六个欧洲国家和加拿大发表联合声明，谴责以色列“E1区”定居点建设计划，并敦促以政府立即撤回该计划。

新华社报道，英国、法国、德国、意大利、荷兰、挪威和加拿大七国星期四（8月20日）发表联合声明说，以色列政府公布“E1区”定居点建设项目招标决定“不可接受”，这一项目将割裂约旦河西岸，损害巴勒斯坦领土的连续性，破坏“两国方案”前景。

声明强调，国际法明确认定以色列在约旦河西岸的定居点非法，这是国际社会的立场，并得到联合国安理会支持。

声明指出，当前约旦河西岸局势动荡不安，定居者针对平民的暴力达到前所未有的程度，巴勒斯坦经济也遭受严重限制，因此以方推进定居点建设计划更加令人担忧。

七国敦促以色列政府立即撤回“E1区”定居点建设计划，并停止在约旦河西岸扩建定居点，同时呼吁企业不要参与相关建设项目招标，警告企业可能面临由此产生的法律和声誉风险。

另据彭博社报道，英国星期四早些时候宣布，正准备对参与加沙地带和约旦河西岸“非法定居点扩张”的以色列人实施定向制裁。

以色列政府18日发布“E1区”定居点建设项目1234套住房的招标公告。2025年8月，以色列财政部长斯莫特里奇发表声明称，他计划批准在“E1区”建造3401套住房，旨在“葬送巴勒斯坦国构想”。随后，以国防部下属的民政管理局高级规划委员会批准了这一住房建造计划。

以色列在1967年第三次中东战争中占领东耶路撒冷和约旦河西岸部分地区，并建设犹太人定居点。长期以来，以军对巴勒斯坦民众的活动和通行施加限制，遭到巴方强烈反对。

伊朗：美国经济恐怖主义无法动摇伊朗人民决心

伊朗称美国的经济和贸易制裁为“经济恐怖主义”，并指这些制裁“丝毫不会动摇伊朗人民捍卫伊朗独立、尊严、主权的决心”。

综合路透社和新华社报道，伊朗外交部星期四（8月20日）发表声明说，美国宣布对伊朗实施大规模经济和贸易制裁，侵犯了伊朗公民基本人权，是“经济恐怖主义”和“反人类罪”的体现；违反尊重国家主权原则，践踏国际法基本准则。

声明认为，制裁和经济施压是“战争和军事侵略这枚硬币的另一面”。

声明表示，美国宣布实施新制裁，是延续一项“已经过检验并遭到失败”的政策，再次采取这一政策只会重蹈覆辙。伊朗将依靠自身能力以及过去数十年应对美国施压政策的经验，利用一切工具和能力维护国家利益和伊朗人民的合法权利。

美国财政部长贝森特同日警告美国盟友和中国，要么支持美国孤立伊朗经济并“瓦解”德黑兰政府，“要么与我们为敌”。

贝森特当天接受消费者新闻与商业频道（CNBC）访问时说，美国总统特朗普正将施压伊朗的手段从军事转向经济。

贝森特说：“这在伊朗会奏效，我们将推翻这个政权。”

他强调，华盛顿希望盟友和竞争对手都加入这一针对伊朗的升级版行动。“这将是世界历史上规模最大的协同经济孤立行动。我们要告诉他们的是，要么站在我们这边，要么与我们为敌。”

被问及美国是否会向中国施压时，贝森特表示“许多对话最好是私下进行”，但他呼吁北京“加入行动”。

Vice President JD Vance offered an unfiltered assessment Thursday of some of the biggest names in politics in a rapid-fire TikTok, calling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., a “communist,” Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., “lame” and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani “crazy.”

The vice president was asked to describe a succession of Democrats, Trump administration officials and other political figures as their names flashed across a screen, producing a 30-second barrage of answers that ranged from complimentary to cutting.

Vance appeared particularly unimpressed with far-left Democrats. He described Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer as “cranky” and Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed as “odd.”

But one of Vance’s most dismissive assessments was saved for Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

“I mean, nothing,” Vance said when Schiff’s name appeared. “Irrelevant.”

Vance was considerably more complimentary when members of the Trump administration came across the screen, describing outgoing White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt as “awesome,” deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller as “hardcore” and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles as “tough.”

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was “interesting,” while Vance called Secretary of State Marco Rubio “funny” and House Speaker Mike Johnson “kind.”

JD VANCE WINS GRUDGING PRAISE FROM JOY BEHAR ON ‘THE VIEW,’ WHO TELLS HIM TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT

One name, however, left the usually sharp vice president unusually short on words.

When Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) leader Megan Romer appeared, Vance simply responded, “No comment.”

The video then cuts to a SpongeBob-style title card declaring “two minutes later” before returning for Vance’s assessment of Schiff.

President Donald Trump received a much warmer review from his second-in-command.

“Generous,” Vance said of the president.

The video offered a lighter glimpse at Vance’s relationships with figures inside the administration while also giving him an opportunity to take shots at several prominent far-left Democrats and self-described democratic socialists.

美国女子宣誓效忠ISIS 涉谋袭纽约州议会被捕

美国纽约州一名女子因涉嫌策划袭击纽约州议会大厦被逮捕，并已被起诉。

路透社报道，美国司法部星期四（8月20日）说，35岁女子鲍伊（Jessica Bowie）意图在位于纽约州首府奥尔巴尼的纽约州议会大厦，发动一场受极端组织伊斯兰国（ISIS）启发的袭击。

鲍伊被发现多次前往纽约州议会大厦，并拍摄多张大厦照片。

负责国家安全事务的助理司法部长艾森伯格说，鲍伊密谋在纽约州议会大厦引爆炸弹，意图杀害公职人员并尽可能摧毁这栋大厦，然后逃往叙利亚境内由伊斯兰国组织控制的地区。

本身住在奥尔巴尼的鲍伊于本周三（19日）被捕，当时她持有一个她自认为是爆炸装置的物品。

联邦调查局（FBI）国家安全处行动主管福多尔说，根据刑事诉状，鲍伊曾宣誓效忠伊斯兰国组织。

根据美国司法部声明和起诉书，鲍伊曾在网上发表反美言论，已被监视一个多月，她与至少一名冒充伊斯兰国协助者的线人保持联系，并向一名线人请教如何制造爆炸装置。

鲍伊被捕后，纽约州州长霍楚尔发表声明说，鉴于政治暴力和针对公职人员的威胁日益增加，纽约州已采取措施加强州议会大厦和州政府各部门的安全。

Trump, former fixer Michael Cohen have warm interview at political low point for president

August 21, 2026 1:15 AM UTC Updated 2 hours ago / Reuters

Michael Cohen, former lawyer for U.S. President Donald Trump, departs his home in Manhattan to testify in Trump’s criminal trial over charges that he falsified business records to conceal money paid to silence porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016, in New York City, U.S., May 20, 2024.

WASHINGTON, Aug 20 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump had a warm public reunion on Thursday with Michael Cohen, his former fixer turned foe whose court testimony contributed to Trump’s ​2024 conviction in the Stormy Daniels hush-money trial.

Cohen, who is seeking a pardon, ‌interviewed Trump on his New York radio program. He called Trump “boss” and gave a six-minute monologue on friendship and forgiveness.

In 2018, Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison — and served more than a year — for ​a $130,000 hush payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election — as ​well as for other crimes, including cheating on his personal taxes and ⁠lying under oath to Congress.

Trump was convicted in 2024 on 34 counts of falsification of ​business records to conceal the Daniels payment, in part due to Cohen’s testimony. He has ​denied the encounter with Daniels, whose given name is Stephanie Clifford, and is appealing the ruling.

Trump was represented in the hush-money trial by Todd Blanche, now the U.S. attorney general. In court, Blanche called Cohen ​the “GLOAT,” meaning the “greatest liar of all time.”

“How do two men who spent years in an ​all-out public war hurling verbal and legal missiles across a massive canyon ever come back to the same ‌room?” ⁠Cohen said. “We forgaved.”

Trump, who is seeking political allies ahead of the November midterm elections, then greeted his former fixer of 15 years with a convivial: “Hello Michael. How are you, Michael?”

“I respect the fact that you recanted everything you said,” said Trump, who spoke to Cohen from ​the White House.

Cohen aired ​excerpts from a pre-recorded ⁠interview that focused on Trump’s favorite themes, including his campaign against immigrants and his disdain for unfavorable polls.

The White House did not immediately ​respond to a request for comment about the interview, more of ​which is ⁠to be aired on Sunday.

After Trump won re-election later in 2024, a federal appeals court ordered the Manhattan judge in the hush-money trial to review more closely how the Supreme Court’s landmark decision ⁠in July ​2024 giving Trump broad immunity from prosecution affected the ​New York case.

Cohen ended the interview segment in song, crooning a lyric from the 1978 R&B song by Peaches & ​Herb: “Reunited, and it feels so good…”

Charter plane carrying 8 crashes in western Alaska, federal officials say

Updated on: August 20, 2026 / 11:26 PM EDT / CBS/AP

A charter plane carrying eight people crashed Thursday near a remote radar site in western Alaska, federal authorities said.

Clint Johnson, the National Transportation Safety Board’s Alaska region chief, said two pilots and six passengers were on board. He did not immediately have details on their status.

The Federal Aviation Administration said in a separate statement that the Cessna 441 departed Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and was headed to Cape Newenham when it crashed west of Cape Newenham LRRS Airport at 12:15 p.m. local time. The FAA also reported that there were eight people aboard.

The Alaska Rescue Coordination Center said it launched a search and rescue mission after receiving a report of an “aircraft incident” near the Cape Newenham Long Range Radar Site. It said additional information would be released as it became available and did not respond to questions.

The FAA said the NTSB would lead the investigation into the crash, with the FAA assisting.

Storms soak Northeast as possible tornadoes reported in New York, Delaware

2026-08-20T23:15:38-0400 / CBS/AP

Heavy rain and winds pounded the Northeast U.S. on Thursday as storms tore through a beach on Long Island, flooded a major New York freeway and knocked out power in parts of Delaware’s capital city.

Photos and video shared on social media show debris thrown in the air and pummeling rain as a possible tornado touched down at Atlantic Beach on Long Island’s outer barrier. It tore apart a major beach club, leaving broken beach chairs and wood beams littered across the shoreline.

The Inwood Fire Department said dozens of cabanas were damaged or destroyed at the Sun and Surf Beach Club in Atlantic Beach. Inwood Fire Chief Josiyah Green said no one was trapped in any of the cabanas or had to be rescued at the club.

“Best I can call it is luck,” Green said. “Just by the grace of luck that a lot of people weren’t hurt here because this beach club is a very popular place during the summer.”

Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman declared a state of emergency.

“There are reports of people trapped in their vehicles due to flooding in the south shore, and first responders are assisting in their rescue,” Blakeman said in a statement.

The National Weather Service had warned of waterspouts, tornado-like hazards that happen over water, in the area but wasn’t able to immediately confirm a tornado on the beach.

Bryan Ramsey, a meteorologist for the weather service in New York, said the storm was moving East offshore Thursday evening and was expected to taper over the next several hours.

In other parts of New York, flooding caused part of the Long Island Expressway in Queens to close in both directions, according to New York City Emergency Management. Photos on social media show lines of stopped cars as emergency crew wade through the water.

A tornado touched down in Dover, Delaware, and caused significant damage across the city, the police department reported. Officials said no injuries had been reported in the city. The weather service confirmed that the tornado touched down in Dover shortly after 6 p.m. local time.

Sections of the roofs at the Days Inn and Super Lodge in Dover collapsed or were torn away, while doors, walls and other parts of the buildings were damaged, according to CBS News Philadelphia.

Dover Police Lt. Mark Hoffman said the damage in the city appeared consistent with a tornado.

“It would certainly appear that way based on the path of travel and the amount of damage that we’ve had,” Hoffman said.

Photos and video online show fallen trees, downed power lines and flooded roads.

Kuimonie Goins of Greensboro, North Carolina, said she was staying at the Days Inn in Dover with her family when the storm intensified.

“When it started raining, we started seeing like pieces of buildings flying, and then we started to see the tornado form, and then we ran in the bathroom because we were scared,” Goins told CBS Philadelphia.

The Delaware Electric Cooperative said more than 1,000 people didn’t have power in the northern part of its service area.

There were flash flood warnings in parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the weather service said.
