🇨🇳🇺🇸🇬🇧🇦🇺 China's Washington embassy has reacted angrily to the new security pact between the US, UK and Australia saying the countries should "shake off their Cold War mentality and ideological prejudice." On Wednesday, the UK, UK and Australia said they would establish a security partnership for the Indo-Pacific that would involve joint work on Cyber and advanced technologies as well as helping Australia acquire nuclear-powered submarines. US President Joe Biden says the pact is to safeguard "peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific over the long term." But China sees it as a provocative move. "It's clearly setting down markers," ASPI Senior Analyst Malcolm David tells me. "It’s setting down the case that the US won't stand by and allow China to assert dominance over the region." The latest. 👊🏽 @jadynbsham

巴西總統波索納洛（Jair Bolsonaro）昨（10）日就日前威脅最高法院一事發表一封公開信「致國家宣言」，表示自己從未打算攻擊國家司法與任何權力機關，然而最高法院的大法官們仍對波索納洛的態度表達懷疑。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 週二，波索納洛在聖保羅市發起抗議活動，向支持者發表反民主宣言並威脅最高法院大法官莫萊斯（Alexandre Moraes）。波索納洛表示，「莫萊斯已經失去在最高法院繼續審理的最低條件」，更聲稱不會在遵循最高法院的任何裁決。同時，波索納洛也威脅最高法院院長福克斯（Luiz Fux）要管好莫萊斯，否則將咎由自取。然而，波索納洛的言論卻在巴西各界掀起負面回想，政界重新討論彈劾總統，金融市場也發生動盪導致股市大跌。因此，波索納洛在前總統泰梅爾（Michel Temer）的建議和執筆下，發表充滿安撫語氣的公開信，指出他的直言不諱是因一時衝動，並表示「一直都願意和共和國其他權力機關保持對話」。據悉，泰梅爾將公開信完成後，交由波索納洛簽字，也讓波索納洛和莫萊斯通電話。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 對於公開信的內容，最高法院院長福克斯表示是個「好跡象」，但仍須等待波索納洛是否會如實履行承諾。眾議院議長里拉（Arthur Lira）則表示，希望波索納洛的公開信是恢復機關之間談判的機會，以穩定巴西的政治。政治學家柯杜（Claudio Couto）則認為，波索納洛的暫時讓步係基於：減輕啟動彈劾的壓力、避免最高法院就其兒子福拉畢歐（Flavio Bolsonaro）涉嫌挪用顧問薪資一案作出判決以及減少對經濟造成的影響。但也引來波索納洛支持者的不滿，他們認為波索納洛是「叛徒」和「懦夫」。 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 👨🏻‍⚖️莫萊斯負責調查資助和組織反民主機構的行為，更為此下令逮捕數名波索納洛的盟友和支持者。明年，莫萊斯將接任最高法院輪值院長，任期兩年，而最高法院和高等選舉法院目前正在審理5件涉及波索納洛的檢舉案。 ———————————— #巴西 #波索納洛 #公開信 #司法 #民主 #中南美洲 #拉丁美洲 #國際時事 #國際新聞 #國際內世鏡 #brazil #jairbolsonaro #democracy #politics #judiciary #latinamerica #insightintoissues- - 資料來源：中央社、衛報、路透社、Vox、Al Jazeera 圖片來源：路透社 - 🌐補充資料： How pro-Bolsonaro social media reacted to the president’s climbdown（The Brazilian Report）｜https://brazilian.report/liveblog/2021/09/10/pro-bolsonaro-social-media/

🔊 sound on to hear what a proud mom i am! Lol! Today out of nowhere Layla said CowCow while holding on to her cow toy! I was in the kitchen cooking her dinner, i dropped everything (literally, i threw the spoon down instantly) and ran into the room to witness her say it. From the video you'll be able to hear that my excitement only came later because i was soooo pleasantly surprised! Needed a moment to take it all in! Then, when i finally reacted, i think i shocked Layla. Hahahaha! She looked stunned when i OMG so loudly! Im super proud of her. I'm so grateful to be able to witness all her little milestones, no matter how small they are, they mean the world to me. I was never told much about how i was as a child, and when they do, it's usually the negative things. When i knew i was gonna be a mom, i told myself that i will be there to witness her growth, happiness, sadness and everything in between. I want to be able to answer all the questions she ever have about her childhood, i want to tell her stories about her even if she didnt ask. I want her to know that she matters, that i remember and that i was always around. #SSmotherhoodjourney #babyWooLaLa #proudmama #11months3weeks #sheilalovesherlife #motherhood #firsttimemom #lettertobabywoolala
