美国军方说，一艘空载油轮试图违反美国对伊朗的封锁驶向伊朗港口，美军向油轮开火，使它丧失航行能力。

路透社报道，美国中央司令部星期一（6月8日）在官方X账号发表声明说，这艘悬挂帕劳国旗的“马里韦克斯”号（M/T Marivex）油轮当时正在阿曼湾国际水域航行，驶往伊朗。

声明指油轮已停止驶往伊朗。

另一方面，印度航运部表示，油轮上载有24名印度船员，并指油轮曾报告发生火灾，但所有船员安全。

联邦港口和航运部主任夏尔马在一新闻发布会说：“我们正与外交部、我们在海外的印度使团、印度海军以及国防部协调，以确保船员安全。”他此前确认马里韦克斯号油轮在马达加斯加注册。

新华社引述消息称，这艘油轮“违反美国封锁令”，当时经由阿曼湾国际海域向伊朗方向航行，船员拒绝遵从美军指令。美国“林肯”号航空母舰的一架F/A-18“超级大黄蜂”战斗机向油轮发射了精确制导武器，使它丧失航行能力。

美国中央司令部说，自4月13日开始对伊朗港口的海上交通实施封锁以来，美军已使七艘商船丧失航行能力，强制134艘船只改变航向。

Los Angeles City Councilwoman Nithya Raman advanced Monday evening to a runoff election against Mayor Karen Bass in a heated race that has garnered national attention.

The outcome sets up a general election that pits Bass, an incumbent fending off criticism about her record, against Raman’s progressive message of government-led affordability measures. The result means Spencer Pratt, a Republican and former “The Hills” reality TV star, is out of the race, according to The Associated Press.

Voters will decide the overall winner on Nov. 3.

“I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles,” Raman said in a statement. “… If you’re as frustrated by the broken status quo as I am, I hope you’ll join our movement to build a city that works for everyone.”

In a post on X, Bass took aim at both Pratt and what she characterized as the “MAGA agenda,” while also criticizing Raman.

“We won on Tuesday — and LA rejected Spencer Pratt and the MAGA agenda. Next, we’ll win in November!” Bass wrote. “Because this is an election with a choice between whether we keep making change together or Nithya Raman, who allows encampments near schools and fights against hiring more cops, yet is MIA on saving Hollywood jobs and fighting back when ICE invades LA.”

Raman, a member of the Los Angeles City Council and Democratic Socialists of America, has served as chair of the Housing and Homelessness Committee since 2023. She has also been dubbed a Mamdani-style socialist, referring to far-left New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

In her view, there is more the city could be doing to address not just its homelessness problem, but also increasing housing supply, maintaining public safety, furthering climate goals and pushing back against federal immigration enforcement efforts.

“We can bring LA back to what it really is: one of the most creative, beautiful and most hopeful places in the world. But only if we come together to fight for it,” Raman said in a campaign video.

During the race, Raman pitched herself as a hopeful alternative to Bass’ leadership and what she called a fear-fueled campaign from Spencer Pratt, a rightward-leaning independent who gained traction in the closing weeks of the campaign.

“We have a mayor who has failed to lead this city and, on the other hand, a right-wing extremist, powered by MAGA, who’s channeling people’s frustrations about this city into fear and anger and hatred,” Raman said.

Bass, who first came into office in 2022, argues she has a track record that is taking the city in the right direction.

Despite fending off criticisms about the Palisade fires, a stubbornly visible homelessness population and budget deficits, Bass argued she’s taken steps to address all of those areas in her three years in the role.

“Los Angeles is at a turning point. After decades of rising homelessness, under-built housing and a shrinking police force, it’s Mayor Karen Bass who finally stepped up to change how City Hall works,” Bass’s website reads.

“Homelessness is down, more housing is being built and LAPD is hiring new officers.”

Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom endorsed Bass on May 28.

Bass originally won election in 2022 in a 54.8% to 45.2% victory over independent challenger Rick J. Caruso.

中国企业百度表示将毫不犹豫地采取一切可用手段，争取从美国国防部支援中国军方企业名单中移除。 （路透社档案照）

针对被列入美国国防部的支援中国军方清单，中国企业百度表示坚决反对，并将毫不犹豫地采取一切可用手段，争取从名单中移除。

美国五角大楼星期一（6月8日）更新了协助中国军方的中国企业清单，将阿里巴巴、百度、比亚迪、长江存储、长鑫存储、药明康德、宇树科技、速腾聚创等列入1260H涉中国军方企业。被列入名单后，美国军方将被限制与这些公司直接采购，之后还会扩展到第三方采购。《金融时报》指出，虽然名单本身不构成立即制裁，但可能预示后续更严厉措施。

据路透社，百度星期二（6月9日）回应说，坚决反对将百度列入该名单，认为美方没有任何可信依据将百度纳入其中。百度表示，所谓百度是“军方公司”的说法毫无根据。公司将毫不犹豫地采取一切可行选项，争取从名单中移除。

五角大楼说，这些被列入“中国涉军企业”清单并在美国开展业务的公司“符合中国军工企业的认定标准”。根据美国法律，五角大楼每年至少提交一次中国涉军企业清单。五角大楼也说，这些公司可以申请从清单中移除。

此前，腾讯，宁德时代，大疆和禾赛科技也被列入这一名单。其中，禾赛科技曾就此提起诉讼。

美国总统特朗普星期一（6月8日）提名代理司法部长布兰奇正式出任司法部长，但围绕布兰奇的争议可能导致他的参议院确认提名之路面临阻力。

路透社报道，白宫8日宣布，已将布兰奇的提名提交参议院审议，这项提名将考验特朗普对参议院共和党人的影响力。

国会共和党人一直以来顺从于特朗普的要求，但随着美国中期选举临近，共和党内部日益表现出敢于抵制特朗普某些议程的迹象。

布兰奇原是特朗普的私人律师，特朗普去年重返白宫后，布兰奇于同年3月成为美国副司法部长。特朗普今年4月解雇司法部长邦迪后，就由布兰奇担任代理司法部长。

而布兰奇的表现显示他极愿意配合特朗普，包括动用司法部资源来打击特朗普眼中的政治对手，同时向特朗普的盟友提供帮助。布兰奇日前提出18亿美元（约23亿新元）的“反武器化基金”，目的是为声称遭到拜登前政府“迫害”的受害者作出补偿。由于共和党议员也广泛谴责这项计划，担忧反武器化基金将用于赔偿因2021年1月6日国会骚乱事件被判坐牢的暴徒，布兰奇最终称这项计划已撤销。

布兰奇要通过司法部长的提名必须获得参议院共和党人近乎一致的支持，共和党目前以53比47的微弱优势控制着参议院。

The Massachusetts legislature passed a bill that would remove “outdated and offensive language” used to describe people with disabilities in the state’s General Laws.

The measure would eliminate various terms, including “handicapped,” “disabled,” and the “r-word” in favor of language such as “persons with a disability” and “person with an intellectual or developmental disability.”

The bill, which was introduced by Democratic state Sen. Pat Jehlen and listed with 17 petitioners, now heads to Democrat Gov. Maura Healey’s desk.

The 61-page bill updates 346 sections of Massachusetts law.

“Language is constantly changing.And it’s changing because of the activism of people who were ignored and demeaned for too long,” Democrat state Sen. Pat Jehlen, the Senate’s primary sponsor of the legislation, said in a statement. “When people tell us they feel insulted and offended by the use of outdated words, we worked to change the legal language. It took a long time, because we kept finding more examples of offensive language. Language and activism will continue to evolve, and there’ll always be more work to do, but this is a gigantic step forward in respect.”

Some of the updated language featured in the bill includes replacing “disabled person” with “person with a disability,” “handicapped” with “disability” and “retarded” with phrases such as “person with an intellectual or developmental disability.”

The legislation also scraps terms such as “crippled” and “deformed” when referring to people with disabilities.

The term “hearing-impaired” was revised to “deaf or hard of hearing” and the “chronically ill” was changed to “persons who are chronically ill.”

Additionally, the bill amends specific legal definitions, including changing the current definition of “caretaker” — which describes an individual or entity responsible for a “disabled person” — to instead use the phrase “a person with a disability.”

“When dusty and dangerous relics of a bygone era darken our laws, it creates the potential for real harm to residents today,” Senate President Karen Spilka, a Democrat, said in a statement. “Thanks to the voices of advocates like former Senate staff member Melissa Reilly and the leadership of Senator Jehlen and Senator Kennedy, the Legislature has acted to make our laws better represent who we are in 21st-century Massachusetts.”

“With a White House that glorifies, and seemingly longs for, the days when many Americans were discriminated against because of who they are, now is the time to make sure our state laws respect and support the rights and dignity of our residents,” she added.

The passage of this measure comes after a 2024 law that renamed the Massachusetts Rehabilitation Commission to MassAbility, which state officials argued was a display of a broader effort to modernize disability services and promote inclusion. That law also reflected a broader move away from terms state officials described as outdated or offensive.

“As lawmakers, we know that words matter,” said state Speaker of the House Ronald J. Mariano, a Democrat.”This legislation is our latest effort to ensure that our state laws do not use antiquated words that carry negative connotations, words that also serve as a reminder of past injustices.”

The bill passed with broad legislative support, including unanimous recorded votes in both chambers.

日媒：特朗普政府敦促中国恢复对日稀土供应

2026年6月9日 11:41 / 联合早报

美国总统特朗普政府敦促中国恢复对日本出口稀土，称此举关系全球供应链稳定。

根据路透社，日经新闻星期二（6月9日）引述多名美国和日本的匿名外交消息人士报道这项消息。

路透社此前引述中国海关数据报道，自去年12月以来，中国已基本停止对日本出口镝、铽、氧化钇等重稀土，晶片制造所需的关键金属镓的出口也几乎全面暂停，仅有极少量氧化钇仍维持零星出货。

日本经济产业部长赤泽亮正此前在中国江苏省苏州市召开的亚太经合组织（APEC）贸易部长会议期间，对中方管制稀土出口措施表达关切。

日本能源金属矿产资源机构的数据显示，日本每年约2万吨的稀土需求主要依赖进口，2024年有70%来自中国。

Trump steps up attacks on California’s election system

Summary

President disputes outcome of Los Angeles mayoral race

• US House speaker joins Trump in ridiculing pace of vote count
• California critique adds to mounting, unproven vote fraud claims

LOS ANGELES, June 8 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday repeated claims that California’s elections are rigged, disputing without evidence voter tallies showing the Republican candidate he endorsed in the Los Angeles mayor’s race ​appeared headed for defeat.

Trump’s attack on California’s election system and what he called the excessive amount of time it takes the Democratic-controlled state to count votes ​was the latest twist in his long-running narrative of elections being rigged against him and other Republicans.

In an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that aired on Sunday, Trump stormed out of an interview after the host, Kristen Welker, challenged his unproven assertions that California election officials were cheating because after several days they “aren’t even close” to finalizing the results.

On Monday, Trump questioned election returns showing Republican Spencer Pratt, the former reality TV star ​he backed in the Los Angeles mayor’s race, falling into third place behind two Democrats – incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and City Council member Nithya Raman – six days after ​polls closed.

“Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the L.A. runoffs after the big lead he had,” Trump wrote. “Rigged Elections!”

California officials have countered ⁠that the state’s election system is subject to rigorous safeguards that include testing of voting equipment, strict controls on the chain of custody of ballots and verification of all signatures.

Trump also ​pointed to the California governor’s race, where the Republican he endorsed for that election, TV commentator Steve Hilton, was trailing two Democrats in the primary – former cabinet secretary Xavier Becerra and billionaire ​environmental activist Tom Steyer.

“Now they’ll be working on great guy Steve Hilton,” Trump wrote, seeming to suggest that Democrats were manipulating the primary vote count to exclude Hilton from the final contest.

Under California’s “open primary” system, all candidates for elective office compete on a single primary ballot – rather than on separate ballots for Democrats and Republicans – and the top two vote-getters in the primary advance to a general runoff election in November.

Bass emerged ​as the clear frontrunner among the 14 mayoral candidates, commanding nearly 35% of the votes counted as of Monday. Raman, who started out in third place, edged past Pratt for the ​No. 2 spot on Sunday and remained ahead of him in second place on Monday with 27.12% of the votes tallied.

Pratt, still trailing at No. 3 with 26.69% of the vote, insisted on social ​media on Monday ⁠that he still had a chance to clinch a spot in the November runoff.

“Folks, we’re dealing with a fraction of a percentage point difference,” he wrote on X. “There’s still hundreds of thousands of votes outstanding, and LA officials have given us the next three weeks to count!”

On Sunday, Pratt suggested that a “net swing of more than 43,000 votes since Tuesday” came from ballots cast by homeless people. Referring to a recent annual count of the city’s unhoused population documenting more than 43,000 individuals experiencing homelessness on any given night in Los Angeles, Pratt wrote: “43,000, huh? Where ​have I seen that number before …? Probably nothing.”

‘COUNTING ​VOTES FOR WEEKS’

The Republican Speaker of the ⁠U.S. House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, weighed in with comments of his own, doubting the integrity of California’s elections.

“They are counting votes for weeks after the election,” he said. Asked for evidence of rigged elections, Johnson replied, “Some of these efforts are so diabolical and so far upstream ​it is impossible to prove.”

Republican criticism of California’s election system builds on Trump’s persistent repetition of false claims that his 2020 White House ​bid was stolen from him.

White ⁠House insiders and others familiar with the matter have said that harping on 2020 assertions of election fraud points to Trump’s strategy of justifying new voting restrictions and energizing his base ahead of November elections that will determine control of Congress.

By casting the 2020 election as illegitimate, Trump is also laying the groundwork to challenge Republican losses and undermine Democrats if they win back power, multiple election ⁠experts have ​said.

California’s prolonged ballot-counting process stems largely from a mail-in voting system designed to increase voter participation, which Trump has ​long said is prone to fraud.

The bulk of California votes in recent elections have been cast by mail, with ballots postmarked by election day accepted up to a week afterward, adding to the time it takes for them to ​be validated, processed and tabulated. States where voting is still conducted largely in person are thus able to finalize results more quickly.
