A tense standoff is continuing at a cafe in an affluent suburb of Bangladeshi capital Dhaka, where gunmen are holding about 20 hostages. First reports say several of them are Italian. At least two police officers have been killed and thirty others have been injured. The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility. The cafe was attacked in the evening by about eight young men who exploded bombs and opened fire on diners. Rashila Rahim lives next to the building.

在孟加拉國首都達(dá)卡富庶郊區(qū)的一家咖啡店內(nèi)，一場緊張的對峙仍在繼續(xù)，在那兒，槍手扣押了大約20名人質(zhì)。早期發(fā)回的報道稱其中有幾個是意大利人。至少有2名警官在交火中喪生，30人受傷。極端組織“伊斯蘭國”聲稱制造了這起襲擊事件。該咖啡廳在晚上遭襲，在用餐時，8名年輕人引爆炸彈，與警方交火。Rashila Rahim居住在咖啡廳附近。

"I heard police shouting with a loudspeaker, asking them to come out. Maybe they were talking to the militants. After that we heard lots of sound from the police operation. When I tried to leave, my driver said 'Don't go out. They are shooting. Stay inside'. Next I heard a loud noise in my living room, and the glass of my living room shattered. My daughter and myself started crying. It was terrifying. We've just been hearing continuous gunshots, continuous gunshots. It's too much."

“我聽到警方用擴(kuò)音器高喊，要求他們出來投降?；蛟S他們在和武裝分子交談，之后我們聽到警察制造出很大的響聲，當(dāng)我想出去時，我的司機(jī)說：“別出去，他們在射擊，呆在家里。”接下來，我在客廳里聽到一聲巨響，客廳的玻璃被射碎了。我的女兒和我開始哭泣。太恐怖了。我們只能聽到槍聲不斷，持續(xù)的槍聲，情況太可怕了。

Police they are now trying to negotiate with the attackers because they think this is the best way to deal with the situation. Senior police officials, they are now saying if they go for all-out operation against the Islamic militants, this will aggravate the situation farther because this will not bring any positive result there because the attackers from inside, they are sending messages with them: if anyone tries to cross the border line then they will kill all of the people who are being hostages inside.

警方正在努力與武裝分子談判。因為他們認(rèn)為這是處理這種情況的最好辦法。高級警官，他們現(xiàn)在表示如果他們?nèi)σ愿叭挂了固m武裝分子，這將進(jìn)一步加劇目前形勢，因為這不會帶來任何積極的效果。因為咖啡廳中的武裝分子一直在向警方傳達(dá)一個信號：如果任何人想進(jìn)入咖啡廳，就會殺死所有人質(zhì)。

The US government has given an official estimate to the number of civilians killed by American drone strikes since President Obama came to power. It puts the figure at between 64 and 116. Gary O'Donoghue reports.These figures do not include countries such as Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. They focus on places such as tribal areas in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, where the US has targeted terrorist groups and individuals. Officials say that almost 500 strikes took place in these areas between 2009 and the end of 2015, killing around 2,500 combatants. At the same time the figures were released, the White House said the president had signed an executive order requiring the numbers to be published each year, something that could be reversed by a future administration.

美國政府對自奧巴馬上臺以來，美國無人機(jī)空襲所造成的貧民死亡人數(shù)做出官方估計，人數(shù)在64到116之間。Gary O'Donoghue報道。這些統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)不包括如伊拉克、敘利亞和阿富汗等國。美國政府主要盯準(zhǔn)巴基斯坦、也門、索馬里的部落地區(qū)，因為這些地區(qū)里有美國政府鎖定的恐怖組織和個人。官員們表示，在這些地區(qū)，從2009年到2015年底，發(fā)生近500次襲擊，殺死大約2500名戰(zhàn)士。在這些數(shù)據(jù)被公之于眾的同時，美國政府稱奧巴馬已經(jīng)簽署了行政命令，要求每年公布這一數(shù)字，并表示，未來，美國政府可能會扭轉(zhuǎn)這一情況。

The Australian mining giant BHP Billiton says it will fight a decision by the Brazilian supreme court to suspend a settlement for damages imposed after a dam burst at an iron ore mine. Prosecutors say the settlement is too lenient. The chemical-laden waste water flooded the Doce river valley in November last year, flattening two towns; 19 people were killed. BHP and the Brazilian company Vale agreed to pay around $2bn in March to clean up about 600km of river. But prosecutors say the real cost will be three times as much.

澳大利亞礦業(yè)巨頭必和必拓(BHP Billiton)表示對巴西高級法院的判決不服，想延遲賠償因堤壩崩塌造成的鐵礦事故。檢察官表示該判決過于仁慈。去年11月，化學(xué)廢水淹沒了河谷公司，兩個城鎮(zhèn)夷為平地，19人喪生。必和必拓和巴西淡水河谷公司同意支付約20億美元用于清理河流中約600公里的污染物。但是檢察官表示真正的成本將是該數(shù)目的三倍。

澳大利亞聯(lián)邦選舉投票已經(jīng)開始。目前保守黨首相麥肯·騰博（Malcolm Turnbull ）做出承諾，為了提升就業(yè)前景會減少稅收。而其競選對手共黨領(lǐng)袖比爾（Bill Shorten）想提高稅收以資助更多的學(xué)校和醫(yī)院。請聽 Phil Mercer發(fā)回的報道。

Politics in Australia is a volatile business. There have been four prime ministers in the past 3.5 years. Voters simply want stability at a time when a long mining boom continues to fade and because of the global uncertainty caused by Britain's decision to leave the European Union. Both the centre-right Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull and the Labor Party opposition leader Bill Shorten insist they have the safe hands Australia needs. It is though expected that record numbers of voters will support minor parties or independent candidates.

澳大利亞政局動蕩不堪。在過去的三年半中換了4個首相。而選民只是想要簡單的穩(wěn)定時期，因為澳大利亞的支柱礦業(yè)持續(xù)消退，而且英國脫歐也造成了極大的不確定性。但上述的兩名競選者都表示，他們有能力讓澳大利亞一切好起來。不過也有人希望選民能將支持少數(shù)派或者獨立參選人。

In the European football championship Wales has beaten one of the tournament favourites, Belgium, 3-1, to record arguably their greatest ever victory. They came back from 1-0 down with goals from Ashley Williams, Sam Vokes and the superb strike from Hal Robson-Kanu. After the match Wales's manager Chris Coleman says his team was fearless."Four years ago, I was as far away from this as you can imagine. And look what has happened. If you work hard enough and you're not afraid to dream, then you're not afraid to fail. And every now and again - I can't say every now and again because this has never happened to me, but I'm enjoying it. It's sweet, and I think we deserve it." Wales will now play Portugal in the semi-finals. It's the first time they've reached the semis of a major tournament.
