The House of Representatives presented two articles of impeachment against Donald Trump: that the president abused his power by pressing Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, and that he obstructed Congress by insisting that key witnesses cannot testify. The votes on those charges are expected to be swift and along party lines in the House. Mr Trump could be impeached before Christmas, setting up a trial early next year in the Senate, which will in all likelihood acquit him.
众议院提交了两份针对特朗普的弹劾文件:一份是总统滥用职权，迫使乌克兰挖掘乔·拜登的丑闻；另一份是他坚称关键证人不能作证，从而阻挠国会听证。有关这些指控的投票预计将很快进行，并在众议院按照党派路线进行。特朗普可能会在圣诞节前被弹劾，并于明年初在参议院接受审判，届时他极有可能被无罪释放。
Officials in Jersey City, which lies across the Hudson river from Manhattan, said three people murdered in a kosher market may have been targeted for anti-Semitic reasons.

First-day priorities
初上任的第一把火
Alberto Fernández, a Peronist, took office as Argentina’s president. The economy he inherits from his centre-right predecessor, Mauricio Macri, is in recession and has an inflation rate of more than 50%. In his inauguration address Mr Fernández promised to end the “social catastrophe” of hunger and said Argentina could not pay its foreign creditors unless its economy grows.
庇隆主义者阿尔贝托·费尔南德斯就任阿根廷总统。他从中右翼前任总统毛里西奥·马克里手中接过经济已陷入衰退的国家，该国通胀率超过50%。在其就职演说中，费尔南德斯承诺将结束饥饿带来的“社会灾难”，并表示除非经济增长，否则阿根廷将无法偿还外国债权人的债务。
Genaro García Luna, who was Mexico’s secretary of public security during the presidency of Felipe Calderón, was arrested in Texas.

Honduras’s congress voted to recommend that the president not renew the mandate of MACCIH, a corruption-fighting mission backed by the Organisation of American States. Lawmakers complained that it disclosed names of people under investigation, but most Hondurans back MACCIH, which helped to jail a former first lady.
洪都拉斯国会投票建议总统不要延长反腐败及有罪不罚现象委员会（MACCIH）的任期，这是一个由美洲国家组织支持的反腐败机构。议员们抱怨称，其披露了被调查人员的姓名，但是大多数洪都拉斯人支持该委员会，因为一位前第一夫人就是因此被关押。

Opposition activists claimed that up to 1m people took to the streets in Conakry, the capital of Guinea, to protest against the rule of President Alpha Condé.
