剑桥大学一名深陷剽窃风波的教授于周三辞去职务。此前不久，这所英国高校宣布，将针对这名教授面临的各项指控展开调查。

杰森·阿迪（Jason Arday）因在2023年被剑桥任命为最年轻的黑人教授而登上新闻头条。他近期面临日益增多的指控，指其博士论文部分内容存在抄袭行为。

外界也对阿迪声称取得的一些成就提出了质疑。阿迪及其支持者则称，针对他的部分审查是出于种族主义动机。

阿迪星期三（8月5日）在网上发布的一封信中说，辞职是结束这一艰难时期的“唯一途径”，但他坚称这项决定不应被“误解为是对围绕我的那些说法或指控的默认”。

就在几个小时前，剑桥大学宣布：“在收到关于阿迪教授学术资历及荣誉职位的最新信息后，校方已启动调查。”

校方补充道：“此外，针对其学术不端行为的若干投诉仍在处理中，相关程序将严格遵循我们的研究不端行为处理政策。”

剑桥曾在6月份极力维护阿迪，称针对他的指控是一场“旨在损害其信誉的恶毒行动”，并坚称有关阿迪学位论文及期刊发表文章涉嫌抄袭的指控，此前已由相关机构及期刊进行调查并予以驳回。

校方周三未具体说明，此次启动调查是基于什么新信息。

阿迪关于其个人经历的一些说法也遭到了质疑，其中包括他曾声称自己在35天内跑完了30场马拉松，并为慈善机构筹集了数百万善款。

阿迪上周六接受《泰晤士报》采访时承认，自己在学术方面犯了“错误”，但表示自己被错误地“描绘成一个撒谎者、空想家和学术欺诈者”。

他还声称，那场“旨在将我拉下马的行动”是出于种族动机。

阿迪自述，自己被诊断患有自闭症，在11岁之前无法说话，直到18岁才学会读写，最终在37岁那年成为剑桥大学教授。

LAS VEGAS/WASHINGTON, Aug 5 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said talks with Tehran seemed “to be working out quite well,” reiterating ​his positive portrayal of the negotiations on the Iran war without elaborating ‌on the specifics of the discussions.

The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.

DETAILS:

• “I hear they are doing very well,” Trump said in an interview on the “

FOX5 1-ON-1, opens new tab
” show with FOX5 Las ​Vegas journalist Tom Durian. The interview was published on Wednesday ​evening.

• Even as the Iran war has entered its sixth ⁠month and the two sides have so far failed to reach ​a permanent end to the conflict, Trump has repeatedly attempted to ​portray the talks positively.

• Trump has said a deal on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for energy supplies that Iran blocked after the war ​began, is imminent.

• “I am not looking to kill people and totally ​obliterate everything, and that’s where we were headed. And they wanted to negotiate ‌and ⁠we’re doing that, and it seems to be working out quite well,” Trump said in the interview.

• Human rights experts have condemned Trump’s threats to target civilian infrastructure.

• Iran has warned that if the U.S. ​carried out the threats, ​Tehran would ⁠target regional critical infrastructure.

• The 1949 Geneva Conventions on humanitarian conduct in war prohibit attacks on sites considered essential ​for civilians.

• Such attacks could amount to war crimes, international ​law experts ⁠in the U.S. said in April, after Trump’s previous threats.

• The war began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran. ⁠Tehran responded ​with strikes on Israel and Gulf ​states with U.S. bases.

• U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran and Israeli attacks on Lebanon have since killed thousands ​and displaced millions.

挪威今年7月对中国出口的鲑鱼数量创单月新高，中国升至挪威鲑鱼第二大出口市场；受美国关税影响，美国则从一年前的第二位跌至第五。

据彭博社报道，挪威海产局星期三（8月5日）公布的数据显示，挪威7月向中国出口1万2464公吨鲑鱼，同比增长27%。目前，中国是挪威鲑鱼第二大出口市场，仅次于波兰；荷兰排名第三。

美国则从一年前的第二大市场跌至第五。美国总统特朗普去年推出全球关税措施，对挪威商品征收15%关税，促使挪威出口商转向其他市场。

根据美国上月生效的新关税，美国目前对挪威进口商品征收12.5%关税，对欧盟进口商品则征税10%。全球两大鲑鱼生产商Mowi和SalMar的总部均设在挪威。

数据显示，挪威7月鲑鱼出口总量同比增长10%，达到14万7891公吨，出口额为116亿挪威克朗（15亿5900万新元），出口量和出口额均创历年7月新高。

挪威海产局首席执行官克拉默（Christian Chramer）说，部分需求增长可能也与挪威男子足球队上月在世界杯表现出色有关。

脸书母公司Meta推出面向人工智能（AI）产品开发者的全新应用，正式加入自动化编程工具的竞争行列，与其他AI开发巨头争夺客户。

法新社报道，Meta星期三（8月5日）推出名为Muse Code的智能编程工具。据官网介绍，这款工具能够处理大量数据，执行复杂的软件工程任务，包括代码规划、编写和验证结果。“它可以协调多个持久化子代理来完成每个任务，从而更快、更准确、更省力地解决难题。”

智能工具是指无需人工干预即可处理任务的软件应用程序，但通常仍需有人对最终决策作出判断，或监督任务执行。

Muse Code目前以测试版形式发布，由Muse Spark 1.2支持。Muse Spark是Meta今年4月推出的旗舰模型。

如今主要AI开发商之间的竞争愈发激烈，Meta已向自家AI部门投入数十亿美元，力图追赶OpenAI和Anthropic的步伐。

亚马逊、微软、Alphabet和Meta今年预计会在AI数据中心、晶片和计算基础设施方面，投入约7000亿美元（约8960亿新元）。

Senate panel moves to vote on Fauci contempt resolution

Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlinson reports on a Senate panel’s upcoming vote to hold former NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci in contempt of Congress. The resolution follows a contentious COVID-19 hearing where Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment rights more than one hundred times.

Fox News Digital has confirmed that a key investigative panel in the Senate has obtained Dr. Anthony Fauci’s pandemic-era cellphone.

The cellphone was transferred from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations chaired by Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis.

A spokesperson for the senator told Fox News Digital the subcommittee “obtained a copy of Dr. Fauci’s iPhone that was used during his time at HHS.”

Whether the panel has access to the phone remains unclear.

The committee’s procurement of the phone, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, comes as the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee readies to decide whether to hold Fauci in contempt of Congress. It also follows the HHS’ move to dump over 1,000 pages of Fauci’s personal diary to the panel just days before the blockbuster hearing.

The hearing, slated for Thursday morning, comes after the panel’s chair, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., subpoenaed Fauci to testify on his alleged role in funding “risky” gain-of-function research in Wuhan, China, where the COVID-19 virus originated.

A source close to Paul’s office told Fox News Digital that the lawmaker is also in possession of the phone.

Last week’s testimony was meant to serve as the climatic duel between Fauci and Paul, who has demanded Fauci be thrown into prison for his role in the nation’s pandemic policy and alleged lies to Congress.

But it didn’t turn out that way.

Fauci, on advice from his lawyers, opted to plead the Fifth Amendment out of concern about self-incrimination before a panel that he charged was designed to ensnare him.

“Although it pains me to do so because of the respect I have for the legislative branch of government and my decades-long record of cooperating with Congress under the advice of my attorneys, I will invoke my right under the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution to refrain from answering your questions,” Fauci said.

What ensued was Republicans on the panel peppering Fauci with questions probing his involvement in an alleged lab leak that led to the virus’ rapid spread to what day of the week it was. Democrats charged that his decision to activate his constitutional rights was the right call given Paul and his colleagues’ determination to catch him in a lie.

And it culminated in Paul vowing that Fauci would face consequences for declining to comment and questioning whether his pardon from former President Joe Biden could protect him.

“I think there’s another legal question that the courts may have to decide upon, and that is whether or not a presidential pardon offers you complete immunity,” Paul said at the time.

Fox News Digital did not immediately receive comment from HHS on Fauci’s pandemic-era iPhone.

Thomas Smith dropped his Michigan House bid last month, but won the GOP primary anyway, beating Trump-backed opponent

August 5, 2026 / 8:15 PM EDT / CBS News

Thomas Smith won Michigan’s 8th District GOP primary with just over 50% of the vote Tuesday, CBS News projected — even though he had suspended his campaign in mid-July.

Perhaps even more surprisingly: Smith defeated Amir Hassan, who had received President Trump’s endorsement. Mr. Trump even appeared at a campaign rally with Hassan and other Republican candidates in Milford, Michigan, a few days ago.

Smith, who says on his campaign website that he’s a salsa entrepreneur and retired General Motors engineer, struggled with fundraising. In a handwritten letter to the FEC on July 12, he disclosed that he had only raised $1,850 through June 30.

He also appeared to struggle with the FEC’s technology, adding in a postscript, “I could not file this form electronically because I have had no success logging in and have not been able to get a response from the help desk.”

Upon withdrawing from the race, Smith issued a video endorsement for Al Lemmo. Lemmo finished third, behind Hassan.

He has revived his campaign and said in a statement to the Detroit News, “I am humbled and honored that Republicans have chosen me to take the fight to Kristen McDonald Rivet,” the incumbent Democratic congresswoman who holds the seat.

Covering Flint and other parts of Central Michigan, the 8th District is one of 13 House seats where voters elected a Democrat to Congress but favored Mr. Trump for the presidency in 2024.

Hassan, a Navy veteran with a background in federal law enforcement, said he’s “disappointed not defeated” in a post on X.

Hassan is so far the only Trump-endorsed House candidate in this year’s midterm election cycle to lose a primary. Mr. Trump alluded to Hassan’s defeat without mentioning him by name Wednesday.

“I endorsed a lot of candidates, and the end result — I was 28 wins and one loss. It was a little bit of a person that I thought was a good person. Didn’t have much of a chance, but I said, ‘I don’t care, I’m doing it anyway.’”

“Good person, very good, very respected, but nobody knew who the person was,” the president said during a speech in Las Vegas.

研究人员：20多款中国制造路由器存在后门

2026-08-06 08:43 / 联合早报

网络安全公司VulnCheck的研究人员星期三（8月5日）称，全球销售的20多款中国制造路由器预装后门程序，可能让外部人员接管路由器，并入侵同一网络中的其他设备。

据路透社报道，VulnCheck首席技术官贝恩斯（Jacob Baines）发现这一后门，并将它命名为“Endlessdoors”（无尽之门）。受影响的路由器由中国厂商Zbtlink生产，以Zbtlink和Wiflyer品牌在全球销售。

目前，Zbtlink尚未回应置评请求。

贝恩斯估计，全球至少已部署10万台这类路由器，但无法确定具体分布，也不清楚有多少正在美国使用。

贝恩斯在公司网站发文说，这个后门每隔35秒就会自动连接一个特定IP地址及在中国注册的域名。控制这些域名的人可接管路由器，并进一步进入同一网络中的其他设备。

他说，大多数将这类路由器用于小型企业或家庭办公的消费者，可能完全不知道设备存在这类风险。“如果我把它放在大学实验室里，就等于直接邀请对方进入实验室，让他们在网络中随意游走。这种能力可能造成毁灭性后果。”

报道称，这一发现加剧西方对中国制造网络设备安全风险的担忧。西方国家政府多年来警告，与中国有关联的黑客可能利用这类设备入侵网络并发动攻击。北京一贯否认参与或支持任何形式的非法网络攻击活动。

美国联邦通信委员会（FCC）今年3月以国家安全为由，宣布禁止进口新款外国制造的消费级路由器，但随后豁免了多家非中国企业。

得州政府今年2月也起诉TP-Link，指控这家从中国企业分拆、总部位于加州的路由器制造商允许北京访问美国消费者的设备。TP-Link否认相关指控。

《纽约时报》新闻繁忙季数码订户增长放缓 股价下跌13%

2026年8月6日 10:52 / 联合早报

尽管近期美以伊战争、世界杯足球赛等热点话题推高新闻业务量，美国主要报章《纽约时报》第二季度数码订阅用户增长速度仍放缓，引发投资者担忧，它的股价下跌超过13%。

路透社星期三（8月5日）报道，《纽约时报》第二季度新增约28万纯数码订阅用户，低于金融分析平台Visible Alpha预估的29万5300，也低于上一季度的31万。目前，这家报纸的订户总数为1335万。

报道指，《纽时》长期被视为数码出版的标杆，因为它成功地围绕新闻和生活方式内容构建了庞大的订阅业务。然而，连它也没能躲过来自谷歌搜索和推送流量下降的冲击。

《纽约时报》已取消旗下体育网站The Athletic所有国际足联（FIFA）世界杯报道的付费墙，并推出新的报道形式，帮助网站吸引了“有史以来最多的受众”。

尽管如此，这家报纸第二季度订阅用户增长速度依然放缓；预计第三季度纯数码订阅收入增速将放缓至12%到15%之间，中值也低于此前14.2%的预期。

《纽时》计划在明年年底前达到1500万订户，这意味着未来六个季度里，平均每季度新增订户须达到27万5000个。

莱维恩在展望未来时说，预计体育报道方面的进步会助力美国国家橄榄球联盟（NFL）赛季取得成功，并认为视频是一个“长期机遇”，尽管目前视频在广告增长中所占比例相对较小。

据报道，《纽时》广告总收入增长11.3%，达到1亿4910万美元，高于此前预估的1亿4640万美元。
