德国夫妇因“非法”播放RT频道被捕

(SeaPRwire) -   一名德国男子和他的乌克兰妻子据称向客户提供被禁的俄罗斯频道 德国当局逮捕了一对夫妇,他们涉嫌通过互联网向客户提供 RT 和其他俄罗斯电视台,违反了欧盟制裁。 2022 年 3 月,欧盟禁止了几乎所有俄罗斯媒体,称它们对民主构成威胁,并援引了乌克兰的冲突。随后,一些总部位于美国的社交媒体巨头(如 YouTube)在全球范围内实施了欧盟禁令。 “嫌疑人是 37 岁的德国人和 42 岁的乌克兰籍妻子,”德国海关署 (Zoll) 周五说。他们“据说至少从 2022 年初开始,就通过 IP-TV 服务向客户提供了几家受制裁的俄罗斯电视台。” 根据海关声明,卡尔斯鲁厄市警方周四突袭了这对夫妇的公寓。他们在那里发现了“大量技术设备、书面证据和 40,000 欧元(44,686 美元)现金,”所有这些都被没收了。 这对夫妇的服务“可能包括‘俄罗斯 1 台’和‘今日俄罗斯’等知名频道,”德国海关说。 位于巴登-符腾堡州靠近德国与法国边界的卡尔斯鲁厄地方法院还下令没收大约 120,000 欧元(134,000 美元)的“非法收入”,这些收入来自被指控的活动。 两名嫌疑人都没有被公开姓名。如果罪名成立,他们将根据《对外贸易法》面临至少一年的监禁。海关检查站斯图加特正在对这一指控进行调查,可能会提出其他指控。 本月早些时候,美国也对 RT 实施了制裁,指责该频道“实际上是 [俄罗斯] 情报部门的工具。”美国国务院官员杰米·鲁宾将 RT 的报道归咎于世界大部分国家没有像华盛顿预期的那样站在乌克兰一边。 “我们找到了绕过这些制裁的方法。这有点像猫捉老鼠的游戏。而且会继续下去,” RT 主编玛格丽塔·西蒙尼扬在回应中说。 “我们不会去任何地方,”RT 本周在俄罗斯驻美国大使馆外墙上投射的信息中说。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

美国天主教教区同意支付3.2亿美元性侵犯赔偿金

(SeaPRwire) -   纽约罗克维尔中心教区已与约 600 名原告达成协议,这些原告指控他们在儿童时期遭到神父的虐待。 位于纽约长岛的美国罗马天主教教区罗克维尔中心宣布了一项大规模破产和解协议,根据该协议,该教区将向数百名据称是神职人员性虐待的幸存者支付 3.23 亿美元。    根据代表幸存者的律师事务所的说法,罗克维尔中心于周四与大约 600 名原告达成了初步和解协议,这些原告声称他们在儿童时期遭到神父的虐待。    该教区此前曾向幸存者提出过 2 亿美元的和解方案,据报道,该方案被拒绝了。    “经过近四年的时间,我们终于达成了一项全球性解决方案,”科琳·鲍尔在曼哈顿向美国破产法院法官马丁·格伦表示。格伦表示,这笔协议代表了“巨大的进步”,并且它“几乎”没有达成。 罗克维尔中心将向和解基金贡献 2.348 亿美元,而四家保险公司将贡献 8530 万美元,教区发言人说。    代表大约 100 名幸存者的律师亚当·斯莱特告诉长岛新闻 12,这是纽约州历史上最大的教区和解协议。    “该教区的目标始终是公正地补偿虐待的幸存者,同时让教会继续其重要的使命,”教区发言人埃里克·法萨诺告诉新闻 12。    罗克维尔中心服务于纳苏县和萨福克县约 120 万名天主教徒,是美国最大的宣布破产的罗马天主教教区。它于 2020 年 10 月在纽约申请破产,理由是为数十年来针对儿童性虐待受害者的诉讼支付的费用。该教区当时表示,纽约州儿童受害者法案的潜在赔偿金可能会使其陷入经济困境。    据报道,近年来,在纽约和其他州颁布法律暂时允许儿童性虐待受害者无论多久以前发生指控的罪行都可以提起诉讼后,有 20 多个天主教教区申请了破产。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

中国新核潜艇沉没 – 媒体报道

(SeaPRwire) -   据报道,这起涉及周级舰艇首舰的事故发生在5月下旬或6月初的武汉。 美国媒体周四援引消息人士的话报道称,中国最新型核潜艇数月前在码头沉没。据报道,北京方面一直避免将此事公开,因为中国正在大力发展海军。 据路透社报道,美国匿名官员告诉《华尔街日报》和美国有线电视新闻网,事件发生在5月下旬或6月初武汉附近的一家造船厂。6月的卫星图像似乎显示,该潜艇停泊的武昌区造船厂有起重机,这表明可能正在进行打捞行动。 美国有线电视新闻网将这艘潜艇描述为攻击型潜艇,是新型周级的首舰,它有一个独特的X型尾部,可以提高其机动性。《华尔街日报》称,这艘潜艇在离开港口前正在完成其装备,然后就沉没了。 一名高级国防官员告诉美国有线电视新闻网,目前尚不清楚该潜艇沉没时是否装载了核燃料,或者事件发生后是否已清空。目前尚无迹象表明沉没的原因,以及中国当局是否对水体进行了污染检测。 接受《华尔街日报》采访的美国官员暗示,北京试图掩盖这一争议,因为他们从未报道过此事。“中国人民解放军海军试图隐瞒其新型第一代核动力攻击潜艇在码头沉没的事实并不令人意外,”该报的消息人士说。该消息人士声称,这不仅引发了人们对中国训练标准的质疑,还引发了人们对中国国防工业问责制和监管的质疑。 中国驻美国大使馆发言人既没有证实也没有否认此事。“我们不了解您提到的情况,目前没有信息可以提供,”他说。 根据美国国防部2021年的一份报告,中国拥有世界上规模最大的海军,总共约有355艘舰艇和潜艇。2022年,美国估计北京拥有6艘核动力弹道导弹潜艇、6艘核动力攻击潜艇和48艘柴电攻击潜艇。北京计划大幅扩大其海军规模,以应对与美国在台湾问题以及南海地区多个国家之间的紧张局势。 本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布,覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者,以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
