Topics
新闻播报员: 本期新闻报道涵盖了三个主要议题:特朗普的民事审判,其中他的律师将对房地产估值被夸大的指控进行辩护;南非对以色列提出的种族灭绝指控,以及美国监管机构批准的基于比特币的新型投资基金。 Andrew Bernstein: 纽约总检察长指控特朗普通过反复谎报其房产价值获利数亿美元,并要求对其进行商业禁令。法官已裁定特朗普犯有持续且反复的欺诈行为。本案还有六项待决的指控,涉及共谋、保险欺诈和伪造文件。特朗普最初表示想亲自陈述,但最终他的律师将进行陈述。 Hampi Rob Schmied: 南非在国际法院对以色列提起诉讼,指控其对巴勒斯坦人犯下种族灭绝罪,并要求法院下令停止加沙战争。南非提供的证据包括杀害大量巴勒斯坦平民(包括妇女和儿童)、强迫撤离和流离失所以及大规模破坏家园和村庄。要证明种族灭绝罪,必须证明意图。以色列最强的辩护可能是证据不足以证明其有这种意图。即使以色列在加沙的一些行为可能违反了国际人道法,也不一定构成种族灭绝,因为以色列可能会辩称这是自卫行为。 以色列总统Isaac Herzog: 哈马斯寻求摧毁以色列,而《防止及惩治灭绝种族罪公约》是在针对犹太人的种族灭绝行为之后制定的。 David Gura: 美国证券交易委员会批准了大约十几只比特币ETF,它们将于今日开始在美国证券市场交易。比特币ETF将降低投资比特币的门槛,因为人们无需使用专门的交易所和钱包。美国证券交易委员会对批准比特币ETF持谨慎态度,因为加密货币市场存在风险。 Gary Gensler: 美国证券交易委员会主席Gary Gensler对加密货币市场风险表示担忧,并强调该机构并非认可比特币或任何其他加密货币。
