* 颶風亨利在美國東北部帶來停電和創紀錄的降雨
預計風暴將於周一晚上繼續經過美國東岸的地區·並降下傾盆大雨,多個州已進行洪水監測。
美國國家氣象局氣象學家表示,週六和周日光紐約市的降雨量為 7.04 英寸,是自 2011 年颶風艾琳以來最大的兩天降雨量。
週日,颶風亨利以狂風和暴雨襲擊美國東北部,導致羅德島沿海大部分地區停電,康州被迫疏散,紐澤西州數十名駕車者受困,紐約市的降雨量記錄也破紀錄。
這場熱帶氣旋在登陸羅德島數小時前,從颶風降級,使該地區免於最嚴重的影響,並在向北移動時迅速減弱。周日下午亨利颶風的高峰期,風暴使從紐澤西州到緬因州的 140,000 多戶家庭斷電。
這場風暴——繼上個月艾爾莎之後,也是本季第二次襲擊美國東北部的颶風——促使羅德島普羅維登斯和麻州新貝德福德關閉其港口的颶風閘門。這是自 2012 年的桑迪颶風以來。他們第一次為風暴關閉颶風閘門。
長島的國家氣象局氣象學家多米尼克·拉蒙尼 (Dominic Ramunni) 表示,預計到週一晚上,該地區仍將繼續傾盆大雨——再下雨 3 英寸。在紐約、紐澤西、康乃迪克、羅德島、麻州、佛蒙特和新罕布什爾州部分地區,洪水警報將一直持續到週一晚上。週日晚上,它已降級為熱帶低氣壓。

* 拜登總統的國家安全顧問周日警告,伊斯蘭國發動恐怖襲擊的威脅對政府從喀布爾國際機場撤離數千名美國人和阿富汗盟友構成嚴重威脅。
“威脅是真實的。它是急性的。它是持久的。國家安全顧問蘇利文在 CNN 的“國情咨文”節目中說,這是我們撤離計劃中的每一個人都關注的問題。
官員們說,他的評論是迄今為止關於情報和軍事官員私下向拜登先生及其高級幕僚簡報情勢中最緊迫的發言。
蘇利文先生和其他美國高級軍事或情報官員,都未提供有關威脅或其具體性的詳細來源。然而,現任和前任官員表示,ISIS可攻擊的範圍從對哈米德卡爾扎伊國際機場起飛或降落的運輸機發動導彈襲擊,到載有炸彈的卡車或滲透至機場外人群自殺式炸彈式攻擊,皆有可能。

* 為了回答紐約時報讀者如何幫助世界各地阿富汗難民,列出一些在美國、加拿大和英國接受阿富汗安置計劃的註冊慈善機構、組織和基金。
《美國》
人權第一:正在尋求無償律師幫助阿富汗撤離人員。
國際難民援助項目:正在募集捐款,為流離失所的阿富汗人提供法律服務。
路德會移民和難民服務中心:志工可在其官方網站註冊頁面,看到如何協助阿富汗難民從機場出發、入住公寓或提供膳食。
信守我們的承諾:總部位於紐約州羅徹斯特,他們未來將提供阿富汗難民安置服務,包括技能培訓和住宿。
自 1984 年以來一直在阿富汗開展業務的國際醫療隊:在該國提供醫療培訓和服務,並正在為其緊急救濟基金募集捐款。
國際救援委員會的目標是籌集 1000 萬美元,用於在阿富汗“提供救生援助”。該組織的當地分會也在尋找志工,以幫助持阿富汗特殊移民簽證抵達美國的人,尋找工作和住房。
英聯邦天主教慈善機構:與社區組織合作,正在弗吉尼亞州李堡為來自阿富汗的特殊移民簽證持有人提供重新安置服務和兒童保育服務。
擁有大量阿富汗移民的加州佛里蒙特市正在收集捐款,以支持當地慈善機構為新阿富汗移民提供必需品。
位於亞特蘭大的非營利組織 New American Pathways 正在尋找志工支持阿富汗難民。
《加拿大》
加拿大政府要求希望捐贈物品(包括衣服、家具或金錢)或志工服務的公民發送電子郵件至 afghaniresettlement@ccislive.ca,以便與慈善安置機構取得聯繫。
一些慈善機構已經為阿富汗的家庭開展了緊急籌款活動,包括加拿大兒童基金會、加拿大伊斯蘭救濟會和退伍軍人網站,該網站表示將利用捐款支持該國的口譯員等待撤離。
《英國》
Mercy Corps 正在幫助阿富汗的流離失所家庭獲得清潔水和其他必需品。

* 亨利颶風上週一在美國東海岸附近形成,在達到颶風強度後,它在周日向西北緩慢移動穿過羅德島前減弱,但它仍帶來大雨和每小時 40 英里的風。

* 去年冠狀病毒出現時,沒有人準備好如此長時間地、危險的進入我們日常生活的各方面。大流行迫使美國人在過去 18 個月的每一天都在生死攸關的選擇中掙扎——而且看不到盡頭。
對病毒的科學理解,似乎每小時都在變化。該病毒僅通過密切接觸或在受污染的表面上即可傳播,甚至通過空氣傳播。病毒初期變異緩慢,但隨後以一系列危險的新形式變種病毒出現。
美國人仍有許多人堅持不需要戴口罩。
在這場磨難中,我們腳下的日子從未顯得如此不確定。
就在過去一周,美國聯邦衛生官員宣布他們將在未來幾個月內開始向所有美國人提供第三劑加強疫苗注射。幾週前,這些官員向公眾保證,疫苗對病毒的 Delta 變體具有很強的抵抗力,並且不需要加強劑。
預計最早在周一,美國食品和藥物管理局FDA將正式批准輝瑞-BioNTech 疫苗,該疫苗已提供給數百萬美國人。
一些反對者認為,該疫苗尚未得到正式批准,但卻以某種方式廣泛分發,這一點令人懷疑。對他們來說,“緊急授權”似乎永遠不夠。不能保證免疫保護力。
美國人本來生活在頂尖科學中,它實時展開研究。這個過程一直是流動的,不可預測的。但它很少以這種速度移動,讓公民一到前門就面臨研究結果。
探望生病的父母是否太危險?
親自上學的好處是否大於對孩子造成感染的可能性?
家庭聚會會變成超級傳播者的活動嗎?
即使對於習慣科學可變性的研究人員、公共衛生官員和記者來說,與反復無常的病毒敵人共處也令人不安。
他們也經常為什麼是保護自己和親人安全的最佳方式而苦惱不安。
但對於不熟悉科學且經常質疑科學又沮喪的美國人來說,公共衛生官員有時似乎在移動目標和翻轉,或誤導,他們甚至認為國家撒謊。
冷泉港實驗室出版社助理主任兼兩個熱門網站 bioRxiv 和 medRxiv 的聯合創始人Richard Sever說,大多數時候,科學家們“以一種非常漸進的方式向前推進”,科學家們在這些網站上發布了新的研究成果。
“人們走下坡路是死胡同,很多時候你不知道自己不知道什麼。”
生物學和醫學要求特別高的領域。過去許多重要的想法在被接受之前要經過數年甚至數十年的評估。但現在,我們沒有時間。

Many refugee children in Lebanon go without formal education and Syrian aid has become an economic industry. Not all hope is lost, however. There are still thousands of people concerned with the crisis and their help comes in the form of small acts of kindness. For the children of one camp, escape has come in the form of a piano.

When I came over to Bulgaria, I didn't know a single Vietnamese person. The Vietnamese in Bulgaria originally came as students or as contracted workers since after the Vietnam War. Vietnamese people usually agreed to four or five year contracts to work in factories as a labor exchange system. When the Soviet Union collapsed and communism was slowly transitioning to capitalism, most Vietnamese people went back to Vietnam. Here are the ones who stayed behind and build different lives for themselves. This is another Vietnamese diaspora narrative that is seldom told. As most emigration experiences focuses on the plight of the refugees from the south. In an upcoming Belarus Vietnamese episode we'll dive deeper into individual stories. Thank you for watching this video!
