Hi, I'm Christopher Waljasper in Chicago.

嗨，我是 Christopher Waljasper，人在芝加哥。

And Disney's characters could soon be coming to Sora's AI Video Editor this is Reuters World News bringing you everything you need to know from the front lines in 10 minutes, seven days a week.

而 Disney 的角色可能很快就會出現在 Sora's AI Video Editor，這是路透社世界新聞，為您帶來前線的重點消息，一週七天，每天 10 分鐘。

A Reuters exclusive has confirmed that the US Is preparing to intercept additional ships transporting Venezuelan oil.

路透社獨家證實，美國正準備攔截更多運送委內瑞拉石油的船隻。

US Foreign policy editor Don Durfee has the latest.

美國外交政策編輯 Don Durfee 有最新消息。

Seizing tankers is definitely an attempt to escalate the financial pressure on the Maduro regime.

扣押油輪絕對是試圖加劇對馬杜羅政權的軍事壓力。

And we've heard from sources that they've developed a target list of several more sanctioned tankers.

我們也從消息來源得知，他們已經開發了一份目標清單，包含更多受制裁的油輪。

The US has been building up a really remarkably large force in the Caribbean in the past weeks.

美國在過去幾週在加勒比海集結了非常可觀的兵力。

And in addition to that, military pressure, taking the tankers, you know, is a way of cutting off a major source of revenue to the regime.

而且除了軍事壓力，扣押油輪也是一種切斷政權主要收入來源的方式。

And it is a step that the US can take that is short of actual direct military intervention, which is something that Trump has threatened multiple times.

這是美國可以採取的一項措施，而且還不是直接的軍事介入，這是川普曾多次威脅過的。

He's threatened strikes on land inside Venezuela, but the US hasn't gone there yet.

他曾威脅要在委內瑞拉境內進行地面攻擊，但美國還沒這麼做。

Dawn says the escalation could put the Trump administration in a tight spot, regardless of what comes next.

Dawn 表示，這種升級可能會讓川普政府陷入困境，無論接下來會發生什麼。

I think this campaign that the Trump administration has been running around Venezuela, it is a little bit boxing themselves in because they have so many forces now situated in the Caribbean.

我認為川普政府圍繞委內瑞拉展開的這場行動，有點像是把自己逼進死衚衕，因為他們現在在加勒比海部署了太多兵力。

If the end goal is for Maduro to step down, there's this question of, well, what happens if he doesn't step down?

如果最終目標是讓馬杜羅下臺，那麼就會出現一個問題：如果他不下臺怎麼辦？

Does that mean US Military intervention inside Venezuela that's incredibly risky?

這是否意味著美國在委內瑞拉境內進行軍事介入，這風險極高？

Does it mean backing away from the whole situation, which carries another kind of risk because you've escalated only to step away from it?

這是否意味著要放棄整個局面，這又會帶來另一種風險，因為你已經升級了卻又退縮了？

So it's not an easy situation for the US at this moment.

所以，美國此刻的處境並不輕鬆。

Here's Elena Casas from our Morning Bid podcast with more on what all this means for the markets this week.

以下是我們晨間出價Podcast的Elena Casas，為您帶來本週市場動態的更多分析。

The seizure of that oil tanker has barely changed anything for oil traders.

那艘油輪被扣押，對油品交易商來說幾乎沒什麼改變。

One is that Venezuela has been under US sanctions on its oil since 2019, so it's struggling to sell much of its oil abroad anyway.

一是自2019年以來，美國就對委內瑞拉的石油實施制裁，所以它本來就難以在國外賣出多少石油。

it's being sold at a steep discount to the global oil price.

是以遠低於國際油價的價格出售。

Another factor is that even though Venezuela does have the world's largest oil reserves, they're not being exploited very much.

另一個因素是，雖然委內瑞拉擁有全球最大的石油儲量，但這些儲量並沒有得到充分開發。

At the moment, the state oil company is pumping less than a third of the oil that it was 15 years ago.

目前，國營石油公司生產的石油量不到15年前的三分之一。

So even if Venezuela's sanctions on oil were to be dropped, even if that supply were to come back on to world markets, it's a relatively small amount of oil that we're talking about here.

所以，即使委內瑞拉的石油禁令被解除，即使這些供應能重返國際市場，我們談論的石油量相對來說還是很少的。

And if there were to be a change of regime in Venezuela and foreign oil companies were again able to start pumping that oil, it would require billions of dollars in foreign investment to use that spare capacity.

而且，如果委內瑞拉政權更迭，外國石油公司能夠重新開始開採這些石油，也需要數十億美元的FOREIGN INVESTMENT才能利用這些閒置產能。

Venezuela's oil installations are in a terrible state, so all of these factors mean that the oil price has barely moved this week.

委內瑞拉的石油設施狀況非常糟糕，所以這些因素加起來，本週油價幾乎沒有變動。

妳可以在任何收聽 Podcast 的地方找到 Morning Bid，或是請妳的智慧音箱播放 Reuters Morning Bid。兩項醫療保健法案都在參議院被否決，幾乎確定新的一年醫療保健保費將會上漲。

Senate Republicans blocked a bill by Democrats that would have extended Affordable Care act subsidies for three years.

參議院的共和黨人阻止了一項由民主黨提出的法案，該法案原本會將《可負擔照護法案》的補助金延長三年。

A Republican bill that would create a federal subsidy to help Americans fund health savings accounts also fell short of the 60 votes that were needed to advance.

一項由共和黨提出的法案，旨在設立聯邦補助金幫助美國人資助健康儲蓄帳戶，也未能獲得推進所需的 60 票。

The issue is likely to dominate next year's midterms, but for some it's much more serious.

這個問題很可能會主導明年的期中選舉，但對某些人來說，情況更為嚴峻。

以我的情況來說，我沒有選擇。

I don't get to have another option without insurance.

For 35 year old Himalay Patel, health insurance isn't optional.

對 35 歲的 Himalay Patel 來說，健康保險不是可有可無的。

Patel has battled multiple autoimmune and connective tissue disorders for years, conditions that have led to dozens of hospital stays every year.

Patel 多年來一直與多種自體免疫和結締組織疾病搏鬥，這些疾病導致她每年數十次住院。

Patel says the loss of subsidies would leave her effectively uninsured.

Patel 表示，補助金的取消將讓她形同沒有保險。

A US Judge has ordered the immediate release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whose wrongful deportation to El Salvador became a flashpoint in President Trump's immigration crackdown.

In March, Abrego was sent to an El Salvador prison.

三月，Abrego 被送往薩爾瓦多的監獄。

Thailand's caretaker prime minister has announced he's dissolving parliament, clearing the way for earlier than expected elections.

In Bulgaria, it was the government that was supposed to oversee the country's entry into the eurozone in the new year, but

在保加利亞，原本應該由政府監督國家在新的一年加入歐元區，但

the prime minister and the government have now resigned.

It comes after weeks of mass protests against state corruption and a new budget that would have increased taxes.

Our Balkans bureau chief, Ed McAllister has more.

我們的巴爾幹半島首席記者 Ed McAllister 有更多報導。

We're looking at a situation where Bulgaria might fall back into a cycle of repeated snap elections.

我們看到的情況是，保加利亞可能會再次陷入一連串的倉促選舉。

Bulgaria's had seven elections in four years.

保加利亞四年內已經舉行了七次選舉。

The last government lasted nearly a year.

But with this collapse, we're looking at potential for elections again, maybe in March or April if a new government can't be found because the parliament is simply too fragmented to form a strong coalition.

但隨著這次垮臺，我們預計可能會再次舉行選舉，也許在三月或四月，如果找不到新政府的話，因為議會實在太分裂了，無法組成強大的聯盟。

And we'll be attending the meeting on Saturday in Europe, if we think there's a good chance and we don't want to waste a lot of time, we think it's negative.

Walt Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI and licensing its Star Wars, Pixar and Marvel characters for Sora, the startup AI's video generator.

Walt Disney 正在向 OpenAI 投資 10 億美元，並授權其《星際大戰》、《皮克斯》和《漫威》角色給這家新創 AI 影片生成器 Sora's AI Video Editor。

It's a landmark deal that marks Hollywood's biggest embrace of generative AI yet media business reporter Dawn Chmolewski is here to explain.

這是一項里程碑式的協議，標誌著好萊塢對生成式 AI 的最大擁抱，媒體業務記者 Dawn Chmolewski 在此為您解釋。

Disney is embracing the memification, if you will, of culture that we as consumers of culture not only are passively watching, but

Disney 擁抱了所謂的「迷因化」，我們作為文化消費者不只是被動地觀看，

Users of Sora will be able to create short videos featuring their favorite characters and share those videos on social media with certain parameters established.

Sora 的使用者將能創作包含他們喜愛角色的短影片，並在社群媒體上分享這些影片，同時會設定一些參數。

Disney obviously doesn't want Mickey Mouse to be seen, I don't know, smoking a cigarette or doing drugs or something else that's inappropriate.

Disney 顯然不希望米老鼠被看到，我不知道，抽菸或吸毒，或是做其他不恰當的事情。

So Sora has agreed to put in some guide rails to prevent Disney's characters from being depicted in ways that Disney would not normally permit.

所以 Sora 同意設置一些指導原則，防止 Disney 的角色被描繪成 Disney 通常不允許的方式。

Other advantages of this deal, Disney hopes that it will be able to take advantage of Sora's artificial intelligence products to refine its own production pipeline to use AI in ways that make its operations more efficient.

這項協議的其他優勢，Disney 希望能利用 Sora 的人工智慧產品來精煉自己的製作流程，以 AI 提升營運效率。

Now, that's not to say that it will suddenly take the place of actors on screen.

這並不是說它會突然取代螢幕上的演員。

This is simply a way for Disney to begin to to use the power of AI to get through some of the kind of back end production more quickly, much like you or I might use AI to kind of speed up our work.

這只是 Disney 開始運用 AI 的力量，來更快地完成一些後端製作，就像你我可能會用 AI 來加速工作一樣。

Hollywood's unions, which are monitoring the expanding use of generative AI have reacted cautiously to the deal.
