(SeaPRwire) - 及其船队在电台被劫持后，遭到ABBA音乐的轰炸，据报道。“全球坚韧船队”（Global Sumud Flotilla，简称GSF）指责以色列策划了这一事件，该事件将ABBA的歌曲《Lay All Your Love On Me》循环播放了数小时——这可能是对童贝格瑞典血统的嘲讽。这支船队是44个国家数十艘船只组成的运动的一部分，它们载着食物、水和药品前往加沙地带的平民。据GB News报道，船队中的几艘船只在此次音乐袭击中成为目标。“他们正在干扰我们的无线电，”GSF成员Yasemin Acar在一段背景播放着ABBA音乐的视频中说道。“我们不知道这声音从何而来，但其他船只也遇到了同样的情况，”Acar补充道。GSF在社交媒体上声称，无人机周二袭击了船队中的数艘船只，据报道损坏了通信设备和一些桅杆。船队距离加沙海岸约200英里还有几天路程。本月初，突尼斯官员否认了该组织关于一架无人机轰炸其一艘主船的说法。该组织表示，这艘悬挂葡萄牙国旗的船只的主甲板和下方储藏室受损，但无人受伤。据Reuters报道，突尼斯内政部表示，关于西迪布赛义德港（Sidi Bou Said port）发生无人机袭击的报告“毫无事实依据”，并称正在调查甲板上的火灾。GSF在一份声明中说：“旨在恐吓和阻碍我们任务的侵略行为不会吓倒我们。我们打破对加沙的围困、声援其人民的和平任务将继续坚定不移地进行。”童贝格第二次尝试领导船队，正值加沙战争期间，据哈马斯控制的加沙卫生部称，战争已导致超过63,000人死亡。在离开前于巴塞罗那举行的新闻发布会上，童贝格将这次任务定义为一种生存行为。“这里的故事是关于巴勒斯坦的。这里的故事是人们如何被蓄意剥夺最基本的生存手段，”童贝格说，并声称以色列通过“非法拦截国际水域船只”并阻止人道援助抵达平民来违反国际法。这并非童贝格首次尝试运送援助。今年6月，她的船只“马德琳号”（Madleen）与船上其他11人一起被以色列军队拦截后，她被驱逐出境。自2007年哈马斯夺取控制权以来，以色列对加沙实行海上封锁，称此举是为了防止武器走私。在由对以色列的袭击引发的当前战争期间，封锁仍在实施。 Digital的Stephen Sorace和Emma Bussey对本报告有所贡献。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

(SeaPRwire) - 立陶宛领导人称总统周二在联合国发表的讲话“强硬”，尤其是在边境保护方面。“独立的国家必须控制边境，”总统吉塔纳斯·瑙塞达在接受独家采访时表示。立陶宛与白俄罗斯共享422英里长的边境线，并与（加里宁格勒）共享161英里长的边境线。“我们修建了围栏，一道物理屏障，并提供了现代化监控系统所需的工具。现在国家很安全，”瑙塞达说。“我们遣返了那些试图进入我国的移民。”瑙塞达还赞同特朗普政府对俄罗斯采取的更强硬立场。“这是一次强有力的演讲。它涵盖了非常重要的话题，”他说。“凭借唐纳德·特朗普总统所拥有的影响力，他将能够迫使弗拉基米尔·普京回到谈判桌前，因为我们只有通过展示实力才能做到这一点。”立陶宛是欧洲东北部波罗的海国家之一，人口285万。自2004年以来，它一直是北约和欧盟的成员。立陶宛在1940年至1941年以及1944年至1990年期间曾被苏联占领。1990年3月11日，立陶宛成为第一个宣布独立的苏联加盟共和国，并于1991年正式独立。这次采访是在联合国外面进行的，就在此之前，特朗普总统在 Truth Social 上发帖称，乌克兰可以赢得战争并收复目前“以其原始形式”的所有领土。特朗普还将俄罗斯称为“纸老虎”。如今，俄罗斯占领了该国约20%的领土。瑙塞达表示，由于“旧帝国主义野心”，普京尚未准备好在乌克兰实现和平。立陶宛总统在特朗普之后几小时向联合国大会发表了讲话。“我们不相信绥靖政策，”瑙塞达说。当被要求详细阐述时，总统说：“我记得西欧的许多领导人曾想与弗拉基米尔·普京对话，试图安抚他并阻止他对乌克兰的侵略。这没有奏效，它可能导致了一个结论，那就是与弗拉基米尔·普京对话只有一种方式——通过实力对话。”瑙塞达赞扬了特朗普鼓励欧洲国家对俄罗斯实施制裁，并对购买俄罗斯石油和天然气的国家实施二级制裁的努力。立陶宛总统对欧盟一些继续与俄罗斯做生意的成员国提出了严厉批评。“经济利益和地缘政治目标之间不应该存在权衡，因为我们谈论的是我们的安全。如果我们今天为俄罗斯的天然气或石油买单，明天我们可能就会遭到攻击，因为这笔钱助长了俄罗斯的战争机器。”在俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰两个月后，立陶宛停止了俄罗斯石油和天然气的进口。当被问及普京是否有一天可能攻击一个北约国家时，瑙塞达回答说：“我们应该做好准备。我们应该尽我们所能来威慑他们。我相信威慑，但我们必须建立一道可信的威慑之墙。这就是立陶宛非常支持唐纳德·特朗普总统呼吁增加国防开支的原因。我们准备支出5%甚至更多。2035年对我们来说不行。我们希望从2026年开始支出5%到6%。”三月，立陶宛国防部长多维莱·沙卡利埃内表示，与普京谈判的唯一方式是“把枪放在桌子上”。总统说，目前立陶宛军事采购的五分之一用于美国武器。在最近俄罗斯三架武装米格-31“狐蝠”战斗机侵犯另一个波罗的海国家爱沙尼亚的北约领空后，瑙塞达表示，如果此类侵犯发生在他的国家上空，他的国家将准备好采取行动。“我们有足够的能力，”他说。当被问及有关五角大楼正在削减波罗的海国家部分安全资金的报道时，瑙塞达似乎并未过分担忧。“这不是最终决定。”立陶宛与其他波罗的海国家最近宣布将退出《渥太华公约》，允许他们部署杀伤人员地雷，以加强边境防卫，更好地保护自己免受邻国俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的侵害。瑙塞达希望目前部署在他国家的1200名美国士兵能够留下。三月份，四名士兵在一次训练事故中丧生。他们当时在首都。“维尔纽斯是一个伟大的首都。我们有非常美丽的自然风光，我们的人民也非常友好，”瑙塞达说。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。

LONDON, Sept 25, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new life cycle assessment of 31 dry dog foods in the UK reveals that plant-based diets consistently outperform meat-based alternatives across every major environmental measure. Conducted by University of Nottingham veterinary researchers Rebecca Brociek and Professor David Gardner, and published in Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, the study underscores a major opportunity for pet owners and the pet food industry to shrink their ecological "pawprint."Key ResultsGreenhouse gas emissions: Plant-based foods produced just 2.82 kg CO₂-eq per 1,000 kcal, compared to 31.47 kg for beef-based formulas - over ten times higher.Land use: Plant-based diets required 2.73 m² per 1,000 kcal, versus 102.15 m² for beef-based products.Water use: Plant-based options consumed 249 L of freshwater per 1,000 kcal, far less than beef (575 L) or lamb (684 L).Nutrient and acidification pollution: Beef-based diets generated 14-16 times more acidifying and eutrophying emissions respectively, than plant-based equivalents.Middle ground: Poultry-based and semi-synthetic veterinary formulas had lower impacts than red meat, but still much higher than plant-based foods.Over a typical nine-year lifespan, feeding a 20 kg Labrador exclusively on plant-based dry food would require 8,964 m² of land and emit greenhouse gases equal to 2.8 London-New York return flights. The same dog fed on beef-based food would need 334,851 m² of land and emit the equivalent of 31.3 such flights.Why It MattersWith pet ownership on the rise worldwide and demand for pet foods increasing, the environmental impact of animal-based ingredients can no longer be overlooked. The researchers conclude that increasing plant-based ingredients in pet diets provides a practical and scalable way to reduce land use, emissions, nutrient pollution, and water stress - without compromising caloric value.They note, "feeding your dog plant-based will significantly improve a households' environmentally sustainability", and that, "… lower-impact pet food ingredients will be essential in reducing the [pet food] sector's ecological paw print."While some suggest that using meat by-products like ‘meat meals' is more sustainable, the study found these often ranked among the highest-impact ingredients, failing to bridge the gap.Broader ContextThis work supports earlier research. In 2023, veterinary professor Andrew Knight demonstrated that switching pet dogs worldwide to nutritionally sound vegan diets could save greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 1.5 times the UK's annual output, while providing enough food energy to feed 450 million people, equivalent to the EU population. By late 2025, at least 11 peer-reviewed studies had also shown positive health outcomes for dogs fed plant-based diets.As Prof. Knight explained, "Higher proportions of plant-based ingredients, or nutritionally complete plant-based diets, can substantially reduce the ecological footprints of companion animals. As awareness grows, such diets may shift from niche to mainstream - aligning our care for pets with responsibility for the planet."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.au+44 7577 899 61SOURCE: Sustainable Pet Food Foundation Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
