Cameron says cabinet reshuffle reflects "modern Britain"
卡梅伦称内阁重组反映英国现代化
British Prime Minister David Cameron is getting a new team, after a major cabinet reshuffle. Among the appointees -- Euroskeptics and women. The shake-up comes ahead of a national election next May. This was Cameron on Tuesday.
英国首相卡梅伦进行重大的内阁重组后获得了新的团队。被委任者包括欧洲怀疑论者和女性。这次大改组发生在明年五月份的全国选举之前。下面是周二卡梅伦的讲话。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) BRITISH PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, SAYING: "Well I think it is a team that reflects modern Britain and it's only by reflecting all of modern Britain that we'll get the best for our country and I'm very proud of the fact that great talent has come through the Conservative ranks and you now see Conservative women occupying posts like Home Secretary, Education Secretary, Agriculture Secretary, Development Secretary, vitals jobs with really good people, doing their jobs to secure the future of this country and I'm very proud of that."
英国首相卡梅伦：“我认为这个团队可以反映现代化的英国，只有通过反映现代化的英国，我们才能使国家走上最好的道路，我非常自豪，新的团队突破了保守党的圈子，你现在可以看到保守派女性担任内政大臣，教育大臣，农业大臣，发展大臣等职位，这些都是非常重要的岗位，也是由非常出色的人才来担任，可以确保国家的未来更加美好，对此我感到非常自豪。”
One of the big surprises was William Hague's resignation as foreign secretary. Defense Minister Philip Hammond -- a known Euroskeptic -- will take his place. Hague welcomed the new appointment.
其中出人意料的一点就是威廉·黑格辞去外交大臣一职。国防大臣菲利普·哈蒙德——一位欧洲怀疑论者——将取代他的职位。黑格对新的任命表示欢迎。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OUTGOING BRITISH FOREIGN SECRETARY, WILLIAM HAGUE, SAYING: "We're very clear and united on Europe and Philip Hammond, David Cameron and I all have exactly the same policy on Europe. We want to improve Britain's relationship with the EU and then hold a referendum on staying in or leaving the European Union. We're all committed to that, the Conservative Party is more united on this issue than it has been actually in the whole time that I've been in politics, in all that long time. So we're all going to be campaigning for that and I know Philip Hammond is going to be committed to that."
即将卸任的英国外交大臣威廉·黑格：“关于欧洲问题，我们的立场非常明确，非常团结，菲利普·哈蒙德，卡梅伦和我对于欧洲持有相同的政见。我们希望改善英国与欧盟的关系，关于离开还是继续留在欧盟，我们将举行全民公投。我们都坚持这一点，保守党在这个问题上前所未有的团结。所以，我们将为此而宣传，我知道菲利普·哈蒙德也将坚持这一点。”
Another big surprise was Cameron's decision to sack a longstanding ally, Education Secretary Michael Gove. His radical school reforms had provoked anger among teachers. As for women politicians, they will now make up six of the 23-person Cabinet -- up from three of 22 before.
出人意料的另外一点是卡梅伦决定解雇其长期盟友，教育大臣迈克尔·戈夫。他对学校进行的彻底改革引发教师的愤怒。关于女性政客方面，她们在23人的内阁中占据6个席位，比此前的22人中占据3人有所增加。

Ukrainian PM tours former rebel-held city of Slaviansk
乌克兰总理走访斯拉维扬斯克
The destruction in Slaviansk is everywhere. Months of fighting between Ukrainian forces and pro-Russian rebels left much of the city in ruins. Now that the government is in control, it's time to rebuild. And it's starting with a visit by Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseny Yatseniuk. The official comes offering help to those whose lives have been shattered by
斯拉维扬斯克到处遭到破坏。乌克兰军队和亲俄叛军之间数月的战争导致该城市大部成为废墟。现在政府重新控制，到了重建的时刻，乌克兰总理亚采纽克(Arseny Yatseniuk)走访了这座城市。这位官员的到来是为了给那些生活被暴力活动破坏的人提供帮助。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UKRAINIAN PRIME MINISTER, ARSENY YATSENIUK, SAYING: "Our assistance is payment of pensions, salaries, all social subsidies and billions of hryvna that we must invest now to renovate the city. Let's deal with it. We've started paying salaries. We've started paying pensions. We've started paying allowances. We've started construction."
乌克兰总理亚采纽克(Arseny Yatseniuk)：“我们的援助是支付养老金，薪资，所有社会补助和用来投资复兴该城市的数十亿格里夫纳。让我们来处理这些问题。我们已经开始支付薪资。我们已经开始支付养老金。我们已经开始支付津贴。我们已经开始建设。”

(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UKRAINIAN PRIME MINISTER, ARSENY YATSENIUK, SAYING: "Russia's politics is absolutely clear for me. On the one hand, they created the military conflict here. They, like vampires, suck money from us and kill our people. That is the most important thing. On the other hand, they are creating the economic destabilization."
乌克兰总理亚采纽克(Arseny Yatseniuk)：“俄罗斯的政治对我来说非常明显。一方面，他们在这里制造军事冲突。他们就像吸血鬼，吮吸我们的金钱，杀害我们的民众。这是最重要的。另一方面，他们制造经济动乱。”

基辅发生了亲欧洲的反叛活动之后，乌克兰说俄语的东部爆发了暴力活动。二月份，基辅反叛活动推翻了莫斯科支持的总统，导致俄罗斯吞并克里米亚。
路透社财经:“金砖”拟设1000亿美元应急基金
BRICS $100bln bid for bigger say
“金砖”拟设1000亿美元应急基金
They account for almost half the world's population. And now leaders of the emerging BRICS nations have signed a deal to launch their own development bank. It's aimed at funding infrastructure projects in developing nations. Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff outlined the plan at a summit in Brazil. (SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) BRAZILIAN PRESIDENT DILMA ROUSSEFF, SAYING: "The new BRICS development bank should have an initial authorized capital of $100 billion. An initial subscribed capital of $50 billion equally distributed between its founding members, the five BRICS countries. The first leader of the board of governors will be from Russia. The first leader of the board of directors will be from Brazil. The first bank president will be from India. The first regional office will be in South Africa. And the bank's headquarters will be in Shanghai." The five nations also agreed to create a $100 billion currency reserves pool to help countries prevent short-term liquidity pressures. It's the first major achievement of the BRICS since they got together five years ago - seen as a step they want to take towards reshaping the Western-dominated financial system and major institutions like the World Bank and the IMF. Darren Sinden is from Silverwind Securities. (SOUNDBITE) (English) SENIOR SALES TRADER AT SILVERWIND SECURITIES, DARREN SINDEN, SAYING: "We saw something similar last year with the establishment of the South American development bank, and I think it's right that these giants of now and of the future should want to establish their own banking and monetary policy institutions to reflect the needs of their own growing economies." The BRICS took action following an exodus of capital from emerging markets last year, triggered by the scaling back of U.S. monetary stimulus. Russian President Vladimir Putin wants to take the union a step further. (SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING: "We suggest the setting up of an energy association of the BRICS. And we can also create a reserve fuel bank. And this could also consolidate our energy security." Negotiations over the headquarters and first presidency stretched into the eleventh hour due to differences between India and China. Brazil and India also fought China's attempts to get a bigger share in the lender. Stark differences between the BRICS nations have made it difficult for the group to agree on policies. But having finally got there, the bank is scheduled to start lending in 2016.
白宫发言:奥巴马强调应对气候变化
Remarks by the President at Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience Meeting
State Dining Room
2:24 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I want to thank everybody who has been participating in this very important task force. We’ve got governors, we’ve got mayors, local and tribal leaders. We’ve got Democrats and Republicans and independents from all the across the nation. And we are here because we know that climate change is an undeniable scientific fact.
And these leaders are here because states and communities that they represent are already dealing with the effects of climate change. They’re seeing rising sea levels, more powerful hurricanes, more intense heatwaves, severe droughts, and wildfires out west. So this is already happening, and these leaders understand that climate change is a threat to public safety, it’s a threat to public health and to something that we want to emphasize today -- the infrastructure upon which our economy depends. More severe storms and increased flooding threaten roads and bridges and businesses. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities and ports.
So climate change poses a direct threat to the infrastructure of America that we need to stay competitive in this 21st-century economy. That means that we should see this as an opportunity to do what we should be doing anyway, and that’s modernizing our infrastructure, modernizing our roads, modernizing our bridges, power grids, our transit systems, and making sure that they’re more resilient. That’s going to be good for commerce and it’s obviously going to be good for communities.
As a result of this need, I’ve put forward a plan to build our transportation infrastructure and it’s a key part of our Climate Action Plan -- making sure that we’ve got a smarter, more resilient infrastructure that can withstand the effects of climate change.
And today I’m announcing a series of new steps. We’re going to do more, including new data and 3D maps to help state, local officials in communities understand which areas and which infrastructure are at risk as a consequence of climate change. We’re going to help communities improve their electric grids, build stronger seawalls and natural barriers, and protect their water supplies. We’re also going to invest in stronger and more resilient infrastructure.
Last month, I announced a new competitive fund -- $1 billion -- to help communities do this. Today we’re taking steps to make sure that this competition will work. We’re going to announce the specifics about who can compete, how we can learn from communities that are rebuilding stronger from disasters like Hurricane Sandy and flooding in Colorado. We want the best ideas to become models for the whole country. And the idea of this competition is not just the communities that win a grant are able to improve their infrastructure but what we’re also going to be doing is hopefully lifting everybody’s game and making sure that people in their planning are thinking about these issues as they move forward.
So the bottom line is investing in our infrastructure, protecting our communities, ensuring the health and safety of our citizens -- none of this should be a partisan issue. This is something that Democrats, Republicans, independents all care about and the leaders who are sitting around this table prove that today and prove it every day.
And I want you to know that you have a partner in me, you have a partner in this administration, and I’m confident that, working together, we can take some common-sense steps to make sure that America’s infrastructure is safer, stronger and more resilient for future generations. At the same time as we are also tackling the broader problem of climate change and trying to slow the impact of that not just here but around the world.
So I very much appreciate the wonderful participation. I know that some great ideas have already come out of this. And I’m looking forward to continuing to work with this group in the future. Thank you very much.
