乔·拜登: 我认为任何一个理性的人,只要看看亨特案件的事实,都会得出这样的结论:亨特之所以被单独针对,仅仅是因为他是我的儿子。我赦免了他,因为我相信他受到了不公平的对待。 玛雅·吉拜利: 叙利亚反对派武装在阿勒颇的攻势出乎意料,多年来一直处于僵持状态的战线突然被突破。这对于阿萨德总统来说是一个艰难的时刻,因为他未能收复北部叛乱地区,并且面临来自以色列的压力。这场冲突的进一步发展以及对整个地区的影响仍有待观察。 玛丽安娜·帕拉加: 巴拿马运河的扩建项目将淹没数百个家庭的居住地,当地居民对此表示强烈反对。他们担心搬迁后无法继续务农,生活水平会下降。政府应该倾听居民的诉求,寻找更合适的解决方案。 尼维迪塔·巴塔查吉: 低地球轨道上的太空垃圾数量急剧增加,对卫星运行和宇航员安全构成严重威胁。目前缺乏有效的空间交通管理系统,各国需要合作,制定相应的规章制度,以确保太空安全。SpaceX的Starlink卫星星座已经采取了一些主动措施,但仍需进一步努力。
