一组非政府组织在一份联合报告中指出，去年全球主要银行对化石燃料的投资总额高达约9000亿美元（约1.15万亿新元），比2024年增长8%。

法新社报道，最新版的《气候混乱下的银行业》（Banking on Climate Chaos）报告称，自2015年旨在将全球变暖幅度控制在工业化前水平1.5摄氏度以内的《巴黎气候协定》签署以来，各银行已向石油、天然气和煤炭公司提供约9万亿美元的贷款、股票和债券。

报告分析的65家银行去年共提供了9060亿美元的金融支持，其中约五分之三的银行增加了相关资金投入。其中，只有26家银行在这一年减少对化石燃料相关投资的支出。

报告发现，美国摩根大通以582亿美元的化石燃料投资额居首，同比增长12.5%。这个数额超过了美国银行和日本三菱日联银行。

在欧洲方面，报告指出，法国银行集团对化石燃料的融资约为160亿美元，并且近年来总体呈下降趋势。

去年，由于欧洲和美国气候政策环境的恶化，联合国旨在推动银行业实现碳中和的“净零银行联盟”（NZBA）宣告终止。

银行对化石燃料的大额融资，可能会加剧气候变暖、拖慢能源转型，并增加未来金融风险。

报告指出，“如果这些银行在过去10年中将近9万亿美元的资金用于公正的能源转型，那么如今的世界将会更加健康、公平和清洁。”

报告也说：“银行业面临一个选择：要么继续加剧化石能源时代的脆弱、不平等和气候破坏，要么将资本流向现实——可再生能源更便宜、更快速、更安全且不可逆转。”

LEWISTON, ME – As Maine voters head to the polls Tuesday to nominate a Democratic Senate candidate, a Republican lawmaker in the state says that Maine voters should be most concerned with the policies of Graham Platner, even though his political baggage has received most of the attention.

“His personal life is a mess, right?” Maine Republican State Representative Laurel Libby told Fox News Digital on Monday. “We understand that. We’ve seen scandal after scandal come out. But what I think is incredibly dangerous are the policies that he’s looking to advance.”

Libby, who represents Maine House District 90, which encompasses Minot and part of Auburn, said one of the policies she is most concerned about is Platner’s support of the progressive “Green New Deal,” sweeping legislation that would cost taxpayers tens of trillions of dollars and phase out fossil fuel production.

“Taking the extreme green agenda to DC that has already made our cost of electricity skyrocket in our state under Democrat leadership for the last eight years,” Libby said. “If we see that implemented in D.C., and we see costs increase across the country, it won’t just be crushing Mainers, it will be crushing American families and workers across the board.”

Libby told Fox News Digital that it “doesn’t surprise me” Democrats are poised to nominate Platner, despite his laundry list of controversies that critics have seized on, because Maine has been led by the “same kind of extremism” for eight years as the party controls the governor’s mansion and legislature.

“We have seen 32 new or increased taxes, we’ve seen all of our overall cost of living increase and so Graham Platner has sprung out of that and is looking to take those same policies to D.C., harming not just Mainers but folks across the country,” Libby said. “I think he’s tremendously dangerous, and we can’t have him in the Senate.”

As Platner continues to experience high poll numbers despite his controversial positions and statements, Libby explained that she believes most of the affordability issues that are concerning voters are because of policies at the state level, rather than federal.

“I think the majority of Maine voters are in a place where they’re going, oh my gosh, the cost of living is killing us, it’s hard to do business in Maine. Our costs are going up, and so we need something,” Libby said. “Not understanding that it’s state policies that are making life so hard for us. And so they look for a savior, and they think, you know, some of them think, some of the more extreme Mainers think that they’ve found that in Graham Platner. Couldn’t be further from the truth.”

“All he’s gonna do is take these extreme policies that have already harmed us so tremendously here in Maine, increase electricity costs, increase the cost of living, increase our taxes, and take that to D.C., where then we’re gonna continue to see a burden increase on Mainers. I think Mainers would be well advised to stay far away from Graham Platner and his extreme policies, or else we’re going to see our costs continue to skyrocket here in Maine.”

Platner, widely believed to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for Senate, heads into a Tuesday night primary election where Democratic Gov. Janet Mills and former senior government official David Costello are on the ballot.

If victorious, Platner will square off against incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins in November.

Libby, who is not seeking re-election in 2026, recently launched Lead Maine, a group she hopes will empower more Maine voters with the tools to vote for strong conservative leaders in the state.

“We’re looking to educate, engage, and empower Mainers to make the change that we want to see in our state,” Libby said. “That does not include electing extremists like Graham Platner to the Senate, but making sure that Mainers understand that it’s the government that’s closest to us that affects us the most.”

Party over purity: US voters unlikely to turn backs on troubled candidates, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

2026-06-09T10:04:34.774Z / https://www.reuters.com/world/party-over-purity-us-voters-unlikely-turn-backs-troubled-candidates-reutersipsos-2026-06-09/

Summary

Reuters/Ipsos poll shows voters feel they sometimes have to vote for candidates they don’t like
Partisan loyalty outweighs candidate controversies, with many voting to block opposing party
Experts say independents may decide close races, citing polarization and candidate flaws

WASHINGTON, June 9 (Reuters) – Few Americans would abandon their party’s candidate over controversies such as Democrat Graham Platner’s ​Nazi-linked tattoo in Maine or Republican Ken Paxton’s fraud indictment in Texas, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, highlighting deep partisan divides that make winning paramount.

Two-thirds ‌of party-aligned respondents said they sometimes have to vote for a candidate they don’t like just to stop the other party from winning power, according to the six-day poll completed on Monday.

That principle will be put to the test in a Maine primary election on Tuesday, when Democratic oyster farmer Platner hopes to become a candidate for a Senate seat seen as crucial to Democrats’ hopes of winning a majority in that chamber in November.

In a ​nationwide poll, just 17% of Democrats familiar with Platner said his tattoo of a Nazi-style skull-and-crossbones would stop them from voting for him if they could vote in ​Maine’s election.

The same share of Republicans nationwide said they would refrain from voting for Texas Attorney General Paxton, who was indicted a decade ago ⁠on charges of defrauding investors, if they could vote in the state’s Senate election in November.

Either election could help determine which party controls the Senate, where Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. Campaigns for ​Platner and Paxton did not respond to requests for comment.

The poll gathered responses from 4,531 U.S. adults nationwide, including 546 Democrats familiar with Platner and 712 Republicans familiar with Paxton. ​It had a margin of error of 2 percentage points for respondents overall and 4 points for Republicans and Democrats familiar with the two candidates.

LESSER OF TWO EVILS

Some 76% of poll respondents, including similar shares of Democrats and Republicans, said they often had to vote for the lesser of two evils in U.S. elections.

Platner has

apologized, opens new tab
for the chest tattoo, which he says he got while drinking with fellow Marines ​nearly two decades ago. He said he was unaware the tattoo’s design was associated with Nazis and covered it with another tattoo last year after he launched his campaign.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey ​was conducted as further scrutiny fell on Platner, including reports that he exchanged sexually explicit messages with women while he was married. Platner has apologized publicly for the text messages, while calling reports ‌about them and ⁠other past behavior politically motivated.

Despite the controversies, Platner is seen as a strong contender to oust Republican Senator Susan Collins. Platner has campaigned with a populist message that Maine has become unaffordable for working-class people, and he has won endorsements from heavyweight allies including Chuck Schumer, a moderate and the top Democrat in the Senate, and Bernie Sanders, a progressive independent U.S. senator who caucuses with Democrats.

Platner’s rise reflects increased political polarization in America, with voters feeling they “just have to focus on not putting the other side in power,” said Mia Costa, a ​Dartmouth College political scientist who studies political ​psychology and partisanship.

While Paxton triumphed in the ⁠state’s primary election after winning President Donald Trump’s endorsement, he will face a tough general election opponent in Democrat James Talarico.

After his indictment, Paxton was impeached by the Texas House, and last year his wife filed for divorce on biblical grounds. He has denied all wrongdoing ​and says the allegations against him are politically motivated.

INDEPENDENT FACTOR

A wildcard in both the Maine and Texas races will be the power of ​independent voters. Six in ⁠10 poll respondents who described themselves as unaffiliated with either party said their vote was more likely to reflect their support of the candidate on the ballot.

“The more ‘normie’ candidate, as some people call them, will be trying to prevail among independents by pointing to the flaws of the candidate with issues,” said Cal Jillson, a political science professor at Southern Methodist University.

Talarico’s campaign ⁠on Monday touted ​the Democrat winning the endorsement of Dan Cogdell, Paxton’s former defense lawyer.

Some Democrats – including U.S. Senator Mark Warner ​of Virginia – say Platner has followed in the footsteps of Trump, who also overcame controversy during his political ascent.

“Trump set a new standard,” Warner said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday. “Whether that low standard is what we ought to ​proceed with, I think it’s going to be again in the hands of the voters.”

A first test for Platner and other key races to watch in Tuesday’s primaries in Maine and beyond

2026-06-09T09:00:08.427Z / CNN

Primaries in four states on Tuesday will offer clues about how much tolerance voters have for candidates embroiled in controversies, while testing President Donald Trump’s sway in a crowded Republican primary and setting up a key race for governor in one of the country’s premier presidential battleground states.

Elections will be held in Maine, South Carolina, Nevada and North Dakota.

The marquee contest is the race for US Senate in Maine. Not because there is much uncertainty around the outcome Tuesday, but because of the swirl of scandal surrounding expected Democratic nominee Graham Platner and what it could mean for the party’s hopes of flipping the seat and winning control of the chamber in November.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Join John King at CNN’s Magic Wall as he breaks down primary election results and takes your questions live on Tuesday night, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Here are some key storylines to watch as results come in Tuesday:

The Democratic Senate primary in Maine offers the first opportunity for voters to weigh in on the controversies that have surrounded Platner’s candidacy for months. Whether primary participants signal they have reservations with his campaign will be closely watched in what is a must-win contest if Democrats hope to flip control of the Senate this fall.

Despite revelations last fall about his past online comments and a tattoo tied to Nazi symbolism, which he has since had covered, Platner held a commanding lead in primary polls, prompting Democratic Gov. Janet Mills — the favorite of the party establishment, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer — to suspend her bid.

Amid recent reports about Platner sending sexually explicit messages to women who weren’t his wife and allegations of “unsettling,” and in at least one case physically threatening, behavior toward former partners, Mills reminded Maine voters that her name is still on the primary ballot. Despite some encouragement from her supporters, however, the 78-year-old has not resumed an active campaign.

If there is a sizable share of primary voters who turn out to vote for Mills, that could be an early warning sign for the progressive oyster farmer and Marine veteran that he has work to do in allaying concerns about his past conduct. Platner has disputed claims of physical intimidation and said the most serious allegations were false and politically motivated.

A pair of recent polls conducted before the latest revelations showed a competitive general election matchup between Platner and five-term GOP Sen. Susan Collins, with one giving Platner an advantage and the other finding no clear leader. As more Maine voters tune in to the race in the weeks and months to come, keep an eye on any shift in those numbers.

There is a crowded Republican primary for governor in the key early presidential primary state of South Carolina that stands to serve as the next test of Trump’s ability to sway the minds of GOP voters.

It’s a significant question as the party charts its path toward a future in which Trump will never again appear at the top of a ballot. Republican primary voters have largely followed Trump’s lead this spring, ousting two senators, a Kentucky congressmanand a handful of Indiana state lawmakers whom Trump had opposed.

While Trump remains the most dominant force in Republican politics, his endorsed candidate in last week’s Iowa GOP governor primary — Rep. Randy Feenstra — lost to businessman Zach Lahn. In Georgia last month, Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones advanced to a runoff in the GOP primary for governor against businessman Rick Jackson, placing first but failing to clear 50%.

In the Palmetto State, the president endorsed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette over state Attorney General Alan Wilson, Reps. Nancy Mace and Ralph Norman, and businessman Rom Reddy.

If no candidate clears 50% Tuesday, the top two vote-getters will advance to a June 23 runoff. The performance of Evette, who also has the backing of term-limited Gov. Henry McMaster, a longtime Trump ally, might offer clues on much the president’s preference matters to GOP voters looking ahead to the 2028 presidential nominating fight, when the state could play a crucial role.

The contest is also reprising a bit of 2024 intrigue, with former Gov. Nikki Haley endorsing Norman’s bid after the staunch conservative backed her presidential campaign against Trump. Another House Republican who has broken with Trump, Mace, has cast the president’s support for Evette as punishment for her push for the Justice Department to release records related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Also worth watching Tuesday night in South Carolina is Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bid for reelection. Trump participated in a tele-rally Monday night for Graham, a staunch supporter of the president’s war with Iran. He faces five opponents, including Mark Lynch, a self-funding businessman who faults Graham for what Lynch describers as out-of-control federal spending. The big question is whether Graham will clear the 50% threshold, or face a runoff.

A Bush on the ballot in Maine

Once dominant in Republican politics, the Bush family has not had a member in elected office since George P. Bush, the oldest child of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, lost his bid for Texas attorney general in 2022 and ended his second term as Texas land commissioner in 2023.

The family’s brand might be out of step with the modern GOP, after Trump was elected in 2016 by vanquishing Jeb Bush in the Republican primary with a message that rejected many positions dominant within the party during George W. Bush’s presidency.

But Jonathan Bush, the nephew of former President George H.W. Bush and cousin of George W. Bush, is seeking a revival in the Maine governor’s race. The former healthcare technology executive is one of eight Republicans running for the party’s nomination in the race to succeed the term-limited Mills.

Former Navy intelligence officer Bobby Charles, who served in George W. Bush’s administration, is seen as the front-runner — though with such a big field, the state’s ranked-choice voting is likely to be a factor in the outcome.

The same holds true for the Democratic primary, where five candidates are vying for the nomination, with former state Sen. Troy Jackson; Nirav Shah, former director of the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention; and Hannah Pingree, a former state House speaker and daughter of US Rep. Chellie Pingree, seen as the leading contenders.

Maine Democratic Rep. Jared Golden’s retirement has created an open seat in a district that Trump carried by roughly 10 points in 2024. Republican former Gov. Paul LePage is trying to stage a political comeback, while Democrats face a contested primary between state Sen. Joe Baldacci, state Auditor Matt Dunlap and former congressional staffer Jordan Wood.

The 2nd District seat will be a focus of both parties this fall. Golden had an established history of convincing voters to split their ballots. But without him on the ballot, it could represent a pickup opportunity for Republicans, who are battling political headwinds as they seek to maintain their slim House majority.

A favorable national environment could buoy the Democratic nominee, but whether it will be enough to carry Tuesday’s winner past a universally known former governor in a district Trump won twice is a major question.

Nevada Gov. Joe Lombardo, a Republican, was the only person to topple an incumbent governor anywhere in the country in 2022. As he seeks a second term, he’ll first need to move past a field of six primary challengers.

The Silver State’s governor’s race is expected to be a hard-fought one between Lombardo and Democrat Aaron Ford, the state attorney general. Ford, too, needs primary voters’ approval on Tuesday. He faces five other Democrats, including Washoe County Commissioner Alexis Hill.

Nevada voters will also set the matchups for three Democratic-held US House seats that could all be competitive in November.

Another familiar name will appear on Republican primary ballots: Sharron Angle. The tea party candidate who lost a 2010 Senate race against the late Sen. Harry Reid is one of four Republicans running for secretary of state. The primary winner will take on Democratic incumbent Cisco Aguilar.

International Criminal Court chief prosecutor Karim Khan suspended over sexual misconduct allegations

June 9, 2026 4:56 AM EDT / CBS/AP

The Hague, Netherlands — In an unprecedented move, the embattled chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court was suspended from his duties late Monday after the court’s oversight body referred British barrister Karim Khan for disciplinary proceedings.

The 56-year-old is facing allegations of sexual misconduct with a female aide, in a scandal that has dragged on for more than two years. He has steadfastly denied any wrongdoing.

A final decision on Khan’s fate is now up to the Assembly of States Parties, the body that oversees the ICC, which will hold a special session to decide if Khan can remain in his job at the global court.

The Bureau of the Assembly of States parties – the executive committee of the court’s oversight body – said in a statement that it based its decision “on the report of an investigation undertaken by the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS), the underlying evidence, the advice of an ad hoc Panel of judicial experts, and written submissions.”

It added that Khan’s suspension pending the assembly meeting “is not an indication of the final outcome.”

The U.N. investigation found evidence that Khan had “nonconsensual sexual contact with (the aide) in his office, at his private residence, and whilst on mission,” according to a copy of its report seen by The Associated Press. However, a three-judge panel selected by the executive committee for a legal assessment of the findings found that the investigation was not conclusive enough.

When contacted for comment, Khan’s legal team said a statement would be issued Tuesday.

Khan had already temporarily stepped down in May 2025 pending the outcome of the investigation. The process is unprecedented for the ICC, and the Assembly of States Parties has had to repeatedly create new rules to accommodate the situation.

The allegations against Khan were first reported to the court’s independent watchdog more than two years ago. An AP investigation revealed that Khan was alleged to have seen the woman working in another ICC department and moved her into his office. She later became a regular presence on official trips, according to whistleblower documents.

On one foreign trip, Khan allegedly asked her to rest with him on a hotel bed and then “sexually touched her,” the documents said. Other alleged nonconsensual behavior cited in the documents included locking the door of his office and sticking his hand in her pocket. He also allegedly asked her several times to accompany him on a vacation.

Only the Assembly of States Parties has the authority to remove Khan from office, a move that would require a majority in a secret ballot of its 125 member states. Sixty-three countries would need to support a measure to remove him.

No date was immediately set for the session, but the assembly said it would be convened as soon as possible.

In November 2024, Khan issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli defense chief Yoav Gallant, as well as three senior Hamas leaders. The move drew protests from the Biden administration, with Biden calling it “outrageous.”

A year ago, the Trump administration sanctioned four ICC judges, citing the court’s “politicization and abuse of power” after the ruling authorizing the arrest warrant for Netanyahu and another targeting the actions of U.S. personnel in Afghanistan.

美国建隔离中心照料接触伊波拉美国人 遭肯尼亚民众抗议

多名肯尼亚民众聚集抗议，反对美国在肯尼亚空军基地附近建造隔离中心，用于安置接触过伊波拉病毒的美国人。

路透社报道，数十人星期二（6月9日）聚集在中部城镇纳纽基的空军基地附近，一些人身穿防护装备，抬着一个写有“伊波拉”字样的棺材。

一名抗议者也手持一个白色十字架，上面用红色字体写着“尊重伊波拉”。

当地警方随后向抗议者发射催泪瓦斯，驱散示威者，并逮捕多人。

上周，纳纽基也爆发抗议活动。人权组织称有两人死亡，但尚不清楚死因。

尽管肯尼亚法院已下令禁止继续施工，但美国政府仍急于建造隔离中心，加剧了当地居民的不满。肯尼亚从未出现过伊波拉病例，许多人反对将这种高传染疾病的潜在携带者带入该国。

不过，肯尼亚总统鲁托誓言将继续推进此项目，称肯尼亚多年来一直得到华盛顿的援助。他上周说：“近25到30年来，美国人民和政府一直是我们在卫生领域的合作伙伴……如果美国提出要求让我们出资建立这样一个设施，而我们却拒绝，那将非常遗憾。我们会显得非常不人道。”

美国政府称，这次疫情与2014年至2016年的疫情不同，美国“不能也不会允许”任何病例进入美国。当时，一些感染伊波拉病毒的美国公民在美国本土接受治疗。

据美国和外交消息人士以及航班追踪数据显示，尽管法院已下令阻止该计划，但美国军用飞机仍在继续运送人员和设备，预计本周将有多架飞机降落。

路透社获得的卫星图像显示，自5月27日以来，莱基皮亚空军基地内一块面积约0.046平方公里的空地上，正搭建越来越多白色帐篷。

美国方面说，他们已注意到这起诉讼，并正在“与肯尼亚政府合作，以解决任何异议”。华盛顿已承诺向肯尼亚的伊波拉疫情防范工作提供1350万美元（约1735万新元）的援助。

肯尼亚官员则说，这个设施除了服务美国公民，也将照料肯尼亚人和外国公民，但美国官员尚未证实这一说法。

世界卫生组织已宣布刚果（金）的伊波拉疫情构成国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。目前已确诊515起感染病例，其中91人死亡。

“U.S. forces disabled an unladen oil tanker in the Gulf of Oman, June 8, after the vessel violated the ongoing blockade against Iran by attempting to sail to an Iranian port,” a June 8 CENTCOM press release stated.

“U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) disabled Palau-flagged M/T Marivex as it transited international waters in the Gulf of Oman toward Iran. An F/A-18 Super Hornet from USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) fired a precision munition into the ship’s engineering and steering spaces after the crew failed to comply with directions from U.S. forces. Marivex is no longer sailing to Iran,” the release continued.
