  • 贝尔格莱德检方:警方局长关联桶藏尸案


    2026-05-22 06:56:00 北美东部时间 / 哥伦比亚广播公司(CBS)新闻

    更新时间:2026年5月22日 北美东部时间上午7:09 / CBS/法新社

    检方表示,塞尔维亚警方周四发现一具被塞进桶内的男子尸体,该男子此前在一家餐厅遭遇与有组织犯罪关联的枪击,此事导致贝尔格莱德警方局长被捕。

    塞尔维亚警方和军方当时正在搜寻亚历山大·内索维奇——绰号“巴亚”,他于上周失踪。此前贝尔格莱德警方局长韦塞林·米利奇 allegedly 邀请他和另外两名男子前往一家名为“27”的餐厅,以解决彼此间的分歧。

    但检方称,这场会面最终酿成致命结局,该男子被另外两名男子中的一人“以卑劣手段杀害”。

    当地媒体报道称,枪击发生前双方曾发生争执。

    据悉,死者与枪击者均为贝尔格莱德知名黑道人物。

    检方早前透露,米利奇及其三名警方保镖在谋杀案发生后协助了行凶者。

    这起涉嫌谋杀案发生在5月12日至13日的夜间。

    调查已针对包括米利奇在内的10人展开,罪名涉及“加重谋杀及其他刑事犯罪”。餐厅老板也在被捕人员之列。

    周四,贝尔格莱德高级公共检察官办公室表示,在贝尔格莱德西北约25英里的因吉亚自治市一处掩埋点,“发现一具疑似为被通缉的A.N.的尸体,装在桶内”。

    检方在一份声明中表示,尸体将被送往进行尸检和DNA分析。

    塞尔维亚总统亚历山大·武契奇周四晚些时候对国营广播公司RTS表示:“根据衣物线索,我们可以99.9%确定这就是(亚历山大·)内索维奇。”

    他承诺当局将“处理腐败的警官”。

    “所有参与保护罪犯的人员都必须离开岗位,”他说。

    检方还透露,本案已缴获24部手机、一个健身手环、两台笔记本电脑和10辆汽车作为证据。

    当地媒体报道称,这起事件在与媒体和社交网络建立关联后才被公之于众。

    贝尔格莱德律师伊万·尼尼奇在一次电视采访中表示:“消息开始泄露,当局被迫澄清局势。当晚在谢尼亚克发生的事情有众多目击者。”

    米利奇于5月15日被捕后被解职。经审讯后,他被还押拘留30天。

    据当地媒体报道,米利奇曾于2018年至2020年间担任武契奇总统的安全顾问。

    Body found stuffed in barrel linked to police chief, Belgrade prosecutors say

    Updated on: May 22, 2026 / 7:09 AM EDT / CBS/AFP

    Serbian police on Thursday found the body of a man stuffed in a barrel following his organized crime-linked shooting in a restaurant that led to the arrest of Belgrade’s police chief, prosecutors said.

    Serbian police and army were searching for Aleksandar Nesovic, known as “Baja,” who disappeared last week after Belgrade police chief Veselin Milic allegedly invited him to a restaurant called “27” to resolve mutual disagreements with two other men.

    But the meeting ended fatally as the man was “killed in a treacherous manner” by one of the two other men, according to prosecutors.

    Local media reports said the two had an argument before the shooting.

    Both the dead and the shooter were reportedly known Belgrade underworld figures.

    Milic and three of his police bodyguards helped the perpetrators after the murder, prosecutors said earlier.

    The alleged murder occurred overnight between May 12 and 13.

    An investigation was launched into 10 people, including Milic, over “aggravated murder and other criminal offenses.” The owner of the restaurant were among those arrested.

    On Thursday, Belgrade’s higher public prosecutor’s office said that a “body believed to be that of A.N., who was being sought, was found in a barrel” buried in the municipality of Indjija, some 25 miles northwest of Belgrade.

    The body will be sent for an autopsy and DNA analysis, they said in a statement.

    “We can confirm with 99.9 percent certainty that it is (Aleksandar) Nesovic … based on clothing,” Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic told the state-run broadcaster RTS later on Thursday.

    He pledged that the authorities will “deal with corrupt police officers.”

    “All those involved in protecting criminals will have to leave their posts,” he said.

    Prosecutors also said that 24 mobile phones, one fitness bracelet, two laptops and 10 vehicles were seized as evidence in the case.

    Local media reported that the incident was only made public after links to the media and social networks.

    “Information started to leak out and the authorities were forced to clarify the situation. There are many witnesses to what happened that night in Senjak,” Belgrade lawyer Ivan Ninic said in a TV interview.

    Milic was dismissed from his post after his arrest on May 15. He was remanded in custody for 30 days after questioning.

    Milic previously served as security adviser to President Vucic between 2018 and 2020, according to local media.

    我国羽球双打好手金羽佳退役 攻读工商管理

    2026年5月22日 19:41 / 联合早报

    金羽佳上个月就已决定退役,但一直未对外公布消息。接下来她将攻读工商管理课程。 (谢智扬摄)

    我国羽毛球双打好手金羽佳星期五(5月22日)公开退役消息,结束11年的职业生涯。

    在星期五(5月22日)的PSB学院与新加坡羽毛球总会谅解备忘录签约仪式后,成为首批奖学金得主、将入读工商管理课程的金羽佳透露,自己上个月就已决定退役,只是还没对外公布消息。

    金羽佳出生于浙江杭州。2009年时,她的母亲、中国前国手杨年红来到狮城担任青年队教练,当时12岁的金羽佳也跟随母亲来到新加坡。

    之后,她入选新加坡国家队,代表我国在2022年伯明翰共运会斩获混团铜牌,并在2019、2021、2023、2025四届东运会上获得女团铜牌。

    金羽佳女双、混双兼项。在与黄嘉盈搭档女双时,两人最高世界排名一度来到第16位,但在后者2022年退役后,金羽佳开始与不同选手搭档参加女双和混双赛。

    金羽佳(左)/黄嘉盈的女双组合最高世界排名曾达到第16位,图为两人在2022年共运会上比赛。(档案照片)

    到了2024年底,由于我国混双夫妻档许永凯和陈薇涵因后者退役而拆伙,金羽佳便与前者搭档混双,但在同年12月赢得孟加拉国际挑战赛冠军后,没能取得更多突破。许永凯此后曾短暂搭档印度尼西亚女将格洛丽亚,目前仍在寻觅新搭档。

    金羽佳(右)曾尝试与许永凯(左)搭档混双,但整体效果不佳。(新加坡羽毛球总会档案照片)

    谈及决定挂拍的原因,29岁的金羽佳说:“在新加坡(职业)打球的人也不是很多。按长远来看,目标也不是很明确。”

    金羽佳9岁开始打球,18岁时正式开启职业生涯。她坦言,这一路有快乐也有遗憾。“每次我们出国比赛,像东运、共运和亚运会这种大型比赛,印象都比较深刻。”

    她补充道:“我觉得(职业生涯)起起伏伏,有高点的时候,当然也有低谷的时候,但是既然决定退役了,那就往前看。”

    对年轻选手充满期待 未想好毕业后去向

    挂拍后,她也对年轻一代运动员充满期待。新加坡羽毛球公开赛(超级750赛)将在下星期二(5月26日)拉开帷幕,除男单的骆建佑和郑加恒,以及女单的杨佳敏外,我国还派出双打小将组合洼纯佑/高永杰,迎战印尼强档古塔马/伊斯法哈尼。

    金羽佳说,能看到年轻人加入国家队,“很为他们开心”。“新加坡公开赛很难进,他们如果能进比赛,就已经很好了。我希望他们不要这么轻易放弃,因为这条路不好走,但是既然选择了,就要坚持下去”。

    她还认为,比起曝光度更大的男女单选手,女双是一个“比较冷门的项目”,希望能获得更多重视。

    金羽佳说:“女孩子的速度力量不可以跟男孩子比,所以观感上没有这么好看。

    “每个人学球都是从单打入门,所以单打的曝光率相对比双打高一些,但我也希望全世界对双打能多一点重视,因为每个项目都不容易、都很难走。”

    金羽佳目前在帮助羽总筹备新加坡公开赛,接下来将修读工商管理课程,学制在两年到三年左右。对于毕业后的打算,她目前还没有太多想法。

    “先到处学习一下,然后看自己适合什么道路。目前没有考虑进入(新加坡队)教练组,但以后可能会改变。”

  • 两名珠穆朗玛峰登山者坠亡,纪录保持者警告登山过度拥挤


    2026年5月22日 / 美国东部时间上午7:25 / 哥伦比亚广播公司新闻

    在尼泊尔南部路线登顶人数创下纪录的时段内,两名印度登山者在珠穆朗玛峰上丧生,专家警告这座世界最高峰正面临过度拥挤问题。

    “他们在高海拔下山时突发疾病。我们正在设法运回遗体,”先锋探险公司董事尼夫什·卡尔基对法新社表示。

    他确认两名死者分别是5月20日登顶的桑迪普·阿尔尔,以及5月21日登顶的阿伦·库马尔·蒂瓦里。

    尼泊尔拥有全球10座最高山峰中的8座,每年春季都会迎来数百名冒险者。

    本珠峰季已有至少五名登山者丧生,包括这两名印度人和三名尼泊尔人。本月早些时候,一名美国人和一名捷克人在马卡鲁峰遇难。

    本月早些时候第32次登顶珠峰创下纪录的尼泊尔登山家卡米·丽塔·夏尔巴于周五返回首都加德满都,期间表达了对部分登山者从业经验的担忧。

    登山者发布的照片显示,大量人员沿着固定绳索攀爬,在冰冷、缺氧的高海拔区域排队等候。

    “今年客户更多,所以比去年拥挤得多,”卡米·丽塔·夏尔巴从珠峰返回加德满都机场后对记者表示,“有关部门有必要管控登山人数。”

    “他们应该只允许合格的登山者进山——必须设定人数上限,”他对法新社说道。

    多项纪录被打破

    据旅游部门官员透露,周四从尼泊尔一侧登顶这座海拔8849米(29032英尺)喜马拉雅山峰的登山者人数创下新纪录,初步统计为275人,最终数据有待确认。

    珠峰可从尼泊尔和中国西藏北坡两条路线攀登,但中国当局今年已关闭北坡路线。

    《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》记载的单日登顶珠峰最多人数为354人,出现在2019年5月。

    尼泊尔旅游部门官员表示,最终登顶人数将在核实后统计,核实工作需要登山者所在探险公司和向导提供照片及声明。

    周五成功登顶的登山者中包括英国向导肯顿·库尔,这是他第20次登顶珠峰,刷新了他本人保持的非尼泊尔籍登山者登顶次数最多的纪录。

    登山人数众多再次引发了人们对珠峰过度拥挤的担忧——尤其是如果恶劣天气缩短登山窗口期的话。

    自今年4月春季登山季开始以来,包括向导在内已有约600人登顶珠峰。

    由于通往峰顶的关键路线上方悬挂着巨大的冰缝,今年的珠峰登山季开启时间较晚。

    登山专家经常批评尼泊尔同时放行大量人员攀登珠峰,这会在部分路段造成危险的拥堵。为此尼泊尔已实施更严格的管控措施并提高了登山费用。

    自1953年5月29日新西兰人埃德蒙·希拉里和夏尔巴向导丹增·诺尔盖首次登顶珠峰以来,已有数千人成功登顶该峰。

    2 Mount Everest climbers fall to their deaths as record-holder warns of overcrowding

    May 22, 2026 / 7:25 AM EDT / CBS News

    Two Indian climbers have died on Mount Everest during a record-breaking period of ascents via Nepal’s southern route, as experts warn of overcrowding on the world’s highest peak.

    “They fell ill while descending at high altitude. We are working out how to retrieve the bodies,” Nivesh Karki, director at Pioneer Adventures, told AFP.

    He named them as Sandeep Are, who he said summited on May 20, and Arun Kumar Tiwari, who reached the peak on May 21.

    Nepal is home to eight of the world’s 10 highest peaks and welcomes hundreds of adventurers each spring.

    At least five climbers have died during this Everest season, including the two Indians and three Nepalis. A U.S. and a Czech climber died on Mount Makalu earlier this month.

    Nepali climber Kami Rita Sherpa, who scaled Everest for a record 32nd time earlier this month, returned to the capital Kathmandu on Friday, where he expressed concern about the experience of some climbers.

    Pictures posted by climbers show a long line of people climbing up fixed ropes, queueing in the icy, low-oxygen high-altitude zones.

    “It was very crowded this year compared to last year because there was more clients,” Kami Rita Sherpa told reporters at Kathmandu airport after flying back from the mountain. “There is a need for authorities to control this number.”

    “They should let in only climbers of quality — there should be a limit,” he told AFP.

    Records tumble

    On Thursday, a record number of climbers reached the 8,849-metre (29,032-foot) Himalayan peak from the Nepali side, according to tourism officials, who gave a preliminary total of 275 pending final confirmation.

    The peak can be tackled from both Nepal and the northern face in Tibet, but Chinese authorities have closed the latter route this year.

    The Guinness Book of World Records lists the highest number to climb Everest in a single day as 354, in May 2019.

    Nepali tourism officials said the final number will be tallied after the climbs are verified, which require photographs and statements from the climber’s expedition company and guides.

    Among the successful climbers on Friday was British guide Kenton Cool, who reached the top for the 20th time — extending his own record for the most ascents of the world’s highest peak by a non-Nepali.

    The high number of climbers has rekindled concerns about overcrowding on the mountain — especially if poor weather shortens the climbing window.

    Approximately 600 people — including guides — have summited Everest since the start of this year’s spring climbing season in April.

    This year’s Everest climbing season began late because of the risk from a huge serac hanging over the key route to the summit.

    Mountaineering experts often criticize Nepal for letting many people try to scale Everest at the same time, which can produce risky congestion at some points. As a result, Nepal has imposed tighter controls and higher fees.

    Thousands of people have climbed the peak since it was first scaled on May 29, 1953, by New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Sherpa guide Tenzing Norgay.

    加利谷地铁站附近发生车祸 汽车突然闯红灯掉头后撞马赛地

    2026年5月22日 19:50 / 联合早报

    这起事故发生在新加坡视障人士协会(SAVH)和加利谷地铁站附近。 (读者提供)

    加利谷(Caldecott)地铁站附近发生车祸,一辆私召车在等待红绿灯转绿时,不知何故突然掉头后失控,冲过中央分界堤后撞上一辆红色马赛地汽车。

    这起事故发生于星期五(5月22日)傍晚约5时50分,地点在新加坡视障人士协会(SAVH)和加利谷地铁站一带。

    《联合早报》李姓读者事发时正乘搭巴士途经现场,目睹整个车祸经过。

    银色汽车冲上中央分界堤、撞毁分界堤的栏杆后,撞上正在等待红绿灯的红色汽车。(读者提供)

    根据读者提供的照片,车祸相信涉及一辆银色汽车和一辆红色马赛地汽车。

    据李姓读者描述,涉事银色汽车原本停在红绿灯前等待,但在停下数秒后,突然启动并高速掉头。“由于车辆的转弯半径大,加上车速很快,这辆车还差点撞上在路边等待过马路的行人。”

    这名读者指出,银色车辆掉头后,冲上中央分界堤,并撞毁分界堤的栏杆后,撞上正在等待红绿灯的红色汽车。“红色汽车的损毁情况看起来不算太严重,不过车内坐着一对看起来年龄稍长的夫妇,看起来受了不小的惊吓。”

    他也说,一名地铁站工作人员随后赶到现场,协助这对夫妇离开车子。

    “如果只是疏忽造成的车祸也就算了,但这辆银色汽车不仅突然闯红灯,还高速掉头,整个过程让人难以理解。”

    《联合早报》正在向新加坡警察部队和民防部队了解更多详情。

  • 刚果一处埃博拉治疗中心遭纵火,随着对疫情扩散的恐惧和愤怒情绪升级


    2026年5月22日 美国东部时间7:43 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/美联社

    刚果布尼亚—— 一名目击者和一名高级警官表示,周四,刚果东部疫情中心城镇的民众因被阻止取回一名当地男子的遗体,纵火烧毁了一处埃博拉治疗中心。随着医护人员努力控制这场健康危机的压力不断加大,民众的恐惧和愤怒情绪日益高涨。

    伦帕拉地区发生的纵火事件,反映了医护人员在遏制这种罕见埃博拉病毒时面临的挑战:他们采取的严格防疫措施可能与当地习俗发生冲突,例如葬礼仪式。这场疫情已经在该地区蔓延数周,这里不仅缺乏足够的医疗设施,还有许多民众为躲避武装冲突而流离失所。

    埃博拉死者的遗体具有极强传染性,民众在筹备葬礼、聚集举行悼念仪式时可能会造成病毒进一步传播。无论在何处,当局都会负责处理埋葬疑似埃博拉受害者的高危工作,而这往往会遭到受害者家属和亲友的抗议。

    一名通过电话向美联社报料的目击者称,伦帕拉的这家治疗中心是当地青年纵火烧毁的,这些年轻人因试图取回一名疑似死于埃博拉的朋友的遗体而情绪失控。
    “警方介入试图平息局势,但遗憾的是未能成功,”当时在现场的当地学生亚历克西斯·布拉塔说道,“年轻人最终放火烧了治疗中心。情况就是这样。”

    路透社记者拍到了治疗中心起火的画面:

    2026年5月21日,在刚果民主共和国伊图里省布尼亚郊外的伦帕拉,刚果警察在一座正在燃烧的埃博拉治疗中心旁警戒,此时各援助机构正加紧努力控制新一轮埃博拉疫情。格拉德尔·穆伊萨·姆贝雷 / 路透社

    一名美联社记者看到,民众闯入治疗中心,点燃了内部物品,还有至少一具存放在中心内的疑似埃博拉受害者遗体。救援人员乘车逃离了治疗中心。

    伊图里省公共安全部门负责人、副高级专员让·克洛德·穆肯迪表示,年轻人不了解疑似埃博拉受害者的安葬流程。
    “他的家人、朋友和其他年轻人想把他的遗体带回家举行葬礼,但当局在此次埃博拉疫情期间发布的指令非常明确,”穆肯迪说,“所有遗体都必须按照规定下葬。”

    当时在该治疗中心开展工作的人道主义组织阿尔玛(ALIMA)现场协调员哈马·阿马杜随后表示,局势已经恢复平静,救援团队将继续在该中心开展工作。

    这场突如其来的愤怒事件,凸显了刚果当局和一众援助机构在遏制疫情时面临的复杂局面。世界卫生组织已将此次疫情列为国际关注的突发公共卫生事件。

    世界卫生组织总干事谭德塞博士周五在社交媒体上表示,“刚果目前已有近750例疑似病例和177例疑似死亡病例”,邻国乌干达报告了2例确诊病例和1例死亡病例。

    但世卫组织表示,实际感染人数几乎肯定要多得多,并对病毒的传播速度表示担忧。

    非洲疾病预防控制中心总干事让·卡塞亚表示:“我们仍处于加强调查、搜寻病例的阶段。随着监测工作愈发严格,我预计病例数量还会增加。”

    世卫组织表示,疫情在全球范围内扩散的风险较低,但在区域内风险较高,疫情中心伊图里省与乌干达和南苏丹接壤。

    专家表示,及早发现病毒是挽救生命的关键,但该地区本就薄弱的医疗基础设施和监测能力,因国际援助削减进一步受损。联合国数据显示,伊图里省境内流离失所者人数超过92万。

    该地区的武装冲突进一步加剧了应对危机的难度。当地领导人表示,周二,与“伊斯兰国”有关联的武装分子在伊图里省的阿利马村发动袭击,造成至少17人死亡。

    医护人员和救援组织表示,他们迫切需要更多物资和人员来应对疫情。此外,目前尚无针对此次疫情所涉本迪布焦埃博拉毒株的可用疫苗或药物。

    一名专家本周表示,相关疫苗或药物至少还需要6至9个月才能面世。

    “当务之急是迅速行动,与社区密切合作,未来几天至关重要,”刚果国际红十字会与红新月会联合会代表团负责人阿里尔·凯斯坦说道。

    埃博拉病毒传染性极强,可通过接触呕吐物、血液、粪便或精液等体液在人际间传播。症状包括发烧、呕吐、腹泻、肌肉疼痛,有时还会出现内外出血。

    今年4月底出现首例已知死亡病例后,病毒悄然传播了数周,因为刚果卫生当局当时正在检测该国更常见的另一种埃博拉病毒。据世卫组织称,卫生官员尚未找到“零号病人”。

    世卫组织病毒性出血热专家阿娜伊斯·勒冈表示,从目前的疫情规模来看,“疫情可能在几个月前就已经开始”。

    美国政府已对过去21天内到访过刚果、乌干达或南苏丹的人员实施旅行限制:禁止外国访客入境美国,要求美国公民和永久居民前往华盛顿杜勒斯国际机场接受筛查。

    印度和非洲联盟周四表示,原定于下周在新德里举行的印非论坛峰会已推迟,原因是“非洲部分地区不断变化的卫生形势”。

    周三,刚果国家足球队取消了在首都金沙萨举行的为期三天的世界杯备战训练营和计划中的球迷告别活动,原因是埃博拉疫情。

    Ebola treatment center in Congo set on fire as fear and anger over disease’s spread grow

    May 22, 2026 7:43 AM EDT / CBS/AP

    Bunia, Congo— People set fire to an Ebola treatment center in a town at the heart of the outbreak in eastern Congo on Thursday after being stopped from retrieving the body of a local man, a witness and a senior police officer said, as fear and anger grow over a health crisis that doctors are struggling to contain it.

    The arson attack in Rwampara reflects the challenges of health workers trying to curb a rare Ebola virus by using stringent measures that might clash with local customs, such as burial rites. The disease has been spreading for weeks in a region lacking in adequate health facilities and where many people are on the move to escape armed conflicts.

    The bodies of those who die from Ebola can be highly contagious and lead to further spread when people prepare them for burial and gather for funerals. The dangerous work of burying suspected victims is being managed wherever possible by authorities, which can be met by protests from victims’ families and friends.

    The center in Rwampara was burned by local youths who became angry while trying to retrieve the body of a friend who had apparently died of Ebola, according to a witness who spoke to The Associated Press by telephone.

    “The police intervened to try to calm the situation, but unfortunately they were unsuccessful,” said Alexis Burata, a local student who said he was in the area. “The young people ended up setting fire to the center. That’s the situation.”

    The Reuters news agency captured images of a treatment center burning:

    An AP journalist saw people break into the center and set fire to objects inside and also to what appeared to be the body of at least one suspected Ebola victim that was being stored there. Aid workers fled the treatment center in vehicles.

    Deputy Senior Commissioner Jean Claude Mukendi, head of the public security department in Ituri Province, said the youths had not understood the protocols for burying a suspected Ebola victim.

    “His family, friends, and other young people wanted to take his body home for a funeral even though the instructions from the authorities during this Ebola virus outbreak are clear,” Mukendi said. “All bodies must be buried according to the regulations.”

    Hama Amadou, field coordinator for the humanitarian organization ALIMA, which had teams working at the center, said later that calm had been restored and that aid teams were continuing their work at the center.

    The flash of anger underlined the complications faced by both Congolese authorities and an array of aid agencies trying to stem an outbreak that the World Health Organization has declared a public health emergency of international concern.

    WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on social media Friday that “there are now almost 750 suspected cases and 177 suspected deaths” in Congo and two confirmed cases and one death reported” in neighboring Uganda.

    But the WHO has said the outbreak is almost certainly much larger and has also expressed concern over the speed of the spread.

    “We are still in the phase where we are intensifying the investigation, searching for cases,” said Jean Kaseya, Director-General of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “I expect the number of cases to increase as surveillance becomes more and more rigorous.”

    The risk of the outbreak spreading globally is low, the WHO has said, but high regionally with the Ituri Province at the center of the outbreak bordering Uganda and South Sudan.

    Early detection of the virus is key in saving lives, but the region’s already weak health infrastructure and surveillance capacity has been further weakened by international aid cuts, experts say. There are over 920,000 internally displaced people in Ituri Province, according to the U.N.

    Armed conflict in the region further complicates efforts to handle the crisis. Local leaders said an attack by ISIS-linked militants killed at least 17 people on Tuesday in Alima, a village in Ituri.

    Health workers and aid groups have said they are in dire need of more supplies and staff to respond. Also, there is no available vaccine or medicine for the Bundibugyo strain responsible for the outbreak.

    An expert said this week it would be at least six to nine months before one would be available.

    “The priority now is act quickly and work closely with communities, as the coming days are critical,” said Ariel Kestens, the head of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies delegation in Congo.

    Ebola is highly contagious and spreads in people through contact with bodily fluids such as vomit, blood, feces or semen. Symptoms include fever, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain and at times internal and external bleeding.

    The virus spread undetected for weeks following the first known death in late April as Congolese health authorities tested for a different Ebola virus more commonly responsible for outbreaks in the country. Health officials have not yet found “patient zero,” according to the WHO.

    The scale of the outbreak so far suggests it “started probably a couple of months ago,” said Anaïs Legand, a viral hemorrhagic fevers expert at the WHO.

    The U.S. government has placed restrictions on any travelers who have visited Congo, Uganda or South Sudan in the previous 21 days, barring foreign visitors among them from entering the U.S. and requiring U.S. citizens and permanent residents to be diverted to Washington Dulles International Airport for screening.

    美军在德克萨斯州开展现代化战场需求训练
    陆军工程人员正努力适应不断演变的现代化战场需求。在德克萨斯州胡德堡,现役、预备役和国民警卫队部队正在严苛的实战化训练中检验自身作战能力。

    美军领导层周三表示,以无人机为主导的作战模式以及乌克兰和中东地区近期冲突正在重塑美军的航空与导弹防御战略,引发了对直升机项目以及昂贵的“爱国者”拦截系统的新审视。

    此番表态正值美军提交2027财年预算申请之际,该预算大幅削减直升机采购资金:阿帕奇直升机拨款从约3.617亿美元缩减至约150万美元,黑鹰直升机拨款从约9.13亿美元缩减至约3930万美元,支奴干直升机采购拨款从约6.29亿美元缩减至约2.1亿美元,同时增加对无人机、自主系统和低成本战场技术的投资。

    此次转型不仅限于采购环节。美军此前宣布计划在2026和2027财年削减约6500个现役航空岗位,包括飞行员、机组人员和维修人员,领导层正将资源转向无人系统和无人机作战。

    目前尚不清楚此次采购削减最终是否会缩小机队规模、延长老旧飞机的服役年限,或是推迟原定的换装周期。

    美军领导层表示,推动此次变革的战场经验已经开始影响预算决策,美军正将资金从部分传统航空项目转向无人机、自主系统和低成本大规模作战系统。

    “毫无疑问,在审视整个航空装备组合时……我们正在重新评估,”陆军助理部长布伦特·英格拉哈姆周三在五角大楼媒体圆桌会议上表示。

    英格拉哈姆表示,美军正在重新评估传统载人飞机与日益能够执行直升机此前任务的大型无人系统的搭配方式。

    此次航空采购削减计划已经引发国会方面的担忧。

    在5月12日参议院军事委员会的一场听证会上,亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利警告称,美军的预算申请“一架H-64阿帕奇都未采购、一架支奴干Block II型都未采购,仅采购一架UH-60黑鹰直升机”,他认为美军在验证替代方案之前就放弃了关键作战能力。

    “仅航空领域,您部门的预算申请就削减了超过50亿美元的工业基础资金,实际上关停了所有当前的美军航空平台,”拨款委员会最高民主党议员、康涅狄格州众议员罗莎·德劳罗在5月12日众议院拨款委员会听证会上向战争部长皮特·赫格斯瑟施压道,“国防部是如何得出结论,认为削减这些美军航空平台的采购会加强而非削弱航空工业基础的?”

    赫格斯瑟承认五角大楼正在重新考虑该计划的部分内容。

    在面对有关航空削减规模的质疑后,赫格斯瑟在众议院听证会上对议员们表示:“美军转型倡议中有一些非常好的内容,但也有一些内容需要我们重新审视。”

    赫格斯瑟表示,五角大楼领导层正致力于确保美军在向更多无人系统和下一代技术转型的过程中不会出现“航空能力缺口”。

    美军领导层表示,廉价无人机的快速扩散正迫使美军重新思考其采购和列装飞机、导弹防御系统以及战场技术的方式。

    “我们知道,我们不能再继续用‘爱国者’导弹去击落廉价无人机,”英格拉哈姆说,“我们必须找到正确的成本平衡点。”

    在美国及其盟友在以色列与伊朗冲突以及更广泛的中东军事行动中消耗了大量昂贵的导弹防御拦截弹后,这种担忧变得愈发紧迫,五角大楼担心库存耗尽,以及依赖数百万美元的防御系统对抗廉价无人机和导弹的长期可持续性。

    美军官员还介绍了一个全新的盟国无人机与反无人机采购市场,旨在加快对外军售速度,并在伙伴国家之间标准化互操作系统。德里斯科尔将这项计划比作“战争版亚马逊”。

    官员们表示,该市场预计将面向全球约25个美国盟友和伙伴开放,最初将聚焦于无人机和反无人机系统,之后可能扩展到其他能力领域和国家。该平台目前仅允许盟国采购美国的军事装备。

    美国在伊朗冲突中耗尽关键导弹库存,数年重建工作迫在眉睫

    美军还启动了一项快速竞标项目,旨在开发低成本拦截弹,用于对抗无人机和巡航导弹,避免耗尽昂贵的“爱国者”导弹库存。

    英格拉哈姆表示,企业将在即将举行的行业活动后获得约120天的时间,展示从火箭发动机、导引头到完全集成的拦截弹概念等各类技术。

    “哪怕你没有全套实物……带方案来就行,”他说。

    此次转型反映了五角大楼内部日益增长的担忧:廉价无人机、自主系统和大规模生产的武器正在迅速改变现代战争的经济成本和生存假设,尤其是乌克兰和中东地区的冲突暴露了传统装甲和重型航空作战理念的漏洞。

    (安东尼·贝利/路透社独家供稿)

    美军领导层越来越多地表示,未来战争将更少依赖少量昂贵的载人平台,更多依赖大量更便宜、网络化且可快速更换的系统,这些系统能够在充斥无人机的战场上生存下来。

    陆军部长丹尼尔·德里斯科尔在圆桌会议上表示,美军正试图彻底改革被领导层视为数十年来存在缺陷的采购流程,这些流程导致美军适应快速变化的战场条件的速度过慢。

    “我们如何深入改革体系,改变那些在过去30年里导致诸多糟糕结果的失效流程?”德里斯科尔说。

    德里斯科尔表示,在过去数十年的采购失败和预算超支后,美军已经失去了国会的信任。

    “在过去30年里,美国陆军在某些方面已经失去了国会的信任,即我们能否推进大型新项目,确保它们按时、按预算完成,”他说。

    他随后援引美军现已取消的M10布克装甲车项目作为领导层试图避免的采购失败案例。

    “当我们对国会说,‘嘿,相信我们会开发新平台。这次不会像布克坦克那样了’,”德里斯科尔说。

    德里斯科尔认为,美军已经开始以大幅加快的时间框架列装新能力,这更类似于乌克兰战场上的战时适应周期,而非传统的五角大楼采购时间表。

    “‘史诗暴怒行动’启动后,我们在第5天就开始采购13000枚梅罗普斯反无人机拦截弹,”德里斯科尔说。

    “到第10天,我们已经签下了之前从未采购过的装备的合同,”他补充道,“到第20天,它们就已经以数千枚的规模运抵战区。”

    美军官员还表示,在研究了乌克兰战争期间快速整合商用和军用技术的能力后,美军正试图快速改进武器系统、传感器和战场网络之间的通信方式。

    “乌克兰人向我们展示了他们的开放式架构系统如何让几乎所有传感器和雷达之间实现信息传递,”德里斯科尔说,“这赋予了他们众多我们目前尚不具备的作战能力。”

    “此时此刻,在卡森堡,有450名开发人员和程序员正在破解我们所有装备的系统,”他补充道。

    “我谨慎乐观地认为,再过一个月左右,我们就能破解数百件装备的系统。”

    Army cuts helicopters, pushes ‘Amazon for war’ as drone combat reshapes military

    2026-05-22T05:30:09-04:00 / Fox News

    Fiscal year 2027 budget proposes steep reductions in Apache, Black Hawk and Chinook procurement while boosting drone investment

    By Morgan Phillips Fox News

    Published May 22, 2026 5:30am EDT

    Army trains in Texas for the demands of the modern battlefield

    Army engineers are trying to adapt to the evolving demands of the modern battlefield. In Fort Hood, Texas, active, reserve and National Guard Army troops put their combat abilities to the test in a rigorous, hands-on training.

    NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

    Army leaders signaled Wednesday that drone-heavy warfare and recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are reshaping the service’s aviation and missile defense strategy, driving new scrutiny of helicopter programs and costly Patriot interceptor systems.

    The comments come as the Army’s fiscal year 2027 budget request sharply cuts the funding request for helicopter procurement, including reducing Apache funding from roughly $361.7 million to about $1.5 million, Black Hawk funding from about $913 million to roughly $39.3 million and Chinook procurement from roughly $629 million to about $210 million, while increasing investment in drones, autonomy and low-cost battlefield technologies.

    The transformation push is already extending beyond procurement. The Army previously announced plans to cut roughly 6,500 active-duty aviation positions over fiscal years 2026 and 2027 — including pilots, flight crews and maintainers — as leaders shift resources toward unmanned systems and drone warfare.

    It remains unclear whether the procurement reductions ultimately will shrink aviation fleet sizes, extend the service life of aging aircraft or delay planned replacement cycles.

    Army leaders suggested the battlefield lessons driving the changes are already shaping budget decisions, as the service redirects money away from some traditional aviation programs toward drones, autonomy and low-cost mass systems.

    “Absolutely, as we look across the aviation portfolio … we’re re-looking that,” Assistant Army Secretary Brent Ingraham said during a Pentagon media roundtable Wednesday.

    Ingraham said the Army is reassessing how traditional manned aircraft fit alongside larger unmanned systems increasingly capable of missions once handled by helicopters.

    The proposed aviation cuts already have drawn concern on Capitol Hill.

    During a recent Senate Armed Services Committee hearing May 12, Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., warned that the Army’s budget request included “zero H-64 Apaches, zero Chinook Block IIs and one UH-60 Black Hawk,” arguing the service was divesting critical capabilities before validating replacements.

    “Your department’s budget request cuts over $5 billion from the industrial base in the aviation sector alone, effectively shutting down all current Army aviation platforms,” Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., top Democrat on the Appropriations Committee, pressed War Secretary Pete Hegseth during a May 12 House Appropriations hearing. “How did the department arrive at the conclusion that reducing procurement for these Army aviation platforms strengthens rather than weakens the aviation industrial base?”

    Hegseth acknowledged the Pentagon was reconsidering parts of the plan.

    “There are some very good things in the Army Transformation Initiative, and there are some things that we’ve needed to get another look at,” Hegseth told lawmakers during a House hearing after facing questions about the scale of the aviation cuts.

    Hegseth said Pentagon leaders were focused on ensuring the Army does not create “aviation capability gaps” as it transitions toward more unmanned systems and next-generation technologies.

    ‘EYES IN THE SKY’: ARMY DRONE EXPERT EXPLAINS US STRATEGY ON INNOVATION AS GLOBAL CONFLICT LOOMS

    Army leaders said the rapid spread of cheap drones is forcing the Army to rethink how it buys and fields aircraft, missile defenses and battlefield technology.

    “We know we don’t want to continue to use a Patriot missile to shoot down a cheap drone,” Ingraham said. “You’ve got to get on the right side of the cost curve.”

    The concern has become increasingly urgent after the U.S. and its allies burned through large numbers of expensive missile defense interceptors during the Israel-Iran conflict and broader Middle East operations, fueling Pentagon concerns about stockpile depletion and the long-term sustainability of relying on multimillion-dollar defensive systems against cheap drones and missiles.

    Officials also described a new allied drone and counter-drone procurement marketplace designed to speed foreign military sales and standardize interoperable systems across partner nations. Driscoll compared the effort to “an Amazon for war.”

    Officials said the marketplace is expected to become available to roughly 25 U.S. allies and partners worldwide, initially focused on drone and counter-drone systems before potentially expanding to additional capabilities and countries.

    The platform will for now only allow allies to buy U.S. capabilities.

    US DRAINS CRITICAL MISSILE STOCKPILES IN IRAN WAR AS YEARSLONG REBUILD LOOMS

    The Army also is launching a rapid competition to develop low-cost interceptors designed to counter drones and cruise missiles without exhausting multimillion-dollar Patriot missile stocks.

    Ingraham said companies will have roughly 120 days after an upcoming industry event to demonstrate technologies ranging from rocket motors and seekers to fully integrated interceptor concepts.

    “Even if you don’t have it all on the ground … bring it,” he said.

    The transformation effort reflects growing concern inside the Pentagon that cheap drones, autonomous systems and mass-produced weapons are rapidly changing the economics and survivability assumptions of modern warfare, particularly after conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East exposed vulnerabilities in traditional armored and aviation-heavy battlefield concepts.

    Army leaders increasingly suggest future wars will rely less on small numbers of expensive manned platforms and more on large quantities of cheaper, networked and rapidly replaceable systems capable of surviving in drone-saturated battlefields.

    Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll said at the roundtable that the service is attempting to overhaul what leaders view as decades of broken acquisition practices that left the Army too slow to adapt to rapidly changing battlefield conditions.

    “How do we dig down deep into the system to change the broken processes that have led to so many bad outcomes over the last 30 years?” Driscoll said.

    Driscoll said the Army had lost Congress’s trust after decades of acquisition failures and budget overruns.

    “The United States Army had in some ways lost Congress’s trust over the last 30 years that we could do big new projects, keep them on time, keep them on budget,” he said.

    He later referenced the Army’s now-canceled M10 Booker armored vehicle program as an example of the type of procurement failure leaders are trying to avoid.

    “When we go to Congress and say, ‘Hey, trust us to develop a new platform. This one will not turn out like the Booker tank,’” Driscoll said.

    Driscoll argued the Army already is trying to field new capabilities on dramatically accelerated timelines more similar to wartime adaptation cycles seen in Ukraine than traditional Pentagon acquisition schedules.

    “When Operation Epic Fury kicked off, we were able to on day five go start the process to purchase 13,000 Merops counter-drone interceptors,” Driscoll said.

    “By day 10, we had contracted for something we had never purchased before,” he added. “They were starting to flow into theater in the thousands by day 20.”

    Army officials also said the service is trying to rapidly improve how weapons systems, sensors and battlefield networks communicate with one another after studying Ukraine’s ability to quickly integrate commercial and military technologies during the war.

    “The Ukrainians were highlighting to us how their open architecture system allowed information to pass between nearly all of their sensors and radars,” Driscoll said. “That empowered so many things that they could do that we just can’t do yet.”

    “At this exact moment at Fort Carson, there are 450 developers and programmers jailbreaking all of our equipment,” he added.

    商界领袖对这位社会主义市长呼吁对富人加税感到不安
    作者:阿曼达·马西亚斯,福克斯新闻

    曼哈顿研究所专家亚当·勒霍迪表示,纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼对华尔街领袖的示好,表明他意识到,如果无法留住企业和富裕投资者,纽约就无法为进步议程提供资金。

    NEW 您现在可以收听福克斯新闻的文章了!

    社会主义者、纽约市市长佐赫兰·曼达尼在数月来抨击纽约富裕人群并推动对企业加税之后,正寻求与有权势的华尔街领袖接触。

    鉴于纽约市在美国银行业、投资和企业总部领域占据举足轻重的地位,商界领袖警告称,这座大苹果城的金融动荡可能会波及全国。

    曼达尼本周与摩根大通首席执行官杰米·戴蒙以及高盛首席执行官大卫·所罗门的会面,凸显了人们日益加剧的担忧:市长推动对富人和企业征税的举措,可能与支撑该市经济的金融行业产生冲突。

    批评人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他们认为这些会晤是这位世界最大商业和金融枢纽市长的经济议程核心处日益凸显的矛盾的一部分。

    “曼达尼政府已经意识到,他们的诸多议程都依赖于这座城市拥有成功的企业和财富创造者,”曼哈顿研究所经济政策专家亚当·勒霍迪告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

    “仅仅疏远他们无法解决纽约的任何问题,”他补充道。

    勒霍迪辩称,如果没有强劲的税收收入和健康的私营部门,纽约市无法为免费 childcare 和补贴住房等进步优先事项提供资金。他警告称,“向富人征税的策略”可能会加剧该市的经济挑战,因为这可能会抑制对纽约的投资。

    “他与他们会面是件好事,但现在他需要跟进并拿出实质性成果,”勒霍迪说。“除非他随后表示‘让我们看看我们可以采取哪些措施来降低在纽约州和纽约市的投资难度’,否则当前的向富人征税策略只会加剧问题。”

    曼达尼的示好对象也不止大型银行高管。

    这位社会主义市长此前曾因曼哈顿的顶层公寓和个人财富批评这位亿万富翁对冲基金经理,如今却主动联系城堡投资集团创始人肯·格里芬。曼达尼曾站在格里芬位于该市的价值数百万美元的房产外,宣传他对纽约市价值超过500万美元的第二套住房加税的提案。

    城堡投资集团告诉福克斯商业频道,格里芬“欢迎就能够促进该市经济增长、为所有纽约人创造更多机会的政策展开深思熟虑、严肃认真的对话”,同时警告称“鲁莽的政治闹剧毫无意义”。

    亚马逊创始人杰夫·贝佐斯周三在批评曼达尼对商界领袖的言论时支持了格里芬。这位全球第四富豪指责政客们使用“一种古老的伎俩”,“挑选一个反派并指责他人”。

    “站在肯·格里芬的房子前,把他塑造成某种反派,这是不对的,”贝佐斯告诉CNBC。“肯·格里芬不是反派,他没有伤害任何人,他没有损害纽约,事实上恰恰相反。”

    尽管贝佐斯表示,对高收入者加税的辩论是合理的,但他批评了他所说的对美国富人的“妖魔化”,并认为支出过度而非税收收入不足是美国财政问题的根源。

    这些紧张局势凸显了这座国家金融首都的市长面临的艰难平衡:华尔街和高收入纳税人贡献了纽约市很大一部分税收收入,而进步活动人士则推动更激进的财富再分配。

    传统基金会高级政策分析师妮可·休耶将与戴蒙和所罗门的会面描述为,曼达尼在发表“向富人征税”的竞选言论后,试图修复与纽约商界的紧张关系。

    她警告称,被视为敌视企业和富裕纳税人的政策可能会加速企业和资本从纽约外流,并以格里芬迁往佛罗里达州为例。

    “杰米·戴蒙和大卫·所罗门领导着美国两家最具影响力的金融机构,对金融行业和劳动力市场拥有巨大影响力,”休耶告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。“如果政策迫使大公司或富裕纳税人离开纽约市,对税收收入、就业和更广泛经济活动的影响可能会非常显著。”

    休耶补充道,“宣扬阶级战争,随后又转而讨好华尔街高管,这有可能显得是在做政治秀。”

    Mamdani’s Wall Street courtship sparks criticism of anti-billionaire agenda

    May 22, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News

    Business leaders grow uneasy with the socialist mayor’s calls for higher taxes on the wealthy

    By Amanda Macias, Fox News

    Manhattan Institute expert Adam Lehodey says NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s outreach to Wall Street leaders signals a recognition that New York cannot fund progressive priorities without keeping businesses and wealthy investors in the city.

    NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

    Socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is courting powerful Wall Street leaders after months of attacking wealthy New Yorkers and pushing for higher taxes on corporations.

    Given New York City’s outsized role in U.S. banking, investing and corporate headquarters, business leaders warn financial instability in the Big Apple could reverberate nationwide.

    Mamdani’s meetings this week with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon underscored growing concerns that the mayor’s push to tax wealthy individuals and businesses could clash with the financial sector that underpins the city’s economy.

    And critics tell Fox News Digital that they view the sit-downs as part of a growing contradiction at the center of his economic agenda in the world’s largest business and finance hub.

    “The Mamdani administration has come to recognize that so much of their agenda depends on having successful businesses and wealth creators in the city,” Manhattan Institute economic policy expert Adam Lehodey told Fox News Digital.

    “Simply alienating them isn’t going to solve any of New York’s problems,” he added.

    Lehodey argued the city cannot fund progressive priorities like free childcare and subsidized housing without strong tax revenue and a healthy private sector. He warns that a “tax-the-rich strategy” could worsen the city’s economic challenges because it might discourage investment in New York.

    “It’s a good thing that he’s meeting with them, but now he needs to follow up and deliver something substantive,” Lehodey said. “The current tax-the-rich strategy is only going to worsen the problems unless he follows up and says, ‘Let’s look at what we can do to make it easier to invest in New York State and New York City.’”

    Mamdani’s outreach has also extended beyond major banking executives.

    The socialist mayor recently reached out to Citadel founder Ken Griffin after previously criticizing the billionaire hedge fund manager over his Manhattan penthouse and personal wealth. Mamdani stood outside Griffin’s multimillion-dollar property in the city to tout his proposal for higher taxes on second homes in NYC worth more than $5 million.

    https://www.foxnews.com/video/6393868767112

    Citadel told FOX Business that Griffin “welcomes thoughtful, serious conversations about the policies that can grow the city’s economy and create more opportunity for all New Yorkers,” while cautioning that “reckless political theater serves no purpose.”

    Amazon founder Jeff Bezos supported Griffin when on Wednesday he criticized Mamdani’s rhetoric toward wealthy business leaders. The world’s fourth-richest person accused politicians of using an “age-old technique” of “picking a villain and pointing fingers.”

    FROM FREE BUSES TO CITY-OWNED GROCERY STORES, HERE ARE MAMDANI’S KEY ECONOMIC PROMISES

    “It isn’t right… to stand in front of Ken Griffin’s house and act like he is some kind of villain,” Bezos told CNBC. “Ken Griffin isn’t a villain, he hasn’t hurt anybody, he’s not hurting New York, in fact quite the opposite.”

    While Bezos said debates over raising taxes on top earners are legitimate, he criticized what he described as the “vilification” of wealthy Americans and argued that overspending — not insufficient tax revenue — is the root of the nation’s fiscal problems.

    The tensions underscore the difficult balancing act facing the mayor of the nation’s financial capital: Wall Street and high-income taxpayers generate a major share of New York City’s tax revenue, even as progressive activists push for a more aggressive redistribution of wealth.

    Nicole Huyer, a senior policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation, characterized the meetings with Dimon and Solomon as an effort to repair strained ties with New York’s business community after Mamdani’s “tax the rich” campaign rhetoric.

    She cautioned that policies perceived as hostile to corporations and wealthy taxpayers could accelerate corporate and capital flight from New York, pointing to Griffin’s relocation to Florida as one example.

    “Jamie Dimon and David Solomon lead two of the nation’s most influential financial institutions and have enormous influence over the financial sector and labor market,” Huyer told Fox News Digital. “If policies drive major firms or wealthy taxpayers out of New York City, the impact on tax revenue, jobs and broader economic activity could be significant.”

    Huyer added that “pitching class warfare and then pivoting to court Wall Street executives risks appearing politically performative.”

    阅读完整简历

    为全美约700家电台提供新闻节目的CBS新闻广播电台,将在运营近一个世纪后,于周五晚间停播。

    这家声名远扬的电台服务于1927年9月上线,在其数十年的运营历程中,曾是爱德华·R·默罗、罗伯特·特劳特、道格拉斯·爱德华兹、查尔斯·奥斯古德、丹·拉瑟等众多家喻户晓且值得信赖的广播传奇人物的主场。

    “它已经存在了很长时间。我们正在失去的,其实是一家美国标志性机构,”CBS《世界新闻综述》的长期主播史蒂夫·卡森说道。

    “CBS广播电台理应被铭记,它成为了全国性的标志性机构,对报纸之外的新闻行业发展至关重要,”拉瑟近日在接受《CBS周日早晨》采访时表示,“多年来,它一直是维系这个国家的重要组成部分,我认为这绝非微不足道的一部分。”

    关停这家广播新闻服务的决定于今年3月公布,公司将其归因于“充满挑战的经济现实”。

    时任CBS新闻总裁汤姆·西布罗斯基和主编巴里·韦斯在当时的一份声明中,致敬了CBS新闻广播电台自广播时代开启以来,在报道全球重大事件中发挥的历史性作用。

    “近百年来,CBS新闻广播电台为全美带来原创报道——从爱德华·R·默罗在伦敦发回的二战报道,到如今每日的白宫动态更新,”他们说道,“我们的招牌节目《世界新闻综述》仍是全美播出时间最长的新闻广播。CBS新闻广播电台是我们自1927年以来所有发展的根基。”

    CBS新闻广播电台开播之时,距离被广泛认可的首次商业广播仅过去了七年。

    1938年,CBS新闻广播电台首次转播了棒球世界大赛,1939年又播出了对贝比·鲁斯的采访。

    CBS新闻广播电台为数百万美国人带来了诸多重大事件的报道,包括珍珠港遇袭、诺曼底登陆、伊丽莎白二世女王的加冕典礼、1962年古巴导弹危机、1977年纽约大停电、海湾战争、9·11恐怖袭击以及2003年哥伦比亚号航天飞机失事事件。

    默罗的声音首次出现在广播中是在1938年。据《CBS周日早晨》近日回顾,当时他正在欧洲为电台招募主播,但在目睹希特勒的危险性后,他发回了一则报道。

    “我是爱德华·默罗,从维也纳发回报道。现在差不多是凌晨2点30分,希特勒先生尚未抵达。似乎没人知道他具体何时会到,但大多数人预计他会在明天上午10点之后的某个时间到场,”默罗在那篇报道中说道。

    此后,他在闪电战期间从伦敦屋顶发回报道,还在德军撤离后从布痕瓦尔德集中营发回现场消息。

    “我不是在寻找形容词来让报道听起来富有戏剧性,”他在一则战时报道中说道,“我只是在讲述我亲眼所见的一切。”

    这位传奇播音员于1988年入选广播名人堂。

    CBS节目主持人兼记者艾莉森·凯斯曾在9·11事件期间从曼哈顿下城报道新闻。

    “人们需要知道当天发生了什么,”凯斯说道,“实时、无滤镜、不带政治偏见地告诉大家,这里正在发生什么。”

    在CBS新闻广播电台停播的最后几日里,她和同事们回顾了电台的遗产。

    “它在新闻领域留下了巨大的空白,”凯斯说道,“我想让听众们知道,能为这个了不起的地方工作,能和这些了不起的同事共事,我是多么自豪和荣幸。”

    CBS News Radio, which provides news programming to an estimated 700 stations spanning the United States, will sign off the air Friday night after nearly a century of broadcasting.

    The storied service, launched in September 1927, was home to broadcast legends Edward R. Murrow, Robert Trout, Douglas Edwards, Charles Osgood, Dan Rather and many other familiar and trusted voices over its decades in operation.

    “It’s been around for a long time. Really, an American institution is what we’re losing here,” said Steve Kathan, the longtime anchor of the CBS World News Roundup.

    “CBS Radio should be remembered for becoming a national institution very important to the development of news other than newspapers,” Rather recently told “CBS Sunday Morning.” “It, for many, many years, was a part, and I would argue not a small part, of what held the country together.”

    The decision to shutter the radio news service was announced in March, with the company citing “challenging economic realities.”

    In a statement at the time, CBS News President Tom Cibrowski and Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss paid tribute to the historic role of CBS News Radio in covering major events worldwide since the dawn of the broadcasting era.

    “For nearly 100 years, CBS News Radio has delivered original reporting to the nation — from Edward R. Murrow’s World War II reports in London to today’s daily White House updates,” they said. “Our signature broadcast, ‘World News Roundup,’ remains the longest-running newscast in the country. CBS News Radio served as the foundation for everything we have built since 1927.”

    CBS News Radio first hit the airwaves just seven years after what’s been widely recognized as the first commercial radio broadcast.

    The first broadcast of baseball’s World Series could be heard on CBS News Radio in 1938, and in 1939 it aired an interview with Babe Ruth.

    CBS News Radio brought millions of Americans coverage of major events including the attack on Pearl Harbor and the D-Day invasion, Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, the New York City blackout of 1977, the Gulf War, the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster.

    Murrow’s voice was first heard on air in 1938. As “CBS Sunday Morning” recently recounted, he was in Europe to recruit voices for radio, but after observing how dangerous Hitler was, he sent back a broadcast.

    “This is Edward Murrow speaking from Vienna. It’s now nearly 2:30 in the morning, and Herr Hitler has not yet arrived. No one seems to know just when he will get here. But most people expect him sometime after 10 o’clock tomorrow morning,” Murrow said in that report.

    He later provided rooftop reports in London during the Blitz and from the Buchenwald concentration camp after the Germans had fled.

    “I’m not searching for adjectives to make this sound dramatic,” he said in one wartime report. “I’m just telling you what I’ve seen.”

    The legendary broadcaster was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1988.

    CBS program host and correspondent Allison Keyes covered the news from Lower Manhattan on 9/11.

    “People needed to know what was going on that day,” Keyes said, “in real time, no filter, no politics. Here’s what’s happening.”

    As the final days of CBS News Radio approached, she and her coleagues reflected on its legacy.

    “It leaves a huge gap in the field of news,” Keys said. “I want the listeners to know how proud and honored I am to have worked for this amazing place, with these amazing people.”

    不愿削弱对华竞争优势 特朗普暂缓签署国内AI行政令

    2026年5月22日 17:33 / 联合早报

    2025年7月23日,美国总统特朗普在华盛顿举行的“赢得人工智能竞赛”(Winning the AI Race)峰会上发表讲话。 (路透社)

    美国总统特朗普称,他不喜欢一项有关人工智能行政命令中的某些内容,且不希望采取任何可能削弱美国在与中国竞争中优势的措施,因此决定暂缓签署这项行政命令。

    特朗普原计划于当地时间星期四(5月22日)下午,在一场有多家AI公司首席执行官出席的仪式上签署这项命令。

    路透社报道,包括《华盛顿邮报》在内的多家美国媒体称,美国政府是在世界首富马斯克、Meta创始人兼总裁扎克伯格及特朗普前AI顾问萨克斯(David Sacks)施压后,相关计划才被搁置。

    不过马斯克在社媒平台X平台回应时说:“这是假的。”他还说:“我至今仍不知道那份行政命令里写了什么,而且总统是在决定不签署(行政令)后才与我交谈的。”

    报道称,特朗普在白宫对媒体说,他认为这项行政令会造成阻碍。“我们领先中国,也领先所有人,我不想做任何可能妨碍这种优势的事情。”

    两名消息人士星期三(20日)向路透社透露,这项行政令原拟建立一套自愿性框架,要求AI开发商在向公众发布先进AI模型之前,先与美国政府沟通。

    特朗普并未说明他反对行政令中的哪些具体内容。

    科技行业人士担忧,如果相关条例拖慢新模型推出速度,或迫使AI企业为了回应安全顾虑而调整模型表现,可能损害行业利润。
