Seven days a week, The European Union is freezing 210 billion euros in Russian central bank assets to provide a massive loan to Ukraine for its fight against Russia.

歐洲聯盟正在凍結 2100 億歐元俄羅斯央行資產，為烏克蘭對抗俄羅斯的戰爭提供一筆大規模貸款。

The move ensures no member state can block the freeze.

這項措施確保沒有任何成員國可以阻止凍結。

Russia's calling the move illegal and saying it's suing Euroclear, which holds most of those funds.

俄羅斯稱此舉違法，並表示將對持有大部分資金的 Euroclear 提出訴訟。

I haven't seen it, but I mean, everybody knew this man.

我沒見過他，但說真的，大家都認識這個人。

President Donald Trump shrugging off 19 newly released photos of Jeffrey Epstein, some showing him as Democrats drop a trove of files and it's not over.

Oil tanker movements in and out of Venezuela have come to a near standstill after the US seized an oil tanker and nearly 2 million barrels of crude oil near the coast this week and on Friday, Admiral Alvin Hulsey stepped down two years early as head of U.S.

在美國本週扣押了一艘油輪和近 200 萬桶原油後，油輪進出委內瑞拉的運輸幾乎停滯，週五，海軍上將 Alvin Hulsey 提前兩年卸任美國南部司令部司令。

Sources tell Reuters he was pushed out by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who's been driving a harder military stance in the region.

消息人士告訴路透社，他被國防部長 Pete Hegseth 逼退，Pete Hegseth 一直在該地區推動更強硬的軍事立場。

Rain has finally eased in the Pacific Northwest and Western Canada after an atmospheric river brought several days of torrential rain.

Tens of thousands of people are under evacuation orders after a warning to residents across Washington State and western Canada to brace for life threatening floods.

在向華盛頓州和加拿大西部居民發出應對危及生命洪水威脅的警告後，數萬人已接到撤離命令。

We spoke to photographer David Ryder on Friday from a flooded park in Burlington where National Guard crews were working on evacuations and rescues.

我們週五在伯靈頓一個淹水的公園採訪了攝影師 David Ryder，國民兵隊員正在那裡進行撤離和救援。

The waters have completely spilled over the edge of the Skagit River.

河水已經完全溢出了斯卡吉特河的河岸。

The pictures of this boat rescue, this was in Burlington, Washington.

這些船隻救援的照片，是在華盛頓州伯靈頓拍攝的。

They started to load up this inflatable raft into one of the military vehicles.

他們開始將這艘充氣橡皮艇裝上一輛軍用車輛。

I was talking to one of the National Guard guys and even they were kind of surprised at what they were doing because you don't see a river raft going into a military vehicle like that too often.

我在跟一位國民兵隊員哈拉，連他們都對自己正在做的事情有點驚訝，因為你不太常看到河上橡皮艇被這樣開進軍用車輛裡。

Some of the crews were on foot and I was on foot following them kind of wading through the water.

有些隊員是徒步前進，我也跟著他們徒步，感覺就像在水中跋涉。

They paddled the raft, picked up a guy and two dogs, and

他們劃著橡皮艇，救起了一位先生和兩隻狗，

then floated back over to the vehicle to give a ride to the guy and his two dogs.

然後再劃回車輛，載著這位先生和他的兩隻狗。

The past week has been a big one for markets.

過去一週對市場來說是相當重要的一週。

Fresh worries about an air bubble and talk of Fed rate cuts have dominated.

對於氣泡的新擔憂以及關於聯準會降息的討論佔據了主導地位。

Host of our sister podcast Morning bid, Dara Ranasing is here to share what to watch in the week ahead.

我們請來了姐妹播客 Morning bid 的主持人 Dara Ranasing，來分享接下來一週的重點。

It's actually been a really busy week, Sharon, so let's start with Oracle.

Sharon，這週其實非常忙碌，那我們就從 Oracle 開始吧。

IT shares suffered the worst day since January as a company released its latest earnings.

由於這家公司公佈了最新的財報，科技股創下了一月以來最差的一天。

And in that report they raised their forecast for capital expenditure.

在那份報告中，他們提高了資本支出的預期。

So you had these kinds of renewed concerns about an AI AI bubble and high valuations in the sector.

所以你會看到這種關於 AI 保麗龍和該產業高估值的擔憂又重新浮現。

So the Fed cut interest rates as expected and signaled that it's in no hurry to cut interest rates again.

聯準會如預期般降息，並暗示他們不急於再次降息。

So that's one the markets will be watching closely next year.

所以這是市場明年會密切關注的一點。

And you know, it's also just worth noting what's going on in Japan there.

而且，順帶一提，日本那邊發生的事情也值得注意。

We saw huge pressure in the government bond market.

我們看到政府債券市場出現巨大壓力。

Short, dated yields are at their highest since the global financial crisis, which is saying something.

短期、有到期日的殖利率創下全球金融危機以來新高，這可不是小事。

The bank of Japan is meeting next week and it's expected to deliver a rating increase.

日本央行下週將召開會議，預計會調升利率。

The U.S. army has unveiled plans to build portable refineries for critical minerals to cut reliance on China.

美國陸軍公佈了建造可攜式煉油廠以提煉關鍵礦物的計畫，目標是減少對中國的依賴。

They're starting a six month trial using a mini refinery focusing on antimony trisulfide, a key ingredient for the explosive cap at a bullet's base.

他們將展開為期六個月的試驗，使用一座小型煉油廠，專注於三硫化二銻，這是子彈底火中爆炸帽的關鍵成分。

Mining correspondent Ernest Scheider has more.

礦業記者 Ernest Scheider 有更多報導。

The problem from the commercial industry's perspective is that it's just not economical to make large volumes of antimony trisulfide when you're basically only going to have one customer, that is the U.S.

從商業產業的角度來看，問題在於當你基本上只有一個客戶，也就是美國陸軍時，大量生產三硫化二銻並不符合經濟效益。

So the military realized pretty quickly that it would have to come up with its own solution.

所以軍方很快就意識到，他們必須自己想辦法。

And working with the Idaho National Laboratory, which is part of the U.S.

並與美國能源部的愛達荷國家實驗室，以及正在愛達荷州建造銻金礦的 Perpetua Resources 合作。

department of Energy, as well as Perpetua Resources, which is building an antimony and gold mine in Idaho.

美國陸軍基本上已經建造了自己的迷你煉油廠。

The U.S. army has basically built its own mini refinery.

這每年生產 7 到 10 公噸的三硫化二銻。

This produces between 7 to 10 metric tons annually of that antimony trisulfide.

從商業產量的角度來看，這是一個非常小的數量，但

That's a really small amount from commercial volumes perspectives, but

這足以讓軍方生產所有和平時期所需的子彈。

it's enough antimony trisulfide for the army to make all of the bullets it would need in peacetime.

如果爆發武裝衝突，軍方就可以利用兩到四個或更多煉油廠來迅速增加產量。

And if there were an armed conflict to break out, the army could then basically use two or three or four or more to rapidly increase production.

如果這一切順利，他們也會開始關注其他關鍵礦物，包括用於鋼材硬化劑的鎢，以及今年因中國多次封鎖出口而備受關注的稀土。

If all this works out, then they're going to start to look at other critical minerals as well, including tungsten, which is used as a hardening agent for steel as well as rare earths, which has been in the headlines a lot this year because China has blocked exports at various times.

他們也可能考慮硼，硼用於防彈背心和其他類型的武器。

And they also might look at boron, which is used in bulletproof vests and other types of weaponries.

I was speaking with somebody at the US army who painted this really, I think stark but interesting picture.

我跟一位美國陸軍的人聊過，他描繪了一個我覺得非常嚴峻但又引人入勝的景象。

He said, without antimony trisulfide, you can't make primers.

他說，沒有三硫化二銻，就沒辦法製造底火。

沒有底火，就沒辦法製造子彈。

And an army without bullets is just a parade.

而沒有子彈的軍隊，就只是一場遊行。

第一階段，我們差不多快完成了。

We have one more hostage deceased, Hani Gvili, a hero of Israel.

我們又多了一位不幸身亡的人質，Hani Gvili，以色列的英雄。

Over to Israel now, where Hamas and the International Red Cross continue searching for Israel's last hostage.

現在轉向以色列，哈瑪斯和國際紅十字會持續尋找以色列最後一人質。

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is getting ready to turn his attention to the next phase of a U.

同時，總理班傑明·納坦雅胡正準備將注意力轉向美國支持的停火計畫的下一階段。

But for Rod Gavili's family, it's a moment filled with fear and anticipation.

但對 Rod Gavili 的家人來說，這是個充滿恐懼和期待的時刻。

Tali Gavili has been clinging to the faint hope that Ron, a 24 year old police officer, may still be alive.

Tali Gavili 一直緊抓著一絲渺茫的希望，希望 24 歲的警官 Ron 可能還活著。

His absence has left what she describes as the largest possible hole in her heart.

她的缺席在她心中留下了一個她形容為最大的空缺。

Posters of Ronnie, as his family and friends call him, line the streets of his hometown, metal in southern Israel.

Ronnie 的海報，這是他的家人和朋友對他的稱呼，貼滿了他家鄉以色列南部 Metal 鎮的街道。

The family say they're waiting for Gavili's return and that Israel can't begin the next phase of peace talks before he does.

家人表示，他們正在等待 Gavili 的歸來，並且在他人回來之前，以色列無法開始下一階段的和平談判。

Americans say they're drinking less than ever.

美國人說他們比以往任何時候都喝得少。

Mocktails, health conscious trends on social media paint a picture of a nation turning away from booze.

假調酒，社群媒體上注重健康的趨勢描繪了一個遠離酒精的國家景象。

Reporter Emma Rumney says that the amount U.S.

adults drink each week hasn't shifted nearly as much as it seems.

成人每週飲酒量並沒有像看起來那樣有很大的變化。

Americans report that they are drinking less or even drinking at record lows.

美國人說他們喝得比較少，甚至創下新低。

But when it comes to data on actual consumption, this data shows that the picture is a little bit more complicated.

但談到實際消費數據，這些數據顯示情況有點複雜。

So while there has indeed been a drop in the the average number of drinks per adult in the US since 2021, that drop is only about one drink per person per week.

所以，雖然自 2021 年以來，美國成人平均飲酒量確實有所下降，但每人每週只減少了大約一杯。

And the rate of weekly drinking has hovered between 10 and 12 drinks per week for decades.

而每週飲酒量數十年來一直徘徊在每週 10 到 12 杯之間。

And this drop isn't outside of that range.

而這次下降並沒有超出這個範圍。

One of the big concerns has been around whether young people specifically are drinking less.

一個很大的疑慮是，年輕人是否特別在減少飲酒。

And again, that comes from survey data which in recent years has suggested that they are, as well as kind of anecdotal evidence which is people knowing family members, you know, the children of friends who say they aren't drinking or aren't drinking as much as they did before.

這同樣來自調查數據，近年來的數據顯示他們確實如此，還有一些軼事證據，像是人們認識的家人、朋友的孩子，他們說自己沒有喝酒，或者不像以前那麼常喝了。

And also there's been a kind of rise in young people prioritizing health or prioritizing wellness.

而且，年輕人也越來越重視健康或養生。

And all of this together is kind of fed into this debate around whether alcohol sales could go into decline in the long term.

這些因素加起來，都引發了關於酒精銷售長期來看是否會下滑的討論。

Some sources point to the fact that economic pressures are really weighing on people at the moment.

有些來源指出，目前經濟壓力確實讓大家感到沉重。

People just simply do not have as much money in their wallet as they did previously.

大家手上的錢確實比以前少了。

And that's particularly acute for Gen Z, who some of them especially are in their early 20s.

這對 Z 世代來說尤其嚴重，他們有些人剛滿二十出頭。

They don't have have stable employment yet.

You know, they haven't sort of properly started climbing the career ladder.

你知道，他們還沒有真正開始往上爬。

And that could mean that those economic pressures affect their drinking and weigh on how much they drink, more so than for older generations.

這可能意味著經濟壓力對他們的飲酒習慣和飲酒量影響更大，比對老一輩的人來說更是如此。

And for today's recommendation, a collection of our pictures of the year, this time focusing on the animal kingdom.

而今天的推薦，是我們年度精選照片集，這次聚焦在動物界。
