    • 摘要
    • 卡西迪在激烈初选中面临特朗普背书的莱托洛和州共和党热门候选人弗莱明
    • 卡西迪因弹劾投票、与特朗普关系紧张以及反对特朗普政策而成为目标
    • 无论初选结果如何,该席位大概率仍将由共和党掌控

    5月16日(路透社)——共和党温和派议员、美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的报复目标比尔·卡西迪参议员将在周六路易斯安那州的初选中接受考验:他能否在包括特朗普背书的挑战者在内的两位热门对手手中胜出,还是会成为十余年来首位在党内连任初选中失利的现任联邦参议员。

    根据政治数据网站RealClearPolitics.com汇编的民调数据,卡西迪是一名医生,他在2021年特朗普第二次参议院弹劾审判中投票支持定罪特朗普,首次招致总统的愤怒。在此次共和党初选中,他位列第三,落后于特朗普背书的联邦众议员朱莉娅·莱托洛,以及曾在特朗普首届政府任职的前国会议员、路易斯安那州财政部长约翰·弗莱明。

    在特朗普在2024年总统大选中获得该州超60%选票的路易斯安那州,卡西迪的胜选机会看似渺茫。但在这场可能最终走向6月27日决选的三方激烈角逐中,如果被卡西迪贴上“自由派”标签的莱托洛最终被弗莱明击败,特朗普也可能陷入尴尬境地。弗莱明曾是海军医生,在州共和党内部拥有强大支持。

    “约翰·弗莱明医生是此次竞选中唯一的保守派候选人,”强大的共和党州中央委员会成员、保守派团体路易斯安那州共和党集会主席克里斯蒂·海克说道。

    特朗普的报复竞选活动

    路易斯安那州初选是特朗普 ongoing报复竞选活动的最新战场。本月,该竞选活动已导致印第安纳州至少7名反对特朗普推动的中期国会选区重划计划以保护共和党在众议院多数席位的共和党州议员中有5人在初选中失利。

    下周,特朗普的竞选活动将转战肯塔基州,特朗普希望他亲手挑选的初选挑战者埃德·加莱恩能够击败共和党联邦众议员托马斯·马西。马西是特朗普的批评者,也是推动公布被定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦——特朗普的前朋友——政府文件运动的核心人物。

    在路易斯安那州,45岁的莱托洛甚至在宣布参选前就获得了特朗普的参议院背书。她的丈夫卢克在2020年当选众议院议员后因新冠感染去世,她随后通过特别选举接替丈夫进入国会,并凭借特朗普的背书成功当选。卡西迪曾抨击她在路易斯安那大学门罗分校工作期间支持多样性、公平与包容举措。她则通过广告回应称卡西迪和弗莱明是“永不支持特朗普者”,并强调自己获得的总统背书。

    68岁的卡西迪是一名肝病专科医生,协助创立了一家服务低收入患者的巴吞鲁日诊所。他曾任职于路易斯安那州参议院和美国众议院,并在2014年击败前民主党联邦参议员玛丽·兰德里厄,成为自1883年以来首位拿下该席位的共和党人。目前他担任参议院卫生、教育、劳工与养老金委员会主席,并在2020年以近60%的选票获得连任。

    根据向联邦选举委员会提交的文件,在参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩和全国共和党参议员委员会的支持下,卡西迪在初选竞选的最后阶段拥有550万美元现金储备,而莱托洛的现金储备为160万美元。74岁的弗莱明大部分竞选资金来自自掏腰包,目前仍有近140万美元现金。

    卡西迪投票弹劾特朗普

    但在2021年,作为支持在1月6日特朗普支持者袭击美国国会大厦后对特朗普进行弹劾的7名共和党议员之一后,卡西迪与特朗普爆发了一系列冲突,这笔财政火力并未助力他的竞选活动。目前他仍是仅有的三位仍在任的议员之一。

    在特朗普因涉嫌不当处理机密文件被起诉后,卡西迪随后呼吁特朗普退出2024年总统竞选,并在特朗普赢得共和党提名后拒绝为其背书。

    自特朗普重返白宫以来,卡西迪试图通过支持罗伯特·F·肯尼迪 Jr. 提名美国卫生部长的方式,重新赢得总统的好感。

    但卡西迪对特朗普卫生政策的支持转瞬即逝:他对肯尼迪全面改革美国疫苗政策的提议公开表示怀疑,并与 fellow共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯和丽莎·穆尔科斯基一同在国会阻挠卫生部长的议程。

    最近一次决裂发生在上个月,特朗普指责卡西迪阻挠凯西·米恩斯的卫生局局长提名,迫使总统任命放射科医生、福克斯新闻撰稿人妮可·萨皮尔作为该职位的第三位提名人选。

    独立政治分析师表示,卡西迪仍有可能在周六的初选中胜出,在决选中对阵莱托洛或弗莱明。无论最终谁获胜,该席位预计都将由共和党掌控。

    前共和党参议员理查德·卢格是最后一位在2012年连任初选中失利的现任议员。

    Republican Cassidy faces Trump retribution effort in Louisiana Senate primary

    2026-05-16T10:10:21.829Z / Reuters

    • Summary
    • Cassidy faces Trump-backed Letlow and state GOP favorite Fleming in tight primary
    • Cassidy targeted for impeachment vote, strained Trump ties and opposition to Trump policies
    • Seat likely to remain Republican regardless of primary outcome

    May 16 (Reuters) – U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican moderate targeted for retribution by President Donald Trump, will find out whether he can survive a primary election in Louisiana on Saturday against two popular rivals, including a Trump-backed challenger, ​or become the first elected Senate incumbent to lose renomination in more than a decade.

    Cassidy, a physician who first earned the president’s ire by voting for his conviction ‌in Trump’s second Senate impeachment trial in 2021, entered the Republican primary in third place behind Trump-backed U.S. Representative Julia Letlow and Louisiana Treasurer John Fleming, a former congressman who served in Trump’s first administration, according to polling data compiled by the website RealClearPolitics.com.

    Cassidy’s chances of victory seem narrow in a state where Trump received more than 60% of the vote during the 2024 presidential election. But in a closely fought three-way battle that is likely to end in ​a June 27 runoff election, Trump could also risk embarrassment if Letlow, whom Cassidy has sought to brand as a “liberal,” is ultimately bested by Fleming, a former Navy physician who has ​strong backing within the state Republican Party.

    “Dr John Fleming is the only conservative candidate in the race,” said Christy Haik, a member of the powerful ⁠Republican State Central Committee and president of the conservative group, Louisiana State Republican Assembly.

    TRUMP RETRIBUTION CAMPAIGN

    The Louisiana primary is the latest venue for an ongoing Trump retribution campaign that delivered primary defeats this month ​against at least 5 of 7 Republican state legislators in Indiana, who opposed the president’s push for a mid-decade congressional redistricting plan to protect the Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.

    Next week, ​Trump’s campaign moves to Kentucky, where the president hopes to see his hand-picked primary challenger Ed Gallrein defeat Republican U.S. Representative Thomas Massie, a Trump critic and leading voice in the campaign to release government files on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, an erstwhile friend of the president.

    In Louisiana, Letlow, 45, won Trump’s Senate endorsement before she had even announced her candidacy. She entered Congress after her husband Luke died of a COVID infection after being elected to the ​House in 2020. She ran to replace him in a special election and succeeded with Trump’s endorsement. Cassidy has targeted her support for diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives when she worked for the University ​of Louisiana at Monroe. She has responded with ads calling Cassidy and Fleming “Never Trumpers” and emphasizing her presidential endorsement.

    Cassidy, a 68-year-old doctor who specialized in the treatment of liver disease and helped found a Baton Rouge clinic ‌that serves low-income ⁠patients, served in the Louisiana Senate and the U.S. House before unseating former Democratic U.S. Senator Mary Landrieu in 2014 to become the first Republican to capture the seat since 1883. He now chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. He was reelected in 2020 with nearly 60% of the vote.

    With backing from Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he entered the final phase of the primary campaign with $5.5 million in cash, compared with $1.6 million for Letlow, according to documents filed to the Federal Election Commission. Fleming, 74, had nearly $1.4 million in cash left from a campaign ​that he has largely self-financed.

    CASSIDY VOTED TO IMPEACH ​TRUMP

    But that financial firepower has not propelled ⁠his campaign after a series of conflicts with Trump beginning with his role in 2021 as one of seven Republicans who supported Trump’s impeachment after the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol by Trump supporters. He is now one of only three still in office.

    Cassidy later called on Trump to drop ​out of the 2024 presidential race after his indictment for allegedly mishandling classified documents and declined to endorse Trump after he won the Republican ​nomination.

    Since Trump’s return to the ⁠White House, Cassidy has tried to work his way back into the president’s good graces by supporting Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination for U.S. health secretary.

    But Cassidy’s support for Trump health policy has been short-lived, with him expressing open skepticism for Kennedy’s bid to overhaul U.S. vaccine policy and joining fellow Republican Senators Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski to slow the health secretary’s agenda in Congress.

    The most recent break came last ⁠month when Trump ​accused Cassidy of blocking the nomination of Casey Means as U.S. surgeon general, forcing the president to name radiologist and Fox ​News contributor Nicole Saphier as his third pick for the job.

    Independent political analysts say Cassidy could still emerge from Saturday’s primary to face either Letlow or Fleming in a run-off. Whoever ultimately emerges as the victor, the seat is expected to remain ​in Republican hands.

    Former Republican Senator Richard Lugar was the last elected incumbent to lose his bid for renomination in 2012.

  • 半决赛因大雨中断 辛纳能否晋级意大利网球赛决赛还需等待


    2026年5月16日 19:43 / 联合早报

    星期五(5月15日),现世界第一辛纳对阵前世界第一梅德韦杰夫的意大利网球公开赛男单半决赛因大雨被迫中断,当时辛纳以6比2、5比7、4比2领先。(法新社)

    星期五(5月15日),现世界第一辛纳对阵前世界第一梅德韦杰夫的意大利网球公开赛男单半决赛因大雨被迫中断,辛纳能否晋级决赛还得继续等待。

    辛纳正在冲击他的男子网球协会(ATP)最高级别赛事的33连胜。当比赛因大雨暂停时,这名意大利好手暂以6比2、5比7、4比2领先。

    比赛开始时,梅德韦杰夫看来几乎要彻底溃败,辛纳连下前四局,并仅用33分钟就拿下首盘。

    但当梅德韦杰夫在第二盘开局连赢三局后,比赛走势发生了变化。他几乎能够回击辛纳打来的每一个球,而辛纳则开始显露疲态。

    辛纳一度将比分追平,但他在局间休息时不得不频频依靠球拍支撑身体。赢下第六局后,他坐在椅子上明显气喘吁吁,看上去筋疲力尽,随后丢掉了第二盘。

    不过,梅德韦杰夫自己也开始失误增多。他在第三盘第三局中连续两次发球双误,丢掉发球局,让辛纳重新掌控比赛。

    辛纳在决胜盘以3比2领先后,一度因脚痛而申请医疗暂停。(路透社)

    在决胜盘以3比2领先后,辛纳申请了医疗暂停,梅德韦杰夫当气场炸,但显然,对于当时的辛纳来说,这样一个医疗暂停不仅可以让他缓口气,而且很有可能会打乱梅德韦杰夫的比赛节奏。而就在比分来到4比2时,大雨导致比赛暂停。

    这场比赛将于星期六(16日)下午3时恢复进行。

    如果夺冠,辛纳将成为50年来首位在罗马夺冠的意大利球员,并为接下来冲击法网冠军和生涯全满贯增添信心。

    胜者将对阵挪威选手鲁德

    如果辛纳晋级决赛,他将面对挪威球员鲁德。后者以6比1、6比1横扫东道主球员达尔德里,自去年10月在斯德哥尔摩夺冠后,首次闯入巡回赛决赛。这场比赛同样曾因暴雨中断。

    作为红土高手的鲁德几乎不费吹灰之力就解决了达尔德里,即使比赛曾因暴雨暂停近两小时,他还是占尽优势。

    然而,在与辛纳的前四次交锋中,鲁德却一盘未胜。去年在罗马大师赛八强战中,他还曾以0比6、1比6惨败给辛纳。那也是该项赛事历史上最一边倒的比赛之一。

    (纽约综合电)美国司法部周五(5月15日)指控亲伊朗的伊拉克武装组织真主党旅(Kataib Hezbollah)一名要员,参与策划针对欧洲、加拿大和美国犹太人的恐怖主义活动,包括要在纽约袭击一座犹太教堂及两家美国银行的欧洲办事处。

    联邦检察官称,遭控的伊拉克人萨阿迪(Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi,32岁)参与欧洲至少18起恐怖袭击和加拿大两起恐怖袭击的策划、执行和宣传。

    当局说,自美以伊战争爆发以来,萨阿迪指挥并呼吁其他人袭击美国和以色列的人民与目标设施,包括杀害美国人和犹太人作为报复。

    萨阿迪被控六项罪名,包括合谋向真主党旅和伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队提供物质支持。美国把它们列为恐怖组织。

    萨阿迪在土耳其的伊斯坦布尔被捕,过后移交给美国。他周四(5月14日)到达纽约后已被关押。

    联邦调查局局长帕特尔在社交媒体平台X发文指出,萨阿迪涉及大规模的全球恐怖主义活动,是高价值目标。

    美国指责真主党旅在2020年12月袭击伊拉克的美军基地,今年3月在巴格达绑架美国女记者吉特森(Shelly Kittleson)。五角大楼、联邦调查局和伊拉克最高司法委员会官员介入后,真主党旅将她释放。

  • 伊朗局势推高柴油成本,美国学校预算承压

    • 美国学区的柴油燃料成本自去年12月以来上涨67%
    • 近三分之一的美国学区被迫调整资源分配
    • 洛杉矶因使用绿色燃料和电动校车,受影响程度较低

    洛杉矶5月16日(路透社)——自伊朗局势紧张以来,柴油价格飙升正在耗尽本已紧张的美国学区预算,校车运营和发电机供电成本随之上升,官员们表示,他们无法长期承担这一压力。

    从华盛顿州亚基马到德克萨斯州韦科的学区,都在动用应急储备金以维持校车运营。据路透社采访,阿拉斯加州偏远地区的官员正紧急筹措足够燃料以保障供电。

    “这不仅仅是压垮骆驼的最后一根稻草,而是整堆干草,”亚基马学区总监特雷弗·格林说道。

    这场压力是美以对伊朗战争引发的诸多连锁反应之一,该冲突已扰乱了全球约五分之一的石油供应。

    自2月底战事爆发以来,燃料价格创下有记录以来最快涨幅之一。这一价格飙升扰乱了全球经济,在美国国内也造成了足够大的冲击,成为总统唐纳德·特朗普在11月中期选举前的政治包袱——当时他所在的共和党正试图维持其在美国国会微弱的多数席位优势。

    美国校车运营商是柴油的主要采购方,据美国学校巴士委员会数据,其年柴油消耗量超过8亿加仑。

    据车队管理技术提供商Samsara IOT.N(将在新标签页打开)近期的一项分析,自去年12月以来,美国各类车队支付的柴油价格上涨67%,至每加仑5.52美元,这将使校车运营的年度成本增加约18亿美元。

    国际学校业务官员协会执行董事詹姆斯·罗恩表示,对于本已预算紧张的学区来说,这是一项巨大挑战。

    “学区可以为成本上涨做规划,但价格的剧烈波动使得精准预算非常困难,”他说,“即便有些学区今年通过储备金或临时措施消化了成本上涨,他们未来可能不再具备这样的灵活性。”

    一项由学校总监协会(AASA)委托、5月4日当周对188名学校管理人员开展的调查显示,近三分之一的美国学区正在从其他资金或项目中抽调资金以支付上涨的燃油成本,近五分之一的学区正在动用储备金或应急基金。

    该调查结果仅提供给路透社,调查显示,学校管理人员正通过合并校车线路、执行怠速停车禁令、调整燃油采购方式、推迟维护工作、削减行政开支和人员编制来节省开支。

    “严重资金不足”

    华盛顿州亚基马学区管理人员表示,他们近期支付的柴油价格同比上涨64%,至每加仑6.30美元。格林表示,按这一价格计算,该学区运营60辆校车每年需多支付21.3万美元燃油费——大致相当于两名教师的年薪总和。

    他说,在这个以农业为主、贫困率达86%的学区,这是一项沉重负担,而该学区本就“严重资金不足”。

    与此同时,该学区首席财务官雅各布·库珀表示,学区正选择在油价下跌时零星采购,而非一次性加满3万加仑容量的柴油储罐,以此“勉强撑到年底”。

    明尼苏达州西北部锡夫里弗福尔斯公立学校总监克里斯托弗·米尔斯表示,自伊朗局势紧张以来,用于接送多达800名学生的柴油成本上涨了约30%。

    米尔斯说,该学区正努力将直接影响控制在课堂教学范围内,“但如果价格继续上涨,我们可能不得不削减对学生的支持服务”。

    即便在石油资源丰富的德克萨斯州,学校也未能幸免。韦科独立学区表示,该学区拥有80多辆校车,日均往返行程约60英里,4月初其支付的柴油价格同比上涨84%。

    压力巨大

    阿拉斯加州西南部的尤皮特学区,校车并未使用柴油,但教室供暖和社区发电机供电都依赖柴油。

    “如果无法发电,我们就无法运营学校,”尤皮特学区总监斯科特·巴拉德在阿基亚查克的办公室接受电话采访时说道。

    该学区服务550名学生,一年中大部分时间被冰封,只有很短的窗口期可以运输燃料。

    因此,学区负责人现在面临一个艰难的选择,巴拉德说:他们是锁定比去年高出近66%的价格,还是赌油价会下跌?“我们正处于一个压力巨大的境地。”

    与之形成鲜明对比的是,美国一些最大的学区部分规避了油价波动的影响。

    纽约市学区是全美人口最多的学区,其约60%的学生接送业务外包给承包商,这些合同通常会将燃油价格变动转嫁给承包商,纽约校车承包商协会主席保罗·奎因·莫里说道。

    与此同时,全美第二大学区洛杉矶联合学区多年来一直在逐步淘汰柴油动力校车。该学区发言人表示,在其约1300辆校车车队中,70%使用替代燃料或电池动力。

    “柴油价格上涨继续影响洛杉矶联合学区的交通预算;不过,该学区已通过对清洁交通的大量投资,采取了积极措施减少对化石燃料的依赖,”一位发言人说道。

    Rising diesel costs from Iran war strain US school budgets

    • Diesel fuel costs for school districts up 67% since December
    • Nearly a third of US school districts forced to shift resources
    • Impact muted in Los Angeles due to green fuels, electric buses

    LOS ANGELES, May 16 (Reuters) – Soaring diesel prices since the onset of the Iran war are draining already tight U.S. school district budgets, making it more expensive to bus students and run generators in a shock officials say they will not be ​able to afford for long.

    School districts from Yakima, Washington to Waco, Texas are tapping emergency funding reserves to keep buses running. In remote Alaska, officials are scrambling to secure enough ‌fuel to keep the lights on, according to Reuters interviews.

    “It’s more than a straw on the camel’s back, it’s like a haystack,” said Yakima Superintendent Trevor Greene.

    The stress reflects one of many knock-on impacts of the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, which has disrupted the flow of around a fifth of the world’s oil supplies.

    Since the war started in late February, fuel prices have posted one of their most rapid climbs on record. The spike has upended economies around the globe. It has caused enough pain ​in the U.S. to be a political liability for President Donald Trump ahead of November midterm elections when his Republican party is trying to maintain slim majorities in the U.S. Congress.

    U.S. school bus ​operators are major buyers of diesel, consuming more than 800 million gallons of diesel annually, according to the American School Bus Council.

    Since December, the price U.S. fleets ⁠of all types pay for diesel fuel has jumped 67% to $5.52 a gallon, an increase that would add about $1.8 billion to the annual cost of operating those school buses, according to a recent analysis by fleet ​management technology provider Samsara IOT.N, opens new tab.

    That’s a huge challenge for schools already facing tight budgets, said James Rowan, executive director of the Association of School Business Officials International.

    “Districts can plan for higher costs, but rapid swings in prices make it ​very difficult to budget accurately,” he said. “Even districts that have been able to absorb costs this year through reserves or temporary measures – they may not have that same flexibility going forward.”

    Close to a third of U.S. school districts are now siphoning money away from other funds or programs to cover their increased fuel costs, while almost a fifth are tapping reserves or rainy day funds, according to a survey of 188 school officials commissioned by the School Superintendents Association known as AASA and conducted during the week of ​May 4.

    School officials are trying to save money by consolidating bus routes, enforcing anti-idling measures, changing fuel purchasing practices, deferring maintenance work and reducing administrative spending and staffing, according to the survey, the results of which ​were shared exclusively with Reuters.

    “TREMENDOUSLY UNDERFUNDED”

    Washington State’s Yakima School District executives said the price they pay for diesel was recently up 64% year-on-year to $6.30 a gallon. At that price, the district would need to pay $213,000 more a year on fuel ‌to operate its ⁠60 buses – roughly the equivalent of salaries for two teachers, said Greene.

    That is a big burden in an agriculture-dominated school district that has a poverty rate of 86%, and which is already “tremendously underfunded,” he said.

    In the meantime, the district is making piecemeal purchases for its 30,000-gallon diesel tank on days when prices dip, instead of filling it up, as it “limps through the end of the year,” district CFO Jacob Kuper said.

    Christopher Mills, superintendent of Thief River Falls Public Schools in northwestern Minnesota, said diesel costs tied to transporting as many as 800 students are up around 30% since the Iran war began.

    The district is working to limit direct impacts on classrooms, Mills said, “but ​if the prices continue to increase we could ​be in a position of reducing support services to ⁠students.”

    Even schools in oil-rich Texas have not been spared. The Waco Independent School District, which has more than 80 buses and average round-trip routes of about 60 miles per day, experienced an 84% year-over-year increase in the price it paid for diesel in early April, the district said.

    PRESSURE-PACKED

    In Southwestern Alaska’s Yupiit School District, diesel is ​not used for buses but for classroom heat, and community generators for power.

    “If they can’t produce electricity, then we can’t run the school,” Yupiit School District ​Superintendent Scott Ballard said in ⁠a telephone interview from his office in Akiachak.

    The district, which serves 550 students, is icebound for much of the year, giving it a short window to get fuel.

    So, leaders now face a difficult choice, Ballard said: Do they lock in a price almost 66% higher than last year or gamble prices will fall? “We’re in a very pressure-packed situation.”

    At the other extreme, some of the largest U.S. school districts are partially insulated from fuel price swings.

    The New York City district, ⁠the nation’s ​largest by population, outsources about 60% of pupil transportation in arrangements that often shift fuel price changes to contractors, said Paul Quinn ​Mori, president of the New York School Bus Contractors Association.

    Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Unified School District, the nation’s second-largest, has been moving away from diesel-powered buses for years. Of its roughly 1,300-bus fleet, 70% run on alternative fuels or batteries, a district spokesperson said.

    “Rising diesel prices ​continue to impact Los Angeles Unified’s transportation budget; however, the district has taken proactive steps to reduce reliance on fossil fuels through significant investments in clean transportation,” a spokesperson said.

    【独家报道】 本周,狗仔队在西洛杉矶拍到亨特·拜登,这位前第一儿子简短回应了有关前总统乔·拜登采访录音带和所谓政府UFO文件相关诉讼的问题。

    “亨特,当司法部公布你父亲为撰写传记所做的采访录音带时,你有何看法?”一名记者在威尔希尔大道附近接近拜登时问道。

    “你在说什么?”亨特·拜登回应道。

    此次对话正值围绕前总统乔·拜登相关音频的诉讼持续进行,该音频引发了外界对拜登总统任职期间记忆力和健康状况的审视。

    此次调查审查了乔·拜登在与代笔人马克·兹沃尼策交谈时处理和讨论机密材料的情况。特别检察官罗伯特·赫尔表示,这名作者已删除相关文件,但司法部仍成功找回。

    EXCLUSIVE: Hunter Biden was spotted by paparazzi in West Los Angeles this week, where the former first son briefly reacted to questions about ongoing litigation surrounding former President Joe Biden’s interview tapes and alleged government UFO files.

    “Hunter, what do you think of the DOJ when they release your father’s interview tapes from the biography that he did?” a reporter asked as he approached Biden near Wilshire Boulevard.

    “What are you talking about?” Hunter Biden said.

    The exchange comes amid ongoing litigation seeking the release of audio tied to former President Joe Biden’s classified-documents probe, which fueled scrutiny over the elder Biden’s memory and fitness while in office.

    The probe examined Joe Biden’s handling and discussion of classified material during conversations with ghostwriter Mark Zwonitzer. Special Counsel Rob Hur said the author had deleted the files, but the Justice Department was able to recover them.

    The conservative watchdog Oversight Project sued the DOJ seeking release of audio recordings from Joe Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur. Biden has denied wrongdoing and said he cooperated fully with the probe.

    “I don’t know, man — I hadn’t heard that one,” Hunter Biden later said.

    The reporter also asked about the recently released UFO Files.

    “It’s crazy right?” Hunter Biden replied, but did not elaborate.

    Hunter Biden was also one of several recent individuals whose Secret Service protection was rescinded by the Trump administration.

  • 以色列称参与策划10月7日袭击的哈马斯指挥官已被击毙

    以色列官员周六表示,一名长期任职的哈马斯指挥官已于周五被击毙,他曾接替穆罕默德·辛瓦勒,并参与策划了针对以色列的10月7日袭击事件。

    以色列国防军在一份新闻稿中表示,伊兹·丁·哈达德是哈马斯军事翼的头目。以军称,在加沙战争期间,他“参与关押了多名人质,将他们作为人盾以防止自己被消灭”。

    据以军介绍,哈达德在哈马斯早期成立时就加入了该组织。他生前与哈马斯领导层保持着密切联系,近期还在“致力于恢复哈马斯军事翼的作战能力”。

    “这是重要的一环闭环。在我与获释人质的所有谈话中,这名元凶伊兹·丁·哈达德的名字被反复提及,”以色列国防军总参谋长埃亚尔·扎米尔中将在一份声明中说道。

    以军表示,哈达德在加沙城的一次“精准打击”中被击毙。哈达德的家人也向美联社证实了他的死讯。他的葬礼于周六在加沙城举行。

    据美联社报道,周五加沙城遭遇了两起以色列空袭:一次针对一栋建筑,另一次针对一辆车辆。巴勒斯坦红新月会萨拉亚野战医院和希法医院的卫生官员告诉美联社,这些空袭造成7人死亡、数十人受伤。哈达德的家人向美联社证实,他与另外6人一同被击毙。

    Hamas commander who helped plan Oct. 7 attacks has been killed, Israel says

    May 16, 2026 / 7:41 AM EDT / CBS News

    By Kerry Breen

    A long-serving Hamas commander who replaced Mohammed Sinwar and helped plan the Oct. 7 attacks in Israel was killed on Friday, Israeli officials said Saturday.

    Izz al-Din al-Haddad was the head of Hamas’ military wing, the Israel Defense Forces said in a news release. The IDF said he “was involved in the holding of many Israeli hostages in Hamas captivity” amid the war in Gaza and “surrounded himself with hostages to prevent his elimination.”

    Haddad joined Hamas during its early establishment, according to the IDF. He maintained close ties with Hamas leadership before his death, and recently operated “to rehabilitate Hamas’ military wing capabilities,” the Israeli army said.

    “This is an important closing of a circle. In all the conversations I had with the abductees who returned, the name of the master murderer, Iz al-Din Haddad … came up time and time again,” IDF chief of staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said in a statement.

    The Israeli army said Haddad was killed in a “precise strike” in Gaza City. Haddad’s family also confirmed his death to The Associated Press. His funeral was held in Gaza City on Saturday.

    The AP reported two Israeli strikes in Gaza City on Friday. One targeted a building and another a vehicle, the AP reported. Health officials in the Palestine Red Crescent Society’s Saraya Field Hospital and Shifa hospital told the AP seven people were killed and dozens more were wounded in the strikes. Haddad’s family told the AP that he was killed alongside six others.

  • 美国航母结束创纪录部署后回国,此次部署涵盖对伊朗作战、抓捕马杜罗行动

    美国最大、最新型的航母杰拉尔德·R·福特号将于周六返回弗吉尼亚州港口,结束近一年的海外部署。此次部署期间,该航母参与了抓捕委内瑞拉前总统尼古拉斯·马杜罗的行动、对伊朗作战,还发生过舰上火灾,且多次遭遇管道故障。

    此次部署将成为越南战争结束以来美军航母持续时间最长的一次作战部署,这艘航母也成为唐纳德·特朗普总统一系列海外军事行动的核心支点。

    对于水兵家属而言,这是期待已久的结局。过去一年里,他们的亲人频繁参与占据新闻头条的军事行动,这段经历令人揪心。
    “现在我终于可以放松下来,睡个安稳觉,重新恢复正常的作息了,”阿明尼·奥西亚斯告诉CNN。他的女儿是福特号上的航空电工。奥西亚斯表示,他计划和女儿一起外出就餐,听听她讲述此次部署的经历,好好享受父女相处的时光。

    此次部署并非一帆风顺。今年3月,福特号的洗衣区发生火灾,船员耗时约30小时才将火扑灭、清理现场并防止复燃。约600名水兵因火灾造成的损毁无法使用床铺,但无人受重伤。此次损毁导致航母在一段时间内无法提供洗衣服务,进一步加剧了船员的困境。

    这场火灾发生在部署数月后,在此之前,航母的马桶系统已多次出现故障,导致间歇性局部停运,给船员带来诸多不便,迫使航母靠港维修。

    尽管福特号在技术上十分先进,是舰队中最新型的航母,奥西亚斯仍表示,水兵家属们“始终担心会出事”。他将此次火灾列为担忧的原因之一。

    现任和前任军方官员表示,这艘耗资130亿美元的航母在美军针对伊朗和委内瑞拉的军事行动中发挥了不可或缺的作用。在委内瑞拉行动中,该航母出动战机参与抓捕任务;在伊朗局势中,该航母作为平台,一批又一批地派出战斗机投入作战。

    曾在美国海军服役26年、担任过潜艇军官的布伦特·萨德勒此前告诉CNN,福特号的电磁弹射系统可以发射从小型无人机到大型战机的各类装备,为指挥官提供了多样化的火力选择。据萨德勒介绍,美国其他10艘航母都不具备这一能力。

    福特号于去年6月离开弗吉尼亚州,横跨大西洋,最初前往地中海,随后前往挪威执行预定任务,今年1月被调往加勒比海参与抓捕马杜罗的行动。随后,该航母被紧急调往中东支援可能爆发的战争,参与对伊朗作战行动,直到本月早些时候启程返航,从地中海进入大西洋海域。

    US aircraft carrier returns home after record deployment that included Iran war, Maduro capture

    Published May 16, 2026, 5:00 AM ET / CNN

    By Sean Lyngaas

    Sailors conduct routine operations on the flight deck of the USS Gerald R. Ford while underway in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, on March 22, 2026.

    The USS Gerald R. Ford, America’s largest and newest aircraft carrier, is set to return to port in Virginia Saturday after nearly a year at sea that included participating in the capture of former Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, the Iran war, a shipboard fire, and repeated plumbing issues.

    It will go down in history as the longest operational deployment by a carrier since the end of the Vietnam War, a voyage that has seen the ship serve as a focal point for a string of President Donald Trump’s military objectives overseas.

    For families of the sailors, it’s a long-awaited end to what has been a nerve-wracking year when their service members were regularly participating in military operations that dominated the news.

    “Now I can actually relax and breath and go back to a normal sleeping pattern,” Amini Osias, whose daughter is an aviation electrician who served on the Ford, told CNN. He said he planned to go out to eat with his daughter, hear her account of the deployment and just be a dad with her.

    It was a rough journey at times. A fire broke out in the Ford’s laundry area in March that took the crew roughly 30 hours to put out, clean up and prevent from reigniting. Some 600 sailors lost access to their bunks due to the damage, but none were seriously injured. The damage meant the ship couldn’t do laundry for a stretch, adding to the challenges for the crew.

    The fire happened months into the ships’ deployment after it had already experienced repeated issues with its toilet system that resulted in intermittent partial outages, a hassle for the crew that required a port visit for repairs.

    Even though the Ford is technically advanced and the newest carrier in the fleet, Osias said, families of the sailors “still had those doubts that something can happen.” He cited the fire as a cause for worry.

    Current and former military officials say the $13 billion ship has been indispensable in the US military operations in Iran and Venezuela. For the Venezuela operation the ship launched aircraft that participated in the capture mission, and in Iran the ship served as a platform to send wave after wave of fighter jets into action.

    The ship’s electronic catapult system allows it to launch anything from small drones to big aircraft, giving commanders an array of firepower options, Brent Sadler, a 26-year veteran of the Navy and former submarine officer, previously told CNN. The other 10 US aircraft carriers don’t have that capability, according to Sadler.

    After pulling away from Virginia last June, the Ford moved across the Atlantic, initially heading to the Mediterranean and up to Norway as part of its scheduled trip before being pulled to the Caribbean for the operation to capture Maduro in January. Then the ship was ordered to rapidly make its way to aid in a potential Middle East war, where it contributed to Iran war operations, until it began heading home and passed into the Atlantic from the Mediterranean Sea earlier this month.

  • 研究:穿冷背心 六周可减脂近1公斤

    学者指出,每天接触低温会激活棕色脂肪,促使它利用体内储存的脂肪来产生热量。 (档案照片)

    (伦敦讯)英国和荷兰一项针对47名超重或肥胖者进行的实验显示,穿冷背心或每天洗冷水澡可能有助于减重。

    据《卫报》报道,英国诺丁汉大学和荷兰莱顿大学医学中心的研究人员让一半参与者每天早上穿着冷背心和腰带两小时,同时继续他们的日常生活。

    参与者把冷背心和腰带穿在薄T恤外面,里头装有凝胶冷却包,这些冷却包前一晚放在冷冻库内,能保持15摄氏度的温度。

    结果显示,这些参与者在六周后平均减重0.9公斤,而且减的几乎全是脂肪;对照组则平均增重0.6公斤。

    诺丁汉大学教授巴奇说:“每天接触低温会激活棕色脂肪,它利用体内储存的脂肪来产生热量……穿冷背心可能会促使棕色脂肪更加活跃,并对体内的脂质、血糖和炎症产生有益影响。这些因素都有助于预防心血管疾病。”

    莱顿大学医学中心的首席研究员布恩指出,这种“冷暴露”方法可作为健康饮食和运动以外的一个简单和低成本的辅助减肥方式。

    研究团队目前正进一步研究冷水淋浴是否也能带来类似效果,并希望未来能找到一种可融入日常生活的冷暴露减肥方法。
