特朗普正式被提名为共和党候选人，参加11月的美国大选。在俄亥俄州举行的党会上，随着各州票数的逐一公布，特朗普当之无愧成为共和党候选人。下面请听詹姆斯为您从克利夫兰发回的报道。在过去的一年中，特朗普这位来自纽约的房地产大亨已让美国政坛天翻地覆。虽然毁誉参半，但特朗普还是在克利夫兰党会上通过全国人民的票选结果，最终赢得了共和党候选人的提名。这一时刻是阶段性努力的结果，因此特朗普的家乡是当之无愧的功臣。特朗普的儿子从纽约方面得知这一喜讯，并对父亲说，“恭喜你老爸，我们爱你”。继上周土耳其发生政变失败后，近5万名职工被土耳其政府开除。本来开除范围只包括被认定对土耳其总统雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安不忠的士兵、警察和官员，而周二的开除名单还包括了教师、大学院长、媒体工作人员。土耳其政府称，被开除之人都是法土拉的同盟，而法土拉被指控为这场政变的领导人。而伊斯坦布尔的萨伦称，这场拘留范围之广，让人不得不发问。倘若这些人都如政府所称，支持法土拉的政变行动，那么怎么可能涉及这样庞大的数量，并在政府系统、警力和军队内涉及如此多的重要职位呢？那么问题就来了：是不是埃尔多安政府利用政变契机进一步夯实其政权呢？奥巴马已与埃尔多安进行对话，称愿意为期提供帮助，以调查这场政变。美国政府称，奥巴马与埃尔多安讨论了有关法土拉的事宜，并称如果土耳其方面今后有引渡需求，会根据两国签订的条约条例执行。科学家称，上个月是有记载以来最热的里路月，并且2016年上半年的全球平均气温比工业化以前高出1.5°C。下面请听本为您发回的报道。美国气象监测人员称，2016年将成为史上最热的一年，这已经是连续第三年气温逐年上升了。月度监测表明，气象出现一系列异常现象。比如，两极海洋冰川覆盖率低于平均值。如果可能的话，巴黎协定中提到要将全球气温上升控制在1.5°C到2°C之间。但上述数据表明，最低阈值早已突破。如果要达到更容易实现的目标，那么今年实行巴黎协定的压力要加大。欢迎继续收听BBC新闻。巴西高级法院撤销了使用WhatsApp的禁令。法庭庭长称，禁用的判决不现实，因为WhatsApp在巴西使用范围太广。早些时候，某地方法院称，推出WhatsApp服务的脸书多次拒绝配合向办案人员提供信息。法国总理曼努埃尔警告国民大会称，今后法国将会出现更多的恐怖袭击和死伤事件。曼努埃尔表示，法国需要接受恐怖袭击威胁的事实，比如上个月在尼斯发生的袭击。我们还会遭遇其他的袭击事件。虽然这些话很难说出口，但作为总理，我不得不说。会有其他的袭击，会有其他无辜的人们死去。但我们绝不能习惯，不是要习惯于这样的恐怖事件，而是要学会直面恐怖分子的威胁。世界粮食计划署推出了2千亿美元的计划，欲向南非遭受旱灾的7个国家提供紧急支援。今年南非旱灾导致颗粒无收，1800万来自莱索托、马达加斯加、莫桑比克、斯威士兰、赞比亚、津巴布韦、马拉维的人民面临饥饿。马里官员称，一名全副武装的男子袭击了Nampala基地，导致17名士兵死亡。还有30名士兵受伤。最近马里新成立的一个组织称对富拉尼族进行了袭击，以回击马里军方之前的数次袭击。加州下水管道发生重大堵塞，迫使加州当局封锁了长滩的所有海滩。本周二，维修工作进行过程中，管道发生破裂，导致9百万升废水排进洛杉矶河。
