当地时间11日,数千人聚集在美国纽约世贸中心遗址广场,悼念25年前“9·11”恐怖袭击事件中的遇难者。

出席纪念仪式的人除了遇难者亲属,还包括美国副总统万斯、美国前总统拜登、美国前总统奥巴马、美国前总统乔治·W·布什、美国前总统克林顿等。纽约州及纽约市现任和历任多位州长、市长也来到现场。

当天上午8点40分许,由纽约市警察、消防员等组成的仪仗队高举美国国旗走上讲台,青年合唱团唱响美国国歌,纪念仪式正式开始。8点46分,悼念的钟声响起,全场默哀。随后,在大提琴家马友友以及乐团乐手的演奏中,遇难者亲属代表登台,依次念出所有遇难者姓名。

与往年不同的是,今年的纪念仪式共设七次默哀,前六次对应“9·11”事件中的六个时间节点,第七次则悼念“9·11”事件后因相关疾病去世的救援人员、善后工作人员及其他受影响者。

2001年9月11日8点46分,一架客机撞击纽约世贸中心北塔;9点03分,第二架客机撞击南塔;9点37分,五角大楼遭一架客机撞击;9点59分,南塔倒塌;10点03分,一架客机在宾夕法尼亚州尚克斯维尔镇坠毁;10点28分,北塔倒塌。整个事件中,恐怖分子劫持4架客机,近3000人丧生。在事件发生后的救援和重建工作中,数十万人接触瓦砾和粉尘中的危险及有毒物质,导致许多人患上慢性疾病,数千人因病去世。

“9·11”国家纪念博物馆馆长兼首席执行官希尔曼对记者表示,美国如今约三分之一人口因年龄原因对“9·11”事件没有记忆。随着越来越多没有亲历那一天的人长大成人,这一纪念仪式显得尤为重要。该博物馆将恪守“永不忘记”的承诺,让这段历史代代相传。

当天,纽约的“9·11”纪念活动还包括林肯中心喷泉广场缅怀逝者舞蹈演出、布莱恩公园空椅静默致敬、消防博物馆献花仪式、全市教堂鸣钟、“归零地”附近点亮象征“双子塔”大厦蓝色灯柱、世贸中心重建项目佩雷尔曼表演艺术中心“追忆之声”音乐会等。

除纽约外,美国多地也举行活动悼念“9·11”事件遇难者。美国总统特朗普在出席五角大楼举行的纪念活动时致辞,将“9·11”事件与国家安全和反恐政策联系起来,称美国必须保持强大、警惕威胁。

UK House of Commons rejects end-of-life bill for terminally ill adults

The House of Commons of the British Parliament rejected the "Terminal Illness for Adults (End of Life) Bill" by 286 votes against and 270 votes in favor on September 11. The opposition only won by a slim margin of 16 votes. The bill, introduced by Labor MP Lauren Edwards, aims to allow mentally ill adult patients with less than six months to live and who are of sound mind to receive medical assistance to end their lives if they meet multiple assessment conditions. Opponents worry that the bill will be difficult to protect vulnerable groups, while supporters emphasize that patients should have the right to choose their own end of life. A similar bill was passed by the lower house in the previous parliament but not by the upper house. The rejection by the lower house means that the bill will not have further legislative steps, but members can introduce a similar bill again in the next parliament. Sponsor Edwards expressed disappointment but believed the issue would be raised again in the future.

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang completed the registration to run for election, and the blue-white cooperation model attracted attention

Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang completed the registration to run for the election. The Kuomintang and the People's Party promoted blue-white cooperation in Keelung and nominated four candidates, including former staff members and KMT legislative assistants. However, the People's Party's deputy mayor Qiu Peilin recently choked in a social message, exacerbating the blue-white split. The street sweeping auxiliary election schedule will enter the North-North Keitao area.
