社評0906 英國女首相上任

每天天下大小事

英國女首相上任

英國保守黨投票選出外交大臣特拉斯出任首相,她打敗了前財政大臣蘇納克而成為保守黨領袖, 她將前往.巴爾摩拉爾城堡覲見女王後立即組閣。

特拉斯將在英國最困難之時期出任新職，新冠疫情和経濟低迷、能源價格飛漲，將馬上考驗這位新首相之治國能力。

多年來，她是以對抗中國大陸為主要政見，她在競選期間誓言，立即對付目前超過百分之十之通物膨脹及減軽英國家庭之能源支出， 希望成為另一個鐵娘子。

在野和上任領導是有極大差異， 我們大家都拭目以待吧。

巴基斯坦嚴重水患

近期因暴風雨患，巴基斯坦遭受了近百年來最大水災已造成一千多人死亡，其中包括四百名孩童， 由於大量道路受損交通阻塞， 造成救災非常困難。

聯合國正在動員各種物資包括醫療設備以防止包括腹瀉霍亂、登革熱疾病之傳染。

我們呼籲國際社會能盡快伸出援手，向巴國提供援助，我也巳致電休斯敦巴基斯坦商會會長坎克先生表示關切， 並希望盡快發起賑災籌款會， 為災民送上溫暖。

U.K. Has A New Prime Minister

After she was elected leader of the ruling Conservative party on Monday, Liz Truss will be Britain’s next Prime Minister to succeed the scandal-tarnished Boris Johnson.

Truss has been the country’s Foreign Secretary and has been appealing to the right wing party, being faithful to tax cutting and taking a hard line on China and the European Union.

She will also be facing the winter energy crisis, widespread strikes and economic recession. All of these issue will test her ability to run the country. Her victory means she is the third female leader of the UK after Margaret Thatcher and Theresa May.

Outgoing Prime Minister Johnson said, “Truss has the right plan to tackle the cost of living crisis, will unite our party and continue the great work of uniting and leveling up our country.

One-Third Of Pakistan Is Under Water

A third of Pakistan was left underwater after experiencing the heaviest rain on record, especially in the southern provinces of Sindh and Baluchistan which have seen five times their normal levels of monsoonal rain.

The number of total deaths is over 1,400, with almost one-third of the victims being children.

There are three million children now in need of urgent assistance across Pakistan due to the risk of waterborne diseases, drowning and malnutrition.

The UN is delivering the needed food, water and medicine to the area, but it is not going to be enough.

We are urging all the people to help. I spoke to the local president of the Pakistan Chamber of Commerce and asked them what can we do to help? We should organize some relief meeting to do our best for those suffering people in Pakistan.
