Kevin McCarthy: 众议院议长凯文·麦卡锡宣布对总统乔·拜登进行正式弹劾调查,指控其滥用职权、妨碍司法公正和腐败。调查将集中在拜登与其子亨特与外国公司的商业往来,以及对亨特的司法调查是否存在特殊待遇等方面。 尽管共和党人进行了为期四个月的调查,但尚未发现任何明显的腐败证据。白宫则谴责这项调查是极端的政治行为。 麦卡锡此举也面临党内极右翼成员的压力,他们威胁要罢免麦卡锡的议长职位。弹劾调查对麦卡锡来说是一项考验,他需要在应对弹劾调查的同时,避免政府关门,并安抚党内极右翼成员。 Susan Davis: 正式的弹劾调查与之前的调查相比,并没有显著的不同。调查将继续由共和党人James Comer和Jim Jordan主导。共和党希望这能促使白宫更配合文件和证词的要求,但结果仍有待观察。 共和党人指控拜登与其子亨特的外国商业往来存在腐败行为,但目前尚未提供确凿证据。 参议院对弹劾的反应较为冷淡,一些共和党参议员对弹劾程序表示怀疑,认为目前缺乏足够的证据支持弹劾。参议院不太可能弹劾成功,因为民主党控制参议院,而且一些共和党参议员也对此表示怀疑。 Charles Maynes: 普京与金正恩在俄罗斯远东地区会晤,会面的主要议题之一可能是武器供应。金正恩参观了俄罗斯的航天发射设施,这暗示了俄朝两国可能在武器方面进行合作。 金正恩公开表示支持俄罗斯,并谴责西方,这进一步表明了此次会面的目的与军事合作有关。 美国认为这次会面是为了俄罗斯获取朝鲜的武器以用于乌克兰战争。俄罗斯寻求朝鲜的武器,而朝鲜则可能寻求俄罗斯的技术作为回报。俄罗斯可能对帮助朝鲜发展核计划有所顾虑,并且在对朝鲜的援助方面存在限制。 Ruth Sherlock: 利比亚德尔纳市遭遇洪灾,造成超过2000人死亡,预计死亡人数还会上升。洪灾规模巨大,破坏程度史无前例。 由于道路被切断,最初的救援工作受到阻碍。现在救援人员已经进入城市,但仍有许多人被困,超过两万人流离失所,给救援工作带来了巨大的挑战。 利比亚长期以来的冲突和政治分裂,导致基础设施薄弱,加剧了洪灾的影响。导致洪灾的溃坝,是由于缺乏维护造成的,而这场风暴的强度也与人为的气候变化有关。
