一 | "I think a lot of people have been very surprised, not least in the Armed Forces themselves have been very surprised to hear that there has been a particularly strong positive discrimination in favour of ethnic minorities in the Royal Air Force," Matthew Gordon-Banks, a former Tory lawmaker and retired senior research fellow at the UK’s Defence Academy, explained.,Gordon-Banks suggested that neither the UK Army nor the Royal Navy lack appropriate diversity: "We've seen considerable changes in recent years in our army and even those soldiers who guard the Queen on ceremonial duties ̶ we're seeing a wide range of ethnic minorities also serving, not just white faces," he said.,However, the RAF has possibly become the least attractive service given the fact that the UK has reduced its number of planes and ships, according to the former British lawmaker. He does not rule out that the RAF is "suffering from recruitment problems which have exacerbated the potential lack of diversity at the current time.",‘The Biggest F*** Up in the RAF': UK's Training of Fast Jet Pilots in Crisis, Leaked Docs Claim6 August, 11:14 GMT,Gordon-Banks went on to recall that the head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Sir Tony Radakin, "made clear that he wanted the Royal Air Force chiefs to make diversity a priority” in his very first speech as the combined head of the Army, Royal Navy and Royal Air Force in December 2021.,"So that means, in my view, that the combined head of our Armed Forces is the person who actually started this particular issue," Gordon-Banks claimed. "And the head of the Royal Air Force, Chief Marshal Sir Michael Wigston, subsequently committed to doubling the number of women to 40% in the RAF by 2030 and also having 20% ethnic minorities serving in our Air Force. And this seems to be a target which has been described as too far, too fast, and in pursuing it, it actually puts diversity targets ahead of ensuring what is best for our Armed Forces operational effectiveness.",Gordon-Banks emphasized that he would be the first to say that having a good ethnic minority and diverse mix in the Armed Forces which reflects the multicultural kind of country that the UK is, is a positive thing. However, it should not come at the expense of operational effectiveness, the former Tory politician noted.,The head of the RAF’s recruiting team – herself a senior female officer whose identity has not been disclosed – recently resigned "in disgust at what reports claim is the imposition of a de facto recruitment freeze on white men in favour of women and candidates from an ethnic minority background," according to the Daily Mail.,"The very idea that a female group captain, head of recruitment of the Royal Air Force, has felt it necessary to tender her resignation because she believes that operational effectiveness is being hindered by an alleged stopping of recruitment of white faced recruits in order to boost ethnic minority recruitment is clearly ridiculous, and that such a senior officer should feel it necessary to tender her resignation highlights a very serious issue, but it's an issue which is being created by the very head of our Combined Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin himself," highlighted Gordon-Banks.,WorldRAF Recruitment Head Reportedly Resigns After Service Temporarily Stops Hiring White Men17 August, 05:57 GMT,"Then you look at the head of the RAF and he's prepared to break the operational requirement of the air force just to meet diversity [targets]," one source said, as quoted by Sky News. Sources within the British Armed Forces have argued that these diversity targets are "impossible.",Former Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak, a contender to become the UK's prime minister, has recently commented on the emerging controversy. "The only thing that should matter in recruitment is the content of your character, not your sex or the colour of your skin," a spokesperson for the Sunak campaign said. "That the Ministry of Defence would allow Britain's security to potentially be put at risk by a drive for so-called 'diversity' is not only disgraceful, it is dangerous.",For its part, the RAF disputed the allegations, insisting that there is no pause in RAF recruitment and no new policy with regards to meeting in-year recruitment requirements, according to Sky News.,"What we should be doing in the UK is ensuring that we are recruiting the best irrespective of ethnicity," Gordon-Banks concluded.。 
8月5日，杭州政府发布《关于杭州市城市轨道交通9号线二期工程7座车站站名的批复》。批复的各站站名如下：1.康信路站。位于荷禹路与康信路交叉口，沿荷禹路南北向布置。2.兴元路站。位于荷禹路与兴元路交叉口，沿荷禹路南北向布置。
二 | 3.康泰路站。位于康泰路与顺达路（规划名）交叉口，沿康泰路东西向布置。
三 | 4.泉漳站。位于康泰路与星河路交叉口，沿康泰路东西向布置，位于泉漳村范围内。5.兴盛路站。位于康泰路与兴盛路交叉口，沿康泰路东西向布置。6.港北路站。位于港北路与运城街交叉口，沿港北路南北向布置。7.塘栖站。
四 | 位于绿荫街与塘栖路交叉口，沿绿荫街东西向布置，位于塘栖镇范围内。地铁9号线二期工程线路南接已运营9号线龙安站，向北延伸至塘栖站，线路全长约10公里，全部为地下线。
五 | 全线设置7座地下车站，同步配套建设昌达路车辆段。线路走向沿荷禹路、康泰路、港北路、绿荫街敷设。
六 | 待9号线二期开通后，杭州地铁9号线全线总里程将达到39.6公里，线路串联起观音塘、钱江新城、临平老城、东湖新城、塘栖古镇，形成一条贯通杭州主城至临平北部的轨道交通纵向通道。据了解，9号线二期是杭州地铁四期工程中进度较快的线路。今年1月，项目实现全线洞通，成为四期首条完成隧道全线贯通的线路，7个盾构区间全部完成掘进，地下隧道骨架成形。截至目前，车站主体结构施工已全部完成，其中兴盛路站更是杭州地铁四期首个完成主体验收的车站。6月，工程顺利实现正线短轨通，钢轨铺设全部到位，建设重心从地下土建转向轨道焊接、线路精调、机电设备安装、车站内部装修以及风亭、出入口等附属结构施工，各工作面同步加紧推进。预计今年年底具备通车条件。这条线路的落地，将补齐临平北部轨道交通短板。
七 | 一方面覆盖东湖新城北部大片居住区，方便荷禹路沿线居民快速往返钱江新城、主城区，大幅缩短通勤时间；另一方面地铁首次直达塘栖古镇核心区，既便利当地居民日常出行，也为主城去往塘栖的文旅客流提供便捷的公共交通选择，激活塘栖文旅消费潜力，推动临平北部板块融合发展，助力塘栖更好融入杭州都市圈。未来，市民乘坐9号线，可便捷换乘其他地铁线路通达火车东站、萧山国际机场等重要交通枢纽，临平北部居民出行将迎来质的提升。
