New York City Declares Public Health Emergency In the Face of an Intensifying Measles Outbreak
面对日益严重的麻疹疫情,纽约市宣布公共卫生紧急状态

New York City officials on Tuesday ordered residents at the center of an ongoing measles outbreak to get vaccinated or face fines up to $1,000, in the latest dramatic move by officials attempting to stop measles outbreaks that are spreading across the country.

纽约市官员周二命令正在持续爆发麻疹疫情的居民接种疫苗,否则将面临高达1000美元的罚款,这是官员们试图阻止麻疹疫情在全国蔓延的最新戏剧性举措。

Mayor Bill de Blasio, along with Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot, announced a public health emergency related to the measles outbreak at a press conference Tuesday. “This is an unusual action, and it’s because of the sheer extent of the crisis,” de Blasio said. There have been 285 confirmed cases of measles since October 2018. The majority of cases have been among members of Brooklyn’s Orthodox Jewish community, primarily in parts of Brooklyn’s Williamsburg and Borough Park neighborhoods.

市长比尔·白思豪和卫生专员奥克西里斯·巴伯特博士在星期二的新闻发布会上宣布了与麻疹爆发有关的公共卫生紧急状况。白思豪表示:"这是一次不同寻常的行动,原因在于危机的严重程度。"自2018年10月以来,已有285例麻疹确诊病例。大多数病例发生在布鲁克林的正统犹太教社区,主要发生在布鲁克林的威廉斯堡和 Borough Park 社区的部分地区。

As part of the emergency order, all residents of four Williamsburg zip codes — 11205, 11206, 11211 and 11249 — must be vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella if they are not already. Those found to be in violation of the order could face up to a $1,000 fine, officials said.

作为紧急命令的一部分,威廉斯堡四个地区(11205、11206、11211和11249)的所有居民如果尚未接种麻疹、腮腺炎和风疹疫苗,就必须接种疫苗。官员们说,那些被发现违反命令的人可能面临高达1000美元的罚款。

Roughly 1,800 children in Williamsburg remain unvaccinated, Barbot said during the press conference. She added that the city will help unprotected individuals secure affordable and accessible vaccination, and emphasized that vaccination is safe and effective.

Barbot 在新闻发布会上说,威廉斯堡仍有大约1800名儿童没有接种疫苗。她补充说,该市将帮助未受保护的个人获得负担得起和可获得的疫苗接种,并强调疫苗接种是安全和有效的。

Brexit: Donald Tusk suggests 'flexible' delay of up to a year
英国脱欧: 唐纳德·图斯克建议"灵活"推迟一年

European Council president Donald Tusk says the EU should consider offering the UK a "flexible" delay to Brexit of up to a year, with the option of leaving earlier if a deal is ratified.

欧盟理事会主席唐纳德•图斯克(Donald Tusk)表示,欧盟应考虑向英国提供一个"灵活"的退欧延期时间,最长可达一年。如果退欧协议得到批准,英国可以选择提前退欧。

He said there was "little reason to believe" a Brexit deal would be approved by the extension deadline UK PM Theresa May has requested - 30 June.

他说,"几乎没有理由相信"英国脱欧协议会在英国首相特丽莎 · 梅提出的延期截止日期——6月30日之前获得批准。

Writing to EU leaders, he said any delay should have conditions attached.

他在写给欧盟领导人的信中表示,任何拖延都应附带条件。

It is up to EU members to vote on the proposals at a summit on Wednesday.

这取决于欧盟成员国在周三的峰会上对这些提议进行表决。

A draft EU document circulated to diplomats ahead of the emergency summit also proposes an extension but leaves the date of the proposed new deadline blank.

在紧急峰会之前分发给各国外交官的欧盟文件草案也提议延期,但对拟议的新截止日期留有空白。

里约热内卢4小时内连续一个月的降雨,造成至少10人死亡

Heavy rains killed at least 10 people and left a trail of destruction in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday, raising questions about the city's preparedness to deal with recurring extreme weather.

周二,里约热内卢发生暴雨,造成至少10人死亡,一连串破坏,引发了人们对该市应对反复出现的极端天气的准备情况的质疑。

Torrents of water gushed down streets, sweeping up cars and uprooting trees after rains that began around rush hour Monday evening. Rains slowly weakened by Tuesday evening, but Mayor Marcelo Crivella said the city was still in "crisis" mode, the highest of three levels.

从周一晚上高峰时段开始的大雨过后,洪水顺着街道奔涌而下,汽车被冲走,树木被连根拔起。 到周二晚间,降雨量逐渐减弱,但市长马塞洛 · 克里维拉表示,该市仍处于"危机"状态,是三层中降雨量最大的一层。

Schools were closed and people were urged to avoid non-essential traffic until further notice.

Israelis go to polls in virtual referendum on Netanyahu
以色列就内塔尼亚胡举行全民公投

JERUSALEM (Reuters) — Israelis began voting in an election on Tuesday that could hand conservative Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a record fifth term or see him dethroned by an ex-general who has pledged clean government and social cohesion.

路透社 / 耶路撒冷---- 以色列人周二开始投票,这次选举可能会让保守派总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡连任五届,或者让他被一位承诺廉洁政府和社会凝聚力的前将军赶下台。

Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. across the country and close at 10 p.m. But the victor may not be decided immediately. No party has ever won an outright majority in the 120-seat parliament, meaning days or even weeks of coalition negotiations will lie ahead.

全国各地的投票站早上7点开门,晚上10点关门。 但是胜利者可能不会马上决定。 迄今为止,还没有一个政党在拥有120个席位的议会中赢得绝对多数席位,这意味着未来几天甚至几周的联合谈判将会展开。

Dubbed “King Bibi,” Netanyahu has rallied a rightist camp hardened against the Palestinians and played up Israeli foreign policy boons that are the fruit of his ties with the Trump administration.

内塔尼亚胡被称为"比比国王",他已经召集了一个更加反对巴勒斯坦的右翼阵营,并大肆宣扬以色列的外交政策好处,这些好处是他与特朗普政府关系的成果。
