A high-ranking US security advisor has directly contradicted the president's claims Ukraine was trying to help the Democrats during the 2016 election. Russia expert Fiona Hill has warned that Ukraine meddling is a false narrative peddled by Russia. She says Russia is also trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential race.

一名美国高级安全顾问直接反驳了特朗普总统称“乌克兰曾试图在2016年美国总统大选期间帮助民主党”的言论。俄罗斯专家菲奥娜·希尔警告称，乌克兰干预总统大选是俄罗斯散播的虚假言论。她说俄罗斯还在试图干预2020年美国总统竞选。

"Some of you on this committee appear to believe that Russia and its security services did not conduct a campaign against our country and the perhaps somehow for some reason Ukraine did. This is a fictional narrative that has been perpetrated and propagated by the Russian security services themselves."

“这个委员会的有些成员似乎认为俄罗斯及其安全部门没有开展对抗我们国家的行动，但可能认为乌克兰基于某些原因开展了这类行动。这种说法纯属虚构，是俄罗斯安全部门自己编造和散布的。”

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been charged with bribery and fraud over a series of corruption scandals. The allegations stem from him accepting of hundreds of thousands of dollars in champagne and cigars from billionaire friends, including Australian businessman James Packer. His indictment throws the country's paralysed political system into further disarray, threatening the long-time leader's grip on power. Mr Netanyahu denies any wrongdoing and says he will not resign.
