今日头条：昨天，一架飞往特拉维夫的阿联酋航空公司（Flydubai）航班在飞行途中发生紧急降落事件——一名飞行员刺伤了另一名飞行员，疑似企图制造飞机坠毁。机上约170名乘客中大部分为以色列人。在受伤的飞行员打开驾驶舱门后，一些乘客进入驾驶舱并将袭击者制服；随后，另一名机组人员协助将飞机安全降落在沙特阿拉伯的塔布克（Tabuk）机场。袭击者的动机至今仍不清楚。
Today's top stories A flydubai plane headed to Tel Aviv yesterday made an emergency landing after one pilot stabbed the other in a possible attempt to crash the plane. Most of the roughly 170 passengers were Israeli. Some passengers entered the cockpit and subdued the attacker after the injured pilot unlocked the door. Another flight crew on board then helped land the plane safely in Tabuk, Saudi Arabia. The motive remains unknown.
另外，一架搭载从阿联酋转飞至沙特阿拉伯的乘客的飞机将于周三抵达以色列的茨夫里亚（Tzafria）本-古里安机场（Ben Gurion Airport）。此前，该航班在飞行途中因驾驶舱内发生暴力冲突而被迫改飞沙特阿拉伯。为接回滞留的乘客，另一架飞机也被派往沙特阿拉伯。
A plane carrying passengers from an earlier flydubai flight that was diverted to Saudi Arabia arrives at Ben Gurion Airport on Wednesday in Tzafria, Israel. Earlier, their flight from the United Arab Emirates was diverted to Saudi Arabia after a violent altercation in the cockpit.
现场报道： NPR记者凯特·隆斯多夫（Kat Lonsdorf）在特拉维夫机场见证了乘客们的归来过程。她表示，抵达区挤满了记者和乘客的家属：有些人哭泣，有些人微笑，许多人看起来疲惫不堪。一位乘客告诉隆斯多夫，他在整个事件中努力安抚自己的年幼儿子；另一位从事管道工作的乘客则表示，他根据自己在电视上看到的信息协助制服了袭击者，并操作了飞机的控制系统。这起事件发生在以色列全国大选前夕，很可能会成为未来几周政治讨论的热点话题。
A second plane was sent to Saudi Arabia to retrieve the stranded passengers and return them to Israel. Erik Marmor/Getty Images NPR's Kat Lonsdorf was at the Tel Aviv airport as passengers returned. She tells Up First the arrivals area was packed with journalists and family members as passengers came through: some crying, some smiling and many looking exhausted. One passenger told Lonsdorf he tried to keep his young son calm during the ordeal. Another, a plumber, said he helped subdue the attacker and pulled up on the plane's controls after remembering something he had seen on TV.
美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）的改革计划：美国国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯表示，他希望减少高级军官的数量，并打造一支以无人机、人工智能（AI）以及他所倡导的“战斗精神”为核心的军队。在昨天于匡蒂科（Quantico）举行的演讲中，赫格塞斯宣布已将高级军官的数量削减了约10%，并计划进一步削减至20%。他还宣布成立一个新的军事指挥机构，专门负责研究无人机等新兴技术。尽管美国仍与伊朗处于战争状态，但赫格塞斯仍坚持推行这些改革措施。
The incident comes less than a month before Israel's national election and is likely to become part of the campaign conversation in the weeks ahead. U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says he wants fewer generals and admirals— and a military built around drones, AI and what he calls a "warrior ethos." In a speech at Quantico yesterday, Hegseth said he has already cut the number of senior officers by about 10% and wants to reach 20% He also announced a new military command focused on drones and other emerging technologies, even as the U.S. remains at war with Iran. NPR's Quil Lawrence says the issue is less about shrinking the top ranks than about who Hegseth is removing and why.
NPR的Quil Lawrence指出，问题不在于高层职位的减少，而在于Hegseth究竟解雇了哪些人，以及他这样做的原因。Hegseth未经公开说明就阻止了一些上校晋升为将军，并解雇了几名高级军官。Lawrence还提到，自5月以来，五角大楼一直没有举行任何新闻发布会，这与过去二十年伊拉克和阿富汗战争期间的情况形成了鲜明对比。
Hegseth has blocked some colonels from becoming generals without publicly explaining the decisions and has fired several senior officers. Lawrence also notes that the Pentagon has not held a news briefing since May, which is a stark contrast to the previous two decades of sometimes intense warfare in Iraq and Afghanistan. The FBI says it is "aggressively" investigating a cyberattack claimed by ShinyHunters after the group said it stole sensitive FBI employment data It is still unclear how much information was taken or whether hackers got in through third-party software or the bureau's own systems.
FBI表示，他们正在“积极”调查一起由“ShinyHunters”组织声称发起的网络攻击。该组织声称窃取了FBI的敏感就业数据。目前尚不清楚究竟有多少信息被泄露，也不知道黑客是通过第三方软件还是通过FBI自身的系统入侵的。一些现任及前任员工告诉NPR，被盗的文件可能包含求职申请、晋升记录、家庭信息以及医疗资料。
Some current and former employees told NPR the stolen files may include job applications, promotion records, family details and medical information. President Trump is traveling to Oklahoma today —not a battleground state but a place where he can test-drive his midterm message with a friendly crowd.
特朗普总统今天将前往俄克拉荷马州——虽然该州并非摇摆不定的“战场州”，但这里是他可以向支持他的选民传达其竞选主张的好机会。特朗普承诺将为35个竞争激烈的共和党选区进行竞选活动，但他首先访问的却是像俄克拉荷马州和阿拉巴马州这样的保守派占优势的州。
Trump promised to campaign for Republicans in 35 competitive races, but his first stops are in reliably red states like Oklahoma and Alabama. NPR's Franco Ordoñez says that the trips are partly about energizing voters who reliably turn out for Trump but may be harder to motivate when he isn't on the ballot.
NPR的Franco Ordoñez认为，这些访问的目的是为了激励那些一贯支持特朗普的选民；不过当特朗普不在竞选活动中时，这些选民可能更难被动员起来投票。此外，俄克拉荷马州也为特朗普提供了一个风险较低的环境，让他可以在前往竞争更为激烈的州之前测试自己的竞选言论。在这些州，特朗普的出现可能会激励民主党选民和独立选民。

Oklahoma also gives Trump a lower-risk place to try out campaign lines before heading to more competitive states, where his presence could just as easily motivate Democrats and independents. Deep dive In an aerial view, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve storage at the Bryan Mound site is seen on October 19, 2022 in Freeport, Texas. Brandon Bell/Getty Images North America The U.S. has drawn heavily from its Strategic Petroleum Reserve since the war with Iran began, shrinking the stockpile by more than 30% in six months.
关键信息：
The reserve, stored in underground salt caverns in Louisiana and Texas, is one of the government's main tools for easing pressure on gas prices.
- 自与伊朗的战争爆发以来，美国大量动用了其战略石油储备，导致储备量在六个月内减少了30%以上。这些储备储存在路易斯安那州和德克萨斯州的地下盐洞中，是政府用来缓解油价压力的主要手段。
Here's what to know 🛢️ Rapid drawdowns can damage the reserve itself, putting stress on the salt caverns and other infrastructure.
-
过度的资源开采可能会对储备设施（如盐洞等基础设施）造成损害。
-
特朗普政府正在考虑与委内瑞拉进行石油交换，但所讨论的原油品质较差、开采难度较大。
🛢️ The Trump administration is exploring a possible oil swap with Venezuela, though much of the crude under discussion is heavy and difficult to extract.
- 中国也动用了自己的石油储备，不过由于电动汽车在该国的交通体系中占比逐渐增加，中国的储备动用规模相对较小。
🛢️ China has also tapped its reserves, but less aggressively as electric vehicles make up a larger share of transportation there.
幕后故事： NPR的高级编辑兼记者特里斯坦·巴克马斯特（Tristan Buckmaster）是纽约大学的数学家。他和他的合作者莱文特·阿尔普格（Levent Alpöge）一直在研究纳维-斯托克斯方程（Navier-Stokes equations）。OpenAI声称已经解决了这个数学难题，但数学家们对OpenAI的解决方法仍存疑。
Behind the story Geoff Brumfiel NPR's senior editor and correspondent Tristan Buckmaster is a mathematician at New York University. He poses for a portrait in his office in Manhattan on September 11, 2026. Buckmaster and his collaborator Levent Alpöge have been working on the Navier-Stokes equations.
数学领域的争议： OpenAI表示其人工智能模型GPT-6 Astra帮助解决了数学界最难的问题之一，但数学家们对OpenAI的解题过程仍感到困惑。毕竟，谁没有因为跳过计算步骤而被老师批评过呢？又有谁收到过看似令人印象深刻、但实际上难以理解的AI答案呢？
They are clashing with OpenAI, which claims to have cracked the equations. Karsten Moran/for The Washington Post/Getty Images OpenAI says its AI helped solve one of math's hardest problems. The catch? Mathematicians weren't quite sure how it got there. That's what I discovered when I started talking to mathematicians about what was supposed to be one of the biggest discoveries this century.
数学家们认为这个答案是正确的，但由人工智能生成的证明文件长达166页；他们表示可能需要数周时间才能理清其中真正重要的内容。尽管这些证明文件还不够清晰明了，但他们对未来能够利用人工智能解决更多问题感到非常兴奋。
It turned out OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra model was not some machine supergod that outstripped human intellect – it was just that it was really bad at showing its work. Suddenly, a very abstruse and vague math story felt pretty relatable. Who hasn't been scolded by a teacher for skipping the steps?

And who hasn't gotten an AI answer that sounds impressive but leaves you wondering what on earth it just said? Mathematicians believe the answer is correct, but the AI-generated proof runs 166 pages, and they say it may take weeks to untangle what actually matters. Despite the lack of clarity, they're excited about the possibility of using AI to solve more problems in the future.
