强烈热带风暴“蔷薇”（Jangmi）星期二（6月2日）吹袭日本西南部，导致数万户家庭停电、数百趟航班取消，并造成至少九人受伤。

法新社报道，日本气象厅警告，风暴可能引发巨浪、山体滑坡及水灾。原为台风的“蔷薇”星期一（1日）掠过亚热带岛屿冲绳后，已减弱为强烈热带风暴，并持续向北移动。

截至星期二早上，日本西半部鹿儿岛县约3万户家庭停电，冲绳县另有约1万7000户停电。

内阁秘书长木原稔说，冲绳已有九人因风暴受伤。日本广播协会（NHK）报道，部分伤者是因强风吹起物件撞击车辆，或被强风吹倒跌伤。

木原也警告，随着风暴继续北上，东京及周边地区星期三（3日）公共交通或出现延误与中断。他呼吁可能受影响地区居民密切留意地方政府发布的疏散通知，并尽早撤离。

日本两大航空公司全日空和日本航空透露，星期一至星期三期间合计取消约600趟航班。

After several artists drop out of Freedom 250 concerts, Vanilla Ice says he’d “play for anybody” including Putin and Iran

After several artists dropped out of a Washington, D.C., concert series organized by Freedom 250, rapper Vanilla Ice said he will still be on the bill, telling CBS News on Monday he would perform for anyone, including Russian President Vladimir Putin or Iran.

The rapper, whose real name is Robert Van Winkle, told CBS News, “It’s simple as a pimple for me, there’s nothing to it. It’s the birthday of America.”

“Two hundred and fifty years. It’s not anything to do with politics. I don’t know why they’re turning it into politics,” Van Winkle said, adding he’s “never voted in my life.”

After the lineup was announced Wednesday, several artists — including Morris Day and the Time, Young MC and The Commadores — said they were backing out. Bret Michaels and Martina McBride also announced they would not be performing in the following days.

Several artists said they were misled about the organizers of the event, with Young MC writing: “Despite the claims by the organizers that the event is non-partisan, SPIN magazine describes it as Trump-backed.”

Freedom 250 — an organization launched last year following an executive order from President Trump to provide “a grand celebration worthy of the momentous occasion of the 250th anniversary of American Independence” — maintains that it and the events it is organizing are nonpartisan, saying in a previous statement it is “dedicated to uniting Americans around the nation’s 250th anniversary.” According to the executive order, Mr. Trump serves as the chair of the task force created to organize the celebrations. Freedom 250 and Task Force 250 are separate from a 2016 bipartisan commission created to help plan celebrations for the 250th anniversary.

The Great American State Fair, according to Freedom 250, will run from June 25 to July 10 on the National Mall, and will include “state and territory pavilions celebrating all 56 states and territories, specialty exhibits, live performances, interactive experiences, and classic fair attractions.”

Van Winkle said he understood why other artists would back out if they feel the event is too political and are “scared” of social media backlash, but added, “For me, I’m just here to celebrate the country I was born in.”

Van Winkle also brushed aside other artists’ accusations that they were misled.

“When I play events, I never ask about them,” he told CBS News. “I just go, ‘Where am I going?’ I don’t even know and I don’t even care, because I have fans and they have booked me to play a show.”

Asked if he felt it was possible to separate art from politics, Van Winkle said, “Heck yeah. They should never be in there.”

“You should do whatever you feel like doing and express yourself. That’s what music is,” he said.

Van Winkle, who has previously performed at Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club, said he’d play for Democratic politicians as well.

“I’d go play for anybody,” he said. “Putin. Whoever. You want — I’d go to Iran. Don’t matter.”

“You can’t pick your fans. They pick you,” Van Winkle added. “You’re just an entertainer. Don’t ever try to think you’re anything beyond that.”

中东危机恐让香蕉从日本餐桌消失

2026年6月2日 10:55 / 联合早报

霍尔木兹海峡危机冲击日本，使香蕉供应拉响50年来最严重警报。 （档案照）

日本面临近50年来最严重的香蕉供应短缺，民众担心未来恐怕有钱也未必买得到香蕉。

彭博社报道，日本进口香蕉时通常仍处于青绿色状态，之后须利用乙烯气体催熟后才能上市销售。但霍尔木兹海峡持续受阻，令全球约五分之一石油供应受到影响，日本石脑油供应趋紧，连带冲击乙烯生产，令依赖进口香蕉的日本面临供应压力。

日本逾九成原油依赖进口。数据显示，日本石脑油（naphtha）库存自今年初以来已减少约四分之一。石脑油是生产乙烯的重要原料，而乙烯则是催熟香蕉所需的关键气体。

日本去年进口约100万公吨香蕉，是当地最重要的日常水果之一。日本香蕉进口商协会秘书长明石英治指出，这是过去50年来最严重的一次香蕉供应短缺。

他说：“价格可能会上涨，但我们正尽一切努力避免出现短缺。整个香蕉行业都致力于维持供应稳定。”

目前，日本超市的香蕉供应仍大致正常，部分进口商也已锁定未来两至三个月所需的乙烯供应。不过，燃料、包装和运输等与石化产业相关的成本持续上升，正对零售业者造成压力。

政府数据显示，日本家庭2025年平均在香蕉上的支出约为5200日圆（约42新元）。东京地区香蕉零售价格2025年上涨4.4%，较2022年累计上涨超过30%。

负责处理日本约三成进口香蕉的果品企业Farmind指出，香蕉若没有乙烯催熟，将无法变软或产生甜味，最终腐烂。相比之下，鳄梨和奇异果同样需要乙烯催熟，但用量远低于香蕉。

除了乙烯供应吃紧外，石脑油短缺的影响也已扩散至其他产业。日本零食巨头卡乐比（Calbee）因用于印刷包装的油墨树脂同样来自石脑油，已开始将旗下薯片等产品改用黑白包装。

分析指出，日本缺乏本土石油资源，也没有国际输油管道可缓冲海运中断带来的冲击，因此海峡受阻迅速波及国内高度专业化的石化供应链，并逐渐影响一般民众日常消费。

面对市场忧虑，日本政府试图安抚企业和消费者。首相高市早苗指出，日本目前拥有足够石脑油库存，可满足国内需求直至2027年。

这场供应危机也迫使日本水果熟成企业加快寻找替代方案。

美国弗吉尼亚州企业Catalytic Generators生产的乙烯发生器，可利用玉米等原料制造乙烯，而非依赖石化来源。目前该公司已开始向日本企业供应相关设备，并正积极寻找当地经销商。

Farmind则表示，公司乙烯库存正逐渐减少，目前正积极寻求新的国内及海外供应来源。公司发言人透露，部分相关成本已上涨近10倍。

发言人警告：“如果这种情况持续下去，香蕉可能会从日本人的餐桌上消失。”

伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队称，在美军于阿曼湾对伊朗船只发动袭击后，革命卫队海军采取报复行动，发射巡航导弹击中一艘与美国和以色列相关的货船。

据伊朗塔斯尼姆通讯社等媒体报道，伊朗伊斯兰革命卫队星期一（6月1日）发布声明称，革命卫队海军采取报复行动，发射巡航导弹击中一艘与美以相关的货船。

不过，并未提及船只受损情况以及是否有人员伤亡。

Border Patrol chief resigns, praises secure border under Trump

Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks announces his immediate resignation, ending a 37-year career with claims of achieving the ‘most secure border’ in U.S. history under the Trump administration. Banks oversaw the deployment of razor wire and state troopers in Texas. His departure leaves the CBP and ICE operating unfunded, raising questions about future border security efforts.

The Trump administration has selected a veteran Border Patrol official with more than 26 years of service to lead the agency following the resignation of former Chief Mike Banks.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced Monday that Rosario “Pete” Vasquez will serve as the next chief of the U.S. Border Patrol, overseeing nearly 20,000 agents and professional staff operating across the country.

Vasquez most recently led the Border Patrol’s Blaine Sector in Washington state, overseeing operations along the U.S.-Canada border and coordinating with federal, state, local, tribal and international partners.

CBP Commissioner Rodney S. Scott praised the appointment, calling Vasquez “a Border Patrol agent’s agent.”

“He has spent more than two decades leading from the front, earning the respect of the workforce, and delivering results in some of the most challenging operational environments in the country,” Scott said in a statement. “He understands what this mission demands because he has lived it. There is no one better suited to lead the United States Border Patrol into its next chapter.”

Vasquez succeeds former Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks, who announced his retirement in May after leading the agency during President Donald Trump’s second administration.

Banks told Fox News last month that he was stepping down after helping oversee what he described as a dramatic turnaround in border security.

“I feel like I got the ship back on course from the least secure, disastrous, chaotic border to the most secure border this country has ever seen,” Banks told Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin at the time. “Time to pass the reins, 37 years, it’s time to enjoy the family and life.”

As chief, Vasquez will be responsible for leading Border Patrol operations across nearly 7,000 miles of international land borders and approximately 2,000 miles of coastal waters.

According to CBP, Vasquez has served in a variety of operational and leadership roles throughout his career, including assignments along the southwest and northern borders, at CBP headquarters and in international postings.

His résumé includes service with the Border Patrol’s Search, Trauma, and Rescue Unit, the agency’s Special Operations Group and CBP’s Office of Anti-Terrorism. He also served as director of the Alliance to Combat Transnational Threats, assistant attaché for CBP in Canada and acting executive director within CBP’s Office of Trade.

The appointment comes as Border Patrol officials continue focusing on efforts to combat transnational criminal organizations, disrupt human smuggling and narcotics trafficking networks and strengthen border security operations.

“It is the honor of a lifetime to serve as chief of the United States Border Patrol, and I’m grateful for the trust placed in me by President Trump, Secretary Mullin, and Commissioner Scott,” Vasquez said. “Our agents have never backed down from a challenge, and neither will I. As chief, my focus is clear: support our agents, strengthen our operational capabilities, and ensure the U.S. Border Patrol remains the most effective border security force in the world.”

Established in 1924, the U.S. Border Patrol is one of the nation’s largest federal law enforcement organizations and serves as the primary agency responsible for securing America’s land borders.

South Carolina store owner acquitted of murder in 2023 killing of Black teen wrongly suspected of shoplifting

June 1, 2026 9:38 PM EDT / CBS/AP

A South Carolina jury on Monday found a store owner not guilty of murder in the 2023 shooting of a Black 14-year-old.

Chikei Rick Chow, 61, who is Asian, shot Cyrus Carmack-Belton in the back after chasing him from his convenience store in Columbia, but maintained he acted to defend his son. The killing sent waves of anguish and grief through the African American community in Richland County, where nearly half the population is Black.

After the verdict was read, sobs and cries of distress could be heard coming from Carmack-Belton’s family seated in the gallery. Chow sat silently frozen before slowly bowing his head onto his interlocked hands.

Prosecutors and a defense lawyer in closing arguments painted different pictures of the 2023 shooting. Prosecutors said Chow acted in anger because he wrongly thought the teen had stolen four bottles of water from the store. A defense lawyer said Chow fired to defend his son, Andy Chow, only after the teen pointed a gun at him.

“This case is not about a shoplifter. This case is about a father who sees a gun pointed at his son and had to make a decision,” defense attorney Shaun Kent told jurors during closing arguments. The defense attorney said Andy Chow testified that Carmack-Belton pointed a gun at him.

Prosecutors acknowledged Carmack-Belton had a semiautomatic pistol, but they say it fell on the ground during the chase, and he never threatened anyone with it. Prosecutors said Chow chased the teen more than 130 yards from the store.

Solicitor Byron E. Gipson told jurors that Chow “chased a kid down, shot him in the back.”

There was no indication that the teen and Chow had a fight in the store before Carmack-Belton ran away, Richland County Coroner Nadia Rutherford said at the time. She also confirmed the teen died from a gunshot wound to the right lower back, “consistent with someone who was running away.”

During closing arguments, Gipson placed a bottle of water before the jurors. Gipson said that Chow “at the end of the day, believed that a human is not more than that.”

Gipson said multiple witnesses testified that they didn’t see anything in Carmack-Belton’s hands and didn’t see him point a gun as he ran from the store.

“Nobody testified that happened that doesn’t have the last name Chow,” Gipson said.

The fatal shooting prompted vigils and protests outside the store. Empty water bottles were arranged to spell out “Cyrus” at one 2023 vigil.

Years before the shooting, Chow shot a shoplifter and opened fire on the vehicle of another shoplifter in separate encounters at his Xpress Mart Shell station, CBS News previously reported. Officials said the earlier incidents were cases of self-defense.

Officials said officers responded to hundreds of calls for help at Chow’s store between 2018 and 2023, including calls about assaults, larceny, shoplifting, motor vehicle theft, vandalism, robbery, and burglary.

澳洲宣布从7月起将最低工资上调4.75%，惠及约300万名劳动者，但涨幅低于工会诉求，反映当局在通胀高企、经济放缓与保障低薪群体购买力之间寻求平衡。 （路透社）

澳大利亚宣布，从7月1日起将最低工资上调4.75%，使最低周薪增至1004.90澳元（约919新元），最低时薪提高至26.44澳元（约24.2新元）。这项决定将影响全澳约300万名劳动者。

路透社报道，澳洲公平工作委员会（Fair Work Commission）星期二（6月2日）指出，这一涨幅大致与澳洲央行预测的通胀水平相符，旨在确保低薪员工的实际收入不低于去年同期水平。不过，最终涨幅仍低于工会此前提出的5%至6%加薪诉求。

公平工作委员会在声明中说，澳洲央行持续收紧货币政策，无疑将拖慢未来一年的经济增长；同时，伊朗战争扰乱全球石油供应，也导致通胀压力加剧。

委员会指出，综合考虑各种因素后，在当前充满不确定性的环境下，为员工提供实际工资增长既不现实，也并非负责任的做法。但委员会认为，至少应确保员工的实际收入不会低于去年7月时的水平，并应采取额外措施保障最低薪资劳动者的处境。

数据显示，澳洲今年第一季度消费者物价通胀率为4.1%，预计第二季度将升至4.8%的高点，明显高于澳洲央行设定的2%至3%目标区间。

为应对能源价格上涨带来的通胀压力，澳央行今年已三度加息，将利率提高至4.35%，扭转了2025年的宽松货币政策。

高利率对经济的抑制效应正逐渐显现。多项对利率敏感的经济数据显示，澳洲消费需求正在降温，包括4月份家庭支出下滑、房价趋于持平，以及失业率略有上升。

市场目前预期，澳洲央行7月再次加息的可能性仅约6%。掉期市场定价显示，投资者预计2026年累计加息幅度约为21个基点，相当于不足一次0.25个百分点的常规加息。

SANTA FE, N.M., May 26 (Reuters) – New Mexico legislators probing Jeffrey Epstein on Monday said they have issued ​their first subpoenas, calling for evidence on the late ‌sex offender from 14 entities including federal law enforcement agencies, the state governor’s office and a Santa Fe scientific institute.

The New ​Mexico Truth Commission, in its second meeting since it ​was set up in February, also heard testimony from ⁠Rachel Benavidez, a survivor of alleged sexual abuse at ​Epstein’s New Mexico ranch, as well as family members of ​the late Virginia Giuffre, another survivor.

The commission was established following the Justice Department’s release of millions of Epstein-related files that shed new light on ​activities at the ranch.

State Representative Andrea Reeb, a member ​of the bi-partisan committee, said the investigation would seek information on how ‌state ⁠and federal agencies failed with regards to Epstein before subpoenaing individuals.

“Let’s say, for example, we decide to pull in the former attorney general, we need to have that information ​of what ​their office has ⁠in order to properly question them,” Reeb told reporters after the meeting.

Among those the ​Truth Commission subpoenaed were Deutsche Bank, the FBI, ​the New ⁠Mexico Department of Justice, the New Mexico State Land Commission, the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office and the Santa Fe ⁠Institute, ​a scientific foundation in the state’s ​capitol, according to New Mexico Representative Andrea Romero, chair of the group.
