A county board in Virginia is suing to stop the construction of President Donald Trump’s “Triumphal arch,” bringing another legal challenge to the controversial 250-foot project.

In announcing the suit, brought with the left-leaning nonprofit group “Democracy Forward,” the five-member Arlington County Board argued that the arch “would dramatically worsen traffic in an already-busy corridor,” noting that the proposed site carries a “large numbers of commercial, personal, and emergency vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists” between Arlington and Washington, DC, each day.

The lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Virginia alleges that National Park Service only conducted a “cursory and conclusory” legally mandated review of the impacts of building the arch.

The study failed to look at factors such as how construction could harm public safety in Arlington, such as by “clogging thoroughfares needed for emergency transport services run by the county, including emergency services for Arlington National Cemetery,” the lawsuit said.

“The Arlington County Board has filed this lawsuit because our community has the most to lose from this egregious and unlawful proposed project,” said Arlington County Board Chair Matt de Ferranti.

The proposed site of the arch, Memorial Circle, is an island technically in Washington, DC, but mere yards away from the Virginia and Arlington county border. Traffic flows into the circle from Virginia into DC and from DC to Virginia. Running and bike paths also criss cross the site, which overlooks nearby Arlington National Cemetery.

Previously, a National Park Service report acknowledged that the arch would have “adverse effects” on dozens of historical landmarks and sightlines.

Despite this, the Trump administration has been fast-tracking the approval process, driving towards the goal of building the president’s arch before he leaves office.

Last month, an analysis, known as a Section 106 review, which usually requires independent groups that have an interest or expertise in historical preservation matters related to a project to sign off, was abruptly ended without consensus – a move that effectively evaded the federal historical preservation law that has been in place since 1966.

The administration has been eyeing the next National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) meeting, scheduled for November 5, for final approval of the arch. The project has previously been approved by the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA).

NCPC and CFA are the two key federal agencies which oversee architecture and design changes in DC and must approve projects like the arch before they are built.

The arch is also the subject of another high-profile lawsuit brought by Vietnam Veterans and preservation groups.

Trump creates committee to probe allegations of mortgage fraud by Fed Governor Lisa Cook

October 9, 2026 / 11:39 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington — President Trump established a committee to look into allegations that Lisa Cook, a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, made false statements on mortgage documents, the latest step in his renewed effort to fire Cook from her post with the central bank.

The president signed a memorandum, dated Wednesday, creating what he said is a “committee of inquiry” that will be made up of three members: the assistant to the president for economic policy, chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and head of the Office of Government Ethics.

After conducting its investigation into Cook, the committee will report to Mr. Trump whether there is “cause” to remove her from the Fed Board. The three-member panel will hold an in-person hearing at the White House on Nov. 5 to “consider the evidence and allegations” against Cook, according to the memorandum. The hearing will not be public, but will be transcribed, the White House said.

Cook has the opportunity to submit a “written position statement” to the committee in response to the accusations against her and can appear at the proceeding, the president’s memorandum stated.

“Governor Cook may present argument, written evidence, and written witness statements regarding the evidence and allegations,” it continued. “The Committee may also question Governor Cook about any representations she or her counsel make during the hearing, or it may authorize its representatives, including Department of Justice personnel, to conduct that questioning.”

Abbe Lowell and Norm Eisen, Cook’s lawyers, said she “welcomes the opportunity to present the facts so she can clear her name and demonstrate there is no legal basis to fire her.”

“In light of the President’s repeated statements that he has already decided to fire Governor Cook — regardless of the facts and evidence — we have grave doubts that this ‘hearing’ is a legitimate one that would conform to the law. But if it is anything close to objective, the conclusion will be that Governor Cook did not commit mortgage fraud, leaving no cause to remove her from the Federal Reserve Board,” they said in a statement. “We have engaged with the White House to evaluate whether the process proposed has a possibility of being a genuine one and not simply a box checking exercise.”

The president’s creation of the committee to investigate the claims against Cook appears to be the latest attempt by Mr. Trump to ensure any effort to fire her can stand up to legal scrutiny. The president first attempted to oust Cook from the Fed last year after a senior member of his administration, Bill Pulte, claimed she made false statements on mortgage documents related to two properties before she joined the central bank.

Cook challenged her removal, arguing that it violated federal law, which allows a president to remove a member of the Fed’s board “for cause.”

The Supreme Court ruled in June that Cook could continue serving in her post while her legal challenge to her purported removal continued. In a 5-4 decision, the high court found that Mr. Trump failed to provide Cook the procedural protections she was entitled to under the law — specifically notice and the opportunity to respond to the allegations before she was fired.

“That is not to say that a Federal Reserve Governor is entitled to an audience with the President or a fullblown judicial trial,” Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the majority. “Instead, all that is required is notice ‘to the officer of the charges made against him’ and ‘an opportunity to be heard in his defense.’”

Roberts continued: “We see no reason why that opportunity ‘may not be had on written materials only,’ with no oral presentation. All that is required is ‘the right to support his allegations by argument however brief, and, if need be, by proof, however informal,’ before a final decision is made.”

Mr. Trump mounted another attempt to fire Cook after the Supreme Court ruled in her favor. In a letter to the Fed governor in August, the White House informed Cook that Mr. Trump was considering removing her because of the mortgage-fraud allegations and laid out the claims against her. The White House also set a deadline for Cook to respond.

Cook denied the accusations and argued in a response to the White House that she has “never committed mortgage fraud.” Lowell, Cook’s lawyer, said that attempting to remove her on the basis of the mortgage-fraud allegations would “ignore the facts and the law.”

印尼红毛猩猩被迫穿越火海爬树逃生

2026-10-09 19:31 / 联合早报

婆罗洲红毛猩猩生存基金会搜救团队9月26日在中加里曼丹省首府帕朗卡拉亚一处过火森林拍摄的画面显示，四岁雌性红毛猩猩诺维塔穿过火场爬到树梢避难，手掌与脚掌皮肤严重烧伤。当时树下的土地还在燃烧，浓烟密布。 （法新社）

（帕朗卡拉亚法新电）印度尼西亚苏门答腊与加里曼丹林火持续蔓延，肆虐的野火逼得濒危物种红毛猩猩不得不赤脚踏过烈火灼烧的地面，爬到树梢避难。当地救援人员与环保机构紧急救出多只被浓烟呛伤及被火烧伤的红毛猩猩。

救援人员星期四（10月8日）在中加里曼丹省救出一只名为巴拉（Bara）的雄性红毛猩猩。中加里曼丹省自然资源保护局官员翰迪接受法新社访问时说：“它被发现躲在一片刚刚烧毁的土地的一棵树的树顶。当时火在周围烧着，烟雾相当浓烈。看到土地烧成这样，我们不敢相信它能活下来。”

翰迪说，巴拉轻微烧伤，目前健康状况尚算稳定，将被转移到当地其他自然保护区。

搜救人员9月下旬也救出一只名为诺维塔（Novita）的四岁雌性红毛猩猩。婆罗洲红毛猩猩生存基金会执行长贾马丁透露，诺维塔不得不穿过火场爬到树梢避难，导致手掌与脚掌皮肤严重烧伤。

诺维塔正接受治疗。中加里曼丹省自然资源保护局局长安迪星期四受访时说，虽然诺维塔的伤势有所好转，但即使康复，可能无法百分之百恢复到受伤前的状态。

红毛猩猩是濒危物种。世界自然基金会估计，加里曼丹与苏门答腊目前的红毛猩猩仅剩约10万4000只。世界自然保护联盟上个月警告，印尼林火已威胁到加里曼丹52%红毛猩猩的栖息地。

印尼受强厄尔尼诺现象影响，今年的林火异常猛烈。

双方也同意加强出口管制政策沟通，包括在相关物项列入管制清单前提前通报，提高清单调整程序的透明度，并支持在各自法律框架下启动移单程序。

在市场准入方面，双方同意继续探讨在世贸组织规则框架下降低部分商品关税的可能性，并就医疗器械、化妆品及药品等领域的市场准入问题保持磋商。

欧盟欢迎中国扩大进口欧盟医疗器械的措施，包括在第九届中国国际进口博览会期间举办采购对接会。双方也同意就欧盟《外国补贴条例》开展技术对话。

中欧双方在声明中重申，作为关键贸易伙伴，在世贸组织规则框架下，妥善处理双方分歧，致力于继续稳定双边经贸关系，并使其更加平衡。

双方商定，明年1月举行部长级视频会议，并于2027年3月召开中欧贸易投资磋商机制第三次例会。

Schumer says he’s not going anywhere, but his own candidates aren’t ready to back him

Candidates like Adam Hamilton and Sen. Elissa Slotkin have called for new ideas and change in Democratic leadership

Democratic US Senate nominees, progressive activists turn against Chuck Schumer

‘The Big Weekend Show’ panel discusses progressive opposition to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s, D-N.Y., 2028 presidential prospects and New York City council member Chi Ossé’s potential Senate run.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is confident that Democrats will win the Senate, but whether they support him as leader remains to be seen.

Schumer, who has led the Senate Democratic Caucus since 2017, believes that Democrats have “wind in our sails” heading into what some Republicans fear could be a brutal midterm election in November.

And win or lose, he plans to retain his spot as the top Democrat in the Senate.

12 RACES SCRAMBLE SENATE BATTLEFIELD AS DEMOCRATS EYE COMEBACK

“I am running for re-election for leader,” Schumer told Politico. “Period.”

But some of his own candidates on the trail running in elections that could shape the balance of power in the Senate aren’t keen on supporting him to once again lead Senate Democrats since he took the mantle from his friend and mentor, the late Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Adam Hamilton, who has gained enough ground on incumbent Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., in ruby-red Kansas to make it a toss-up race, reiterated this week that he won’t support Schumer for leader in either a majority or minority.

“And no disrespect for him at all, it’s just that I think we need new ideas,” Hamilton told CBS News. “We need new ideas, we need fresh leadership. I support term limits. I support age limits, and I just think there’s a time where we need to have new and fresh leadership coming in, and I think this is one of those times.”

SCHUMER DUCKS QUESTION ON CAMPAIGNING WITH SOCIALIST CANDIDATE WHO REFUSES TO BACK HIM AS LEADER

He’s not alone, either. Both Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan and Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan in Minnesota have been noncommittal — during and after their primary victories earlier this year — with their support of Schumer, despite both welcoming dollars from the Senate Majority PAC, the political action committee closely aligned with the Democratic leader.

Fox News Digital reached out to both campaigns for comment.

Since the 2024 election, when Schumer lost the Senate, Democrats have quietly questioned a new path in leadership. Those conversations emerged twice last year — when Schumer refused to allow a shutdown early in President Donald Trump’s term, and when he was unable to prevent Democrats from jumping ship to end the longest full government shutdown in history.

SLOTKIN SAYS DEMOCRATIC PARTY NEEDS ‘NEW LEADERSHIP’: ‘OLD MODELS ARE NO LONGER WORKING’

Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., talks to reporters as he heads for a vote at the U.S. Capitol on June 1, 2026, in Washington, D.C.(Getty Images)

While many Democratic senators won’t publicly engage with the topic of replacing Schumer, Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., did. Earlier this year she argued that Democrats were still reeling from the 2024 election, and that “every day, there’s a debate within the party about the path forward.”

“That’s why I believe we need significant new leadership,” Slotkin said. “The old models are no longer working, and that includes the Democratic Party.”

One lawmaker has emerged as a possible replacement who has the backing of progressives, including El-Sayed: Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md.

Van Hollen declined to say whether he would mount a bid against Schumer, but said before leaving Washington, D.C., last month that the midterms were “all I am focused on.”

Other Democrats aren’t quick to weigh in, either. When asked if retaking the upper chamber could strengthen Schumer’s hand, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., declined to say.

“I’m not doing those questions now,” Murphy said.

Nobel Peace Prize 2026 awarded to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, former International Criminal Court judge

2026-10-09T05:12:00-0400 / CBS/AP

The Nobel Peace Prize for 2026 was awarded Friday to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay, a South African-born former judge with the International Criminal Court who went on to become the United Nations human rights chief and is still serving with the U.N.’s other judicial body, the International Court of Justice. She also led a U.N. inquiry last year that accused Israel of genocide in the Gaza Strip, and Israel was quick to condemn her receiving the honor on Friday.

The Nobel Committee said it was honoring Pillay “for her efforts to promote peace and international law,” and that awarding the prize to someone with her body of work on international justice was a message to those seeking to undermine international law institutions.

The South African-born former United Nations human rights chief, who is 85, was recognized for her efforts to promote peace and international law, said Jørgen Watne Frydnes, chair of the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

“This is definitely a message to those who are undermining the international system and institutions,” Frydnes said.

“The system of international law is under tremendous pressure and its institutions are under attack,” he said, noting what the committee saw as a shift “towards power politics at the expense of legal frameworks and global respect for law and justice.”

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has come under fire from Israel and the Trump administration in recent years, with the U.S. imposing sanctions against the U.N. court last year after it issued an arrest warrant in 2024 for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. President Trump accused the court of “illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel.”

The ICC condemned the U.S. sanctions against its staff and said they were intended to “harm (the Court’s) independent and impartial judicial work.”

Pillay served as an ICC judge from 2003 until 2008, when she resigned to take on the role of United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. She was the chair of the U.N. Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory that said last year it had concluded Israel’s actions in Gaza amounted to genocide. Israel dismissed the report as “scandalous.”

The Israeli Foreign Ministry blasted the Nobel committee for awarding the prize to Pillay on Friday, saying in a statement posted online that “if there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner. Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genoLIE speaks volumes.”

It condemned the committee for awarding her as “the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.”

Pillay is currently serving as an ad hoc judge for the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which is separate to the ICC, in the case of Gambia v. Myanmar, in which Myanmar’s ruling military junta stands accused of genocide over its treatment of the nation’s Rohingya Muslim minority in the western state of Rakhine.

Frydnes said the committee wasn’t immediately able to reach Pillay Friday to tell her she had been awarded the prize, adding from the podium that if she was watching and saw a call coming in from a Norwegian phone number, to “please pick up.”

Pillay soon appeared in a video posted on social media by the head of Amnesty International, being applauded by well-wishers at the Palace of Justice in Nuremberg, Germany.

“If you clap a little bit louder I may share this prize with Trump,” she quipped, drawing laughs from the crowd. She said that when she was informed that she had been awarded the prize, she first thought “it must be a joke,” and that as a “lawyer and a judge, I still want to verify this thing.”

She noted that she was lauded by the Nobel committee for her courage, which she questioned, saying: “You can imagine how surprised I was. Why would you need courage to speak the truth? You interpret the law, you look at all the facts, so it’s an impartial decision you make.”

Last year, Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado won the Nobel Peace Prize for her struggle to achieve a democratic transition in the South American nation, winning recognition as a woman “who keeps the flame of democracy burning amid a growing darkness.”

Machado gave President Trump, who has long said he deserves the prize, her Nobel medal shortly after the United States ousted then-President Nicolás Maduro. But it was largely a symbolic gesture: The Nobel Committee has said the honor itself cannot be transferred.

Nominations can be made by a select group of people and organizations, including heads of state or politicians serving at a national level, university professors, directors of foreign policy institutes, past Nobel Prize recipients and members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee itself.

Four of this year’s Nobels were announced earlier this week. The Nobel for medicine went to three scientists whose work led to a tool that uses light to help unravel how the brain works. The physics award recognized a scientist’s efforts to demystify a rare group of neutrinos. The chemistry prize recognized two scientists for untangling mysterious mirror images in molecules, a discovery that has been used to develop countless drugs.

Canadian poet, essayist and translator Anne Carson won the literature prize Thursday for “bold and inventive” works that fuse the classical and the modern and blur the boundaries of poetry and prose.

The Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences will be announced Monday.

The prize money this year is 12 million Swedish kronor (about $1.2 million).

Education activist Malala Yousafzai is the youngest Nobel Peace Prize laureate; she won at 17 in 2014.

The United States is the most-credited country, with 24 awards naming U.S. institutions or individuals, ahead of the United Kingdom (13) and Switzerland (11). No laureate listed as American has won since then-President Barack Obama was awarded in 2009.

The prize has gone unawarded on 19 occasions, most of them during the world wars. In 1948, the year Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated, no prize was awarded; he had been nominated 12 times and never won.

In 1939, a Swedish member of parliament nominated Adolf Hitler, then withdrew the nomination, saying it was never meant seriously.

南非人权律师纳瓦尼特姆·皮莱（Navanethem Pillay）获颁2026年诺贝尔和平奖。

挪威诺贝尔委员会主席弗里德内斯星期五（10月9日）说，现年85岁的皮莱因致力于促进和平及维护国际法而获奖。

综合外电报道，诺贝尔委员会说，皮莱在漫长的职业生涯中，始终坚守道德原则，致力追究国家及领导人的责任，并为暴力和冲突受害者带来希望。

皮莱1941年出生于南非德班一个印度裔家庭，在种族隔离制度下成长，是南非首批印度裔女性执业律师之一。她曾为反种族隔离运动人士辩护，并致力改善监狱中的歧视性待遇。

委员会指出，从早年为南非反种族隔离领袖曼德拉等人辩护，到后来担任法官审理当代一些重要的国际司法案件，皮莱始终秉持相同的信念。

种族隔离制度结束后，她出任卢旺达问题国际刑事法庭法官，在那里协助确立了具有里程碑意义的法律先例，将强奸认定为种族灭绝行为。此后，她曾担任国际刑事法院法官，并于2008年至2014年间担任联合国人权事务高级专员。

皮莱获颁诺贝尔和平奖后，开玩笑说，如果现场观众继续为她鼓掌，她或许会考虑与美国总统特朗普分享奖项。

国际特赦组织秘书长在社交平台X发布的视频显示，皮莱在德国纽伦堡得知获奖消息后，受到现场观众热烈鼓掌。

她笑说：“如果你们再多鼓掌一点，我或许会和特朗普分享这个奖。”

皮莱坦言，得知获奖消息时，第一反应是以为有人在开玩笑。“作为律师和法官，我还是想核实一下”，确保消息属实。

今年诺贝尔和平奖共有287名个人及组织获提名。美国总统特朗普多次表明自己应获和平奖，使外界关注他对结果的反应。

特朗普星期三（7日）称，诺贝尔委员会一向不愿把奖颁给像他这样的人，而这“将严重损害委员会声誉”。不过，专家此前普遍认为，特朗普因对伊朗发动战争、对格陵兰岛的领土野心，以及对多边主义的攻击等，不太可能获奖。

据报道，热门人选包括致力协助苏丹战争受害者的紧急应变室（Emergency Response Rooms，简称ERR）志愿者网络、推动被带往俄罗斯的乌克兰儿童返国的库列巴（Mykola Kuleba）、慈善机构救助儿童会、国际刑事法院和保护记者委员会等。

与此同时，预测市场Polymarket出现异常投注。俄罗斯已故反对派领袖纳瓦尔尼的遗孀尤利娅·纳瓦尔纳娅（Yulia Navalnaya）曾突然成为热门人选，胜出概率一度升至65.5%，随后回落至约23%。

美查封七网域打击中国黑客基础设施 北京反对散布虚假信息

美国政府采取新一轮行动，查封七个互联网域名，以打击与中国永信至诚科技集团有关联的黑客活动。中国外交部回应表示，坚决反对出于政治目的散布虚假信息。

路透社报道，美国司法部星期四（10月8日）发布声明说，这些域名被用于协助中国黑客扫描和入侵美国及其他国家的关键基础设施系统。

美司法部说，这是美国第二次公开采取行动，破坏永信至诚科技集团的黑客基础设施。美国政府2024年9月曾宣布，在法院授权下瓦解了这家公司运营的一个僵尸网络。该网络由美国及世界各地超过25万台遭入侵的个人和家庭设备组成。

时任美国联邦调查局局长克里斯托弗·雷（Christopher Wray）当时说，永信至诚科技集团是代号为“亚麻台风”（Flax Typhoon）的中国大型黑客组织的幕后推手，并为北京的安全机构执行情报收集和侦察任务。

针对美国司法部关于中国网络攻击的言论，中国外交部发言人毛宁星期五（9日）在例行记者会上称，中方一贯坚决反对并依法打击黑客活动，同时坚决反对出于政治目的散布虚假信息、制造各种杂音。

涉网袭六成员国逾6万台设备 欧盟制裁中国与伊朗公司

毛宁说，维护网络安全是中美的共同关切。中国敦促美国摒弃双重标准和政治操弄，与中国通过平等对话协商共同应对网络安全风险，构建和平稳定、相互尊重的中美网络关系。
