Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has escalated its rhetoric. The IRGC-affiliated Tasnim news agency has published a list identifying offices tied to several major U.S. technology companies as potential targets, according to a report by Al Jazeera on Wednesday. The list names facilities linked to Alphabet Inc., Microsoft Corp., Palantir Technologies Inc., International Business Machines Corp., Nvidia Corp. and Oracle Corp., describing them as what it called "Iran's new targets." Don't Miss: Why These Tech Companies Were Named Tasnim described the companies’ technology as being used for military applications. “As the scope of the regional war expands to infrastructure war, the scope of Iran’s legitimate targets expands,” the agency stated.

The war entered its 12th day on Wednesday, with Iran claiming U.S. and Israeli forces have bombed nearly 10,000 civilian sites and killed more than 1,300 civilians since hostilities began Feb. 28. Banks And Economic Hubs Now In Crosshairs Separately, the IRGC said it launched drones toward U.S. military bases in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait and Erbil, Iraq.

Google Maps is one of the company's core products, which means it hasn't escaped the shift to Gemini . There will be more opportunities to converse with a robot in Google Maps starting today, but there's also a new navigation experience on the way. The revamped navigation isn't as explicitly focused on the AI revolution, but Google stresses Gemini is still key to making it work. The latest AI shift in Maps is called Ask Maps, and you can probably guess what it does just from its title. Ask Maps is a Gemini-powered conversational system that can plan trips and answer complex questions about locations across the app's millions of cataloged points of interest. Ask Maps, Reservation Ask Maps, Reservation The new chatbot will be accessible via a button up near the search bar. You can ask it anything you're likely to find in Google Maps without jumping into another app. You can ask for directions, of course, but it can also plan out road trips and vacations from a single prompt. Ask Maps works like a chatbot, so it accepts follow-up prompts to refine and expand on its suggestions. Read full article Comments

2026年，餐饮行业的日子，依然不好过。 客流量被短视频和各种网红业态切割得支离破碎，价格战打到毛利见底，消费者既想要“手机先吃”的颜值，又想要“物超所值”的体验…… 重重高压之下，各大餐厅都开始调整经营策略，尤其在菜品方面：搭配越来越“怪”、样式越来越“花”、品类越来越“细”。 这些变化，看起来是对前端厨艺的挑战，但本质上，是对后端供应链的终极拷问。 往远里看，未来餐饮这行真正决定你能不能活下来的，其实是后端那套看不见的东西。 别不信！今天就跟你聊聊，我们看到的餐饮前端的三个变化，以及由此引发的后端连锁反应。 食材“乐高化” 打开现在的网红餐厅菜单，你会发现一个规律： 食材的边界正变得模糊。 黑虎虾给木姜子饵丝做浇头，街边小吃石屏豆腐和云南菌菇炒在一起，下饭的腌菜成了菲力牛排的点缀……乍一看是新奇的组合，细品又都是熟悉的味道。 还有去年下半年爆火的固体杨枝甘露和奶皮子糖葫芦，是把熟悉的味道装进了不同容器。 这类“混搭风”在年轻群体中接受度很高。背后的逻辑很简单： 消费者既想要“手机先吃”的颜值，又想要“物超所值”的体验。 他们追求新鲜感，但又不太能接受完全的陌生——最好是在熟悉的食材上，玩出陌生的花样。 这也迫使餐厅必须进行高频次的菜单微创新，不是全盘推倒重来，而是稍微调换食材元素，叠加市场验证过的口味，从而碰撞出新意。就像玩乐高一样，用已有的积木，拼出新的造型。 说起来容易，但真要操作起来， 其实是对供应链的考验。 餐厅需要高频次的菜单微创新，后厨的人力和能力能不能跟得上就是一大难题。餐厅不可能让厨师天天琢磨新菜，更不可能为了一个新品重新搭一条供应链。 真正管用的，是手里有几款“高适配性、强可塑性”的食材基座。 它们能和绝大部分风味搭在一起，快速拼出新品。 比如，薯条。它本身没有强烈的地域属性，市场接受度颇高，餐厅可以利用其搭配原有菜品、风味，创造出一些新式菜品。 大连红脸蛋小食堂去年夏天推出一道冬阴功薯条，就是以薯条为底，淋上自制冬阴功酱和冬阴功粉，取名“泰兰德的夏天”，有颜又别致；山东日照的新中式餐厅AT FIRST，也推出了“薯条辣子鸡”，薯条的脆和鸡肉的嫩碰撞在一起，既解辣又丰富了口感；贵州菜品牌“慢山”，把薯条和麻婆豆腐放在一起，以麻辣的滋味和酥脆的口感获得年轻人的喜爱…… 对于绝大部分餐厅而言，选用直薯条来创新菜品是最简单的做法，像蓝威斯顿有一款 3...

Swire Properties reported stronger underlying earnings in 2025, as the Hong Kong developer stepped up asset disposals and expanded its mainland China retail portfolio, though weakness in the city’s office market dragged the company into a headline loss. Underlying profit rose 27 per cent to HK$8.62 billion (US$1.1 billion), driven largely by gains from the disposal of noncore assets including the Brickell City Centre retail mall in Miami and several properties in Hong Kong, according to the company’s full-year results released on Thursday. Revenue increased 11 per cent to HK$16.04 billion, while recurring underlying profit – a key measure of rental income – slipped 3 per cent to HK$6.26 billion amid softer office rents in Hong Kong. Advertisement CEO Tim Blackburn said 2025 remained “another challenging year for our industry”. The developer booked HK$7.72 billion in fair-value losses on investment properties during the year – equivalent to roughly 90 per cent of its underlying earnings – contributing to a reported net loss of HK$1.53 billion. Advertisement The change in property valuations was non-cash in nature and did not affect operating cash flow.

The escalating crisis around Iran is doing more than just shaking global energy markets . It is constricting the arteries of Asian growth. A massive share of the oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) that powers Asian economies passes through the Strait of Hormuz. When tensions rise around this narrow waterway, economic shock waves travel quickly across the region, exposing a development model whose foundations remain dangerously outside Asia’s strategic control. Japan and South Korea, both heavily reliant on crude shipments passing through the strait, have already seen financial markets react sharply as investors weigh the risks of higher energy costs for manufacturing and export industries. While somewhat buffered by its large strategic oil reserves and LNG inventories, China has moved to halt refined fuel exports to safeguard domestic supply. Advertisement In Southeast Asia, import-dependent economies such as Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam face rising inflationary pressure as higher fuel prices ripple through energy bills, transport costs and industrial supply chains. Meanwhile, the crisis has triggered renewed calls to accelerate renewable energy deployment . The logic is straightforward: home-grown wind and solar reduce dependence on imported fuels and strengthen energy security. However, the transition is far more complex than simply replacing one energy source with another. 04:04 How US-Israeli strikes on Iran are sending shock waves through global energy markets How US-Israeli strikes on Iran are sending shock waves through global energy markets In Asia’s manufacturing hubs, crude oil is not just a fuel – it is the hidden ingredient of modern life. It is processed into the plastics and insulators inside smartphones and laptops, the synthetic polyester in our clothing and the lightweight resins used to build TVs and household appliances.

In this article GOOGL Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Google Maps' Go tab. Todd Haselton | CNBC Google is adding its Gemini AI technology to a new feature in its maps app, as the company pushes its artificial intelligence tools deeper into its expansive product portfolio. The new button called "Ask Maps" will feature a chatbot that allows users to ask complex questions outside of the typical navigation topics, Miriam Daniel, a vice president at Google Maps, said in a blog post Thursday. Users can now ask questions like, "My phone is dying — where can I charge it without having to wait in a long line for coffee?" or "Is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?" The results are personalized based on prior searches and saved trips in Google Maps, "making it easy to turn plans into action," the company said. "Google Maps is fundamentally changing what a map can do," the company said in the blog post. "By bringing together the world's freshest map with our most capable Gemini models, we're transforming exploration into a simple conversation and making driving more intuitive than ever with our biggest navigation upgrade in over a decade." Google is adding more AI to its maps service as part of a broader effort to differentiate Gemini from potential competition and to keep users on its products for longer. With more than 2 billion monthly users , Google Maps, which turned 20 last year, is the world's top navigation app. Ask Maps starts rolling out Thursday in the U.S. and India on Android and Apple's iOS, with desktop coming soon, the company said. In a briefing with reporters ahead of the announcement, Google staffers said the company isn't including ads in the feature but isn't ruling out the possibility for the future. "Right now, we are very focused on launching this for our users and providing a great experience," said Andrew Duchi, a director of product management at Google. Google Maps makes money primarily by selling ad...

For most investors, how much a stock's price changes over time is important. Not only can it impact your investment portfolio, but it can also help you compare investment results across sectors and industries. The fear of missing out, or FOMO, also plays a factor in investing, especially with particular tech giants, as well as popular consumer-facing stocks. What if you'd invested in Etsy (ETSY) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to ETSY for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today? Etsy's Business In-Depth With that in mind, let's take a look at Etsy's main business drivers. Etsy operates as a leading e-commerce service provider, managing a two-sided marketplace platform at Etsy.com that connects creative entrepreneurs with buyers seeking unique, handmade, and vintage items. The company has established a strong international presence, with core operations spanning the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Germany, Australia, and France. In 2025, Etsy achieved total revenues of $2.88 billion, up 2.7% year over year, primarily driven by an increase in services revenues, partially offset by a decrease in marketplace revenues. ETSY's revenue structure comprises two primary streams: marketplace activities and optional services. Marketplace revenues (69.6% of total revenues) dominated the financial performance, generating $2.01 billion. Services revenues contributed $876.3 million, accounting for 30.4% of the total. The platform specializes in facilitating the sale of distinctive creative products across diverse categories, including homewares and home furnishings, jewelry and personal accessories, apparel, craft supplies, paper and party supplies, and beauty and personal care items. This focus on unique, artisanal products differentiates Etsy from mass-market e-commerce competitors. Etsy.com serves as the company's primary value driver and cash cow, providing merchants with comprehensive tools to manage their online ...

Google announced on Thursday that Google Maps is introducing a Gemini-powered conversational “Ask Maps” feature along with an updated “Immersive Navigation” experience that brings a 3D view, road details, natural voice guidance, and more to the app. The new “Ask Maps” feature lets users ask complex, real-world questions using natural language, such as “My phone is dying, where can I charge it without having to wait in a long line for coffee?” or “Is there a public tennis court with lights on that I can play at tonight?” The tech giant says the feature can also be used to quickly plans trips. For example, you could ask: “I’m headed to the Grand Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and Coral Dunes, any recommended stops along the way?” Maps will then give you directions, ETAs, and tips from real people, like how to find a hidden trail or get a free entry ticket. Image Credits:Google Ask Maps personalizes its answers using signals including places a user has searched for or saved to their account, Google said. So if a user asks something like, “My friends are coming from Midtown East to meet me after work. Any cozy spots with a table for four at 7 tonight?” Ask Maps may already know the user prefers vegan restaurants and will suggest convenient options that offer vegan choices. Ask Maps is rolling out now in the U.S. and India on Android and iOS. The feature will be available on desktop soon, Google said. As for the new “Immersive Navigation” update, Maps is getting a 3D view that reflects nearby buildings, overpasses, and terrain, similar to Apple Maps. The app will also highlight road details like lanes, crosswalks, traffic lights, and stop signs. Image Credits:Google In addition to the visual changes, Maps is getting more functionality that’s designed to help drivers stay better informed on the road.

Posts from this author will be added to your daily email digest and your homepage feed. Google is continuing to weave Gemini into the firmament of its most-used products. Today, it announced that Google Maps was getting a new AI-powered “Ask Maps” feature that allows for “complex, real-world questions” with highly detailed, personalized responses. In the past, Google Maps would struggle with hyper-specific questions like “where can I charge my phone without having to wait in line for coffee” or “where is the closest public bathroom that isn’t completely disgusting” (parents of kids with tiny bladders, I’m looking at you). But now, thanks to Gemini, all our weird, slightly embarrassing questions can be answered — directions included. Ask Maps lets you describe your plans conversationally, including as much or as little detail as you want, and Gemini will sift through your query to provide as detailed a response as you need, often using personal details you’ve provided through your past interactions with Google Maps. In a briefing with reporters, Google product manager Andrew Duchi used this example: “I have some friends coming from Midtown East to meet me after work. Can you find us a spot between the office and Midtown East that’s vegetarian, has a cozy aesthetic, and a table for four at seven o’clock tonight?” (I’m not sure Google Maps cares that much about your evening plans, but I digress.) Using Gemini, Maps would then provide a number of examples, analyzing user-submitted reviews and photos to pull data about the aesthetics or general busyness of possible locations. If there are places you’ve favorited or interacted with in the past, they might appear in the reply as well. And if you like what you see, Ask Maps will go one step further and book a table for you with just a single tap. ”It’s ...

Vladimir Zakharov/iStock via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from the Royce Small-Cap Value Fund FY 2025 Commentary. Seven of the portfolio’s 10 equity sectors made a positive impact on calendar year performance. Information Technology, Financials, and Industrials made the largest positive contributions. The biggest negative impacts came from Energy, Consumer Discretionary, and Real Estate. At the industry level, electronic equipment, instruments & components (Information Technology), banks (Financials), and commercial services & supplies (Industrials) contributed most in 2025, while oil, gas & consumable fuels (Energy), specialty retail (Consumer Discretionary), and ground transportation (Industrials) were the largest detractors. Three of the Fund’s top five contributors provide electronics contract manufacturing services, or “EMS.” This business continues to experience robust demand—with many of the stocks being re-rated—because of their close involvement building AI data centers. A top contributor from 2024, Sanmina Corporation ( SANM ) offers these services to a global customer base. The company bought ZT Systems, a data center manufacturing business, from semiconductor behemoth Advanced Micro Devices ( AMD ) while also entering into a strategic partnership with AMD. As a result of the acquisition, Sanmina expects to “strengthen its leading end-to-end component technology, systems integration, and supply chain solutions.” Jabil ( JBL ) provides EMS and solutions for several industries including automotive and transportation, capital equipment, and consumer companies. The company has enjoyed vibrant growth in its end markets, especially data center infrastructure, cloud computing, and solar energy, all of which helped Jabil to post better-than-expected earnings and raised guidance in 2025. Flex ( FLEX ) is an EMS company that designs and develops original design manufacturing (ODM) products for several industries, including aerospace & defense, c...

Alphabet Inc. is making one of the biggest changes to Google Maps in over a decade, with an “Ask Maps” feature that will allow users to interact with the product like a chatbot. That means Maps will be able to answer spoken and written requests that mix location and reviews knowledge with personal history and preferences — part of Google’s effort to integrate its AI, Gemini, into all of its products, the company said Thursday. The new feature provides personalized responses for users by analyzing information from over 300 million places and reviews from a community that exceeds 500 million contributors. Rather than researching specific spots or sifting through reviews manually, Ask Maps should make it possible to “ask anything, about anywhere,” the company said. “By bringing together the world’s freshest map with our most capable Gemini models, we’re transforming exploration into a simple conversation,” said Miriam Daniel , vice president and general manager of Google Maps. Gemini was previously integrated to help provide a hands-free experience, but this update will change the way people use the product, the company said. The new feature will be able to provide restaurant recommendations tailored to users’ prior search history or saved spots. For instance, Ask Maps may suggest vegan or vegetarian restaurants if it knows a user has certain dietary restrictions without the person explicitly asking. For those that drive, another update powered by Gemini will provide a comprehensive 3D view of the road and offer alternate routes in case of traffic congestion or real-time disruptions. Called “Immersive Navigation,” the tool also provides helpful guidance to drivers with features such as recommendations for parking and where a building’s entrance is located. Ask Maps will be available in the US and India for iOS and Android users starting Thursday. Immersive Navigation will be available in the US for eligible iOS and Android devices, CarPlay, Android Auto and cars with G...

E-Infrastructure is by far its largest revenue contributor (59% in 2025, 69% in Q4) and driver, with sales up 59% YoY in 2025. Sterling completed its acquisition of leading specialty electrical and mechanical contractor CEC Facilities Group in September 2025 to “significantly expand” its E-Infrastructure capabilities. Sterling grew its GAAP earnings per share (EPS) by 525% between 2020 and 2025, soaring from $1.50 a share to $9.38 last year. The infrastructure company doubled its sales between 2020 ($1.23 billion) and 2025 ($2.49 billion), including 18% YoY growth in 2025. STRL began pivoting its business to become the higher-margin, growth-heavy firm it is today roughly a decade ago. The company was able to looked ahead and see the massive growth pipeline across e-commerce, data centers, and more. Sterling, which traces its roots to the 1950s, is a leader in large-scale site development and mission-critical electrical services for data centers and beyond. All in, investors looking for an infrastructure stock that provides long-term upside exposure to AI data centers, reshoring, e-commerce, and other critical economic trends should consider buying Sterling Infrastructure now. STRL is projected to grow its revenue and earnings by 25% in 2026. Plus, STRL stock found some support at some key technical ranges recently after its post-earnings pullback. Sterling Infrastructure is positioned to benefit from these critical megatrends, which are driving the U.S. economy, for years to come. STRL more than quadrupled its earnings between 2020 and 2025 and doubled its revenue. The U.S. infrastructure company, which specializes in site development and mission-critical electrical services, is riding massive growth trends across the AI data center boom, tech-focused reshoring such as semiconductor fabrication, e-commerce distribution expansion, and beyond. AI data center infrastructure stock Sterling Infrastructure, Inc. soared 1,700% in the last five years, outpacing artificial i...

Investors in BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. BJRI need to pay close attention to the stock based on moves in the options market lately. That is because the Jan. 16, 2026 $22.50 Call had some of the highest implied volatility of all equity options today. What is Implied Volatility? Implied volatility shows how much movement the market is expecting in the future. Options with high levels of implied volatility suggest that investors in the underlying stocks are expecting a big move in one direction or the other. It could also mean there is an event coming up soon that may cause a big rally or a huge sell-off. However, implied volatility is only one piece of the puzzle when putting together an options trading strategy. What do the Analysts Think? Clearly, options traders are pricing in a big move for BJ’s Restaurants shares, but what is the fundamental picture for the company? Currently, BJ’s Restaurants is a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) in the Retail - Restaurants industry that ranks in the Bottom 41% of our Zacks Industry Rank. Over the last 60 days, no analysts have increased their earnings estimates for the current quarter, while one analyst has revised the estimate downward. The net effect has taken our Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current quarter from 6 cents per share to 4 cents in that period. Given the way analysts feel about BJ’s Restaurants right now, this huge implied volatility could mean there’s a trade developing. Oftentimes, options traders look for options with high levels of implied volatility to sell premium. This is a strategy many seasoned traders use because it captures decay. At expiration, the hope for these traders is that the underlying stock does not move as much as originally expected. Looking to Trade Options? Check out the simple yet high-powered approach that Zacks Executive VP Kevin Matras has used to close recent double and triple-digit winners.

说起极兔，现如今，很多人脑海中浮现的第一个词是“速度慢”。 这个2015年诞生于印度尼西亚、2020年在中国市场起网、2023年递交招股书的“外来者”，像一条鲶鱼，以一种近乎野蛮的生长姿态，硬生生搅动了被顺丰、京东物流、“通达系”等企业牢牢把持的国内快递江湖。 在中国市场，短短三年，极兔实现了业务量从20亿到120亿的飞跃，并完成了从起网到扩张再到跻身第一梯队的“三连跳”，让整个行业为之侧目。 然而，传奇的另一面，往往藏着不为人知的阴影。 极兔在中国市场的突围，低价是一个重要支点。但“低价”的标签一旦贴上，就再难撕下，这根助它撬开市场的杠杆，最终也变成了压在利润上的巨石。于是我们看到：业务量三年连跳，亏损却如影随形。 更令人担忧的是，随着业务量的激增，管理似乎没能跟上扩张的脚步。在社交媒体和黑猫投诉等平台上，关于极兔的吐槽比比皆是。 近两年，极兔在网络上“销声匿迹”，越发低调。极兔对此给出了自己的解释：极兔在中国市场坚持长期、健康的发展方针，启用了一系列精细化管理举措，推动业务规模稳健增长，提升了核心竞争力。 但从消费端反馈来看，这场从“野蛮生长”到“精耕细作”的转身，似乎还在泥泞中艰难前行。 服务黑洞：派送中 打开黑猫投诉平台，输入“极兔”二字，累计投诉量为6万多条。 投诉内容包括丢件、不上门取件、私自签收等，其中出现频率较高的为“物流信息不更新”“不派送”。走出投诉平台，小红书、微博上的用户，也正用一篇篇笔记接力讲述着相似的遭遇。 在这些相似的遭遇中，“忍冬”就是其中之一。 “我怀疑极兔员工罢工了，我的极兔快递一直没人送。物流信息显示派送中，派送三天了一直没到，快递员的电话也没人接，站点说快递积压忙不过来，因为我是第一个催派的，他派送了，但是派送到了10公里外的小区，打车要十几分钟，咋想的。” 与“忍冬”有相似遭遇的，远不止一人。 近日，一网友在小红书平台发帖，“我的同城极兔三天了一点都不动，打电话询问也不是真人，我以后买东西一定备注不准发极兔。” 而该帖子的评论区，俨然成了一个“极兔受害者联盟”。 有人抱怨同样是同城快递，三天纹丝不动，物流信息仿佛被按下了暂停键；有人吐槽派送了两天一直没到。几十条留言翻下来，几乎看不到一个“已送达”的喜报，满屏皆是“一动不动”的无奈。 如果说个别消费者的吐槽或许带有主观情绪，那么大量的投诉，则揭示了问题的普遍性与严重性。这些看...

The union representing pilots at Air Transport International, an Ohio-based airline that operates more than 40 Boeing 767 cargo jets in Amazon’s (NASDAQ: AMZN) air logistics network, said Friday it has reached a tentative labor agreement with the company after more than five years of contentious negotiations. The current contract was eligible to be updated in March 2021. The new labor agreement provides about $114 million in value for the company’s 550 pilots over its four-year span, including improvements to compensation, scheduling and retirement, the Air Line Pilots Association said in a news release. ATI is a subsidiary of Air Transport Services Group, which is owned by private equity firm Stonepeak. Under the deal, the pay rate will increase by almost 22% over its duration, including 11% in the first year, according to a fact sheet shared with FreightWaves. Pilots will also receive a ratification bonus and other conditional pay, higher per diem payments and other increases. Additional pay was also negotiated for instructor pilots. Company retirement contributions will increase from the current 8% to 14% at date of signing and 15% in year two of the deal. The company will provide an additional 1% contribution each year if certain performance numbers are met, ALPA said. Pilots will also benefit from sweeping changes to vacation and scheduling practices that will result in more time off and better quality of life. “This tentative agreement reflects not only our value to the company but is also the direct result of the unity and tenacity of every ATI pilot,” said Capt. Michael Sterling, chair of the ATI Master Executive Council, in the news release. “This agreement will go a long way to improving the lives of our fellow pilots. ATI pilots are home-based and travel to various airports where they meet aircraft to which they are assigned. The tentative agreement must still be approved by rank-and-file members. If ratified, the contract would go into effect on April 1....

The names of 19 women believed to have been killed by their sons in the last year will be read out in parliament on Thursday, as research showed that almost one in five women killed by men since the last International Women’s Day were suspected victims of matricide. For the 11th year running, Jess Phillips will read out the names of the 108 women killed in the UK by men – or where a man has been charged – in the last 12 months. In keeping with previous years, she will have to request special dispensation to speak beyond the time given to each MP in the International Women’s Day parliamentary debate, because reading the names will take more than five minutes. Among the names, which are recorded by the Femicide Census project Counting Dead Women, are 19 mothers killed where their son is the suspect – the highest matricide rate recorded in 16 years of Femicide Census data. Clarrie O’Callaghan, co-founder of the Femicide Census, said the organisation had watched in horror as it witnessed the growing problem of matricide in the UK, pointing to the collapse in mental health care, problematic substance abuse and housing insecurity as contributing factors. “Often the men who have killed their mothers have histories of abuse of their earlier partners, so they had moved in with their mother after those relationships broke down,” she said. “However, despite our reporting on matricides for 10 years, no state agency has yet to acknowledge matricide, let alone take responsibility for tackling it. “Women are rarely recognised as being at risk of fatal violence from their sons and there are few dedicated services for older women in the whole of the UK.” Last year, the Guardian revealed that nearly one in 10 of the women who died at the hands of men in the UK over the previous 15 years were mothers killed by their sons. The 2,000 Women report by Femicide Census showed that more than 170 mothers were killed by their sons between 2009 and 2021, with mental ill health a factor in 58% o...

一辆蓝色的出租车停到了酒店门口，手机上的打车软件taxifix显示，来者是一辆小鹏。 这令我有些难以置信，毕竟当时我身处挪威小城特罗姆瑟，北纬69度，已在北极圈内。为了证实它确实是自己认识的那个小鹏，我还特意转到车尾去看了看，没错。 我本以为那只是一次偶遇一个小插曲，但很快就发现，那根本算不上偶遇，因为，挪威的中国新能源车实在太多了，满大街都是。 那天，我还打了一次车，接驾的是比亚迪。而在整个旅行当中，我在罗弗敦的公路上遭遇过名爵、岚图，在奥斯陆最繁华的卡尔约翰大街的酒店楼下，看到了蔚来的NIO House。 在异国他乡，我似乎已经被中国新能源车包围了，但，也许只是因为自己太关注这些了呢？ 网上的一系列数据证明，这并非由于“视网膜效应”。2025年全年，中国品牌电动车在挪威的销量达到24524辆，占该国新车总销量的13.7%，比2024年增长3.3个百分点。而在刚刚过去的12月，这个数字甚至一度冲高到17%。 对于任何一家中国汽车制造商而言，这个位于斯堪的纳维亚半岛西侧的国度，早已不是地图上一个遥远的符号。它更像一个巨大的、天然的试验场。当欧盟的关税大棒还在空中挥舞，当德国、法国的老牌车企还在为电动化转型而犹豫不决时，中国人已经沿着北海的航线，悄然登陆。 但挪威终究是不同的。它不是一个简单的欧洲国家，它是一个“政策茧房”里孵化出的极端样本。2025年，挪威新车市场中纯电车型的占比高达95.9%，到2026年2月，这一数字甚至触摸到了98%的天花板。在这里，电动车不是备选项，而是绝对的主流。 一位在挪威从事新能源行业的同胞告诉我， 中国车企往往会将挪威当作进军欧洲的第一站，因为要想“征服”欧洲，必先读懂挪威。 而读懂挪威，不仅仅是为了卖车，更是为了在最开放又最挑剔的市场里，寻找到那把打开全欧洲市场的钥匙。 01 北极圈内的“超级试炼场” 挪威的市场规模并不大，全国人口仅550万，不足北京的四分之一。但就是这样一个小市场，却成了全球汽车巨头们的“角斗场”。 为什么是挪威？ 因为挪威拥抱新能源的决心太坚定了。 这里虽然以石油出口为支柱产业，但实际上该国水力和风力资源同样丰富，会生产自己用都用不完的电。和石油出口运就完了不同，电力出口需要通过输电网，挪威的电要出口欧洲其他国家，则必须要经过临近国家瑞典的电网，这就会导致高昂的“过路费”，在这种情况下，在本国尽量消耗电，把更多...
