Starmer Resigns as UK Prime Minister Less Than Two Years After Landslide Victory / 斯塔默执政不到两年宣布辞去英国首相职务
Sir Keir Starmer announced his resignation as Britain's prime minister, less than two years after winning a landslide majority at a general election. The trigger for Sir Keir's decision to go was Andy Burnham's victory in a by-election. The hitherto mayor of Greater Manchester is a Labour Party favourite who will stand for party leader in mid-July. Sir Keir's time in office was plagued by broken promises and a series of U-turns, often forced by militant backbench MPs. His judgment was also questioned, as advisers and ministers, including his deputy, were forced to resign for inappropriate behaviour. Following disastrous local elections for Labour, seven ministers quit after falling out with Sir Keir. After Sir Keir announced his departure the European Union postponed a summit with Britain that had only recently been set for July 22nd. Sir Keir had promoted the summit as a chance to reset Britain's relations with the EU, but the EU wants to wait until a new prime minister is in place.
基尔·斯塔默宣布辞去英国首相职务，此时距离他在大选中赢得压倒性多数支持还不到两年。促使其作出这一决定的导火索是安迪·伯纳姆在一次补选中胜出。这位现任大曼彻斯特市长深受工党拥戴，并将于7月中旬参加工党领袖竞选。斯塔默执政期间屡次违背竞选承诺、政策立场反复摇摆，这些变化往往都是在激进派后座议员施压下做出的。他的判断力也饱受质疑：包括副首相在内的多位顾问及部长均因行为不当被迫辞职。在工党在地方选举中遭遇惨败后，又有七名部长因与斯塔默意见不合选择离任。斯塔默宣布去职后，欧盟将原定7月22日举行的欧盟-英国峰会推迟举行。斯塔默原本将这次峰会视为修复英国与欧盟关系的良机，但欧盟方面却希望等新首相上任后再进行会谈。
US and Iran Continue Talks in Switzerland; Trump Warns of Resuming Attacks / 美伊在瑞士续谈，特朗普警告可能重启攻击
American and Iranian officials concluded a round of talks in Switzerland about the next stage of their peace deal. Qatari and Pakistani mediators reported "encouraging progress" towards a lasting agreement. But Donald Trump warned that "I can do whatever I want" after a 60-day pause in fighting. The president threatened to seize control of the Strait of Hormuz and resume attacks on Iran if it does not curtail Hizbullah, Iran's proxy in Lebanon.
美伊两国官员在瑞士就和平协议的后续落实举行了新一轮会谈。卡塔尔和巴基斯坦的调解人员称，双方正朝着达成长期协议的方向取得"令人鼓舞的进展"。不过唐纳德·特朗普也发出警告称，在为期60天的停火期结束后，"我可以随心所欲行事"。这位总统威胁称，如果伊朗未能控制住其在黎巴嫩的代理武装真主党，他将强行接管霍尔木兹海峡并重新对伊朗发起攻击。
Another US-Brokered Ceasefire in Lebanon; Iran Claims Right to "Administer" Hormuz / 美再促黎巴嫩停火，伊朗宣称对霍尔木兹海峡行使"管理权"
At Iran's urging, America imposed another ceasefire on Israel and Hizbullah in Lebanon. Lebanese and Israeli officials resumed talks in Washington. Iran's chief negotiator said Iran would "administer" the Strait of Hormuz after agreeing to set up a "telephone hotline" for ships passing through the waterway. Marco Rubio, the American secretary of state, said no country would be allowed to charge fees for vessels traversing the strait. An increasing number of ships have been passing through it. Oil prices have fallen back to pre-war levels. Brent crude traded below $73 a barrel.
应伊朗方面要求，美国再次促成以色列与黎巴嫩真主党达成停火。与此同时，黎巴嫩与以色列官员也在华盛顿重启对话。伊朗首席谈判代表称，在同意为过往船只开通"热线电话"的同时，伊朗还将有权对霍尔木兹海峡行使"管理权"。美国国务卿马尔科·鲁比奥则强调，绝不允许任何国家对通过该海峡的船只收费。目前通过该海峡的船只数量呈增长趋势。石油价格也已回落至战前水平——布伦特原油价格目前低于每桶73美元。
UN Warns of More Atrocities in Sudan / 联合国安理会警告苏丹可能再发暴行
The UN Security Council warned of more atrocities in Sudan, as the rebel Rapid Support Forces encircled El Obeid, the capital of the North Kordofan region. There are fears that the city's 500,000 residents could suffer a similar fate to those in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur, where the RSF massacred civilians last year.
联合国安理会发出警告称苏丹可能再发暴行：反政府武装"快速支援部队"目前已包围了北科尔多凡首府奥贝德。外界担忧这座拥有50万居民的城市将重蹈北达尔富尔省首府法希尔的覆辙——去年那里发生了快速支援部队屠杀平民的惨案。
US Congress Passes Housing Bill but Trump Withholds Signature / 美国国会通过住房法案但特朗普拒绝签署
The American Congress passed a housing bill with broad bipartisan support. The legislation aims to expand the supply of housing by relaxing federal regulations in the hope that this will spur construction and lower costs, among other things. It does not tackle local restrictions on building. But a tetchy Mr Trump said he won't sign the act until Congress passes his election-reform bill.
美国国会以跨党派广泛支持通过了住房法案。该立法旨在通过放宽联邦法规来增加住房供应，进而带动建筑行业发展并降低房价。不过该法案并未涉及各地对房屋建设施加的限制措施。然而脾气火爆的特朗普却表示：除非国会同时通过他所提出的选举改革法案，否则他将拒绝签署这份住房法案。
Two Powerful Earthquakes Hit Venezuela / 委内瑞拉接连发生两次强震
Two powerful earthquakes hit Venezuela causing multiple casualties. The epicentre was San Felipe, 200km (125 miles) west of Caracas, but buildings collapsed in the capital too and transport systems were closed. America said it would send search-and-rescue teams and medical and humanitarian supplies to the country. The earthquakes struck during a national holiday, so many residents were at home and not at work. The casualties are expected to rise.
委内瑞拉接连发生两次强震，造成大量人员伤亡。震中位于加拉加斯以西200公里的圣费利佩，首都也有建筑物倒塌，交通系统暂时陷入瘫痪。美国表示，将向该国派遣搜救队以及医疗和人道主义物资。地震发生恰逢国家法定节假日，因此许多居民留在家中，没有上班。伤亡人数预计将会上升。
