一 | LONDON -- Voters are casting ballots Thursday in two special elections in England that could add more misery to the beleaguered governing Conservative Party as it prepares to fight a national election next year.The Conservatives won both Tamworth in central England and Mid-Bedfordshire, north of London, by large margins during the last national election in 2019. But both constituencies’ lawmakers resigned under a cloud.Tamworth legislator Chris Pincher quit after Parliament’s standards watchdog recommended he be suspended for “completely inappropriate” behavior after groping two men at a London private members’ club. Then-Prime Minister Boris Johnson’ s reluctance to sanction Pincher when the allegations emerged helped trigger Johnson's ouster at the hands of his own party last year.Mid-Bedfordshire member of Parliament Nadine Dorries resigned over the treatment of Johnson and her own failure to be appointed to Parliament’s upper chamber, the House of Lords. Dorries is a strong ally of Johnson who has blamed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for helping to topple the former leader.The Conservatives acknowledge they face “difficult headwinds” in both seats. Polls close at 10 p.m. (2100GMT), with results announced early Friday.The main opposition Labour Party and the smaller Liberal Democrats hope to win the seats but have tried to manage expectations, noting that the Conservatives won substantial majorities in 2019. Labour has called both districts “super-safe Tory seats.”Losing either one would add to pressure on the governing party, which has lost several byelections since Sunak took office just under a year ago. He replaced Liz Truss, who quit in October 2022 after her plan for unfunded tax cuts sent financial markets into turmoil and rocked the economy.Truss spent just seven weeks in office after winning a party leadership contest to replace Johnson, who quit after three years in office when scandals over money and ethics turned party lawmakers against him.Sunak steadied the economy but has not managed to boost the party’s rating in opinion polls, where it consistently lags between 10 and 20 points behind Labour.The Conservatives have been in power nationally since 2010, years that saw austerity following the world banking crisis, Britain’s divisive decision to leave the European Union, a global pandemic and a European war that has triggered the worst cost-of-living crisis in decades.Polls show the Conservatives are losing support across the country, from affluent southern voters turned off by Brexit to working-class northern voters who switched from Labour in 2019 after Johnson promised to spread prosperity to long-neglected areas.Sunak has tried to rally support by arguing he has a long-term vision and is prepared to make tough decisions to change Britain.Earlier this month Labour won a special election victory over the Scottish National Party in Scotland. Winning seats in Scotland, where the pro-independence SNP has long been dominant, is key to Labour’s attempt to secure a majority in the next national election, due by the end of 2024.。 大国基建又将解锁一个新成就,国内最深海底隧道已经开建多时,距离全线贯通,动车“穿海而过”更进一步。 10月20日,据,“中国铁路”消息,近日,深圳至江门高速铁路全线正式开工建设,作为粤港澳大湾区的重要基础设施,深江高铁全线桥隧比达98%,其中全长13.69公里的珠江口隧道为全线控制性工程,也是我国最深的海底隧道。该海底隧道水下最大埋深达115米,最大水压1.06兆帕,长距离穿越几十种复杂地层,这种难度的施工在全世界也数罕见。据介绍,深江高铁是我国“八纵八横”高铁网沿海通道的重要组成部分,线路起自新建的深圳西丽站,向西经东莞市、广州市、中山市、江门市,接入江门至湛江铁路江门站,正线全长116公里,建设工期5.5年。由于线路需要跨越珠江口狮子洋海域,地理环境十分复杂,设计人员经过数年方案比选,最终确定以隧道形式下穿珠江口。珠江口隧道工程位于东莞、广州之间的珠江入海口,2020年7月开工建设,为深江高铁先行开工段。2021年开始投用“深江1号”和“深江2号”大直径盾构机。而身板巨大的盾构机,总长133米、总重约3900吨,由刀盘、盾体、配套拖车组成。“深江2号”共有5节,行走机构在最前面,后面一节节加挂。刀盘为盾构机最前端的“打洞利器”,上面镶嵌着数量众多、形状各异的刀具。盾体为主机部分,起到支撑开挖隧道、保护盾构内部元件设备的作用。因为尺寸巨大,盾构机每分钟仅能推进几厘米。目前服役的大多数盾构机日均掘进约5至10米,而“深江2号”创下日掘进24米、单月最高纪录342米的好成绩。

二 | 据介绍,经过建设者的日夜奋战,目前“深江2号”已经掘进1200米,离珠江口隧道贯通更近一步。
