第一則：葉門衝突升級 川普無預警提前返回白宮
伊朗支持的「青年運動」組織，近日對沙烏地發動攻擊，首都利雅德成為飛彈與無人機的目標，沙烏地阿美石油公司在重要港口揚布的設施也遭鎖定。中東局勢升溫之際，美國總統川普提前結束度假行程返回白宮，引發外界聯想。
美國警告，沙烏地與青年運動之間的戰事可能快速升級，呼籲公民重新考慮前往，並限制政府人員前往部分城市。 由於荷莫茲海峽受到伊朗封鎖，紅海出口的重要性升高，然而在青年運動奪取葉門沿岸後，紅海的曼德海峽航道安全也增加變數。
Yemen Conflict Escalates, Trump Makes Unexpected Early Return to White House
The Iran-backed Houthi recently launched attacks on Saudi Arabia. The capital, Riyadh, became a target of missiles and drones, while Saudi Aramco facilities in the important port city of Yanbu were also targeted. Amid rising tensions in the Middle East, U.S. President Donald Trump cut his vacation short and returned to the White House, sparking speculation.
The United States warned that the fighting between Saudi Arabia and the Houthis could escalate quickly, urging citizens to reconsider travel to the region and restricting government personnel from visiting certain cities. As the Strait of Hormuz has been blocked by Iran, the importance of Red Sea export routes has increased. However, after the Houthis seized parts of Yemen’s coastline, security around the Strait of Bab al-Mandab, a key Red Sea shipping route, has also become uncertain.
第二則：李洋出席亞運遭阻！亞洲奧林匹克理事會主席發聲回應
運動部部長李洋於 9 月 18 日出席愛知名古屋亞運歡迎儀式，卻遭到阻擋不得入場，台灣代表團隨即拒絕參加典禮表達抗議，造成現場陷入僵局。李洋最終獲准入場，典禮也因此延後超過 1 小時才舉行。
亞洲奧林匹克理事會主席對此表示，焦點應放在運動員身上，政治不應介入體育事務。李洋強調，代表團事前均依規定完成正式申報，未來會持續爭取對等與尊嚴，維護公平受尊重的參賽環境。
Lee Yang Blocked from Attending Asian Games Ceremony! OCA President Responds
Taiwan’s Sports Minister Lee Yang attended the welcome ceremony for the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games on September 18, but was blocked from entering the venue. Taiwan’s delegation then refused to take part in the ceremony in protest, creating a standoff at the scene. Lee was eventually allowed to enter, and the ceremony was delayed by more than one hour.
In response, Olympic Council of Asia President said the focus should be on the athletes, and that politics should not be involved in sports. Lee stressed that the delegation had completed all official applications according to the rules, and said Taiwan would continue to seek equal treatment and dignity while protecting a fair and respectful environment for its athletes.
第三則：德國另類選擇黨勝選 保守派遭重挫
出口民調顯示，德國東北部邦選舉中，極右派德國另類選擇黨得票領先，基督教民主黨則遭遇重挫，僅獲得 5.5% 選票，得票率勉強跨過進入邦議會門檻。
總理梅爾茨強調儘管選舉失利但不會退縮，仍會推動經濟、稅制與福利改革。由於其他主要政黨拒絕與德國另類選擇黨合作，該政黨不太可能執政，但這次選舉仍突顯梅爾茨執政地位面臨考驗。
Germany’s AfD Wins Election, Conservatives Suffer Heavy Defeat
Exit polls show that the far-right Alternative for Germany led the vote in a northeastern German state election, while the Christian Democratic Union suffered a major setback, winning only 5.5% of the vote and barely crossing the threshold to enter the state parliament.
Chancellor Merz stressed that despite the election defeat, he would not back down and would continue to push for economic, tax, and welfare reforms. Since other major parties refuse to work with the AfD, the party is unlikely to govern. However, the election still highlights that Merz’s hold on power is facing a serious test.
第四則：組織愈扁平主管愈累 員工敬業度跌至新低
蓋洛普報告顯示，去年全球員工敬業度降至 20%，創 2020 年以來新低。關鍵之一是主管自己也撐不住，組織扁平化讓管理範圍變大、責任變重，主管投入感也跟著下滑。
當主管缺乏投入，就更難帶動團隊，進一步影響生產力、留才與企業應變能力。這也提醒企業，除了投資 AI，更要同步改善主管培訓與管理負荷。
Flatter Organizations, More Exhausted Managers as Employee Engagement Hits a New Low
A Gallup report shows that global employee engagement fell to 20% last year, the lowest level since 2020. One key reason is that managers themselves are struggling. As organizations become flatter, managers often oversee more people and take on more responsibilities, which can reduce their own engagement.
When managers are less engaged, it becomes harder for them to motivate and support their teams, affecting productivity, talent retention, and a company’s ability to respond to change. This suggests that besides investing in AI, companies also need to improve manager training and reduce management overload.
第五則：梵蒂岡奉獻新方式 電子支付走進傳統教堂
義大利主教團攜手金融巨頭推動「百教堂百終端機」計畫，在義大利多座教堂與梵蒂岡資訊中心導入感應式電子奉獻機，信徒現在也能透過信用卡或電子支付參與奉獻。
教會希望新系統提升捐款透明度與可追蹤性，並將善款用於教堂修繕與社會救助。但部分民眾擔心此舉會削弱神聖感，引發傳統信仰與數位支付之間的討論。
A New Way to Give at the Vatican, Contactless Payments Enter Traditional Churches
The Italian Episcopal Conference has partnered with financial giants to promote the “100 totem in 100 chiese” project, introducing contactless electronic donation machines in several churches across Italy and at Vatican Infopoint. Worshippers can now make offerings by credit card or digital payment.
The Church hopes the new system will improve the transparency and traceability of donations, while allowing the funds to support church repairs and social aid. However, some people worry that this may weaken the sense of sacredness, sparking discussion about traditional faith and digital payments.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.
As the Houthis target Riyadh and key Saudi oil facilities, the risk of a wider Saudi-Houthi conflict is growing, with Red Sea shipping security becoming a concern.
Taiwan’s Sports Minister Lee Yang was temporarily blocked from an Asian Games ceremony, leading the Olympic Council of Asia to emphasize that politics should remain separate from sports.
The AfD’s strong result has increased pressure on Germany’s ruling conservatives, while Chancellor Merz faces a serious test over his leadership.
As organizations become flatter, supporting managers becomes essential because exhausted leaders can weaken team engagement, productivity, and retention.
Vatican churches now accept contactless donations, making giving easier but raising concerns about the traditional religious atmosphere.
In the next episode, we will together explore the recent hot news with you in the morning. Don’t forget to come back. Have a nice day and hear me next time. Bye.
