Andy Burnham replaced Sir Keir Starmer as Britain's prime minister, and entered office promising “the biggest changes in the last 40 years”. His initial announcements included scrapping(废除,取消) unpopular proposals for a nationwide digital-ID(数字身份证) scheme, a 20% cut to business property rates, and small measures to ease the cost of living. The big details of his ten-year plan won’t be ready until the autumn. John Healey, who resigned as defence secretary under Sir Keir because of a lack of spending on the armed forces, was Mr Burnham’s surprise choice as chancellor of the exchequer.(约翰·希利因军队开支不足在斯塔默爵士任内辞去国防大臣一职,却被伯纳姆出人意料地任命为财政大臣。) Ed Miliband, a leftist(左翼人士), becomes foreign secretary. Angela Rayner, who was forced to quit(被迫辞职) as housing secretary under Sir Keir for unpaid housing tax, returns to her old job.
安迪·伯纳姆接替基尔·斯塔默爵士成为英国首相,上任时承诺将带来“过去40年来最大的变革”。他的初步宣布包括废除不受欢迎的全国数字身份证计划、削减20%的商业财产税,以及一些缓解生活成本的小措施。其十年计划的具体细节要到秋季才能公布。约翰·希利因军队开支不足在斯塔默爵士任内辞去国防大臣一职,却被伯纳姆出人意料地任命为财政大臣。左翼人士埃德·米利班德出任外交大臣。安吉拉·雷纳因未缴纳住房税被迫在斯塔默爵士任内辞去住房大臣职务,如今重返原职。
On the day that Mr Burnham became prime minister a Russian warship(军舰) carried out a military exercise using live ammunition(实弹) just 74km (46 miles) off the coast of Plymouth in southern England. The Kremlin(克里姆林宫(俄罗斯政府)) insisted the exercise was not meant at all to be a “signal(信号,暗示)” to mark the start of Mr Burnham’s time in office.
就在伯纳姆成为首相的当天,一艘俄罗斯军舰在英格兰南部普利茅斯海岸仅74公里(46英里)处使用实弹进行军事演习。克里姆林宫坚称,这次演习绝非意在向伯纳姆上任发出“信号”。
Volodymyr Zelensky sacked(解雇,开除) General Oleksandr Syrsky as commander-in-chief of Ukraine’s armed forces. General Syrsky is credited with(被认为有……功劳) defending Kyiv during Russia’s invasion in 2022. But protesters had taken to the streets recently demanding his resignation. They also want Mr Zelensky to reinstate Mykhailo Fedorov as defence secretary following his recent ousting(罢免,驱逐) from the government. The new commander-in-chief is General Mykhailo Drapaty, an ally(盟友,支持者) of Mr Fedorov.
弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基解除了奥列克桑德尔·瑟尔斯基将军乌克兰武装部队总司令的职务。瑟尔斯基将军因在2022年俄罗斯入侵期间保卫基辅而受到赞誉。但近期抗议者走上街头要求他辞职。他们还希望泽连斯基恢复米哈伊洛·费多罗夫的国防部长职务,后者最近被逐出政府。新任总司令是米哈伊洛·德拉帕蒂将军,他是费多罗夫的盟友。
