这里是华盛顿NPR新闻直播，我是杰尔·斯奈德。田纳西州调查人员正全力查明昨日纳什维尔西南部军工厂爆炸原因，这场爆炸导致至少18人下落不明。汉弗莱斯县警长称这是其职业生涯中目睹的最惨烈现场。成员台WPLN记者卡罗琳·埃格斯采访了州众议员乔迪·巴雷特，了解事件对社区的影响。

Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Jael Snyder. As investigators in Tennessee work to determine what caused yesterday's explosion that leveled a munitions plant Southwest of Nashville, at least 18 people remain missing. The Humphreys County sheriff is calling the scene one of the worst he's ever seen. Caroline Eggers of member station WPLN spoke with Tennessee state representative Jody Barrett about the effect on the community.

巴雷特表示，他的社区在其一生中已遭遇多次灾难：天然气管道爆炸、致命洪水，以及如今的工厂爆炸。

Barrett says his community has faced multiple disasters in his lifetime, a gas pipeline explosion, a deadly flood, and now a factory explosion.

这个县承受了远超应得份额的悲剧性损失。

This county has dealt with a lot of tragic loss like this more than their fair share.

四年前，该地区曾遭遇田纳西州有记录以来最强单日降雨。洪水夺去了韦弗利镇20条生命，而该镇距此次爆炸的军工厂仅咫尺之遥。警长表示，参与本次救援的警员们当年也处理过洪灾，至今仍——

Four years ago, the community was struck by Tennessee's heaviest recorded single day rainfall. A flood killed 20 people in the town of Waverly, just a short distance from the explosives plant. Says He the sheriff and deputies responding to this latest incident also managed the flood and are

可能仍在与从树丛中打捞遗体的创伤后应激障碍作斗争。

Probably still struggling with some of the PTSD of dealing with pulling bodies out of trees.

巴雷特表示，这次爆炸将在社区留下又一道伤痕。NPR新闻，我是纳什维尔的卡罗琳·埃格斯。

Barrett says the explosion will leave another mark on the community. For NPR News, I'm Caroline Eggers in Nashville.

特朗普政府因政府持续停摆正解雇更多联邦雇员。预算主任拉斯·阿博尔特周五在社交媒体发文称该程序已启动。当天晚些时候，政府在一份法庭文件中表示已有超过4000人收到解雇通知。NPR的塞莱娜·西蒙斯·达芬报道，卫生与公众服务部是裁员目标之一。

The Trump administration is firing more federal workers as the government remains shut down. Budget director Russ Abolt posted on social media Friday that the process has begun. And later in the day, the administration said in a court filing that more than 4,000 have received layoff notices. NPR's Selena Simmons Duffin reports one of the targets is the Department of Health and Human Services.

HHS涵盖所有联邦卫生机构，包括食品药品监督管理局、国立卫生研究院及疾病控制与预防中心。发言人安德鲁·尼克松未透露具体裁员人数及受影响机构。他表示该部门在拜登执政期间变得臃肿，此次裁员是民主党主导政府停摆的"后果"。但由于今年早些时候的解雇和退休，HHS在此轮裁员前规模已小于拜登总统时期。塞莱娜·西蒙斯·达芬，NPR新闻，华盛顿。

HHS encompasses all the federal health agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institutes for Health, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Spokesperson Andrew Nixon did not say how many staff were being fired or which agencies were being affected. He said the department had grown bloated during the Biden administration and the cuts are the, quote, consequence of the democrat led government shutdown. However, because of the firings and retirements earlier this year, HHS was already smaller than it was under president Biden before this latest round of layoffs. Selena Simmons Duffin, NPR News, Washington.

白宫方面，特朗普总统被问及停摆裁员时指责民主党，称这些裁员是民主党针对中东的政策。特朗普表示相信以色列与哈马斯之间的停火协议将持续。

At the White House, president Trump was asked about the shutdown layoffs. He blamed Democrats and called the job cuts Democrat oriented on the Middle East. Trump said he believes a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will hold.

他们都厌倦了战斗，这确实给整个中东地区——这超越了加沙。加沙非常重要，但这超越了加沙。这是中东的和平，是美好的事。

And they're all tired of fighting, and this really gives the whole Middle East this is beyond Gaza. Gaza is very important, but this is beyond Gaza. This is peace in The Middle East, and it is a beautiful thing.

但协议仍存疑云，特朗普承认包括加沙治理方式及哈马斯是否解除武装等细节尚待敲定。在数千巴勒斯坦人返回满目疮痍的加沙北部之际，特朗普预计将于周一访问该地区。他将向以色列议会发表演讲并与开罗领导人会晤。您正在收听NPR新闻。朝鲜昨晚举行盛大阅兵庆祝劳动党成立八十周年，展示了包括新型洲际弹道导弹在内的军事武器。

But questions still loom over the deal, and Trump acknowledged that details still need to be worked out, including how Gaza will be governed and whether Hamas will disarm As thousands of Palestinians return to devastated Northern Gaza, Trump is expected to visit the region on Monday. He is to address Israel's parliament and to meet with leaders in Cairo. You're listening to NPR News.

朝鲜官方媒体称该导弹尚未经过测试，但将其描述为该国最强大的核战略武器系统。新奥尔良选民今日前往投票站选举新市长。NPR的马特·布卢姆报道，这场选举有相当广泛的候选人竞争领导这座城市。

More than 10 candidates are in the race to replace the city's current democratic mayor, Latoya Cantrell, who's term limited and faces federal corruption charges for allegedly trying to cover up a romantic relationship with her bodyguard. New Orleans has drawn the national spotlight this year for a major jailbreak and is one of several Democratic run cities where president Trump has suggested he wants to deploy national guard troops to fight crime. Millions of dollars have poured into the race. It's one of several major US cities, including New York and Detroit, that will elect new mayors this fall. Matt Bloom, NPR News, New Orleans.
