Two men in their 80s have di???ed from coronavirus in Victoria, and the caseload has increased by 317. It's the state's biggest daily increase since the pandemic began. The premier¹ Daniel Andrews says 28 of the new cases are connected to known outbreaks, while 289 are under investigation².

The unemployment rate rose from 7.1 to 7.4 per cent last month. Official figures from the Bureau of Statistics show the rate edged higher despite the addition of almost 211,000 jobs. The Federal Government says more training courses will be available for job seekers within two months. The Commonwealth³ is contributing 500 million dollars in funding, to be matched by the states, to create 340,000 training spots and short courses. One and a half billion dollars has been pledged to extend wage subsidies⁴ for apprentices⁵ for another six months and expand it to support more businesses.

上个月，澳大利亚的失业率从7.1%上升至7.4%。澳大利亚统计局公布的官方数据显示，尽管就业岗位增加了近21.1万个，但失业率仍小幅上升。联邦政府表示，未来两个月将为求职者提供更多培训课程。联邦政府与各州将各出资5亿澳元，设置34万个培训点和短期课程。同时，联邦政府承诺出资15亿澳元，将学徒工的工资补贴延长6个月，同时扩大补贴范围以支持更多企业。

And prominent Twitter accounts, including those of former U.S. President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential nominee⁶ Joe Biden, have been hacked⁷ in an apparent bitcoin scam. Billionaires Elon Musk⁸ and Bill Gates, as well as technology companies Apple and Uber have been affected⁹. The scam involved posting fake tweets asking people to send donations of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin in the hope of doubling their money.

包括美国前总统巴拉克·奥巴马和民主党总统候选人乔·拜登在内，多个知名推特账号在显而见的比特币骗局中遭到黑客攻击。亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克、比尔·盖茨以及苹果和优步等科技公司的账号也受到了影响。这场骗局采取的手段是：在推特上发布假消息让民众用网络货币比特币捐款，并给他们返还双倍比特币的希望。
