NATO has called on Russia to step back from confrontation over eastern Ukraine. Speaking during a NATO summit in Wales, the organisation's Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said leaders were sending a clear message that the alliance stood with Ukraine. From the summit, here's Jonathan Marcus.
北約已經呼吁俄羅斯從烏克蘭東部撤離軍隊。在威爾士的北約峰會上,北約秘書長拉斯穆森表示各國領導人已經發(fā)布明顯信號稱會與烏克蘭方面形成統(tǒng)一戰(zhàn)線。下面是Jonathan Marcus從峰會發(fā)回的報道。
In public NATO's message is one of resolve, full backing of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity combined with strong criticism of Russia's policies. But there's another message too, essentially telling Ukraine that any practical help that NATO may give Kiev will be limited and will be more of prospect for the medium term. What matters now is to deescalate the crisis. There'll be no NATO weapons or NATO troops. What the alliance is doing is essentially reemphasising its defence lines on Ukraine's western border. If this means that Kiev has to make concessions to Moscow, then so be it.
公然公布支持烏克蘭領土和主權完整,并強烈批評俄羅斯政治策略對于北約來講是一種下定決心之舉。但是同時還有另一層含義,就是告訴烏克蘭北約所能給予的幫助都是有限的,更多的是中期預景?,F(xiàn)在最主要的工作是解讀危機。北約將不會付諸武器或者軍隊,同盟需要做的就是重新加強烏克蘭西部邊境防線。如果這意味著基輔不得不對莫斯科做出讓步的話,那么就需要這樣做。
In Ukraine itself, pro-Russian separatist forces are advancing on the south-eastern port city of Mariupol. The city is the last major urban centre in the region still in government hands. Both Kiev and the rebels have said that a deal to end the conflict could be signed on Friday. Fergal Keane has been watching the fighting.
在烏克蘭,親俄分裂勢力正在朝著東南部港口城市馬里烏波進軍。這個城市是最后一個主要城市中心,目前還在烏克蘭政府控制之下?;o方面和叛軍方面都曾表示在周五簽訂停火協(xié)議。Fergal Keane從戰(zhàn)爭現(xiàn)場發(fā)回報道。
I'm on the last Ukrainian position outside Mariupol. Rebel forces are advancing towards here from the east. The men here said that they had to retreat a couple of hours ago because of the presence of what they said were Russian tanks attacking them. The local governor Sergey Taruta told me his forces would hold the city if the rebels made a direct attack. On the rebels' side in the town of Yasenotava, the desire for peace among civilians we met was overwhelming.
我現(xiàn)在正在烏克蘭最后一個據點馬里烏波的城外,叛軍軍隊正從東部趕來?,F(xiàn)場記者稱幾個小時之前他們不得不撤退,據其稱俄羅斯坦克對他們發(fā)起進攻。當地州長謝爾蓋告訴我們如果叛軍直接進攻的話他的軍隊將會做出回擊。在叛軍據點的Yasenotava城,群眾中希望得到和平的人數占據壓倒性數量。
NATO leaders have also been discussing how the alliance should respond to the threat posed by the militant group Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. So far no NATO member state has joined the United States in conducting airstrikes against the group. The British Prime Minister has said he will urge members of the alliance to stop paying ransoms to the militants.
北約領導人一直就聯(lián)盟如何回應伊拉克和敘利亞的伊斯蘭武裝激進組織的威脅進行討論。目前為止沒有北約成員國加入美國對伊斯蘭組織的空襲行動。英國首相表示他將督促聯(lián)盟成員國停止對伊斯蘭組織支付贖金。
A judge in the United States has found the oil giant BP 'grossly negligent' over the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010. Shares of the company fell sharply after a federal judge in New Orleans ruled that BP's reckless conduct had led to the biggest offshore oil disaster in US history. Here's our business correspondent Theo Leggett.
美國法官已經發(fā)現(xiàn)石油巨頭BP公司在2010年墨西哥灣漏油事件中嚴重過失。在美國新奧爾良一位聯(lián)邦法官公布BP公司嚴重過失后,其股票價格大幅下跌,BP的過失造成了美國歷史上最嚴重的一次海上石油災難。下面是我們商業(yè)記者Theo Leggett發(fā)回的報道。
This ruling will come as a blow to BP, which has consistently denied accusations of gross negligence. It means that the energy giant could face fines up to four times higher than would otherwise have been the case, potentially increasing the bill it faces by about $15bn. However, much will depend on how large the court deems the spill to have been, a point of which it has not yet ruled. BP insisted that the judge's finding is not supported by the evidence at the trial and says it will immediately launch an appeal.
這一判決可能對BP造成一定的打擊,因為一直以來因為疏忽問題而否認指控。這也就意味著能源巨頭可能面臨比之前高達四倍的罰金處罰,有可能會支付高達150億美元。然而罰金的多少將取決于法院如何對漏油事件進行判決,目前還不清楚。BP堅持認為法官的發(fā)現(xiàn)不是來自審判證據,將會立即采取上訴。

The United Nations says about 120 million girls around the world, slightly more than one in ten, have been either raped or sexually insulted by the age of twenty. The UN children's agency UNICEF found that in 2012 alone nearly 100,000 children and teenagers were murdered, most of them in Latin America and the Caribbean.
聯(lián)合國表示世界上大約1.2億女孩,十個里面就有一個多的人在20歲的時候被強奸或者性侵犯。聯(lián)合國兒童基金會UNICEF發(fā)現(xiàn)僅在2012年一年里就將近有10萬名兒童和青少年被殺,大多數發(fā)生在拉丁美洲和加勒比地區(qū)。
The former governor of the US state of Virginia Bob McDonnell and his wife have been convicted of corruption. Mr. McDonnell, who left office in January, was once a rising star of the Republican Party. But a federal jury concluded that he and his wife, who say they are now estranged, used his office to endorse the health care products of a businessman in return for lavish gifts. They are due to be sentenced in January.
前美國弗吉尼亞州州長麥克唐奈和他的妻子被指控腐敗。麥克唐奈在一月份離職,曾是共和黨新晉明星。但是據聯(lián)邦陪審團結論,他和他的妻子,現(xiàn)在稱其已經分開,利用辦公室職權接受商人賄賂從而對其保健品銷售帶來好處。他們將在一月份被判決。
One of America's best-known comedians Joan Rivers has died aged eighty-one. She'd been in hospital in New York for the past week since suffering a heart attack. Nick Bryant reports on her life.
美國著名喜劇演員瓊里弗斯去世,享年81歲。上周因突發(fā)心臟病在紐約醫(yī)院接受治療。下面是Nick Bryant發(fā)回的報道。
Joan Rivers was known for a lacerating and outrageous humour that took aim not only at Hollywood celebrities but also herself. Her extensive plastic surgery provided a rich source of laughs. She first rose to prominence in the mid-1960s as a writer and then regular guest on Johnny Carson's famed Tonight Show and went on to become the first woman to have a late night chat show of her own. But in recent years she gained a new following amongst younger viewers by hosting the show Fashion Police and becoming a red-carpet commentator, the role seen perfectly tailored for her trademark form of comedy that cut others and herself to shreds.
瓊里弗斯因怪異尖酸的幽默而出名,不僅拿好萊塢眾明星開涮還有自己。她多次的整形手術為她的幽默提供了豐富的資源。她第一次凸顯是在20世紀60年代中期以作家身份出名,后來經常做客Johnny Carson的《今夜秀》,再后來成為第一個主持晚間談話節(jié)目的女主持人。但是在最近幾年,她因主持《時尚警察》贏得眾多年輕人支持,成為紅毯評論員,這個角色完美適合她的喜劇形式標簽,笑笑別人,笑笑自己。
Reports from Belarus say a teenage boy has been threatened with a fine for nominating the country's autocratic President Alexander Lukashenko to do an ice bucket challenge. Millions of people around the world have poured buckets of icy water over their heads to raise money for charity and have challenged others to do the same.
來自白俄羅斯的報道稱,一名十幾歲的男孩一直稱要點名該國獨裁總統(tǒng)亞歷山大盧卡申科接受冰桶挑戰(zhàn)。全世界數百萬人都在接受冰桶挑戰(zhàn)為慈善事業(yè)籌集資金,并點名其他好友接受挑戰(zhàn)。
