我国与印度尼西亚将在核监管政策、人员培训、联合研究及核事故应急准备等领域展开合作，进一步加强区域核安全合作。

国家环境局局长许庚伟医生，与印尼核能监管机构（Badan Pengawas Tenaga Nuklir，简称BAPETEN）代主席再纳（Zainal Arifin）星期二（6月30日）在雅加达签署谅解备忘录。

作为监管核能使用的主管机构，BAPETEN负责核与辐射设施的安全、保安及核保障工作。

根据备忘录，两家机构将在核监管政策、辐射及核应用监管、辐射与核应急准备及应对，以及环境辐射监测等领域合作，并通过联合培训、人员交流、研究合作及技术会议等方式深化合作。

环境局与BAPETEN星期二发联合文告说，这项合作建立在长期的双边合作基础上，也延续双方通过亚细安平台，包括亚细安原子能监管机构网络（ASEANTOM）开展的信息共享与协调。这将进一步提升区域在辐射防护、核安全、核安保、核保障、应急准备及监管能力等方面的水平。

我国政府今年5月宣布，计划明年接受国际原子能机构评估，以确定我国为未来可能部署核能而进行的能力建设是否充足。

环境局在今年6月初，也与英国核监管办公室（Office for Nuclear Regulation）签署核监管合作谅解备忘录，协助我国评估是否能安全部署核能。

除英国和印尼，我国也与芬兰、法国、美国及亚细安伙伴，保持核安全与监管合作交流。

执照被吊销的LC疗养院创办人谢仰逢，曾在11家公司担任董事，并持有其中五家公司的股份。不过，他参与管理的公司中，超过一半已停止运作。

根据新加坡会计与企业管制局记录，经营LC疗养院的LC Nursing Home私人有限公司于1994年注册成立，目前共有三名董事及一名公司秘书，谢仰逢（译音，Chia Yang Pong）是董事之一。

记录显示，谢仰逢曾出任11家公司的董事，并持有其中五家公司的股份。这些公司主要从事疗养院、护理及医疗相关业务。在11家公司中，六家已注销，另一家ACL Building Project则因无力偿债，被法院下令强制清盘后解散。

值得注意的是，虽然谢仰逢目前仍是LC疗养院董事，但并未持有公司的股份。LC Nursing Home缴足资本为50万元，股权由另外两名股东持有，其中谢仰逢妻子吴丽洲（译音，Ng Lee Chow）持有87.5%股份，谢淑安（译音，Chia Sue-Ann）持有其余12.5%。

根据《海峡时报》报道，LC疗养院与另一家Margaret Chio疗养院有密切关系。除了两家公司的注册地址同为一个，两者的五名现任和前任董事也有联系。

LC疗养院的两名现任董事吴丽洲和谢淑安，也是Margaret Chio疗养院的股东。

谢仰逢是一名医生。根据LC疗养院网站，谢仰逢与妻子共同创办疗养院，他也是疗养院行政总裁，并称自己在乐龄护理领域拥有超过30年经验。

保健卫生部星期一（6月29日）发文告说，由于LC疗养院在临床护理、住户照护，以及感染预防与控制等方面，存在严重且系统性的疏漏，将从11月23日起吊销位于惹兰乌鲁实乞纳（Jalan Ulu Siglap）2号的疗养院服务执照。

LC疗养院目前拥有93个床位、照顾78名住户。它也是2020年《医疗服务法令》生效以来，第二家将被吊销执照的疗养院。

第一家被吊销执照的疗养院，是巴西班让路的温馨之家（Windsor Convalescent Home）。健卫部在6月18日指疗养院有多项违规行为，决定从10月30日起吊销服务执照。

住户家属：待护联局安排转院

《联合早报》记者星期二（30日）上午再次走访LC疗养院。两小时内，有几名相信是住户家属的人进出，但他们都不愿多谈，仅透露正等待护联局（AIC）安排亲人转往其他合适的疗养院。

从事餐饮业的陈姓服务员（60岁）说，53岁的弟弟因中风导致半身瘫痪，几个月前入住LC疗养院。她星期二早上陪弟弟外出针灸时，才从对方口中得知疗养院执照将被吊销。

她说，上个月探望弟弟时，未曾听他说起疗养院环境或护理人员有问题。依她观察，弟弟所在的二楼约有五六名年轻护理人员，态度友善，也会照顾住户。

她说，弟弟须靠轮椅代步，家中也无人能够全天候照顾，因此只能等待护联局安排转院。

近期连续两家疗养院被吊销执照，引起公众关注。曹氏基金会主席曹慰萱接受《联合早报》访问时说，家属为长者选择疗养院时，可从四方面评估，包括专业护理能力、护理理念、是否鼓励长者保持活跃，以及居住环境。

她指出，家属可了解疗养院是否有医生参与照护、护理人员与住户的比例是否合理，以及院方如何监测和管理住户的健康状况。

在护理理念方面，她建议观察护理人员是否尊重住户，并与他们保持良好互动，也可留意院方是否安排适当活动，鼓励长者持续学习、保持活跃和维持独立能力。

至于居住环境，她认为疗养院应保持整洁、卫生及安全，并具备充足照明、自然采光及无障碍设施，同时设有让家属探访时保有隐私的空间。

她补充，疗养院不应长期存在明显异味，例如尿味，也应具备照顾认知障碍及行动不便长者的能力。

社会服务机构狮子乐龄之友协会执行董事黄秀琳告诉记者，当局加强稽查和撤销疗养院执照，不应被视为制度失灵，相反健卫部制定明确标准、定期进行监督，并在疗养院违规时采取果断行动，十分重要。

她指这等于向外界传递了清晰信号，政府认真要建立一个让公众能够信赖的护理体系，而随着护理基准持续落实，未来整个行业的服务标准和护理水平，也将逐步提升。

她认同，要在短时间内转移两家疗养院逾百名住户并非易事，短期内或会令其他疗养院床位供应紧张，增加整个行业的压力。

鉴于没有疗养院可大批接纳受影响的住户，她预计住户们会分批转移到其他有床位的疗养院，而住户和他们的家属选项不多，可能无法选择靠近住家的疗养院。

Socialists take fight west, target Colorado in latest bid to oust Democratic Party establishment

June 30, 2026 5:00am EDT / Fox News

DSA-backed Melat Kiros, a first-time candidate, is taking on Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected 3 decades ago

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) is setting its sights on Colorado.

A handful of Tuesday’s primaries in the Democrat-dominated Rocky Mountain state are the next battleground in the fight between the far left and the center-left establishment over the future of the Democratic Party.

“Today, the East Coast, next week the Mountain West,” the DSA wrote in a social media post last week, hours after their ballot-box victories in a handful of congressional primaries in New York City.

The post came after DSA-aligned Darializa Avila Chevalier, a 32-year-old far-left community organizer, ousted incumbent Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, and state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, another democratic socialist, won a congressional primary by defeating an establishment-backed candidate.

VICTORIES BY MAMDANI-BACKED CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES SPOTLIGHTS GROWING RIFT IN DEMOCRATIC PARTY

The victories by Chevalier and Valdez, who were heavily supported by democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, further emboldened the far left as it takes on the center-left establishment in a high-stakes battle for the future of the Democratic Party.

The DSA is now looking to replicate its playbook across the country, starting Tuesday in the Democratic primary in Colorado’s 1st Congressional District, a solidly blue seat anchored in Denver that then-Vice President Kamala Harris carried by a whopping 56 points in the 2024 election.

Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette, who was first elected to Congress three decades ago, is facing two primary challengers, including DSA-backed Melat Kiros, a first-time candidate and former attorney born four months after DeGette first took office.

Kiros, who lost her job as a lawyer in New York after writing an essay critical of Israel, is also supported by Justice Democrats, the nearly decade-old political group known for heavily supporting “Squad” members Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib as they toppled entrenched incumbents in their initial elections to Congress.

“ELECT ANOTHER SOCIALIST TO CONGRESS ON JUNE 30TH,” a DSA social media post states as it urges supporters to lend a hand to the Kiros campaign.

The Democratic Party divide will also play out in the primary in the neighboring 8th Congressional District, which stretches along the I-25 corridor north of Denver.

State Rep. Manny Rutinel is running to the left of former state Rep. Shannon Bird, with the winner taking on Republican Rep. Gabe Evans, who flipped the seat in the 2024 cycle. The race is considered one of two or three dozen that will determine if the GOP holds onto its razor-thin House majority in the midterms.

Immigration has been a top issue in the Democratic primary in a district where roughly 40% of the population is Latino. Rutinel has criticized Bird for a vote she cast last year opposing a measure limiting cooperation between local and state law enforcement and ICE.

MAMDANI-BACKED SOCIALISTS LOOK TO TAKE NEW YORK PLAYBOOK NATIONWIDE AFTER PRIMARY VICTORIES

Another primary showdown highlighting the split between progressives and moderates, as well as the party’s generational divide, is the Senate nomination battle between incumbent Sen. John Hickenlooper, 74, and former state Sen. Julie Gonzales, a 43-year-old progressive. Hickenlooper, a former Denver mayor and two-term governor, has seen his once-large advantage over Gonzales, a one-time DSA member, narrow.

The winner will face Republican state Sen. Mark Baisley, who is unopposed in his primary.

Shannon Jackson, a longtime progressive political strategist and grassroots organizer best known for his leadership roles in Sen. Bernie Sanders’ 2016 and 2020 presidential campaigns, pointed to last week’s results and told Fox News Digital that “people are frustrated.”

“The key message of the victors: Medicare-for-All, the importance of affordability and a living wage. Progressives have long fought for these values and I expect the primary victories to continue,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, the state’s expensive and combustible Democratic gubernatorial primary pits Sen. Michael Bennet against state Attorney General Phil Weiser.

Bennet or Weiser will be considered the clear favorite in the race to succeed two-term Democratic Gov. Jared Polis, the first openly gay man elected governor in the nation’s history.

Weiser, who is running to Bennet’s left on certain issues, closed the gap with the senator as he spotlighted his efforts to take on President Donald Trump, including suing Trump 66 times as attorney general.

The winner will face either state Rep. Scott Bottoms, state Sen. Barb Kirkmeyer or pastor and Marine Corps veteran Victor Marx as the Republican nominee.

拉加德：欧元区已更能抵御地缘政治冲击

欧洲央行行长拉加德对她本月早前决定升息的决策做出辩护，并称美伊停火协议的前景“远远未能让人放心”。 （路透社）

（法兰克福综合电）欧洲央行行长拉加德认为，虽然欧元区正面临更频繁的地缘政治冲击，但它的韧性不断加强，如今已更有能力应对挑战。

拉加德星期一（6月29日）在葡萄牙举行全球央行官员会议开幕式上指出，全球地缘政治环境紧绷，重大冲击越来越频密发生，“而且这些冲击正以新形态出现，市场准入、能源供应和关键矿产正日益被当成地缘政治武器。”

不过她指出，由21个成员国组成的欧元区已具备更强的韧性，欧洲央行的政策工具增加，让它更加灵活。此外，银行监管和财政治理提升，加上近年在低碳能源方面的投资收获成效，都让欧元区更好地应对了各种冲击，包括美国的关税政策以及美伊战争引发的能源冲击。

她说：“虽然我们接下来可能面临更多冲击，将通货膨胀推离目标水平更远，但欧洲所建立起来的韧性意味着这些冲击对经济的影响将更可控。”

拉加德也对欧洲央行本月早前调高基准利率0.25百分点至2.25%，以因应中东战争的冲击做出辩护，否认这是预先“保险”的出招。

这是欧洲央行2023年以来首次升息，有经济师批评没有必要，可能对正在挣扎的欧元区经济带来压力。但拉加德说：“这是有韧性的决策。自那以后，我们并未观察到任何事情让我们质疑这个决策。”

欧洲央行6月11日升息后，美伊在15日宣布达成停火备忘录，油价也随之趋缓。欧元区6月份通胀数据将在本周稍后发布，市场预测可能从5月份的3.2%放缓至3%，将是美伊冲突爆发后首次放缓。

不过，拉加德周一在会上形容停火协议的前景“远远不能让人放心”，或意味着央行决策者接下来可能须决定是否进一步收紧货币政策。

欧洲央行本周在里斯本附近的度假小镇辛特拉举办年度央行会议，出席的全球央行官员包括美联储新任主席沃什和英国央行行长贝利等。

（伦敦综合电）英国政府星期二（6月30日）公布国防投资计划，重点投资50亿英镑（约85亿新元）发展无人机和自主作战系统，在安全威胁不断加剧之际实现军队现代化。

已宣布辞职的英国首相斯塔默在正式公布计划前说：“这项具有变革意义的投资将增强英国武装部队的实力。”

根据英国国防部发布的部分投资计划重点，英国将在未来四年投入50亿英镑，进行武装部队史上规模最大的无人机投资，打造一支整合型部队。

英国皇家海军将转型为混合型海军，结合自主航行舰艇、人工智能（AI）、传统军舰和军机作战，并拨款建造六艘新型军舰。

英国陆军将获得5000万英镑资金，用于采购无人机和研发无人车。英国皇家空军则会研发自主作战战斗机，并于2026年正式部署电子战无人机系统。

这项计划延迟了九个月才公布，促使保守党批评这项计划“来得太迟，而且力度太小”。自由民主党则说，计划危险地低估了英国武装部队的实际需要。

英国军方高层也指出，未来四年的国防预算仍存在约280亿英镑的资金缺口，而政府至今仍未说明，国防投资计划将如何填补这一缺口。

斯塔默选择在卸任前几周公布《国防投资计划》，可能为继任者带来压力，因为新首相上任后，或希望重新调整英国国防开支。

《星期日泰晤士报》报道，被认为最可能出任新首相的伯纳姆已审阅并批准了这项计划，但首相府拒绝证实这一消息。

Body of suspected bear attack victim found on mountain in Japan as deadly encounters continue

June 30, 2026 / 6:17 AM EDT / CBS/AFP

Japanese police are investigating another suspected fatal bear attack, a local official told AFP on Tuesday, as the number of such deaths remains unusually high.

Bear attacks have been on the rise in Japan in recent years, something scientists attribute to a spike in the animals’ population and a declining number of people in rural areas.

Authorities in northern Aomori prefecture said on Monday that a man found dead on a mountain that day may have been attacked by a bear.

“Police are still investigating the cause” of the man’s death, but bear bite marks had been found on his body, a local official told AFP on Tuesday, not giving his name in line with common practice in Japan.

Fatal maulings in the last three months have jumped fivefold compared to last year, according to government data.

Five people have died due to bear attacks since April, according to separate statistics from the environment ministry.

Publicly available ministry data, dating back to the fiscal year ending March 2018, shows that this year is the first to see more than two deaths in the period from April to June.

A record 13 people were killed by bears in Japan last year, and there has been a jump in encounters as the animals emerge hungry from hibernation.

In the year to March, bear sightings nationwide topped 50,000 — more than double the previous record set two years earlier, according to official data.

Deadly trend continues

The apparent attack in Aomori marks the latest example of encroachment by Japan’s growing bear population in areas with an aging and declining human population.

Earlier this month, dozens of police officers, hunters and city officials were deployed in the city of Utsunomiya, north of Tokyo, to catch a bear that roamed the streets for four days, forcing mass school closures.

In the Fukushima region this month, a bear attacked four people at two factories and in a residential area, before escaping hunters.

Bears are thriving thanks in part to an abundance of food — including acorns, deer and boars — under the influence of a warming climate, experts say.

The animals have been seen on airport runways, walking on golf courses, roaming near schools and causing panic in supermarkets and hot spring resorts almost on a daily basis.

The problem was so bad that last year the U.S. State Department warned Americans in Japan to be alert for bears.

A Japanese company making ferocious-looking robot wolves is being swamped by orders amid the spate of bear attacks. “Monster Wolf” is an animatronic scarecrow with flashing red eyes that howls and growls menacingly to scare away wild animals

Fetterman unleashes on ‘dirtbag’ wing of Dems after far-left victories: ‘Orgy of socialism’

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., unloaded on his own party on Sunday evening, blasting a series of victories for progressives he called “anti-America.”

“Big night for the dirtbag left,” Fetterman said, referring to New York’s recent primaries, when two members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) won primaries.

“I’ve said the party is becoming an orgy of socialism. Clearly anti-America, anti-Western Civilization,” Fetterman said.

Fetterman’s striking calls give a rare look at how some moderates may view the developments on their far-left flank that have dominated the party’s momentum in recent months, sparking concern that their high visibility is dragging the party further and further left.

His comments come on the heels of a handful of key progressive victories.

In Maine, Graham Platner, a controversial Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, has attracted controversy for denying knowledge of the meaning behind a Nazi-linked tattoo, for off-color comments about race and calling himself a “communist” in a deleted Reddit post.

In New York, one DSA member, Claire Valdez, won a primary on a platform of abolishing ICE and a Green New Deal-style approach to climate change. Similarly, Darializa Avila-Chevalier, another DSA candidate, beat out incumbent Rep. Adriano Espillat, D-N.Y., a high-ranking Democrat and the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus.

Both Chevalier and Valdez had the backing of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who is a self-proclaimed socialist.

The wins have captured national attention and drawn criticism from Republicans who have pointed to their success as emblematic of the direction of the Democratic Party.

Fetterman, who has not shied away from confrontations, has been one of the few Democrats to express alarm about the kind of candidates carrying the party’s banner.

“I mean, you look at some of the things that people have said. Abolish prison, abolish the border, abolish ICE, I mean these crazy people — I have colleagues in my caucus that refuse to even call this out,” Fetterman said.

“Between P-hustle in Maine and some of the other winners in New York, they should form their own party and run on all the things that they’ve had to delete on social media,” Fetterman said, referring to Platner.

“That’s where our party has moved,” he added.

Fossil found tucked away in a drawer turns out to be first dinosaur bone from Antarctica

June 30, 2026 / 7:52 AM EDT / CBS/AP

Scientists have stumbled on a rare dinosaur fossil from Antarctica, tucked away for decades in a drawer.

The bone comes from the tail of a long-necked, plant-eating dinosaur called a titanosaur. Scientists haven’t yet identified the species it belongs to.

It was discovered in 1985 during an expedition to Antarctica’s James Ross Island and collected by geologist Mike Thomson. Working with the British Antarctic Survey, Thomson was mapping the area’s rock layers and collected marine reptile fossils to help with future dating efforts. He recorded the find as a large reptile.

Decades later, paleontologist Mark Evans spotted the bone in the British Antarctic Survey’s collections and wondered whether it might be a dinosaur.

“It’s only when you start thinking ‘what’s in this drawer,’ that sometimes you come across something and you think, ‘Ah, this looks interesting,’” Evans told BBC News.

He and other researchers analyzed the shape of the bone and compared it to other more complete dinosaur remains, confirming their discovery. The findings were published on Monday in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica.

Dinosaur fossils are rare to find in Antarctica because of the unforgiving ice caps. But millions of years ago, when this dinosaur lived, the region was populated by lush forests — a “rather different and much more hospitable place than we think of today,” said study co-author Paul Barrett with the Natural History Museum in London.

“This discovery represents only the second sauropod body fossil known from Antarctica, although it was the first dinosaur bone to be collected from the continent,” the study’s authors wrote.

At about 23 feet long, the dinosaur was small for its group and may have been young when it died. Scientists don’t know how the creature met its end, but they think its body floated away from the coast and sank to the sea floor, becoming fossilized in marine rock.

More than 100 species of titanosaur have now been identified around the world, according to the BBC. All of them are four-legged plant eaters, with very long necks that helped them reach up into trees and long counter-balancing tails. The biggest titanosaurs were more than 115 feet long and weighed about 60 tons.

Technology has come a long way since the dinosaur tail bone was first found, allowing researchers to peer inside bones and gain even more detailed information about ancient creatures. Thomson died in 2020 before the fossil was identified as belonging to a dinosaur.

“If he were still with us, he would be delighted to know what this was,” Evans, a study co-author, said.
