BBC News: 美國撤出救助巴勒斯坦難民的資金

Hello, I'm Eileen Mchugh with the BBC news.

大家好，我是艾琳·麥克休，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。

It's been criticism of the decision by the United States to withdraw all funding from the UN agency that provides assistance to Palestinian refugees amid fears it could further destabilize the region, a spokesman for President Mahmoud Abbas described the move as an assault on the Palestinian people. Israel, however, has welcomed the US decision. Yolande Knell has more. The position of Israel and of Washington has been that UNRWA is perpetuating the Israel-Palestinian conflict, because it keeps alive Palestinian hopes of the right of return to land that is now in Israel, ancestral land for the Palestinians. Israel has long said that UNRWA should be phased out, that perhaps support for UNRWA should be shifted instead to other agencies that could support the Palestinians, because there is also an awareness the getting rid of UNRWA, scrapping it overnight would end up with really a lot of political instability.

美國宣布從聯(lián)合國機構撤資，此決定招致批評，這些資金旨在救助巴勒斯坦難民，人們擔心此舉會加劇該地區(qū)不穩(wěn)定因素，巴勒斯坦總統(tǒng)馬哈茂德•阿巴斯發(fā)言人將此舉稱為對巴勒斯坦人民的攻擊。然而以色列對美國的決定表示歡迎。以下是約蘭德•奈爾的詳細報道。以色列和美國認為“近東救濟工程處”只會讓巴以沖突繼續(xù)，但卻讓巴勒斯坦人回到故土的希望延續(xù)，這片土地如今屬于以色列，但卻是巴勒斯坦人祖先生活的地方。以色列之前一直稱，我們應該逐步淘汰“近東救濟工程處”，或許應該取消對“近東救濟工程處”的支持，為其它能夠幫助巴勒斯坦人的機構提供援助，因為如今我們意識到，廢除“近東救濟工程處”，或是一夜之間取消“近東救濟工程處”將導致更多政治不穩(wěn)定因素。

The opposition Workers' Party in Brazil says the former president Lula da Silva will remain its candidate for next month's election despite a court ruling that he is ineligible to stand. The party said it would appeal. The party's president is Gleisi Hoffman. We won't abandon Lula. We will present all appeals possible to ensure his candidacy. As long as we can still appeal, Lula should be the candidate. Today's decision belittles Brazil internationally and prevents the people from voting freely. The electoral court ruled that Lula could not be a candidate because of his conviction for money laundering and corruption.

巴西反對黨工人黨表示前總統(tǒng)盧拉•達席爾瓦仍將會以候選人的身份參加下個月的競選，盡管法院裁定盧拉沒有資格參選。巴西工人黨表示將會上訴，如今該黨黨首為格雷西•霍夫曼。我們不會拋棄盧拉，我們將盡可能地為盧拉申訴，保證他的候選人資格。只要我們還能上訴，盧拉就應該有候選人身份。如今的決定讓國際小瞧了巴西，且阻礙了人民自由投票。選舉法院之前裁決盧拉不可作為候選人，因為他的洗錢和貪污罪名成立。

Officials in Indian administered Kashmir say militants have released eleven relatives of police who had been abducted earlier in the week. They were set free after the police released relatives of detained rebel leaders. Anbarasan Ethirajan reportes. Political leaders in Indian Kashmir had expressed alarm over the abductions as it was the first time in the 30-year-old insurgency in the region that family members had been targeted. It started with police detaining family members of a militant leader following a rebel attack in which four police officers were killed. Then the rebels obducted the relatives of policemen, unlike the army and paramilitary forces, most police officers are from the region, and local leaders have warned that the violence could become more brutal if family members are targeted in the ongoing conflict by both sides.

印控克什米爾地區(qū)官員稱，激進分子已釋放11名警察家屬，本周早間他們遭到綁架。在釋放之前，警方釋放了遭到扣押的反對派領導人家屬，以下是安德布里森•安迪拉杰的報道。印控克什米爾地區(qū)政界領袖對此次綁架發(fā)出了警告，在30年叛亂中，該地區(qū)第一次出現(xiàn)將家人作為襲擊目標。警方最先拘留了一名反對武裝領導人的家屬，原因是反對武裝襲擊導致4名警員死亡。然后反對武裝劫持了警察的家屬，與軍隊和準正規(guī)軍不同，大多數(shù)警察都是本地人，當?shù)仡I導人警告稱，沖突暴力或將更加殘酷，如果雙方都將家屬作為襲擊目標。
