>US starts withdrawal from WHO
美国宣布退出世卫组织
US President Donald Trump has formally started the withdrawal of the US from the World Health Organization (WHO), officials said Tuesday. The withdrawal is effective from July 6, 2021. The US is the largest financial contributor to the WHO. Trump has formally informed UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres that he has started the US pullout, a State Department spokesperson said. Stephane Dujarric, the spokesman for Guterres, confirmed that the US gave its notice. "The US is a party to the World Health Organization Constitution since June 21, 1948. The US' participation in the WHO was accepted by the World Health Assembly with certain conditions set out by the US for its eventual withdrawal from the WHO. The said conditions include giving a one-year notice and fully meeting the payment of assessed financial obligations," said the spokesman. "The secretary-general is in the process of verifying with the WHO whether all the conditions for such withdrawal are met," Dujarric added.

>Students jolted by US rule
全网课留美学生须离境?
International students in US educational institutions will have to leave or will be prohibited from entering the country if their schools move to online-only teaching in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic. US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a new rule on Monday that students on F-1 (academic student) and M-1 (vocational or technical student) visas may not remain in the US if they take a full online-only course load for the fall semester. The US Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools that operate under an online-only course model, and US Customs and Border Protection will not permit such students to enter the country, according to an ICE statement. ICE said students affected by the new policy can transfer to a school with in-person instruction to retain their legal status; otherwise, they will be deemed to be in the US illegally and subject to deportation.
为应对新冠病毒大流行，就读于美国教育机构的国际学生如果所在学校仅提供网课，将不得不离开美国或被禁止入境美国。美国入境和海关执法局7月6日发布新规称，持F-1签证(针对学术课程学生)和M-1签证(针对职业性或技能性课程学生)的留学生如果在2020年秋季学期仅上网课，或将无法留在美国。入境和海关执法局发布的通知称，美国国务院将不会向全部采用网络授课的学校的学生发放签证，美国海关和边境保护局也不会让这些学生进入美国。通知称，受新政影响的留学生可以转学到提供当面授课的学校以维持合法身份，否则将被视作非法居留而被驱逐出境。(中国日报)

>Brazilian president tests positive
巴西总统感染新冠病毒
Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro announced on Tuesday that he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Bolsonaro came down with symptoms on Monday, including a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, cough and headache, leading to a test at the Brazilian Armed Forces Hospital. Bolsonaro canceled planned visits to the states of Bahia and Minas Gerais this week, according to the state news agency Agencia Brasil. The president is considered to be in the high-risk group for COVID-19 due to his age, 65. Bolsonaro campaigned for continued economic activity and often appeared in public without a face mask and disregarded social distancing. Brazil has suffered the second largest COVID-19 outbreak in the world, just after the US. The country's death toll has surpassed 66,000 on Tuesday, with over 1.66 million confirmed cases.

>Italian glacier turns pink
阿尔卑斯山现粉红冰川
A glacier in Italy is turning pink because of algae - a development that will make the ice melt faster, a scientist studying the phenomenon says. Pink snow has appeared at the Presena glacier in northern Italy, said researcher Biagio Di Mauro, of the Institute of Polar Sciences at Italy's National Research Council. While "watermelon snow," as it is sometimes known, is fairly common in the Alps in spring and summer, it has been more marked this year. Mauro believes an algae named Chlamydomonas nivalis is responsible for the change in color. Algal blooms are bad news for the health of the glacier as darker snow absorbs more energy, meaning it melts faster.
近日，意大利一座冰川因藻类变成了粉红色，研究这一现象的专家表示，这种发展变化将使冰川融化得更快。意大利国家研究委员会极地科学研究所研究员比亚吉奥·迪·莫罗称，意大利北部普勒塞纳冰川上出现粉红色的雪。这种粉红色的雪有时也被称为"西瓜雪"，在阿尔卑斯的春季和夏季相当常见，但今年这种现象更为显著。莫罗认为名为"雪衣藻"的藻类是造成冰川变色的原因。藻类大量繁殖对冰川的健康状况是个坏消息，因为深色的雪会吸收更多能量，这意味着冰雪会融化得更快。(美国有线电视新闻网)
