中新网11月12日电 据美国《华尔街日报》等美媒报道,当地时间11日,美国国防部长赫格塞思在美国退伍军人日参加纪念活动时,被美国阿灵顿国家公墓一名美军士兵大声告诫,要求他及随行人员保持“肃静和尊重”的氛围。

据美联社报道,视频显示,赫格塞思与妻子詹妮弗、幕僚长里基·布里亚、副幕僚长帕特里克·韦弗以及高级顾问塔米·拉达博在无名战士墓前空旷的台阶上合影。
当这群人结束合影时,现场传出一阵响亮的笑声。守卫无名战士墓的士兵随即转身,面向他们高声喊道:“所有到访者必须始终保持肃静和尊重。”
美国全国广播公司(NBC)称,当时,赫格塞思没有对士兵的严肃告诫作出回应,只是扭头看了一眼,继续沿台阶向前走。
报道称,美国五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔承认发生了这一事件,但表示当事人并无不敬之意。
“国防部长和整个国防部始终尊重,并将永远尊重我国男女军人为维护美国安全所作出的牺牲”,帕内尔在一份声明中说,“在纪念这一庄严日子的过程中,一名士兵以正确且恭敬的方式提醒所有人保持庄重。”
报道指出,在这起事件发生的前一天,共和党人阻止了一项弹劾赫格塞思的行动。
据此前报道,共和党籍众议员托马斯·梅西9日正式对赫格塞思提出弹劾,列出未经国会授权对伊朗发动军事行动等8项指控。10日,众议院共和党人在程序性投票中,阻止继续推进对赫格塞思的弹劾。除梅西外,其他共和党议员都不支持继续推进这一弹劾。

Musician Luo Dayou sparked controversy when he named former President Tsai Ing-wen, former Vice President Hsiao Meiqin, and former Supervisory Board Director Chen Ju as having no children and "not thinking too much about the next generation." Tsai Ing-wen responded, "It is true that I do not have children of my own, but I will do my best to protect every child in Taiwan." Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan first called his remarks "inspiring" and then reversed course. Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Taichung mayor He Xinchun stressed that one should not prove one's right by belittling others' life choices.

Musician Luo Dayou sparked controversy when he named former President Tsai Ing-wen, former Vice President Hsiao Meiqin, and former Supervisory Board Director Chen Ju as having no children and "not thinking too much about the next generation." Tsai Ing-wen responded, "It is true that I do not have children of my own, but I will do my best to protect every child in Taiwan." Many people cried. Taipei Mayor Chiang Man-an first called the remarks "inspiring" and then reversed course. Democratic Progressive Party Taichung mayoral candidate Ho Hsinchun emphasized that those named have dedicated their lives to Taiwan's democracy and freedom and do not need to belittle others' life choices to prove themselves right.

Su Qiaohui, the New Taipei City mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, said that she treats tomorrow's public television political opinion briefing with a normal mind and is fully prepared, and will take care of both the legislator and candidate work.

Qiu Chui, chairman of the Mainland Affairs Council, pointed out in the Legislative Yuan that the Chinese Communist Party will implement the "National Unity and Progress Promotion Law" in July, linking "national unity" with "ethnic unity," and unilaterally giving the Taiwanese people the legal obligation to bear "unification." He also mentioned the CCP’s warplanes and ships disrupting Taiwan, the new entry and exit regulations in September to expand information surveillance, and the threat of transnational repression, stressing that the government will implement the four pillars of peace and other plans to safeguard national sovereignty and security.

Senior musician Luo Dayou criticized the Lai Ching-te government in an exclusive interview, and named Tsai Ing-wen, Xiao Meiqin, Chen Ju and other childless women for not thinking too much about the next generation. Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan first described it as "inspiring", but later changed his tone and said that he had different views on judging women's contributions based on their marital and childbearing status. Ye Yaoyuan, chair professor of international studies at the University of St. Thomas in the United States, questioned whether Jiang Wanan may have commented at will without knowing the content in advance, or he may have known the content but followed the trend, showing that he only wanted to lead the trend but had no central idea. Netizens blasted his social media and ridiculed him for "reading random comments".

About 4 million workers in Spain held a nationwide general strike on the 11th to protest against the worsening housing crisis. The number of participants accounted for about one-fifth of the country's working population. The strike ended largely peacefully, but clashes between police and civilians broke out in parts of Barcelona and Madrid in the evening, and at least 73 people were arrested. The strike, less than three weeks before the parliamentary election on the 29th, is the first nationwide strike since the euro zone debt crisis in 2012.
