中新网9月14日电 综合英国广播公司(BBC)、天空新闻网、《每日电讯报》等外媒当地时间9月13日报道,美国驻英国大使馆一名雇员在被控持有儿童不雅影像后,于8月在其位于英国伦敦的公寓内被美方人员逮捕,并在英方不知情的情况被遣送出境。

美方在伦敦“带走”涉事雇员

据英国广播公司(BBC)、天空新闻网、《每日电讯报》报道,这名工作人员在美国驻英国大使馆工作,居住在伦敦南部地区。此前,美国方面因一起涉及美国境内人员的调查,怀疑相关儿童不雅影像与这名使馆工作人员有关。

报道援引消息人士称,美方人员于8月25日在其住所采取行动,随后将其带离英国并送回美国。

英国《泰晤士报》称,英国警方获悉美方正在开展一项涉及伦敦、涉嫌儿童不雅影像的调查。英国警方表示:“8月25日,美国方面告知我们,他们正在开展一项涉及伦敦、涉嫌儿童不雅影像的调查。我们将继续就此事与其保持联系。”

不过,英国警方是否在行动前获知具体抓捕安排,以及是否曾有机会对涉事人员进行问询,英媒报道并不完全一致。英国《太阳报》称,英国警方是在人员被带离后才获悉行动;而《泰晤士报》援引消息人士称,英方在行动开始前已被告知调查情况。

“外交豁免”能否成为“带走”的理由?

英媒分析称,事件争议的焦点,在于美方人员在英国采取行动并将涉事人员带回美国的做法。

《泰晤士报》称,涉事人员的外交豁免若要被暂停,需要美国政府高层批准。美方决定将其送回美国,是为了加快调查进程。美国驻英国大使馆则表示,正在配合英国执法部门开展调查。

报道称,英国多名大臣已就此事与美国大使馆取得联系。英国政界人士认为,美方此举可能会进一步加剧伦敦和华盛顿之间的紧张关系。

英国保守党议员尼克·提莫西在致司法大臣亚历克斯·诺里斯的信中表示,他担心美国的行动代表着“掩盖真相”,该名雇员可能在英国犯下了罪行,应该在英国法庭接受审判。另一名保守党议员表示,美国的行为“极其荒谬”、“完全不可接受”。

对于上述事件,英国政府发言人表示,“我们希望所有在英国的外国外交官遵守我们的法律,正如我们期望所有英国外交官在海外任职期间要遵守当地法律一样。”

英方还称,鉴于美方调查仍在进行中,现阶段不宜作进一步评论。

目前,案件仍在调查之中。

Trump responds to Chinese satellite imaging report: China and the United States spy on each other

Trump responded to reports that China's satellite images were suspected of being involved in Iran's attack on the US military, saying that both China and the United States are monitoring each other. U.S. officials believe that the high-resolution satellite imagery provided by Chinese entities is related to the attack on a Jordanian base in July that killed three U.S. troops, but there is currently no evidence that the Chinese government was directly involved in the attack. "They say China spies on us, and I say you're right, we spied on them," Trump said on Air Force One, noting that China "basically does the same thing we do." The US-China summit is expected to be held on September 24, but China has not officially confirmed it.

Pinglu Canal: an engineering miracle and ecological symbiosis that connects the river to the sea

The Pinglu Canal is 134.2 kilometers long, starting from the mouth of Pingtang River in Hengzhou City and ending at Qinzhou Bay. It is the first large-scale canal connecting the river and the sea since the founding of New China. The project includes three cascade hubs, namely Madao, Qishi and Qingnian. Among them, Madao hub is the world’s largest inland river provincial water lock. The construction of the canal shortened the inland navigation distance from Nanning to Qinzhou by more than 560 kilometers. An ecological fishway was designed at the Youth Hub to protect the migration of local fish, embodying the concept of symbiosis between project development and nature.

Argentine Defense Minister Presti said that the U.S. government supports the peaceful resolution of the Falklands sovereignty dispute through diplomatic means and is not biased toward Argentina or the United Kingdom. Trump has said he may reconsider the U.S. position in the dispute and said it could resolve the matter. The Argentine government has recently taken a tough stance, advocating the use of diplomatic, economic and legal means to safeguard sovereignty, and will impose sanctions on foreign companies that exploit resources in disputed waters.
