别出发射地点。

韩方同时敦促朝鲜停止加剧朝鲜半岛紧张局势的行动，并指试射违反联合国安理会决议。

朝鲜官媒此次还公布导弹击中目标的具体坐标。韩国统一研究院分析员洪敏认为，朝鲜这次将坐标公布至小数点，精度约为30厘米，显示朝鲜对自身导弹能力抱有信心。

迪拜航空恐袭事件：澳警方调查副机长与澳洲有何关联

澳大利亚警方说，多机构反恐小组正在调查迪拜航空事故涉案副机长与澳洲的联系。

路透社报道，澳洲联邦警察发言人星期天（10月4日）说，维多利亚州联合反恐小组正在调查这名男子“与澳洲之间的关联”。这个小组由联邦警察、维多利亚州警方和澳洲安全情报组织（ASIO）组成。

两名知情人士透露，这名副机长曾在维多利亚州首府墨尔本的一所大学就读；另一名消息人士说，他约10年前曾就读于皇家墨尔本理工大学（RMIT）。校方拒绝置评。

以色列第12频道电视台星期天援引消息人士的话说，以安全机构在事发后立即启动调查，目前调查仍在进行。调查人员认为，涉事副机长是“独狼式”作案。

阿联酋总检察长沙姆西星期六说，这名副机长星期三（9月30日）在从迪拜飞往以色列途中，以紧急逃生斧袭击机长，并试图控制飞机。当局将事件定性为“恐怖袭击”。

据以色列官员说，副机长企图撞毁载有174名乘客和机组人员的客机。乘客和机组人员随后制服副机长，避免灾难发生。

两名消息人士透露，副机长是阿曼籍男子哈马米（Hamam Al-Hamami）。以色列官员只证实他来自阿曼，阿联酋当局和迪拜航空公司尚未公开他的身份。

据报道，哈马米之前在阿曼航空任职期间，曾因思想激进被禁飞并调离岗位，后来却受聘于迪拜航空，且获准执飞连接阿联酋和以色列的敏感航线。

这名副机长目前已被转移至阿联酋并遭到拘留，阿联酋目前尚未正式起诉对方。阿曼则未对此事置评。

President Donald Trump vowed that Republicans will overcome their disadvantage in the polls now that he is on the campaign trail on Saturday night.

Trump held a rally in Dayton, Ohio, on Saturday and told a cheering crowd that the polls hadn’t accounted for him campaigning personally.

“On election night, Ohio is going to prove that America does not belong to those who hate it. America belongs to those who love it,” Trump said.

“These fake polls, they don’t account for one thing. They don’t account for the fact that Trump is out campaigning. They never thought this was good. They never thought this was going to happen,” he added.

A recent Fox News Poll found Democrats have a wider path to victory than Republicans in the House of Representatives. Democrats are projected to win 215 seats compared to 201 for the GOP, meaning the left only needs three more victories out of the 19 possible toss-up races to clinch a majority. Republicans would need to win at least 17 of those races.

“With you at my side, we have always prevailed and prevailed by a lot and got record setting votes and record setting victory,” Trump said. “We’ve won every battle. We’ve defeated every hope. We’ve overcome every threat. And now we are on the cusp of beating the communists, socialist, radicalized lunatics and villains once and for all. We’re going to put them down once and for all.”

A new memo being sent to Republicans across the country, first obtained by Fox News Digital, revealed four key topics that the House GOP is focusing on in the final four weeks before Election Day: the border, fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars, the economy and public safety.

Republicans are also seeing political opportunity in the far-left insurgency that’s gripped the Democratic Party during its primary cycle, warning that socialists are pushing the party further left than the majority of Americans.

Democrats have seized on Americans’ struggle with cost-of-living as a political cudgel against Republicans, particularly using Trump’s tariffs on allies like Canada and his war in Iran as arguments against the GOP.
