乌克兰特别反腐败检察院星期一（5月11日）晚宣布，这一检方反腐部门和国家反腐败局联手破获一个涉嫌洗钱的有组织犯罪团伙，成员包括总统泽连斯基前幕僚长叶尔马克。

新华社报道，乌克兰特别反腐败检察院在社媒平台说，该团伙涉嫌利用首都基辅附近一个高档建筑项目洗钱4亿6000万格里夫纳（约1328万新元）。

检方已对叶尔马克（Andriy Yermak）下达涉案嫌疑通知。这起案件触犯乌克兰刑法有关条款，目前正在紧急调查中。

乌克兰国际文传电讯社报道，叶尔马克向媒体表示，他暂不对特别反腐败检察院的说法发表评论，等调查结束后，他会作出回应。他称自己除了拥有一套公寓，不持有任何不动产。

叶尔马克现年54岁，曾长期担任总统办公室主任和乌方首席谈判代表，是泽连斯基的亲密盟友和重要外交助手。去年11月，涉案金额近1亿美元的乌克兰能源腐败案丑闻曝光，国家反腐败局和特别反腐败检察院对叶尔马克住所进行搜查，叶尔马克随后被迫辞职。

美参议员促特朗普与习近平会谈时 不要在造船议题让步

2026年5月12日 08:33 / 联合早报

美国两党参议员星期一（5月11日）敦促总统特朗普，在与中国国家主席习近平会晤时，坚持推进美国政府提出、旨在重振美国造船业的贸易补救措施，不要作出让步。

据路透社报道，威斯康星州民主党参议员鲍德温（Tammy Baldwin）、亚利桑那州民主党参议员凯利（Mark Kelly），以及南卡罗来纳州共和党参议员斯科特（Tim Scott）和印第安纳州共和党参议员托德·扬（Todd Young）星期一（5月11日）致函特朗普称，中国数十年来试图“摧毁美国造船业”，美国必须充分运用贸易措施加以应对。

特朗普与习近平去年10月在韩国会晤时，同意暂停对彼此船只征收报复性费用一年。此举预计可让驶往美国港口的大型中国建造船舶，每年减少约32亿美元（40.62亿新元）的相关费用。除非双方进一步同意延长暂停措施，否则美国将于11月10日恢复征收这些费用。

美国在去年4月首次宣布征收港口费用，旨在削弱中国对全球海运产业的主导地位。此前，美国一项调查认定，中国在海运、物流和造船领域的主导地位，是通过不公平做法形成的。

特朗普将于星期四（5月14日）至星期五（15日）在中国与习近平举行峰会。伊朗战争预计将成为此次峰会的核心议题，而这场战争也进一步加剧美中紧张关系。尽管特朗普政府持续施压，中国仍是伊朗石油的最大买家。

中国造船业去年三大指标连续16年保持世界第一
因美国征港口费中国船厂订单大减 今年首四个月跌三成

据路透社报道，这些参议员在信中写道：“美国正处于一个关键转折点，不能再向中华人民共和国进一步让步。”

信中也提到：“我们敦促你（特朗普）在这些谈判中保持强硬立场，与国会共同推进贸易补救措施，并推动《美国船舶法案》（SHIPS for America Act），以创造更公平的竞争环境。”

这项法案去年已分别提交美国参议院和众议院审议。法案内容包括为投资美国本土造船厂及相关生产提供税收抵免，并授权在未来十年拨款25亿美元，用于支持国内造船项目等措施。

路透社报道称，在规模1500亿美元的全球造船业中，中国所占份额已从2000年的约5%，跃升至2023年的50%以上，背后很大程度上受政府补贴推动。相比之下，曾一度占据主导地位的美国造船业，如今市场份额已萎缩至1%以下。韩国和日本则是另外两大主要造船国。

Trump administration rejects UN migration declaration, says ‘mass migration was never safe’

May 11, 2026 9:36pm EDT / Fox News

‘The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations,’ the State Department said

By Landon Mion Fox News

The U.S. ​State Department announced on Monday that it refused to back an ​International Migration Review Forum “progress” declaration, ​accusing the U.N. of efforts to “advocate and facilitate replacement immigration in the United States and across the broader West.”

The U.S. did not participate in the second International Migration Review Forum, held May 5–8 at U.N. Headquarters in New York, and will not support the declaration, the department said in a statement on Monday.

The forum is the U.N.’s main global platform for member states to review implementation of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, according to the U.N. Network on Migration. The 2026 forum was scheduled to produce an intergovernmentally agreed “Progress Declaration.”

President Donald Trump ended U.S. participation in the U.N. process to develop the Global Compact for Migration during his first term in 2017, and now the State Department says the federal government will again affirm its opposition.

The Global Compact was adopted in 2018 after the U.S. withdrew from the process. The U.N. and International Organization for Migration describe the compact as a cooperative framework intended to improve migration governance across countries.

“As Secretary Rubio said, opening our doors to mass migration was a grave mistake that threatens the cohesion of our societies and the future of our peoples,” the department’s statement reads. ” In recent years, Americans witnessed first-hand how mass immigration laid waste to our communities: crime and chaos at the border, states of emergency in major cities, and billions of taxpayer dollars funneled towards hotels, plane tickets, cell phones and cash cards for migrants.”

“Much of this was driven by UN agencies and their partners, which did not just facilitate the invasion of our country, but proceeded to redistribute our own people’s wealth and resources to millions of foreigners from the worst corners of the world,” it continued.

The department argued there was nothing safe, orderly or regular about any of this, adding that the costs “were borne primarily by working Americans forced to compete for scarce jobs, housing, and social services.”

“The UN has little to say about them,” the department wrote.

“President Trump is focused on the interests of Americans, not foreigners or globalist bureaucrats,” the statement reads. “The United States will not support a process that imposes, overtly or by stealth, guidelines, standards, or commitments that constrain the American people’s sovereign, democratic right to make decisions in the best interests of our country.”

The department concluded its statement by saying its goal is not to “manage” migration, but to “foster remigration.”

In a thread on X also announcing the move to object to the declaration, the department said UN agencies “systematically facilitated mass migration into America and Europe, even as citizens of these nations called for restrictions on migration.” It added that U.N. materials related to the Global Compact call for expanding regular migration pathways and reference “regularization” of migrants.

The International Organization for Migration says the forum is held every four years for countries to review progress and shape next steps on migration policy. IOM, which coordinates the U.N. Network on Migration, says the network includes 39 U.N. agencies working to support countries on migration issues.

The department alleged that”UN agencies – working with the NGOs they fund – established a migration corridor through Central America and to the U.S. border,” the post reads. “As the American people suffered under an unprecedented wave of mass migration, the UN was on the ground pipelining migrants to our southern border.”

“After facilitating mass migration to the United States, UN agencies condemned the deportation of illegal immigrants,” the post continued. “While the United Kingdom faced unprecedented illegal boat crossings, UN agencies condemned plans for deportations. UN officials lobbied aviation regulators to prevent the deportation of migrants – an appalling violation of the UK’s national sovereignty.”

The U.N. Network on Migration describes the compact as “non-legally binding.” A U.N.-hosted text of the compact also says it respects states’ sovereign right to determine their national migration policies and to distinguish between regular and irregular migration status.

The declaration itself says the Global Compact is a cooperative framework and acknowledges that no state can address migration alone, while also upholding the sovereignty of states.

The department pushed back on the compact’s framing of migration as “safe, orderly and regular.”

“For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies,” it wrote.

“The United States will not legitimize global compacts that enable mass migration into America or Western nations,” the post added.

U.N. materials frame the compact as a cooperative framework for issues that often cross borders, including labor migration, border management, migrant protections and development. U.N. agencies, including the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, describe the IMRF as a state-led review process with participation from relevant stakeholders.

世卫：汉坦病毒出现症状时最具传染性

世卫：汉坦病毒出现症状时最具传染性

世卫流行病学与应对分析部门负责人说，汉坦病毒潜伏期长，不要等到出现症状才隔离潜在的接触者。 （路透社）

世界卫生组织说，汉坦病毒出现症状时最具传染性，并解释了隔离接触者的必要。

法新社报道，世卫流行病学与应对分析部门负责人波兰（Olivier Le Polain）在星期一（5月11日）的一场社交媒体活动上说：“发病初期的传染性是最强的。”

暴发汉坦病毒疫情的游轮洪迪厄斯号10日抵达西班牙特内里费岛。世卫建议，游轮上的近150人全部隔离六周。这与安第斯病毒的最长潜伏期相符，约42天。

安第斯病毒是唯一已知可在人际间传播的汉坦病毒株，也是引发这波疫情的汉坦病毒株。

波兰说，平均而言，感染汉坦病毒的人大约在三周后才会开始出现症状。

他强调，重要的是不要等到出现症状才隔离潜在的接触者。他说，世卫建议隔离，是因为人们在发病初期就具有传染性，而且有时很难识别症状。

他解释说，这是因为初期症状可能轻微，比如有点疲倦，或轻微发烧，但这些症状有时会恶化。

波兰还指出，汉坦病毒的潜伏期长，“这意味着未来几天，甚至下周，我们可能会再看到更多确诊病例出现”。

“这就是为什么我们需要保持警惕，确保在出现最初迹象和症状时就能识别出来，进行隔离并治疗患者。”

包括德国、英国、瑞士、希腊在内的多个国家选择实施45天的隔离，澳大利亚和法国分别宣布了至少三周和两周的观察期，之后还可以延长。

而美国当局说，17名返回的美国的游轮乘客不一定会被隔离。世卫总干事谭德塞警告说，这“可能存在风险”。

移民船在马国西海岸倾覆 14人失踪

2026年5月12日 11:36 / 联合早报

一艘移民船在马来西亚西海岸倾覆，14人失踪，马国海事机构已启动搜救行动。

路透社报道，这艘船据信载有非法印尼移民。

霹雳州海事执法局长科托布说，星期一（5月11日）清晨，一名渔民在邦咯岛附近水域发现数十人落水，立即报警。

当地渔船救起23名印尼人，其中七名为女性，已被送到海警码头进行身份核实和接受调查。

初步调查显示，出事的船上载有37人。5月9日，他们从印尼北苏门答腊省亚沙汉县基萨兰出发，船上乘客的目的地为马来西亚多个城市，包括吉隆坡和槟城。

印尼和马来西亚之间的水道事故频发，通常涉及超载船只，船上乘客是马来西亚种植园或工厂的劳工。

移民维权人士说，估计每年有10万至20万印尼人踏上这段危险的旅程，他们往往被人口贩运团伙招募，到了马来西亚后遭受剥削。

Texas sheriff says 7th body could be tied to shipping container deaths, as ICE opens human smuggling probe

May 11, 2026 7:13 PM EDT / CBS News

A man who was found dead Monday by the railroad tracks southwest of San Antonio, Texas, is believed to be connected to the six people who likely died of heat stroke inside a shipping container near the Mexico border, according to authorities.

The body of the seventh person was located nearly 150 miles north of a Union Pacific rail yard in Laredo, where the six bodies were discovered on Sunday afternoon, Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar said Monday. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement told CBS News in a statement that the agency is investigating the deaths inside the boxcar as a potential human smuggling incident.

Salazar said investigators found the seventh person after there was an alert that one of the containers had been opened at some point over the weekend near the location.

“On these trains, there is a censor on some of the containers that alerts whenever a container’s opened,” Salazar told reporters. “Once those bodies were found in Laredo, they came back to this location here and started patrolling up and down the railroad tracks until such time that they found him.” Salazar said the container cannot be opened from the inside.

The sheriff said the train that contained the body found Monday was from Del Rio and had split up near San Antonio, with one half going to Laredo and the other to Houston, suggesting it’s possible there might have been more people in the container at some point.

“At this point, we don’t know if it was opened to let people that made it out successfully or they just opened it to dump the body,” Salazar said.

The person found Monday was identified as a man carrying Mexican identification, according to the sheriff.

Salazar said San Antonio police received a report Saturday from a relative of one of the people inside the container. The relative, who lives in another state, told police in a phone call that they received a message saying “it was getting very, very hot and they were having some physical trouble as a result of it,” Salazar said.

The sheriff said the person who sent the message is believed to be among the six who were found dead.

Webb County Medical Examiner Dr. Corinne Stern, who is conducting autopsies, said she believes the individuals originated from Mexico and Honduras. An autopsy completed for a 29-year-old Mexican woman revealed she died of hyperthermia, or heat stroke.

“I’ve ruled that an accidental death,” Stern said. “I believe that the remaining individuals probably all succumbed to heat stroke as well, but their exams are not completed at this time, so I will not rule on their cause and manner yet.”

Temperatures reached 97 degrees in Laredo on Sunday afternoon, which means it probably felt hotter than 100 degrees in the boxcar, according to CBS affiliate KENS-TV.

Union Pacific said in a statement Sunday that it was “saddened by this incident and is working closely with law enforcement to investigate.”

Members of Congress using online prediction markets? Don’t bet on it

Senate unanimously bans members from participation in recent gambling phenomenon

Senate adopts measure banning its members from betting in prediction markets

No one would have predicted it.

But you could have made a lot of money if you did.

With uncharacteristic dispatch, the United States Senate unanimously voted to ban senators and staff from playing in the prediction markets.

“This is a national security risk,” said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. “The very possibility that a member’s vote could be influenced by a bet is reason enough to slam the door shut.”

SENATE QUIETLY BANS LAWMAKERS FROM BETTING ON PREDICTION MARKETS

You can’t predict the future. But now in the Senate, you can’t even bet on it.

Especially real world events.

Like if the stock market might crash. The fate of the economy. War. Terrorism.

Or who would wear what gown at the Met Gala.

SEN DAVE MCCORMICK: PREDICTION MARKETS ARE BOOMING. WASHINGTON MUST CATCH UP

The biggest concern on Capitol Hill is potential wagering on the fate of legislation. Or the confirmation of nominees. There’s bipartisan concern that speculation in the prediction markets could tilt political outcomes.

“Engaging in any way in a prediction market or trying to place bets where we might have inside information deteriorates the confidence that our constituents have in us,” said Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio.

Moreno pushed to change the rules for senators. Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., amended Moreno’s proposal to include Senate aides.

This only applies to the Senate. For now. The House is playing catch up.

“Any place where your role in Congress has a potential for individual benefit, I think needs to be tightly controlled,” said Rep. Rob Wittman, R-Va., when asked about prospects for a similar measure in the House.

Keep in mind that under the Constitution, the House and Senate can make their own rules.

The Senate’s maneuver comes just weeks after the Feds busted a U.S. special forces solider who had access to classified information – and then bet on the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro.

Virginia U.S. Senate candidate Mark Moran placed a wager that he would run for office. Moran later made money on his own proposition after he jumped into the race.

“Our constituents have to know that our only guiding light is what’s best for our state. What’s best for the people of our states. And what’s best for the United States of America,” said Moreno.

“We must never allow Congress to turn into a casino,” said Schumer. “Just the possibility that Members could have their votes influence because of betting is a reason enough to prohibit members from meddling in the prediction markets.”

But Schumer wants prediction market prohibitions extended to the executive branch. The New York Democrat argues that the Trump Administration “shows such a troubling affinity to corruption and self-dealing.”

SENATE PASSES MEASURE BANNING LAWMAKERS FROM PREDICTION BETS

This brings us to something else from which many Congressional Democrats want to exclude the executive branch: trading stocks.

But here’s the problem. Congress has paid lip service to imposing its own ban for lawmakers and aides to stock trades. But neither the House nor Senate ever implemented an across-the-board prohibition.

It’s a stalled issue. And has been so for years.

“Send me a bill that bans insider trading by Members of Congress and I will sign it tomorrow,” instructed former President Obama during his State of the Union speech in January 2012.

“Let’s also ensure that Members of Congress cannot corruptly profit from using insider information,” proclaimed President Trump during his State of the Union message in February.

Well, it’s nearly mid-2026 and Congress still isn’t all the way there.

Late Rep. Louise Slaughter, D-N.Y., and former Rep. Brian Baird, D-Wash., were the most ardent advocates of a Congressional stock trading ban – dating back to 2006. Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, made hundreds of stock trades in 1999 and 2000. That caught Baird’s attention.

“If there is a way to make a profit on that, somebody has probably already figured out a way to do it,” said Baird, “And it’s not illegal.”

Congress finally passed the STOCK Act in 2012. It stands for “Stop Trading On Congressional Knowledge.” There was concern that lawmakers are privy to financial, economic and political intelligence. Therefore, they could buy or sell stocks on information which bordered on “insider trading.”

But the STOCK Act didn’t prohibit lawmakers from playing on Wall Street. It just required additional financial disclosures about when lawmakers and aides traded stocks.

TRUMP TAKES JAB AT PELOSI BY NAME OVER HISTORY OF CONTROVERSIAL STOCK TRADING

President Obama’s 2012 entreaty certainly helped goad lawmakers into approving the STOCK Act a few days later. But it wasn’t a ban on “insider trading” as the former president suggested. This just entailed additional transparency.

The stalemate over stock trades baffles some lawmakers.

“I don’t know why it’s been such a challenge in the House,” said Rep. James Walkinshaw, D-Va. “I think any Member saying that they should be able to trade stocks is flat out wrong. I think it degrades trust in the institution. Even for those members who are not trading on inside information.”

House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Steil, R-Wis., has a bill to curb stock trades by lawmakers.

“If you want a day trade, go to Wall Street. Come to Washington to lead this country,” said Steil.

“If you want a day trade, go to Wall Street,” House Administration Committee Chairman Brian Steil, R-Wis., said.(Jim Vondruska/Getty Images)

But that bill is marooned. It partly goes back to the Democrats’ push to extend any Congressional stock trading ban to the executive branch. That’s something many Republicans are reluctant to do.

“There is zero justification and rationale for allowing a president of any party or a vice president of any party, to be able to engage in stock trading while they have the awesome power of the presidency, vice presidency and executive branch in their hands,” said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari, D-Ariz., believes the stock trade issue is evolving. She doubts that voters will put up with market activity by her colleagues much longer.

“We know there are many colleagues who do still trade stocks. I think the American public is much more informed on this topic now. And this is very unpopular. So I do think the tide is changing and it will become untenable for any member to to be supportive of it,” said Ansari. “I think more people have more information. So what a Member of Congress was able to get away with even five years ago just is not possible today.”

Like many things when it comes to ethics in politics, it’s not necessarily impropriety. But the perception of impropriety. The public holds Congress in low esteem to start with. Many voters believe the “ruling class” has special access to information which enables them to game the system for their own economic benefit. That distrust may fester as long as Congress fails to police its own.

While we can’t predict the future, people can certainly shape it. Congress has a lot of tools at its disposal to contour that future. The question is if lawmakers are bending those fortunes in their direction.

So will Congress approve a stock trading ban? The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.

In other words, don’t bet on it.
