*【拜登稱美國將按計劃完成從阿富汗撤離】
拜登總統表示,美國將在8月31日的最後期限前,結束在阿富汗長達20年的駐軍。但他也表示,已與軍方領導人進行了交談,以便他們準備“在必要時調整時間表”。目前美軍仍夜以繼日地協助首都喀布爾的美國人及阿富汗盟友撤離。拜登提供有關喀布爾機場加速疏散的情形,稱到目前為止已有70,700人搭機離開了。

*【塔利班統治下,喀布爾的生活再次改變】
美國人走了,加尼政府垮臺,一夜之間,數百萬喀布爾居民經歷了巨變。塔利班重新掌權九天之後,喀布爾政務服務仍基本停滯;銀行關閉、物價飆升,居民手中現金也越來越少。與機場的混亂相比,市區的氛圍是一種恐懼下的平靜,許多居民都在謹慎觀察,新統治者治下的生活將會如何。

*【阿富汗有多少人需要救援?人數仍然難以捉摸】
截至週二晚上,已有70 700多人從阿富汗撤離。近6000名美軍正在保護首都喀布爾的國際機場。每45分鐘就有更多的美國航班起飛。自8月14日塔利班包圍喀布爾以來,拜登政府提供了一系列有關其空運美國人、阿富汗人和其他人的最新情況。然而,美國官員給不出一個最重要的數字:最終需要救援的人數。

*【中央情報局局長訪問喀布爾與塔利班進行秘密會談】
美國官員表示,伯恩斯前往喀布爾,並與阿富汗新的實際領導人進行了迄今為止最高級別的親自會談。伯恩斯曾長期擔任外交官,是拜登政府最有經驗的幕後談判代表。週一會見了塔利班領導人巴拉達爾,巴拉達爾曾在川普政府執政期間,在卡達與美國政府進行外交談判。雖然美國官員不願提供這次短暫訪問的細節,但他們說,伯恩斯並不是為了談判延長拜登總統8月31日的撤軍計畫。事實上,在伯恩斯先生離開後,塔利班宣佈他們將拒絕任何推遲美軍撤離的決定。

*【兩名眾議院議員秘密飛往喀布爾,執行未經授權的監督任務】
兩名國會議員未經授權秘密飛往喀布爾,目睹了美國人和阿富汗人的瘋狂撤離,這激怒了拜登政府官員,並促使議長裴洛西要求其他立法者不要效仿。兩位成員是麻州民主黨眾議員Seth Moulton和密西根州共和黨人Peter Meijer,都是退伍軍人,他們在一份聲明中表示,此行的目的是“對行政部門進行監督”。

*【美軍加大從喀布爾撤離的力度,但仍有瓶頸】
美國國防部官員表示,隨著8月31日美國從阿富汗撤軍的最後期限逼近,已加快從喀布爾機場撤離的速度,在24小時內要將21600人撤離。但仍有難題,因為在與時間賽跑的情況下,這意味著,喀布爾國際機場的5800名海軍陸戰隊和士兵必須設法撤離數千名美國人和阿富汗盟友,並以某種方式在未來7天內,處去在阿富汗20年戰爭的基地。但數百名總部、維修和其他支援部隊已經離開該國,國防部官員一直不願公開表示,似乎越來越清楚的是:一些人將被拋在後面。

*【塔利班發言人敦促婦女待在家裡,因為民兵沒有被教育要尊重女性】
塔利班過去對待阿富汗婦女,要求在某種必要情況下,一般是不允許出門的,如果違反,即遭毆打、酷刑或處決。在塔利班捲土重來後的九天裡,巷領導人堅持這次將有所不同。他們說,婦女將被允許工作。女孩可以自由上學。至少,在他們對伊斯蘭教的理解範圍內。但早期的跡象並不樂觀,塔利班發言人週二發表聲明稱,女性目前最好還是待在家裡,他解釋說,因為一些武裝分子還沒有接受過不傷害她們的訓練。發言人Zabihullah Mujahid稱這是一項“臨時”政策,旨在保護婦女,直到塔利班能夠確保她們的安全。

*【以色列新領導人支持在伊朗問題上採取強硬立場,但美國態度轉為溫和】
在會見拜登總統之前接受採訪時,以色列總理貝內特表示,他反對美國與伊朗恢復核協議的努力,並排除了與巴勒斯坦進行和平談判的可能性。在美國混亂地從阿富汗撤軍以及伊朗新的強硬總統上任的背景下,貝內特的魅力攻勢可能給拜登帶來一個小小的外交政策桂冠,與重要盟友恢復關係,但它也可能為摩擦提供火種。

*【眾議院通過了3.5兆美元預算計畫】
眾議院以 220 票對 212 票的微弱投票通過了3.5兆美元的預算藍圖,允許民主黨開始起草立法,涵蓋該黨的許多首要任務,包括擴大社會安全網和應對氣候變化的資金。民主黨領導人不得不討價還價,向溫和派承諾,將在9月27日之前就1兆美元的兩黨基礎設施計畫進行投票。

*【田納西州正努力應對失去的一切,並積極尋找失蹤者】
田納西州中部遭受猛烈洪水侵襲後,尋找失蹤民眾的緊迫感繼續推進,儘管當局承認希望越來越渺茫。在災難性的山洪爆發後,至少有18人死亡,另外3人下落不明。官員們將這次破壞歸咎於危險條件的“完美風暴”。

*【美國副總統訪問東南亞猛批中國,阿富汗局勢為其行程蒙上陰影】
在新加坡的訪問致詞中,賀錦麗表示,“北京繼續在南中國海進行脅迫、恐嚇”,其“非法主張”威脅了各國主權。自美國從阿富汗無序撤軍以來,人們對華盛頓作為國際合作夥伴的可靠性提出越來越多質疑。賀錦麗此行被視為對美國信譽的一次考驗,盟友是否仍然相信他們可以依靠白宮?

Video Title: How Hong Kong Became a Giant Refrigerator
"Here’s a statement: over the last 50 years, Hong Kong has become a giant refrigerator. Despite its hot, humid, subtropical climate, the city remains an icicle all year round. But what do I mean by this? Well, Hong Kong has a bizarre problem. It has developed an obsession with air-conditioners so extreme it no longer makes any sense—winter coats are needed during the sweltering summer, and ACs are blasted in the midst of winter. There are many countries around the world that use and abuse their air conditioners—Singapore, Japan, Saudi Arabia, the US, to name a few—but Hong Kong (the city I grew up in), takes all this to a whole new level. So this raises questions—why are there so many ACs? Why is the temperature set so low? And—strangest of all—why can‘t they just turn it off? With Hong Kong, the answer is never simple..."
