澳洲以国安为由 终止两大学与中国合作项目

（悉尼讯）澳大利亚近期以可能存在国家安全风险为由，要求两所大学终止与中国机构的合作。

据《海峡时报》报道，澳洲外长黄英贤8月10日正式下令终止澳大利亚国立大学与山东大学一项已持续九年的理科本科生交流协议。黄英贤也下令昆士兰大学终止与中国科学院的一项联合研究项目。这一项目研究如何利用澳洲本土的刺树（stinging tree）提取的蛋白质来缓解疼痛。

虽然黄英贤没有说明作出这些决定的具体原因，只表明这是为了保护敏感研究、国家自主能力和国家安全，但据知情人士透露，澳洲政府是依据情报机构提供的安全建议采取上述行动。

这相信是澳洲联邦政府首次依据《外交关系法》，直接干预并终止澳洲大学与中国大学的合作。

澳洲南十字星大学研究安全专家沃克-芒罗分析指出，澳洲国立大学与山东大学合作项目被取消，可能与美国7月底把山东大学列入“从事有问题活动的外国机构”名单有关。澳洲战略政策研究所曾警告，山东大学与中国工程物理研究院保持联系，而后者是中国负责核武器研发和测试的核心机构。

昆士兰大学项目被取消的原因则较难理解，他估计可能是有关方面担心研究项目中的蛋白质可能被武器化，用于人群控制或作为化学战剂。

不过，一些分析人士对联邦政府这一强硬举措表达深切担忧，担心一味地推开中国这个全球科研大国，最终损害的是澳洲自身的科学创新能力。

悉尼科技大学澳中关系研究院院长劳伦森说：“澳洲是个相对较小的经济体，它与全球科学前沿保持联系的唯一途径就是通过合作……2026年有越来越多最优秀的科学研究是在中国进行。如果我们被引导远离这些合作，风险在于澳洲将与全球科学前沿失去联系。”

Missouri governor blasts court decision blocking state’s congressional map

A major midterm shakeup unfolds as the Missouri Supreme Court blocks the state’s new congressional map despite its use in primaries where over 1.2 million citizens voted. Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss the ruling, which President Trump called a ‘dark day.’

Missouri Attorney General Catherine Hanaway on Friday filed an emergency appeal urging the U.S. Supreme Court to allow the new congressional map backed by President Donald Trump and other Republican leaders to be used in November’s midterm election.

The appeal comes after Missouri’s high court blocked the redistricting map and ordered a statewide vote in November on whether to keep it.

Hanaway asked the U.S. Supreme Court to halt the state high court’s decision immediately.

“We have just appealed yesterday’s catastrophic ruling to the Supreme Court of the United States. We look forward to the Court’s prompt review of this critical matter, as our ability to hold timely and lawful congressional elections hangs in the balance,” Hanaway, a Republican, said in a statement.

State law sets a Tuesday deadline to make changes to the November ballot. U.S. Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who hears appeals of cases from the region and can decide alone or refer to the full court, asked opponents of the new map to respond to the appeal by Monday.

The Missouri high court ruling on Thursday was among the latest rulings in a national redistricting battle backed by Trump. The GOP had aimed to use Missouri’s new congressional map to help win an additional seat and hold onto its slim House majority.

The state Supreme Court ruled that the referendum petition, filed in December after opponents submitted more than 300,000 signatures, prevented the new districts from taking effect unless approved by voters.

Republican Secretary of State Denny Hoskins waited until primary Election Day last month to reject the petition, arguing that Missouri’s constitution does not allow referendum petitions on congressional redistricting. A lower court sided with Hoskins, but the state Supreme Court overturned his decision.

“The referendum petition was legal, sufficient, and timely, and the secretary incorrectly concluded otherwise,” the court said in its ruling. The measure with the new districts “did not go into effect and will not go into effect unless and until approved by the voters.”

Missouri’s new districts were used in the primaries last month, but the state Supreme Court said they cannot be used again unless voters first uphold the new districts passed by the GOP-controlled legislature and signed by Republican Gov. Mike Kehoe last September.

Now, the congressional map adopted after the 2020 census “remains in full force and effect for the November 2026 general election,” the court said.

Five of the seven current justices on the Missouri Supreme Court, including the chief justice, were appointed by Republican governors.

Hanaway said no other court has ordered congressional maps after a primary but before a general election.

“No court in American history has ever given such an extraordinary remedy, which inflicts unprecedented chaos on Missouri,” her office wrote in the appeal. “Looking forwards, the State is genuinely unsure whether it can switch its governing congressional map in time to run a timely federal election.”

Congressional districts are typically redrawn at the start of each decade, based on new census data, but Trump’s mission to tip the scales in favor of Republicans in the midterm election sparked a mid-decade redistricting battle that spread to more than a dozen states across the nation.

Trump called Thursday’s ruling “ridiculous” and argued it was unconstitutional, saying there will not be enough time to change the map before November’s elections. Missouri’s governor said he is “extremely disappointed” in the decision “by unelected judges and their lack of respect for the legislative process.”

The new Missouri map targeted longtime Democratic Rep. Emanuel Cleaver’s Kansas City-area district by shifting it eastward to include rural right-leaning voters. The map was intended to make Cleaver’s district more favorable to Republicans, who hoped it would produce a 7-1 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation.

“More than 305,000 Missourians demanded a say in who will represent them in the halls of Congress,” Cleaver said on Thursday. “Despite the cynical and deeply shameful attempt to silence many of our neighbors, the people fought back and won. This reaffirms that the people should choose their politicians, not the other way around. Democracy prevails.”

联大通过决议改用新世界地图 美国反对非洲“变大”

联合国议决改用2018年推出的“等积地球投影”，新地图可让各洲的面积更接近现实。 （法新社）

（纽约综合电）联合国大会星期五通过一项由多个非洲国家主导的决议，不再采用自16世纪沿用至今的墨卡托世界地图，改用能更准确反映各洲实际面积的世界地图。

共有164个国家在星期五（9月4日）的表决中投票支持采用新地图，美国投下反对票，另有六个国家弃权。

传统的墨卡托投影（Mercator projection）地图是弗拉芒地图学家墨卡托（Gerardus Mercator）在1569年为航海需要所绘制的。

墨卡托地图虽能精确呈现陆地形状和角度，但放大了北半球地区，同时压缩了赤道附近地区，使欧洲和北美洲看起来远比实际面积庞大，非洲和南美洲则显得狭小。

联合国的新决议建议改用2018年推出的“等积地球投影”（Equal Earth projection）地图。新地图将使非洲大陆在地图上呈现的面积大幅扩大，缩小北美洲与欧洲的面积，让各洲的面积更接近现实。

这项决议引发美国的强烈不满，称这正是联合国正在失去公信力的原因。

美国代表费伦采维奇在表决前说：“与其把重点放在真正的问题上……联合国却在讨论16世纪的地图项目，以及这些地图在推动赔偿和认知权利的公平对待方面所发挥的作用。”

对决议表示支持的法国外长巴罗说：“改变地图显然不会改变世界，但纠正一种扭曲的呈现方式，本身就是一种对事实的还原。”

Third worker rescued from Nepal tunnel, woman found alive in rubble 10 days after devastating floods

Updated on September 5, 2026 / 5:40 AM EDT / CBS/AP

Two people were rescued in separate operations in Nepal, 10 days after the devastating floods hit the country, officials said Saturday.

A man was rescued from a hydropower tunnel, according to a social media post by the country’s prime minister’s office, bringing the total to three workers pulled alive from the Trishuli hydropower project. Two Nepalese workers were rescued from a tunnel at the Trishuli 3A hydropower plant on Friday.

Nepal’s army said a joint rescue team of Nepalese military personnel and South Korean disaster experts rescued the man from 738-foot tunnel and that he was undergoing a health assessment. Images showed him being evacuated by helicopter, with an army medic checking on him during the flight.

A photo released by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV showed two rescuers carrying the man out of the tunnel.

Rescue efforts have increasingly focused on 12 hydropower projects across Nepal, where about 900 workers are missing and roughly 500 are believed to be trapped in various tunnels, authorities said. Specialized rescue teams from India, China, South Korea and the United States have been searching through debris, damaged structures and tunnels at the projects, hoping to find survivors.

In flood-hit Nuwakot town, a woman was rescued alive from a house, Nepal’s army spokesperson said Saturday. Officials said she was being airlifted to Kathmandu.

Images released by Nepal’s army showed rescuers finding the woman covered in mud. They gave her bottled water before pulling her to safety, wrapped in a gray blanket.

At least 1,300 people were killed in the Aug. 26 floods, which were likely caused by a glacier collapse, and more than 5,000 remain missing, according to Nepal’s disaster management agency.

Trump’s ‘Catch-Me-If-You-Can’ presidency keeps finding ways around the law

2026-09-05T10:30:29.662Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/05/politics/trump-laws-ballroom-arch-construction-dc

A plain reading of the law about presidents on coins says the face of a living president should not be on currency. And yet President Donald Trump’s is, after his Treasury Department exploited a different law related to commemorative coins.

The law says a president must not commit the US military into hostilities for longer than 60 days without congressional approval. The US has been in a conflict with Iran for more than six months, although the administration says it has taken time-outs in the war. Previous presidents from both parties have danced around this requirement, but nothing on the level of Trump’s war on Iran.

Chief Justice John Roberts called it “likely unlawful” for Trump to tear down part of the White House and build something else. And yet construction is happening around the clock to get that White House ballroom done for Trump to enjoy.

Laws would seem to require Congress to approve the construction of a triumphal arch adjacent to Arlington National Cemetery. The administration isn’t waiting and the Department of Interior appears primed to start excavation shortly.

The law says suspected criminals should not be put to death without a trial. And yet the US military has taken out numerous alleged drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific.

The law says Congress creates agencies of the federal government, like USAID, the US Department of Education and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Trump has tried to end some of them anyway, either through starvation or outright deletion.

The law says Congress decides where money should go. That didn’t stop Trump’s administration from cutting research funding and aid money it simply disagreed with.

The law says the government should not be entering people’s homes without a judicial warrant. But Immigration and Customs Enforcement has utilized that power.

The law says the Federal Reserve should operate independently, but that isn’t stopping Trump from trying to pressure the Fed to lower interest rates — most recently via a threat to cease trade with top partners.

The list goes on, and with it the complicated legal arguments the Trump administration has made – in those instances when it has had to make them.

Even when faced with setbacks in court, Trump’s administration has brazenly looked for end-runs.

A judge ruled Trump’s administration can’t ignore the law and put his name alongside John F. Kennedy’s on the Kennedy Center. But the administration plans to add it to the building anyway, by adding an inscription giving Trump credit for the rehab job. And if the administration can’t put the name on the building, it threatens to tear the whole thing down.

The tearing-down of buildings the president should not be able to tear down is an apt analogy for this whole presidency. Once something is gone, it’s gone. It doesn’t matter if getting rid of it was illegal.

Roberts sided with liberals on the court to argue – in an unsuccessful dissent – that Trump’s East Wing project should be halted because it was “likely unlawful.” In his dissent, Roberts quoted Winston Churchill during World War II.

“We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us,” Churchill had said. Roberts didn’t mention that Churchill made those comments to argue the British House of Commons should be rebuilt as it had stood before it was destroyed by Nazi bombs. Churchill wanted to rebuild it as a monument to the British form of government.

Trump saw the White House East Wing as a tear-down project — a (likely) illegal tear-down in Roberts’ eyes. But Trump’s monument to himself – one of many — is getting built nonetheless. Asking Congress for the taxpayer money to help with the project came only after the walls were torn down.

It has become a pattern during Trump’s second term that the president does something; Congress shrugs; and the Supreme Court allows him to proceed, regardless of whether what he’s doing is, strictly speaking, legal.

A week before Roberts’ historical lament, the liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson blasted the court’s conservatives, including Roberts, for allowing Trump’s executive order meant to cut down on mail-in voting to proceed, again on a technicality.

The White House has a “Catch-Me-If-You-Can approach,” Jackson said.

In the case of disrupting mail-in ballots, Trump may ultimately get caught; the executive order still faces lawsuits and a new injunction that make it seem impossible to impose, at least for this election.

Trump also got caught on birthright citizenship, where justices rejected his attempt to set aside the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. And on tariffs, they said no, he could not exploit national emergency laws to upend the economy.

He’s still looking for ways around that decision.

But on so many other issues, Trump’s administration has picked the laws it wants to follow, diverted funds here or there, and said little in public about what it’s up to. Congress has shrugged. Courts have had trouble keeping up, and the Supreme Court has preferred to let Trump go about his business while things get sorted out.

That dynamic seems likely to change, at least somewhat, come next year if Democrats win control of either the House or the Senate. They will try to restrict funding for Trump’s goals.

But it will be an interesting question for Democrats who want to replace Trump in the White House in 2029. Should they spend even more taxpayer money to tear down the East Wing behemoth he’s building? They won’t be able to go back and take the coins with his face out of circulation. They can’t un-deport people who didn’t get a hearing. And it will take time and effort, if the next president is so inclined, to rebuild the system of scientific and medical research funding the Trump administration cut back.

On so many of the things Trump has done, catching up may not even be an option.

泥石流10天后 一尼泊尔妇女从家中被救出

尼泊尔—中国西藏泥石流发生至今已有10天，救援队成功从厚厚的泥沙和瓦砾下救出一名被困在家中的尼泊尔妇女。加上早些时候宣布被救出的中国籍男子，星期六（9月5日）再有两人从这场特大自然灾害中生还。

法新社报道，当64岁的昌德里卡·什雷斯塔（Chandrika Shrestha）被从努瓦科特县（Nuwakot）一座遭掩埋的住宅中拉出来时，她浑身粘满泥浆，现场的尼泊尔武装警察部队成员随即发出欢呼。

当地警区副警监哈瓦里（Iqbal Hawari）说，警方搜救小组在清理该地区时发现了什雷斯塔，“目前她已被直升机送往首都加德满都接受治疗。”

尼泊尔武装警察部队发布的一段视频显示，她的住宅只有一小部分露在外面，下层楼房已完全被厚厚的污泥淹没。

星期六早些时候，救援人员也宣布，在尼泊尔拉苏瓦县（Rasuwa）的“上特里苏里1号”（Upper Trishuli-1）水电站隧道内，成功救出了中国籍男子陆海涛（音译）。

自8月26日中尼边境因冰川和岩石崩塌引发如海啸般的泥石流以来，紧急搜救队一直在夜以继日地寻找幸存者。根据两国官方数据，这次灾难的累计死亡人数达到1375人，另有超过5500人下落不明。
