英國(guó)正在考慮向來自高風(fēng)險(xiǎn)國(guó)家的游客征收保證金。今天，英國(guó)副首相尼克·克萊格表示，根據(jù)條例草案的建議，移民者只有在離開英國(guó)時(shí)才能拿回這筆費(fèi)用。如果外國(guó)人超過簽證期限仍滯留英國(guó)，那這筆保證金將會(huì)被沒收。目前尚不清楚保證金的數(shù)額以及保證金針對(duì)的國(guó)家。

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy is under investigation for allegedly exploiting the impaired state of the world's richest woman. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports Sarkozy _2_ of taking illegal campaign contributions from L'Oreal heiress, Liliane Bettencourt.

法國(guó)前總統(tǒng)尼古拉·薩科奇因涉嫌利用世界女首富心智糊涂的弱點(diǎn)謀取私利，目前正在接受調(diào)查。據(jù)NPR新聞的埃莉諾·比爾茲利報(bào)道，薩科齊涉嫌從歐萊雅集團(tuán)女繼承人莉莉亞娜·貝當(dāng)古那里收受非法競(jìng)選捐款。

The long running scandal stems from the 2007 presidential race. Sarkozy is suspected of accepting cash _3_ envelope from the frail and aging Liliane Bettencourt. A French judge and two examining magistrates decided to formally charge Sarkozy after interrogating him for 12 hours on the matter last November. Under French law preliminary charges mean the investigating judge has reason to believe wrongdoing _4_ but allows more time to investigate. The charges may later be dropped or could lead to a trial. But the charges are politically devastating to the 58-year-old former president, who's believed to _5_ a combat for the 2017 French presidential race. Sarkozy has denied any wrongdoing.His lawyer says he will appeal the ruling. Eleanor Beardsley, NPR News, Paris.

這個(gè)長(zhǎng)時(shí)間存在的競(jìng)選丑聞始于2007年的總統(tǒng)選舉。薩科齊涉嫌接受了年老體弱的莉莉亞娜·貝當(dāng)古裝有現(xiàn)金的信封。去年11月，一名法國(guó)法官和兩名預(yù)審法官就這個(gè)問題詢問了薩科齊12個(gè)小時(shí)，之后三名法官?zèng)Q定正式對(duì)薩科齊提出指控。根據(jù)法國(guó)法律，初步指控意味著調(diào)查法官有理由相信嫌疑人有不當(dāng)行為，只是允許更多時(shí)間進(jìn)行調(diào)查。之后，指控可能被取消，也可能進(jìn)行審判。但是指控對(duì)于這位58歲前總統(tǒng)的政治生涯將造成毀滅性的影響，據(jù)悉，薩科齊此前計(jì)劃參加2017年法國(guó)總統(tǒng)大選。薩科齊否認(rèn)有任何不當(dāng)行為。他的律師表示，他將對(duì)指控提出上訴。NPR新聞，莉莉亞娜·貝當(dāng)古巴黎報(bào)道。
