2022.10.02 印尼踩踏事件中丧生

Russian troops retreated from Lyman, a key logistics hub in Donetsk, hours after Ukrainian forces entered the city. Ukraine said the recapture would allow its military to advance into Luhansk, a region Russia took over in July. The retreat comes after Vladimir Putin’s illegal annexation of four regions of Ukraine, including Donetsk and Luhank. Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Chechnya, a region in southern Russia, urged Mr Putin to take “more drastic measures”, including “the use of low-yield nuclear weapons”.

At least 174 people were killed in a stampede after a football match in Indonesia. Supporters of Arema FC, a club from Malang, East Java, rushed onto the pitch after their team lost to regional rivals, Persebaya Surabaya. Local police retaliated with tear gas which triggered a stampede, according to the region’s police chief. Fixtures in the league have been suspended until an investigation is completed.

The death toll from Hurricane Ian continued to rise as it moved into Virginia. At least 54 people have died so far—almost all of them in Florida. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are without power. President Joe Biden will visit Florida on Wednesday to survey the damage there. Ian is expected to dissipate by Sunday morning.

Liz Truss acknowledged that her government should have laid “the ground better” for her mini-budget on September 23rd; the extensive tax cuts provoked a panic on the money markets and a run on the pound. Britain’s prime minister was answering questions in an interview on the eve of her Conservative Party’s annual conference. She nonetheless stood by the cuts and her general economic policy.

America and Venezuela conducted a prisoner swap, with seven Americans exchanged for two relatives of Nicolás Maduro, Venezuela’s president. The freed Americans included five executives from Citgo, an oil company. The transfer, a result of months of secretive talks between both governments, does not change America’s policy towards Venezuela, according to an American offical.

Exit polls from Latvia showed that New Unity, a party led by Prime Minister Krisjanis Karins, a staunch critic of Vladimir Putin, was set to win the general election by a sizeable margin. Its political rival, the Harmony party, which draws most of its support from Latvia's ethnic Russian population, is projected to have not won enough votes to enter parliament.

Poland began to receive gas from Norway through a new pipeline running from the Baltic Sea to Poland via Denmark. The Baltic Pipe will help diversify Poland’s gas supplies away from Russia. Meanwhile, Bulgaria and Greece began operating their long-delayed gas pipeline. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, called it a “game changer” and said it would deliver “freedom from dependency on Russian gas”.

Seeking investment, Ukraine hosts a business shindig

PHOTO: COURTESY OF IT ARENA 2022
The backdrop for IT Arena 2022, a business conference that ends on Saturday in Lviv, in western Ukraine, looks grim. On Friday Russia forcibly annexed a sizable chunk of the country, annual inflation is around 20%, wages have been cut and Ukraine’s economy is on track to shrink this year by nearly a third. But conditions could be worse. Earlier in the war it looked as though GDP would fall by half. Unemployment is falling, albeit from frightful heights. Hiring is strongest in western areas such as Lviv, where IT Arena 2022 attendees have gathered at secret venues. One is underground; the other has bomb shelters.

Aiming to make the most of Ukraine’s reputation for resourceful resistance and plucky entrepreneurialism, the government has launched Advantage Ukraine, a programme to boost foreign investment. Red tape is being cut. Hundreds of permit requirements have been scrapped. Ukraine, its economy minister says, seeks not humanitarian aid, but investment, which “we understand…as blood for the Ukrainian economy”.

China’s National Day holidays

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
In normal times, China’s “Golden Week” vacation, which begins on Saturday, calls forth a glut of holiday spending. But wallets are lighter this year. Sporadic lockdowns to stamp out covid-19 have worsened an economic slump. Would-be travellers also fear getting trapped—150,000 got stuck at the beach resorts of Hainan, a southern island province, during a covid outbreak this summer. Tourist spending during last year’s holidays was just 60% of that in pre-covid times. This year could be worse.

The Communist Party will try to cheer up gloomy staycationers. State media call for patriotic “positive energy” in time for a party congress later in October, at which Xi Jinping is likely to be awarded a third term as leader. A film about heroic diplomats rescuing overseas Chinese from a war zone will hit cinemas, to lift spirits. “The motherland will never leave behind any citizen,” intones one character in the film’s trailer. Officials will hope a lockdown does not close cinemas and stop people getting the patriotic message.

A documentary about sisterhood in Myanmar

PHOTO: COURTESY OF DOGWOOF
When the Burmese army drove 700,000 Rohingyas, a mainly Muslim ethnic minoritiy, out of Myanmar in 2017, the news that reached the rest of the country was mostly state propaganda demonising those forced into exile. Filmed between 2016 and 2021 in a Rakhine village, Snow Hnin Ei Hlaing’s documentary tells a different tale. “Midwives”, which won a prize at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and was released in Britain on Friday, follows Hla, a tough-talking Buddhist Rakhine midwife and Nyo Nyo, her ambitious Muslim Rohingya apprentice.

Their friendship is tested by personal quarrels, as well as by escalating conflict and racial hatred. The babies they deliver, born into the world’s largest stateless minority, face an uncertain future. But the women are united in their mission to help Rohingya mothers and other patients. The country’s Bamar ethnic majority, says Ms Snow Hlaing, found a new solidarity with persecuted minorities after a bloody coup last February. “The whole country became like the Rohingya.”

Black rhinos may be better off hornless

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
It is a sorry state of affairs when protecting a species from annihilation requires hacking off its most prominent feature. Nevertheless, that is what many African rhinoceros reserves have resorted to, to protect their charges from poachers. Dehorning rhinos is seen as the ultimate poacher-deterrent—it is the value of the horn that they are willing to kill for. And although dehorning is painless, its critics have suggested it may harm rhinos’ well-being or reproduction.

A study in the European Journal of Wildlife Research allays some of those fears. It looked at four subpopulations of black rhinos in Namibia, three of which had undergone dehorning. Reassuringly, in all markers of population growth (lifespan, birth rates and offspring survival) dehorned rhinos were doing just as well as horned ones. And while a hornless rhino may look somewhat diminished, it is certainly preferable to one slain by poachers.

Weekend profile: Yevgeny Prigozhin, Putin’s private-army supremo

PHOTO: ALAMY
This week Yevgeny Prigozhin stepped out of the shadows. The close ally of Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, admitted for the first time that he founded the Wagner Group, a network of guns-for-hire that does much of Russia’s dirty work. “I cleaned the old weapons myself, sorted out the bulletproof vests myself,” said Mr Prigozhin of Wagner’s early days.

The mercenaries emerged in Ukraine in 2014 to aid Russia’s annexation of Crimea and back up pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Donbas region. The group then expanded wherever Russia had an interest, including Syria, Libya, the Central African Republic and Mali.

As for Mr Prigozhin, little is known about his childhood. He spent most of his 20s in prison, serving nine years for robbery and fraud. After his release, he set up a hot-dog stand in St Petersburg in the 1990s. He soon opened chic eateries: his New Island floating restaurant was a favourite of Mr Putin, at the time deputy mayor of St Petersburg. His associations with Russia’s elite brought lucrative catering gigs for schools, hospitals and the army—and earned him the nickname “Putin’s Chef”. But it was his work outside the kitchen that earned him a reputation in the West. In 2018 American prosecutors indicted Mr Prigozhin, alleging that he financed a Russian “troll farm” to spread online misinformation during the presidential election in 2016.

Mr Prigozhin long denied involvement in Wagner’s bloody operation, and sued journalists who suggested as much. Since the outbreak of war in Ukraine the group may have helped capture several eastern cities. Mr Prigozhin is putting his name to that. He may think that Russia’s tattered relationship with the West means there is no more point in maintaining the open secret. He may also be reminding Mr Putin, amid battlefield losses and a backlash against mobilisation at home, of his loyalty and value.

Leopoldstadt comes to New York

PHOTO: JOAN MARCUS
Often hailed as Britain’s greatest living playwright, Tom Stoppard has long used his erudite, linguistically dazzling plays to probe philosophical ideas. But his latest work, “Leopoldstadt”, gets more personal. Set in Vienna between 1899 and 1955, it traces the fate of a large and very well-off Jewish family that had assumed that success and assimilation made them more Viennese than Jewish. As the decades pass, they learn that their finery and oil portraits won’t keep them out of Auschwitz.

At 85, Sir Tom seems to be finally reckoning with his own inheritance, having lost his four Jewish grandparents and much of his Czech family to the horrors of the Holocaust. With this play, he elegantly conveys the guilt that comes with survival, and the duty to remember what was lost. The show, now at the Longacre Theatre on Broadway after an acclaimed run in London, also reminds the audience that this all happened not so long ago.

One nation, one fertiliser in India

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
No government in India wishes to upset farmers, a votebank of more than 100m. So when the war in Ukraine sent fertiliser prices soaring, the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party was quick to act. Within two months it announced new subsidies worth $8bn, on top of bulky existing ones. As a result, the expected cost of subsidising fertilisers this fiscal year will reach 2.5trn rupees ($31bn), around 1% of the country’s GDP.

Naturally, the government also wants to get credit for this largesse. From Sunday all bags of fertiliser sold in the country must be emblazoned with government insignia. Private fertiliser firms complain this will hurt their brands, but the government insists that uniformity will streamline distribution. The opposition has called the move a marketing gimmick by Narendra Modi, the prime minister, and the BJP. There is a clue in the project’s official name: Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojna, meaning Prime Minister’s all-India fertiliser scheme, which shortens handily to “PMBJP”.

Will Brazil get rid of Bolsonaro?

PHOTO: GETTY IMAGES
Brazilians cast their ballots on Sunday in the first round of a presidential election that pits the right-wing populist president, Jair Bolsonaro, against leftist former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The campaign has been marked by polarisation and violence. Polls suggest that Lula will beat Mr Bolsonaro by anywhere from six to 17 percentage points.

But can Lula win the election outright? If no candidate gets more than 50% of votes in the first round, a run-off will be held on October 30th. Some polls suggest that Lula could pull it off. A “switch the vote” campaign seeks to convince backers of Ciro Gomes and Simone Tebet, candidates with around 5% apiece, to vote instead for Lula. Many fear that Mr Bolsonaro will reject the result if he loses. Should Lula manage a first-round win, Mr Bolsonaro will have a tough time upholding his bogus claims of fraud. But like his hero, Donald Trump, that won’t stop him from trying.

The hidden meaning of horror

PHOTO: EPIX
Blumhouse Productions, a film and television company, is responsible for some of the most popular horror movies of the past couple of decades. “Paranormal Activity”, a film presented as if it was made up of found video recordings, was released in 2007 and earned almost $200m from a paltry production budget of $15,000. “The Purge” franchise has made more than $450m at the box office.

The company has now lent its name to “Blumhouse’s Compendium of Horror”, a documentary series which airs on Sunday in America. The show makes a simple—and somewhat repetitive—argument: that the horror genre, far from purveying cheap, gory thrills, has always held a mirror up to society. “Dracula”, the talking heads say, encapsulated feelings about the wealthy during the Great Depression. “Godzilla” drew on Japanese viewers’ grim memories of atomic bombs. Blumhouse, it seems, considers itself part of a venerable tradition of collective catharsis.

No one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend.

在乌克兰军队进入顿涅茨克市数小时后，俄罗斯军队从该市的一个关键后勤中心莱曼撤退。乌克兰表示，这次收复将使其军队能够挺进卢甘斯克，该地区是俄罗斯在7月占领的。撤退是在弗拉基米尔-普京非法吞并乌克兰的四个地区，包括顿涅茨克和卢汉克之后发生的。俄罗斯南部地区车臣的领导人拉姆赞-卡德罗夫敦促普京先生采取 "更严厉的措施"，包括 "使用低当量核武器"。

在印度尼西亚的一场足球比赛后，至少有174人在踩踏事件中丧生。东爪哇省马朗市的Arema FC俱乐部的支持者在他们的球队输给地区对手Persebaya Surabaya后冲进球场。据该地区的警察局长说，当地警察用催泪瓦斯进行报复，引发了一场踩踏事件。在调查结束之前，该联赛的比赛已经暂停。

飓风伊恩的死亡人数继续上升，因为它进入了弗吉尼亚州。到目前为止，至少有54人死亡--几乎所有的人都在佛罗里达。数十万美国人没有电。乔-拜登总统将于周三访问佛罗里达州，调查那里的破坏情况。伊恩预计将在周日上午消散。

Liz Truss承认，她的政府应该为其9月23日的小型预算奠定 "更好的基础"；广泛的减税措施引发了货币市场的恐慌和英镑的挤兑。英国首相在其保守党年度会议前夕接受采访时回答了问题。然而，她仍然坚持削减开支和她的总体经济政策。

美国和委内瑞拉进行了一次囚犯交换，用七名美国人换取委内瑞拉总统尼古拉斯-马杜罗的两名亲属。获释的美国人包括石油公司Citgo的五名高管。据一位美国官员说，这次移交是两国政府之间几个月秘密会谈的结果，并没有改变美国对委内瑞拉的政策。

拉脱维亚的出口民调显示，由总理Krisjanis Karins领导的新团结党，是弗拉基米尔-普京的坚定批评者，将以相当大的优势赢得大选。其政治对手和谐党的大部分支持来自拉脱维亚的俄罗斯族人口，预计该党没有赢得足够的选票进入议会。

波兰开始通过一条从波罗的海经丹麦到波兰的新管道接收来自挪威的天然气。波罗的海管道将帮助波兰实现天然气供应的多样化，使其远离俄罗斯。与此同时，保加利亚和希腊开始运营他们拖延已久的天然气管道。欧盟委员会主席Ursula von der Leyen称其为 "游戏规则的改变者"，并称其将带来 "摆脱对俄罗斯天然气的依赖"。

寻求投资，乌克兰举办商业盛会

照片。IT竞技场2022提供
IT Arena 2022是一个商业会议，周六在乌克兰西部的利沃夫结束，其背景看起来很严峻。上周五，俄罗斯强行吞并了该国相当大的一部分地区，每年的通货膨胀率约为20%，工资被削减，乌克兰的经济今年将缩减近三分之一。但情况可能更糟。在战争的早期，国内生产总值似乎会下降一半。失业率正在下降，尽管是在可怕的高度上。利沃夫等西部地区的招聘情况最为火爆，2022年IT竞技场的参会者都聚集在秘密场所。一个在地下，另一个有防空洞。

为了充分利用乌克兰机智的抵抗和勇敢的创业精神的声誉，政府推出了 "优势乌克兰 "计划，以促进外国投资。繁文缛节正在被削减。数以百计的许可证要求已经被取消了。乌克兰经济部长说，乌克兰寻求的不是人道主义援助，而是投资，"我们认为......这是乌克兰经济的血液"。

中国的国庆节假期

在正常情况下，中国的 "黄金周 "假期从周六开始，会带来大量的假日消费。但是今年的钱包比较轻。为杜绝贪污腐败而采取的零星封锁措施使经济不景气进一步恶化。想去旅游的人也担心被困住--在今年夏天爆发的牛痘疫情中，有15万人被困在南部岛屿省份海南的海滩度假区。去年假期中的游客消费仅相当于大肠杆菌爆发前的60%。今年的情况可能更糟。

共产党将试图让阴郁的度假者高兴起来。国家媒体呼吁爱国的 "正能量"，以迎接10月下旬的党代会，习近平很可能在会上被授予第三个领导人任期。一部关于英雄外交官从战区营救海外华人的电影将在电影院上映，以振奋人心。"祖国永远不会抛弃任何公民，"影片预告片中的一个角色这样说。官员们希望电影院不会因为封锁而关闭，并阻止人们获得爱国的信息。

一部关于缅甸姐妹情谊的纪录片

照片。由Dogwoof提供
2017年，当缅甸军队将70万罗兴亚人（主要是穆斯林少数民族）赶出缅甸时，传到该国其他地区的新闻大多是国家宣传，将那些被迫流亡的人妖魔化。2016年至2021年期间在若开邦的一个村庄拍摄，斯诺-赫宁-艾莱的纪录片讲述了一个不同的故事。"助产士》在今年的圣丹斯电影节上获得了奖项，并于周五在英国上映，该片讲述了说话强硬的若开族助产士Hla和她雄心勃勃的穆斯林罗兴亚族学徒Nyo Nyo的故事。

他们的友谊受到了个人争吵以及不断升级的冲突和种族仇恨的考验。她们所接生的婴儿是世界上最大的无国籍少数民族，面临着不确定的未来。但是，这些妇女在帮助罗兴亚族母亲和其他病人的任务中团结一致。斯诺-哈林女士说，在去年2月的一场血腥政变后，该国的巴马族大多数人找到了与受迫害少数民族的新团结。"整个国家都变得像罗兴亚人一样。"

黑犀牛没有角可能会好一些

照片。GETTY IMAGES
当保护一个物种不被消灭需要砍掉它最突出的特征时，这是一个令人遗憾的状况。然而，这正是许多非洲犀牛保护区所采取的措施，以保护他们的猎物免遭偷猎者的侵害。给犀牛去角被认为是对偷猎者的最终威慑--他们愿意为犀牛角的价值而杀人。尽管去角是无痛的，但批评者认为它可能会损害犀牛的健康或繁殖。

欧洲野生动物研究杂志》上的一项研究缓解了其中的一些担忧。它研究了纳米比亚的四个黑犀牛亚种群，其中三个已经进行了去角。令人欣慰的是，在种群增长的所有标志中（寿命、出生率和后代存活率），去角的犀牛与有角的犀牛一样表现良好。虽然无角的犀牛可能看起来有些萎靡不振，但它肯定比被偷猎者杀害的犀牛要好。

周末简介。叶夫根尼-普里戈津，普京的私人军队领袖

照片。阿拉米
本周，叶夫根尼-普里戈津走出了阴影。这位俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔-普京的亲密盟友首次承认，他创立了瓦格纳集团，这是一个雇佣枪支的网络，为俄罗斯做了很多肮脏的工作。"普里戈津先生谈到瓦格纳的早期时说："我亲自清理旧武器，亲自整理防弹衣。

这些雇佣兵于2014年出现在乌克兰，协助俄罗斯吞并克里米亚，并支持东部顿巴斯地区的亲俄分裂分子。随后，该组织向俄罗斯感兴趣的地方扩张，包括叙利亚、利比亚、中非共和国和马里。

至于普里戈津先生，人们对他的童年知之甚少。他20多岁的时候大部分时间都在监狱中度过，因抢劫和欺诈服刑9年。出狱后，他于1990年代在圣彼得堡建立了一个热狗摊。他很快开设了别致的餐厅：他的新岛漂流餐厅是普京先生的最爱，当时他是圣彼得堡的副市长。他与俄罗斯精英的联系为学校、医院和军队带来了有利可图的餐饮工作，并为他赢得了 "普京的厨师 "的绰号。但正是他在厨房之外的工作为他在西方赢得了声誉。2018年，美国检察官起诉普里戈津先生，指控他在2016年总统选举期间资助俄罗斯 "巨魔农场 "在网上传播错误信息。

普里戈津先生长期否认参与瓦格纳的血腥行动，并起诉了提出同样建议的记者。自乌克兰战争爆发以来，该组织可能已经帮助占领了几个东部城市。普里戈津先生正在为其正名。他可能认为，俄罗斯与西方的关系破裂，意味着维持公开的秘密已经没有意义。他可能也在提醒普京先生，在战场上的损失和国内对动员的反弹中，他的忠诚和价值。

Leopoldstadt来到纽约

汤姆-斯托帕德经常被誉为英国在世的最伟大的剧作家，他长期以来一直用他博学的、语言上令人眼花缭乱的戏剧来探索哲学思想。但他的最新作品《利奥波德城》则更加个人化。该剧以1899年至1955年期间的维也纳为背景，追溯了一个非常富裕的犹太家庭的命运，他们认为成功和同化使他们更像维也纳人而不是犹太人。随着时间的推移，他们了解到，他们的装饰品和油画肖像并不能使他们远离奥斯威辛。

85岁的汤姆爵士似乎终于开始考虑自己的遗产问题，他的四位犹太祖父母和大部分捷克家人都在大屠杀的恐怖中丧生。通过这部剧，他优雅地传达了生存带来的内疚感，以及记住失去的东西的责任。该剧在伦敦广受赞誉的演出后，现在在百老汇的朗格剧院上演，也提醒观众，这一切发生在不久之前。

印度的一个国家，一种化肥

照片。GETTY IMAGES
在印度，没有哪个政府希望让农民不高兴，他们有1亿多的选民。因此，当乌克兰战争使化肥价格飙升时，执政的印度人民党迅速采取行动。在两个月内，它宣布了价值80亿美元的新补贴，在庞大的现有补贴基础上又增加了新补贴。因此，本财政年度的化肥补贴成本预计将达到25万卢比（310亿美元），约占该国GDP的1%。

自然，政府也想为这一慷慨之举获得荣誉。从周日开始，所有在国内销售的化肥袋都必须印有政府标志。私营化肥公司抱怨这将损害他们的品牌，但政府坚持认为，统一性将简化分销。反对派称此举是总理纳伦德拉-莫迪和印度人民党的营销噱头。这个项目的正式名称中有一个线索：Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Urvarak Pariyojna，意思是总理的全印度化肥计划，方便地缩短为 "PMBJP"。

巴西人周日在第一轮总统选举中投票，右翼民粹主义总统贾伊尔-博尔索纳罗与左翼前总统路易斯-伊纳西奥-卢拉-达席尔瓦对决。竞选活动的特点是两极分化和暴力。民意调查显示，卢拉将以6至17个百分点的优势击败博尔索纳罗先生。

但卢拉能彻底赢得选举吗？如果在第一轮选举中没有候选人获得超过50%的选票，第二轮选举将于10月30日举行。一些民意调查显示，卢拉可能会成功。一场 "换票 "运动试图说服Ciro Gomes和Simone Tebet的支持者将票投给卢拉，这两位候选人的得票率各为5%左右。许多人担心，如果博尔索纳罗先生输了，他将拒绝这个结果。如果卢拉在第一轮选举中获胜，博尔索纳罗先生将很难坚持其虚假的欺诈指控。但就像他的英雄唐纳德-特朗普一样，这并不能阻止他的尝试。
