Vedení České pirátské strany včetně lídra Ivana Bartoše zareagovalo na neúspěch v krajských a senátních volbách demisí. Výběr nového předsednictva by se měl uskutečnit 9. listopadu. Může neúspěch ve volbách znamenat i konec Pirátů ve vládě? „Ve vládě to skřípe. Jsme kritizováni za kroky, které se musely udělat a které byly odvážné. Není to od našich koaličních partnerů fér,“ říká europoslankyně za Českou pirátskou stranu Markéta Gregorová. Jak chce strana čelit odlivu voličů?

Trwa wojna rosyjsko-japońska. Rosjanie są zaskoczeni postępami Japończyków, którzy rozpoczynają oblężenie twierdzy Port Artur. Car, aby ratować sytuację, włącza do walk Flotę Bałtycką (przemianowaną na 2. Eskadrę Pacyfiku), która musi przebyć niezwykle długi rejs przez trzy oceany. Cała podróż składa się z pasma ogromnych problemów logistycznych oraz kuriozalnych incydentów, spośród których można wymienić zgubienie jednego ze swoich okrętów, ostrzelanie innego podczas salwy honorowej oraz niemal doprowadzenie do wybuchu wojny z Wielką Brytanią. W Misji specjalnej odkrywamy kulisy wyprawy, która zakończyła się największą klęską w historii rosyjskiej floty - w 1905 roku w bitwie pod Cuszimą.

In the biggest win on a tennis court for the world's most populous country since the glory days of Li Na, Zheng Qinwen won the gold medal for China at Roland Garros on Saturday afternoon. Zheng, a 21-year-old rising star, took advantage of an erratic performance from Donna Vekic of Croatia to give China its first Olympic medal in singles, on the same court that Li notched her breakthrough win at the French Open, 13 years ago.知识点：watershed n. /ˈwɔːtərʃed/ 1. ~ (in sth)an event or a period of time that marks an important change转折点，分界线，分⽔岭（标志着重⼤变化的事件或时期）• The middle decades of the 19th century marked a watershed in Russia's history.19世纪中叶标志着俄国历史的转折点。2. a line of high land where streams on one side flow into one river, and streams on the other side flow into a different river分⽔线；分⽔岭；分⽔界获取外刊的完整原文以及精讲笔记，请关注微信公众号「早安英文」，回复“外刊”即可。更多有意思的英语干货等着你！【节目介绍】《早安英文-每日外刊精读》，带你精读最新外刊，了解国际最热事件：分析语法结构，拆解长难句，最接地气的翻译，还有重点词汇讲解。所有选题均来自于《经济学人》《纽约时报》《华尔街日报》《华盛顿邮报》《大西洋月刊》《科学杂志》《国家地理》等国际一线外刊。【适合谁听】1、关注时事热点新闻，想要学习最新最潮流英文表达的英文学习者2、任何想通过地道英文提高听、说、读、写能力的英文学习者3、想快速掌握表达，有出国学习和旅游计划的英语爱好者4、参加各类英语考试的应试者（如大学英语四六级、托福雅思、考研等）【你将获得】1、超过1000篇外刊精读课程，拓展丰富语言表达和文化背景2、逐词、逐句精确讲解，系统掌握英语词汇、听力、阅读和语法3、每期内附学习笔记，包含全文注释、长难句解析、疑难语法点等，帮助扫除阅读障碍。
China's Zheng Qinwen stunned top-ranked Iga Swiatek of Poland with a 6-2, 7-5 victory on Thursday in the women's singles tennis semifinals in Paris. Her achievement surpassed Li Na's fourth-place finish and made her the first ever Chinese player to reach the women's singles final in the Olympics.当地时间8月1日，在巴黎奥运会网球女单半决赛中，中国选手郑钦文以6-2,7-5的比分击败了波兰顶级运动员伊加·斯瓦泰克。她超越了李娜止步于四强的历史，成为第一位进入奥运会女子单打决赛的中国选手。No 6 seed Zheng will face either Croatia's Donna Vekic or Anna Karolina Schmiedlova of Slovakia in the gold medal match.6号种子选手郑钦文将在决赛中迎战克罗地亚选手多娜·维基奇，或斯洛伐克选手安娜·卡罗琳娜·施米德洛娃。"I feel more than just happy — happy isn't enough to describe how I feel," said Zheng, who played back-to-back three-hour matches to make the semifinals. "If you ask me to play three hours more for my country, I could do it again."郑钦文与对手进行了连续三个小时的对决，赢得半决赛，她表示：“我觉得非常开心，开心难以形容我现在的心情，因为祖国在支持着我，如果需要再战斗三个小时，我也能做到。”Zheng, 21, was defeated by Swiatek, four-time French Open champion, at Roland Garros, in all of their six previous meetings.斯瓦泰克已在法国网球公开赛实现四连冠，郑钦文在与其前六次交手时均被打败。"It was an amazing match. To beat Iga is not easy, as it's an important event for her," Zheng said.郑钦文说：“比赛很激烈，想要打败伊加并不容易，因为这场比赛对她来说很重要。”On Thursday, Wang Xinyu and Zhang Zhizhen also made history by defeating Demi Schuurs and Wesley Koolhof of the Netherlands 2-6, 6-4, 10-4 in the mixed doubles tennis semifinals. The Chinese duo's opponents in the final will be decided by the result of a match between a Czech mixed doubles team and the Individual Neutral Athletes.同时，8月1日，王欣瑜和张之臻在网球混合双打半决赛中，以2-6, 6-4, 10-4的比分击败了荷兰选手黛米·舒尔斯和韦斯利·库尔霍夫，创造了历史。在决赛中，中国队的对手将取决于捷克混双队伍与个人中立运动员之间的比赛结果。Before the Chinese tennis players' historic victories, Chinese shooter Liu Yukun and race walker Yang Jiayu, who hold world records in their respective disciplines, clinched the 10th and 11th gold medals for China at the Paris Games.在中国网球选手取得历史性胜利之前，中国射击选手刘宇坤和杨家玉在各自的项目中保持着世界纪录，分别为中国赢得在巴黎奥运会的第10枚和第11枚金牌。Liu, 27, scored 463.6 points in his Olympic debut to secure gold in the men's 50-meter rifle 3 positions final at the Chateauroux Shooting Centre, around 270 kilometers south of Paris. His victory marked the fourth gold medal for the Chinese shooting team at the Games.在位于巴黎以南约270公里的沙托鲁射击中心，27岁的刘宇坤以463.6分的成绩在男子五十米步枪三姿决赛中获得金牌，这是他第一次参加奥运会。这是中国射击队在本届奥运会上获得的第四枚金牌。"I'm very lucky, because the Olympics happened at a time when I'm in a good stage (of my career)," Liu said, adding: "Today, I did not perform as well as I did in the World Cup. I feel like my overall control is good and my mentality is good. I was not as nervous as I was during the initial competitions."刘宇坤说：“我觉得自己很幸运，因为奥运会开展时，我正处于好的职业发展期。今天，我的表现不如我在世界杯中表现得那么好。我觉得我的整体控制是好的，我的心态也是好的，我没有像在最初的比赛中那样紧张。”The shooter admitted that he was "influenced" by the audience, the cheering and the surroundings in general, but said he tried to get a grip on all distracting thoughts and stay focused during the competition.刘宇坤表示，他受到了观众、欢呼声和周围环境的影响，但他一直在努力集中思绪，专注于当前的比赛。"I just believed in myself and had a lot of confidence," he added.他说：“我坚信自己，并且满怀信心。”Liu is making his Olympic debut much later than many would expect. Zhang Changhong, who won gold at the same event during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, was just 21. Though new to the Olympic stage, Liu secured his spot for the Paris Games as early as October 2022, during the World Championships in Cairo, Egypt.刘宇坤在奥运会上的首次亮相比许多人预期的要晚得多，在2020年东京奥运会上夺得金牌的张常鸿只有21岁。虽然刘宇坤刚刚进入奥运舞台，但早在2022年10月，在埃及开罗举行的世界锦标赛上，刘宇坤就获得了巴黎奥运会的参赛资格。In May, Liu set a world record with 468.9 points during the World Cup in Baku, Azerbaijan.今年5月，刘宇坤在阿塞拜疆巴库举行的世界杯赛上，以468.9分创造了世界纪录。Yang, 28, delivered another win for China just an hour after Liu.28岁的杨家玉，在刘宇坤夺金后一个小时，为中国队赢得了另一场胜利。On the first day of the athletics events at the Paris Games, she blazed to the finish line in 1:25:54 to secure gold in the women's 20-km race walk at the Trocadero.在巴黎奥运会田径比赛的第一天，她在特罗卡德罗广场举办的女子20公里竞走赛中，以1:25:54的成绩冲到终点线，夺得金牌。This victory marks a significant turnaround for Yang, who finished 12th at the Tokyo Games. "Tokyo was very tricky for me, so I worked harder to make a comeback and get the best results in Paris," she said.杨家玉在东京奥运会上仅排第12名，此次胜利对她来说是一个重大转折。她表示：“东京奥运会对我来说非常艰难，所以我加倍努力想在巴黎复出并取得最好的成绩。”Yang's Paris win has extended China's dominance in the event.杨家玉的胜利扩大了中国在本届奥运会中的影响力。The tradition of excellence began with Wang Liping's gold medal at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. The 2012 Games in London saw an unprecedented sweep by Chinese athletes Qieyang Shijie, Liu Hong and Lyu Xiuzhi, who claimed gold, silver and bronze, respectively.王丽萍在2000年悉尼奥运会上夺得金牌，中国队的杰出传统就此开始。在2012年伦敦奥运会上，中国运动员切阳什姐、刘虹和吕秀芝分别夺得金牌、银牌和铜牌，获得了史无前例的大满贯。Liu Hong further solidified her career with a gold medal at the Rio Games in 2016 and bronze in Tokyo. At the Paris Games, the now 37-year-old, who once held the world record with a time of 1:24:38, finished 21st.刘虹在2016年里约奥运会上夺得金牌，并在东京夺得铜牌，进一步巩固了她的职业生涯。在巴黎奥运会上，这位曾经以1小时24分38秒的成绩保持世界纪录的37岁老将名列第21名。Semifinaln.半决赛Back-to-back matchesn.中场休息间隔时间很短的比赛Individual Neutral Athletesn.个人中立运动员

Její jméno se v Česku stalo synonymem pro válečnou zpravodajku, která informuje přímo z centra dění. V roce 1992 odjela Petra Procházková do Ruska a zůstala tam 10 let. Mezitím sledovala na místě řadu ozbrojených konfliktů hlavně na Kavkaze.Teď jezdí do Gruzie (naposledy právě tento týden kvůli demonstracím proti kontroverznímu zákonu o zahraničních agentech) nebo na Ukrajinu, kde vidí jiný druh války. „Je veliká. Ve srovnání s Čečenskem je v bezohlednosti vůči civilistům hodně podobná. Jenomže Čečensko je malinké území na severním Kavkaze, kde tehdy žil necelý milion lidí, a Ukrajina je 60 milionová země. V Čečensku to byla guerillová válka a tady je to válka dvou velkých armád,“ srovnává Petra Procházková.Svoji kariéru expertky na postsovětský prostor začala Petra Procházková v roce 1992, kdy jako zpravodajka Lidových novin odjela do Moskvy. Přijela tam tehdy s minimálními zkušenostmi na post zahraniční zpravodajky. „Vůbec nechápu, jak jsem to mohla vydržet. Neuměla jsem vůbec nic, ale hlavně ani rusky. Jela jsem tam s představou, že umím rusky. Už na letišti jsem pochopila, že mi nikdo nerozumí a já nerozumím nikomu,“ vzpomíná.Přijela tam po Jaromíru Štětinovi, který ji měl uvést a pomoci se zařizováním. Jenže ten ji nakonec nečekal, měl jinou práci. „Já jsem vůbec nebyla členem zahraniční rubriky, pracovala jsem v příloze, psala o antikoncepci, o módě. Tak mě tam poslali na tři měsíce. A myslím si, že po třech měsících zapomněli, že tam jsem,“ popisuje.Podle jejích slov jí ale výrazně pomohly události roku 1993, kdy se bojovalo o moskevský Bílý dům: „A najednou si vzpomněli, že tam jsem a zjistili, že náhodou jsem i uvnitř Bílého domu. Tak se to hodilo a hned jsem na té první straně (novin) byla.“Co zachránilo Petře Procházkové novinářskou kariéru poté, co ji ruské úřady v roce 2001 vyhostily, a ona se musela vrátit do Prahy? Proč zůstala v Lidových novinách i poté, co je koupil Andrej Babiš? Jak Putinův režim okleštil ruská nezávislá média? A jak se Petra Procházková dívá na práci válečných zpravodajek a zpravodajů? Poslechněte si celou epizodu Mediálního cirkusu.

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: A Charming Cultural Exchange: Zhang Wei's Mandarin Mishap Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.org/a-charming-cultural-exchange-zhang-weis-mandarin-mishap Story Transcript:Zh: 在北京的华灯璀璨下，一个有趣的故事在咖啡馆的角落里正在上演。En: Under the dazzling lights of Beijing, an interesting story was unfolding in a corner of a café.Zh: 张伟，一名新来的软件工程师，刚从美国的硅谷调到了这里。对于他来讲，中国文化、语言皆是陌生。然而，尽管面对各种困难，他决心打动他的新同事们，特别是那两个他喜欢闲谈和开玩笑的女同事：李娜和王静。En: Zhang Wei, a new software engineer who had just transferred from Silicon Valley in the United States to here. For him, Chinese culture and language were unfamiliar. However, despite facing various difficulties, he was determined to impress his new colleagues, especially the two female coworkers he enjoyed chatting and joking with: Li Na and Wang Jing.Zh: 忙碌的一天过后，张伟走进了这家充满浓厚文化气息的咖啡馆，他打算在这里进行他的小小计划。他用普通话尽全力地读出一句绕口令，“四是四，十是十，十四是十四，四十是四十”。他挑了最简单的一句，因为他觉得，他的中文已经足够流利，应该可以顺利完成。En: After a busy day, Zhang Wei walked into a café full of strong cultural atmosphere, where he planned to carry out his small plan. He tried his best to read a tongue twister in Mandarin, "Four is four, ten is ten, fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty." He chose the simplest one because he thought his Chinese was fluent enough to complete it smoothly.Zh: 李娜和王静坐在角落里，带着期待的目光看着张伟。他深吸一口气，然后大声地开始念绕口令，尽管他的嘴唇在念的过程中像是跳舞一般，始终无法准确地发出所需的音节。他试图让他的口音听起来更加流利，但结果却是结结巴巴，一团糟。他的普通话暴露出他的新手本色，尤其是在"十四是十四，四十是四十"的部分，更是笑话百出。En: Li Na and Wang Jing sat in the corner, watching Zhang Wei with anticipation. He took a deep breath and began reciting the tongue twister loudly, though his lips seemed to dance during the process, never quite producing the correct syllables. He attempted to make his accent sound more fluent, but ended up stumbling and making a mess of it. His Mandarin revealed his beginner status, especially in the "fourteen is fourteen, forty is forty" part, leading to laughter all around.Zh: 李娜和王静忍不住笑出了声，咖啡馆的其他客人也被他的表演逗乐了。沉浸在笑声中，张伟的脸变得通红，但他的嘴角却露出了一丝微笑。他没有感到羞愧，反而感到释然。他知道，他可能并没有打动他的同事，但他成功制造了一个欢乐的瞬间。En: Li Na and Wang Jing couldn't help but burst into laughter, and even the other customers in the café were amused by his performance. Immersed in laughter, Zhang Wei's face turned red, but a slight smile appeared on his lips. He didn't feel embarrassed; instead, he felt relieved. He knew that he may not have impressed his colleagues, but he had succeeded in creating a moment of joy.Zh: 站在微笑的李娜和王静面前，张伟微笑着说：“我知道，我很差劲。但是，我愿意学，我愿意改变。”他的朴实无华的表白，赢得了周围人的掌声。En: Facing the smiling Li Na and Wang Jing, Zhang Wei said with a smile, "I know, I was terrible. But I am willing to learn, willing to change." His humble confession won applause from those around him.Zh: 从那天起，李娜和王静成了张伟中文的老师。每天下班后，他们都会在那家咖啡馆边喝咖啡，边教张伟绕口令。虽然张伟的普通话进步得相当慢，但他却成了他们生活中的一抹亮色，他的努力，他的坚持，和他为了接纳新文化的态度，却深深打动了她们。En: From that day on, Li Na and Wang Jing became Zhang Wei's Chinese teachers. After work every day, they would sit in that café, drinking coffee and teaching Zhang Wei tongue twisters. Although Zhang Wei's Mandarin improved quite slowly, he became a bright spot in their lives. His efforts, persistence, and attitude towards embracing a new culture deeply touched them.Zh: 即使一开始困难重重，张伟并没有放弃。他的决心和毅力赢得了他同事的尊重和友谊。这不仅是一个搞笑的片段，更是一个关于接纳、理解和友谊的故事。En: Despite the initial difficulties, Zhang Wei did not give up. His determination and perseverance earned him the respect and friendship of his colleagues. This was not just a funny episode, but a story about acceptance, understanding, and friendship.

However, for Zhang Wei, a particular surprise in this city became unforgettable.Zh: 在繁华的浦东新区，高耸的陆家嘴三件套矗立在空中，巧夺天工。就在这座城市的中心地带，发生了一场引人注目的活动。有人歌唱、有人舞蹈、有人欢笑，一片热闹。其中，张伟作为主要嘉宾，引领这场盛大的节日。En: In the bustling Pudong New Area, the towering Lujiazui triplet stands vividly in the air, a marvel of architecture. In the city's central area, a remarkable event took place. People singing, dancing, laughing, creating a lively atmosphere. Among them, Zhang Wei, as the main guest, led this grand celebration.Zh: 而这一次，他的亮相却带给了大家许多惊诧。他低下头，一看到自己的脚，感到不可思议。他赫然发现，他居然穿着一双拖鞋走上了主会场。想起自己在家里匆忙换鞋的画面，他这才明白自己是怎么会犯下这个错误。En: But this time, his appearance brought many astonishments to everyone. As he lowered his head and saw his feet, he couldn't believe it. He found himself wearing a pair of slippers at the main venue. Remembering the hurried scene of changing shoes at home, he finally understood how he made this mistake.Zh: 现场，人们都笑了。其中，李娜看到张伟的表情，忍不住开了他一番旁贸不经心的玩笑。说出"张伟先生，你的鞋呢？"的时候，她笑得眼泪都要掉出来。En: On the scene, people laughed.

Novinári, ktorí píšu o dezinfoscéne dávajú svoju kožu na ich trh. Totiž ľudia z dezinfoscény sú známi tým, že zverejňuju čísla týchto novinárov. Snažia sa na nich hľadať špinu, zverejňujú ich osobné údaje, či ich rodinu. Je to rozšírené na Telegrame, hovorí v podcaste novinár Matej Príbelský. Číslo novinára Aktualít Mateja Príbelského pred nejakým časom zverejnil na svojom účte na sociálnej sieti známy slovenský raper Patrik Vrbovský. Stalo sa tak po tom, čo sa ho reportér spýtal na stretnutie na úrade vlády pár dní pred voľbami. Na druhý deň sa raper ospravedlnil, no číslo mladého novinára stále koluje napríklad na dezinformačných kanáloch.„Stále prijímam hovory na moje súkromné číslo. Moje číslo sa dostalo inzerát k jednému produktu. V popise bolo napisane že ľudia ma môžu kontaktovať v čase od 6:00 do 9.00," hovorí podcaste novinár Matej Príbelský.Vo svojich textoch sa hlavne venuje dezinformáciam a dezinformačnému priestoru. „Novinári, ktorí píšu o dezinfoscéne dávajú svoju kožu na ich trh. Totiž ľudia z dezinfoscény sú známi tým, že zverejňuju čísla tíchto novinárov. Snažia sa na nich hľadať špinu, zverejňujú ich osobné údaje, či ich rodinu. Je to rozšírené na Telegrame."Podľa neho sa vzťah verejnosti k novinárom zhoršil aj pre slovné útoky politikov. Tie sú zamerané aj na jednotlivých novinárov. „Do veľkej miery to napomáha k tomu, aby sa zradikalizoval vzťah verejnosti k novinárom," konštatuje. V rozhovore približuje, ako sa dá útokom vo verejnom priestore brániť.Reportér hovorí, ako komunikovať s blízkymi, ktorí podľahli dezinformáciám. „Záleží, či sa dá s touto osobou komunikovať, či je prístupný aj iným názorom. Ak áno, tak treba s ním komunikovať rešpektujúco, pýtať sa odkiaľ sa informáciu dozvedel a prečo si to myslí. Nezabúdať pri tom byť tak trochu človekom. Môžeme mať iné politické názory, ale na druhej strane sme stále kamaráti. Treba debatu kultivovať. Potom začne byť človek prístupný aj našim pohľadom na svet," dodáva Príbelský.Moderuje Denisa Hopková.

Her gentleness made Zhang Wei secretly vow to shed the title of "southerner" and master the art of eating hot pot.Zh: 通过多次的尝试和努力，张伟最终在李娜的指导下，学会了如何用筷子吃火锅。他拿起一只鱼丸，小心翼翼地向嘴边送去。李娜看着张伟，露出了满意的笑容。在这个冬季的夜晚，他们享受着美食，彼此的笑声回荡在麻辣觉醒的四周。En: Through numerous attempts and efforts, Zhang Wei finally learned how to use chopsticks to eat hot pot under Li Na's guidance. He picked up a fish ball and cautiously brought it to his mouth. Li Na watched Zhang Wei with a satisfied smile. On this winter night, they enjoyed the delicacies, their laughter echoing around the Spicy Awakening.Zh: 故事结束了，留下的是张伟内心的成长，他从一个不能吃火锅的南方学生，变成了一个筷子使用得心应手的人；李娜也收获了一份友谊，她带领着张伟走进了北京生活的烟火气，豪爽地展现了一个北京女孩的特色。而我们看到的是，即使面临困难和尴尬，只要我们勇于尝试，就能赢得别人的尊重和友谊。En: As the story ends, what remains is the growth in Zhang Wei's heart. He transformed from a southerner student who couldn't eat hot pot into someone adept at using chopsticks.

As the five-starred red flag was raised, illuminating the square, they did not pay attention to this spectacular sight. Instead, they were staring at a pair of chopsticks embedded in intricately carved jade stones in front of them. These chopsticks did not seem like tools for moving food, but more like a huge challenge to their patience.Zh: 在京城深处，张伟和李娜发现自己坐在庙街小巷中一家历史悠久的餐馆里。此时，香气四溢，他们面前是北京热门小吃--热气腾腾的饺子和灵动跳动的糖葫芦。而这两样食物的共同特点就是：它们需要筷子助手。用筷子对他们来说是新的挑战，尤其是张伟，他一直习惯用叉子和刀子吃饭。En: Deep in the heart of the capital, Zhang Wei and Li Na found themselves sitting in a historic restaurant in a hutong alley.

He touched his nose, bravely deciding to give it a try. He firmly closed the chopsticks, but with too much force, one dumpling bounced high in the air and landed like a shooting star on another table far from them.Zh: 他们的尝试吸引了整个餐馆的注意力，引发了一阵爆笑。他们的尴尬竟然成了这个灰暗早晨的一抹亮色。 他们看着彼此，目光相对，顿时失笑。他们的笑声像是泳池的泡沫，轻轻地跳跃在空气中，然后悄悄消失。En: Their attempts drew the attention of the entire restaurant and sparked laughter. Their embarrassment surprisingly became a bright spot on this dull morning. They looked at each other, made eye contact, and burst into laughter. Their laughter was like foam in a swimming pool, lightly jumping in the air before quietly disappearing.Zh: 尽管张伟和李娜遭遇了尴尬，但这并未击败他们，他们振作起来，决定再试一次。最终，李娜成功地用筷子夹起了一颗糖葫芦，并轻轻地咬了一口，她的脸上流露出惊讶的神色,尝到了胜利的甜蜜。张伟也不甘示弱，他决心用筷子夹起饺子，他的脸上洋溢出笑容，显示了他的喜悦。En: Despite facing embarrassment, Zhang Wei and Li Na were not defeated.
