（米兰法新电）负责意大利足球甲级联赛和乙级联赛的裁判指派工作的罗基（Rocchi），因涉嫌“体育欺诈”被米兰检方立案调查，目前已暂时停职。

罗基星期六（25日）发布声明称，他决定“自行停职”，暂停负责为意大利两级联赛指派裁判的工作。

他说：“这是痛苦且艰难的决定……但都是为了让司法程序能够顺利进行，而我确信自己最终将被证明是清白的。”

视频助理裁判（VAR）负责人杰尔瓦索尼 （Gervasoni）也因同样指控，正在接受调查。

检方指出，罗基与其他未具名嫌疑人曾操控裁判指派工作，包括在去年4月让科伦坡（Colombo）执法国际米兰（Inter Milan）客场对阵博洛尼亚（Bologna）的比赛，理由是他“更受国米青睐”。

不过在这场比赛中，国米最终以0比1告负，对手凭借奥尔索利尼（Orsolini）的补时绝杀取胜。

罗基还被指控曾向一名VAR裁判施压，要求其促使场上主裁马雷斯卡（Fabio Maresca）在去年3月乌迪内斯（Udinese）1比0战胜帕尔马（Parma）的比赛中，前往场边屏幕查看一次手球判罚。

当时，无论是场上主裁马雷斯卡，还是VAR室内的帕特纳（Paterna），都已认定不应判罚罚球。

然而，在一段VAR室视频中，可以看到帕特纳在与画面外某人交谈后转身离开显示器，并表明“这是个罚球”。

检方称，当时正是罗基敲击VAR室的门，试图向帕特纳施压，要求其改变不复核手球的决定，最终该判罚促成托万 （Thauvin）攻入全场唯一进球。

在意大利，“体育欺诈”属于刑事犯罪，最高可判处六年监禁。相关案卷也将移交意大利足总，其内部检察部门可能会另行展开调查。

Blanche says Trump’s public appearances “will not change” because of this “lone man”

April 26, 2026 / 9:25 AM EDT / CBS News

The attempted attack at the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner Saturday by a “lone man” will “not stop” President Trump from doing his job and appearing in public before the American people, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday.

In an interview with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan” the morning after shots were fired at the event at the Washington Hilton, Brennan asked if there was a heightened concern about the presence of so many of the nation’s leaders — including the president, Vice President JD Vance and other Cabinet members — in one room. The vice president and president were whisked off stage and out of the room by law enforcement, while other Cabinet officials and members of Congress huddled on the floor and under tables.

Blanche said the president and his top officials “will not stop” making public appearances.

“We will not stop doing things like we did last night in this administration,” Blanche said. “And this man, if one of his goals was to get us to be scared, he failed.”

“President Trump said last night, and he means it — and I very much agree with him — that this type of conduct will not deter him, it will not stop him from living,” Blanche continued. “It will not stop him from doing his job. And not only him, but the vice president, the Cabinet, the law enforcement, you all journalists, you’re not going to stop doing your jobs either because of this — this lone man that did what he did.”

“And so, this is something that we all are still reacting to because it’s fresh, but I assure you that the type of things you saw the president last night and the president being out there and available to the American public, that will not change because of what this guy tried to do last night,” Blanche added.

Blanche said authorities believe the suspect in the attack, 31-year-old Cole Allen, was targeting Trump administration officials. He is expected to face two charges, using a firearm during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro said Saturday night. Blanche said Sunday that there may be additional charges, too.

Allen is expected to appear in court on Monday.

华府晚宴枪击后 特朗普借机再推白宫巨型宴会厅计划

美国总统特朗普星期天借白宫记者协会晚宴枪击事件，力推他在白宫旁建造巨大宴会厅的计划。

特朗普星期天（4月26日）在社媒发文说：“昨晚发生的事情，正是为何我们伟大的军队、特勤局和执法部门，以及出于各种原因，过去150年来历任总统一直要求在白宫内修建一个大型且安全可靠的宴会厅。”

特朗普3月说，美军计划在白宫新宴会厅下方，修建一座大型综合建筑，会配备防弹玻璃和防无人机等防护设施。

特朗普在星期天的贴文称，如果是在白宫正在修建的那座具有最高军事安全措施的宴会厅，这次事件根本不会发生。

特朗普去年10月下令推平白宫东翼，建造用于举办招待会和国宴的巨大宴会厅。然而，这项工程在进行时，并未经过通常针对华盛顿建筑景观变更所要求的繁琐审查程序。

宴会厅项目堪称白宫百余年来最宏大的工程之一，且规模持续扩大，私人出资预算已从2亿美元（约2亿5500万新元）翻倍至4亿美元。

约克城球员兴奋庆祝球队经过艰难比赛，成功升级英乙联赛。 （取自约克城Instagram）

（罗奇代尔综合电）拿到106分还不能升级，英格兰第五级别“全国联赛”（National League）的球队罗奇代尔（Rochdale）在星期六（4月25日）痛失好局，被领头羊约克城（York City）在第103分钟攻入绝平球，结果让约克城以108分拿到联赛冠军，下赛季升级重返英乙联赛（League 2）。

本场比赛在罗奇代尔主场皇冠石油球场进行。高居榜首的约克城只要不败就能升级，罗奇代尔则必须取胜，才能反超对手夺冠并直接升级。

常规90分钟战罢，比分仍然0比0。第95分钟，罗奇代尔依靠迪塞鲁韦（Emmanuel Dieseruvwe）高高跃起头球破门，几乎奠定胜局。主队球迷情绪沸腾，冲入场内庆祝，导致比赛中断约六分钟。

原本补时就只有六分钟，但在比赛恢复重新开踢时，时间已来到第103分钟。

几乎是最后一脚进攻中，约克城孤注一掷，将让10名球员全部压上。在门前混战中，斯通斯近距离将球捅入球门扳平比分。这次轮到客队球迷冲入场内狂欢，裁判也吹响了比赛结束的哨音。

最终，约克城以108分的惊人积分夺冠，罗奇代尔以106分屈居第二。虽然第二级别的英冠（Championship）和第三级别的英甲（League 1）都是前两名球队可以直接升级，而第四级别的英乙更是前三都可以升级。

但在全国联赛，只有冠军球队可以直接升级，第二名至第七名将参加附加赛，争夺另一个升级名额。这意味着罗奇代尔仍需通过附加赛再拼一次，才有机会升上英乙。值得一提的是在上个赛季，拿到第二的正是约克城。

约克城和罗奇代尔联合发声吁赛制改革

实际上，在这场“争冠生死战”前一天，约克城与罗奇代尔已经罕见地发表联合声明，呼吁足球主管机构改革升级制度，结束每季只有两支球队从全国联赛升级的“不公制度”。

两家俱乐部在星期五（24日）下午的联合声明中写道，他们无论比赛结果如何，都会继续支持去年2月推出的“3UP”诉求——即在全国联赛与英乙之间实行“三队升级、三队降级”的制度。

声明指出：“全国联赛早已不再是传统意义上的‘非职业联赛’，它实际上已经是英丙联赛（League 3），许多俱乐部完全职业化，整体水平不逊于，甚至高于英乙的部分球队。

“我们都明白这场比赛对两家俱乐部和球迷有多重要。我们在此共同承诺，无论明天发生什么，我们都会继续为‘3UP’而努力。

“两队目前都超过100分，其中一队却仍要通过附加赛再拼一次，我们认为这不应该发生。”

他们呼吁全国联赛、足球监管机构、英格兰足球联赛（EFL，即英冠、英甲和英乙联赛主办方）与英超尽快坐下来协商，避免年复一年地重复同样的争议。

全国联赛星期五表明，这一倡议已经获得大量球迷、俱乐部、组织及各级足坛知名人士的支持，并推动EFL在最近的年度大会上正式讨论此事。

全国联赛强调，若要落实“3UP”，必须获得EFL多数俱乐部投票通过，并就相关问题达成一致。他们透露，将继续与EFL合作，在合适的时间框架内推动改革落地。

枪手闯白宫记者晚宴 特朗普紧急离场 自称或是袭击目标之一

2026年4月26日 23:53 / 联合早报

（华盛顿综合电）美国总统特朗普出席的白宫记者晚宴发生袭击事件，一名男子开枪打伤一名特勤局特工后被捕，特朗普由特勤人员紧急护送离场。特朗普说，自己可能是枪手的目标，但此事应与伊朗战事无关。目前仍不清楚枪手的作案动机。

一年一度的白宫记者晚宴星期六（4月25日）在华盛顿希尔顿酒店举行，晚宴刚开始不久，一名持枪男子就在酒店内一处安全检查站开枪击中一名特勤局特工，之后被执法人员逮捕。

事发时，特朗普与夫人梅拉尼娅坐在舞台上的宴会桌旁，特朗普原定发表演讲，这是他首次以总统身份出席这个活动。宴会厅内聚集2000多名记者和其他宾客，包括副总统万斯、国务卿鲁比奥、战争部长赫格塞斯、财政部长贝森特、国土安全部长马林、众议院议长约翰逊等政要。

现场传出巨大声响后，许多宾客吓得躲到桌底下。特勤局人员立即拔枪，快速冲上舞台把特朗普夫妇带离现场，其他内阁成员也由各自的安保团队护送离开。

特朗普过后在白宫记者会上说，枪手来自加利福尼亚州，事发时携带多件武器强闯安全检查站，遇袭的特工因穿着防弹衣而逃过一劫。特勤局发言人证实，这名特工已出院。

特朗普说，当局初步认为枪手单独行动。至于他本人是不是枪击目标，特朗普回应：“我猜是吧。”

特朗普认为这起事件应与伊朗战争无关，并强调“这不会阻止我赢得伊朗战争”。

随着美国政治两极分化加剧，自2024年以来，特朗普已遭受两次未遂暗杀。

特朗普也借机为耗费巨资建造白宫宴会厅的计划争取支持，称这样的事件绝不会在“配备所有最高级别安全设施”的宴会厅发生。上个月，美国联邦法官叫停这项工程，直至获得美国国会授权。

特朗普在社交媒体上发布的监控录像显示，嫌犯快速冲过安全检查站，安保人员随即拔枪追击。

特朗普也批评，事发酒店不是特别安全。1981年，时任美国总统里根就是在这家酒店外中弹受伤，酒店之后加强安保措施。

警方说，嫌犯相信是酒店住客，干案时持有一把霰弹枪、一把手枪与多把刀，他在遭到拦截期间与执法人员交火。

多家媒体引述执法部门消息报道，嫌犯是31岁的男子艾伦（Cole Tomas Allen），来自加州托伦斯市（Torrance）。据悉，他此前并不在当局监控名单上，携带的两把枪都是合法购得。

消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司（CBS），艾伦向执法人员供称，他的目标是特朗普政府官员。

现场拍摄的视频显示，宴会厅外传出枪响后，一名安保人员抓住美国副总统万斯（中）的肩膀，把他带到安全的地点。（网络视频截图）

这起事件再次引发人们对美国安保水平和高级官员安全问题的关注。枪手如何把霰弹枪偷带进酒店，预料是调查重点。

美国代理司法部长布兰奇星期天（26日）说，嫌犯星期一（27日）将在联邦法院出庭面控，罪名包括袭击联邦官员、开枪以及企图杀害联邦官员。

布兰奇说，嫌犯目标似乎是特朗普政府官员，其中可能包括总统，但动机还有待调查。

被问及这起事件是否标志着安保工作的失败，布兰奇称：“我们的目标不是阻止所有袭击，而是像昨晚那样，创造一个非常安全且可靠的环境。毫无疑问，特勤局尽到自己的职责。”

他说，嫌犯虽开了数枪，但刚越过警戒线就立即被制服。

世界多国领导人对这起事件表示震惊。欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩星期天说，她事后与特朗普通了电话，两人一致认为，“政治暴力在民主国家没有立足之地”。法国总统马克龙称，这起枪击事件不可接受。

以色列总理内坦亚胡、印度总理莫迪、加拿大总理卡尼、墨西哥总统辛鲍姆、英国国王查尔斯三世等领导人，也对特朗普安然无事表示欣慰。

查尔斯三世与王后卡米拉定于星期一（27日）起对美国展开四天访问。白金汉宫说，英方将同美方讨论，这起事件会否影响此次行程的安保计划。

挺过热天气 韩球员咸政宇首赢新加坡高球公开赛

2026年4月26日 23:45 / 联合早报

今年32岁的咸政宇首次赢得亚巡赛冠军。 （海峡时报）

由《商业时报》呈献的第54届新加坡高尔夫球公开赛星期天（4月26日）落下帷幕，比赛过程跌宕起伏，最后一天比赛受雨天影响一度展延逾三小时半，最终韩国球员咸政宇守住领先优势，成功夺冠。

比赛在圣淘沙高球俱乐部的史拉蓬高球场举行，当天进行至中午时天公不作美，由于雷雨警报，比赛一直到下午3时30分才恢复。

澳大利亚球员约翰（Cameron John）来势汹汹，咸政宇在决赛轮和他展开精彩对决，最终咸政宇以两杆优势夺冠，总成绩为低于标准杆16杆（268杆）。约翰当天状态出色，他打出66杆，最终成绩为270杆。

咸政宇虽然在最后一轮以低于标准杆三杆的68杆完赛，但得益于他在前三轮建立的领先优势，因此其他球员难以撼动他的领先地位。

成功夺冠后，咸政宇（中，蓝衣背对者）与团队开心庆祝。（海峡时报）

咸政宇曾在2022年参加同样位于史拉蓬高球场举行的新加坡公开赛，当时他与其他球员并列第43名，如今成绩大幅提升。

自八年前转职业球员以来，咸政宇仅参加过24场亚洲巡回赛，其中16场在韩国举行。这是咸政宇首次赢得亚巡赛冠军。

此役夺冠，咸政宇赛后受访时笑得合不拢嘴，他说：“感觉很棒，我实现了梦想。”

狮城炎热的天气对咸政宇来说是难题之一，他说：“老实说我很怕热，一直在流汗，所以我只想着快点打完，尽快回酒店休息。天气太热了，反而让我没有想太多，保持放松的状态。”

本届新加坡公开赛，咸政宇从第一轮开始领先至结束。（海峡时报）

咸政宇也成为继2016年宋永汉之后，第二个赢得新加坡公开赛的韩国球员。

咸政宇直言这场胜利对他来说是一种激励，过去两年他的状态并不好，前来我国比赛时他没想过夺冠。

“就连今天，我觉得自己的表现也只是一般，还以为最终会排在第10名左右。但最后赢了，所以我为自己感到非常自豪，也证明我的球技确实进步了。”

值得一提的是，咸政宇和约翰两人都获得英国公开赛的参赛权。

咸政宇说：“看到韩国和亚洲球员能参加英国公开赛，我一直都很羡慕，从没想过这个梦想会成真。参加英国公开赛对我来说会是一次全新的体验，我会去那里多喝点威士忌，好好享受比赛。”

洪孙达我国选手中成绩最佳 廖广益学会更有耐心

在12位参赛的新加坡选手中，晋级周末赛事的有四名新加坡选手。洪孙达当天交出66杆，最终以低于标准杆六杆的成绩（278杆）与另外四名球员并列第12位，是表现最好的新加坡球员。

而廖广益以一杆之差与另外八名球员并列第17位。业余球员李轩毅和雷天则分别以286杆和290杆排在第56和67位。

对于这场比赛的收获，廖广益说自己在长杆策略上变得更有耐心。（亚洲巡回赛提供）

对于这场比赛的收获，廖广益说自己在长杆策略上变得更有耐心，也更聪明地做出选择。

“尤其是第一轮和第三轮，这次最大的收获就是学会耐心，让“柏蒂”（Birdie，低于标准杆一杆）机会自然出现，然后借助那种势头去打出更多柏蒂。这基本上就是我这周到目前为止最大的体会。”

廖广益在第二轮和第四轮分别交出66杆和67杆，但第一轮和第三轮表现不稳，打出75杆和71杆。

Blanche says authorities believe suspect in attack at press dinner was targeting Trump administration officials

2026-04-26 09:56 EDT / CBS News

By Melissa Quinn

Washington — Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that investigators believe the armed man who charged a security checkpoint outside the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner was targeting members of President Trump’s administration.

“We do believe, based upon just a very preliminary start to understanding what happened, that he was targeting members of the administration,” Blanche said in an interview with “Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan.”

The acting attorney general said investigators are still looking into the suspect’s motivation and speaking with people who knew him. He said the alleged gunman is not cooperating with authorities.

Law enforcement apprehended 31-year-old Cole Allen of Torrance, California, and said he was armed with a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives when he stormed the security checkpoint outside the dinner, where Mr. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Cabinet officials and scores of journalists were gathered to honor the First Amendment. Police believe he acted alone.

The president, first lady Melania Trump and Vance were whisked off the dais by Secret Service in response to the shots that rang out outside the ballroom. They were not injured. Other Cabinet officials in attendance, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., were hustled out of the room by security.

One Secret Service agent was injured in the attack, but was protected by a bulletproof vest, Mr. Trump told reporters late Saturday. Blanche said investigators believe the agent was shot by the suspect.

Police said Saturday night that the alleged shooter was a guest at the Washington Hilton, the hotel where the dinner is held. The suspect is believed to have traveled to Washington, D.C., by train, going from Los Angeles to Chicago, and then Chicago to the nation’s capital, Blanche said.

He is expected to face two charges: using a firearm during a violent crime and assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon, Jeanine Pirro, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, said Saturday.

But Blanche said the alleged gunman could face other federal charges as the investigation continues.

“There’s a lot of federal charges that could be in play beyond those two charges, but it depends on us understanding his motive, his intent, his premeditation of what led into him deciding he was going to do what he did last night,” he said.

Chaos erupted as the shots were fired, sending dinner guests scrambling to take cover under tables. While the attack raised questions about the security of the event, the president and administration officials have praised the Secret Service for their swift response to the attack.

Mr. Trump told reporters that the presidency is a “dangerous profession,” and said the attack would not deter him from doing his job.

此外，图阿雷格叛军宣称达成一项协议，允许支持马里军队的俄罗斯部队从北部城市基达尔撤离。他们声称，基达尔已“完全”处于叛军控制之下。

基达尔是图阿雷格人的据点。2023年11月，马里军队在俄罗斯瓦格纳雇佣兵集团的支持下收复这个城镇，结束了叛军长达十多年的控制。

马里军方星期六称，武装恐怖组织当天早晨企图在马里部分城市发动袭击，马里武装部队迅速反击，目前已控制局势，清剿行动仍在继续。

军方说已击毙了数百名袭击者，暂未公布伤亡人数。马里政府发言人星期六在电视讲话中说，包括马里军人和平民在内的16人在袭击中受伤。

Security under scrutiny as WHCD attendees cite inconsistent screening before shooting

Accounts of lax screening have not been independently verified, though multiple attendees described the issue online

Ted Williams calls out ‘lax’ security following White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting

Following a terrifying security breach at the Washington Hilton where suspect Cole Allen opened fire, former D.C. homicide detective Ted Williams joined ‘Fox News Live’ to analyze how the shooter bypassed outer perimeters and why the overcrowded ballroom left high-profile dignitaries and journalists as ‘sitting ducks’ during the evacuation.

A shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is raising fresh questions about security at one of Washington’s highest-profile events, with some attendees describing what they saw as lapses in screening and access control.

While the Secret Service and federal law enforcement moved quickly to secure President Donald Trump and other officials, accounts from attendees and lawmakers have painted a mixed picture of the security posture at the Washington Hilton.

WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER SHOOTING SHARPENS FOCUS ON TRUMP’S BALLROOM CONSTRUCTION PROPOSAL

Misha Komadovsky, a journalist for Germany’s DW, shared a photo on X of the paper ticket used by attendees to gain access to the event, saying it was “the only thing required” for entry into the Washington Hilton ballroom. “There was no security screening prior to entering the lobby,” he wrote.

ABC News reporter Beatrice Peterson, who wrote on X that she has attended the event for more than a decade, offered a more measured assessment, saying the overall security posture appeared consistent with past years.

She noted that pre-event gatherings tend to be more fluid, while the dinner itself is typically more tightly controlled, and that security — both plainclothes and uniformed — is always present inside and outside the venue.

Peterson described the crowd and security presence as “typical-ish” for a year in which the president attends the dinner, suggesting no obvious deviations from past practice.

However, she said multiple investigations are expected to examine what happened and whether any failures occurred, adding the incident could permanently change how the event is handled going forward.

Harrison Fields, a former White House principal deputy press secretary, told “FOX & Friends” there were “no checkpoints to get into the hotel,” adding that the gunman could have been “roaming” and observing attendees before the incident.

“There was a VIP reception right off the main ballroom where Cabinet secretaries were, where the president could have been — and there was no security apparatus leading up to that point,” Fields said.

Fields acknowledged that the Secret Service and local law enforcement “took immediate steps to keep us safe,” but said there was “no real buffer” in place, which he noticed as soon as he arrived.

Even as some attendees described the security posture as typical, lawmakers offered a far more critical assessment.

Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., pointed to what he described as “glaring security issues,” even as he acknowledged that the Secret Service and federal law enforcement “acted swiftly” to secure the ballroom and move President Donald Trump and other officials to safety.

In a post on X, Lawler said there was no photo ID requirement or verified attendee list, which he noted is standard for White House events. He also cited the absence of magnetometers before entry to the ballroom and said multiple pre-event receptions with limited security created potential access points.

Lawler said the building remained open to the public and raised concerns about accountability inside the room, noting there was no clear handle on how many members of Congress were present or where they were seated.

He called for a “complete and thorough after-action” review, focusing on how the gunman moved from his hotel room into what he described as a secure area with multiple firearms.

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who attended the dinner, also raised concerns about the venue itself. “We were there front and center,” Fetterman said. “That venue wasn’t built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government.”

Similarily, Kari Lake, a Trump ally in attendance, echoed criticism of the security measures. “I was there. Security was terrible at the event,” Lake wrote on X. “It was the easiest event I’ve ever gained access to that the president was at. It was so bad we talked about it at our table before the shots rang out.”

The Washington Hilton has long hosted high-level government events, including gatherings attended by the president, vice president and members of Congress beyond the annual dinner.

Last week, the First Lady’s Luncheon was held in the same ballroom, where first lady Melania Trump and second lady Usha Vance delivered remarks.

The Secret Service’s familiarity with the venue helped enable a swift response — and is one reason the White House Correspondents’ Dinner has been held there annually since 1968.
