US president Donald Trump¹ has back-tracked on his initial comments made after his meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin. In Helsinki, Mr Trump said he could not see any reason why it would be Russia that interfered² with the 2016 US presidential election. He now says he mis-spoke at the joint³ press conference and believes that while election meddling⁴ took place, it 'could be other people also'. The comments come after widespread condemnation⁵ from within the Republican party.

美国总统唐纳德·特朗普收回他在同俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京会面后发表的言论。特朗普在赫尔辛基时曾表示，他想不到俄罗斯干预2016美国总统大选的理由。现在他表示，他在联合记者会上出现了口误，他认为就干预总统大选一事来说，“也可能是其他人所为”。由于共和党内部出现广泛谴责，特朗普做出了以上澄清。

The federal government will continue its controversial cashless welfare card trials, despite a report questioning the evidence about its effectiveness. The card quarantines 80 per cent of welfare payments so recipients⁷ can only spend the money on necessities and not on alcohol or gambling⁸. But a national audit⁹ office review has found serious flaws with the trial data collected and describes the cards as 'a social experiment'.

澳大利亚联邦政府将继续实施备受争议的无现金福利卡试点项目，尽管一份报告对该项目有效性的证据提出了质疑。该福利卡对80%的福利金进行限制，使这部分福利金只能用于基本生活支出，不能用来购买酒精或进行赌博。但是一份国家审计署的审查报告发现，这一试点项目在数据收集上存在严重缺陷，报告称无现金福利卡是“社会实验”。

And a team of scientists in WA have developed an experimental blood test to detect skin cancer.
