KAMPALA, July 6 (Xinhua) — Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni was nominated on Saturday as the ruling party's sole candidate for next year's presidential election.

Museveni, who will seek a seventh consecutive five-year term, was nominated by the National Resistance Movement (NRM) at a conference in the capital, Kampala. Since he is the NRM's only candidate, the party will not hold primaries.

Mr Museveni, 80, said if re-elected he would prioritise six key areas: peace, development, wealth creation, jobs, services and markets.

He also expressed his intention to lift Uganda from lower middle income to upper middle income status by 2040.

“I am ready to contribute in the next five years both as the NDC chairman and as the president,” said Y. Museveni.

Uganda is scheduled to hold general elections in January 2026, with several opposition candidates expected to run. –0–

LUCANIA /Serbia/, July 6 /Xinhua/ — Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic on Saturday attended a ceremony to mark the opening of the last section of the E-763 "Milos Veliki" highway from Pakovrača to Požega.

The opening ceremony took place at the entrance to the Mugnino Brdo tunnel in the municipality of Lucani in southwestern Serbia. It was attended by Chinese Ambassador to Serbia Li Ming, senior Serbian government officials, representatives of Chinese and Serbian infrastructure companies, and hundreds of local residents.

"This is one of the most important infrastructure projects in our country. Together with our Chinese friends, using their technology and our determination, we overcame all the difficulties," A. Vucic said at the event, noting the contribution of China Communications Construction Group /CCCC/.

The opened 19.56-kilometer section includes two of the longest automobile tunnels in Serbia – Laz /2858 m/ and Muninino Brdo /2861 m/. According to A. Vucic, the project reflects the transformation of Serbia into a strong and modern state with safe and high-quality highways.

Li Ming called the E-763 highway the most important transport artery connecting Belgrade with the Montenegrin port of Bar, as well as with the western and northern regions of Serbia.

The successful completion of the project reflects the experience and dedication of all participants and is evidence of the “iron friendship” between China and Serbia, he added.

Passenger traffic on the new section of the highway will open at noon on Sunday. –0–

According to the agency, as of 05:00 on Sunday, the epicenter of the typhoon was located at a point with coordinates of 21.3 degrees north latitude and 118.1 degrees east longitude. It is expected to continue moving in a northeasterly direction at a speed of 10-15 km per hour, gaining strength.

From Sunday night to Monday morning, Danas is forecast to cross the Taiwan Strait from south to north and may pass by or make landfall on the west coast of Taiwan.

On Monday, the typhoon will reach the East China Sea and gradually approach the coastal areas of northern Fujian Province, as well as the central and southern parts of Zhejiang Province, the NMC added.

According to the NMC forecast, from 08:00 Sunday to 08:00 Monday, strong winds will rage in some parts of the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait area, the sea area east of Taiwan, the Bashi Strait area and some parts of the East China Sea, as well as coastal areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang provinces and Taiwan Island.

During the same period, heavy or torrential rains are expected in southeastern Zhejiang Province, northeastern Fujian Province and Taiwan Island. Heavy rains with precipitation amounts of up to 230 mm are possible in some areas of Taiwan Island.

It should be recalled that China has a four-level typhoon warning system, with the highest level of danger indicated by red, followed by orange, yellow and blue.

Under the influence of the typhoon, strong waves are expected in sea areas near Taiwan Island, the South China Sea and coastal waters off Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang provinces from Sunday afternoon to Monday afternoon, according to the National Marine Forecasting Center. -0-

BEIJING, July 6 (Xinhua) — Recent photos of Tsinghua University students wearing mysterious headdresses studded with silver electrodes at a theater performance have caused a stir online.

The “magic hats” are key components of a portable brain-computer interface (BCI) system designed to record neural activity as students experience live performances, the university said. The experiment was aimed at decoding aesthetic responses and studying neural activity patterns during art appreciation.

Gao Xiaorong, a professor at Tsinghua University, confirmed that this marks “China’s first application of non-invasive BCI technology in neuroscience research directly on a live performance stage.”

Results showed increased activity in areas of the brain responsible for emotion and sensory processing during artistic activity.

“Live performances elicit stronger brain resonance associated with emotional immersion,” explained doctoral student Li Zexuan, a member of the research team. “These findings reveal why live performances evoke deeper experiences in us.”

BCI technology, which records and decodes brain signals to enable “dialogue” between mind and machine, is rapidly developing in China.

Currently, this research group is collaborating with other universities and creative groups across the country to study the influence of art on mood.

“We aim to identify neural patterns in people suffering from emotional disorders, such as anxiety patients, to provide scientific guidance for emotional therapy,” said Gao Xiaorong. -0-
