主持人: 美国众议院议长职位空缺导致政府瘫痪，共和党内部难以就继任者达成共识，这将严重影响对乌克兰的援助和避免政府停摆。 P.R. Walsh: 众议院议长选举竞争激烈，候选人背景和政治立场各异，最终结果难以预测。共和党内部严重分裂，这将使通过对乌克兰的援助和避免政府停摆变得更加困难。其中一位候选人Jim Jordan甚至反对向乌克兰提供更多资金。 NPR记者: 地中海移民死亡人数创纪录，偷渡者面临极高的风险，许多人死无葬身之地。偷渡者来自不同的国家，他们逃离的原因各不相同，但他们都面临着致命的危险。在救援过程中，女性还遭受性暴力，许多孕妇在海上流产或分娩。 Amid Coach: 巴基斯坦即将驱逐所有无证移民，主要针对阿富汗难民，此举与巴基斯坦和阿富汗之间的紧张关系有关。巴基斯坦缺乏有效的驱逐机制，驱逐170万阿富汗难民在实际操作上存在巨大挑战。许多阿富汗难民在巴基斯坦生活了几十年，甚至几代人都在巴基斯坦出生长大，他们将巴基斯坦视为自己的家园。

Shownotes Transcript

A House without a speaker is paralyzed to pass spending legislation, including aid to Ukraine. So who can unite Republicans behind them? More than 2,500 people have died this year while crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The reasons why they flee vary, but they all know the journey could be fatal. And starting next month, Pakistan will expel anyone without proper documentation. That includes an estimated 1.7 million Afghan migrants.Want more comprehensive analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.
