1. Politics: Problems During Election 🚨

Hong Kong's big election for lawmakers (LegCo) is coming soon. But some people are causing trouble. Police caught two men who drew on and broke election posters on a bridge in Mong Kok. They did this to damage the posters. Also, at a meeting for election candidates, one woman fell down while talking. But the meeting went on, and she can speak again later. Police caught another person for telling people not to vote in the election. The government says: No trouble allowed!

2. Health: More Mosquito Sickness 🦟

Mosquitoes can spread a fever called chikungunya. It makes you feel hot, have joint pain, and get a rash. Hong Kong now has its fourth local case – that's when someone gets sick right here, not from travel. This one is not connected to the first three. Doctors are watching mosquitoes very closely because more people might get sick. No big groups of cases yet. To stop it, use bug spray, wear long clothes, and clear water where mosquitoes hide. Stay safe!

3. Business: Xiaomi Makes Lots of Money 📈

Xiaomi is a big company that makes phones and electric cars. In the third part of this year (July to September), they earned a record HK$11.3 billion in profit. That's 81% more than last year – like getting way more pocket money! They sold 108,800 electric cars and made money from them for the first time. Their phone sales are good too. But today, Xiaomi's shares (part of the company people buy) went down a little because the whole stock market is nervous.

4. Crime: Bad Guys Caught and in Court ⚖

Three men who attacked and killed a person connected to a secret gang (called a triad) were sent back to Hong Kong from China. The attack happened in Sha Tin in March. Now police can question them here. In another case, a court said no to a police officer's request to stop his trial. He is on trial for a taxi driver's death. Also, a lawyer said sorry in court for having sex with a 12-year-old girl. He says he really loved her, but the case is still going on. (This is very wrong – always tell a trusted adult if something bad happens.)

5. Sports: Fencers Win Big in National Games 🥇

Hong Kong's men's foil fencing team (foil is a thin sword) made history! They beat Fujian 45-34 to reach and win the final at the National Games in Hong Kong. It's their first gold medal ever in this big China sports event. Stars like Ryan Choi and Edgar Cheung helped a lot. The coach said the team worked super hard. They're getting ready to sell tickets for para sports (for athletes with disabilities). Oh, and in soccer, Hong Kong lost to Singapore in a match to qualify for the Asian Cup – but keep cheering!

1. 政治：選舉期間出現問題🚨 香港立法會大選即將舉行。但有些人卻在製造麻煩。警方在旺角一座橋上抓獲兩名男子，他們塗鴉並撕毀了競選海報。 此外，在一次候選人見面會上，一名女子在發言時摔倒。但會議繼續進行，她之後可以繼續發言。 警方還抓獲了一名煽動民眾不要投票的人。政府表示：不允許任何麻煩！ 2. 健康：蚊媒疾病再發🦟 蚊子會傳播一種名為基孔肯雅熱的疾病。這種疾病會導致發燒、關節疼痛和皮疹。香港目前出現了第四例本地病例－即在本地感染，而非旅遊感染。這一病例與前三例無關。 醫生們正在密切關注蚊子，因為可能會有更多人感染。目前尚未出現大規模聚集性病例。為了防止蚊蟲叮咬，請使用驅蚊噴霧，穿長袖衣褲，並清理蚊子藏身之處的水源。注意安全！ 3. 商業：小米賺得盆滿缽滿📈 小米是一家生產手機和電動車的大公司。今年上半年（7月至9月），小米的利潤高達113億港元，創歷史新高。這比去年同期成長了81%——簡直就像多了很多零用錢！他們售出了108,800輛電動車，並首次實現了盈利。 他們的手機銷售也不錯。但今天，由於整個股市的緊張情緒，小米的股票（人們購買的公司股票）略有下跌。 4. 犯罪：罪犯落網受審⚖ 三名男子因襲擊並殺害一名與秘密幫派（三合會）有關聯的人員而被從中國大陸遣返回香港。攻擊事件發生在3月的沙田。現在，警方可以在香港對他們進行訊問。 另一起案件中，一名警員要求中止審判的請求被法院駁回。他因涉嫌導致一名出租車司機死亡而受審。 此外，一名律師在法庭上就與一名12歲女孩發生性關係一事道歉。他說他真的很愛她，但案件仍在審理中。 （這是非常錯誤的——如果發生不好的事情，一定要告訴值得信賴的成年人。） 5. 體育：擊劍隊在全運會上大獲全勝🥇 香港男子花劍隊（花劍是一種細劍）創造了歷史！他們在香港舉行的全運會上以45比34擊敗福建隊，最後奪冠。這是他們在這項中國大型體育賽事中獲得的首枚金牌。像蔡瑞安和張德強這樣的明星隊員功不可沒。教練說，隊員們付出了巨大的努力。 他們正準備出售殘障運動會（殘障運動員的比賽）的門票。哦，對了，在足球比賽中，香港隊在亞洲盃資格賽中輸給了新加坡隊——但請繼續為他們加油！ 今天的全部新聞都到這裡！
