据紧急手机警报显示，希腊民防部门下令首都雅典西部郊区海达里的部分居民疏散，原因是附近山上发生森林火灾。
法新社报道，海达里（Haidari）位于雅典市中心以西约11公里处。消防员说，火灾发生在郊区附近的一座山上。
新华社早前引述希腊气候危机与民防部发布的最新预警说，雅典所在的阿提卡大区、埃维亚地区、基克拉泽斯群岛以及北爱琴海部分岛屿森林火险等级极高。

共和党众议员马克斯·米勒的前妻周四向法院申请发布限制令，禁止这位来自俄亥俄州的两届议员联系她的律师。此前，米勒否认的前妻指控他袭击自己的指控，持续困扰着他竞争激烈的连任竞选活动。
在法庭文件中，前妻艾米丽·莫雷诺指控，在正在进行的监护权纠纷的近期庭审后，米勒曾多次与她的律师安德鲁·扎欣发生肢体和言语冲突。两人此前已经有法院下达的相互限制令。两人于2022年结婚，2025年6月离婚，育有一名年幼的女儿。
莫雷诺指控，5月的一场庭审后，米勒在俄亥俄州一家法院的证人面前辱骂了扎欣的未婚妻；本周庭审结束后，这名国会议员还动手抓住了扎欣和另一名律师。
“除非受到限制，”莫雷诺在一份宣誓书中写道，否则米勒“将继续骚扰、威胁并直接与我的律师沟通”。莫雷诺表示，米勒还曾“骚扰、威胁并直接联系”她之前的法律团队。

米勒代表克利夫兰地区一个倾向共和党的选区，目前正在竞选第三个任期。莫雷诺是俄亥俄州共和党参议员伯尼·莫雷诺的女儿。
周四的法律进展是哥伦比亚广播公司新闻查阅数月来的法庭文件和公开报道后的最新动态，这些文件和报道详细披露了米勒对前妻和孩子的虐待指控。米勒强烈否认所有对他的指控，指出他仍然拥有女儿的共同监护权，并指责前妻诽谤他，且她本人也虐待他们的孩子。
根据法庭文件和警方报告，2月1日，莫雷诺指控米勒在俄亥俄州湾村的家中进行监护权交接时，对其实施了身体攻击，当时他们的女儿就在现场。
一份警方报告称，莫雷诺前往米勒家中接孩子，据称米勒“将她‘撞到墙上’”，“导致她上臂留下明显的抓痕，撞到墙壁的腹部和侧肋部位出现瘀伤”。
撰写该报告的警官随后详细说明了与县儿童保护专家的谈话内容，谈话涉及两周后的另一起疑似事件，导致这名年幼的孩子被诊断出右中锁骨骨折。
警官在报告中写道，伴随该伤势出现的瘀伤“看起来像是手印，似乎是外力造成的”。
根据警方报告，莫雷诺还告诉警方，和米勒相处过后，孩子曾对她说：“爸爸杀了你”。
莫雷诺给米勒发邮件询问此事后，米勒否认孩子“会从他那里听到这类话”，警方报告补充道。
莫雷诺告诉警方，两人在2025年3月还发生过另一起家庭纠纷，另有一起事件中米勒“此前曾将枪抵在她的头上”，一名警官在2月1日的报告中写道。
根据2月1日的报告和莫雷诺法律团队在诽谤诉讼中的其他法庭文件，2024年，在莫雷诺告诉米勒她打算离开他后，米勒“将刚做好的一锅鸡蛋的热水泼到了莫雷诺女士身上”。
该事件被媒体报道后，米勒起诉莫雷诺诽谤，称其指控他是“暴力且虐待配偶和父母的人”，给他造成了“相当大的名誉和经济损失”。
随后，米勒向俄亥俄州的一名地方法官声称，他现女友在首次指控的2月事件发生时就在家中，但米勒的一名律师后来撤回了这一说法。
米勒于2月对莫雷诺提起家庭暴力诉讼，但三个月后主动撤诉。该申请于本周获得法官批准，法官认定米勒“没有任何明显的身体不适，也没有表现出受到莫雷诺威胁或恐惧的迹象”。
根据莫雷诺在5月一场关于米勒对其前妻提起的家庭暴力案件的听证会上的宣誓证词，莫雷诺称米勒承认自己对她有虐待行为，并承认曾在书面文件中承认过虐待行为。
法庭笔录还详细记载，莫雷诺称米勒曾对她的父亲发表过威胁性言论。她的父亲是2024年当选的现任参议员，目前没有透露具体细节。莫雷诺参议院办公室的发言人未立即回复置评请求。
在5月的一条X平台帖子中，米勒批评了他的前岳父，称这位参议员“尽管了解女儿的心理健康问题，却仍继续资助并支持她恶意破坏我生活的运动”，这是“令人遗憾的”。
米勒及其竞选团队否认对他的所有指控。
马克斯·米勒竞选团队的发言人阿比盖尔·安杰洛斯在发给哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的一份声明中表示：“事实不言自明：法院一直允许他共同监护孩子。如果有可信证据支持这些离谱的指控，情况绝对不会是这样。众议员米勒将继续有力捍卫自己的声誉，反击那些旨在煽动公众舆论而非反映现实的虚假和鲁莽指控。这种说法已经存在太久了。”
在指称的2月事件后的一份法庭笔录中，米勒表示，莫雷诺“不仅对我们的女儿做出虐待指控，还对我提出了从未发生过的指控”。
米勒补充道：“我有视频和短信证据证明事实并非如此。而且她精神状态不佳，法官大人。”他随后说道：“我从两名不同的医生那里得知，她被诊断出患有双相情感障碍。”
米勒还声称：“我也认为我的前妻故意伤害我的女儿”，并在此前几个月称莫雷诺给女儿造成了黑眼圈。
当被问及是否在2月1日的监护权交接时将前妻撞到墙上并抓住她的手臂时，米勒回答“绝对没有”，并称他“绝对没有”对女儿造成锁骨骨折的说法也是不实的。
莫雷诺并非首位指控米勒虐待的女性。前特朗普政府第一任期的白宫助手斯蒂芬妮·格里沙姆在一本书和一篇《华盛顿邮报》专栏文章中指控米勒“实施身体虐待”。米勒否认了所谓的虐待行为，并对格里沙姆提起诽谤诉讼，之后米勒又以附带损害赔偿的方式撤回了诉讼。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻也已联系米勒的众议院办公室置评。

Lawyer for GOP Rep. Max Miller’s ex-wife files for restraining order as abuse allegations against congressman swirl
July 31, 2026 / 8:54 AM EDT / CBS News
The ex-wife of Republican Rep. Max Miller asked a court Thursday to issue a restraining order blocking the two-term Ohio congressman from contacting her lawyer, as her allegations that he assaulted her — which Miller denies — continue to plague his contentious reelection campaign.
In court filings, ex-wife Emily Moreno alleged that Miller has repeatedly had physical and verbal altercations with her attorney, Andrew Zashin, after recent court hearings in an ongoing custody battle. The pair already have court-ordered restraining orders against each other. They share a young daughter after a brief marriage that began in 2022 and ended in June 2025.
After a May court hearing, Moreno alleged that Miller insulted Zashin’s fiancee in front of witnesses at an Ohio courthouse, and alleged that after a hearing this week the congressman physically grabbed Zashin and another attorney.
“Unless restrained,” Moreno wrote in an affidavit, Miller “will continue to harass, threaten, and communicate with my counsel directly.” Moreno said that Miller also has “harassed, threatened, and communicated directly” with her past legal teams as well.

Miller represents a Republican-leaning district in the Cleveland area and is running for a third term. Moreno is the daughter of Republican Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno.
Thursday’s legal developments are the latest in months of court documents and public reports reviewed by CBS News that detail allegations of abuse by Miller against his ex-wife and his child. Miller has strenuously denied all of the allegations against him, pointing to the fact that he still has joint custody of his daughter, and has accused his ex-wife of defaming him and abusing their child herself.
According to court documents and police reports, on Feb. 1, Moreno alleged that Miller physically assaulted her during a custody exchange at his residence in Bay Village, Ohio, in front of their daughter.
Moreno, a police report alleges, went to pick up the child at Miller’s home, where he allegedly “threw” her “against the wall,” which “resulted in an obvious grab mark on her upper arm and bruising to her stomach and side where she hit the wall.”
The officer who wrote the report then details conversations with a county child protection specialist about another alleged incident two weeks later, resulting in the young child being diagnosed with a mid-right clavicle fracture.
The officer wrote in the report that a bruise accompanying the injury “appears to be a handprint and appears to have been inflicted.”
Moreno also told the police that after staying with Miller, the child said to her: “Daddy kill you,” according to the police report.
When Moreno emailed Miller asking about the statement, Miller denied that the child “would have heard anything like that from him,” the police report added.
Moreno told police there was another domestic incident in March 2025 between the two, and another incident in which Miller “previously held a gun to her head as well,” a police officer wrote after the Feb. 1 report.
According to the Feb. 1 report and other court filings from her legal team in the defamation suit, in 2024 Miller “threw onto Ms. Moreno hot water from a pan of eggs he’d just cooked” after she told the congressman she planned to leave him.
After that incident was reported in the media, Miller sued Moreno for defamation, citing “considerable reputational and financial harm” caused by her allegations that he was a “violent and abusive husband and father.”
Subsequently, Miller claimed to an Ohio magistrate judge that his current girlfriend was present at the house for the first alleged February incident, but an attorney for Miller later retracted the statement.
Miller filed a domestic violence case against Moreno in February, but moved to drop it three months later. The request was signed off on this week, with a judge finding that Miller “was not under any apparent infirmity and did not appear to have been threatened by or in fear of” Moreno.
According to sworn testimony from Moreno in a May hearing pertaining to Miller’s domestic violence case against his ex-wife, Moreno said that Miller admitted he was abusive to her and admitted to being abusive in writing.
Court transcripts also detail Moreno saying Miller made threatening statements against her father, a first-term senator who was elected in 2024, though there are no specifics mentioned. A spokesperson for Moreno’s Senate office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In an X post from May, Miller criticized his former father-in-law, calling it “unfortunate” that the senator “continues to fund and enable his daughter’s malicious campaign to ruin my life despite his knowledge of her mental health issues.”
Miller and his campaign have denied the allegations against him.
“The facts speak for themselves: the court has continued to permit him joint custody of his child. If there were credible evidence supporting these outrageous accusations, that simply would not be the case,” Abigail Angelos, a spokeswoman for Max Miller’s campaign, told CBS News in a statement. “Congressman Miller will continue to vigorously defend his reputation against false and reckless allegations designed to inflame public opinion rather than reflect reality. This narrative has gone on long enough.”
In a court transcript from after the alleged February incidents, Miller said that Moreno “is making allegations against me to not only abuse to our daughter, but she is making allegations against me to her that never happened.”
Miller added, “I have video and text message evidence showing the contrary of that. And she’s not mentally well, Your Honor.” He later said, “I was told by two separate doctors that she was diagnosed bipolar.”
“I also believe that my ex-wife is purposefully hurting my daughter,” Miller alleged, after saying a few months before the hearing that Moreno gave the daughter a black eye.
Miller said “absolutely not” when asked whether he caused a collarbone injury to the daughter, and said it was “absolutely not” true that he threw his ex-wife against a wall and grabbed her arm during a custody exchange on Feb. 1.
Moreno is not the first woman to accuse Miller of abuse. Stephanie Grisham, a former White House aide in President Trump’s first term, accused Miller of “physical abuse” in a book and a Washington Post op-ed. Miller denied the alleged abuse and filed a defamation suit against Grisham, which Miller later moved to dismiss with prejudice.
CBS News has also reached out to Miller’s House office for comment.

本周三上午刚过10点，一支沙特官员代表团抵达白宫西翼，向白宫传递信息。
据知情人士透露，国防大臣哈立德·本·萨勒曼此次突访华盛顿，向总统唐纳德·特朗普和副总统J·D·万斯转达了其兄长、沙特实权派王储的讯息：沙特希望伊朗战争降级，延长冲突将带来重大风险。
一天前，另一名特使通过同一扇门带来了截然不同的讯息。据以色列官员透露，以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡在椭圆形办公室与特朗普会面时，对与伊朗开展外交是否会取得成果表示怀疑。两位领导人讨论了向伊朗施压的备选方案，包括重启全面战争。
本周这两场接连举行的会晤纯属巧合，但它们凸显了特朗普面临的复杂局面：他正寻求从这场远超其原定时限的冲突中找到脱身之道。
随着共和党同僚施压要求结束战争，局势实际上却在升级，新的战场不断开辟，几乎整个地区国家都被卷入其中。外交努力充其量只是停滞不前；一名美国高级官员表示，恢复与伊朗的直接外交似乎并不紧迫。
尽管特朗普声称伊朗正“乞求”达成结束冲突的协议，但一些美国官员担心，伊朗政权高层比以往任何时候都更致力于掌控霍尔木兹海峡的影响力，并向美军发射导弹。
据美国官员透露，特朗普因德黑兰不愿屈服于其要求而感到沮丧，这导致他在幕后召开愤怒的会议，并在给盟友的电话中使用脏话。他定于周五在戴维营召集内阁会议，或许希望从该度假胜地过去在中东外交中取得成功的先例中汲取灵感。
伊朗持续的威胁迫使特朗普调整了自己的计划，最明显的是他本月早些时候从土耳其返程时更换了空军一号专机。据官员透露，此次更换是为了应对邻近伊朗升级的威胁，随后相关报道激怒了总统，让他颜面尽失。
一些共和党幕僚透露，特朗普的许多盟友如今担心伊朗战争有彻底拖垮他的总统任期的风险，进而危及共和党在即将到来的中期选举中的胜算。本周CNN的一项民调显示，仅有28%的美国人认可他对战争的处理方式。
向特朗普提出的升级冲突的方案已得到详尽讨论，更多军事资产被调往该地区，等待总统批准。美国官员称，中央司令部制定的一项计划涉及在一到两周内实施大规模轰炸，以摧毁伊朗的导弹能力。
但在上周国会山的一场听证会上，参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军承认，仅凭空中轰炸，特朗普不太可能实现其此前 stated的所有战争目标。
“空中力量有其局限性，”凯恩当时对议员们说道。
到目前为止特朗普仍未采取行动，部分原因是凯恩表达了对防空拦截弹库存减少的担忧。其他官员也提出担忧，如果特朗普兑现打击桥梁和海水淡化厂等基础设施的威胁，可能会造成大量平民伤亡。
“我这样做是在伤害谁？伤害的是普通民众，所以我不打算这么做，”总统在本周福克斯新闻的一次采访中说道。
据知情人士透露，目前地区各方的外交讨论围绕一项短期协议展开，重点是重新开放霍尔木兹海峡，这将让特朗普能够宣称取得了胜利。上月美伊签署的谅解备忘录中对该问题的处理方式存在截然不同的解读，此后这条水道成为了冲突的核心。
共和党幕僚表示，共和党人在整个冲突期间大多支持特朗普，但越来越担心高油价可能会在中期选举中损害本党利益，因此他们在私下谈话中传达了重新开放这条航道的重要性。
“显然，我们希望在那里取得成功。我们认为我们已经在那里取得了很高的军事成就，”参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩本周说道。“霍尔木兹海峡的问题显然是总统及其团队正在继续谈判的议题，希望他们能在不久的将来达成一个结果或解决方案。”
白宫表示，伊朗将“继续付出代价”，直到他们以特朗普接受的方式回到谈判桌前。“美国与伊朗签署了谅解备忘录，他们却违反了协议，袭击商船，杀害美军士兵。特朗普总统不会坐视这种恐怖主义行为发生。伊朗将继续付出代价，直到他们以特朗普认为有意义的方式回到谈判桌前，”新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特在一份声明中说道。
尽管包括卡塔尔和巴基斯坦在内的调解方正加紧努力恢复外交谈判，但几乎没有任何积极谈判的迹象。相反，官员们如今担心伊朗强大的革命卫队牢牢掌控着决策权，美国一直在接触的政治人物不过是挂名首脑。
令情况更加复杂的是伊朗革命卫队内部的动态：几名高级指挥官都在争夺控制权。美国官员和地区伙伴之所以担心冲突可能持续下去，主要原因之一便是这种局面。
本周在椭圆形办公室，特朗普暗示了这种分歧，他称伊朗对美军阵地的袭击并非其团队试图接触的谈判对象所为。
“这与我们正在打交道的那伙人不是同一批，”他坚称。“他们已经道歉了。”
特朗普抱怨称，很难弄清伊朗内部是谁在做决策，有时还对美国和德黑兰能否达成任何协议表示怀疑。尽管如此，他的首席特使史蒂夫·维特科夫夫和女婿贾里德·库什纳仍对达成协议抱有信心。
据熟悉此次会晤的以色列官员透露，本周特朗普与内塔尼亚胡的会晤（维特科夫夫和其他高级官员也在场）中，内塔尼亚胡对与伊朗开展外交是否奏效表示怀疑，并将这一观点告知了特朗普。
两位领导人转而讨论了加大对伊朗施压的各种选项，包括强化军事打击和经济制裁。一名官员表示，内塔尼亚胡在会晤中向特朗普保证，美国总统是最终决策者，试图反驳有关以色列试图说服特朗普重启战争的说法。
“我们在讨论该怎么做——并没有标准答案，”一名出席会晤的以色列官员事后说道。
次日，特朗普的沙特访客就冲突提出了沙特自己的评估。哈立德王子——沙特实际统治者王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼的亲密心腹——此次访问行程短暂，最初定于上周进行。他离开白宫后不久便离开了华盛顿。
据知情人士透露，尽管本周美沙联合开展了针对伊拉克境内伊朗支持的民兵的新行动，但沙特仍希望看到冲突降级。沙特国防大臣告诉万斯，沙特的军事行动旨在明确其将自卫，袭击其民用基础设施是一条不会得不到回应的红线。这也是为了向伊朗的代理人传递信息：这场战争不该由他们来打。
据消息人士透露，沙特的评估是，伊朗将试图通过升级局势来制造筹码，并继续利用伊拉克和也门的亲伊朗民兵来达到目的。
“大臣传递的核心信息……是推动局势升级的是内塔尼亚胡，而沙特王国希望降级，”一名熟悉对话的消息人士告诉CNN。
目前尚不清楚特朗普从这些会晤中得到了什么结论，但他在数小时后声称，这场如今已有埃及和沙特等新参与者卷入的扩大冲突将很快得到解决。
“一切都会理顺的，”他周三说道，随后预告了又一轮报复性打击：“轮到我们了，我们看看能否在某个时刻达成协议。但我们会对他们进行重创。”
Trump gets conflicting messages as he seeks an exit ramp from the Iran war
2026-07-31T13:07:50.013Z / https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/31/politics/trump-iran-war-saudi-israel
Just past 10 a.m. on Wednesday, a delegation of Saudi officials arrived at the West Wing carrying a message for the White House.
Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman, on an unannounced visit to Washington, conveyed word to both President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance from his brother, the kingdom’s powerful crown prince, that Saudi Arabia wants the Iran war to deescalate — and that prolonging the conflict carries major risks, according to people familiar with the conversations.
A day earlier, another emissary had arrived through the same door with a different message. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, sitting with Trump in the Oval Office, voiced skepticism that diplomacy with Iran would prove fruitful, according to Israeli officials. Instead, the two discussed options for pressuring Iran, including renewing a full-scale war, those officials said.
The back-to-back meetings this week were scheduled coincidentally. But they nonetheless underscore the crosscurrents facing Trump as he seeks an exit ramp to a conflict that has extended well past his deadline.
As pressure mounts from fellow Republicans to wind the war down, it actually appears to be expanding, with new fronts opening up and virtually every country in the region now drawn in. Efforts at diplomacy are halting at best; a senior US official said resuming direct diplomacy with Iran does not appear imminent.
Despite Trump’s claims Iran is “begging” for a deal to end the violence, some US officials fear regime figures appear more committed than ever to wielding leverage over the Strait of Hormuz and firing missiles toward American troops.
Trump has grown frustrated at Tehran’s unwillingness to bend to his demands, leading to angry meetings behind the scenes and expletive-laced phone calls to his allies, according to US officials. He is scheduled to convene his Cabinet on Friday at Camp David, perhaps hoping to seize inspiration from the retreat’s past role in successful Middle East diplomacy.
The ongoing threats from Iran have forced Trump to alter his own plans, most notably a swap in Air Force One aircraft on his return trip from Turkey earlier this month. The change was made amid ramped up threats from neighboring Iran, according to officials, and subsequent coverage of the issue infuriated and embarrassed the president.
Many of Trump’s allies are now worried the Iran war is threatening to engulf his presidency entirely, and with it, Republicans’ chances in upcoming midterm elections, according to some GOP operatives. A CNN survey this week found only 28% of Americans approved of his handling of the war.
Options for escalating the conflict have been presented to Trump and debated at length, and more military assets flowed to the region in anticipation of a go-ahead from the president. One plan conceived by Central Command would involve heavy bombardment over the course of one or two weeks to take out Iran’s missile capabilities, US officials said.
But during a hearing on Capitol Hill last week, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine acknowledged that it is unlikely Trump can accomplish all his previously stated objectives for the war with air bombing alone.
“Air power has its limits,” Caine told lawmakers at the time.
And Trump has so far held off, in part after hearing concerns from Caine about dwindling supplies of air defense interceptors. Other officials have also raised worries about the risks of high civilian casualties if Trump followed through on threats to strike infrastructure sites like bridges and water desalination plants.
“Who am I hurting there? I’m hurting the people, so I’m not looking to do that,” the president said during a Fox News interview this week.
At this point, diplomatic discussions among regional players revolve around a short-term agreement focused on reopening the Strait of Hormuz, according to people familiar with the discussions, that would allow Trump to claim a win. The waterway has become the center of the conflict after the US and Iran came away with very different interpretations of how the issue was addressed in last month’s memorandum of understanding.
Republicans, who have largely supported Trump over the course of the conflict but are increasingly concerned higher gas prices could hurt their party in the midterms, have conveyed in private conversations the importance of getting the conduit reopened, the GOP operatives said.
“Obviously, we want success there. We think that we’ve achieved a high level of military success there,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune said this week. “The question on the Strait of Hormuz is something that obviously the president and his team are trying to continue to negotiate, and hopefully they’ll land an outcome or a solution there in the near future.”
The White House said Iran would “continue to pay” until they come to the table in a way Trump accepts. “The United States signed an MOU with Iran and they broke it, shot at commercial ships, and killed American soldiers. President Trump is not going to stand by and allow this terrorist behavior to occur. Iran will continue to pay until they come to the table in, what President Trump deems, a meaningful way,” press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
While mediators including Qatar and Pakistan are hurriedly working to revive diplomatic talks, there are few signs of any active negotiations. Instead, officials now fear Iran’s powerful revolutionary guards are firmly in control of the decision making, leaving the political figures the US has been talking with as figureheads.
Complicating matters are the internal dynamics of the IRGC itself, where a handful of senior commanders are all jockeying for control. That dynamic is a leading reason why US officials and regional partners fear the conflict is likely to drag on.
In the Oval Office this week, Trump hinted at the divide, saying attempted Iranian strikes at US positions had not been the work of the interlocutors his team is trying to engage.
“It was a different group than we’re dealing with,” he insisted. “They’ve already apologized.”
Trump has complained that it’s difficult to know who is making decisions inside Iran, and he sometimes casts doubt on the ability of the US and Tehran to arrive at any agreement. Still, his top envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner have voiced confidence a deal is possible.
During Trump’s meeting with Netanyahu this week — attended by Witkoff and other senior officials — the prime minister appeared skeptical that diplomacy with Iran would work, and told Trump as much, according to Israeli officials familiar with the meeting.
Instead, the men discussed various options for ramping up pressure on Iran, including intensifying military strikes and economic measures. Netanyahu assured Trump in the meeting that the US president was the final decision maker, one of the officials said, seeking to rebut suggestions Israel is attempting to sway Trump toward a resumption of war.
“We’re talking about what to do – you don’t have a textbook solution,” an Israeli official who attended the meeting said afterward.
The next day, Trump’s visitor from Saudi Arabia offered the kingdom’s own assessment of the conflict. The visit by Prince Khalid — a close confidant of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler — was brief and initially scheduled for last week. He departed Washington soon after leaving the White House.
Despite new joint US-Saudi operations against Iran-backed militias in Iraq this week, Saudi Arabia still wants to see de-escalation in the conflict, the defense minister told Vance, according to people familiar with the conversation. The Saudi military action was meant to make clear that it will defend itself and that attacking its civilian infrastructure is a red line that will not go unanswered, the sources said. It was also meant to send the message to Iran’s proxies that this is not their war to fight.
Saudi Arabia’s assessment, according to the sources, is that Iran will seek to create leverage through escalation, and continue trying to use pro-Iranian militias in Iraq and Yemen to do so.
“The minister’s underlying message … is that it’s Netanyahu who is pushing for this escalation, whereas the Kingdom wants to de-escalate,” a source familiar with the conversation told CNN.
What Trump took away from the meetings wasn’t exactly clear, though he claimed hours later the widening conflict — now involving new players like Egypt and Saudi Arabia — would soon come to a resolution.
“It’s going to be straightening out,” he said Wednesday, going on to preview another night of retaliatory strikes: “It’s our turn, and we’ll see if we get there with an agreement at some point. But we’re going to hit them very hard.”

路透社报道，刚果（金）通信部星期五（7月31日）发布的声明说，报告的病例已增至3532起，死亡1556起。
联合国世界粮食计划署副执行主任斯考（Carl Skau）本周告诉路透社：“这是我们见过传播速度最快的伊波拉疫情，世界须要更为重视。”
据非洲疾病控制和预防中心称，疫情暴发不到三个月，死亡人数已是以往疫情同期死亡人数的五倍。
此次疫情由罕见的伊波拉病毒本迪布焦型毒株（Bundibugyo）引起，目前尚无获批的疫苗或治疗方法。

一位出席了唐纳德·特朗普总统周三在白宫宣布一项名为“自由承运人”新举措的陆军退伍军人兼卡车运输公司高管，对这项提振行业的新计划表示赞扬。
“我来到这里支持进入这个始终缺人的行业的事业，”汤姆·雅克说道，他是废物管理公司的交通部合规总监。雅克同时还是宾夕法尼亚州卡车运输协会的董事会主席。
雅克的简历显示他曾入伍陆军，作为总统护卫队加入美国第三步兵师，他称该计划“太棒了”。

特朗普任命退伍军人解决困扰美国公路的非法移民卡车运输问题
“能够将训练有素、纪律严明且乐于奉献的工人引入这个需要纪律和安全意识的行业，这太棒了，”雅克在白宫接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时表示。“驾驶8万磅重的牵引车挂车，你必须明白需要保持纪律和安全。因此，利用退伍军人从军队转型进入下一职业赛道的庞大劳动力资源，是件好事。”
根据该倡议，拥有军方服役期间获得的重型车辆操作经验的合格退伍军人可申请豁免商业驾照道路技能考试，从而避免重复参加已在军队中掌握的培训。
在目前已加入该计划的34个州中，部分符合条件的退伍军人还可豁免笔试。没有军方卡车驾驶经验的退伍军人将有资格参加加速培训，政府官员表示该培训可在数周内完成。

特朗普推动“自由承运人”倡议，加快退伍军人进入卡车运输行业
“数据显示，退伍军人卡车司机的事故率比普通司机低42%。想想看，42%，”特朗普在活动中说道。“他们说这个数字还是非常保守的，因为他们的驾驶里程是非退伍军人司机的两倍。”
雅克表示，卡车运输行业始终需要新司机，并谈到了卡车司机在美国民众日常生活中的重要作用。
“看看卡车运输行业，这些幕后工作正是将商品运送到指定地点的关键，”他说。
他还指出，在新冠疫情期间，当非必要行业员工被休假、美国大部分地区实行居家办公时，卡车司机没有这种选择。美国人依赖他们的工作才能获得生活必需品，否则国家可能会“停摆”，他说道。

“卡车司机职位并不短缺，”雅克说。“劳动力正在老龄化。人们需要明白，我们必须持续补充劳动力，而让我们的退伍军人……在退役后就能获得一份不错的高薪工作，这是个绝佳的机会。看到更多退伍军人手握方向盘，那将是非常美好的事。”
失控的不合格非法移民卡车司机危及美国公路上的儿童，内部人士警告：“简直疯了”
卡车司机薪资丰厚这一事实并未被交通部长肖恩·达菲忽视，他也在周三的活动中发表了讲话。
“这些都是高薪工作，年薪可达8万至10万美元以上，”他说。“这一点很重要，因为曾在军队驾驶重型卡车的男女退伍军人退役后，不得不花费数月时间参加培训、通过技能和知识考试，才能驾驶这类车辆。”
该倡议还有另一项内容——将非法移民卡车司机赶下公路。

“多年来，美国高速公路一直被不合格的非法移民危险驾驶重型卡车所笼罩，”特朗普说道，他指出许多非法移民司机不会说英语或看不懂道路标志。“你必须具备这项技能，而这些人没有。他们却在驾驶重型卡车、半挂货车和牵引车挂车，仅仅因为州一级的激进左翼疯子给他们颁发了商业驾照，尽管他们根本无权获得这些驾照。”

他表示，仅去年一年，就至少有30名美国人死于非法移民卡车司机之手，且已有2.4万名非法移民司机被清除上路。
“简单来说，为了结束这种情况，激进左翼希望为非法移民提供更多工作岗位，让更多移民驾驶18轮卡车，”特朗普说。“而特朗普政府希望拥有更安全的道路，为美国退伍军人提供更多工作岗位。”

Army veteran raves over Trump’s plan to ditch illegal alien truck drivers and hire vets
July 31, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Qualified veterans with heavy vehicle experience from military service can skip duplicating driver training they received
By Peter D’Abrosca Fox News
An Army veteran who is now the top executive at a major trucking company says President Trump’s plan to fast-track veterans applying for CDLs will greatly bolster the industry.

An Army veteran and trucking company executive who attended President Donald Trump’s Wednesday announcement about a new initiative called “Freedom Haulers” at the White House praised the new plan to provide a boost to the industry.
“I came down here to support the cause of getting into an industry that is always in need,” said Tom Jacques, the director of Department of Transportation (DOT) compliance at Waste Management. Jacques is also the chairman of the board of directors for the Pennsylvania Motor Trucking Association.
Jacques, whose biography says he enlisted in the Army and joined the 3rd U.S. Infantry as an escort to the President, called the plan “wonderful.”

TRUMP TAPS VETERANS TO FIX ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKING PROBLEM PLAGUING US ROADWAYS
“It’s wonderful to get skilled workers who are disciplined [and] dedicated into an industry that requires discipline and dedication,” Jacques told Fox News Digital at the White House. “You don’t get behind the wheel of a tractor-trailer — 80,000 pounds — without understanding the need to be disciplined and to be safe. So it’s nice to have that, to tap into a large workforce as they transition out of the military and into the next career field.”
Under the initiative, qualified veterans with heavy-vehicle experience gained during military service can apply to waive the CDL road-skills test, allowing them to avoid duplicating training they received in the military.
Certain veterans in participating states — 34 of them so far — may also qualify for a waiver of the written knowledge test. Veterans without military truck-driving experience will be eligible for expedited training that administration officials said could be completed in several weeks.

TRUMP PROMOTES FREEDOM HAULERS INITIATIVE TO FAST-TRACK MILITARY VETERANS INTO TRUCKING JOBS
“Data shows that truck drivers who are veterans account for 42% fewer accidents. Think of that, 42%,” Trump said at the event. “And that number, they say, is their very minimal number, even as they drive double the number of miles of non-veteran drivers.”
Jacques said the trucking industry is always in need of new drivers, and discussed the important role that truckers play in the everyday lives of Americans.
“If you take a look at the trucking industry, the behind the scenes, that’s what gets the commodities where they’re at,” he said.
He also noted that during COVID-19, when non-essential workers were furloughed and much of America worked from home, truckers didn’t have that option. Americans depended upon their work in order to have access to necessities, otherwise the country could have “shut down,” he said.

“There’s no shortage of positions for truck drivers,” said Jacques. “It’s an aging workforce. It’s something that people need to understand that we’ve got to be continually replenishing that workforce, and [it’s] a great opportunity getting our veterans … into a good, highly-paying job right out of the service. It’s going to be really nice to see more service members behind the wheel.”
OUT OF CONTROL, UNQUALIFIED ILLEGAL ALIEN TRUCKERS ENDANGERING KIDS ON US ROADS, INSIDER WARNS: ‘JUST MADNESS’
That truckers are paid well is a fact not lost on Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who also spoke at Wednesday’s event.
“These are great paying jobs. They’re anywhere from $80 to $100,000 plus a year,” he said. “And it’s important because you have men and women who drove big rigs in the military who would then get out and have to go through a months-long training for their skills and their knowledge test to drive this vehicle over here.”
The initiative has another component — getting illegal alien truck drivers off the roads.

“For many years, American highways and roadways have been terrorized by unqualified illegal aliens dangerously driving big rigs,” Trump said, pointing out that many illegal alien drivers can’t speak English or read the road signs. “You have to have a talent for it, and these people don’t have that. They’re driving big rigs, semi trucks and tractor trailers, all because radical left maniacs at the state level have issued them commercial driver’s licenses, even though they’re not entitled to have them.”

He said that last year alone, at least 30 Americans were killed at the hands of illegal alien truck drivers, and that 24,000 illegal aliens drivers have already been taken off the streets.
“So to end this, very simply, the radical left wants more jobs for illegal aliens and more migrants in 18-wheelers, Trump said. “And the Trump administration wants safer roads and more jobs for the American veteran.”

图恩予以反驳，称共和党缺乏投票支持，并表示特朗普的说法是“另一种算法”
作者：亚历克斯·米勒，福克斯新闻
总统唐纳德·特朗普并未完全支持参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩，他在椭圆形办公室对记者表示，随着他引以为傲的《拯救美国法案》陷入停滞，“我们将拭目以待”图恩是否是领导参议院共和党人的合适人选。

数月以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统一直执着于一项立法优先事项。如今，该法案的一再失败可能正让参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩失去总统的支持。
特朗普一直敦促共和党人通过《拯救美国法案》——这项他缺失的立法核心成就，并将对该法案的支持变成了一项忠诚度考验。
图恩已成为那些因法案在参议院未能推进而感到愤怒的人的攻击目标。数月来，特朗普基本没有因该法案的搁置进展批评过他。这种情况似乎已经改变。
两人关系出现细微裂痕源于图恩做了很少有共和党人愿意做的事：对特朗普说不。

“嗯，这对他来说太糟糕了，”当被问及图恩没有投票推动《拯救美国法案》时，特朗普说道，“我的意思是，这对他和共和党来说都太糟糕了。”
“他有投票权，”他继续说道，“他应该完成这项工作。他应该能够完成这项工作。”
尽管此前曾支持过图恩，但当被问及图恩是否是这份工作的合适人选时，特朗普似乎动摇了对他的支持。
“嗯，我们将拭目以待，到时我会告诉你们，”特朗普说。

在往返参议院议事厅的路上，图恩被记者追问特朗普的言论。当被问及特朗普对他作为参议院共和党领袖的支持是否动摇时，图恩暗示这不由他决定。
“我不知道该怎么说，”他说，“这是由我的同僚们做出的决定。”
他还驳斥了总统关于共和党人可以通过《拯救美国法案》的说法。
“那肯定是另一种算法，”图恩说。
图恩一再辩称，共和党根本没有足够票数通过《拯救美国法案》，这一立场日益让他与特朗普产生分歧。一个共和党议员团体从未支持过该法案，而参议院民主党人则普遍反对，这让图恩无法获得所需票数。

“我认为指责图恩——参议员图恩——是错误的，”堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“这不是他的错。”
尽管如此，图恩还是推动了多项总统支持的重要立法，并让参议院的提名确认速度创下纪录，同时还要应对处境 vulnerable的共和党议员投下艰难政治选票的情况，以及势必处处阻挠特朗普议程的民主党人。
“我希望下一届国会，那些持有美国参议员选举证书、真正做出这项决定的人，能展现出一些独立性和勇气，”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“并认识到图恩帮助在这位总统的领导下， navigate了一个几乎不可能应对的局面。”
该法案曾以多种形式接受过多次表决，但从未获得通过所需的票数。图恩也曾表示，没有足够票数废除阻挠议事规则，而特朗普在其第二任期内一直推动废除该规则。
即便特朗普公开质疑图恩，这位参议院共和党领袖仍打算寻求连任，继续担任参议院共和党最高职位。
领导层由参议院共和党议员内部选举产生，而非由总统任命。图恩从一众候选人中脱颖而出，取代肯塔基州参议员米奇·麦康奈尔，与德克萨斯州参议员约翰·康恩以及佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特竞争，最终拿下参议院共和党最高职位。

到目前为止，他的同僚们都支持他。
曾与图恩竞选该职位的斯科特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他无意再次竞选参议院最高职位。他还指出，尽管自己曾渴望这份工作，但这是一份艰难的职业。
“约翰是个聪明人，”斯科特说，“他工作非常努力。所以我认为他不应该——你知道，成为领袖很难。”
“我们有很多问题尚未解决，所以这很艰难，”他继续说道，“我当时就料到会很难。”

Trump questions Thune’s leadership as SAVE America Act stalls

Thune pushed back, saying Republicans lack the votes and calling Trump’s claim ‘a different form of math’
By Alex Miller, Fox News
President Donald Trump didn’t fully back Senate Majority Leader John Thune, telling reporters in the Oval Office, “We’re going to find out” if Thune is the one to lead Senate Republicans as his prized SAVE America Act founders.

For months, President Donald Trump has fixated on one legislative priority. Now, its repeated failure may be costing Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., the president’s support.
Trump has badgered Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, his missing legislative crown jewel, turning support for the bill into a loyalty test.
Thune has become the target for those irritated that the bill hasn’t moved in the Senate. For months, Trump largely spared him from criticism over the bill’s stalled progress. That appears to have changed.
The hairline fractures in their relationship stem from Thune doing what few Republicans are willing to do: tell Trump no.

“Well, that’s too bad for him,” Trump said when asked about Thune not having the votes to move the SAVE America Act. “I mean, that’s too bad for him and too bad for the Republican Party.”
“He’s got the votes,” he continued. “He should get it done. He should be able to get it done.”
And, though he’s backed him before, Trump appeared to waver in his support of Thune when asked if he was the right man for the job.
“Well, we’re going to find out, and I’ll let you know,” Trump said.

On his way to and from the Senate floor, Thune was pressed on Trump’s comments. When asked about Trump wavering on him as the leader of the Senate GOP, Thune signaled it wasn’t up to him.
“I don’t know what you say on that,” he said. “That’s a decision made by my colleagues.”
He also pushed back on the president’s assertion that Republicans could pass the SAVE America Act.
“That must be a different form of math,” Thune said.
Thune has repeatedly argued Republicans simply don’t have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act, a position that has increasingly put him at odds with Trump. A bloc of Republicans has never supported the legislation, while Senate Democrats overwhelmingly oppose it, leaving Thune without the votes.

“I think it’s wrong to blame Thune for this — Senator Thune,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital. “This is not his fault.”
Still, Thune has moved major legislation backed by the president and has the Senate on a record pace for nominee confirmations, all while dealing with vulnerable Republicans taking tough political votes and Democrats who are bound to kneecap Trump’s agenda at every turn.
“I hope that the next Congress, the people with the election certificates as U.S. senators who actually make that decision, show some independence and courage,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital. “And recognize that Thune has helped navigate an almost impossible scenario to navigate with this president.”
The legislation has been tested several times in a variety of forms, and has never gotten the needed votes to pass. And Thune has said the votes aren’t there to nuke the filibuster, which Trump has pushed for throughout his second term.
Even as Trump publicly questions Thune, the Senate GOP leader intends to seek another term as the top Republican.
Leadership is elected internally by Senate Republicans, not by the president. Thune came out of a crowded field to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., battling Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., to get the top spot in the Senate GOP.

And his colleagues, so far, have his back.
Scott, who ran against Thune, told Fox News Digital that he had no intention of running for the top gig in the Senate again. He also noted that even though he wanted it, it’s a difficult profession to take on.
“John’s a smart guy,” Scott said. “He is working really hard. So I think he shouldn’t — you know, it’s tough to be the leader.”
“We’ve got a lot of issues we haven’t addressed, so it’s hard,” he continued. “I assumed it was gonna be hard.”

禁令落实三月后 澳洲仍有逾八成青少年用社媒
2026年7月31日 19:51 / 联合早报 麦可欣
调查发现，因科技公司核查不力，澳洲社媒禁令落实三个月后，仍有超过80%的青少年继续使用社媒平台。 （路透社）
（悉尼综合电）澳大利亚不准16岁以下青少年使用社交媒体的禁令生效三个月后，仍有逾八成少年使用社媒，原因是科技企业未能实施有效的年龄核查措施。
澳洲互联网监管机构eSafety星期五（7月31日）发布的调查结果显示，这道禁令去年12月10日生效，到了今年3月，大多数10至15岁的少年儿童使用社媒的频率几乎没有变化，而且家长对孩子这方面的习惯的了解程度不增反退。
报告指出，拥有社媒账号的少年儿童比率从52%降至42%，其中使用YouTube、Snapchat和TikTok的降幅最为显著，但尽管如此，澳洲少年儿童仍普遍持续使用社媒。
eSafety在声明中指出：“大多数在禁令实施前就有社媒账号的16岁以下者，在禁令生效三个月后，要么保留了账号，要么创建了新账号。社媒平台未能实施有效的年龄核实措施被列为主要原因。”
澳洲当局担忧社媒影响儿童少年的身心健康，因而出台了这道禁令，成为全球首例，受到很多有意仿效的国家密切关注。
根据报告，在禁令实施前，近86%的受访儿童承认至少使用一个有年龄限制的社媒平台。禁令生效三个月后，这一比率仍超过81%；约58%的受访少年承认，每天或频繁使用社媒，只比被禁前的60%稍微下降。
报告还显示，禁令几乎没有改变儿童少年在“体育锻炼、艺术音乐、陪伴亲友与社区活动”等现实生活中的时间分配。
在保留账号的儿童当中，约一半坦承平台并没有核查他们的年龄，这是他们能够继续使用服务的最主要原因。另一些受访者透露，他们虚报自己满16岁，或利用系统误判漏洞成功“通关”。
这份报告由全球高校研究员组成的专家组撰写，对比了禁令生效前后对4000多名儿童与家庭的追踪数据。澳洲当局准备追踪调查两年，以评估禁令的成效。
调查还发现了意想不到的结果，即家长对孩子使用社媒的了解程度不升反降。“这个情况可能意味着无法及时求助或发现网络伤害。家长了解得越少，能够给予支持或进行早期干预的机会就越小。”
