This morning, a man has died after suffering horrific injuries in a shark attack off Queensland's Whitsunday coast. The 33 year old man was mauled at Cid Harbour late yesterday — close to the area where a woman and a child were attacked in September. He was helped by two off duty doctors and a nurse who were on nearby boats, before being airlifted to hospital in a critical condition. Paramedics say he'd suffered serious bites, significant blood loss and cardiac arrest.

今天早上，一名男子在昆士兰州圣灵群岛海岸附近遭遇鲨鱼袭击并被严重咬伤，随后不治身亡。昨天晚上，这名33岁的男子在席德港被鲨鱼咬伤，该地与9月份发生鲨鱼袭击事件的地点距离很近，当时一名女性和一名儿童被袭击。附近船只上的两名休班医生和一名护士对该男子进行了救助，随后这名情况危险的男子被飞机运往医院救治。医护人员表示，该男子被严重咬伤，严重失血且发生了心脏骤停。

Foreign minister Marise Payne has announced she will visit Beijing later this year breaking a year-long ministerial freeze imposed by the Chinese government. The freeze was the result of Australia's rejection¹ of foreign investment bids and new laws cracking down on foreign interference. But China's foreign minister Wang Yi will now host Ms Payne for this year's round of the "strategic dialogue."

澳大利亚外交部长玛丽斯·佩恩宣布，她将于今年晚些时候访问北京，这将打破中国政府对双边部长级访问长达一年的冻结。访问冻结是由于澳大利亚拒绝外资收购并出台新法律打击外国干预。不过，中国外交部长王毅将接待佩恩，二人将举行今年的战略对话。

And US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo says a wave of reimposed sanctions will exert relentless⁵ economic pressure on Iran, unless it changes its behaviour. The sanctions are aimed at crippling Iran's energy and financial sectors⁶, after the Trump administration withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran earlier this year.

美国国务卿迈克·蓬佩奥表示，除非伊朗改变其行为，否则一系列重启的制裁措施将持续不断地向伊朗施加经济压力。这些制裁措施旨在削弱伊朗的能源和金融部门，今年早些时候，特朗普总统退出了2015年签署的伊朗核协议。
