荆轲刺秦王

新华社北京8月22日电　美国国防部21日以“不服从命令”为由解雇军方报纸《星条旗报》总编辑埃里克·斯莱文、发行人马克斯·莱德勒，以及该报资深中东事务记者拉拉·科尔特。

B | 就在不久前，该报报道了“林肯”号航空母舰上工作条件恶劣、水兵精神崩溃的情况，引发美国国内对特朗普政府迟迟不能结束伊朗战事的新一轮批评。    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has told leaders from the G-7 states — the US, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Germany and Japan — that New Delhi would “continue” to take steps to ensure its “energy security”, amid sustained pressure by the Western allies to pressure the South Asian nation to scale down Russian energy imports.,“The Prime Minister did also mention that the energy security has become a very challenging issue in the wake of [the Ukraine crisis],” India’s foreign secretary Vinay Mohan Kwatra said at a special briefing in Munich late on Monday evening, after Modi concluded his participation in the G-7 Summit in the Bavarian resort of Schloss Elmau.,“But India would continue to do what it thinks is best in the interest of our own energy security when it comes to the question of global oil trade. I think our position, which Prime Minister articulated during the G7 Summit, was well understood,” the Indian foreign secretary remarked.,Five partner countries from the ‘Global South’, namely Argentina, India, Indonesia, South Africa and Senegal, were also invited to this year’s G-7 meeting amid concerns that the fallout of the Ukraine crisis had left many developing nations vulnerable.,“Prime Minister (Modi) also very strongly put forward, and I think we are fairly an important player in that aspect, of course, it’s the consequence which also we face which is the knockdown effect of the Russia-Ukraine conflict,” said Kwatra.,“Whether it is in terms of the crisis of food security, especially in the vulnerable countries, whether it is the challenge of fertilizer security, which all of us are facing, or also relating to the issues relating to energy security,” he added.,Russian Energy Supplies to India Have Increased 'Dozens of Times', Russian Ambassador SaysYesterday, 15:02 GMT,Crude oil prices have been at their highest level since the 2008 global financial crisis in the wake of the US and European Union (EU)-led push to phase out Russian crude supplies from the international market in retaliation for Moscow’s special military operation in Ukraine.,During his two interventions at the G-7 Leaders’ meeting on Monday, the Indian Prime Minister called upon the Western economies to understand the need for “energy security” for rich and poor countries alike.,“All of you will also agree with this that energy access should not be the privilege of the rich only- a poor family also has the same rights on energy. And today when energy costs are sky-high due to geopolitical tensions, it is more important to remember this thing,” the Indian Prime Minister stated, as per the transcript of his remarks released by the foreign ministry.,The remarks on “energy security” by the Indian Prime Minister come against the backdrop of US, EU and other Western allies urging New Delhi to draw down its reliance on Russian energy imports.,In the lead-up to the summit, the White House indicated that the question of Russian oil imports would figure in the discussions at the G-7 Summit.,Last week, National Security Council (NSC) Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby said that President Biden would want India to “participate” in efforts to reduce Russian oil purchases.,A G-7 statement on ‘Support for Ukraine’ said that the Western allies would “continue to explore new ways to isolate Russia from participating in the global market and crack down on evasion”.,Blockage of Russian Bond Payments to Erode Dollar Dominance, French Economist SaysYesterday, 15:29 GMT,“We will further reduce Russia’s export revenues by taking appropriate steps to further reduce dependency on Russian energy,” it read.,European Council chief Charles Michel said last month that the 27-nation bloc would ban Russian crude imports by the end of this year. As of last year, the European Union (EU) sourced around 23 percent of its oil from Russia, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).,Crude imports have been exempted from six rounds of economic sanctions imposed by the US and its allies against Russia since the Ukraine crisis.。

C | 莱德勒自2007年起担任这一职务，三天前刚刚通过电子邮件宣布自己将于9月底退休。

D | 他当时写道，决定退休是因为他意识到自己对该报“价值和使命的理解”与国防部的新规划存在“根本性差异”。《星条旗报》创立于美国南北战争时期，从第二次世界大战以来不间断发行，向驻扎世界各地的美军提供新闻报道。该报部分运营资金由美国国防部提供，但其编辑团队长期保持“独立性”。

E | 《星条旗报》本月11日发表一篇报道，依据对多名“林肯”号现役水兵及其亲属的采访以及社交媒体信息，称该航母多名水兵有过自杀想法。为保护隐私，报道未公开受访者姓名。

F | “林肯”号因伊朗战事部署在中东，迄今已在海上航行8个多月，其间连续250天不靠港。报道说，部署期多次延长且不知何时结束，生活条件糟糕，舰上约5000名水兵士气低落，多人精神崩溃。

G | 该报道发出后，多家媒体跟进报道。美军中央司令部13日证实，“林肯”号上一名水兵3日坠海，已被救起。美国总统特朗普14日证实，“林肯”号将被替换。美军中央司令部20日说，替换“林肯”号的“华盛顿”号航母打击群已于19日抵达中央司令部辖区，正按预定部署在中东地区执行任务。在美国国防部长赫格塞思领导下，五角大楼试图收紧对《星条旗报》的控制。今年早些时候，国防部发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示，五角大楼将调整《星条旗报》的报道内容，消除“觉醒文化”的干扰，因为那会减弱士气。

H | “觉醒文化”指反对种族和性别歧视及其他不公正现象的左翼政治运动，具有广泛政治和社会意涵，也是美国民主、共和两党“文化战”的焦点。（郭倩）
