Mikaela Shiffrin wins record-tying 6th overall World Cup skiing title

March 25, 2026 / 8:07 AM EDT / CBS/AP

Mikaela Shiffrin secured a record-tying sixth women’s overall World Cup skiing title by holding off a challenge from emerging German rival Emma Aicher in the final race of the season Wednesday in Norway.

Shiffrin needed only to finish in the top 15 of a giant slalom and the American standout secured that before Aicher even began her second run.

The 31-year-old American matched Austrian downhill great Annemarie Moser-Pröll, who won her six titles in the 1970s.

Moser-Pröll won five straight titles from 1971-75 then a sixth in 1979. Shiffrin won three straight from 2017-19, then back-to-back titles in 2022 and ’23.

Lindsey Vonn is third on the women’s list with four overall titles.

Marcel Hirscher leads the men’s list with eight overall titles.

It’s been another stellar season for Shiffrin, who claimed the third Olympic gold of her career by dominating the slalom at the Milan Cortina Games.

Shiffrin also won nine of the 10 World Cup slaloms this season and has a record 110 victories across all disciplines – by far the most in the World Cup by any man or woman. Ingemar Stenmark is next best with 86 wins in the 1970s and ’80s.

Last month, Shiffrin told CBS News that winning her third Olympic gold medal “does feel different.”

“Every single experience has been wildly different,”the 30-year-oldsaid, reflecting on her Olympic career that now includes four total medals.

Shiffrin’s father,Jeff Shiffrin, unexpectedly died in 2020 at the age of 65.

Her win in the women’s slalom is the first time Shiffrin has won an Olympic medal since his death.

“Winning an Olympic medal without him here was terrifying to me before I knew that it was. In Beijing, I didn’t know I was scared of that,” Shiffrin admitted.

受油价与伊朗战争冲击 特朗普支持率降创新低

2026年3月25日 21:36 / 联合早报

（华盛顿综合电）由于油价飙升，加上美国民众普遍对向伊朗开战不满，美国总统特朗普的支持率已跌至自重返白宫以来的最低水平。

路透社与民调机构益普索周二（3月24日）公布的民调结果显示，仅36%的美国人满意特朗普的执政表现，较上周调查时的40%下降了四个百分点。

随着汽油价格在美国和以色列对伊朗发起军事行动后升高，美国民众对经济现状的不满加深，仅25%的受访者认可特朗普处理生活费危机的方式。

只有29%的人认可特朗普的经济治理，这是他在两届总统任期内的最低水平，并低于前任拜登在经济方面的任何支持率。多达63%的美国人认为，当前国家经济有些或非常疲软。

与此同时，仅35%的受访者支持美国对伊朗的军事打击，低于上周的37%。

分析员说，这项民调显示特朗普面临着巨大的公众反弹。民主党策略师法拉尔指出：“这为民主党提供了重要的机会，通过聚焦于传统上共和党更关注的议题，如国家安全、经济和移民，他们或可在中期选举有更大收获。”

民主党正寻求在11月中期选举中重夺国会控制权。周二，首次参选的民主党候选人格雷戈里（Emily Gregory）打败了特朗普支持的共和党人，拿下佛罗里达州第87众议院选区，让民主党士气大振。特朗普的海湖庄园就位于这个选区。

不过，民主党的支持率并未随着特朗普民望下跌而显著上升。约38%的注册选民认为，共和党能更好地管理美国经济，更看好民主党经济掌舵能力的比率则为34%。

特朗普政府正设法缓解全球能源危机对美国人的影响。路透社引述知情者报道，美国预计最快于周三（25日）宣布，暂时取消联邦政府对夏季混合汽油的雾霾排放限制。

美国通常会在夏季使用挥发性较低的汽油配方，以减少空气污染。暂时取消减雾限制意味着，炼油商和零售商无须换用更昂贵的夏季配方汽油，从而降低燃油价格。

分析员预计，这有望使每加仑汽油的零售价降低几美分。自美伊战争爆发以来，美国汽油每加仑平均价格上涨了约1美元。

在美国人口大州加利福尼亚，柴油价格已破每加仑7美元，为历史新高。加州约20%的成品油依赖亚洲进口，因此易受大宗商品市场波动影响。

雪佛龙公司（Chevron）周二警告，由于伊朗战争，加州正滑向能源危机的边缘。公司呼吁加州政府宣布进入能源紧急状态，并放松气候和税收法规，以促进州内石油生产，否则雪佛龙可能会在10年内停止在加州炼油。

巴勒斯坦官员：美方15点停战方案已转达伊朗

发布时间 / 来源：2026年3月25日 21:49 / 联合早报

两名巴勒斯坦高级官员称，美国提出的结束伊朗战争的方案，已通过巴勒斯坦中间人转交德黑兰。

这两名巴方官员星期三（3月25日）告诉法新社说，这份旨在停止战斗的15点计划，“已通过巴勒斯坦转达给伊朗”。

不过，伊朗Press TV周三援引一名官员的话报道，伊朗已审议了美国提出的结束战争的提议，并认为条件过于苛刻。

报道称，德黑兰方面强调，只有在伊朗自主决定的时机且条件得到满足的情况下，才会结束战争。

由于巴勒斯坦与邻国伊朗和美国都保持长期的联系，并在该地区拥有密切人脉，巴勒斯坦正被视为潜在的调解方。

新华社引述伊朗学生通讯社报道称，对于美国方面被曝向伊朗提出停战协议，伊朗政府信息委员会主席哈兹拉蒂星期三说，“敌人列出了他们通过攻击无法实现的愿望”。美国向伊朗提出的15个停战协议要点，是美国总统特朗普的“又一个谎言”，“不用理会”。

以色列第12频道电视台星期二（24日）引述知情人士消息报道，美国寻求为期一个月的停火，以便与伊朗讨论这15点计划。

报道说，这份协议的要点包括美国要求伊朗承诺永不发展核武器、不在伊朗境内进行铀浓缩活动、放弃扶持代理人、开放霍尔木兹海峡并确保这条海峡为“自由海域”、限制弹道导弹的数量和射程等。作为回应，美国将解除对伊朗的所有制裁和协助伊朗发展民用核电项目等。

Husband of Nicole Amor, U.S. soldier killed in Kuwait, on what her service meant: “She was the rock for a lot of people”

March 25, 2026 / 10:40 AM EDT / CBS News

Joey Amor says his wife, Army Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor, was “the rock” and “the glue” for those around her — a role he says defined her life and service before she was killed earlier this month during the war with Iran.

“In a moment of chaos or darkness or concern or fear or uncertainty, she anchored them,” he told CBS News in an exclusive interview, adding the soldiers who served alongside Nicole “all say the same thing” about her.

Nicole, of White Bear Lake, Minnesota, was one of six Army Reserve soldiers killed in an Iranian drone strike in Kuwait on March 1, the day after the U.S. and Israel launched a massive military operation in Iran. They were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa.

Joey Amor said he became concerned when he saw news reports of an explosion that had struck a sustainment unit in Kuwait.

“When I heard it was a sustainment unit based out of Kuwait, I know enough about what’s going on over there to know there were very few left over there, I knew it was her unit,” Joey Amor said.

He said he shared his concern in his final messages to her.

“I sent her a text and I said, ‘I’m getting worried. I’m getting worried. We’re getting reports of a sustainment unit, three casualties, five injured, I’m gonna need to hear something from you today, my love.’”

About an hour and a half later, he learned she had been killed. She was just days from returning home.

“And I don’t know how to explain that to you, I don’t know how to explain knowing before you know, and then to be told what you already know, after not being able to see your person for that long,” Joey Amor said. “I can’t put that into words. That was painful.”

Nicole was buried in Minnesota last weekend, an ending Joey Amor never expected when she left for her second tour last July. When they said goodbye, his wife had said, “I’ll see you soon,” he recalled.

Asked how he explains Nicole’s death to their children, Joey Amor said he’s “been very honest with them and transparent with them.”

“You can only protect them from the truth for so long,” he continued. “And the reality is, is that there is no protecting them from the truth that their mother is gone. And so you have to handle each one differently. My daughter’s one way, my son’s a different.”

The couple had been part of each other’s lives for more than 20 years. They met while serving at Fort Eustis in Virginia and married in 2015.

When Joey Amor left the military in 2012, Nicole insisted on staying. Her service “grew into a sense of duty and a sense of responsibility, a sense of pride,” he said. It also meant “taking care of the one next to her.”

Now, Joey Amor and their children are also part of the Gold Star families, the immediate family members of service members who have died in the line of duty serving the United States.

“It is a community of people that have felt what we are feeling right now, and that are still feeling this every day,” he said. “And it’s a group of families that you respect and that we all honor as the nation, but we never truly understand the weight unless you’re a part of it.”

Joey Amor keeps replaying the last moments he shared with Nicole, as well as the final moments their two children had with their mother.

“And they were so comfortable because we thought she was safe,” he said.

As painful as it is to look back, it also hurts to look forward. But Joey Amor and their two children hope to grow an unconventional memorial: a special greenhouse in Nicole’s honor.

“It was a calming place for her,” Joey Amor said of Nicole’s love of gardening, adding: “She loved watching what it turned into…and it always took on a life of its own.”

Operation Nikki’s Embrace is raising funds for “gardens, greenhouses, community spaces, and acts of service,” according to its website, and a greenhouse will be built in Nicole’s honor.

“At the core of it is this little greenhouse that I will get to spend the rest of my life maintaining and growing,” Joey Amor said. “And I can’t be more thankful for that. It’s going to be an honor, it’s going to be a joy, it’s going to be wonderful.”

Savannah Guthrie gives first interview since mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance: “It is unbearable”

March 25, 2026 / 10:40 AM EDT / CBS News

“Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie said her family is in agony as she made a tearful plea for someone “to do the right thing” nearly two months after her mother Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Arizona home.

Savannah Guthrie is speaking out about the ordeal in her first interview, which will be airing on “Today” on Thursday and Friday.

“We are in agony. We are in agony,” an emotional Guthrie told her former co-host Hoda Kotb in a clip released Wednesday. “It is unbearable, and to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought.”

Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Tucson, Arizona, home after she was last seen on the night of Jan. 31. No suspects or persons of interest have been named in the case, but authorities have released doorbell camera images of a man wearing a mask and gloves at her door that night.

The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery. The FBI is also offering a separate reward of $100,000.

“Someone needs to do the right thing,” Savannah Guthrie said in Wednesday’s clip. She also said, “I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now.”

The Guthrie family said in a statement Sunday that they believe that people in southern Arizona “hold the key to finding resolution in this case” and urged residents to review camera footage, journal notes and text messages.

“We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of January 31 and the early morning hours of February 1, as well as the late evening of January 11,” the family said. “We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the disappearance along with the FBI, said earlier this month that various forms of evidence were being analyzed in the case. Authorities have also turned to the investigative technique of genetic genealogy to try to make the most of DNA evidence that’s been collected.

The sheriff’s department also warned people Tuesday about fundraising scams stemming from the high-profile case. The department said no GoFundMe page or any fundraising effort is associated with the investigation.

“The public is urged to remain vigilant and not send money to anyone claiming to raise funds related to this case,” the department said on social media.

高市吁国际能源署释放更多石油储备

中东冲突引发的能源短缺和价格上涨问题，正在冲击全世界，日本首相高市早苗呼吁国际能源署准备释放更多石油储备。

高市星期三（3月25日）在首相府与到访的国际能源署署长比罗尔会晤，提出必须为应对中东局势长期化协调，释放更多石油储备。

为缓和石油供应危机，国际能源署早前决定释放4亿桶战略石油储备，规模为历来最大。比罗尔回应高市时说：“我们仍保有80%的储备。这4亿桶只占我们储备的20%。如有必要，我们随时准备继续行动，但我希望不会走到那一步。”

过去三周，日本汽油价格每升上涨了近60日元（约0.5新元），这是以往的石油危机或波斯湾战争期间未曾出现过的。日本几乎完全依赖进口石油，为应对当前危机，高市政府除了释放国内石油储备外，也要补贴汽油及其他产品。

日本财长片山皋月宣布，将动用取消临时汽油税前设立的基金中剩余的约3000亿日元用于补贴。该基金用完之后，将动用灾害应急储备基金中的约8000亿日元。提供补贴虽然能降低油价，但财源不足是一大问题。报道称，这最终可能导致高市政府不得不发行赤字债券。

压力过大 高市健康亮红灯

中东紧张局势使高市倍感压力，《新潮杂志》发文说，高市近期因压力过大，健康亮红灯。

高市年轻时烟瘾就很大，据报她告诉周围的人说：“最近因为压力太大，烟抽得更多了，无法戒烟。”日本官员担忧，高市继续抽烟会导致她的慢性类风湿性关节炎老毛病加重。目前，她是依赖药物控制病情，但吸烟会降低药物的疗效。

高市在国会里有几次状态不佳，最明显的一次是本月12日。那天她参加了长达七小时的国会审议，期间只休息了一次。到了会议接近尾声时，她的声音已变得沙哑。会议结束后，她站不起来。

有一天，她因为忍不下去，步履沉重地离开了委员会会议室，返回首相官邸接受医务人员的检查，并缺席了当天的一场饭局。

此外，在国会开会期间，她一天只睡两三个小时。早餐吃得少，午餐时间从不见她外出就餐。午休时间也只是躺在办公室的沙发上。

《新潮杂志》引述日本政治记者消息说，首相办公室内部已开始流传“高市政府最终会否因健康问题垮台”的谣言。还有人在猜测，她会否跟前首相安倍晋三第一次执政时一样，因健康问题而辞职。

Trump 2.0’s Education Department unleashes top 5 most striking ‘wins’ against gender, DEI extremism

[Watchdog group exposes Idaho colleges’ alleged scheme to sidestep new DEI law]

As the Goldwater Institute demands that Idaho’s attorney general launch an investigation into a new anti-DEI law, an attorney for the group exposed how four universities in the state have allegedly schemed to sidestep the law’s provisions.

A little over a year after Donald Trump took office for the second time and began going after what he described as “discriminatory” diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices, including gender extremism and racial preferences in education, his administration is touting several “wins” it says are shifting the culture war on college campuses and beyond.

More than 300 colleges and universities have rooted out DEI, according to numbers in a Department of Education press release laying out various “wins” against DEI during President Trump’s second term. Other numbers the administration shared showed 45 colleges and universities have also removed DEI statements and messaging from university programs or websites, at least 15 have eliminated the use of diversity statements in hiring faculty or staff, at least 95 have either eliminated, renamed or shifted staff or faculty positions related to DEI, at least 175 have removed or restructured their current DEI offices, and over a half-dozen recently abandoned racially segregated graduation ceremonies.

Furthermore, College Board, best known for administering standardized tests like the SAT, revised criteria for their National Recognition Program, which the Department of Education says favored racial groups and awarded scholarships disproportionately to students from underrepresented ethnic groups.

Here are five more striking DEI “wins” the Trump administration has had since the beginning of the president’s second term:

1. UPenn agreed to apologize, restore women’s records and bar males from women’s sports and intimate facilities

After finding UPenn violated Title IX, the department announced in early July that it had got the school to sign a resolution agreement requiring UPenn to restore individual women’s swimming records and titles, issue a public compliance statement, adopt biology-based definitions of “male” and “female” and send personalized apology letters to affected female swimmers. The move stripped transgender swimmer Leah Thomas of her 2022 national title, according to UPenn’s records.

“From day one, President Trump and Secretary McMahon vowed to protect women and girls, and today’s agreement with UPenn is a historic display of that promise being fulfilled. This administration does not just pay lip service to women’s equality: it vigorously insists on that equality being upheld,” said Riley Gaines, the former University of Kentucky swimmer who competed against Thomas. “It is my hope that today demonstrates to educational institutions that they will no longer be allowed to trample upon women’s civil rights, and renews hope in every female athlete that their country’s highest leadership will not relent until they have the dignity, safety, and fairness they deserve.”

2. Education Department found California violated federal law by helping schools hide students’ gender transitions from parents

Earlier this year, the Education Department Student Privacy Policy Office found the California Department of Education to be in “continued violation” of the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), a federal law granting parents access to their child’s school records.

The announcement was followed by the U.S. Supreme Court intervening in a case this month, when they sided with parents who were challenging California law that allowed staff to hide students’ gender transitions from their parents.

“Gender dysphoria is a condition that has an important bearing on a child’s mental health, but when a child exhibits symptoms of gender dysphoria at school, California’s policies conceal that information from parents and facilitate a degree of gender transitioning during school hours,” the court’s decision read. “These policies likely violate parents’ rights to direct the upbringing and education of their children.”

Meanwhile, at least 20 university-affiliated hospitals have ended or suspended puberty blockers, hormone therapies, gender transition surgeries or other transgender care for minors, according to the Education Department.

3. Trump admin found Colorado school district to have violated Title IX for allowing males in girls’ bathrooms, locker rooms, overnight accommodations and sports

Trump’s Education Department entered into another resolution agreement with the Jefferson County Public Schools District in Colorado after it found that the district was allowing transgender students access to female bathrooms, locker rooms, overnight accommodations and to compete in female sports.

According to the department, the district committed to rescinding or revising any policies that allowed male students to use female intimate facilities, share overnight accommodations with them or compete in female sports. The district must also issue and prominently post a public statement committing to Title IX compliance using biology-based definitions of “male” and “female,” stating Title IX applies regardless of state law or sports governing-body rules, and explaining how students can report or file sex-discrimination complaints.

4. Education Department secures 31 agreements with colleges and universities to end partnership with nonprofit recruiting pipeline that Trump said provided racial advantages

Trump’s Department of Education secured 31 resolution agreements with universities and colleges who were partnering with The Ph.D. Project, an organization that helps hopeful doctoral students get into programs. The department’s Office of Civil Rights found the program “unlawfully limits eligibility based on the race of participants.”

“After initiating investigations several months ago into forty-five institutions of higher education for collaborating with the Ph.D. Project, OCR later determined that these institutions violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI) by partnering with an organization that discriminates on the basis of race,” a February press release from the department states.

5. NCAA updates transgender athletic participation policy to keep men out of women’s sports

In Feb. 2025, the NCAA revised its transgender participation rules to restrict the women’s category to student-athletes assigned female at birth, barring athletes assigned male at birth from competing on women’s teams, though they are still allowed to practice with women’s teams and receive related benefits. The men’s category remains open to all eligible athletes, and the change took effect immediately on Feb. 6, 2025.

“Just over a year ago, we saw men claiming victories in women’s athletics. Colleges and universities were focused more on diversity, equity, and inclusion than ensuring graduates were prepared for success in life after graduation,” a Trump administration fact sheet on “wins” during the president’s second term stated.

“Institutions required DEI statements from faculty and held segregated affinity graduation ceremonies for students. Academic standards fell, admissions were skewed to favor race over merit, and students graduated with a massive pile of debt and degrees that led to no job prospects,” the sheet continues. “Today, institutions of higher education are changing the game because President Trump is bringing back America’s Golden Age — shifting the culture and restoring our nation’s institutions to greatness.”

In the fact-sheet, the Trump administration also touted an end to “test-optional admissions” at “dozens” of colleges and universities, including several Ivy League campuses and others that it says are reinstating SAT and ACT admissions requirements.

Some Iranians who hoped war would bring positive change tell CBS News they now feel “doomed”

March 25, 2026 / 11:33 AM EDT / CBS News

Before the U.S. and Israel launched their joint attacks on Iran 25 days ago, many Iranians said they would welcome foreign intervention if it meant the end of the Islamic Republic. The regime, in power for 47 years, had just crushed a huge wave of anti-government demonstrations, with President Trump claiming more than 30,000 were killed and vowing to come to the rescue of the protesters.

Now, two Iranians — one inside and one outside the country — tell CBS News the feeling of optimism has shifted markedly after more than three weeks of war.

“If we had a world situation where Europe and the rest of the world was more orchestrated and together, collectively, with a plan that combined a number of things, both force and diplomacy and sanctions and discussions, all kinds of things — long-term plan — then that could have worked with this regime,” said Reza, a British-Iranian whose name CBS News has changed to protect his identity. “But to just have one or two countries, you know, unilaterally going in without a proper plan? It’s never gonna work. So that’s why I think people are waking up to that rude awakening, realization, that they’re doomed, basically.”

Reza, who is in the U.K., said he’s spoken with many other Iranians in the diaspora who feel the same.

Iran is “really playing the upper hand on Trump, in that they realize he doesn’t have a strategy. So they’re really using that to their advantage to gain more strength and more forward planning with the Strait of Hormuz, and suffocating the world, because they know that’s where the weakness of the whole entire world is, basically,” Reza said.

Inside Iran, Amir — whose name has also been changed to protect his identity — echoed the sentiment.

“Many people that were pro-war, and they supposed war could be liberator, liberate them from the despotism in Iran and theocratic despotic regimes, now they are thinking twice and revising, and they are reaching for any moment ceasefire, no matter who is the boss. No matter who is the king,” Amir said. “Anything that can say ‘okay, enough is enough and there is a ceasefire until further notice.’”

Amir said he was anticipating “hellish weeks to come,” with both the Iranian regime and the Trump administration falling back, in his view, on “brinkmanship.”

Meanwhile, opposition groups in Iran “do not have [a] viable and functional coalition to move even a finger,” Amir said, casting doubt on calls by the Trump administration and Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Iranians to take advantage of the ongoing strikes to rise up and topple the regime from within.

In Amir’s view, it appears that Mr. Trump “cannot find an exit door from the mess.”
