The United States is offering to rescue the Australian families of Islamic State fighters trapped in Syria as it ramps up pressure on countries to repatriate their citizens from the war zone. Eight Australian IS fighters are believed to be imprisoned in Syria, and more than 60 women and children are currently in the al-Hawl refugee camp.

美国将救援困在叙利亚的“伊斯兰国”武装分子的澳大利亚家人，目前美国正加大对其他国家的压力，要求他们将公民从战区遣返。据悉，目前有8名澳大利亚籍IS武装分子被关押在叙利亚，超过60名女性和儿童居住在阿赫尔难民营。

Firefighters are continuing to battle blazes along the eastern seaboard. Total fire bans are in place for much of Queensland, where there are still five Watch and Act blazes burning. In New South Wales all bushfires have been downgraded, thanks to cooler conditions.

消防员仍在继续对抗澳大利亚东海岸的大火。目前昆士州大部分地区都实施了完全禁火令，五起正在燃烧的大火仍处于“观察和行动”级别。得益于较凉爽的天气条件，新南威尔士州的所有火灾均已降级。

And Britain's prince Andrew has broken his silence on the Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking scandal claiming has no recollection of ever meeting an American woman who alleges she was forced to have sex with him. Speaking to the BBC, the Duke of York said he "let the side down" by staying with Jeffrey Epstein by staying friends with him after the disgraced financier's under-age sex conviction.

英国安德鲁王子打破沉默，首次谈论杰弗里·爱泼斯坦的性交易丑闻，称他不记得曾和自称被迫与他发生性关系的美国女性见过面。约克公爵（安德鲁王子）在接受BBC的采访时表示，因为在声名狼籍的金融家爱泼斯坦被判未成年性犯罪后仍与其保持朋友关系，他“令大家非常失望”。
