    消息：欧盟拟放宽财政限制 允许成员国推出能源补助措施

    2026年6月2日 17:55 / 联合早报

    计划一旦落实将可让各成员国政府为家庭和商家推出紧急能源补助时不会受限于欧盟的赤字顶限条规，免于被欧盟罚款的风险。 （法新社）

    知情人士透露，欧盟委员会正准备放宽财政限制，让成员国可推出能源相关的暂时性支出，舒缓中东冲突造成的能源价格高涨压力。

    《金融时报》星期二（6月2日）引述欧盟官员报道，布鲁塞尔正在探讨计划，让成员国可将相当于国内生产总值（GDP）0.3%的开支用于能源相关措施，这部分开支不算在欧盟规定的3%财政赤字顶限内。

    拟议中的计划一旦落实将可让各成员国政府为家庭和商家推出紧急能源补助时不会受限于欧盟的赤字顶限条规，免于被欧盟罚款的风险。

    豁免措施一旦落实，也将是欧盟不到两年内第二度调整它的财政框架。去年，布鲁塞尔启动了一个“脱身条款”，允许成员国每年可将相当于GDP1.5%的开支用于国防，最多可达四年，而不须担心会触犯欧盟的财政条规，作为欧洲各国重建军备的整体措施之一。

    欧盟官员透露，最新计划的0.3%能源缓冲将属于1.5%国防开支豁免比率的一部分。

  • 四世纪硬币与神秘铭文在巴黎圣母院地下出土：“世纪大考古”


    2026年6月2日 美国东部时间上午6:44 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/美联社

    夏日骄阳下，一队游客正排队等候攀爬巴黎圣母院，一睹其滴水兽的风采。

    在他们脚下四米（13英尺）处，一支考古队正朝着相反方向挖掘——一路向下，穿越时空，回到两千年前的罗马时期巴黎。

    2019年，一场大火让巴黎圣母院的尖塔轰然倒塌，全球为之瞩目。这座大教堂已于2024年末完成重建并重新开放，如今巴黎希望通过种植树木、打造遮阳区域，让教堂前灼热空旷的广场变得更宜人。

    但在这样一座历史悠久的城市，动工前必须先对地下区域进行考古发掘，以防施工过程中损毁地下文物。

    因此，圣母院前广场的一部分被开辟为考古发掘现场——一处由围栏环绕、架有木质栈道的露天坑址，距离游客排队的区域仅几步之遥。

    现代版《达·芬奇密码》

    法国媒体将其称为“世纪大考古”。

    “这对我们而言是一次难得的机会，能够开展切实影响巴黎历史研究的工作，”巴黎考古部门的文物保护专家吕西·阿尔滕堡在接受美联社采访时表示。

    目前已出土的数百件文物中包括：一枚铸有君士坦丁大帝头像的四世纪硬币，以及多片内部带有专家尚未破译标记的中世纪陶器碎片——宛如现代版《达·芬奇密码》。

    2026年6月1日周一，巴黎圣母院外部考古发掘中出土的一件带有铭文的文物碎片正在被拍摄。美联社记者尼古拉·加里加 摄

    “这让圣母院重新焕发了生机，”34岁的艾米丽·卡特说道，她来自曼彻斯特，正带着两个孩子排队等候。“我们来这里是为了参观大教堂，却意外发现脚下还藏着另一座城市。这几乎更令人动容。”

    第一批遗迹在地下50厘米（20英寸）处便已出现；而在地下4米（13英尺）处，考古队仍在不断挖掘出历史遗物。有时他们一天就能装满15个板条箱——这些文物都来自数十年来未被翻动过的土层。

    古城考古团队全程监控发掘

    每一座古城都面临着这样的现实：历史并非藏在街对面的博物馆里，而是就在街道下方。

    城市不断发展，每个时代都在前代的废墟之上重建，地面也随之抬升：在罗马，自公元5世纪帝国灭亡以来，地面已升高了约9米（30英尺）。

    2004年雅典为修建地铁举办奥运会时，启动了希腊历史上规模最大的考古发掘工作，出土了数万件文物，如今这些文物就在地铁车站内展出。巴黎也不例外。

    所有这些文物都来自塞纳河中的西岱岛——巴黎的发源地。

    几个世纪后，圣母院就建在这片土地上。主持此次发掘的考古学家卡米尔·科隆纳表示，1163年圣母院动工之时，整个广场都遍布中世纪房屋，仅有一条街道贯穿其中。

    2026年6月1日周一，考古学家吕西·阿尔滕堡展示在巴黎圣母院外部考古发掘中出土的一枚硬币。美联社记者尼古拉·加里加 摄

    向下挖掘时，她的团队已经找到了当时的地窖，也由此抵达了地窖所属的历史时期。

    其下方是公元6至10世纪墨洛温王朝和加洛林王朝时期的谷物坑；再往下，土层更深、颜色更深，是公元4至5世纪的密集罗马居民区。

    四米（13英尺）的土层中堆叠着二十个世纪的历史——差不多相当于两个半拿破仑·波拿巴叠起来的高度。

    “在这里你能看到不同的地层：中世纪巴黎、罗马时期巴黎，甚至更早的时期，”22岁的考古学学生亚斯敏·贝纳利在围栏外围观时说道。“这让这座城市不再像一张明信片，更像是一个仍在不断被发现的生命体。”

    硬币、陶器与神秘标记

    此次发掘中最丰富的收获来自最肮脏的区域：中世纪房屋下方的深坑，也就是曾被当作垃圾场的老式厕所。

    考古队从这里不断发掘出完整的陶罐和酒杯——这些器物在数百年前被丢弃，却依然完好无损， alongside broken plates and animal bones.
    “能找到完整的陶器非常罕见，”该部门的考古学家瓦伦蒂娜·布勒鲁说道。

    2026年6月1日周一，考古学家瓦伦蒂娜·布勒鲁展示在巴黎圣母院外部考古发掘中出土的陶瓷碎片。美联社记者尼古拉·加里加 摄

    这里松软的废弃物为器物提供了保护，数百年后它们得以奇迹般地完整出土。

    随后，一些令专家困惑的器物被陆续发现。文物保护人员在清理看似普通的中世纪陶器时，发现其内部带有淡淡的红色字迹——一片又一片陶片上都有着相同的神秘标记。

    这些标记的含义至今尚未破译。

    布勒鲁表示，在她从圣母院遗址清理出的所有文物中，这些陶器是最“令人惊叹”的。

    硬币有助于确定地层年代

    出土的硬币呈黑色圆盘状，已被锈蚀侵蚀。但通过X射线扫描后，硬币上的头像重现：正是公元3世纪初统治罗马的君士坦丁大帝。

    阿尔滕堡表示，这类文物“对于确定地下地层的年代具有不可估量的价值”。

    考古学家最为珍视的是罗马时期的出土文物——这些是最深处、最古老，也是最鲜为人知的遗物。在罗马时代，这座城镇被称为卢泰提亚，其市中心位于河对岸的左岸。

    随着罗马帝国崩溃，人们退守到西岱岛——也就是后来圣母院的所在地——并用从更早建筑上拆下的石块加固了该岛。科隆纳的团队就找到了相关证据：发掘中出土了一块罗马门槛石，它来自一座更大的建筑，被搬运至此并倒置后用作铺路石。

    “一座巨大的考古宝库”

    每件出土文物都会被运离坑址，向北送往巴黎的考古中心——科隆纳称之为“一座巨大的考古宝库”，也就是巴黎的宝藏仓库。

    对考古学家而言，圣母院的发掘工作是一次难得的机遇。在法国，和其他地方一样，考古工作仅能在即将动工的建筑场地开展——这有点像工业采石场的工人偶尔会发掘出恐龙化石。

    “这次发掘能实现，完全是因为巴黎市政府想要美化这片区域，”阿尔滕堡说道。

    新广场预计将于2028年基本完工：将打造一片类似林间空地的区域，种植160棵新树，并在石材表面铺设一层薄水膜，在夏季为广场降温——这也是巴黎应对全球变暖导致的夏季持续高温的举措之一。

    如今在骄阳下排队等候参观滴水兽的游客，再过几个夏天就能在树荫下排队了。

    原有的地下停车场将重新开放为游客中心，可俯瞰塞纳河。

    在那之前，圣母院考古团队希望挖掘得更深——穿过罗马时期地层，探寻更早的居民，也就是为这座城市赋予最初名字的高卢人。

    “我们希望能够回溯到比以往任何时候都更久远的时代，”阿尔滕堡说道。

    “保存完好”的古代墓葬

    2022年，考古学家在大教堂内发掘出数座墓葬和一具可能可追溯至14世纪的石棺。

    法国文化部当时表示，其中一座“保存完好的人形铅质石棺”尤为引人注目。

    这具棺材可能是为“一位高级权贵”打造的，其年代大概率可追溯至1300年代——也就是大教堂建成后的那个世纪。

    除墓葬外，考古人员还在大教堂当前地板层下方发现了彩绘雕塑残件，经确认属于13世纪原始的圣坛屏风——这是分隔祭坛区与 nave 的建筑构件。

    2023年，科学家证实巴黎圣母院是首座在建造过程中广泛使用铁订书钉的哥特式大教堂。2019年的大火暴露了原本用于固定教堂石块的铁订书钉：一部分留在了建筑框架中，另一部分在烈火中燃烧后坠落到地面。

    Fourth-century coin and mysterious inscriptions found under Notre Dame cathedral: “Dig of the century”

    June 2, 2026 6:44 AM EDT / CBS/AP

    Wilting in the summer sun, a line of tourists waits to climb Notre Dame cathedral and meet its gargoyles.

    Four meters (13 feet) beneath them, a team of archaeologists is digging the other way – straight down and back in time, to Roman Paris 2,000 years ago.

    In 2019, fire brought Notre Dame’s spire crashing down as the world watched. The cathedral was rebuilt and reopened in late 2024, and now Paris wants to soften the hot, bare square in front of it with trees and shade.

    But in a city this old, the soil cannot be turned until what lies beneath it is excavated, in case it is damaged during works.

    So a slice of Notre Dame’s forecourt has become an excavation site – an open pit ringed by barriers and crossed by a wooden walkway, a few steps from the line-up.

    A modern Da Vinci Code

    French media have dubbed it the “dig of the century.”

    “It’s a rare opportunity for us to work on something that’s tangibly going to make a difference to the history of Paris,” Lucie Altenburg, a conservator with the Paris archaeology unit, told The Associated Press.

    Among the hundreds of objects already found: a fourth-century coin stamped with the face of the Emperor Constantine, and shards of medieval pottery painted on the inside with marks no expert has yet deciphered — like a modern Da Vinci Code.

    “It makes Notre Dame feel alive again,” said Emily Carter, 34, a tourist from Manchester waiting in line with her two children. “You come to see the cathedral, then realize there’s another city under your feet. That’s almost more moving.”

    The first traces appear 50 centimeters (20 inches) down; 4 meters (13 feet) lower, the team is still pulling up the past. Some days they fill 15 crates – from ground that has lain untouched for decades.

    Ancient cities have archaeologists monitoring digs

    This is the bargain in every old city: The past is not in a museum down the street – it is under the street.

    Cities rise. Each age builds on the rubble of the last, and the ground climbs with it; in Rome, it has risen about 9 meters (30 feet) since the empire fell in the fifth century AD.

    When Athens built its metro for the 2004 Olympics, it set off the largest excavation in Greek history and turned up tens of thousands of objects, now shown in the stations themselves. Paris is no different.

    It all comes from the island in the Seine, the Ile de la Cite, where Paris began.

    Centuries later, Notre Dame rose on the same ground.

    At the cathedral’s birth in 1163, the entire square was packed with medieval houses, split by a single street, said Camille Colonna, the archaeologist leading the dig.

    Digging down, her team has reached their cellars – and therefore also the time in history they represent.

    Below them lie Merovingian and Carolingian grain pits, from the sixth to the 10th centuries; below those, darker and deeper still, a dense Roman quarter from the fourth and fifth centuries.

    Twenty centuries are stacked in 4 meters (13 feet) of earth – or about the height of two-and-a-half Napoleon Bonapartes standing on top of one another.

    “Here you can see the layers – medieval Paris, Roman Paris, maybe even before that,” said Yasmine Benali, 22, an archaeology student watching from behind the barriers. “It makes the city feel less like a postcard and more like something still being discovered.”

    Coins, ceramics and mysterious markings

    The richest finds here come from the foulest place: the deep pits beneath the medieval houses, old latrines that doubled as rubbish dumps.

    Out of them the team keeps lifting whole jugs and cups – thrown away centuries ago, yet still intact – among the broken plates and animal bones.

    It’s “rare to find complete ceramics,” said Valentine Breloux, an archaeologist with the unit.

    Here the soft waste cushioned them, and centuries later they miraculously came up whole.

    Then some other objects came that confounded experts. As conservators cleaned what looked like ordinary medieval pottery, they found faint reddish writing painted on the inside – the same mysterious markings on shard after shard.

    What they mean has yet to be deciphered.

    Of everything she has cleaned from Notre Dame, Breloux said, these are the most “astonishing.”

    Coins can help date the layers

    The coins came up as black discs, eaten by rust. But under an X-ray, a face returned: it was Constantine, the Roman emperor who ruled in the early 300s AD.

    Such objects also “can be invaluable in giving us the date of the (underground) layer,” Altenburg said.

    The Roman finds are the ones the archaeologists value most – the deepest, oldest and least understood. In Roman times, the town was called Lutetia, and its center lay across the river, on the Left Bank.

    As the Roman empire collapsed, people pulled back to the Ile de la Cite, where Notre Dame would later rise, and fortified the island with walls of stone taken from earlier buildings.

    Colonna’s team found some proof: a Roman doorstep found in the dig, taken from a much bigger building, carried over, turned upside down, and laid in a road as paving.

    “A huge archaeological store”

    Every find leaves the pit and travels north, to the city’s archaeology center – what Colonna calls “a huge archaeological store,” a treasure house of Paris.

    For archaeologists, the cathedral dig is a rare treat. In France, like elsewhere, they work only where building work is about to begin – a bit like how industrial quarry workers end up unearthing dinosaur remains.

    “This only happens because the city of Paris decided it wanted to beautify the area,” Altenburg said.

    The new square should be mostly finished by 2028: a kind of woodland clearing, with 160 new trees and a thin film of water sliding over the stone to cool it in summer – part of how Paris is bracing for ever hotter summers induced by global warming.

    The tourists who now wait in the bare sun beneath the gargoyles will, in a few summers, line up in the shade.

    The old underground parking lot will reopen as a visitor center looking onto the Seine.

    Until then, the Notre Dame team wants to go deeper still – past the Romans, toward whoever came before them, the Gauls who gave the city its first name.

    “The hope is that we are able to go back in time even further than we’ve ever been before,” Altenburg said.

    “Completely preserved” ancient tombs

    In 2022, several tombs and a sarcophagus likely dating from the 14th century were uncovered by archaeologists at the cathedral.

    Among the tombs was the “completely preserved, human-shaped sarcophagus made of lead,” France’s culture ministry said at the time.

    The coffin might have been made for “a senior dignitary” and likely dated from the 1300s — the century following the cathedral’s construction.

    As well as the tombs, elements of painted sculptures were found just beneath the current floor level of the cathedral, identified as parts of the original 13th-century rood screen — an architectural element separating the altar area from the nave.

    In 2023, scientists confirmed that Notre Dame was the first Gothic cathedral in which iron staples were used extensively throughout construction. The 2019 fire exposed iron staples used to hold the cathedral’s stone blocks together. Some appeared in the frame of the building, others fell smoldering to the ground in the heat of the blaze.

  • 杰克·塔珀：吉尔·拜登眼中虽不盲目却过于乐观的《东翼视角》


    2026-06-02T10:00:07.806Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/02/politics/jill-biden-book-jake-tapper

    在她的新回忆录中，前第一夫人吉尔·拜登为丈夫在2024年竞选期间的精神健康状况辩护。
    但杰克·塔珀表示，她的叙述遗漏了民主党内部人士亲眼目睹的乔·拜登认知能力下降的关键细节。
    塔珀称，她未能充分回应有关他能否竞选总统、能否赢得竞选以及能否履行总统职责的质疑。

    AI生成的摘要已由CNN编辑审核。

    “如果你了解乔·拜登，你就会知道，如果他真的到了无法胜任工作的地步，他会主动辞职的，”前第一夫人吉尔·拜登在她的新回忆录《东翼视角》中写道。“当然，如果他出现认知障碍，我会毫不犹豫地说出来。他的幕僚们也会毫不犹豫地说出来。但在2024年夏天，他远未到那个地步。”

    这番话即便不完全是彻头彻尾的谎言，也让人很难相信。

    首先，这个国家的历史上不乏这样的例子：那些自认为无私且有自知之明的政客拒绝放弃权力，前总统乔·拜登就是最突出的一例。

    其次，拜登最亲密的顾问——被拜登的低级幕僚戏称为“政治局”——时至今日仍坚称，他本可以在2024年大选中击败唐纳德·特朗普，而且即便在当下，他也有能力担任总统。

    但上述段落中最刺眼的一点是，吉尔·拜登既想让你相信她的正直，又在隐晦地——或许是下意识地——承认事情另有隐情。

    为何特意强调“在2024年夏天，他远未到那个地步”？

    那2024年秋季呢？2025年呢？如今呢？

    在谈及丈夫能挺过人生诸多磨难的可敬之处时，吉尔·拜登引用了欧内斯特·海明威的话：“‘世界会击碎每一个人，之后许多人会在破碎之处变得更强。’……我相信这句话适用于乔，”她写道。“尽管经历了那么多，他依然更强大。”

    耐人寻味的是，拜登夫人没有引用海明威这句关于死亡和人生终点的完整引言。出自《永别了，武器》的完整引言续道：“但那些不肯被击碎的人，会被它杀死。它公平地杀死最善良、最温柔、最勇敢的人。如果你不属于这些人，你可以肯定，它也会杀死你，只是不会太着急。”

    当然，这段不完整的引言还不是这位第一夫人在书中遗漏的最主要内容。

    2024年11月大选结束后，Axios记者亚历克斯·汤普森和我采访了200多名民主党内部人士、官员、竞选团队工作人员等所有支持拜登的人，想弄清楚2024年6月27日辩论舞台上我们看到的场景，有多少是此前在幕后就已经出现过的。答案是：相当多。我们的著作《原罪》详细描述了拜登的精神敏锐度问题，这些问题在2023年和2024年变得更加严重，但在此之前就已经初现端倪。这些内容，当然在她的书中只字未提。

    她在书中将讨论丈夫健康状况的部分集中在他2020年决定竞选总统的内容上。“在我看来，乔确实在变老，但他没有表现出痴呆或衰老的迹象，”她写道。“乔还是我一直认识的那个男人。”

    再说一次，这是在讨论他2020年竞选时的情况。不是2024年。

    在这段表述之后，她一笔带过了2023年决定寻求连任的决定。在一段轶事之后，一名访客看到拜登——在2019年或2020年——“跳上他那辆1967年款的绿色科尔维特黄貂鱼，发动引擎，在高速公路上呼啸而过”（“那绝对不是他们在电视上塑造的那个人，”这位不愿具名的访客赞叹道），她突然跳到了2024年：

    “即便在竞选前的几年里他放慢了脚步，但我打心底里相信，他依然足够优秀、足够睿智、有足够的能力治理国家，”她写道。“他从未动摇过自己的价值观，那些我从小就熟悉的价值观。我相信，如果他的健康状况恶化到无法履职的地步，他会谦逊地承认这一点。”

    这些话之间的空隙，足够一辆1967年款科尔维特黄貂鱼疾驰而过。

    问题从来都不是他是否优秀、是否睿智、是否持有相同的价值观。而是他能否竞选总统、能否赢得竞选以及能否履行总统职责。

    她对此能给出的最高评价也只是“有足够的能力”。

    “有足够的能力”？

    还请注意，她将判断他是否无法胜任工作的权力完全交给了他本人。仿佛一个精神日渐衰退的人必然能够胜任这项任务。

    因此，她为自己的决定辩护道：“为了国家的利益，我知道，至少我宁愿乔获得第二个任期，也不愿他不参选。”

    再说一次，这根本不是问题的关键。

    “考虑到乔的对手肯定会做的那些可怕的事情，这个选择似乎显而易见，”她写道。

    但当时的选择并非特朗普对阵拜登。而是特朗普对阵哪位民主党人才是最佳选择。

    “我认为乔远比他的对手优秀——顺便说一句，那位对手只比乔小三岁，”她写道。

    这和年龄无关。

    在她自己的著作《107天》中，前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯这样描述拜登总统寻求连任的决定：“‘这是乔和吉尔的决定。’我们都像念经一样重复着这句话，仿佛都被催眠了……这太鲁莽了。风险实在太高了。这不该由个人的自负、个人的野心来决定。”

    但在吉尔·拜登的叙述中，2023年“民主党最优秀的智囊团”都认为除了乔·拜登之外，没有人能击败特朗普，“于是他们恳求他参选”。

    他们确实这么做了？是谁？哪些民主党最优秀的智囊团恳求他参选？

    对吉尔·拜登这本书最善意的解读，尤其是那些涉及她丈夫衰老的部分，是她多年来难以接受发生在他身上的事情。另一种不那么宽容的解读是，她一直在纵容这一切，如今正试图为我们所有人亲眼所见的情况寻找借口，同时还时不时暗示，或许连她自己都不愿承认的隐情还有更多。

    “吉尔·拜登唯一该说的就是‘我很抱歉’：民主党高层对这位前第一夫人近日的言论做出回应

    时长：4:02 • 来源：CNN

    当然，她反复重申了许多民主党在2024年6月那场糟糕且令人不安的辩论之前提出的论调——而当时他们未能立即证明那场辩论只是一次反常表现——这些言论暴露出的情况远比此前承认的要严重得多。

    她谈到自己在2024年2月向选民的游说：“他已经81岁了，但他一小时完成的工作量比大多数人一天完成的还要多。”嗯，没错，鉴于总统职位的权力和职责，这对所有总统来说都是事实。但这并没有提及他偏好的缩短日程安排——只要可能，就尽量安排在上午10点到下午4点——或是他无法全力开展竞选活动的情况。

    （在她的书中，卡玛拉·哈里斯写道：“他的核心圈子，那些最了解他的人，本应意识到任何竞选活动都超出了他的能力范围，而竞选的艰辛会让他持续、日益、不可避免地感到疲惫不堪。”）

    在辩论开始前，拜登夫人说：“乔看起来很疲惫——过度疲惫。他太拼命了，行程安排得太多了。”没错，我们都知道。这是美国总统工作的一部分。她反复说他身体不适。然后就是那场辩论。还有第一个糟糕透顶的回答。

    “他是不是短路了？我心想。是中风了吗？感觉我们像是在看着一个我们熟悉的男人的AI全息影像，而这个影像正在卡顿。他是不是被下药了？天啊——看电视的人会不会以为他一直都是这样？……他是不是突发医疗急症了？”

    随后她写道：

    “乔在辩论过程中确实有所好转，但还不足以让我或任何观众安心，让他们觉得他没事。他显然状态不佳。那到底是怎么了？没有任何解释能说明我看到的情况。我这辈子从未在他脸上见过那样的表情。”

    而对她来说，这个谜团至今未解：

    “时至今日，我仍然不知道发生了什么。为什么他说话语无伦次？这对我来说无法解释……他是不是在飞机上为了治咳嗽吃了什么，或是在酒店为了睡觉吃了什么——可待因止咳糖浆还是安必恩？我一直在竞选活动中，没有和他在一起，所以我一无所知。我只希望我能找到答案。”

    这本书开篇时，这位前第一夫人指责白宫医生没有在任期间就检测出拜登总统目前正严重困扰其身体的IV期癌症。

    2025年，在特拉华州的海滩上，一名女子对这位前总统说：“我是一名医生。你的医生怎么没早点查出癌症？”

    吉尔·拜登给出的回应是，考虑到美国男性的预期寿命为76岁，美国泌尿协会不建议70岁以上的男性进行常规前列腺特异性抗原筛查。但这一说法站不住脚，因为拜登在2018年就年满76岁了，比他当选总统早了两年，而这也恰恰是他本应被列为例外情况的原因。

    这位第一夫人花了不少篇幅思考丈夫为何没有接受PSA检测，但似乎仍然不愿审视或坦诚对待我们所有人在2024年6月27日晚直播中亲眼目睹的另一个健康问题。

    Jake Tapper: Jill Biden’s rosy if not blindfolded ‘View from the East Wing’

    2026-06-02T10:00:07.806Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/02/politics/jill-biden-book-jake-tapper

    In her new memoir, former First Lady Jill Biden defends her husband’s mental fitness during the 2024 campaign.
    But Jake Tapper says her account omits key details about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline witnessed by Democratic insiders.
    Tapper says she failed to adequately grapple with questions about his ability to run for president, to win the campaign, and to serve as president.

    AI-generated summary was reviewed by a CNN editor.

    “If you knew Joe Biden well, you’d know that if he actually got to the point where he wasn’t capable of doing the job, he would step down,” former first lady Jill Biden writes in her new memoir “View from the East Wing.” “Certainly, if he exhibited cognitive impairment, I would not hesitate to say so. His staff would not hesitate to say so. But he was nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024.”

    All of that is very difficult to believe, if not just downright false.

    First of all, this nation’s history is full of examples of politicians who considered themselves selfless and self-aware who refused to give up power, former President Joe Biden just being the most glaring example.

    Second, Biden’s closest advisers, nicknamed the Politburo by lower-level Biden aides, are to this day insisting he could have beaten Donald Trump in the 2024 election, and is capable at this very moment of serving as president.

    But most glaring in the above paragraph is Jill Biden’s desire to have you believe in her integrity while also subtly — perhaps subconsciously — acknowledging that there’s more going on.

    Why the specific assertion that he was “nowhere near that point in the summer of 2024”?

    How about the fall of 2024? How about 2025? How about today?

    Discussing the admirable ability of her husband to survive any number of horrors life has thrown his way, Jill Biden quotes Ernest Hemingway: “‘The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places.’… I believed that was true of Joe,” she writes. “For all he’d been through, he was stronger.”

    It is telling that Mrs. Biden doesn’t include the full Hemingway quote, which is about mortality and the end of life. The full quote, from “A Farewell to Arms,” continues: “But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.”

    The full quote is of course the least of what the first lady leaves out in this book.

    After the November 2024 election, Axios reporter Alex Thompson and I spoke with more than 200 Democratic insiders, officials, campaign staff, and more — all of whom supported Biden — to find out how much of what we saw on that debate stage on June 27, 2024, had been seen before that night behind the scenes. The answer was: quite a bit. Our book, “Original Sin,” detailed mental acuity issues that got much more pronounced in 2023 and 2024 but had reared their heads before then. None of them are in her book, of course.

    She centers her discussions about her husband’s fitness in a section centered on his decision to run for president in 2020. “To me, Joe was definitely aging, but he was not exhibiting signs of dementia or senility,” she writes. “Joe was the same man I’d always known.”

    Again, this comes when discussing him running in 2020. Not 2024.

    After that passage, she yada yadas to the 2023 decision to run for reelection. After an anecdote in which a visitor sees Biden — in 2019 or 2020 — “hop(ping) into his green 1967 Corvette Stingray, rev the engine, and screams down the highway” (“That is sure not the guy they portray on television,” the unnamed visitor gushes) — she suddenly hops to 2024:

    “Even if he had slowed down in the years before his election bid, I believed in my heart that he was still good enough and wise enough and capable enough to govern,” she writes. “He never wavered from his values, the same ones I grew up with. I believe that if his health had ever deteriorated to the point where he was no longer able to serve, he would have had the humility to admit that.”

    There is enough space in between those lines for a 1967 Corvette Stingray to travel.

    The issue was never about whether he was good, wise, or had the same values. It was about his ability to run for president, to win the campaign, and to serve as president.

    The best she says about that is that he would be “capable enough.”

    Capable enough?

    Also please note that she leaves the decision about whether he couldn’t do the job entirely up to him. As if a person mentally deteriorating would necessarily be up to that task.

    Thus, she stands by her decision: “For the good of the country, I knew that I, for one, would rather Joe have a second term than not.”

    Again, that’s not the question.

    “Given what terrible things Joe’s opponent guaranteed he would do, the choice seemed clear,” she writes.

    But the choice wasn’t Trump vs. Biden. It was Trump vs. which Democrat would be best.

    “I felt that Joe was a far, far better option than his opponent — who, by the way, was only three years younger than Joe,” she writes.

    It wasn’t about the number.

    In her own book, “107 Days,” former Vice President Kamala Harris describes President Biden’s decision to run for reelection this way: “‘It’s Joe and Jill’s decision.’ We all said that, like a mantra, as if we’d all been hypnotized…it was recklessness. The stakes were simply too high. This wasn’t a choice that should have been left to an individual’s ego, an individual’s ambition.”

    But as Jill Biden tells it, in 2023, “the best Democratic minds hadn’t thought” anyone else other than Joe Biden could beat Trump and “they implored him to run.”

    They did? Who? Which best Democratic minds implored him to run?

    The most charitable interpretation of Jill Biden’s book, particularly the parts dealing with her husband’s aging, is that she’s having difficulty accepting what’s been happening to him for years. The less forgiving version is that she’s been enabling it and is now seeking to try to find an excuse for what we all saw, while also suggesting here and there that there’s much more than maybe even she’s willing to admit to herself.

    ‘The only thing I want to hear from Jill Biden is I’m sorry’: Top Dem reacts to the former First Lady’s recent comments
    4:02 • Source: CNN

    Of course she repeats a lot of the same arguments Democrats made before his terrible, troubling performance in the June 2024 debate — and the failure to immediately prove that the debate had been an anomaly — revealed something much worse was going on than had been acknowledged.

    She talks about her pitch to voters in February 2024: “at eighty-one, he does more in an hour than most people do in a day.” Well, yes, that’s true of all presidents given the powers and responsibilities of the office. But it doesn’t acknowledge his preferred shortened schedule of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., whenever possible, or his inability to campaign vigorously.

    (In her book, Kamala Harris writes that “his inner circle, the people who knew him best, should have realized that any campaign was a bridge too far, and that in its rigors, he’d be perpetually, increasingly, unavoidably exhausted.”)

    Heading into the debate, Mrs. Biden says, “Joe seemed tired — overly tired. He was pushing too hard, traveling too much.” Yes, we know. That’s part of the job of the president of the United States. She repeats that he didn’t feel well. Then comes the debate. And that first, awful answer.

    “Is he short-circuiting? I thought. Is this a stroke? It felt like we were watching an AI hologram of the man we knew, and the hologram was glitching. Has he been drugged? Oh God — will people watching assume that this is how he is all the time?… Was he having a medical emergency?”

    Then she writes:

    “Joe did improve in the course of that debate, but not enough to reassure me or anyone watching that he was okay. He clearly wasn’t. So what was wrong? Nothing explained what I was seeing. I’d never seen that look on his face before in my life.”

    And the mystery, for her, continues:

    “To this day, I still don’t know what happened. Why wasn’t he making any sense? It was inexplicable to me… Had he taken something on the plane for his cough, something at the hotel to sleep — codeine cough syrup of Ambien? I’d been on the campaign trail and hadn’t been with him, so I had no idea. I only wish I had the answer.”

    The book begins with the former first lady faulting the White House physicians for not testing the president in office for the Stage IV cancer that is currently, sadly, wreaking havoc on his body.

    “I’m a doctor,” one woman says to the former president in 2025 on a Delaware beach. “How did your doctor not pick up this cancer diagnosis earlier?”

    The answer Jill Biden provides — that the American Urological Association doesn’t recommend routine Prostate-Specific Antigen screening for men older than 70, given that life expectancy in the US is 76 — doesn’t really make sense given that Biden turned 76 in 2018, two years before he was elected president, which is, of course, also kind of why he might have been an exception.

    The first lady takes the time to consider why her husband didn’t get a PSA test — but still doesn’t seem willing to scrutinize, or be honest about, another health issue that we all saw live on TV on the night of June 27, 2024.

    李在明政府迎首考：韩国地方选举影响深远

    2026年6月2日 18:18 / 联合早报

    韩国第九届地方选举最大焦点是首尔市长选举。作为韩国人口最多、政治影响力最大的地区，首尔历来被视为全国政治风向标，其结果往往被解读为民意走向的重要指标。图为一名男子胸前贴上首尔市长候选人郑愿伍的竞选海报四处奔走拉票。 （法新社）

    韩国星期三（6月3日）将举行第九届地方选举及14席国会议员补选。其中，被称为“迷你国会选举”的国会议员补选备受关注，多地选情胶着，朝野围绕国会后半期主导权展开最后角力。

    作为李在明政府上台后的首场全国性选举，此次投票不仅将重塑地方政治版图，也将对未来国会力量消长及韩国政局走向产生重要影响。

    选举初期，凭借执政优势和李在明近60%的高支持率，共同民主党一度被普遍看好。然而，随着投票日临近，最大反对党国民力量党逐步缩小差距，多地选情演变为激烈拉锯战。

    韩国选举委员会数据显示，5月29日至30日举行的提前投票率达到23.51%，创下2014年实施提前投票制度以来地方选举最高纪录，也反映出选民对本次选举的高度关注。

    本届地方选举最大焦点是首尔市长选举。作为韩国人口最多、政治影响力最大的地区，首尔历来被视为全国政治风向标，其结果往往被解读为民意走向的重要指标。

    对于共同民主党而言，若获李在明总统力挺的候选人郑愿伍成功夺回首尔，不仅将进一步巩固新政府的执政基础，也将被视为首都圈选民对李在明施政路线的再次背书。反之，若未能拿下首尔，则可能引发外界对执政党动员能力及李在明政治影响力的讨论。

    若现任市长吴世勋成功连任，将创下第五次当选首尔市长的纪录。在李在明政府支持率维持高位的背景下仍能守住首都圈这一核心阵地，无疑将进一步提升其在保守阵营中的政治分量，并为未来挑战总统大选积累重要政治资本。

    有“得忠清者得天下”之称的忠清南北道地区同样备受瞩目。由于地方色彩相对较弱、摇摆选民比例较高，忠清地区长期被视为观察全国选情的重要风向标。当地选民人数首次突破480万人，其政治影响力进一步提升。

    传统保守票仓釜山同样是决定胜负的重要战场。国民力量党候选人朴亨埈将迎战辞去国会议员职务参选的共同民主党候选人田载秀。对于国民力量党而言，守住釜山意味着稳固岭南基本盘；而共同民主党则希望借此突破长期以来在庆尚道地区的弱势局面。

    与此同时，保守阵营能否实现“票仓集结”成为最后阶段的重要看点。前总统李明博和朴槿惠近期密集为国民力量党候选人站台，试图凝聚保守选票。

    分析指出，首尔、忠清和釜山三大战场的结果，将直接左右此次地方选举整体胜负，而部分传统票仓是否出现意外变数，也可能成为改写韩国地方政治版图的关键因素。

    商界领袖：若不尽快改变，洛杉矶经济“毫无希望”

    福克斯新闻数字频道专访了洛杉矶商人约翰·帕特南，谈及斯宾塞·普拉特的市长竞选以及社区面临的种种问题。

    加利福尼亚州圣莫尼卡——一位商界领袖兼前市议会候选人指出，犯罪、近期野火以及恶劣的营商环境是选民对现状不满的原因，这也助推了斯宾塞·普拉特在洛杉矶市长选举中的崛起。

    “我认为很多人都对当前状况感到担忧，他们实在不知道该如何解决，我觉得犯罪、无家可归问题、毒品成瘾，所有这些政客导致的城市乱象，很多民众都看在眼里，”帕特南品牌与帕特南配饰集团总裁约翰·帕特南告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

    “而且我认为斯宾塞正以一种实实在在的方式带来关注。他阐述议题的方式非常直白，我觉得这一点引发了广泛共鸣。哪怕你不想投票给他，也会认真倾听他的观点，我认为这打动了很多人。”

    帕特南曾在2024年竞选圣莫尼卡市议会席位，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，尽管他所在的圣莫尼卡市没有洛杉矶市长选举权，但获胜者的施政纲领将对整个县产生“滴漏效应”。

    “加州面临严峻问题，但我们所在的城市，尤其是圣莫尼卡，正是洛杉矶乃至全球各地问题的产物，”帕特南说。“仅在圣莫尼卡，我们的经济依赖游客。我们80%的收入来自城外游客。我们需要游客前来创造收入。”

    帕特南的公司已运营40年，总部位于洛杉矶市中心附近，他告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，只要在城市里转转就能明显感受到，犯罪、无家可归、高税收等因素正严重制约营商环境。

    “在这里经商成本极高，”帕特南说。“几年前一项涵盖250个城市的调查显示，圣莫尼卡是经商成本最高的城市，这源于各类监管政策和其他诸多因素。”

    “但除此之外，如果无法营造出宜居、安全、整洁的环境，那就毫无希望。说白了，这种局面下完全看不到希望。所以我们必须迅速采取行动，阵痛已经显现。作为选民，我们终将决定如何改变现状。”

    犯罪已成为普拉特、现任市长凯伦·巴斯以及进步派市议员妮提亚·拉曼之间竞选的热门议题。帕特南表示，尽管有数据显示特定暴力犯罪率有所下降，但过去几年整体犯罪情况愈发严重。

    “各类统计数据层出不穷，情况确实在恶化，尽管各方都试图用不同方式粉饰太平。有数据称犯罪率下降，我认为全国范围内暴力犯罪率确实有所下降，但各类小额盗窃等轻罪频发，”帕特南说。

    “犯罪已蔓延至所有社区。洛杉矶南部、东部都有，无处不在。就连圣莫尼卡这里，我们也深受这类犯罪行为之害，城市里泛滥的毒品成瘾问题引发了这类犯罪活动，这根本无法让人接受。它无法保护我们，无法让我们感到安全，也无助于社区发展。”

    大约一年半前，洛杉矶地区的阿尔塔迪纳和帕利塞兹遭遇野火肆虐，造成31人死亡。帕利塞兹大火蔓延至距离帕特南圣莫尼卡家仅几英里的区域，烧毁了超过6000栋建筑，其中包括普拉特的住宅。

    帕特南告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，野火以及外界对巴斯防灾和救灾应对的批评，绝对是洛杉矶居民每次聊天都会提及的话题，因为仅有少量住宅完成重建。

    “民众感觉被抛弃了，他们觉得没有得到帮助，”帕特南说。“他们的家园，阿尔塔迪纳和帕利塞兹，彻底被毁了。除此之外，美甲店、美发沙龙、餐馆纷纷关门，这些人失去了生意和收入，无家可归，他们没有得到应有的关爱和关注，我们需要团结起来帮助这些人。”

    普拉特将在周二晚间的市长初选中与巴斯和进步派市议员妮提亚·拉曼角逐，本次选举的前两名候选人将进入11月的大选；但若有候选人获得50%以上的选票，可直接当选下一任市长。

    LA business leader says crime, wildfire fallout fueling Pratt surge as voters seek change: ‘People are angry’

    ‘No hope’ for LA economy if things don’t change soon: business leader

    Fox News Digital spoke to Los Angeles businessman John Putnam about Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign and the problems facing the community.

    SANTA MONICA, CA — A business leader and former city council candidate is reacting to Spencer Pratt’s surge in the Los Angeles mayoral race by pointing to crime, the recent wildfires, and the inhospitable business climate as the reason why voters are discontent with the status quo.

    “I think a lot of people are concerned about what’s happening, they really don’t know how to fix this, and I think the crime, the homelessness, the addiction, all the above behaviors of what’s happened in our city as politicians that are causing this, I think a lot people are seeing that,” John Putnam, the president of Putnam Brands & Putnam Accessory Group, told Fox News Digital.

    “And I think Spencer’s actually bringing the light in a real way. He’s pretty basic with his delivery of his issues and I think that’s resonating a lot. Even if you don’t want to vote for him, you’re listening, though and I think that’s resonating with a lot of people.”

    Putnam, a former candidate for Santa Monica City Council in 2024, told Fox News Digital that even though his town of Santa Monica doesn’t vote for LA mayor, the winner’s platform will have a “trickle down” effect all across the county.

    “California’s got a big issue, but the city, especially where we live, Santa Monica, is a byproduct of what’s happened in Los Angeles and across the world,” Putnam said. “In Santa Monica alone, we’re a people-driven economy. 80% of our revenue comes from outside this city. We need revenue being generated from people that are coming here to visit.”

    Putnam’s company, which he has run for 40 years, is based near downtown Los Angeles, and he told Fox News Digital that it’s clear when you drive around the city that the business climate is being significantly handcuffed by crime, homelessness, high taxes and other factors.

    “It costs so much to operate a business here,” Putnam said. “Out of 250 cities that were surveyed a few years ago, Santa Monica came in number one of being the most expensive place to do business and that’s because of all the regulation, all the other aspects.

    “But on top of that, if you can’t create an inviting environment and a safe environment and a clean environment, there’s no hope. I mean, the bottom line, there is zero hope in that arrangement. So we have to do something quickly and the pain is there. We, just as voters, hopefully, will determine what we have to do to change that.”

    Crime has been a highly talked-about issue in the mayoral race between Pratt, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and progressive Councilwoman Nithya Raman. Putnam says that over the past few years, crime has gotten worse overall, despite statistics that say specific violent crimes are down.

    “There’s all sorts of stats, it’s worse, everyone’s trying to sugar coat it in different ways, but the stats are out there, they’re saying crime is down, I think violent crime is down across the country, but all this petty stuff is happening,” Putnam said.

    “It’s come in all neighborhoods. I mean you know it’s down in the south side of Los Angeles, east. It’s everywhere. You know even here in Santa Monica, we’re definitely being victims of this behavior of crime, and the drug addiction that’s running rampant in our city that’s causing this kind of criminal activity doesn’t really satisfy anyone. It doesn’t protect us. It doesn’t make us feel safe, and it doesn’t help our community just to grow.”

    Roughly a year and a half ago, the Los Angeles area was devastated by wildfires in Altadena and the Pacific Palisades that killed 31 people. The Palisades fire crept within a few miles of Putnam’s home in Santa Monica and destroyed more than 6,000 structures, including Pratt’s home.

    Putnam told Fox News Digital that the fires, and criticism of Bass’s preparedness and response, is “definitely a point of every conversation” with Los Angeles residents as only a handful of homes have been rebuilt.

    “People are feeling left out, they’re not feeling like they’re being helped,” Putnam said. “I mean, their whole town, Altadena and Palisades were just destroyed. Beyond that, you had nail salons, you have all these hair salons, you had restaurants, these people are homeless from their businesses, their income and they aren’t getting the love and the attention they deserve, we need to come together and help those people.”

    “That’s what’s frustrating. I think people are angry, but also just really concerned. And I think this is really, Spencer’s really done a good job of bringing that out and letting people know this is not acceptable, and we have a choice here.”

    Pratt will face off in the mayoral primary on Tuesday night against Bass and progressive City Council member Nithya Raman in an election where the top two candidates will move on to the November general election; however, if a candidate receives 50% of the vote, they become the next mayor outright.

    韩国星期三（6月3日）将举行第九届地方选举及14席国会议员补选。其中，被称为“迷你国会选举”的国会议员补选备受关注，多地选情胶着，朝野围绕国会后半期主导权展开最后角力。

    本届地方选举最大焦点是首尔市长选举。作为韩国人口最多、政治影响力最大的地区，首尔历来被视为全国政治风向标，其结果往往被解读为民意走向的重要指标。

    对于共同民主党而言，若获李在明总统力挺的候选人郑愿伍成功夺回首尔，不仅将进一步巩固新政府的执政基础，也将被视为首都圈选民对李在明施政路线的再次背书。反之，若未能拿下首尔，则可能引发外界对执政党动员能力及李在明政治影响力的讨论。

    若现任市长吴世勋成功连任，将创下第五次当选首尔市长的纪录。在李在明政府支持率维持高位的背景下仍能守住首都圈这一核心阵地，无疑将进一步提升其在保守阵营中的政治分量，并为未来挑战总统大选积累重要政治资本。

    有“得忠清者得天下”之称的忠清南北道地区同样备受瞩目。由于地方色彩相对较弱、摇摆选民比例较高，忠清地区长期被视为观察全国选情的重要风向标。当地选民人数首次突破480万人，其政治影响力进一步提升。

    传统保守票仓釜山同样是决定胜负的重要战场。国民力量党候选人朴亨埈将迎战辞去国会议员职务参选的共同民主党候选人田载秀。对于国民力量党而言，守住釜山意味着稳固岭南基本盘；而共同民主党则希望借此突破长期以来在庆尚道地区的弱势局面。

    与此同时，保守阵营能否实现“票仓集结”成为最后阶段的重要看点。前总统李明博和朴槿惠近期密集为国民力量党候选人站台，试图凝聚保守选票。

    分析指出，首尔、忠清和釜山三大战场的结果，将直接左右此次地方选举整体胜负，而部分传统票仓是否出现意外变数，也可能成为改写韩国地方政治版图的关键因素。

  • 美国基金管理公司支持401(k)计划配置另类资产提案，但其他方担忧风险


    2026-06-02T10:08:36.325Z / https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-fund-management-firms-back-401k-alternative-assets-proposal-others-worry-2026-06-02/

    罗德岛州普罗维登斯6月2日路透电——美国基金管理行业已表态支持一项提案，该提案拟允许退休计划投资私人信贷、加密货币等另类资产，将现有401(k)计划及其他大众市场产品中约14.2万亿美元的资金分流一部分至此类投资工具中。

    截至周一提案意见征询期结束时，包括华尔街及投资者维权团体在内的个人与机构已提交超3.3万条意见，就美国劳工部拟议的新规则发表了大量看法。

    部分人士担忧，该提案将使劳动者的退休储蓄面临过高风险和高额费用，而另一些人则认为这将为投资者和基金带来获利机会。

    代表另类资产行业的贸易团体管理基金协会首席法律官詹妮弗·韩在意见函中写道：“纳入此类基金和资产，应能减轻某些监管负担和诉讼风险，这些风险此前阻碍了美国劳动者通过退休账户获取竞争收益和资产多元化配置，而这正是保障舒适退休生活所必需的。”

    但许多其他评论者质疑，该提案是否真的会惠及个人投资者，还是仅会有利于试图挖掘大规模新资金来源的资产管理公司。

    投资者诉讼的“安全港”

    美国劳工部3月底公布该提案时表示，拟议的规则修改将为雇主提供合法的“安全港”，即免受投资者诉讼的保护，前提是雇主在做出投资决策前“客观、全面地分析考量包括业绩、费用、流动性、估值、业绩基准及复杂性在内的各项因素”并做出决定。

    当时，一名劳工部官员表示，该规则并非旨在指导投资机构进行或不进行某项投资，而是为他们提供“分析工具包”，使其能够遵循“严谨、全面且客观的流程”。

    据劳工部官网消息，意见征询期现已结束。

    该部门接下来将审查收到的数千条意见，可能会修订规则，并在最终规则发布前完成白宫审查程序。由于此次规则修订缘起于唐纳德·特朗普总统去年8月签署的一项行政令，最终规则的出台速度可能会较快。

    建议适度配置

    投资公司协会（ICI）总体对该提案表示欢迎，该协会代表的资产管理公司已在为这类政策变化筹备新的合作项目。该协会建议，在大多数雇主赞助的401(k)计划的默认投资选项——目标日期基金中，“适度配置私人市场资产”是最佳方案。

    部分财务顾问表示，这将惠及储蓄者。

    德克萨斯州奥斯汀市Gap金融服务首席执行官贾罗德·温科姆普莱克作为财务顾问在意见函中写道：“美国经济日益依托私人市场，但大多数劳动者无法涉足其中。”他敦促决策者推进该提案。

    根据美国劳工统计局数据，未纳入政府计划的美国在职劳动者中，约57%拥有某种形式的雇主赞助的退休储蓄账户，比如401(k)计划。投资公司协会测算，截至去年，这类账户的资金总额达14.2万亿美元。

    对收益的质疑

    投资行业教育机构CFA协会表示，尽管机构投资者凭借市场影响力能够获得费率最低、质量最高的投资工具，但退休储蓄者将无法“直接掌控基金经理选择、交易渠道、估值、流动性条款或费用安排”。

    事实上，路透社审核的多封意见函均提及作者担忧他们可接触的基金的结构问题。

    芝加哥Centric Wealth Management首席投资官迈克尔·麦科马克表示，区间基金等另类投资工具“通常承诺的流动性高于其基础资产实际所能提供的流动性，这种错配在市场低迷时期会变得十分危险”。

    US fund management firms back 401(k) alternative assets proposal, but others worry about risks

    2026-06-02T10:08:36.325Z / https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-fund-management-firms-back-401k-alternative-assets-proposal-others-worry-2026-06-02/

    PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island, June 2 (Reuters) – The U.S. fund management industry has thrown its weight behind a proposal to ​open up retirement plans to alternative assets like private credit and cryptocurrencies to direct a slice of the estimated $14.2 trillion now in ‌401(k) and other mass-market products into those vehicles.

    More than 33,000 letters from individuals and institutions, including Wall Street and investor advocacy groups, offered a myriad of opinions on the proposed new rule by the Department of Labor by the time the comment period for the proposal drew to a close on Monday.

    Some raised concerns that it would open up workers to excessive risks and ​high fees on their retirement savings, while others saw opportunities for investors and funds to benefit.

    “Including those funds and assets should alleviate certain ​regulatory burdens and litigation risk that interfere with the ability of American workers to achieve, through their retirement accounts, the competitive ⁠returns and asset diversification necessary to secure a comfortable retirement,” wrote Jennifer Han, chief legal officer of the Managed Funds Association, a trade group that represents ​the alternative assets industry.

    But many others questioned whether the proposal would really benefit individual investors or just favor asset managers trying to tap a large new source ​of capital.

    ‘SAFE HARBOR’ FROM INVESTOR LAWSUITS

    The proposed rule change would give employers a legal “safe harbor”, or protection from investor lawsuits, as long as they “objectively, thoroughly, and analytically consider, and make determinations on factors including performance, fees, liquidity, valuation, performance benchmarks, and complexity” before making the investment, the Labor Department said when announcing the proposal in late March.

    At that time, a Labor ​Department official said the rule was not intended to direct providers to invest or not but rather give them “the toolkit so that they can follow an ​analytical, thorough and objective process.”

    The review period has now ended, according to the Labor Department’s website.

    The department will now review the thousands of comments it received, may revise ‌the rule, ⁠and must complete a White House review before any final rule can be published. That may happen rapidly, since the process now underway was sparked by an executive order from President Donald Trump last August.

    MODEST ALLOCATIONS SUGGESTED

    The Investment Company Institute (ICI), which represents asset managers that have been forming new partnerships in anticipation of such a policy change, generally applauded the move. It suggested “modest private market allocations” within the target-date funds that are the default investments for most employer-sponsored 401(k) plans would be the best ​approach.

    Some financial advisers said it would ​benefit savers.

    “The American economy increasingly lives ⁠in private markets and most workers have no access to it,” wrote financial adviser Jarrod Winkcompleck, CEO of Gap Financial Services in Austin, Texas, as he urged policymakers to forge ahead with the proposal.

    About 57% of all working Americans who ​are not covered by government plans have some kind of employer-sponsored retirement savings account, such as a 401(k) plan, ​according to the Bureau ⁠of Labor Statistics. The ICI calculated that as of last year, that pool of capital totaled $14.2 trillion.

    SKEPTICISM ON BENEFITS

    The CFA Institute, an investment industry education association, said that while institutions get access to the lowest-fee, highest-quality vehicles because of their market clout, retirement savers will lack “direct control over manager selection, deal access, valuation, liquidity terms or fee ⁠arrangements.”

    Indeed, ​several of the comment letters reviewed by Reuters emphasized their authors’ concern about the structure of ​the funds to which they will have access.

    Michael McCormick, chief investment officer at Centric Wealth Management in Chicago, said that alternative asset vehicles, such as interval funds, “often promise more liquidity than their underlying ​assets can actually support, a mismatch that becomes dangerous in a market downturn.”

  • 日本熊闯入两家工厂及居民区，造成4人受伤


    2026年6月2日 / 美国东部时间上午7:30 / 哥伦比亚广播公司/法新社

    警方及媒体报道称，日本北部福岛县当地周二发生一起熊袭事件，造成两家工厂及一处居民区共4人受伤。

    日本去年共有13人因熊类袭击丧生，创下历史纪录，而随着这些动物饥肠辘辘地结束冬眠走出巢穴，目击熊类的数量出现激增。

    该县警方在一份声明中表示：“福岛市发生一起涉熊伤人事件，造成4人受伤。”

    据《读卖新闻》援引警方及消防部门官员的话报道，这头熊最初在一家汽车零部件工厂被发现，当时有人紧急报警称“员工遭到撕咬”。该报补充说，目前仍未找到这头熊的踪迹。

    《读卖新闻》称，在熊继续肆虐期间，又有两人受伤：一人在居民区，另一人在附近一家电子设备制造商的厂区内。报道还称，这头熊当时被认为仍留在工厂内。

    报道指出，其中一名伤者伤势严重，其余三人仅受轻伤。

    据官方数据显示，在截至今年3月的上一财年中，日本全国范围内的熊类目击事件超过5万起，是两年前创下的前纪录的两倍多。

    这些动物几乎每天都会出现在机场跑道、高尔夫球场、学校附近，还会在超市和温泉度假区引发恐慌。此前有一头熊在一家超市横冲直撞了两天，最终工作人员用涂有蜂蜜的食物将其诱出，警方随后将其捕获并击毙。

    熊患问题已经严重到美国国务院去年曾警告在日美国公民要警惕熊类袭击。

    据当地媒体报道，今年熊类结束冬眠后，目击熊类的纪录再次被打破。

    日本环境省数据显示，今年4月，熊类袭击造成1人死亡、5人受伤。

    今年东京郊区也报告了十余起熊类目击事件，上月一名30多岁的俄罗斯男子在东京近郊徒步时 reportedly 遭到熊的袭击受伤。

    日本一家生产外形凶猛的机器狼的公司在去年创纪录的致命熊袭事件后，接到了大量订单。

    “怪兽狼”是一款电子动画稻草人，配备闪烁的红眼，会发出嚎叫和威胁性的低吼，用以驱赶野生动物。

    科学家表示，袭击事件激增的原因是熊的数量快速增长，加上人口下降，尤其是农村地区的人口减少。

    东京农业大学生物学家山崎浩二2023年在接受哥伦比亚广播公司记者伊丽莎白·帕尔默采访时表示，人口减少让熊“有机会扩大活动范围”。

    Bear rampages through 2 factories and a residential area in Japan, injuring 4 people

    June 2, 2026 / 7:30 AM EDT / CBS/AFP

    A bear attack left four people injured in two factories and a residential area in northern Japan’s Fukushima on Tuesday, police and media reports said.

    A record 13 people were killed by bears in Japan last year, and there has been a jump in sightings as the animals emerge hungry from hibernation.

    “A bear-related human injury incident… occurred in Fukushima City, injuring four people,” the prefectural police said in a statement.

    The bear was first spotted in a car parts factory, prompting an emergency call explaining that “employees had been bitten,” the Yomiuri Shimbun daily reported, citing police and fire department officials. The outlet reported the bear still had not been located.

    As the bear continued its rampage, two other people were injured, one in a residential area and the other on the premises of an electronic equipment manufacturer nearby, the Yomiuri said, adding that the animal was thought to have remained inside the factory.

    The report said one of those attacked was heavily injured, while the rest suffered only mild injuries.

    In the last fiscal year to March, bear sightings nationwide topped 50,000, more than double the previous record set two years earlier, according to official data.

    The animals have been seen on airport runways, walking on golf courses, roaming near schools and causing panic in supermarkets and hot spring resorts almost on a daily basis. A bear that rampaged through a supermarket for two days was lured out with food coated in honey, and police said the animal was trapped and later killed.

    The problem was so bad that last year the U.S. State Department warned Americans in Japan to be alert for bears.

    Record sightings have been reported again this year as the bears emerge from their winter slumber, according to local media.

    In April, bear attacks killed one person and injured five others, according to the environment ministry.

    There have also been more than a dozen bear sightings reported on the outskirts of Tokyo this year, with a Russian man in his 30s reportedly mauled as he hiked in the city last month.

    A Japanese company making ferocious-looking robot wolves is being swamped by orders after record numbers of fatal bear attacks on humans last year.

    “Monster Wolf” is an animatronic scarecrow with flashing red eyes that howls and growls menacingly to scare away wild animals.

    Scientists say the surge in attacks has been driven by fast-growing numbers of bears, combined with a falling human population, especially in rural areas.

    That depopulation has left bears “a chance to expand their range,” biologist Koji Yamazaki, from Tokyo University of Agriculture, told CBS News’ Elizabeth Palmer in 2023.
