农民开车驶入布鲁塞尔,封锁道路抗议美洲南部共同市场贸易协议

數百輛拖拉機堵塞了布魯塞爾的街道,農民們聚集在比利時首都,抗議歐盟和南美國家之間的爭議性貿易協定。示威活動於週四爆發,當時歐盟領導人聚集在一起開會,討論美洲南部共同市場協定的命運。根據農業遊說團體Copa-Cogeca的估計,超過150輛拖拉機堵塞了布魯塞爾市中心,預計有10,000名抗議者將聚集在歐洲區。

農民們穿著他們最好的工裝和帽子,團結一致地反對這項協定,他們聲稱這將通過用南美洲的廉價牛肉和大豆淹沒歐盟市場,從而摧毀他們的生計。Copa-Cogeca的法國農民會長Jean-Pierre Mercier說:「這項協定對歐洲農民來說是一個死刑。」「我們不會坐視不理,而讓官僚們在布魯塞爾拆解我們的產業。」

抗議活動並不僅限於街道,農民們還將他們的信息帶到了歐洲議會的門口。在盧森堡廣場附近,農民們向議會大廈扔了一個馬鈴薯,這是一個象徵性的姿態,凸顯了這項協定對歐盟農業的潛在影響。馬鈴薯是許多歐洲國家的主食作物,它是對於那些處於風險之中的生計的一個感人的提醒。

美洲南部共同市場協定已經在籌劃中超過十年,旨在創建歐盟和南美國家之間的自由貿易區。然而,農民們長期以來一直反對這項協定,援引對歐盟農業的影響以及潛在的工作崗位流失的擔憂。週四的抗議活動是對這項協定的最新一次抗議活動,已經持續了數月。

行業內部人士說,抗議活動不僅僅是關於美洲南部共同市場協定,也關乎歐盟農業面臨的更廣泛問題。歐洲農民協會的一位發言人說:「歐盟的農業政策處於危機之中。」「我們需要一項支持歐洲農民的政策,而不是摧毀他們的政策。」

歐盟峰會原本打算討論美洲南部共同市場協定的命運,但由於抗議活動而陷入混亂。歐盟領導人被迫在堵塞的街道中行駛,同時也試圖找到解決危機的方法。目前這項協定的狀態尚不明確,歐盟領導人將在未來幾周內再次會面討論這個問題。

隨著抗議活動的繼續,農民們仍然堅定地反對這項協定。Mercier說:「我們不會退縮。」「我們將為我們的生計和歐洲農業的未來而戰。」抗議活動的結果和美洲南部共同市場協定的命運尚不明確,但有一點是明確的:歐盟農業的未來懸而未決。

US GDP Surpasses Expectations, But at What Cost: A Closer Look at Jobless Growth

The latest GDP data reveals a paradoxical economic scenario, where the US economy experienced a 4.3% annual growth rate in the third quarter, driven by consumer spending and corporate capital gains, yet hiring has stalled, with unemployment rising to 4.6%. This "jobless growth" phenomenon is a departure from the typical economic recovery pattern, where strong GDP growth is preceded by job gains and increased paychecks. Economists are struggling to reconcile this anomaly, warning that it may be a sign of underlying economic instability.

Tesla Faces NHTSA Probe Over Hidden Model 3 Emergency Door Release

The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has launched a probe into Tesla's Model 3 emergency door handles, citing concerns that they are hidden, unlabeled, and difficult to locate in emergency situations. The investigation, which covers approximately 179,071 vehicles from the 2022 model year, follows a petition by a Tesla owner who was trapped in his vehicle in 2023. This move expands on a broader federal examination of Tesla door problems, which has raised questions about the safety implications of electrically powered door handles.

AI Boosterism Exposed: High-Profile Spat Reveals Dark Side of AI Hype

A recent social media exchange between AI researchers highlights the dangers of AI boosterism, where exaggerated claims about AI's capabilities can mislead the public and undermine trust in the field. The incident involved a claim that Google's rival, OpenAI, had used its large language model, GPT-5, to solve 10 long-standing mathematical problems, only to be debunked by a mathematician who pointed out that the model may have simply accessed existing solutions in a vast database of mathematical papers. This episode underscores the need for responsible communication about AI's limitations and potential.

Scientists Mimic First Moments of Human Pregnancy in Lab

Researchers have successfully created a lab-grown model of early pregnancy by merging human embryos with organoids mimicking the uterus lining, allowing them to study the implantation process in unprecedented detail. This breakthrough, achieved through microfluidic chips and engineered tissues, could lead to improved IVF outcomes and a deeper understanding of early pregnancy. The studies, published in Cell Press, mark the most accurate lab recreations of the first days of pregnancy to date.

China's Flatline: Carbon Emissions Hold Steady Amid Global Climate Concerns

In a year marked by record-high greenhouse gas emissions and devastating climate-fueled disasters, China's remarkable achievement of flatlining carbon dioxide emissions stands out as a beacon of hope. Despite a growing economy and increasing electricity demands, China's emissions have remained steady for the past 18 months, a significant shift from previous periods of economic growth. This breakthrough is attributed to a surge in renewable energy installations, including solar and wind power, which now account for over 40% of China's electricity generation.
