中国法院本周公布的庭审画面显示，即将68岁的前中国首富许家印满头白发、一脸疲态地聆听判决。 （中新社）
时隔多年再次出现在公众眼前的中国前首富许家印，和人们记忆中的形象已判若两人。
不少人认识许家印，是在2012年的中国“两会”期间。当时身为全国政协委员的许家印为冲出记者包围，在人民大会堂外一路小跑，脸上挂着标志性微笑，腰间露出金灿灿的爱马仕皮带扣。
那年54岁的许家印，和他创办的房地产巨头恒大集团一样意气风发。而在本周公布的庭审画面中，即将68岁的许家印满头白发、一脸疲态，恰似近年来陷入泥潭的中国楼市。

美国联邦卫生官员周五表示，一场已导致15个州数十人患病的大肠杆菌与沙门氏菌疫情，已与明尼苏达州的一家苜蓿种植商相关联。
美国食品药品监督管理局在一份新闻稿中表示，此次疫情与明尼阿波利斯市的“一切芽苗菜”公司分销的苜蓿芽有关，这些芽苗以“一切芽苗菜”和“卡尔科”品牌销售。FDA称，这些芽苗被供应给了餐厅和杂货店。
“一切芽苗菜”公司随后于周五宣布，自愿召回特定批次的苜蓿芽，这些芽苗可能携带可引发大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染的志贺毒素。
“一切芽苗菜”公司表示，被召回的苜蓿芽自5月27日起供应给明尼苏达州和威斯康星州的第三方分销商及零售杂货店。该公司称，部分被召回的芽苗装在带盖的5盎司塑料容器中。
“一切芽苗菜”公司在一份声明中表示，疫情暴发以来该公司每日都进行检测，“未收到任何阳性实验室结果”。
“截至目前，公司未收到任何涉及‘日常芽苗菜’牌苜蓿芽的患病报告，”“一切芽苗菜”公司称。
根据美国疾病控制与预防中心的数据，此次疫情目前已确认至少55例大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染病例，其中4名患者已住院治疗。
FDA表示，在全国范围内与此次疫情相关的55名确诊患者中，46人感染了大肠杆菌，7人感染了沙门氏菌，另有2人同时感染了两种病菌。
FDA称，这些病例的报告时间为5月31日至8月8日。
明尼苏达州和威斯康星州目前的确诊病例似乎最多。明尼苏达州卫生部门周四公布了本州的数据，称7月8日至8月8日期间，该州已有至少23例与苜蓿芽相关的沙门氏菌或大肠杆菌感染病例，其中2例住院治疗。
威斯康星州卫生服务部门周四报告了至少17例大肠杆菌和沙门氏菌感染病例，其中1例住院。
根据FDA的信息，其他出现相关疫情病例的州还有佛罗里达州、印第安纳州、艾奥瓦州、堪萨斯州、密歇根州、新罕布什尔州、纽约州、北卡罗来纳州、北达科他州、宾夕法尼亚州、南卡罗来纳州、南达科他州和华盛顿州。
根据CDC的信息，志贺毒素引发的大肠杆菌感染症状包括严重胃痉挛、带血腹泻和呕吐。
沙门氏菌感染的症状包括腹泻、发烧和胃痉挛。
此次疫情紧随一场始于6月的持续性沙门氏菌疫情，该疫情与墨西哥锡那罗亚州种植的哈拉佩尼奥辣椒相关，目前已导致32个州的400多人患病，CDC称。

An outbreak of E. coli and salmonella that has sickened dozens of people across 15 states has been linked to an alfalfa grower in Minnesota, federal health officials said Friday.
The Food and Drug Administration said in a news release that the outbreak was linked to alfalfa sprouts distributed by Minneapolis-based Everything Sprouts and sold under the Everything Sprouts and Calco brands. The sprouts were sold to restaurants and grocery stores, the FDA said.
Everything Sprouts announced later Friday that it was voluntarily recalling certain lots of alfalfa sprouts that could potentially be contaminated with the Shiga toxin that can produce E. coli and salmonella.
The recalled alfalfa sprouts were supplied starting on May 27 to third-party distributors and retail grocery stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin, Everything Sprouts said. Some of the recalled sprouts come in 5-ounce plastic containers with a lid, the company said.
Everything Sprouts said in a statement that it has conducted daily tests since the outbreak began and has “not received any positive lab results.”
“To date, no reports of illnesses involving Everyday Sprouts Alfalfa Sprouts have been reported to the company,” Everything Sprouts said.
At least 55 cases of E. coli and salmonella have been confirmed in the outbreak so far, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, four patients have been hospitalized.
The FDA said that of the 55 people with confirmed illnesses nationwide linked to the outbreak, 46 were infected with E. coli and seven with salmonella, while two people were infected with both illnesses.
The illnesses were reported from May 31 to Aug. 8, the FDA said.
Minnesota and Wisconsin appear to have experienced the most cases so far. The Minnesota Department of Health reported its own numbers Thursday, saying there have been at least 23 cases of salmonella or E. coli in the state between July 8 and Aug. 8 linked to alfalfa sprouts, with two of those cases resulting in hospitalization.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reported Thursday at least 17 cases of E. coli and salmonella, with one hospitalization.
Other states with cases linked to the outbreak are Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, New Hampshire, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota and Washington, according to the FDA.
According to the CDC, symptoms of E. coli caused by the Shiga toxin can include severe stomach cramps, diarrhea that could be bloody and vomiting.
Symptoms of salmonella include diarrhea, fever and stomach cramps.
This follows an ongoing salmonella outbreak first reported in June linked to jalapeño peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, that has so far sickened more than 400 people across 32 states, according to the CDC.

Aug 21 (Reuters) – U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is expected to step down from his role by the end of the year after months of tension with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the discussions.
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.

Driscoll’s departure would leave the Army without a Senate-confirmed leader as the U.S. looks to resolve a war it began alongside Israel nearly six months ago.

It would also add to upheaval at all levels of leadership at the Pentagon under President Donald Trump’s second term, including the firing of U.S. Army Chief of Staff Randy George in April, the previous chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as well as the chief of naval operations and Air Force vice chief of staff.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Driscoll and his family this summer moved out of the house reserved for the Army Secretary.
Driscoll’s spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

周五，唐纳德·特朗普总统为其暂时暂停进口牛肉关税的决定辩护，尽管此举遭到了部分美国养牛业者的批评。
“我们想要降低牛肉价格，我们会把价格降一点，这是民众想要的。这是选民想要的，也是我想要的，”特朗普在前往南卡罗来纳州的路上对记者表示。
特朗普称牧场主是他的“自己人”，他说：“他们干得非常出色。但他们也承认，我们需要一点帮助。”
特朗普周五早些时候宣布，美国将在未来90天内允许最多30万公吨碎牛肉进口，且无需缴纳配额外关税。他拒绝向记者透露他已与哪些国家达成协议。“我不想说是哪些国家，但有几个国家，他们送来的将是最高品质的牛肉，这正是我们需要的，”特朗普说道。
全国养牛业牛肉协会反驳了特朗普的声明，在社交媒体上写道：“美国没有任何肉牛养殖户要求增加进口。用外国竞争对手的劣质产品削弱美国农民和牧场主的利益，既无法建立市场信心，也无法促进牛群规模的恢复。”
参议员查克·格拉斯利表示，考虑到本月早些时候伊利诺伊州乔斯林市的泰森牛肉工厂关闭，再加上白宫最新的临时举措，他“对肉牛市场感到担忧”。
这位爱荷华州共和党人在X平台上因字符限制使用了缩写，他写道：“上周伊利诺伊州泰森工厂关闭后，我就对肉牛市场感到担忧，现在特朗普总统又决定临时开放受补贴的牛肉进口。美国养牛业者理应通过‘美国优先’政策始终被放在首位。我们需要继续推进对抗螺旋蛆虫的工作，并扩大国内牛群规模。”
共和党籍蒙大拿州参议员蒂姆·希伊也公开反对这项举措，他称自己一年来一直建议特朗普不要采取此举。
“一年来我一直建议特朗普总统不要采取这种做法，因为美国牧场主数十年来一直在对抗屠宰垄断企业，而这一举措将进一步损害他们的利益——他们中的大多数人都是‘让美国再次伟大’的共和党支持者，”希伊在X平台上写道。他补充道，特朗普想要降低美国消费者的价格，其“出发点是好的”，并指出螺旋蛆虫疫情正在影响牛肉价格。
“但现实是，这一举措将使美国牧场主更难恢复牛群规模，也更难为美国民众降低牛肉价格。最重要的是，这将损害那些为全国提供食物的牧场家庭的利益，”希伊说道。
当被美国有线电视新闻网问及希伊的评论时，白宫副幕僚长斯蒂芬·米勒表示：“没有任何一届政府比本届政府更支持牧场主，我们农业部采取了非凡行动来保护并确保我们食品供应链的安全——但再说一次，墨西哥曾爆发过螺旋蛆虫疫情。”
他强调，这是“一项针对紧急问题的具体临时协议”。
Trump defends pause on beef tariffs amid criticism from US cattle producers

President Donald Trump on Friday defended his decision to temporarily pause tariffs on imported beef, despite criticism from some US cattle producers.
“We want to get the beef prices down, so we’ll get them down a little bit, and that’s what people want. That’s what the voters want, and that’s what I want,” Trump told reporters on his way to South Carolina.
Calling ranchers his “people,” Trump said, “They’ve done a fantastic job. But they admit that we need a little help.”
Trump announced earlier Friday that the US would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef to be imported for the next 90 days without out-of-quota tariffs. He wouldn’t tell reporters which countries he’d made a deal with. “I don’t want to say which countries, but there are a few countries, but they’re going to be sending in the highest quality beef, and it’s something that we need,” Trump said.
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association pushed back on Trump’s announcement, writing on social media, “No cow-calf producer in America is asking for increased imports. Undercutting American farmers and ranchers with inferior product from foreign competitors does nothing to create market confidence or encourage rebuilding the herd.”
Sen. Chuck Grassley said he was “concerned for the cattle markets,” given theclosure of a Tyson beef plant in Joslin, Illinois, earlier this month and the latest temporary action from the White House.
“After Tyson closure in Illinois last wk I’m concerned for the cattle markets +now Pres Trump’s decision to temporarily open up subsidized beef imports,” the Iowa Republican posted on X, using abbreviations for words due to the character limits. “USA cattlemen shld always be put 1st thru America 1st policies Need 2keep up progress fighting screwworm+ expanding domestic herd.”
GOP Sen. Tim Sheehy of Montana also came out against the action, which he said he advised Trump not to take for the past year.
“I’ve advised President Trump against this course of action for a year because American ranchers have been struggling against the packer monopoly for decades, and this will further harm them – most of whom are MAGA Republicans,” Sheehy wrote on X, adding that Trump’s “heart is in the right place” for wanting to lower prices for US consumers and noted that the screwworm is impacting prices.
“But the reality is this action will make it more difficult for American ranchers to rebuild our herd and bring prices down for the American people. And most importantly, this will harm our ranching families who feed the nation,” Sheehy said.
Pressed by CNN on Sheehy’s comments, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said, “No administration has been more pro-rancher than this administration taking extraordinary actions under USDA to protect and ensure the security of our food supply chain — but again, there’s been, there was an outbreak of screwworm in Mexico.”
And he emphasized that this is “a specific, temporary deal to address an acute issue.”

五角大楼周五发布的年度性侵问题评估报告显示，2025财年美军官方性侵举报数和估算性侵总人数均有所下降。
该评估报告包含每两年开展一次的匿名调查数据，受访美军官兵需报告自身是否遭遇不当性行为或性骚扰，这一调查能为官员们提供更准确的美军内部问题规模参考指标。
调查显示，报告称曾遭遇不当性接触的现役女兵比例从2023财年的6.8%降至2025财年的4.3%，现役男兵的这一比例则从1.3%降至1%。
这是继2021年女兵8.4%、男兵1.6%的高发率之后，性侵发生率连续第二次出现下降。
五角大楼数据显示，2025财年涉及现役官兵作为受害者或施害者的官方性侵举报共有7998起，低于2024年的8195起和2023年的8515起。
举报率从2023财年的25%升至2025年的33%，五角大楼认为这是一件好事，因为他们希望受害者能够放心挺身而出。
五角大楼在随报告发布的新闻稿中表示：“国防部将继续鼓励更多人举报性侵行为，以便为官兵提供至关重要的康复护理，并帮助领导层对施害者进行恰当问责。”

五角大楼发现，2025财年估计共有20492名美军官兵遭受性侵，其中6843人提交了官方举报。
负责人事与战备的国防部副部长安东尼·J·塔塔在一份声明中表示：“尊严、尊重和纪律是军人精神和部队整体战备状态的基石。性侵和性骚扰破坏了这些价值观，侵蚀了信任并威胁到任务完成。”
这份国会授权要求发布的报告过去通常于春季发布，并会为记者安排提问简报会，此次由五角大楼于周五在网上公开。
Reports of sexual assault in the military declined for third straight year, Pentagon says

Official reports of sexual assault and the estimated number of sexual assaults in the military both decreased in fiscal year 2025, according to the Pentagon’s annual review of sexual assault released on Friday.
The review included data from an anonymous survey conducted every other year that asks service members whether they’ve been the victim of unwanted sexual conduct or harassment, which gives officials a more accurate indicator of the scale of the problem within the ranks.
The survey found that the number of active duty women who said they’ve experienced unwanted sexual contact declined from 6.8% in fiscal year 2023 to 4.3% in fiscal year 2025, and the rate for active duty men decreased from 1.3% to 1%.
This is the second survey in a row with a decrease in prevalence after high rates of 8.4% for women and 1.6% for men in 2021.
The Pentagon received 7,998 official reports of sexual assault involving either service members as victims or offenders in fiscal year 2025, a decrease from 8,195 in 2024, and 8,515 in 2023.
The rate of reporting increased from 25% in fiscal year 2023, to 33% in 2025, which the Pentagon said it considers a good thing because it wants victims to feel like they can come forward.
“The Department continues to encourage greater reporting to connect warfighters with vital restorative care and enable leadership to hold offenders appropriately accountable,” the Pentagon said in a news release that accompanied the report.
blob:https://www.cbsnews.com/e833abfa-178a-4c86-918e-753fab6f36ae
Out of an estimated 20,492 service members impacted by sexual assault in fiscal year 2025, 6,843 made official reports, the Pentagon found.
“Dignity, respect, and discipline are foundational to the warrior ethos and the overall preparedness of the force. Sexual assault and sexual harassment undermine these values, eroding trust and threatening the mission,” Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Anthony J. Tata said in a statement.
The congressionally mandated report, which in the past has been released in the spring with a briefing for reporters to ask questions, was published online by the Pentagon on Friday.

华盛顿8月21日路透电 — 美国最高法院周五暂时允许唐纳德·特朗普总统政府继续推进其白宫宴会厅工程，暂停了一项将叫停大部分施工的司法禁令。
法院此次行动即所谓的“行政暂停令”，为大法官们留出更多时间，考虑政府提出的在历史保护组织提起的阻止工程诉讼进行期间，继续推进这项耗资4亿美元宴会厅工程的正式请求。
路透社每日简报通讯为您提供开启一天所需的全部新闻。点击此处订阅。
此次暂停令由负责处理华盛顿特区紧急案件的首席大法官约翰·罗伯茨签署。
在8月14日提交给最高法院的文件中，司法部律师呼应了特朗普的观点，称该项目是安全必要之举，并援引针对总统的暗杀企图和近期其他威胁作为依据。
“本案涉及一项非同寻常且非法的禁令，它将叫停白宫东翼综合军事设施的在建工程，其中包括完全安全的宴会厅空间，而这是国家安全至关重要的需求，”他们写道。
这家非营利组织美国历史保护信托基金去年在政府拆除白宫东翼并开始建造9万平方英尺（约合8360平方米）的宴会厅后提起诉讼，当时政府未寻求国会的明确批准。特朗普曾表示，这座宴会厅将成为“有史以来最棒的同类建筑”。
最高法院周五采取行动后，美国历史保护信托基金的一位发言人表示：“需要明确的是，这并非对政府暂停申请实质内容的最终裁决，我们正等待进一步的行动。”
该项目将地上宴会厅与大型地下综合体相结合。特朗普表示，该项目包括防空洞、医疗设施、无人机和导弹防护装置以及其他安全设施，“全部整合为一个庞大、昂贵且极为复杂的整体”。
8月7日，美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院以2比1的裁决维持了美国地区法官理查德·里昂的命令，要求政府停止地上施工。该命令原定于周五生效。
“每位总统都是白宫的临时住户，而非所有者，”哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的裁决写道，“未经国会批准，不得从根本上重塑白宫。”
地区法官的命令并未永久禁止建造宴会厅。它叫停了地上施工，但允许地下施工继续进行，以及被认定为“严格必要”的白宫安全保障工作。在裁决中，哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院表示，国家安全论点“并非自动获得的免罚金牌”。
司法部在8月14日的文件中表示，整个东翼工程——包括地下设施和地上宴会厅——已完成65%。
特朗普曾表示，宴会厅项目是安全必要之举，并在Truth Social的帖子中将该建筑称为“军事中心”。特朗普称哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的裁决“骇人听闻”且带有政治动机，并表示这让他、其他白宫官员和访客面临遇袭风险。
“这项不公正的裁决必须被最高法院完全推翻，”特朗普写道。
美国历史保护信托基金在法庭文件中敦促大法官们驳回政府在诉讼进行期间继续推进宴会厅建设的请求。
“每一个审查过该问题的法院都一致认为（特朗普政府）没有单方面的法律权力——无论是宪法、成文法还是其他方面——在已拆除的东翼场地建造大型宴会厅，”该组织的律师写道。
“并且每一家法院都明确告知他们，必须停止非法施工，除非且直到他们获得国会的明确批准，”文件写道。
该项目是特朗普重塑华盛顿景观的整体计划的一部分，其中包括建造一座250英尺（约合76米）高的拱门以及翻新肯尼迪中心——这一文化地标和表演艺术中心。
被拆除的东翼曾是第一夫人办公室和白宫电影院的所在地。该建筑最初建于1902年西奥多·罗斯福总统任期内，并于1942年富兰克林·罗斯福总统任期内大幅扩建。

Supreme Court lets Trump continue work on White House ballroom for now

WASHINGTON, Aug 21 (Reuters) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday allowed President Donald Trump’s administration to continue construction of his White House ballroom project for now, temporarily pausing a judicial order that would halt much of the development.
The court’s action, known as an administrative stay, gives the justices additional time to consider the administration’s formal request to let it continue working on the $400 million ballroom while a lawsuit by a historic preservation group seeking to stop the project proceeds.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
The stay was issued by Chief Justice John Roberts, who handles emergency cases arising in Washington, D.C.
In an August 14 filing to the Supreme Court, Justice Department lawyers echoed Trump’s contention that the project is a security necessity, citing assassination attempts against the president and other recent threats.
“This case involves an extraordinary and unlawful injunction that will halt the ongoing construction of the integrated military complex, including a totally secure ballroom space, at the East Wing of the White House, which is vitally required by national security,” they wrote.
The nonprofit National Trust for Historic Preservation sued last year after the administration tore down, opens new tab the White House East Wing and began building a 90,000-square-foot (8,360-square-meter) ballroom without seeking specific approval from Congress. Trump has said the ballroom will be “the greatest of its kind ever built.”
After the Supreme Court acted on Friday, a spokesperson for the National Trust for Historic Preservation said, “To be clear, this is not a final decision on the merits of the government’s stay application, and we await further action.”
The project combines the above-ground ballroom with an extensive underground complex. Trump has said the project includes bomb shelters, medical facilities, shielding from drones and missiles and other security features that are “all tied together as one big, expensive and very complex unit.”
On August 7, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in a 2-1 ruling upheld U.S. District Judge Richard Leon’s order directing the administration to halt above-ground construction. The order had been set to take effect on Friday.
“Each President is a temporary tenant, not the owner, of the White House,” and cannot fundamentally reshape it without congressional approval, the D.C. Circuit’s ruling stated.
The district judge’s order did not permanently bar construction of a ballroom. It blocked above-ground efforts while allowing below-ground construction to continue, as well as work deemed “strictly necessary” for the safety and security of the White House. In its ruling, the D.C. Circuit said national security arguments “are not an automatic get-out-of-law-free card.”
The Justice Department said in its August 14 filing that the overall East Wing project — including both the underground facilities and the above-ground ballroom — is 65% complete.
Trump has said the ballroom project is a security necessity, and has referred to the structure as a “military center” in a post on Truth Social. Trump called the D.C. Circuit’s decision “horrendous” and politically motivated, and said it left him, other White House officials and visitors exposed to attack.
“This unjust decision must be overturned by the Supreme Court in its entirety,” Trump wrote.
The National Trust for Historic Preservation in court papers urged the justices to turn away the administration’s bid to continue with ballroom construction while litigation proceeds.
“Each court to examine the question has agreed that (the Trump administration has) no unilateral legal authority — constitutional, statutory or otherwise — to build a massive ballroom on the site of the now-demolished East Wing,” lawyers for the group wrote.
“And each court has told (the administration) in no uncertain terms that they must stop their illegal construction unless and until they receive express approval from Congress,” it wrote.
The project is part of Trump’s broader efforts to reshape the Washington landscape, including plans to build a 250-foot (76-meter) arch and revamp the Kennedy Center, a cultural landmark and performance center.
The demolished East Wing housed the first lady’s offices and the White House movie theater. It was originally built in 1902 during Theodore Roosevelt’s presidency and greatly expanded in 1942 during Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency.

华盛顿/日内瓦，8月21日路透社电 — 路透社获取的国会通知文件显示，特朗普政府已启动向联合国转账7.25亿美元的流程。援助专家称，此举是清偿数十亿美元拖欠会费的积极一步。
记者就此次付款的原因向美方提问，但尚未得到华盛顿方面的即时回应。本届政府此前曾大幅削减对多个联合国机构的资助，并抨击这个全球组织未能发挥其应有潜力。
路透社每日简报新闻通讯为您提供开启一天所需的全部新闻。点击此处注册。
这笔此前未被报道的8月4日国务院致国会通知中提及的款项，预计将在美国总统唐纳德·特朗普下月于纽约联合国大会发表演讲前完成转账。
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯今年曾表示，由于成员国未缴会费，联合国面临“迫在眉睫的财政崩溃”，该全球组织已启动大规模预算削减。
7.25亿美元仅占联合国5月公布的美方拖欠总额40多亿美元的不到20%——不过华盛顿方面称这一总金额要低得多，并表示已支付了部分款项。
前联合国官员尤金·陈对路透社表示，这笔转账将有助于在一段时间内支付联合国雇员薪资，但可能无法覆盖全部开支。“这笔钱能让组织多维持一段时间，”他说。
“如果美国不进一步付款，美方很可能在明年1月丧失投票权，”他补充道。
根据《联合国宪章》第19条，若成员国拖欠的会费超过两年的年度会费总额，其在大会的投票权将被暂停，但也可申请宽限期。
德国国际和安全事务研究所（IDOS）联合国财政专家罗尼·帕茨表示，此次大额转账或可避免立即实施开支削减。
“如果他们支付一大笔款项，联合国即便仍无储备资金，也能撑过全年，”帕茨补充道。“如果他们不付款，联合国在今年最后两三个月里可能真的会陷入困境，连支付薪资和维持机构运转都成问题。”
美国是联合国预算的最大出资国，但在特朗普政府执政期间，美国拒绝向联合国经常预算和维和预算缴纳强制会费，并大幅削减了对各联合国机构的自愿资助资金。
华盛顿还退出了数十个联合国及其他国际机构。
联合国财务主管钱德拉穆利·拉马纳坦上月表示，联合国原本期望今年预算能从193个成员国中收取约90%的会费。
截至8月18日，已有约129个成员国全额缴清会费，一份联合国文件显示。仅次于美国的第二大出资国中国也未出现在缴费名单中。
国务院在8月4日的信件中表示，将为联合国经常预算划拨总计7.25亿美元资金。
美国国务院和美国驻联合国使团周五未立即回复记者通过邮件提出的置评请求。
5月时，联合国称美方拖欠的40多亿美元会费包括20.4亿美元的经常预算欠款、22亿美元的当前及既往维和行动欠款，以及4400万美元的联合国法庭费用。
华盛顿方面尚未支付约1.534亿美元的所谓“基于政策的扣款项”。其中包括本应交给人权理事会的1060万美元——美国去年退出该理事会，指责其存在反以色列偏见——以及联合国近东巴勒斯坦难民救济和工程处的相关资金。
这座已有80年历史的机构正面临财政危机，目前正在推进一项名为“UN80”的重大改革与成本削减计划。
该机构已将2026年预算削减9.2%，并将超过2000个工作岗位从日内瓦和纽约等高成本城市转移至成本更低的枢纽地区。

US plans $725 million payment towards its large UN debt

WASHINGTON/GENEVA, Aug 21 (Reuters) – The Trump administration has started the process to transfer $725 million to the United Nations, a congressional notification seen by Reuters showed, a move aid experts said was a welcome step towards paying billions in dues owed.
There was no immediate response from Washington to questions about the reasons for the payment from an administration which has slashed funding to many U.N. agencies and blasted the global body for not living up to its potential.
The Reuters Daily Briefing newsletter provides all the news you need to start your day. Sign up here.
The money – mentioned in an August 4 State Department notification letter to Congress that has not been reported – is set to go through before an expected speech by U.S. President Donald Trump to the U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said this year that the U.N. faced “imminent financial collapse” due to unpaid contributions from member states, and the global body has brought in large budget cuts.
The $725 million would be less than 20% of the more than $4 billion that the U.N. said in May it was owed by the United States — though Washington has said that total figure is much lower and that it has made some payments.
Eugene Chen, a former U.N. official, told Reuters such a transfer would help pay U.N. salaries for a period, but might not cover them all. “It keeps the ship afloat a little longer,” he said.
“If the U.S. does not make further payments it will likely lose its voting rights in January,” he added.
Under article 19 of the U.N. Charter, a member state loses its voting rights in the General Assembly if its arrears exceed two years in annual fees, although grace periods are possible.
A significant transfer now could avert the need for immediate spending cuts, Ronny Patz, an expert in U.N. finance with German think tank IDOS, said.
“If they pay a big chunk, the U.N. still runs on zero reserves but it gets through the year,” Patz added. “If they don’t pay, the U.N. might really be in trouble for the last two or three months of the year in terms of paying salaries and keeping the doors open.”
The U.S. is the biggest contributor to the U.N. budget, but under the Trump administration it has refused to make mandatory payments to regular and peacekeeping budgets, and has slashed voluntary funding to U.N. agencies with their own budgets.
Washington has also withdrawn from dozens of U.N. and other international agencies.
The U.N. had been counting on collecting around 90% of dues from its 193 members for this year’s budget, its Controller Chandramouli Ramanathan said last month.
As of August 18, some 129 members had paid in full, a U.N. document showed. China, the number 2 contributor after Washington, was also absent from the list.
The State Department said in its August 4 letter it was obligating a total of $725 million for the U.N.’s regular budget.
The U.S. State Department and the U.S. diplomatic mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to requests for comment by email on Friday.
In May, the U.N. said the more than $4 billion owed to it by Washington included $2.04 billion for the regular budget, $2.2 billion for current and past peacekeeping missions, and $44 million for U.N. tribunals.
Washington has not transferred around $153.4 million in what it calls “policy-based withholdings”. That included $10.6 million meant for the Human Rights Council — which Washington disengaged from last year alleging an anti-Israel bias — and funds for the U.N. Palestinian Refugee Agency.
The 80-year-old institution has been undergoing a decisive reform and cost-cutting exercise known as “UN80” amid its financial crisis.
It has already cut its 2026 budget by 9.2% and transferred over 2,000 jobs out of expensive cities like Geneva and New York to lower-cost hubs.

一名女子发现自己被一名佩戴Meta人工智能智能眼镜的男子秘密拍摄，这一情况是在多年未联系的朋友和陌生人给她发来社交媒体上的一段视频后才被发现的。
“这段视频走红了。在所有平台上的播放量可能超过20万次，”托卢瓦·奥米托沃朱说道。
这一现象正呈上升趋势：内容创作者越来越多地使用可穿戴人工智能技术，在未经当事人同意的情况下，录制普通人的日常画面用于搭讪恶作剧视频。
奥米托沃朱看到自己出现在这类视频中时感到震惊和不悦，该视频目前已被下架。她完全不知道自己被拍摄了，视频发布前也没有人征求过她的同意。
“我毫无话语权，”奥米托沃朱说道，她补充说还有其他女性也曾向她分享过类似的经历。
“情况还要糟糕得多。糟糕到他们甚至不知道是谁拍摄了他们，视频却通过匿名账号被发布到了网上，”她说。
Meta旗下社交媒体巨头Instagram的负责人亚当·莫塞里表示，该平台正在打击骚扰他人或侵犯他人隐私的视频。
“如果你发布的内容是在利用他人并对其进行骚扰，就像我们近期听说和看到的大量搭讪类视频那样，我们会将该内容下架，”他在7月说道。“我们不希望有人偷偷拍摄他人、骚扰他们，然后将视频发布到我们的平台上。”
Meta此前曾因隐私问题受到抨击。
今年5月，得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿对雷朋Meta眼镜展开调查，称该眼镜可能会通过摄像头、扬声器等设备秘密拍摄他人，包括在如厕等私人场合，从而侵犯个人隐私。
“隐私与数据保护是我们在Meta打造每一款产品的核心原则，包括雷朋Meta眼镜，”Meta当时在一份声明中说道。
Meta在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，其智能眼镜内置隐私与安全功能，包括在眼镜开始录制时会亮起的显眼LED指示灯，以及在指示灯被遮挡或关闭时可阻止录制的软件。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的安娜·谢克特对这一功能进行了测试。她发现，在已经开始录制后再遮挡指示灯，禁用机制似乎无法正常工作。
Meta的一位发言人在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示，防篡改功能的设计初衷是在按下录制键前，如果检测到拍摄LED指示灯被遮挡，就会禁用录制功能。
“如果眼镜检测到拍摄LED指示灯被遮挡或阻挡，就会禁用拍摄功能，并提示佩戴者清除遮挡物，”该公司在给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中说道。
Meta补充说，他们将继续“努力改进这项技术”。
另一个隐私方面的复杂问题是，美国大多数州只要求互动记录过程中有一方同意即可，这意味着只有拍摄者本人需要知晓拍摄行为。
奥米托沃朱表示，她认为可穿戴技术对个人隐私构成了巨大威胁。
“如果有人看到有人将手机对着自己，他们还有机会走开，或是上前说‘嘿，我不想让你拍摄’。但有了这些智能眼镜和智能技术，人们就被剥夺了拒绝拍摄的权利，”她说。
Woman covertly filmed by Meta AI smart glasses raises privacy and consent concerns: “I had no say”

A woman discovered she had been secretly filmed by a man wearing Meta’s AI-powered smart glasses when friends and people she hadn’t talked to in years sent her a video posted on social media.
“It went viral. Across all platforms, probably over 200,000 views,” Toluwa Omitowoju said.
It’s a growing trend with content creators increasingly using wearable AI tech to record everyday people in prank pickup line videos – often without their consent.
Omitowoju was shocked and displeased to see herself in one such video, which has since been taken down.She had no idea she was being filmed, nor was she asked before the video was posted.
“I had no say,” Omitowoju said, adding that other women have shared similar experiences with her.
“It was a lot worse. It was to the point where they don’t even know who filmed them and yet it’s being posted online under a burner account,” she said.
Adam Mosseri, the head of Meta-owned social media giant Instagram, said the platform is cracking down on videos that harass people or invade their privacy.
“If you’re posting content that is taking advantage of people and harassing them, like a lot of these pickup line kind of videos that we’ve heard of and seen recently, then we’re going to take the content down,” he said in July. “We don’t want people to be surreptitiously taking videos of other people and harassing them and then posting them on our platform.”
Meta has come under fire for privacy concerns before.
In May, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into Ray-Ban Meta glasses, alleging that the glasses could violate personal privacy by using cameras, speakers and more to covertly film people, including in private moments such as bathroom visits.
“Privacy and data protection are core to every product we build at Meta, including Ray-Ban Meta glasses,” Meta said in a statement at the time.
Meta told CBS News that its glasses have built-in privacy and safety features, including a telltale LED light that turns on when the glasses are recording and software that is supposed to prevent recording if the light is covered or disabled.
CBS News’ Anna Schecter put this feature to the test. She found the disabling mechanism did not appear to work when she covered the light after already starting to record.
A Meta spokesperson told CBS News the tamper detection is designed to prevent recording if the light is covered before pressing record.
“If the glasses detect that the capture LED is covered or obstructed, they will disable capture and prompt the wearer to clear the obstruction,” the company said in a statement to CBS News.
Meta added it continues to “work to improve this technology.”
Another privacy complication is that most states only require the consent of one person to record an interaction, which means only the person recording has to know.
Omitowoju said she believes that wearable technology is a huge threat to personal privacy.
“If someone sees a phone in front of their face, they have the opportunity to step away, to approach someone and say, ‘Hey, I don’t want you to record.’ With these smart glasses and the smart technology, you’re taking away the right of refusal,” she said.

最新分析显示，美国就业市场的实际状况并不像表面看起来那样强劲。
7月份美国失业率降至4.1%，处于经济学家认为健康的区间内。但路德维希共享经济繁荣研究所（LISEP）主席吉恩·路德维希指出，这一衡量标准仅统计16岁以上无工作且正在求职的人群占比，并不精准，无法全面反映就业市场的健康状况。
这家经济研究机构的“真实失业衡量指数”（TRU）旨在统计该机构定义的“功能性失业”劳动者占比。这一群体不仅包括失业且正在找工作的人，还包括非自愿兼职以及年收入税前低于2.6万美元、处于贫困线水平的劳动者。
路德维希研究所数据显示，美国全国功能性失业人数已连续四个月上升，7月份达到24.9%，尽管较12月份的25.2%有所回落。
“我们不应过度解读单月数据，但连续四个月的上升趋势开始说明问题，”路德维希在周四的一份声明中表示，“功能性失业率上升的同时，劳动参与率却在下降。如果这一趋势持续下去，意味着尽管我们从 headline失业率数据中可能看到的情况，就业市场的韧性正在减弱。”
“在强劲的就业市场中，优质岗位和薪资上涨应该会吸引更多人进入劳动力市场，而不是更少，”路德维希补充道，“当这种趋势出现逆转时，我们需要予以关注。这可能预示着人们无法找到想要或需要的工作机会，而这对整体经济至关重要。”
其他经济学家则告诫不要过度重视包括TRU在内的替代劳动力市场健康指标。
“失业率达到20%左右的说法与美国经济中我们观察到的任何情况都不符，”安永帕特农（EY-Parthenon）首席经济学家格雷戈里·达科告诉CBS News。
全美雇主7月份意外削减了2.3万个工作岗位，未达到经济学家预期，预示就业市场可能正在放缓。
与此同时，尽管失业率按历史标准来看处于低位，但许多美国人仍在努力应对高通胀的影响。7月份，消费者物价指数（CPI）同比上涨3.4%，而薪资同比涨幅仅为3.2%。
达科表示，有多个因素正在拖累就业增长。“我们看到薪资增长持续放缓，这反映出雇主在控制成本，希望确保以合适的价格招聘到具备合适才能和技能的人才，而不会过度支出。”
低迷的薪资增长会抑制消费者支出，而消费支出占美国经济活动的三分之二。
“一家企业的薪资支出就是另一个人的收入，进而决定他们的消费能力，”达科说，“当我观察美国经济可能出现疲软的迹象时，经通胀调整后的收入增长一直在零附近徘徊，这限制了消费支出的增长。这迫使一些家庭在开支方向和金额上做出更艰难的选择，从而放缓整体经济增速。”

Nearly 25% of U.S. workers are “functionally unemployed,” economic analysis finds

The U.S. job market is less robust than it looks, according to a new analysis.
The nation’s unemployment rate fell to 4.1% in July, well within the range economists consider healthy. Yet that measure, which reflects the percentage of people over the age of 16 who don’t have a job and who are looking for work, is an imprecise metric that fails to offer a full picture of the health of the job sector, according to Gene Ludwig, chairman of the Ludwig Institute for Shared Economic Prosperity (LISEP).
The economic research firm’s “True Measure of Unemployment” (TRU) seeks to capture the share of workers that the group defines as “functionally unemployed.” This includes not only people who are unemployed and looking for a job, but also those who are involuntarily working part-time and who are earning poverty-level wages, or less than $26,000 annually before taxes.
Functional unemployment across the U.S. has climbed four straight months and stood at 24.9% as of July, although that’s down from 25.2% in December, according to the Ludwig Institute.
“We shouldn’t read too much into a single month, but four months begin to tell a story,” Ludwig said in a statement on Thursday. “Functional unemployment is moving higher while workforce participation is moving lower. If this continues, it would suggest the labor market is losing strength despite what we may see in the headline unemployment numbers.”
“In a strong labor market, good jobs and rising wages should bring more people into the workforce, not fewer,” Ludwig added. “We need to pay attention when that starts moving in the other direction. It could be a sign that people aren’t finding the opportunities they want or need, which matters for the broader economy.”
Other economists cautioned against putting too much weight on alternative measures of labor market health, including TRU.
“An unemployment rate that would be in the 20% range does not line up with anything we see in the U.S. economy,” EY-Parthenon chief economist Gregory Daco told CBS News.
Employers around the country unexpectedly cut 23,000 jobs in July, undershooting economists’ expectations and signaling the job market may be slowing.
Meanwhile, although unemployment is low by historical benchmarks, many Americans continue to grapple with the impact of high inflation. In July, the Consumer Price Index rose at an annual pace of 3.4%, while wages rose at an annual rate of 3.2%.
Daco said several factors are weighing on job growth. “You see ongoing moderation of wage growth, which is reflective of employers controlling costs, and wanting to make sure they have the right talent and the right skills at the right price, and not spend excessively.”
Muted wage growth dampens consumer spending, which drives two-thirds of U.S. economic activity.
“One company’s wage bill is another person’s income, and in turn their capacity to spend,” Daco said. “When I look at potential signs of softness for the U.S. economy, income growth has been trending around zero, adjusted for inflation, and that limits consumer spending growth. It forces some households to make more difficult choices in terms of where they spend their money and how much they spend, and that slows the overall pace of the economy.”
