A gunman opened fire at a synagogue near San Diego, killing a woman. The 19-year-old suspect had posted an anti-Semitic diatribe online shortly beforehand. The Anti-Defamation League recorded a big increase in the harassment of, and assaults on, Jews in America last year.

Joe Biden said he would seek the Democratic nomination for president of the United States. He went to Pennsylvania, where he touted his working-class credentials and played down the kind of identity politics that his rivals espouse. The 76-year-old former vice-president is leading the polls at this early stage.

A court ruled that Michigan’s congressional districts had been drawn by the state legislature to favour Republicans and ordered that they be redrawn in time for the 2020 election. Several courts have ruled that partisan gerrymandering can be unconstitutional.

Spain’s ruling Socialist Party won the most seats in a general election, though it is still well short of a majority. Pedro Sánchez, the prime minister, may try to continue in office as head of a minority government, or cobble together a coalition. There are obstacles to reaching a deal with either Podemos or Ciudadanos, two possible partners. Vox, a nationalist party, entered parliament for the first time.
西班牙执政党社会主义党在大选中领先，但仍远未获得多数席位。西班牙总理佩德罗·桑切斯(Pedro Sanchez)可能会继续担任少数党政府的首脑，或者组建一个联合政府。与“Podemos”（我们可以党）或“Ciudadanos”（公民党）这两个可能的合作伙伴达成协议存在障碍。民族主义政党Vox首次进入议会。
The president of France, Emmanuel Macron, made new promises after long talks with voters. They included tax cuts, tax exemptions for bonuses and a commitment to close the elite civil-service college, ENA. The gilets jaunes protesters seemed unmollified. More than 200 arrests were made in Paris during riots on May Day.
法国总统马克龙在与选民进行了长时间的会谈后做出新的承诺。其中包括减税、免税津贴以及关闭国家行政学院学院ENA的承诺。黄背心的抗议者们似乎还没有平静下来。在“劳动节”骚乱期间，巴黎有200多人被逮捕。
Julian Assange was sentenced by a British court to 50 weeks in prison for jumping bail in 2012, when he took refuge in the Ecuadorean embassy in London.

2012年，朱利安·阿桑奇(Julian Assange)因在保释期逃脱被英国一家法院判处50周监禁，当时他逃至厄瓜多尔驻伦敦大使馆避难。阿桑奇仍面临被引渡到美国的风险，美国方面指控他与其创建的维基解密泄露大量机密文件有关。
Gavin Williamson was sacked as Britain’s defence secretary for leaking information from a national-security meeting that had discussed allowing Huawei to build 5G networks. Theresa May, the prime minister, dismissed him after a speedy inquiry. Mr Williamson denies the allegation and complains of a “kangaroo court”. The new defence secretary is Penny Mordaunt, who wrongly claimed during the Brexit campaign that as an eu member Britain would have no veto if Turkey tried to join the European Union.
英国国防大臣加文·威廉姆森(Gavin Williamson)因泄露国家安全会议的信息被解职，该会议曾讨论允许华为建设5G网络。经过快速调查，英国首相特蕾莎·梅(Theresa May)解雇了他。但威廉姆森否认了“袋鼠法庭”的指控和申诉。新任国防部长佩妮·莫道特曾在英国脱欧运动中有争议地宣称，如果土耳其加入欧盟，英国作为欧盟成员国没有否决权。
