①特朗普律师迈克尔·科恩即将出庭

曼哈顿联邦检察官的发言人在电邮中称，曾为美国总统唐纳德·特朗普长期担任私人律师的迈克尔·科恩将于周二16:00在曼哈顿一座联邦法院出庭。

ABC News在这份声明发布不久前报道称，科恩已与检方初步达成认罪协议。

根据CNBC播放的画面，科恩在周二下午进入了联邦调查局纽约办公室。他曾为特朗普推动在莫斯科的房地产交易，代表老板安排支付封口费，并利用自己与特朗普的关系，从一些全球最大公司敛财数以百万美元计。

目前尚不清楚科恩的认罪协议是否包含配合联邦官员工作这一点。若有任何诸如此类的协议，调查人员就可能有机会详细了解特朗普在商业和竞选方面的交易，迟早会对特朗普构成威胁。

科恩的律师没有立即置评。

对科恩的调查已开展数月有余，此前他被揭露于2016年大选开始数周前成立了一家空壳公司，用来向威胁要公开指控特朗普大约10年前与自己有染的一名艳星付封口费。在收到特别检察官穆勒的建议后，联邦调查局特工于4月份突击搜查了科恩在曼哈顿的住所和办公室。




②微软阻止了俄黑客对美政治机构的入侵

微软公司指出，与俄罗斯政府有关的黑客上周试图入侵美国两个右翼智库网站，但该行动遭微软挫败。

微软说，试图入侵之举，表明俄方正在扩大对美国11月中期选举的攻击。但俄罗斯当局否认微软的指控。

国际文传电讯社引述俄罗斯一不具名外交消息人士称，微软是在“玩弄政治把戏”。

他说：“（美国中期）选举还没举行，莫须有的指控却已经开始了。”




③英国脱欧谈判进入最后阶段
（无相关中文新闻）

London and Brussels will start rolling Brexit negotiations in the final phase of talks as fears grow that Britain could leave the European Union next year without a deal, EU negotiator Michel Barnier said Tuesday.

Barnier and his British counterpart Dominic Raab said after talks in Brussels that key differences remained and it was important to "intensify" the pace of negotiations.

"The negotiations are now entering the final stage. We have agreed that the EU and the UK will negotiate continuously from now on," Barnier said after meeting the UK's Brexit minister Dominic Raab in Brussels.

"Dominic and I will meet regularly to take stock and move the negotiations forward."

The Brexit talks have become stuck on fundamental issues including how to avoid a hard border between EU member Ireland and the British province of Northern Ireland after Britain leaves the EU's single market, and on the future trading relationship.

The two sides have just a few months before an agreement on Britain's divorce from the European Union -- set for March 29, 2019 -- must be forged in principle by October or November.

Raab -- whose predecessor David Davis resigned in July over differences with Prime Minister Theresa May's negotiating strategy -- said that he would be back in Brussels next week for further talks.

"We have agreed that we need to step up the intensity of the negotiations," he added.

"If we have that ambition, that pragmatism, that energy on both sides, I'm confident we can reach a deal in October," he said.




④委内瑞拉启用新货币应对恶性通胀

新华社加拉加斯８月２０日电（记者徐烨　王瑛）委内瑞拉２０日启用新货币，同时委内瑞拉政府宣布一系列经济改革举措，应对恶性通货膨胀，试图令委经济重回正轨。

从２０日起，新货币“主权玻利瓦尔”替代原有货币“强势玻利瓦尔”开始流通，两者兑换比率为１比１０万。委政府发行了最低面值为２主权玻利瓦尔、最高面值为５００主权玻利瓦尔的纸币，以及两种面值的硬币。新纸币与旧纸币将共存一段时间。

虽然２０日银行不营业，但一些市民已可以在自动取款机取出小面值的新货币。

委内瑞拉副总统罗德里格斯当天表示，全国９２％以上的银行平台已经完成技术调整，当天上午全国共完成了４０万笔以主权玻利瓦尔为货币的刷卡交易。为了保证货币改革成功进行，委政府此前宣布２０日为法定假期以确保全国银行系统顺利完成所有技术淮备。

此前，委内瑞拉总统马杜罗还宣布了一系列经济改革举措，包括提高最低工资、提高油价、实施零赤字财政政策、收紧货币发行等。但分析人士普遍对于改革能否抑制通胀存有怀疑。
