Finless porpoises, Asian elephants … Wild animals frequently appear to witness the effectiveness of biodiversity protection in China.

CCTV News:Known as the "smiling angel", the Yangtze finless porpoise is the flagship species of aquatic life protection in the Yangtze River. In recent days, a Yangtze finless porpoise investigation team has repeatedly observed the scene of "mother and child dolphins" playing in the water during a field trip in Jingjiang City, Taizhou, Jiangsu Province.

On the morning of July 9, when the boats of the Yangtze finless porpoise investigation team drove to the memorial park of the "First Sail on the Eastern Line", the Yangtze finless porpoise frequently jumped out of the water, scattered around the boats in groups of three or five, and at least eight were observed.

Since 2021, Nanjing Institute of Environmental Sciences of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment and Jingjiang City have jointly conducted a biodiversity survey, and the Wetland College of Yancheng Normal University has set up an investigation team to carry out observation and research on finless porpoises in Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River. Although the recent hot weather and fast water flow in the Yangtze River are not conducive to the observation of finless porpoises, the investigation team has repeatedly observed finless porpoises in the river section and Xinqiao section of Mucheng Park. The frequent appearance of mother and child dolphins also reflects the stability of finless porpoises in Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River.

Wang Zhengfei, the leader of the Yangtze finless porpoise investigation team, said: "There are new individuals and mother and child porpoises, which means that such a group may be growing and the overall living conditions are good."

According to long-term scientific observation, there are two finless porpoises in Jingjiang section of the Yangtze River, with a population of about 40.

Yunnan: More than 20 Asian elephants "stroll" over the guardrail at high speed.

Recently, in the direction from Mengla to Shang Yong on Xiaomo Expressway in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, more than 20 wild Asian elephants "big families" crossed the guardrail, got on the expressway and "wandered" for a long time before leaving.

As can be seen from the monitoring screen, in the early morning of the 7 th, more than 20 Asian elephants moved slowly along the high speed. When the vehicle passed by, the elephants immediately dodged and protested with cries. Finally, at 7 o’clock in the morning, this group of Asian elephants left the expressway and entered the reserve.

52 national second-class protected birds were released into nature.

Recently, 52 national second-class protected birds were released to nature in Hulunbeier, Inner Mongolia, including 41 Mongolian larks and 11 larks. It is understood that in June this year, Hulunbeier City Public Security Bureau Hulun Lake National Nature Reserve Branch cracked an illegal poaching case and seized 106 young birds. After more than a month of professional rescue in the local area, 52 young birds were able to eat independently and have the ability to fly, reaching the standard of wild release. The remaining 54 young birds will return to the embrace of nature when they are released.

Driving safety

After the National Day holiday, after go on road trip, car owners must do a good job of cleaning their cars after a long journey, especially maintaining the tires, chassis, engine oil and shock-absorbing suspension in all directions, so that they can "recharge their batteries" before going on the road.

 

Whole body "SPA"

 

In the second half of the National Day holiday, "cooling+rainfall" was ushered in many places across the country. On the way by car, the vehicle will inevitably be "invaded" by mud and rain. Therefore, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the car body first, so as to avoid residual dust, mud, etc. staying in the car body for a long time and damaging the paint surface.

 

In addition, the car should also be carefully cleaned. It is inevitable to "eat, drink and drink" to replenish energy in the car while driving. Snack residues such as biscuits and bread will also be inadvertently scattered in the corner of the car. Food residues should also be carefully cleaned to prevent bacteria from forming and mildew, thus polluting the air inside the car. Need to be reminded that it is necessary to focus on thoroughly cleaning the steering wheel, foot pads, seat gaps, air conditioners and other parts.

 

base

 

In the process of go on road trip, drivers are unfamiliar with the passing roads, so when driving on uneven roads, they should be alert to whether the chassis is slightly rubbed. If you hear abnormal noise, the driver should check whether there is any hard injury on the chassis guard after ensuring that the vehicle is parked in a safe place. If there is any hard injury, then check whether there is oil leakage and listen to whether the car is whining. If there is such a situation, you need to go to a repair shop or a 4S shop for further careful inspection. If there is no oil leakage and abnormal noise, it is necessary to go to the 4S shop for inspection after returning.

 

In fact, after the chassis of a car encounters a flat object, the brake hydraulic pipes, fuel pipes and other pipes hidden in the grooves of the chassis steel plate are unlikely to be damaged. However, if you hit a sharp object such as a raised stone on the ground, you should pay special attention to whether it will cause damage to the pipeline behind the chassis.

 

Tire and brake system

 

Go on road trip often passes through places with complicated road conditions, especially those with uneven ground and lots of gravel, which have a certain impact on the tires. Therefore, when returning from driving, we should check the tires one by one to see if there are any cracks and scratches, and monitor whether the tire pressure is normal. In addition, it is best to clean the hidden gravel in the tires in time, but don’t dig with the car key to avoid hurting the tires. It is best to use professional tools or moderate knocking to remove the gravel in the tire gap.

 

In the process of go on road trip, it is inevitable that there will be frequent braking due to long downhill or other complicated sections, especially on the gravel pavement, and the broken gravel on the road will increase the wear of the brakes. Therefore, check the brake system. When it is found that the thickness of brake pad (disc) or brake shoe (drum) is close to or less than the minimum thickness specified by the manufacturer, it should be replaced immediately. In addition, if dents appear on the contact surface of the brake pad or brake shoe, they should be polished in time to ensure the contact area with the brake pad and improve the braking force.

 

Oil, liquid and filtration

 

Go on road trip should check the oil, filter and liquid before and after returning. Oil mainly includes engine oil, gearbox oil, steering wheel oil, brake oil, etc. Liquid mainly refers to coolant, brake fluid, glass liquid, etc. These are all items that need to be checked in time after the vehicle has been driving at high speed for a long time.

 

If the engine oil is lower than the minimum scale marked on the oil dipstick, the engine oil of the same brand and model should be added in time. If the color of the oil becomes turbid, it should be replaced immediately and the oil filter should be replaced at the same time. It should be noted that the brake oil will fail after a long time because it absorbs the moisture in the air. To replace the brake oil regularly, it is best to replace it once a year.

 

In addition, we should also do a good job in the inspection of automobile air conditioning filter elements and air filter elements. Because the air conditioning filter and air filter are easy to absorb more dust after running a long distance, it may cause poor engine work, excessive oil consumption and damage to the engine. If less dust and light blockage are found, high-pressure air can be used to blow it clean from the inside out and continue to use it. Dirty air filters should be replaced in time.

 

Damping suspension

 

After go on road trip, we should pay attention to whether the suspension parts need to be repaired. In fact, after the vehicle has been driving for a period of time, the suspension will have certain wear and tear. So how to judge whether the suspension is damaged? The Beijing News reporter combed the information and learned that if you feel very bumpy and shaky when driving, especially on the bumpy road, there will be a rolling sound, which may be a problem with the suspension.

 

If the vehicle deviates when turning, it may also be a problem with the suspension components. Different suspension components will affect the steering response, tire steering angle and vehicle balance center, which will make the vehicle cumbersome or difficult to steer.

 

In addition, stop quickly in a safe area and pay attention to the front of the car. If the front of the car will rush down, there will be problems with the front shock absorber or the rear shock absorber, which makes it difficult for the suspension to keep the car balanced under emergency braking. In addition, if you hear a dull metallic sound from the front of the vehicle, it means that there is something wrong with the control arm or the subframe bushing.

Dare to say no to tradition, sharp L mixed version is the optimal solution for home medium and large SUV.

Meitu 1

In 2024, no one can escape from a "new energy"-pure electricity, extended range, plug-in, oil-in, and even hydrogen energy (not yet popularized). Power alone is enough for the car white to burn the CPU.

Family travel, choose pure electricity, there will be mileage anxiety and charging troubles; If you choose to plug in or extend the range, you must bear the performance attenuation and fuel consumption increase when the battery is out of power. Then, is there a power scheme that can not only meet low fuel consumption, but also achieve high performance, and at the same time, there is no mileage anxiety and charging trouble, so that the whole family can travel with peace of mind?

Ford tells you: yes. This all-around soldier is the L mixed version.

Blue car

The only 2.0T high-horsepower E hybrid in its class can have both performance and energy saving.

Energy saving is our primary purpose in choosing hybrid models. In this regard, the sharp L mixed version released a big move as soon as it came up.

The fuel consumption performance of 6.31L/100km is comparable to that of Japanese competing models known as "fuel saving". A tank of oil (# 92) with a long cruising range of 1,188km has greatly expanded users’ travel radius and cruising confidence.

Behind this, the blessing of the motor is of course important, but the core of the core lies in Ford’s high-horsepower E-hybrid system, which adopts mature and reliable "power splitting" technology-coupling the engine and generator through the planetary gear mechanism to intelligently distribute the power, so that the vehicle is always in the most efficient running state, ensuring power output while minimizing fuel consumption.

Different from Toyota THS hybrid technology which also adopts planetary gear structure, Ford’s high-horsepower E hybrid system is simpler and more efficient. The driving motor is not directly connected to the planetary gear, but directly connected to the driving shaft, with shorter transmission path, higher driving efficiency, smoother and quieter operation and stronger power. Whether it is "pure electric drive" at start/low speed, "hybrid drive" at acceleration or "hybrid drive with electric assistance" at high speed cruise, the whole system can achieve the best balance between speed and fuel consumption under the efficient linkage of motor and engine. Coupled with the functions of "braking energy recovery" and "parking idle charging", the battery and motor are always in the best running state, which in turn feeds back the working efficiency of the whole system.

gearbox

Performance is another big killer thrown by Sharp L mixed version.

As we all know, the current mainstream hybrid vehicles are often a combination of "small horsepower engine+battery+motor". Whether it is the reduction of fuel consumption or the improvement of performance, it is closely related to the assistance of battery and motor. This leads to the insufficient performance of the motor when the battery is out of power, and it is difficult to maintain the power output and fuel consumption performance of the vehicle at high speed only by relying on the small horsepower engine. Especially for large and medium-sized SUVs with heavy body, the embarrassment that performance and energy saving are difficult to balance is more obvious.

To this end, Ford took the lead in equipping the Sharp L hybrid version with the only high-powered turbocharged engine in the current camp-the fifth-generation 2.0T EcoBoost from the world’s top ten engine series.?Double vortex turbocharging+double injection fuel system engine. The rated power of the engine reaches 202kW and the peak torque is 405 N m.. Matching with the engine is an electronically controlled stepless speed change system that can intelligently adjust the power output and motor operation. The motor also adopts a high-speed flat-wire oil-cooled motor with higher torque/power density and lower noise decibel, and the vehicle accelerates at zero speed in only 7.1 seconds. Outstanding performance ensures the power output of the vehicle, improves the driving pleasure, and shows Ford’s uncompromising attitude towards "high performance".

It turns out that the performance and energy saving for the whole family to travel with peace of mind can have both.

Power split architecture

It is worth mentioning that a small battery, sharp L mixed version of the same details full.

Compared with competing models, the Sharp L hybrid version has the advantages of high density, high rate charge and discharge, high safety and long cycle, and of course, the cost of the latter is higher. The battery is not only smaller in size, convenient to install on the chassis instead of under the seat, but also has better low-temperature thermal management ability and charging and discharging ability. At the same time, it performs well in severe tests such as high temperature, high pressure, durability and 1.5 times voltage overcharge exceeding the national standard, which ensures the safety of vehicle electricity in all directions.

battery

Not only that, Sharp L hybrid version supports intelligent switching between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive (millisecond response), which meets the economy in two-wheel drive mode and the passability in four-wheel drive mode. Compared with the E-Four electronic four-wheel drive system adopted by Japanese competing products to improve transmission efficiency (in order to save fuel), Sharp L hybrid version of the intelligent timely mechanical four-wheel drive system keeps the rear axle transmission shaft, which is superior in coping with bad road conditions and getting rid of difficulties.

These give Sharp L hybrid version the all-round performance of "small movement, big power, low energy consumption and true four-wheel drive". Compared with other hybrid models that sacrifice power and four-wheel drive performance for energy saving, Sharp L hybrid version gives the whole family more calmness and confidence in traveling.

Comparable to the "first class" of business MPV, the big seven seats can’t just be "big"

As a medium and large SUV that focuses on family cars, Sharp L Hybrid Edition also has its own unique understanding of the definition of Big Seven.

In addition to the excellent performance of the second and third rows of space brought by the super-long wheelbase of 2950mm, Sharp L Hybrid Edition innovatively adopts 2+2+3, which can be freely switched between "luxury big four seats", "super big five seats" and "comfortable big seven seats" to realize "every seat is a VIP". At the same time, the 223 not only does not need to move the second row of seats in and out of the third row, but also the width of the central passage reserved after the armrest of the second row of seats is 200mm, even better than the mainstream business MPV such as GL8/, which is more convenient for the third row of passengers to enter and leave.

Interior 1Two rows of channels

Not only the space, but also the sharp L hybrid version has the performance comparable to MPV in terms of ride comfort. In particular, MPV is proud of the second row of "big sofas", and the sharp L mixed version has released a unique "big move" of the same level-double suspended first class seats.

The seat supports one-button near-zero gravity mode (the seat is 41 degrees backward and the leg rest is 50 degrees upward), one-button cruise reset (convenient entry and exit) and one-button exclusive mode (the second row has the largest space), and its functions are far superior to those of the same class or even better than some commercial MPVs. In addition, the seat is optimized for China’s human body characteristics from the dimensions of hardness, wrapping and seat adjustment, and is equipped with functions such as heating, ventilation, dual wireless charging and USB+Type C interface. It is the most powerful and comfortable second-row seat in its class.

Second row seat

A more reasonable spatial layout and two rows of double suspended seats far beyond the competing products make Sharp L Hybrid Edition have the comfort of commercial MPV and the versatility of medium and large SUVs, and it is still exciting to drive, and the key is to save fuel. This is the new definition and self-cultivation of Sharp L Hybrid Edition for the big seven-seat SUV. The whole family travels with peace of mind and comfort.

Leading not only one side, but all aspects.

You think this is over? No. Adhering to the principle of overall leadership, Sharp L Hybrid Edition has also performed well in intelligence, safety and health.

airbag

Sharp L Hybrid Edition is equipped with the only 12.3-inch +27-inch ultra-wide HD 4K giant screen +HUD head-up display in its class, bringing an intuitive and visual extrasensory intelligent interconnection experience; More predictive L2+ Ford Co-Polit 360TMZhixing driver assistance system, with over 20 active driver assistance functions and unique V2I vehicle-road coordination ability at the same level, gives Sharp L safer travel protection; There is also a second-generation AAR enhanced "Blue Shield" full-time intelligent ventilation system that supports automatic ventilation when the vehicle is vacant to protect healthy travel.

Queen seat

It is worth mentioning that by virtue of its outstanding performance in the three aspects of "health, energy saving and environmental protection", Ruijie L has obtained the authoritative ecological certification from the Evaluation Center for Energy Saving and Green Development of Automobile Industry, including the air quality inside the car, the noise inside the car, the carbon emission in the life cycle of the car, the lead content in the harmful substance inside the car, the exhaust emission, reusability and recyclability, etc., and won the honor of "White Gold Medal Eco-car" with an excellent score of 95.1.

640

The only place where Sharp L Hybrid Edition has no "upgrade" is the price. Although the price of 249,800-309,800 yuan is lower than that of competing models as a whole, it is only a "guide price". At present, Sharp L Hybrid Edition has also introduced a preferential car purchase policy, which can be ordered by 1 yuan, and can enjoy a cash gift of up to 16,888 yuan, as well as a replacement subsidy of up to 10,000 yuan, which makes Sharp L Hybrid Edition have a more prominent advantage in quality-price ratio for competing models.

Conclusion:

Sharp L Hybrid Edition is a car that dares to say "no" to tradition. Refuse to compromise on performance, comfort and high price, and maintain excellent fuel economy, excellent intelligent performance, more reasonable spatial layout and Ford’s usual driving pleasure. Such a household "hexagonal warrior" with almost no short board and allowing the whole family to travel with peace of mind has made it the most popular model in the 7-seat SUV market for medium and large-sized households within 300,000.

Big data on divorce in the first quarter of the country: the number of divorces in Sichuan, Henan and Guangdong ranked in the top three.

  According to official data, after years of rising, the number of registered divorces declined for the first time in 2020. Through data comparison, CBN found that the number of divorce registrations in the first quarter of 2021 dropped by more than 70%, with only 296,000 pairs. According to the data of various provinces, the number of divorces in Sichuan, Henan and Guangdong ranked in the top three in the first quarter.

  It should be noted that, compared with marriage registration, there are two ways of divorce: civil affairs department registration divorce, court judgment and mediation divorce. What is counted here is the data of civil affairs department registration divorce, which is the main body of the total number of divorces.

  The number of divorces in the first quarter was only 296,000 couples.

  According to the latest data released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in the first quarter of this year, the number of registered divorces nationwide was only 296,000.

  According to the first financial reporter, the number of registered divorces in the fourth quarter of last year was 1.063 million pairs. Therefore, from the ring comparison, the number of registered divorces in the first quarter of this year decreased by 72.15%. On a year-on-year basis, due to the influence of epidemic factors in the first quarter of 2020, the data is not comparable, so compare it with the first quarter of 2019; In the first quarter of 2019, the number of registered divorces was 1.048 million, a decrease of 71.76% in the first quarter of this year compared with two years ago.

  Professor Dong Yuzheng, a population expert and president of Guangdong Population Development Research Institute, analyzed the First Financial Report and found that there are many reasons for the decline in the number of divorces, one of which is the implementation of the cooling-off period system for divorce.

  In order to implement the cooling-off period system for divorce in People’s Republic of China (PRC) Civil Code, which came into effect on January 1, 2021, the Ministry of Civil Affairs adjusted the marriage registration procedure and added a "cooling-off period for divorce" to the divorce procedure. Within 30 days after the expiration of the cooling-off period for divorce, if both parties fail to jointly apply to the marriage registration office for a divorce certificate, the application for divorce registration shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

  Dong Yuzheng analysis, the implementation of the divorce cooling-off period system, so that both parties to the marriage and their families, relatives and friends and other related personnel are calm down, maybe we can find a chance not to divorce, or divorce more rationally and firmly. In this way, some impulsive divorces may turn into more rational divorces or interrupt the divorce process. "The advantage of this is to turn the original divorce based on emotional outbursts, irrationality and excessive self-demand into a divorce that respects each other, considers the children and the future. Since the three views are inconsistent and intolerant of each other, we can’t go on together, so it’s good to get together. "

  "The implementation of the cooling-off period system for divorce can free many people from the relatively one-sided thinking and behavior of only looking at each other’s shortcomings in the past period of time, and become a more comprehensive and dialectical view of each other and themselves. Even if you really want to divorce, you don’t have to be enemies or enemies, but remember each other’s past, become familiar people and become friends. It is definitely better to have such a system than not to have such a system. " Dong Yuzheng said.

  From the practical operation, there are quite a few people who withdraw or give up divorce registration in various places. For example, in Jiangsu, after the cooling-off period was added in the divorce procedure on January 1 this year, as of April 15, 10303 couples who applied for divorce in Jiangsu had given up registration.

  In Wuhan, in January this year, Wuhan accepted a total of 3,096 divorce applications. As of March 5, the first batch of divorce registration was 1,309 couples/month, and about 58% of couples gave up registration after applying. In Nanchang, as of April 12 this year, 4,796 couples applied for divorce registration in Nanchang, and 1,621 couples successfully divorced, and 718 couples applied for divorce registration were cancelled, of which 42 couples voluntarily cancelled and 676 couples voluntarily gave up after expiration.

  Besides the cooling-off period of divorce, there are other factors. Dong Yuzheng said that from the age structure, many people who are divorced now are married in recent years, but the total number of married people has dropped rapidly in recent years. Many people who got married in recent years were born in the 1990s, when the birth population continued to decline under the family planning policy. When these people get married, of course, the total number of people who get married is also decreasing.

  In 2020, China’s marriage registration data was 8.131 million pairs. This is the second time that it has fallen below the 9 million mark after falling below the 10 million mark in 2019. This is also the lowest since 2003, only 60% of the peak in 2013. In the first quarter of this year, the number of married couples nationwide was only 2.132 million, a decrease of 24.3% compared with the first quarter of 2019 (2.815 million couples) two years ago.

  However, on the whole, the number of divorces dropped sharply in the first quarter, which is inevitable, but there are also some structural factors. In particular, many divorced couples "automatically" withdrew their divorce applications, but it doesn’t mean that they will give up their divorce. On the whole, there will be a delay effect, and the real effect of the divorce cooling-off period system will take longer to test.

  Sichuan has the largest number of divorces.

  Regionally, there are 12 provinces with more than 10,000 couples registered for divorce, among which the top ten provinces are Sichuan, Henan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing. Among them, Sichuan ranks first with 23,995 pairs, Henan ranks second with 22,049 pairs, and Guangdong, the province with the largest permanent population, ranks third with 19,166 pairs.

  Why are there many divorces in Sichuan and Henan in the first quarter? Dong Yuzheng analyzed that there are many migrant workers in these two places. Some couples have been away for a long time, and their feelings are cold. They want to divorce, so it is inconvenient to take time off during their work. They discuss going home during the Spring Festival and going through divorce procedures together. This is also a factor that affects the total number of divorces in the first quarter.

  On the other hand, although the resident population of Guangdong is as high as 126 million, ranking first in the country. But marriage and divorce are mainly linked to the registered population. Guangdong’s registered population is only 98.0866 million. In contrast, both Henan and Sichuan have a registered population significantly larger than the permanent population.

  For example, the resident population of Henan is 99.366 million. In addition, there are 16.1 million people who are registered in Henan and live and work in other provinces, an increase of 5.95 million or 58.62% compared with 2010. Only 1.27 million people from other provinces flowed into Henan Province, with a net outflow of 14.83 million people from the province. In other words, the total registered population of Henan reached 114.19 million. There is a similar situation in Sichuan, where the permanent population is 83.67 million, but the registered population is more than 90 million, and the net outflow of population is also very large.

  Ding Changfa, an associate professor in the Department of Economics of Xiamen University, analyzed the First Financial Report. In places where the registered population has a large outflow, the number of divorces has increased due to various factors such as the long-term separation of many couples.

  This phenomenon objectively requires that the developed coastal areas should speed up the pace of citizenization of foreign population. Ding Changfa believes that the developed coastal areas should speed up the reform of the household registration system and the urbanization of migrant workers. These places should speed up the shortcomings of public services such as medical care, education, old-age care and housing, so that migrant workers can better integrate.

  After Sichuan and Henan, the number of divorces in Guangdong, the largest economic province in the first quarter, was 19,166, only one more than that in Jiangsu, the fourth place. Generally speaking, although Guangdong and Fujian in South China are economically developed, the divorce rate is not high, which is also related to the relatively conservative concept of marriage influenced by traditional clan culture and other factors.

Biden, suddenly speak!

The United States has a big move again!

On the afternoon of September 10th, local time, US President Biden said that he was studying whether to allow Ukraine to use long-range weapons to attack Russia. Earlier, it was reported that the United States was close to reaching an agreement to provide long-range weapons to Ukraine.

In this regard, Norwegian professor Glenn Dyson wrote on social media X: "Allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons to attack Russian territory will be an American attack on Russia." Dyson warned: "Biden once claimed that the delivery of F-16 fighters would trigger World War III. This time the situation is even worse. This is an American attack on Russia. "

With regard to the latest progress of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, on September 11th, the Deputy Director of the General Directorate of Military Politics of the Russian Ministry of Defence and Commander of the "Ahmat" Special Forces, AptyAlaudi Novo, said that the Russian army had regained control of about 10 settlements in Kursk region and had captured them.

In addition, the United States, Britain, France and Germany announced new sanctions against Iran on the 10th, accusing Tehran of sending ballistic missiles to Russia to attack Ukraine. According to US media reports, the government led by Biden has submitted a classified report on the US strategy toward Ukraine to Congress.

Biden voiced.

According to the news from Reuters, US President Joe Biden said on Tuesday (September 10th) that he was studying the issue of allowing Kiev to use long-range weapons to strike deep into Russia.

With the Russian-Ukrainian conflict entering a new stage, Ukraine has recently repeatedly called on western countries to allow Ukrainian troops to use their long-range weapons to attack Russian territory in depth. On the afternoon of September 10, local time, US President Biden said at the White House that the US government was "dealing with this issue".

The United States has been reluctant to provide or approve the use of weapons that may attack deep targets in Russia for fear that this will aggravate the conflict. Other allies in Kiev have been providing weapons, but there are restrictions on how and when to use weapons in Russia, for fear that such attacks may trigger retaliation, involve NATO countries in wars or trigger nuclear conflicts.

Sources told Reuters last week that the United States is about to reach an agreement to supply such weapons (long-range weapons) to Ukraine, but Kiev needs to wait for several months because the United States will solve the technical problems before any shipment.

Russian News Agency reported that on Tuesday, US Secretary of State Blinken said that Biden planned to meet with British Prime Minister Stamer on September 13th local time to discuss the issue of allowing Ukrainian troops to use long-range weapons provided by the United States and Britain to attack Russia. Blinken admitted that Washington would allow Kiev to use American-made Long-range Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles to attack Russia.

Blinken will visit Ukraine on Wednesday. During his trip to Kiev, he will collect information about how the long-range weapons strike will affect Ukraine’s battlefield strategy. Before Blinken’s visit to Kiev, some senior Republicans in the House of Representatives sent a letter to Biden, urging him to lift restrictions on Ukraine’s use of long-range weapons provided by the United States and allow Ukraine to strike targets in Russia. This letter is dated Monday.

According to foreign media reports quoted by CCTV News, people familiar with the matter disclosed on the 9th that the government led by US Democratic President Biden has submitted a classified report on the US strategy towards Ukraine to Congress. According to the US Foreign Aid Appropriation Act, which was enacted in April this year, the above-mentioned report was originally scheduled to be submitted at the latest in early June, and Congress instructed Biden’s government to elaborate on its strategy toward Ukraine. This huge appropriation bill includes aid funds for Israel and Ukraine, of which Ukraine can receive $60.84 billion in military and economic assistance.

According to foreign media statistics, since the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis in February 2022, the United States has provided Ukraine with about 56 billion U.S. dollars in military assistance, and the advanced level and destructive power of weapons aiding Ukraine have gradually increased. During the same period, the US Congress approved the provision of nearly $175 billion in military and other assistance to Ukraine.

Due to the delay of Biden’s government in submitting the report, some members expressed dissatisfaction, saying that it might prevent the approval of the follow-up aid bill. Jim Risch, the highest-ranking Republican in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said at the end of August that he did not support the blind aid of the United States to Ukraine. Since the beginning of the escalation of the Ukrainian crisis, the Republican Party has asked the Biden administration to explain how the United States and its allies can help Ukraine, but it has not received a response. Even if this request has become law, the government has not responded as scheduled. The Biden administration owes a strategy not only to Republicans, but also to the American people.

Sanctions against Iran

On September 10th, the United States, Britain, France and Germany announced new sanctions against Iran, accusing Tehran of sending ballistic missiles to Russia to attack Ukraine.

US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said at a press conference with British Foreign Secretary David Lamy in London: "Russia has received these ballistic missiles and will probably use them against Ukraine in the next few weeks." The two of them will visit Kiev this week.

According to the reference news quoted by Agence France-Presse, in retaliation for the delivery of these missiles, Washington said that it had imposed sanctions with its allies on six Iranian drone and ballistic missile companies (according to a contract signed at the end of 2023, these companies were Russian suppliers) and their 10 responsible persons and employees.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department, Iranian Airlines is one of the targets of these economic sanctions, because the company delivered the goods. In addition, "international partners will announce measures that Iranian airlines will not be allowed to operate on their territory in the future".

As part of these new sanctions, Britain has announced the termination of "all direct air links" with Iran. Louise Haig, Minister of Communications, said: "We will continue to use all available means to pressure Iran to stop supporting the illegal invasion of Russia."

Iranian News TV website reported on September 10th that after Western countries accused Iran of sending weapons to Russia and imposed sanctions, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Canani warned that Tehran would take corresponding measures.

According to the report, on September 10th, Canani said that the claim that "the Islamic Republic of Iran sells ballistic missiles to the Russian Federation is totally unfounded and wrong". Canani said that the new round of sanctions is a continuation of the western hostile policy towards Iranians and economic terrorism.

The latest progress of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict

On September 11th, according to the news from Sputnik news agency & radio, the deputy director of the General Directorate of Military Politics of the Russian Ministry of National Defense and commander of the special forces "Ahmat" said that the Russian army had regained control of about 10 residential areas in Kursk region and had captured them.

The day before, on September 10th, the Russian Ministry of Defence reported that Russian troops had taken control of many villages in Donetsk, including Kra Si Nuo Khorifka and Wo Jia Nie. Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov sent a telegram to congratulate the Russian army on capturing the above-mentioned areas.

Shoigu, Secretary-General of the Russian Security Council, said in a televised speech on the 10th that the Ukrainian army raided Kursk, a Russian border state bordering Ukraine, last month in order to improve its position in the negotiations and disperse Russian troops to deploy in Donbass, but Russian troops accelerated their offensive against Donbass. Shoigu also conveyed the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying that Russia will not talk to the Ukrainian government as long as Ukrainian troops remain in Russian territory.

Shoigu also announced on the 10th that Russian troops have advanced nearly 1,000 square kilometers in Donbass since August.

The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported on the 10th that as of the afternoon of the 10th, the Ukrainian army continued to engage with the Russian army in many directions, repelling the Russian army’s repeated attacks. The situation on the front line is still tense, especially in the direction of Pokrovsk and Kurahovo.
