At least three killed, including one child, in Russian strikes on Ukraine

August 8, 2026 / 2:01 AM EDT / AFP

Russian strikes killed three people, including a child, in a district northeast of Ukraine’s capital, a regional military official said on Saturday, as Kyiv warned of incoming ballistic missiles.

Moscow has significantly upped its attacks on the Ukrainian capital in recent months, typically firing salvos of hard-to-intercept ballistic missiles in short blitzes.

Three people including a child were killed and three others were wounded in strikes on Brovary district northeast of Kyiv, Tymur Tkachenko, head of the regional military administration, wrote on Telegram.

Falling debris from the attacks damaged houses and vehicles and caused a fire in a non-residential building, he said.

Ukraine’s state emergency service shared photos of a destroyed building covered in flames, saying the attack in the village of Pukhivka destroyed a two-storey house and two cars and sparked a fire in a warehouse.

An AFP reporter in the capital heard a dozen explosions as Ukraine’s air force warned of the “threat of ballistic weapon use from the north”.

Four people were wounded from overnight attacks in the city, Kyiv’s military administration said on Telegram.

“An air raid alert has been declared in Kyiv due to the use of ballistic missiles,” it had said earlier, instructing residents to take shelter.

美国拟向哥伦比亚新政府提供约13亿新元安全援助

美国特朗普政府计划向哥伦比亚新政府提供10亿美元（约13亿新元）安全援助。

路透社报道，获美国总统特朗普公开力挺的哥伦比亚新总统德拉埃斯普列利亚（Abelardo de la Espriella），星期五（8月7日）宣誓就职。他在就职仪式上承诺打击犯罪并振兴经济。

美国国务院同一天发表声明说：“作为这一重新确立伙伴关系的基石，美国将与国会合作提供10亿美元，作为一项安全方案的一部分，以支持德拉埃斯普列利亚政府实现我们的共同目标。”

特朗普在哥伦比亚总统选举期间，公开表态支持德拉埃斯普列利亚。

美国国务院说，特朗普政府欢迎哥伦比亚加入“美洲之盾”（Shield of the Americas）。这是由特朗普创立、由右翼领导人组成的一个军事联盟，旨在打击毒品走私。

特朗普已经加强美国在拉丁美洲的存在和影响力。

今年1月3日，特朗普下令美军对委内瑞拉首都加拉加斯等地发动大规模突袭，强行把委内瑞拉总统马杜罗和夫人抓捕到美国，并以毒品恐怖主义等罪名提控两人。

特朗普还下令美军多次袭击加勒比海和东太平洋的“贩毒船”。美国媒体称，美军至少向67艘“贩毒船”开火，已造成200多人死亡。

美国和世界各地的维权人士称此类行动非法、带有帝国主义色彩，等同于法外处决；特朗普则将这些行动辩称为打击毒品走私和非法移民的举措。

此前，哥伦比亚首位左翼领袖佩特罗担任总统时，因一系列问题与特朗普公开交恶。佩特罗曾因美国盟友以色列对加沙地带的袭击，指责特朗普是“种族灭绝帮凶”，并呼吁对美国在加勒比海域袭击船只的行动提起“刑事起诉程序”。

佩特罗也对特朗普在哥伦比亚选举期间为德拉埃斯普列利亚背书表示谴责。

路透社星期五（8月7日）引述一名美国官员的话报道，伊朗与阿曼围绕霍尔木兹海峡的谈判“有进展”，“预计很快达成协议”。

这名官员说，一旦达成协议、霍尔木兹海峡恢复商业航运，美国将解除对伊朗的海上封锁。他同时重申，美方将根据伊朗履行承诺的实际情况采取行动。

新华社报道，美国新闻网站Axios记者拉维德7日在社交媒体上说，一名参与调解美伊谈判的外交官告诉他，伊方谈判代表正等待最高国家安全委员会就协议作出最终决定，“预计很快获得批准”。

伊朗副外长加里巴巴迪5日说，伊朗和阿曼关于商业船舶通行霍尔木兹海峡的协议已接近最终敲定，届时将在霍尔木兹海峡建立一种不同于过去60年的新通行模式。

美国与伊朗6月中旬签署谅解备忘录后，霍尔木兹海峡一度重开，形成两条航道：一条是伊朗一侧、由伊朗管控的北部航道；另一条是阿曼一侧、受美军支持的南部航道。美伊随后因“双航道”问题再起冲突，美军再次空袭伊朗，伊朗于7月12日宣布再次关闭霍尔木兹海峡。

近期，伊朗与阿曼就霍尔木兹海峡通航问题持续进行磋商谈判。

How a duck’s friendship helped a New York family’s golden retriever overcome health issues: “She started smiling again”

Justin and Tori Cannarelli of New York almost have a typical American family with their two children, Cameron and Charlie, and a dog. But they also have one very unique member: a duck.

“I never expected to own a duck. Never expected him to stay long term,” Tori told CBS News.

The story unfolded when the Cannarellis sought out a duck for a garden center that is owned by Justin.

Through Facebook Marketplace, they found a duck that had hatched in a Long Island elementary school classroom. But instead of taking Louie the duck to Justin’s garden center, Tori brought him home.

It was supposed to be a short little visit, but Louie quickly became indispensable for one family member in particular: their golden retriever, Barley.

A couple of years ago, Barley had started to have seizures. They put her on medication and it worked, the seizures stopped. But the family also observed some adverse side effects.

“She just lost her spunk,” Tori said. “She lost her goldenness.”

“We thought, oh man, this medication we have to give her for the rest of her life,” Justin said. “So this is how she’s going to be.”

But then they noticed a bond building between Louie and Barley. A friendship that was being built peck by peck.

“She started smiling again,” Tori said. “She started wagging her tail. She started having personality again.”

Today, the two remain virtually inseparable. Louie pecks at Barley. And Barley chases Louie. They wrestle and relax together.

And although Justin and Tori may never know exactly what shifted within Barley, their son Cameron has a theory.

“She wanted to be friends with Louie and hang out with him a lot, so she kind of stretched her joy and fit in with him.”

Memphis Grizzlies player Brandon Clarke died from effects of heroin and cocaine, officials say

August 7, 2026 / 8:55 PM EDT / CBS/AP

Memphis Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke died in May from the effects of heroin and cocaine, authorities said Friday.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner said the 29-year-old basketball player’s death was accidental.

Clarke was found dead inside a home near Los Angeles on May 11. A person familiar with the terms of the investigation told The Associated Press after the Grizzlies announced Clarke’s passing that drug paraphernalia was found at the residence. The person had spoken on condition of anonymity because those details had not been released publicly.

Clarke was under contract to be with the Grizzlies through the 2026-27 season.

About six weeks before he died, Clarke was arrested in Arkansas on charges of speeding, reckless driving and possessing a controlled substance.

Clarke was driving a new Corvette over 100 mph when he was pulled over, officials said. Bodycam video of the incident was obtained by CBS News in July. Officers searched Clarke’s car and found several large bags of clear capsules containing a green powdery substance, according to a police report.

While handcuffed in the back of the police vehicle, Clarke in the video told officers: “It’s just kratom,” which is a herbal extract. Kratom has been used for centuries and has been known to help manage pain. But in its new manufactured form, skeptics call kratom”gas station heroin” because it can be highly addictive.

Clarke was with Memphis for all seven of his pro seasons after finishing his college career at Gonzaga.

He spent much of the last three years injured. He tore his Achilles tendon in 2023 and underwent two procedures on his right knee in 2025. This past season, he missed games with a strained right calf and the team had said he was out for the season.

Trump urges Jeanine Pirro to revisit dropped Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism case

August 7, 2026 9:54pm EDT / Fox News

Vandalism charges against former Olympian David Hearn were dropped last Friday

Pirro details potential charges for alleged Reflecting Pool vandalism after damage

U.S. Attorney for D.C. Jeanine Pirro provides an update on the alleged Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool vandalism.

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump on Friday urged U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to take a second look at the recently dropped charges over vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool.

“Now that people are able to see it up close, they are reporting pure VANDALISM at The Reflecting Pool,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, sharing photos from a freelance photographer that allegedly showed vandalism.

The president claimed that “People were on their knees with their hands in the water at the exact location of the ‘slashes.’ Additionally, there were witnesses to the VANDALISM, and the flexible areas of the material were cut with a knife.

TRUMP SAYS HE ‘DISAGREES 100%’ WITH U.S. ATTORNEY JEANINE PIRRO OVER REFLECTING POOL CASE

“U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro should re-visit her hastily made decision, especially since it turned out that the ‘gentleman’ involved is a big player in ActBlue, a disgraceful fundraising SCAM, and is represented by a TRUMP DERANGED SLEAZEBAG, Political Hack Lawyer, Norm Eisen, and CREW, a group that uses ‘charity’ for political purposes which is, to the best of my knowledge, ILLEGAL!”

Trump has been highly critical of Pirro’s decision to drop the felony vandalism case against former Olympian David Hearn last Friday.

Earlier this week, Trump claimed Pirro “choked” under pressure from a judge regarding the case and “folded like an ​ umbrella.”

A day after the case was dropped, Trump wrote on Truth Social “I disagree 100% with Jeanine Pirro, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, on the Reflecting Pool. I don’t know what she was thinking?”

FORMER US OLYMPIAN DAVID HEARN INDICTED IN ALLEGED REFLECTING POOL VANDALISM

Hearn was indicted on July 2 on one count of felony destruction of property. U.S. Park Police alleged Hearn grabbed and tugged at a loose section of the pool’s coating on June 19, continuing after a National Park Service employee told him to stop. Officials initially claimed he caused more than $1,000 in damage.

However, Pirro’s office said the Department of the Interior initially provided prosecutors with “barebones” reports and failed to disclose records documenting extensive problems with the coating’s installation.

“Had DOI been forthcoming with the information clearly in its possession, the government would not have sought a grand jury indictment,” prosecutors wrote.

“It was not until after the return of the indictment, that the DOI provided additional documents to the USAO-DC indicating that damage to the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in June 2026 was the result of flawed installation by the contractor, Atlantic Industrial Coatings (‘AIC’), and the rush to complete the project prior to events associated with the America 250 celebration in the weeks surrounding Independence Day 2026.”

The DOJ said the new evidence made it difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Hearn caused the damage. Prosecutors asked the court to dismiss the indictment without prejudice, which would leave open the possibility of bringing the charge again.

“The Trump administration’s case against Davey Hearn should never have been brought,” Hearn’s attorneys Norm Eisen, Mary Dohrmann and Steve Levin in a statement last Friday, according to the New York Post. “Its dismissal today does not erase the abuse of government power in arresting and charging a patriotic American who did nothing wrong. The government’s approach was ready, fire, aim. The administration owes Mr. Hearn an apology.”

疑吸毒后无照驾驶撞死油站员工 22岁男将被控

2026-08-08 10:50 / 新明日报

22岁男子无照驾驶一辆已注销的车辆，车门没关就突然倒车，撞倒正准备帮涉事汽车加油的69岁油站员工，过后不治身亡。涉事男驾驶与一名22岁女乘客事发后弃车潜逃。 （新加坡警察部队提供）

一名22岁男子因涉嫌吸毒后无照驾驶已注销车辆，并在倒车时撞倒加油站员工致其死亡，星期六（8月8日）将被控上法庭。

新加坡警察部队星期五（8月7日）晚上发文告说，事件发生在星期四（6日）凌晨约3时55分，地点是樟宜北路上段（Upper Changi Road North）的加油站。

当时，一名69岁的男性油站员工正准备为涉事汽车加油，22岁男驾驶突然返回车内，并在驾驶座车门敞开的情况下急速倒车。敞开的车门撞倒员工，导致他跌倒后头部受重创。该员工随即陷入昏迷送院，并在星期五（7日）伤重不治。

事发后，男驾驶与一名22岁女乘客弃车逃离现场。

交通警察通过地面调查和调阅警方摄像头及闭路电视画面，迅速锁定两人身份，并于同日（6日）将他们逮捕归案。

涉事22岁男驾驶被捕时涉嫌疏忽驾驶致人死亡、受毒品影响驾驶，以及涉毒品相关罪行。初步调查还显示，该车已注销，且男驾驶未持有有效驾照。涉事车辆已被交警扣押，毒品相关部分已移交中央肃毒局处理。

该名男驾驶将于星期六（8日）在八项罪名下被控上庭，罪名包括驾驶已注销车辆、无照驾驶，以及导致他人死亡等。

女乘客则因涉嫌吸食受控药物和教唆男驾驶犯下交通罪行被捕，目前调查仍在进行中。

涉事车辆已被交警扣押，毒品相关部分已移交中央肃毒局处理。

警方强调，已注销车辆缺乏保险保障且可能不达标，无照驾驶更会加大安全隐患。

交警也呼吁公众提高警惕，向当局举报任何疑似驾驶注销车辆或无照驾驶等行为。当局严正看待这类不负责任的行为，并会依法采取行动。
