联合国：伊波拉病毒正在刚果呈指数级传播

2026年8月21日 21:15 / 联合早报

联合国伊波拉疫情高级协调员哈内斯星期五（8月21日）说，刚果民主共和国的伊波拉疫情已造成超过2500人死亡，疫情正呈指数级扩散。

路透社报道，刚果第17次伊波拉疫情在7月下旬爆发，按病例数量计算，已成为刚果历史上规模最大的一次，超过2018年至2020年间最严重的一次疫情。

此次疫情由邦迪布焦伊波拉病毒引起，目前尚无获批的疫苗或治疗方法。

哈内斯在刚果布尼亚通过视频说：“伊波拉疫情正在呈指数级增长。”

“疫情覆盖的地区面积比法国还大，而且疫情的扩散速度和范围都超过了应对伊波拉疫情时的能力。这一切都发生在一个经历了三十年冲突、且正面临巨大人道主义需求的地区。”

他说，大约有160名医护人员感染了伊波拉病毒，其中43人死亡。

“除了病毒的威胁之外，医护人员和一线工作人员还遭到年轻人的袭击，救护车被烧毁和投掷石块，医疗设施也遭到袭击。”

“恐惧促使愤怒的年轻人开始向他们恐惧的对象，即救护车，投掷石块。”

其他援助人员说，当地人相信疫情是骗局的阴谋论，当防疫限制措施使他们无法亲自安葬亲人时，他们非常愤怒。

哈内斯说，过去六个月里，已发生超过260起针对医务人员的袭击，八名医务人员遇难，“这显然令人震惊，因为人们已经在冒着生命危险应对伊波拉疫情。”

他指出，近年来援助资金的削减，削弱了人道主义组织的能力。

一名接近乌克兰前国防部长费多罗夫的消息人士透露，费多罗夫将前往美国，为新的国防技术项目筹集资金。

路透社报道，费多罗夫于7月被解职，导致基辅和其他乌克兰城市爆发持续数周的抗议活动，抗议者要求恢复他的职务。

在与总统泽连斯基决裂后，费多罗夫星期二（8月18日）成为乌克兰首位呼吁在战时举行选举的主要政治人物，而战时选举在乌克兰宪法中是被禁止的。

这名消息人士否认此前关于费多罗夫将前往美国寻求政治支持以推动选举的报道，并称他不会与美国政界人士或官员会面。

“费多罗夫计划启动一系列与战争和乌克兰初创企业相关的项目。”

消息人士称，其中一个项目将是一个投资基金。

自2022年俄乌战争爆发以来，费多罗夫一直是新型军事技术和无人机作战的倡导者，他与SpaceX、Palantir等美国公司关系密切。

战争初期，他曾亲自向SpaceX老板马斯克提出请求，促成星链服务在乌克兰开通。

消息人士称，费多罗夫仍在与马斯克就星链项目进行磋商，但两人目前尚未安排会面。

哈里王子等人败诉 须承担逾千万新元诉讼费用

伦敦高等法院星期五（8月21日）裁定，哈里王子和其他几人在隐私权诉讼败诉后，必须向《每日邮报》出版商支付954万英镑（约1651万新元）的临时诉讼费用。

路透社报道，上个月，法官尼克林驳回了哈里王子、歌手埃尔顿·约翰和其他五人提起的诉讼，驳回了《每日邮报》及其旗下报纸参与窃听电话等非法活动的指控。

这次诉讼费用判决也给哈里等人带来又一沉重打击，法院裁定剩余款项应按“赔偿性标准”支付。

这意味着，作为败诉方，哈里王子和其他原告必须承担联合报业公司的诉讼费用，而出版商无需证明这些费用合理且相称。

联合报业在法官最初裁决后说，这对公司旗下的报纸、记者以及“新闻自由”来说是一场压倒性的胜利，而哈里王子则称裁决是“彻头彻尾的粉饰”。

Trump temporarily waives higher beef tariffs in bid to lower prices

August 21, 2026 / 11:19 AM EDT / CBS News
By Mary Cunningham

President Trump announced Friday that the U.S. will waive higher tariffs on ground beef imports, a bid to lower prices for consumers who are facing historically high beef costs.

Mr. Trump said on Truth Social that the U.S. will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef into the country for the next 90 days with “no out-of-quota tariff.” That puts a pause on higher tariffs, which are triggered when trade volume surpasses a certain quota, according to the World Trade Organization.

“We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices,” the president wrote. “This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again.”

As of July, ground beef cost an average of $6.89 per pound, up 57% from five years ago, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, citing federal labor data.

Inflation data shows that beef prices have risen much faster than those of other foods. Ground beef prices rose 9% in July from a year ago, while beef steaks rose 9.6%, according to the latest CPI report.

A U.S. Department of Agriculture spokesperson said Mr. Trump’s action to ease tariffs will “help address the affordability of beef” during a time of record-high consumer demand. Mr. Trump is also “cutting regulations for our farmers and ranchers and rebuilding our nation’s cattle supply,” the spokesperson added.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Beef prices in the U.S. have been rising for decades, driven chiefly by shrinking cattle herd sizes and strong consumer demand. The cattle herd is under pressure due to worsening drought conditions, which are reducing the amount of pasture for cattle to graze. That is forcing ranchers to turn to more costly feed, and in some cases, to cull their herds, according to the USDA.

In July, the nation’s beef cow herd fell to 28.5 million head, a record low for the month, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation, a trade group for the agricultural industry.

The Trump administration has previously sought to rein in beef prices. In February, Mr. Trump signed an executive order to boost imports from Argentina by 80,000 metric tons.

Some experts have expressed skepticism that such efforts will reduce consumer costs, noting that the additional imports account for a small share of the overall U.S. beef supply — too little to meaningfully impact prices.

Groups representing the cattle industry have opposed attempts to increase imports over concerns that they could undercut American cattle producers. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Top JPMorganChase exec warns regulatory proposal could squeeze credit for millions of small businesses

Chase Business Bank CEO Stevie Baron said proposed GSIB surcharge changes could raise borrowing costs for millions of owners

JPMorgan CEO addresses conflict in Iran, unveils plan to revive American dream

JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon joins ‘Fox & Friends’ to discuss the latest on Operation Epic Fury, the motivation behind the American Dream Initiative and more.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

FIRST ON FOX: A top executive at JPMorganChase warned that proposed federal bank capital rules could damage small businesses across the country, airing caution that Main Street may have less access to credit from banks.

As regulators move to finalize Basel III Endgame, one of the most important global financial regulatory standards to date, Chase Business Bank CEO Stevie Baron said in a memo obtained by Fox News Digital that the current framework could potentially have unintended consequences for small businesses as capital requirements could prevent lending.

“The latest revisions to the 2023 proposal are a step in the right direction, but as we reiterated to regulators, more work is needed to ensure the final rules do not increase the cost of lending or reduce access to credit for small businesses,” Baron explained.

Baron specifically noted proposed changes to the Global Systemically Important Bank (GSIB) surcharge, saying that formula could encourage trading over lending, raising borrowing costs for millions of small business owners.

JAMIE DIMON SAYS HE WOULDN’T BUY STOCKS OR TREASURYS AT CURRENT PRICES

JPMorganChase is considered a GSIB, and is required to adhere to higher loss-absorbing equity and capital requirements than other smaller banks.

“The Fed should reconsider the proposed changes to the GSIB surcharge calculation, and, in particular, retain the current approach to the short-term wholesale funding factor that accounts for the size and funding diversification benefits of universal banks,” Baron added. “Regulators should ensure the surcharge framework does not penalize the everyday lending and banking services relied on by small businesses.”

He also argued that “capital requirements should not increase just because the economy is growing, or routine activity is expanding,” and that “policymakers should ensure the capital framework operates as a coherent whole, rather than layering multiple requirements on top of the same risks.”

Baron oversees more than 7 million small and medium-size businesses and over $19 billion in business banking average loans in FY2025. The American Dream Initiative, which was announced by JPMorganChase CEO Jamie Dimon on Fox News’ “Fox and Friends” in March, seeks to expand the total number of small and medium-sized businesses to 10 million in additional to a number of changes at the bank to promote growth in the U.S. economy.

A senior JPMorganChase executive told Fox News Digital that acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling visited JPMC headquarters last week to discuss the initiative and steps the bank is taking to implement changes under the Trump administration.

After the 2008 financial crisis, global regulators developed the Basel III regulatory package to ensure banks have enough capital and financial cushion to weather economic volatility to protect taxpayers. U.S. regulatory agencies, including the Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Office of the Comptroller, initially proposed the framework, dubbed Basel III Endgame in 2023 but withdrew the draft for revision after pushback.

SURVIVING SINCE LINCOLN: HOW SIX GENERATIONS BEAT THE SMALL BUSINESS CURSE

In March, Trump administration regulators proposed the latest draft of Basel III Endgame, with a comment deadline of July, though banks are still lobbying for changes as regulators move to enact permanent policy.

Top lawmakers, like Senate Banking Committee Chairman Tim Scott, R-South Carolina, have also warned about potential lending shortfalls if the framework is enacted.

“I have long said that overly complicated capital rules can slow economic growth without making our financial system safer,” Scott said in a March statement. “The Biden administration’s plan would have made it harder to get a mortgage, harder to start a business, and more expensive to make ends meet. That is the wrong direction when families are already feeling squeezed. There is still more work to do. We need rules that keep our financial system strong while making sure banks can lend, and our economy can grow.”

Baron aligned with Scott’s view that there needs to be assurance that banks will be able to lend freely, stating in his memo that small businesses could be restricted from expansion and investing in growth should there be limited access to capital.

His memo is part of a new JPMorganChase series titled “from the desk of,” where top executives, including Dimon, have shared their takes on various economic and political policies and how they affect America’s largest bank.

乌克兰男子在克罗地亚被拘 涉参与“北溪”爆炸案

2026年8月21日 21:53 / 联合早报

一名乌克兰男子已被克罗地亚当局羁押候审，等待引渡至德国的裁决。他涉嫌参与2022年北溪天然气管道爆炸案。

路透社报道，德国检察官星期五（8月21日）说，这名男子名为弗拉基米尔·Z，职业是潜水员。他于星期三凌晨在克罗地亚普拉的一家酒店被捕，逮捕令由欧洲相关机构签发。

德国检察官称，弗拉基米尔·Z是策划爆炸案团伙的成员之一。

俄罗斯和西方国家将此次爆炸事件定性为破坏行为。爆炸破坏了北溪1号管道以及尚未投入使用的北溪2号管道。

另一名嫌疑人，前乌克兰军官谢尔盖·K，于7月被检察官指控受乌克兰国家机构指使策划了爆炸事件。

此人于2025年8月在意大利被捕，并于11月被引渡至德国。他对指控予以否认。

德国法院认为此案属于其管辖范围，因为受损的管道终点位于德国梅克伦堡—前波莫瑞州，且管道受损影响了德国的能源安全和国内安全。

德国联邦内政部长多布林特说，内政部已与克罗地亚当局联系，以协助引渡嫌疑人，但引渡程序可能需要一些时间。

“我们非常希望查明此事的真相，并确保将涉案人员引渡至德国，对他们进行适当的惩处。”
