BBC双语新闻讲解附字幕:对薇拉·布里顿回忆录的思考听力文本On this day in 1920 the United States voted not to join the League of Nations that had emerged out of the ‘never again’tide of feeling that accompanied the end of the First World War. Although President Woodrow Wilson had been appalled at the scale of human suffering he had seen, the increasingly isolationist tendencies of the US meant that the first organisation with an international peace agenda began its life without one of its potentially most powerful members.One of the early supporters of the League of Nations was Vera Brittain, whose classic memoir of the Great War, ‘Testament of Youth’, was released as a film on 16 January. Having read a review that found it sentimental I went to see it on Friday with mixed expectations.The film is primarily, like Brittain’s book, a commemoration of the lives and deaths of the young men whom she had loved and lost rather than an attempt to make a contemporary point. But the act of remembrance itself, can be a subversive and not just a sentimental act. Urged to forget and move on by those around her, Vera determined not only that she would not forget these young men, but that she would not forget what she herself had witnessed and learned as a V oluntary Nurse whilst at a military hospital in étaples.Confronted there with a hut full of German wounded Vera recognized, with shock, that these enemies were young men too, bleeding, suffering and dying far from home; the memory led to her initial support for the League of Nations, and in the face of the growing militarism of the 1930s, eventually to become one of the 20th century’s leading pacifists.As this month’s events in France continue to reverberate, and the release of the Guantanamo diaries raises inconvenient moral questions about western values, what we do with our memories is a key question. ‘Forgive and forget’is often not realistic, ignores the claims of justice, and is simply not safe, whilst the memory driven cycle of defending our own ‘high ground’runs the risk of causing more and more damage and of failing to see how our attitudes and actions –whoever we are - also need scrutiny.An alternative way to remember is offered by Miroslav V olf, a Croat theologian, writing out of the Balkan conflict of the 1990s. What he offers is a twofold way of remembering –a remembrance of harm done to us and ours that honours real anxiety and protects the vulnerable, but a remembrance which also honours the humanity of our enemies –a remembrance that restrains our desire for vengeance, opens up space for the scrutiny of our own actions, and constrains us to work for thereconciliation of all peoples –even if that day is beyond our sight.The League of Nations failed for lots of reasons, and was succeeded by a variety of international institutions, but it did hold out a vision of common humanity in the years after the Great War. Who, or what, now, amidst ricocheting fears and outrages, might we allow, not to help us forget, nor even just to remember, but to remember well?词汇解释1.appalled adj. 惊骇的；丧胆的She said that the Americans are appalled at the statements made at the conference.她说美国人对在该大会中作的声明感到震惊。

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。

警方击毙法国杀人男子BBC News with Jonathan IzardThe man who said he killed seven people in al-Qaeda-inspired attacks in France has been shot dead by a police marksman. Mohammed Merah was hiding in the bathroom of his apartment in Toulouse when commandos broke in after a 30-hour siege. A French prosecutor said he fired more than 30 bullets at them before being killed. Our correspondent Christian Fraser reports from Toulouse.The final acts of the most dramatic siege that had lasted over 30 hours. It was thought Mohammed Merah had taken his own life in the early hours of this morning. But as elite commandos moved in to clear the apartment, picking their way through each room with fibre-optic cameras, the gunman suddenly appeared at the bathroom door. There was an intense shoot-out. Merah advanced wearing a bullet-proof vest, firing wildly before he jumped out of the window. But outside was a police marksman who shot him dead.国际社会纷纷谴责马里军队President Sarkozy said French Muslims must not be stigmatised because of the gunman's actions.There's been international condemnation of Malian troops who've overthrown the government of President Amadou Toumani Toure. A rebel spokesman said the soldiers would return the country to democracy as soon as national unity and integrity were assured. The United States joined France and the African Union in denouncing the coup. The American position was expressed by the State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland."The United States condemns the military seizure of power in Mali. We echo the statements of the African Union, of Ecowas and of other international partners in denouncing these actions. We've called for calm; we've called for restoration of the civilian government under constitutional rule without delay so that the elections can proceed as scheduled."油轮残骸中发现遇难者遗体Five more bodies have been found inside the wreck of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which capsized in January off the coast of Italy. A spokeswoman for the Italian Civil Protection Agency said this raised the confirmed number of dead to 30. From Rome, here's Alan Johnston.It's more than two months now since the Costa Concordia sank off the island of Giglio. But still the hunt for the missing goes on. And in the course of the afternoon, those overseeing the search announced that they discovered three bodies. But first, they were said to be in a very inaccessible part of the hull. But later, it emerged that in fact the remains have been found just outside the wreck, trapped between it and the rocks of the seabed. Then, late in the evening, it was announced that a further two bodies had been discovered in the same area.叙利亚政府军被指杀害逃亡难民The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a resolution calling on Sri Lanka to investigate war crimes allegedly committed during its long conflict with Tamil Tiger rebels. Sri Lanka campaigned hard against the vote, saying it would usurp its sovereignty. But the United States said Sri Lanka was not doing enough to hold those responsible for violations to account.World News from the BBCActivists say government forces in Syria have killed 10 people who were trying to escape to a refugee camp in Turkey. They say the victims, including three children, were travelling on a bus when it came under fire in Idlib province. Violence continued in many parts of Syria despite Wednesday's UN Security Council statement urging the withdrawal of troops from population centres.足球暴力引发巨大冲突Clashes resumed in the Egyptian city of Port Said after the funeral of a teenager who died in football-related violence. The first trouble began on Friday after the Port Said football club al-Masry was suspended for two years over a post-match riot last month in which more than 70 people were killed.The leader of the military coup in Mali has told the BBC he's in complete control of the country. Captain Amadou Sanogo said he had no fear of a counter coup. But a BBC correspondent in the region says it's not clear how much support the captain has among high-ranking commanders. Tuareg rebels have taken advantage of the uncertainty to seize positions in the north. Captain Sanogo said he wanted peace talks with them.土耳其15名女武装分子丧生The Turkish government says 15 Kurdish militants, all of them women, have been killed in fighting with the security forces. The clashes took place in the southeastern province of Bitlis, which is a centre of the banned PKK militants. Jonathan Head is in Istanbul.As many as one third of the PKK's fighting force are women - a legacy of the group's one-time Marxist ideology, which prioritised the raising of women's status in Kurdish society. So women casualties are not unusual, but for 15 women to be killed in a single clash certainly is. The Turkish interior ministry is giving few details of the incident. It occurred in Bitlis, a province known for strong PKK support, during a large-scale military operation against the organisation in the mountains bordering Iraq.北京空气污染清理周期长The authorities in Beijing say it'll be at least two decades before they get the Chinese capital's air pollution under control. Beijing came close to the bottom of a recent listof the world's most polluted cities. Charles Scanlon reports.The city authorities in Beijing have been stunned by a wave of criticism of the accuracy of their pollution figures. They are now trying to convince the sceptical public that they have a credible plan to tackle the problem. The vice-mayor Hong Feng said the best the city could hope for was to have air pollution under control within the next 20 years. He said that would include one of the biggest threats to health - the tiny particles in the air that until a recent controversy were not even measured by the Beijing authorities.失踪渔船神奇再现Charles Scanlon reportingA Japanese fishing boat swept away by last year's earthquake and tsunami has been spotted adrift off the west coast of Canada. No one is believed to be on board the ship, which is still intact but badly rusted. However, the Canadian transport ministry is monitoring it for pollution. The vessel was registered in Hokkaido in Japan.Those are the latest stories from BBC News.美加强对伊朗石油制裁力度The United States is preparing to increase oil sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme. President Obama has issued a statement saying there was enough oil on the world market to allow a significant reduction in purchases from Iran. Paul Adams reports from Washington.After June, financial institutions that continue to buy oil through Iran's central bank, where almost all such transactions are processed, will face sanctions. White House officials say the president decided to issue his statement after careful consideration of a number of factors, including global economic trends, supply and demand for non-Iranian oil, as well as spare capacity. There are exceptions: the US has already granted waivers to 10 EU countries and Japan because they've taken steps of theirown.安南希叙利亚政府立即停火The international envoy Kofi Annan says he expects the Syrian government to implement an agreed ceasefire immediately. A spokesman for Mr Annan said he wanted the authorities to halt the use of heavy weaponry in towns and withdraw soldiers to barracks because then the opposition would respond. Correspondents say there's no sign yet that the government is in the mood to make gestures to the opposition. There was more heavy bombardment in Homs and other places during the day.The Spanish government has announced spending cuts of more than $36bn to try to reduce its deficit and strengthen the economy. The deputy prime minister called the budget proposal severely austere, but essential. Here's Tom Burridge.海地首都爆发泥石流后果严重Six people have died in Haiti after heavy rains caused a mudslide which destroyed homes in the capital Port-au-Prince. An official with Haiti's civil protection agency said the mudslide occurred in Morne Calvaire - a slum area on a hillside. There have been two weeks of heavy rain in Haiti, triggering repeated flooding and landslides after the rainy season started early.Football's world governing body Fifa has agreed new anti-corruption reforms after independent experts issued a scathing assessment of its investigations into earlier scandals. They called Fifa's handling of bribery claims "unsatisfactory" and "unconvincing". Fifa's reputation was hit by claims of bribery and vote rigging during Mr Blatter's re-election last year and during the contests to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals.The Brazilian police have detained 77 people and confiscated an arsenal of weaponsin a major operation against drugs traffickers. More than 600 police were involved in the operation. Here's Warren Bull.Police in Brazil say this is the largest operation they've ever launched in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. In a series of raids in the city of Sao Borja, they seized weapons, money, vehicles and quantities of cocaine and marijuana. The police chief heading the operation said up to 13 different drug gangs had been identified in the city, including one with 40 members. Sao Borja is on the main transit route for drugs and contraband between Brazil and the neighbouring countries - Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.塔利班向阿富汗发动袭击BBC News with Marion MarshallTaliban militants have carried out a series of attacks in the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul. Nato bases, the parliament and Western embassies all came under fire. Afghan security forces are still trying to clear heavily armed insurgents from several areas. The first explosions were in the morning, and exchanges of gunfire continued after nightfall. The Afghan government said a number of gunmen had been killed, but no civilians or members of the security forces. A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, explained the motivation behind the attacks.潘基文对叙利亚表示担忧"These attacks were revenge for the brutal actions of foreigners, such as urinating on Taliban dead bodies, Koran burnings at Bagram airbase and killing of innocent civilians in Kandahar. This was one of the biggest attacks in terms of size so far this year, and it is still underway."The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says he's concerned about the shelling of the Syrian city of Homs as more fighting was reported involving government forces and rebels. Earlier, a spokesman for the UN envoy Kofi Annan asked all sides to observe a ceasefire which came into force last Thursday. Ahmad Fawzi told the BBC that the truce was precarious and fragile, but it could save Syria from plunging back into the abyss as he put it.联合国对停火协议提出要求"Both parties must be willing to end the violence and come to the negotiating table. We hope both sides will realise that this is a golden opportunity for them to put down their arms and to start talking. Negotiations are the only way out of this bloody crisis that has lasted for one year."Their appeals come as UN ceasefire observers began to arrive in the country.The United Nations has confirmed that at least one person has been killed by a Sudanese bombing raid on South Sudan. The local authorities say nine were killed and 24 wounded in different air attacks, and ground clashes are also reported. James Copnall reports from Khartoum.North Korea Missile Launch Failure: New Threats?The latest on that failed missile test by North Korea and a surprise the government was supposed to make the set back on state TV. ABC's * is tracking from WashingtonMartha, and Pentagon and all of Asia on high alert for this test but it turned out to be another dud.A totally dud. It was all over so quickly, George, that rocket was air-born for 81 seconds. The missile lifted up with no sign of trouble but right after the first stage boosted rocket, which pushes the rocket higher and faster. The missile just broke apart in flight. The debris fell into waters about 100 miles west of Soul, South Korea. It was over.It sure was Martha. And there's a lot of concern now though that to make up for the embarrassment, North Korea is gonna plough and actually try to test a nuclear bomb. That is a concern. It's the first time ever that the North Korea said it acknowledged the failure of the rocket. So that was a big surprise to the administration, but there wre already fears that North Koreans would try to test another nuclear device, this time a uranium device, so everyone is bracing themselves for that development, George. They do not think this is over yet.And the administration was hoping to have a new * in North Korea now that they have a new leader, they were offering food aid if North Korea didn't test this missile now. That's completely odd.Yes. They basically completely reneged on this deal, so this is an embarrassment for the administration as well, but everyone is moving on-ward and looking to that nuclear device test which they think will come in the next few weeks.Ok. Martha . Thanks very much.This post was generated by put listening repetition system, Check the original dictation thread!U.S. Bridges, Roads Being Built by Chinese FirmsAnd as you know, ABC News is always looking for ways to bring American jobs back to America. So, this week, it was shocking to learn so many great infrastructure projects are under way in America, rebuilding bridges and roads in American cities, but they've hired Chinese firms and Chinese workers. Why?20/20" anchor Chris Cuomo is the captain of our bringing America back team and he decided to track down those people who made these decisions.Rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure is now a priority.Help us rebuild this bridge, help us rebuild America, help us put construction workers back to work.In New York, a $400 million renovation of Alexander Hamilton Bridge;In California, a whopper, a $7.2 billion new bridge to connect San Francisco and Oakland; In Alaska, a proposed $190 million bridge project.Sounds like a great opportunity for government spending to actually lead to real jobs. The problem: Much of the work is going to Chinese government-owned contracting firms.When we're subsidizing jobs in China, we're not creating any wealth in the United States.In Alaska, outraged union workers took to the airwaves with an obvious point : This is not the time to send more jobs to China, our tax dollars provide hundreds of jobs there, not at home.US law actually requires major infrastructure projects to buy America when the cost difference is reasonable. In California, US firms say they would have met those guidelines but state officials decided to turn down federal money for a major part of the bridge, allowing a Chinese company at cost of almost 3,000 American jobs, and potential $1 billion boost to the struggling California economy.It would've had a multiplying effect, because it would have not only given thousands of Californians jobs ,but also the subsequent spending would have been reinvested back in our economy.Is this the best way to bring America back?We went to Californian officials who claimed the Chinese could do the work faster and cheaper.Why can't the Americans do it as quickly as Chinese, what makes them so special? One issue that you will consistently hear, every time you go to a fabrication site this country is that they struggle at this point in time to obtain welders. That is an issue in this country.So can you say that you guys have done everything you can to keep jobs here and building this bridge?Absolutely.But would American companies have done it, Chris, for a little less money and triedto race it along.The US firms say absolutely. They say they could have done this job. And there's a bigger point here. It's not a level playing field, the Chinese firms are state-owned. They don't pay their workers as much. That's why the Buy America laws were passed, if states can get around them, Diane, we never bring America back, you have to enforce the laws to let American companies play.美国参议院共和党参议员几乎集体“否决”了总统奥巴马的“准竞选纲领”的法案——巴菲特规则议案。

BBC News with David Austin.The leaders of two of Britain’s main parties, the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats, are discussing whether they can form a coalition government, following Thursday's inconclusive general election. The Conservative leader David Cameron whose party won most seats but fell short of the majority has approached the Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg. Here is Ross Hawkins.David Cameron said he wanted to make a big, open and comprehensive offer to the Liberal Democrats. Direct discussions between him and Nick Clegg about that offer began with a phone call this afternoon, described as very constructive but in which there was no real discussion of detail. Mr. Cameron has offered a committee of inquiry on an electoral reform. Many Lib Dems wanta firmer commitment to changing the way elections are run before making any sort of agreement. And if the current negotiations fail, the Liberal Democrats could yet end up talking to Labor.With all the results from the seats contested on Thursday now in, the Conservatives have won 306 with Labor taking 258. The Liberal Democrats ended on 57.The main European stock markets have closed sharply lower after a week in which share prices were hit by worries of the Greek economy and the amount of debt owed by some European governments. In the United States the main stock market indexes also closed lower. Duncan Bartlett reports.Friday afternoon saw dramatic falls in share prices throughout Europe. At one point it seemed that shares were almost in the state of free fall. But most of the major stock exchanges recovered somewhat before the close of trading. Naturally the uncertainty of the UK election result was a factor in London, but elsewhere traders are much more worried about the way in which banks have been lending money to European governments.Trust between the banks is at risk and that has led to fears that the system may seize up as it did in 2008.Leaders of the 16 countries that use the European single currency the euro have been meeting in Brussels to discuss how to prevent the Greek financial crisis spreading. The value of the Euro has fallen on fears that countries such as Spain and Portugal could suffer similar problems. This report from Johnny Diamond.This emergency summit of Eurozone leaders should be a formality. All week cabinets and parliaments across the 16 countries that use the Euro have been passing legislation necessary to extend a 145-billion-dollar loan to Greece. Now presidents and prime ministers have come to Brussels to sign off the deal. There will be no formal conclusionsto the gathering that would any come in full meeting of European Union leaders. But the statement that emerges at the end of the summit will be watched for any detail as to how the Eurozone intends to change its economic governance following the most tumultuous moments in the Euro's history. Johnny Diamond reporting.This is the World News from the BCC.Engineers have been lowering a giant container to the seabed in the Gulf of Mexico in an attempt to capture oil gushing from a blown-out well. The company that operates the site, BP hopes that the device will be operational by Mondayand will trap about 85% of the oil leaking out. Rajesh Mirchandani has more.The delicate process has begun to lower the 100-ton container and secure it directly on top of the leaking well more than 1,500 meters down. It has never been tried at such depth and there is no guarantee of the work. A surface slick covering thousands of square kilometres has formed since last month when the Deepwater Horizon rig exploded,killing 11 workers.Oil has now come ashore on a few remote islands. Some birds covered in it have been found.A court in Russia has imposed a 5-year jail sentence on a man accused of hijacking a Russian crude cargo ship which went missing for several weeks in mysterious circumstances last year. The Moscow Court convicted Andrea Luniav, an Estonian resident, of piracy. He was one of8 people accused of seizing the vessel the Arctic Sea in July as it sailed near Sweden. Moscow has denied the allegations that the ship was in fact carrying weapons to Iran and that the official story of piracy was a cover to avoid diplomatic embarrassment.The South African police commissioner Becky Taily has said he is praying for the United States' football team to beknocked out of the World Cup quickly, so that police won't have to face the security challenge of a visit by President Obama. Mr. Taily told parliamentary committee on Friday he had been told that President Obama might fly into South Africa for a match if the US team reached second or third rounds.Police in Iran are reported to have arrested 80 young men and women for attending an illegal concert. The Teheran chief prosecutor was quoted in Iranian media as saying that revelers have been indulging in what he termed "lustful,pleasure-seeking activities."And that's the latest BBC News.经过周四不确定的大选之后，英国两大主要政党，保守党和自由民主党领袖正在讨论他们是否可以组成联合政府。

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。

BBC新闻讲解附字幕:澳洲遭遇半世纪最严重洪水(2011-01-4)BBC News with Nick KellyA bomb has exploded in a market close to a military barrack s in the Nigerian capital Abuja, killing a number of people. Our correspondent Tomi Oladipo has the latest details.It's in an area which is a market, which has a bar, an open-air bar, where people come to drink. 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. Cesare Battisti escaped from an Italian jail nearly 30 years ago while awaiting trial and eventually fled to Brazil. In his absence, he was convicted of four murders. 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。
