Alexei Navalny, Russia’s most prominent opposition leader and anti-corruption activist, fell into a coma after being poisoned. He was held for two days in a Russian hospital, before being released and flown to Germany, where doctors said they thought the poison included cholinesterase inhibitors, an ingredient in some Russian-made military toxins. Kremlin flacks said perhaps he was suffering from low blood sugar. Germany has offered him asylum.
俄罗斯最著名的反对派领袖、反腐活动人士阿列克谢·纳瓦尔尼(Alexei Navalny)在中毒后陷入昏迷。他在一家俄罗斯医院被看守了两天，之后被释放并飞往德国就医。德国的医生表示，他们认为毒药中含有胆碱酯酶抑制剂，是一种俄罗斯制造的一些军用毒剂的成分。克里姆林宫发言人称，纳瓦尔尼可能患有低血糖。德国已向他提供庇护。
Hundreds of thousands of protesters continued to demand the resignation of Alexander Lukashenko, Belarus’s dictator, despite facing arrest and torture. Mr Lukashenko flew by helicopter to a secure location and brandished an AK-47 rifle. Western countries have not recognised a rigged election on August 9th that Mr Lukashenko “won”.
尽管面临逮捕和酷刑，数十万抗议者仍继续要求白俄罗斯独裁者亚历山大·卢卡申科(Alexander Lukashenko)辞职。卢卡申科手持一把AK-47步枪，乘直升机抵达一处安全的地点。西方国家并不认可卢卡申科在8月9日的舞弊选举中的“胜利”。

The UN Security Council blocked America’s effort to restore UN sanctions on Iran, which were lifted as part of a nuclear deal that America ditched in 2018.

Meanwhile, Iran agreed to grant inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency access to two nuclear sites after a months-long stand-off.
联合国安理会阻止了美国恢复联合国对伊朗制裁的企图，美国在2018年退出核协议时就失去了这一权利。安理会轮值主席表示，许多成员国不同意美国的立场。与此同时，在长达数月的对峙之后，伊朗同意允许国际原子能机构的巡视人员进入两处核设施巡查。
