BBC新闻讲解附字幕:英国禁止索马里飞机入境(2010-11-5)查看原文第一部分：听力文本BBC News with Marion MarshallBritish security officials say the crucial tip-off on the parcel bombs addressed to a Chicago synagogue and discovered on cargo planes on Friday came from a suspected al-Qaeda member. The man is a Saudi Arabian national.More from our security correspondent Gordon Corera.It appears that a member of al-Qaeda who had been to the Saudi rehabilitation programme,then left and went and joined al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in Yemen,but then left again and left the al-Qaeda grouping and returned to the Saudi authorities.About two weeks ago,we think,and with him came a tip-off and the intelligence about this potential plot which was then shared by the Saudis with American and other authorities,and clearly that was vital because if these devices had got through the initial security screening,and so without that tip-off,they may well have exploded.The British government has introduced new security restrictions in the wake of the parcel bomb discovery.Air passengers will no longer be able to carry printer cartridges in their hand luggage and no unaccompanied air cargo will be allowed into Britain from Somalia.Campaigning is drawing to a close across the United States in national elections that will decide control of Congress.Opinion polls suggest President Barack Obama’s Democratic Party could lose control of the House of Representatives,but the campaign for the Senate is expected to be much tighter.More from Jonny Dymond.After a frantic final four-state swing,President Obama has spent this last day before the elections in the White House,recording radio interviews and rallying volunteers by phone.Up and down the country,the airwaves are heavy with blast and counter-blast from candidates who have outspent any that have come before them.One non-partisan group estimates that the final spend on this election will be$4billion.President Barack Obama has renewed American sanctions against Sudan for another year in an effort to keep the pressure on Khartoum to resolve the conflicts in the country.But a spokesman said the US would reconsider its approach if there was progress in resolving a bitter North-South dispute and improve the humanitarian situation in Darfur.The electoral commission in Ivory Coast has said the turnout in Sunday’s presidential election was about80%,a figure it called“historic”.The election,the first in ten years,is aimed at bringing an end to a civil war which left Ivory Coast divided for several years.John James reports from Abidjan.So far only results for Ivorians who voted outside the country have been partially published.They suggest a second round between current President Laurent Gbagbo and former International Monetary Fund economist Alassane Ouattara.But these results represent a tiny percentage of the overall electorate.A large proportion of the country’s5.7million voters came out to cast their ballots on Sunday,creating long queues in front of many of the voting centres.The head of UN peacekeeping mission said the turnout was one of the highest-ever in Africa.BBC News.American health authorities say the cholera strain which has killed more than330people in Haiti most closely resembles a strain found in South Asia.The US Centre for Disease Control found that Haitian cholera patients had all been infected by the same strain of the disease.The Haitian health minister said it was unlikely to have originated in Haiti.A judge in Uganda has ordered a newspaper to stop publishing the names,addresses and photographs of people it says are homosexual.A Uganda gay rights group minortity requested the injunction after the newspaper published for a second time the identities of some people it said were homosexual.A spokesperson for the group,Pepe Julian Onziema,said the newspaper caused a lot of problems in the gay community."It created a lot of scare.The community were very afraid.For myself,it was like'I cannot keep only living in fear in this country'.My rights have been violated by me being outed in that paper, and my colleagues as well."The newspaper editor last month defended his decision to name homosexuals,saying they were trying to recruit children.The Turkish Kurd militant group,the PKK,has said it had nothing to do with a suicide bomb attack in Istanbul on Sunday,in which32people were wounded.The group said it was out of the question that any of its fighters could carry out a bombing which would hurt civilians.Police in Northern Ireland say a bomb discovered in a car at Belfast International Airport at the weekend could have been there since last year.The device,found in the long-stay car park near the airport,was found to contain flammable liquid.It was made safe by a bomb disposal team.The Catholic Church in Cuba says the government has agreed to release three more dissidents. One of the men has served more than25years in jail for stealing seven rifles when he was19 years old.Under the deal brokered by the church,the three would be exiled in Spain.BBC World Service News提示：文本转自普特听力论坛第二部分：参考翻译周五，一架货运飞机上发现了寄送到芝加哥犹太会堂的炸弹包裹。

BBC新闻讲解附字幕:阿根廷前总统心脏病发去世(2010-11-01)查看原文第一部分：听力文本BBC News with Iain PurdonThree days after a tsunami struck the remote Mentawai island chain in western Indonesia,the full scale of the disaster is emerging.Rescue teams have reached most of the worst-affected areas to find homes and offices destroyed,swathes of land under water and swollen bodies strewn across roads and beaches.Karishma Vaswani reports.The district chief of the Mentawai Islands told the BBC that the focus for rescue teams now is to treat the hundreds of people who've been severely injured in the tsunami.He added that most of the villages affected have now been reached.Mass graves have been dug for the large number of people who were killed,and thousands of refugees who lost their homes in the disaster have been moved into temporary shelters.The local government says it plans to set up a rehabilitation and reconstruction programme for Mentawai.Eleven of the27leaders attending the European Union summit in Brussels have signed a letter calling for the6%EU budget increase proposed for next year to be curtailed.They say the proposed rise is unacceptable at a time when member governments are imposing austerity measures.The countries challenging the budget increase include Britain,France and Germany. Jonathan Marcus reports from Brussels.A powerful group of11countries,including some of the key movers and shakers in the European Union,is setting down a powerful challenge to the EU's parliament and commission.A letter is being sent to the president of the European Council signed by the leaders of the11countries, insisting that the growth in the EU's budget for2011must be curtailed.Existing calls from the commission and parliament for an increase in EU spending of some6%are described in the letter as"especially unacceptable at a time when we are having to take difficult decisions at national level to control public expenditure".A commission appointed by President Obama to investigate the Gulf of Mexico oil spill says that cement used to seal the doomed well may have contributed to the blow-out that caused the disaster. The commission says that both BP,which owned the well,and Halliburton,the contractor responsible for the cement,were aware of flaws in the mixture,weeks before the disaster.From Washington,Iain MacKenzie reports.In the first of its findings to be made public,the national commission raises concerns about the cement mix used to seal the bottom of BP's Macondo well.It says four separate tests were carried out before the20April explosion.Three of those came back showing potential problems thatcould have led to the cement failing.The report also states that while Halliburton did pass on some of the test results to BP,it may have kept other data to itself.President Cristina Fernandez of Argentina has joined thousands of mourners paying their respects to her late husband,the former President Nestor Kirchner.Mr Kirchner,who died of a heart attack on Wednesday,was his wife's chief strategist and one of the most powerful politicians in Argentina.World News from the BBCThe United Nations says it's found no evidence so far that Nepalese peacekeepers in Haiti are the source of a cholera outbreak that's killed more than300people.The UN said all the Nepalese soldiers in Haiti had undergone medical tests before their deployment,and none was cholera positive.It added that samples taken from their camp last week had tested negative.Further tests are being carried out.Bethany Bell reports from Washington.The UN says it's taking the issue very seriously but so far has found nothing to suggest that the outbreak of cholera in Haiti started with the Nepalese peacekeepers.Martin Nesirky,the spokesman for the UN secretary general,said that all710Nepalese soldiers had undergone medical tests before they were deployed to Haiti earlier this month,and none were cholera positive.The Nepalese camp has become the object of local suspicion partly because cholera is rare in Haiti but endemic in Nepal.The leader of the militant Hezbollah movement in Lebanon has called on his countrymen to boycott a United Nations tribunal investigating the murder of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.Hassan Nasrallah's speech comes a day after two UN investigators who were gathering evidence at a gynaecology clinic in Beirut came under attack by a group of women.Serbia has announced it's offering a reward of about$14million for information leading to the capture of the war crimes suspect Ratko Mladic.The government said it was increasing the reward 10-fold to show that it was firmly committed to joining the European Union.Mountaineers can now use mobile telephones and surf the Internet while they are climbing Mount Everest.A Nepalese telecommunications company has installed wireless technology stations along the route to base camp.As a result,mountaineers will be able to access up-to-date weather reports and safety information.BBC News提示：文本转自普特听力论坛第二部分：参考翻译海啸袭击印度尼西亚西部明打威群岛三天之后，灾难的规模已经初见端倪。

BBC新闻讲解附字幕:美联储主席称全球经济乐观(2010-08-5)查看原文第一部分：听力文本BBC news with David Legge.Israel says it’s decided to cooperate with the United Nations’investigation into its commando raid on a Gaza aid flotilla in May.Israel had previously said there was no need for an international probe into the incident in which9activists from Turkey and the United States were killed.Turkey has welcomed the UN investigation.Here’s our UN correspondent Barbara Plett.The panel's mandate is to review the results of the two national inquires into the raid,ask for additional information if necessary and recommend ways of avoiding such incidents in the future. The UN officials insist this is an investigative body,not simply an international review panel to supervise the Turkish and Israeli inquires.However,that appears to be a matter of interpretation for the two countries,with the Turks stressing the“investigation”and the Israelis stressing the “review”.But both see this as the crucial step necessary to defuse tensions between them.UN diplomats say that’s one of the reasons Israel dropped its refusal to participate..Seven years after the American-led invasion of Iraq,President Obama has confirmed that all US combat troops will be withdrawn by the end of August.Mr Obama said this would fulfill a pledge he made shortly after taking office.He described how the role of the American forces would change during the phase d withdrawal.“As agreed to with the Iraqi government we will maintain a transitional force until we remove all our troops from Iraq by the end of next year.And during this period,our forces will have a focused mission-supporting and training Iraqi forces,partnering with Iraqis in counter-terrorism missions,and protecting our civilian and military efforts.”Some50,000American troops will stay on until the end of next year to train Iraqi forces and help conduct counter-terrorism operations.The International Committee of the Red Cross says as many as2.5million people in Pakistan have been affected by the worst flooding in a generation.Pakistan’s Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira said the severity of the flooding was putting relief operations under intense strain.“In just one province,30helicopters are operating.Unfortunately,when the weather is bad,the helicopters can’t fly.And the roads,the links,the bridges,those are vanish ed and those have been damaged.So by road the approach is very difficult,and by helicopters-this is only way to approach in those areas,and if there are heavy clouds in the mountains,it’s very difficult to fly.”The chief minister of Indian-administered Kashmir Omar Abdullah has called for urgent reinforcement s to tackle the worst violence in Kashmir for2years.At least5people have been shot dead and50wounded in the latest clashes between police and demonstrators protesting against Indian rule.Mr Abdullah urged people to stop taking the law into their own hands, following a series of attacks on police stations.World News from the BBC.The municipality of Chongqing,an industrial powerhouse in southwestern China,has begun easing the country’s tough restrictions on internal migration.The local authorities are reclassifying migrants from rural areas and say they will recognise10million people as city dwellers over the next decade.China’s rigid registration system which ties people to their place of birth has come under huge strain in recent years.A United States court has convicted2men of plotting to cause explosions at JFK International Airport in New York.Russell Defreitas and Abdul Kadir were found guilty of conspiring to blow up jet fuel tanks and buildings to avenge what they saw as"US oppression of Muslims".The defence argued that they were led astray by a police informant.The head of the American Federal Reserve Ban Bernanke says the United States has a considerable way to go to achieve a full economic recovery.Mr Bernanke said unemployment was still high and housing market was weak.However,two encouraging economic surveys in the United States and Europe have helped global stock markets begin the week with rises after recent losses.Our business reporter Theo Leggett has more.Over the past few weeks,leading stock markets have been weighed down by concerns that the global economic recovery could be weakening.On Monday,there were signs that this may not be the case.A monthly index of manufacturing activity in the16countries that use the Euro was revised upwards,while a similar survey in the United States proved more positive than expected. Strong earnings from the British bank HSBC and the French bank BNP Paribas gave a further boost to share prices.Analysts say the news has increased investor confidence and temper ed fears of a so-called“double-dip recession”.The takeover of the Swedish carmaker Volvo by the Chinese company Gili has been completed. It’s the biggest takeover so far of a foreign brand by China's expanding automotive industry.Gili paid$1.3billion.BBC News.提示：文本转自普特听力论坛第二部分：参考翻译以色列表示，他们将配合联合国的行动，对五月份以色列突击队袭击加沙救援船队事件进行调查。

The scandal was revealed last year in two reports that highlight ed systematic abuse of children and young people by priests and others connected with the Church.At a news conference,the bishops said measures were already being put in place to stop future abuses.The Inter-American Development Bank says the cost of rebuilding Haiti after last month's earthquake could reach14billion dollars.The estimate is based on preliminary damageassess ment and comparisons with previous disasters.The bank says the earthquake was proportionately the most destructive natural disaster of modern times when viewed in relation to the size of Haiti's population and economy.The quake killed about230,000people and left the capital Port-au-Prince in ruins.World News from the BBC.Argentina says it's imposing new controls on shipping to the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic in a growing row over British plans to drill for oil there.The Argentine government said all vessels leaving for the Falklands from Argentine ports or passing through Argentine waters would need permission from Buenos Aires.Britain and Argentina fought a short war over the Falklands in1982.Argentina still disputes British sovereignty.The French Defence Minister Herve Morin has promised a transparent investigation after a newspaper reported that France deliberately exposed its soldiers to contamination during nuclear tests.The Parisien newspaper had published what it said were official documents,detailing how several hundred soldiers were ordered to enter contaminated zones during atomic bomb tests in Algeria in the early1960s.The document says the aim was to assess the physical and psychological effects on humans.New research suggests that the Egyptian boy pharaoh Tutankhamun was killed by malaria and wasn't murdered or killed in an accident.Tutankhamun is probably the best-known pharaoh of ancient Egypt because of his marvelously preserved tomb discovered in1922.Michelle Roberts reports.Scientists,who painstakingly studied the pharaoh's remains,think Tutankhamun died from a bout of malaria that attacked his already weakened body.They say he had a cleft palate in club foot likely forcing him to walk with a cane.In the Journal of the American Medical Association,lead scientist,Dr Zahi Hawass,says how he found traces of the malaria parasite in Tutankhamun's blood along with signs of bone disease.Researchers in Colombia say they may have an answer to food shortages in the conflict zones of the Democratic Republic of Congo,where livestock are often stolen.They suggest that guinea pigs,which are high in protein and easy to hide,have immense potential because they reproduce quickly and can be fed on kitchen waste.BBC News.提示:文本转自普特英语听力论坛第二部分：参考翻译美国总统奥巴马支持建立三十年来首座核反应堆。

BBC news 2011-07-27[00:03.42]Police in Norway have begun releasing the names of the 76 people killed in Friday's bomb attack in Oslo and mass shooting on a nearby island.[00:13.07]Earlier, the lawyer for the man who's admitted carrying out the attacks, Anders Behring Breivik, expressed doubts about his client's mental health. [00:21.19]From Oslo,Stephen Evans.[00:23.28]The lawyer said his client was probably insane, though it wasn't certain that insanity would be his formal plea.[00:29.79]He said his client regarded himself as taking part in a war. Breivik is now likely to be charged with an offence related to terrorism,[00:38.66] Which will enable the court to impose a longer sentence than the current maximum for murder.[00:43.49]The head of the country's intelligence service told the BBC they were also investigating links to other groups[00:49.86]and whether Breivik may have left unexploded bombs elsewhere.[00:53.56]President Obama has made an unannounced visit to the Norwegian ambassador's residence in Washington to pay his condolences over the killings in Norway.[01:03.29]The president wrote in a condolences book that he was heartbroken at the tragic loss of so many young lives.[01:09.86]The Moroccan army says 78 people were killed when a military transport plane crashed into a mountain in the south of the country,[01:18.18] Just north of the disputed Western Sahara territory. Here's Norah Fahim in Rabat.[01:23.52]The Hercules C-130 crashed this morning into a mountain near the town Guelmim, in the south of Morocco. [01:31.08]According to Morocco's official news agency, the MAP, the plane was carrying 81 people and only three have survived.[01:38.78]The plane came from Dakhla and was heading towards Kinitra, a town right outside Morocco's capital Rabat.[01:45.07]Some of the soldiers on board were due to meet King Mohammed this Saturday to celebrate his 12th year as king.[01:52.62]The official Egyptian news agency says that the former President Hosni Mubarak is weak and refusing solid food.[01:59.14]The report comes a week before he's due to stand trial, accused of ordering the killing of protesters. From Cairo,Jon Leyne.[02:06.72]The report said Mr Mubarak's doctors would decide in the coming hours how to proceed as his current food intake was not enough to keep him alive.[02:14.66]Opposition supporters are sceptical about reports on Hosni Mubarak's health.[02:18.89]They believe the authorities are just trying to avoid him going on trial as scheduled next week. [02:24.54]At the same time, there does seem growing evidence that he is an increasingly enfeebled old man.[02:29.93]A United Nations fact-finding mission in Libyasays the health service in the capital Tripoli is under growing strain[02:37.07]As Nato's bombing campaign against Colonel Gaddafi continues.[02:41.32]The UN mission says medical supplies including vaccines are running low and most foreign medical staff have left the city.[02:48.55]It says some areas of Tripoli are experiencing electricity cuts. There are long queues at petrol stations,[02:54.16]And Libyan oil experts say fuel stocks could run out in two weeks' time.[02:58.44]BBC News[03:00.20]The Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has said he will ask parliament to amend the constitution so that presidents will serve a single longer term in office. [03:11.11]The Nigerian constitution currently limits presidents to two four-year terms.[03:16.02]Mr Jona than has not said how long the new term should be, but he says the change will focus politiciansmore on governance and less on re-election.[03:25.04]The United States has suspended a $350m aid programme to Malawi because of concerns that the government there is becoming increasingly authoritarian. [03:35.46]The American aid package was intended to improve Malawi's electricity network, but it's dependent on a commitment to good governance.[03:43.32]Recent suppression of anti-government protests has left 19 people dead in Malawi.[03:48.80]Mexican officials say at least 17 people have been killed and another four injured in an armed clash in a prison in the northern city of Ciudad Juarez.[03:58.22]A spokesman for the city's authorities told the BBC that one group of prisoners attacked inmates from a rival drug gang on Monday night,[04:05.91]Using weapons they'd seized from guards.[04:08.22]The Colombian salsa star Joe Arroyo has died at the age of 55 after being in hospital for nearly a month with lung and kidney problems.[04:18.37]Arroyo, who's most famous for the hit La Rebelion, began singing in brothels in the Caribbean city of Cartagena at the age of eight.[04:26.30]From Bogota, Arturo Wallace reports.[04:28.98]For Colombians, he was simply the greatest, and it's difficult to imagine a single Latin American not having danced at least once to one of his many hits.

BBC新闻讲解附字幕:IMF警告美国尽快解决债务危机(2011-07-29)第一部分：听力文本BBC News with Marion MarshallAbout100,000people have gathered in the centre of the Norwegian capital Oslo to remember victims of the attacks,which killed76people on Friday.Many carried flowers;others hugged each other as they sang hymns.From Oslo,Steve Evans.Tens of thousands of people,or one estimated100,000people,have been walking quietly through the streets of Oslo.Most are carrying flowers,and occasionally they hold them aloft as though they are torches.People are congregating at the edge of the cordoned-off zone where the bomb shatter ed buildings,though the barriers have been moved back through the day,leaving a small remaining cordoned area of the worst damage in the city centre.Many more people are congregating at the cathedral in a dense quiet mass of people.Norwegian police are now investigating the possibility of a wider plot after the man accused of carrying out the attacks,Anders Behring Breivik,told a court he was part of a network,including two other cells.The Prime Minister of Norway,Jens Stoltenberg,has said he believes Norway will be changed by Friday's killings,but it will remain an open and democratic society.Speaking to the BBC,Mr Stoltenberg said he'd been due to speak at the island youth camp the day after the shootings and knew personally some of those who were killed or wounded."I knew many of them,and I also knew many of the parents,relatives,friends of those who died. People in Norway are in deep grief.They are still shocked.But we also see a Norway which is very unified and where people are standing together to comfort each other and to take care of each other."The International Monetary Fund has warned the United States that it must resolve its debt crisis quickly or risk a severe shock to the American economy.The IMF said that if American lawmakers failed to agree a new debt ceiling by next week,it would also affect global financial markets.From Washington,Mark Mardell has more.America is this close to the brink because of the ideological chasm between President Obama's Democrats and the newly reinvigorated Republicans,who are in control of the House of Representatives after last year's mid-term elections.Many of the new Republican members were backed by the economically conservative Tea Party movement and campaigned promising to deal with America's ballooning debt and what they see as bloated government spending.Most expect a last-minute deal will be done,but it won't be easy when the system means the two parties have to agree and the political reality is there's very little common ground.President Obama has announced a new strategy to combat international organised crime,saying it represents a growing threat to the United States and its allies.In an executive order,Mr Obama imposed economic sanctions including an asset freeze on four criminal groups:the Italian Camorra,the Japanese Yakuza,the Mexican drugs cartel Los Zetas and the Brothers'Circle,based largely across the former Soviet Union.BBC NewsFlooding in eastern Ghana has forced about10,000people to flee from their homes and has left four people dead.A regional disaster coordination official described the situation as"getting outof hand".He said the Birim River in the eastern region had burst its banks.Several of the main organisers of last week's anti-government protests in Malawi have gone into hiding.Nineteen people were killed in violence as security forces were deployed during demonstrations against the high cost of living.President Bingu wa Mutharika said he would,as he put it,"smoke out"the organisers if they returned to the streets.But one has told the BBC that activists will not be intimidate d.The Vatican has taken the rare step of recalling its ambassador to Ireland amid unprecedented tension with the Irish government over the issue of child abuse by Roman Catholic priests.It follows strong criticism of the Church by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny after a report was published accusing the Church of sabotag ing an investigation into the rape of children.Our Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson reports.The historic bond between the Irish government and the Vatican is no more.In fact,where once there was affection,there's now a confrontation.The unprecedented attack on the Church last week by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny was designed to provoke a response.The Vatican is taking its time before doing so.But by recalling its papal nuncio from Dublin in order to take part in consultations in Rome,it is publicly recognising the seriousness of the situation.The Turkish Football Federation has delayed the start of the new season for five weeks while investigations continue into match-fixing allegations involving some of the country's leading clubs. The first game in Turkey's top league will now be played on9September.More than30people have been remanded in custody,including the chairman of the champions Fenerbahce.BBC World Service News提示：文本转自普特听力论坛第二部分：参考翻译大约100,000人聚集在挪威首都奥斯陆中心，纪念在周五的袭击中遇难的76人。

Police fired tear gas at demonstrators who hurled stones, petrol bombs and flares. Several buildings were set ablaze. One person at the demonstrations, Thomas Lamaris, explained why he was protesting."Mainly we're against our politicians. They decide for us without asking us. They don't make elections. They don't make the referendum. They don't give a damn about the people."Parliament is expected to vote in the next few hours on further budget cuts needed if Greece is to secure billions of dollars more in bailout money from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. Mark Lowen, in Athens, sent this assessment.In reality, the bailout package is likely to pass because the coalition commands a large majority of MPs inside the parliamentary chamber, so even if there is a rebellion of sorts, it will probably still win the majority approval. But all eyes really among Europe are on Athens tonight because if Greece were to declare bankruptcy, to potentially leave the euro, then the whole ideological basis of the European project could start to unravel. This is where Europe's sovereign debt crisis began about two years ago, and once again tonight, Athens is taking centre stage.在希腊雅典，议员们就新一轮紧缩政策进行辩论之时，警察和抗议者在国会外面发生冲突。

And I've spoken to witnesses who were at the scene, and they say they've seen bodies being carried out. So far, the sources within the ministry are telling me 11 people have been killed in the attack, but I still can't confirm that because the place has been cordon ed off by police and the ambulance services which are there.The man who's refusing to step down as president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has said the country could face greater violence if he were removed from office. The international communityis demanding that he hand over power to his rival Alassane Ouattara, who's believed to have won the election. Speaking to the Euronews television channel, Mr Gbagbo indicated he might consider resigning if the regional group Ecowas were to intervene militarily to try to remove him."I will see, but it's not on the agenda for the moment. What's on the agenda is to negotiate, so we are negotiating. I ask myself why those who pretend to have beaten me oppose a recount of votes.That's what I want to know. I ask those people to support a recount."The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says she has warned senior Ivorian officials including Mr Gbagbo that they could be held criminally accountable for human rights violations in Ivory Coast. The UN has accused security forces loyal to Mr Gbagbo of killing and abducting people associated with the opposition. It says officials have been unable toinvestigate allegations of atrocities including at least two mass graves.In Australia, thousands more people are getting ready to evacuate their homes in the northeastern state of Queensland, where some of the worst flooding in half a century has affected more than a million square metres of territory. In the town of Rockhampton, the Mayor Brad Carter described what the emergency services were facing."We are going to have a very tough situation whereby we may have to use only indisaster,processes of forced evacuations, and this is a very difficult issue. As you can appreciate, you can have, for example, some very elderly people that are very reluctant to leave their home, and for their own safety and goodwill, we will have to look at ways and means of relocating them, and we hope that that these are isolated and extreme cases."Rescue workers in southern Egypt say they've recovered the bodies of 11 children who were on board a bus swept away by floods on Wednesday. The bus was carrying 75 children and teachers returning home after dark from a school outing when it was dragged into a sand-filled trench by the water. More than 60 managed to escape with minor injuries, but an ambulance driver who'd helped rescue some of the girls was killed. World News from the BBCOn his last full day in office, the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has decided not to extradite a former left-wing militant to Italy.

Italy has recalled its ambassador to Brazil in protest at President Lula's decision. The former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has appeared for further questioning by prosecutors investigating allegations of abuse of power. In a BBC interview, she again accusedPresident Viktor Yanukovych of being behind the charges so as to destroy political opponents. The army in Bolivia has begun selling bread in response to a strike by bakers angry at the government's decision to scrap fuel subsidies. Loaves baked in military ovens are being sold by troops from 12 locations in the city of La Paz and El Alto. The Bolivian government says the aim is to prevent shortages and counter a threat by bakers to raise bread prices. Mass protests against the fuel price hike, suspended for the New Year's weekend, are expected to resume on Monday. And the 19th century Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid has been denied a pardon 130 years after his death. The possibility was first suggested when historical documents appeared to show that Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon in return for testifying in a murder case. Ann Busby reports. Billy the Kid, whose real name was William Bonney, was only 21 when he was shot dead, but his brief life inspired dozens of books and films. It's not clear how many people he killed; some say more than 20. But his undoubted skill with a gun and his personal charm made him more of a folk hero than a notorious criminal. Supporters campaigned for a pardon, but the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson has refused one after extensive research. "The romanticism appealed tome," he said, "but the evidence didn't support the idea." BBC News第二部分：参考翻译尼日利亚首都阿布贾一座军营附近的市场内一枚炸弹爆炸，造成多人死亡。

Mr Obama is due to make a televised address to the American people in a few hours, and he told the troops what they could expect to hear."It's not gonna be a victory lap, it's not gonna be self-congratulatory. There’s still a lot of work that we’ve got to do to make sure that Iraq is an effective partner with us. But the fact of the matter is that because of the extraordinary service that all of you have done, Iraq has an opportunity to create a better future for itself, and America is more secure."Just under 50,000 American troops will remain in Iraq in what's been called an “advis ory and assistance” role until the end of next year.The Israeli security forces say four Israelis have been killed in a gun attack in the West Bank. The Israeli Defence Minister, Ehud Barak, said the shooting was a deliberate attempt to sabotage the relaunch of Middle East peace talks in Washington on Thursday. From Jerusalem, here is William Davis.According to Israeli police, the car was travelling near to the Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba in the occupied West Bank when it came under fire from an unidentified gunman. Ambulance workers said that all four people in the car, two men and two women, were killed. Other reports said one of the women had been pregnant.

Both men were heading to Yemen, although they do not appear to have been travelling together. One of the men had missed an earlier connecting flight to Washington D.C.. When his luggage had been searched in the US, it was found to contain mobile phones taped together, as well as watches taped together and also a knife, items which were considered suspicious.

A version of the UN report leaked last week alleges that Rwandan Tutsi troops and their allies killed tens of thousands of Hutus in the DRC. Rwanda’s foreign minister, Louise Mushikiwabo, said Rwanda would retaliate if the UN published the report."This is not a decision we've taken without reflection, we've thought about this very carefully. We don't take it lightly as some people have said that we are trying to blackmail the United Nations, and we don't. We are considering pulling our troops out of peacekeeping operations starting with Darfur, and we have instructed our force commander to start making contingency plans."The former Cuban President Fidel Castro has said that he was ultimately responsible for the persecution of homosexuals in the years following the revolution of 1959. In a lengthy interview published in a Mexican newspaper, Mr Castro said the persecution had been a great injustice. But he said that in the early years of the revolution, he had too many other problems to deal with, like surviving plots against his life. Cuban homosexuals were sometimes sent to so-called “re-education camps” in the 1960s. Homosexuality was decrim inalised in Cuba in 1979.France has described as “unacceptable” what it says are insults in the Iranian media aimed at the French first lady, Carla Bruni Sarkozy. One newspaper had denounced her as “prostitute” after she’d publicly criticised Iran for th reatening to stone a woman to death.
