1. Binyamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said that his cabinet had approved the Gaza ceasefire deal by 24 votes to eight on Saturday, paving the way for the agreement to take effect on Sunday. Hamas is expected to release three female hostages that day in exchange for 95 Palestinian prisoners. Mr. Netanyahu warned on Saturday that Israel will not proceed until Hamas provides a list of hostages to be released. 以色列總理班傑明·內塔尼亞胡表示，他的內閣已於週六以24票對8票批准了加沙停火協議，為該協議於週日生效鋪平了道路。哈瑪斯預計當天將釋放三名女性人質，以換取95名巴勒斯坦囚犯。內塔尼亞胡週六警告說，除非哈瑪斯提供將被釋放人質的名單，以色列將不會繼續推進該協議。 2. TikTok said it would “go dark” in America unless Joe Biden assured it that he would not enforce a potential embargo on his last day in office. On Friday the Supreme Court upheld a law forcing the app’s Chinese owner, ByteDance, to sell it by Sunday or face a nationwide ban. The outgoing administration said that enforcement is up to Donald Trump, who **takes office **on Monday. 抖音表示，除非喬·拜登保證他在任期最後一天不會執行潛在的禁令，否則該app將在美國「熄燈」。週五，美國最高法院維持了一項法律，要求該app的中國母公司字節跳動在週日前出售抖音，否則將面臨全國性的禁令。即將卸任的政府表示，執行該法律的責任將由週一上任的唐納德·川普決定。 3. Thousands of protesters, mostly women, marched in Washington in protest against Mr Trump’s inauguration. Monday’s event will be moved indoors due to freezing weather, the first time in 40 years that a swearing-in ceremony has been relocated inside the Capitol. The change will deprive him of the large outdoor crowds that he so prizes. 數千名抗議者（主要是女性）在華盛頓遊行，抗議川普的就職典禮。週一的活動因嚴寒天氣將改在室內舉行，這是40年來首次將宣誓儀式移至國會大廈內部。此舉將使川普失去他極為重視的大型戶外人群場面。 4. America’s Federal Aviation Administration groundedSpaceX’s Starship programme while an investigation into why one of the firm’s rockets exploded is conducted. The vessel burst into flames shortly after launch in Texas, possibly following an oxygen or fuel leak. The upper stage came to earth over the northern Caribbean, disrupting flights. Despite the failure, SpaceX successfully landed the rocket’s reusable booster. 美國聯邦航空管理局（FAA）暫停了SpaceX的「星艦」計劃，並對該公司一枚火箭爆炸的原因展開調查。這艘航天器在德克薩斯州發射後不久即起火燃燒，可能是因氧氣或燃料洩漏所致。火箭的上級階段墜落於加勒比海北部，導致航班中斷。儘管此次失敗，SpaceX仍成功回收並著陸了火箭的可重複使用推進器。 5. A gunman shot dead two senior judges in Iran’s Supreme Court in Tehran, before killing himself. Officials said the** motive** was unclear, but suggested that “enemies” of the state were behind the attack. The judges, Mohammad Moghiseh and Ali Razini, had presided over cases involving espionage, terrorism and dissidents. 一名槍手在德黑蘭槍殺了伊朗最高法院的兩名高級法官，隨後自殺。官員表示動機尚不明確，但暗示國家的「敵人」可能是此次襲擊的幕後黑手。被殺的法官穆罕默德·莫吉塞赫和阿里·拉齊尼曾審理涉及間諜活動、恐怖主義及持不同政見者的案件。 6. At least 70 people died in the north of Nigeria when a petrol tanker overturned and exploded. Many of the victims had been collecting leaking fuel. Such accidents are common in Nigeria, where petrol prices have soared since 2023. In October a similar blast in the Jigawa state killed 147 people in one of the country’s deadliest fuel explosions. 奈及利亞北部發生一起油罐車翻覆並爆炸的事件，至少造成70人死亡。許多受害者當時正在收集洩漏的燃油。此類事故在奈及利亞很常見，尤其自2023年以來，汽油價格大幅上漲。去年10月，吉加瓦州發生一起類似的爆炸，造成147人死亡，成為該國最致命的燃油爆炸事件之一。小分享: 經濟學人的訃聞提到瓊瑤- 跨業交流會的企業模仿models 1) 迅速跟隨 2) 後發優勢 3) 同質化 4) 正向模仿 5) 反向模仿 -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
