Erinome: Hello dear friends! Welcome to our daily news talk. I'm Erinome, and sitting next to me is Enceladus. Let's see what's happening around the world today, shall we?  

Enceladus: Sure! First, the weather news. The Central Meteorological Observatory kept issuing sandstorm and strong wind warnings. More than 10 provinces have sand and dust weather, and some areas in western Inner Mongolia and northwestern Gansu even have sandstorms. Oh no, that sounds bad for people there.  

Erinome: Yeah, hope everyone stays safe. Next, health news. The CDC said the whole country has entered a fast-rising stage of flu, and flu activity has reached a medium流行 level. So we need to wear masks and wash hands more, right?  

Enceladus: Totally! Now, some fun news—"Zootopia 2" was released, and its first-day box office broke 213 million yuan. It became the single-day box office champion of imported animated films in China's movie history. Wow, that's a big success!  

Erinome: Haha, I want to watch it soon! Tech news now: Apple's first foldable phone was exposed. The price may be 2399 US dollars, and it's expected to come out in 2026. That's really expensive, um, will you buy it?  

Enceladus: Maybe not, too pricey! Next, about airlines. 10 airlines were talked to because the locked seat rate in economy class was over 38% on average. Unlocking seats became a hidden charge, and they need to hand in a整改 report in 15 days. That's not good for passengers.  

Erinome: Right, should be fair. Then, the medical insurance bureau revealed a bribe case about stents and balloons. The kickback for each stent was 5000 yuan, and for each balloon 800 yuan. Oh no, that's terrible for patients.  

Enceladus: So bad! Now, a metro incident. Netizens took videos of several Indians eating curry-flavored pies in Shanghai Metro. Shanghai Metro customer service responded: you can't eat in the carriage, and they will check the situation.  

Erinome: Yeah, eating in metro is not allowed. Next, tourism news: fewer Chinese tourists, so Japan's tourism may face the "coldest" Spring Festival. A hotel in Hokkaido had a lot of cancellations in 5 days.  

Enceladus: Sad for their tourism. Also, many Chinese citizens in Japan reported being insulted and beaten for no reason, getting hurt. Our embassy in Japan reminded Chinese citizens again to pay attention to personal safety.  

Erinome: Stay safe everyone there. Now, UN news: the UN started the selection process for the next Secretary-General, calling on countries to consider recommending female candidates. That's a good idea!  

Enceladus: Yeah, more women leaders! Finally, US news: American media said US national parks are using "America First" pricing. Foreign tourists' prices double, and they need to pay extra besides the standard ticket. Hmm, that's interesting.  

Erinome: Okay, that's it for today's news. Thanks for listening, and let's talk again next time! Bye!  

Enceladus: Bye bye!
