A US contractor has signalled it is running behind time on its half-a-billion-dollar New Zealand transport project. Cubic Transportation Systems has suffered recent setbacks, losing out on huge ticketing projects in the US and Australia. Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is staying tightlipped. Investigative journalist Phil Pennington spoke to Corin Dann.

In a session from the London Live Tour, Sarah talks with Mike Gosling, IT Service Platforms Manager at Cubic Transportation Systems about the company's successful transition to outcomes-based service with the help of AI. Mike shares key aspects of the transformation, including the importance of change management, tips for success with AI-based tools, and the role of continuous improvement.

1.鮑爾獲得聯準會主席續任提名，美國總統拜登上週二 (16 日) 表示，他近期都在考慮 Fed 下一任主席提名人選，他將在本週會宣布結果，他僅考慮 2 個聯準會 (Fed) 新任主席人選，包括現任主席鮑爾 (Jerome Powell) 和 Fed 理事布蘭納德 (Lael Brainard)，並在本月 4 日已會面兩人。 儘管一些民主黨員希望新主席更嚴格管控銀行，並運用監管職權力抗氣候變遷，白宮週一宣布，美國總統拜登將提名鮑爾連任下一屆聯準會主席，以延續經濟政策的連續性。 白宮還宣布，拜登總統將提名 Fed 理事布蘭納德擔任 Fed 理事會副主席的職位。2018 年就任聯準會主席：金融政策技術朝向和緩的方向進行，但是會強化金融管制，對於氣候變遷則認為這不是聯準會主要的課題。 2.日韓中印英配合美國釋放戰備儲油抑制油價， OPEC 則是表示如果大家釋放出戰備儲油，就計劃減產。白宮23日宣佈，將釋出5000萬桶戰備儲油，以降低油價，此舉可望於12月中旬至下旬投放於市場，該釋出將以貸款或銷售形式進行，並首次與中國、印度、南韓、日本與英國等主要石油進口國協同釋出戰備儲油。 印度當局23日也聲明指出，將釋出500萬桶戰備儲油，此舉與美國、中國、日本與南韓等其他石油輸出國協調行動。 美國西德州中質原油（WTI）台灣時間23日晚間10時上漲0.27%報76.96美元。布蘭特原油上漲0.55%報80.14美元。 3.美國布林肯非洲行，影響力逐漸式微 + 中國東協三十週年會議，習近平意外現身，提高東協交流層級。美國國務卿布林肯本週訪問非洲肯亞、奈及利亞和塞內加爾三國，積極釋放有意重振美國忽略已久的非洲關係的訊號。 布林肯20日在塞內加爾首都達卡，與塞國經濟部長霍特（Amadou Hott）共同見證兩國簽署4項總金額約10億美元（273億台幣）的合約。布林肯說，這筆投資顯示「我們同有民主、透明、法治以及創新的價值觀」，他還暗酸中國說，美國的投資「不會使這個國家背負它無力負擔的債務」。 這10億美元將用於道路建設、交通管理、全國緊急服務通訊網、改善與鄰國之間的貿易走廊等，參與的美國企業有貝泰公司（Bechtel Corp.）和立方運輸系統公司（Cubic Transportation Systems）。 美國在非洲的影響力正持續拱手讓給中國和其它全球大國之際，布林肯在這趟肯亞、奈及利亞和塞內加爾非洲三國訪問中，釋放美國有意重振忽略已久的非洲關係的訊息，表示將視非洲為「主要地緣政治力量」，能為這塊大陸帶來實實在在的利益。 布林肯19日在設於奈及利亞首都阿布加的西非經濟合作組織「西非經濟共同體」（ECOWAS）總部發表演說，說他知道非洲一直「擔心和外國打交道常有的附加條件」，並指「其他國家的基礎建設合約」可能是「不透明、脅迫、造成負擔不了的債務，破壞環境而且不見得對當地人民有利」。 他說，美國的作法「完全不同」，「美國不會限制你們與其他國家的夥伴關係」，「我們不要你們選邊站，我們希望給你們選項」，他說美國的作法「會是可負擔的、透明的，而且出於價值觀」。 中国宣布与东盟建立全面战略伙伴关系。习近平发表讲话称，中国愿进口更多东盟国家优质产品，包括在未来五年力争从东盟进口1,500亿美元农产品；并愿在未来三年再向东盟提供15亿美元发展援助，用于抗疫和恢复经济。 习近平说，要“尽早启动中国东盟自由贸易区3.0版建设，提升贸易和投资自由化便利化水平，拓展数字经济、绿色经济等新领域合作，”习近平称，中方愿启动“中国东盟健康之盾”合作倡议：包括再向东盟国家提供1.5亿剂新冠疫苗无偿援助，再向东盟抗疫基金追加500万美元，加大疫苗联合生产和技术转让。 习近平在2013年就提出，愿同东盟国家共建21世纪海上丝绸之路，携手建设更为紧密的中国-东盟命运共同体。他在峰会上表示，中国坚决反对霸权主义和强权政治，愿同周边邻国长期友好相处，“绝不寻求霸权，更不会以大欺小”。 4.彭帥現身，國際奧委會巴赫牽線視訊會議，背後訊息。中國女網名將彭帥21日與國際奧會主席巴赫視訊會面，意圖證明自己平安。但此舉除了無法消除中國官方介入斧鑿的痕跡外，更使國際奧會及巴赫的角色，被外界質疑為中國的「幫手」。 外界質疑之處在於，從彭帥事件發生至今，國際奧林匹克委員會（IOC）及巴赫（Thomas Bach）對此事從未發聲。但彭帥及中國官方卻能繞過先前與女網直接相關、且積極發聲的世界女子職業網球協會（WTA），安排直接與巴赫對話，被認為是凸顯了中國「親疏有別」的安排。 同時，巴赫長期親中的立場及過往事蹟，也在他與彭帥對話後受到檢視。2008年北京奧運聖火傳遞階段，不斷遭到全球眾多人權組織抗議，但巴赫不但主動約見國際媒體表態反對抵制北京奧運，更親自飛往中國參加最後一天的聖火傳遞，令外界側目不已。2013年，巴赫便在中國強力動員助選下，當選國際奧會主席。 5.自由之家報告，全球民主衰退情況創15年來新紀錄，美國民主評分下跌，連北歐的民主研究中心都認為美國民主退步中！總部位於瑞典斯德哥爾摩的國際民主及選舉協助研究所（IDEA）周一（11月22日）公布最新報告指，全球民主狀況正在倒退, 有更多國家走向專制，五年間民主國家數量從 104 個減少到 98 個，美國更首度位列陷入 “倒退 ”的民主國家名單。據這份名為“2021全球民主現況”的兩年度報告指，自 2016 年以來，民主退化的趨勢有增無減，全球範圍內有超過四分之一的人口生活在民主倒退的國家，加上獨裁主義或民主與獨裁“混合型”政權，近 70%的人口被剝奪享有“真正民主”。 報告共同作者哈德遜告訴法新社，我們今年首度將美國列入倒退名單，然而據我們的資料顯示，美國至少從2019年起就開始陷入；他說，即使美國仍然是“高度民主的國家”，但其“公民自由和政府控制”指標下降，表明民主在基本面存在嚴重問題。 報告特別提到特朗普對 2020 年 11 月總統大選的選舉質疑挑戰的“歷史性轉折點”，以及“2018 年至 2020 年間國會對總統作為的調查減少”。 報告指，2020年連續第五年走向威權主義方向的國家數量超過了民主化進程的國家數量。五年內，世界上民主國家的數量從 104 個減少到今年的 98 個，這是多年來的最低數字。俄羅斯、摩洛哥或土耳其等20個國家被列入“混合”政權；中國、沙特阿拉伯、埃塞俄比亞和伊朗等47國名列獨裁政權國家。 非洲是民主衰退影響最嚴重的大陸，非洲在1990 年代初民主曾取得了顯着進展後，其民主國家數量已從 2015 年的 22 個減少了 2020 年的 18 個，” 主要表現是國家權力過於集中，領導者在任期結束後仍繼續掌權。 ” 主持人： #Dennis #福澤喬 製作人： #KIMI #國際新聞 #DJTALK #福澤喬 #DENNIS全球政治筆記 #Joel來談日本

The transportation industry does a great job of talking to each other. However, it doesn't do such a great job of talking to people outside of the industry. Why does it need to be good at both? Krishna Desai, the Global Marketing Manager for Cubic Transportation Systems, shares with POLICYSMART why it's so critical for the transportation and ITS industries to become better at speaking to others. Some of the reasons include the need to recruit great Millennial talent, to share with private companies what our real transportation needs are, and to explain clearly why important projects need funding. We bring you another special episode on this second day of INTERSECT19! Tune in to find out more reasons why ITS needs a message makeover and how the industry can go about doing it.

This special Talking Transport podcast comes from the inaugural CAV Scotland event in Edinburgh which is being held alongside Traffex Road Expo Scotland and Bridges Scotland. The event features a series of discussions about how Scotland can be part of the CAV revolution including becoming a centre for testing the new technologies, taking advantage of its wide range of roads, levels of congestion and weather conditions. In today's podcast, sponsored by Cubic Transportation Systems and WSP, you can hear the full speech from Michael Matheson, the Scottish Government's Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure and Connectivity, and we also hear his thoughts about the technology after he'd ridden in a driverless pod at the venue. You'll also hear from Cubic Transportation Systems President Matt Cole about the importance of CAVs to his business and also why he's taken time out of his busy schedule to come to Edinburgh to speak, and we also hear why leading consultancy WSP is so interested in being part of the CAV conversation.
