Keeping up the jaw-jaw

保持紧张状态

Donald Trump confirmed that he would hold a second summit with Kim Jong Un, North Korea’s dictator, in Vietnam in late February. Mr Kim has done little to fulfil his pledge at the pair’s last meeting in Singapore to give up his nuclear weapons.

Indian officials resigned in protest at what they saw as the government’s attempts to suppress unflattering economic data. They say unemployment is at a 45-year high of 6.1%. The government says it is reviewing the data.

The British government approved the extradition of Vijay Mallya to India, the next stage in a process that started in 2016 when the beer-and-travel tycoon fled to Britain to escape criminal charges related to the collapse of Kingfisher Airlines. Known as the “King of Good Times” both for what he sells and for how he lives, Mr Mallya denies the charges.

A leader, but with little power

“无权”领袖

A dozen members of the eu, including Germany, France and Britain, recognised Juan Guaidó, the leader of Venezuela’s legislature, as the country’s interim president. They acted after Nicolás Maduro, who won a rigged election in May, failed to meet a deadline for calling a proper ballot. Most Latin American democracies back Mr Guaidó. (Venezuela’s constitution makes him interim president if the post is not legitimately filled.) Venezuela’s army moved to block the delivery of food aid, which might fill empty bellies but would also embarrass the regime.

包括德国、法国和英国在内的十几个欧盟成员国承认委内瑞拉立法机构领导人胡安·瓜伊多(Juan Guaido)为该国的临时总统。今年5月，尼古拉斯·马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)在一场受到操纵的选举中获胜，但却没能遭规定的最后期限内进行适当的投票。大多数拉美民主国家支持瓜伊多。(委内瑞拉宪法规定，如果总统一职空缺，临时总统可代行其职。)委内瑞拉军队采取行动阻止粮食援助的运送，粮食援助也许能填饱肚子，但也会让政权难堪。

Brazil’s justice minister, presented a plan to get tougher on criminals and go easier on cops. Police who kill in the line of duty may escape punishment if they acted out of “fear, surprise or violent emotion”.

巴西司法部长提出一项计划，对罪犯采取更严厉的措施，对警察采取更宽松的措施。警察在执行公务时如果因“恐惧、惊讶或暴力情绪”造成过失杀人，可逃脱惩罚。巴西前总统路易斯·伊纳西奥·卢拉·达席尔瓦因腐败罪被判处12年有期徒刑，一名法官以额外的腐败罪名判其有罪，将其刑期增加至近13年。

Nayib Bukele won El Salvador’s presidential election. His victory ends three decades of power alternating between the left-wing FMLN and right-wing Arena parties. Mr Bukele, who is 37, has promised to fight corruption and to prevent violence by creating jobs. He also favours nicer public parks.

纳伊布-布克莱（Nayib Bukele）赢得萨尔瓦多总统选举。他的胜利结束了左翼马蒂民族解放阵线和右翼国家共和联盟党三十年来交替执政的局面。37岁的布克莱承诺将通过创造就业机会来打击腐败和防止暴力。此外，他还支持改善公园等基础设施。
