马里坠机遇难者遗体将运回法国
More French troops have arrived in Mali, where they will help in the Air Algerie plane crash investigation. Troops from a U.N. peacekeeping force have already secured the crash site, which sits near the Burkina Faso border. In France, President Francois Hollande met with the families of the crash victims. Afterwards, he said more challenges lie ahead.
更多法国军队抵达马里，帮助阿尔及利亚航空进行客机失事调查工作。来自联合国维和部队的力量已经保护好布基纳法索边境附近的失事地点。在法国，奥朗德总统会见了坠机遇难者的家属。随后，他表示还面临着更多挑战。

Israel, Hamas agree to 12-hour humanitarian truce
以色列哈马斯达成12小时休战协议
On the streets of Gaza City, evidence of conflict is glowing in the dark. An Israeli air strike hit this car, killing at least one Palestinian man, a local medic said. It's just the latest death hours before a 12-hour humanitarian truce takes effect. Israel and Hamas agreed to the truce, which Hamas said was brokered by the United Nations. It's unclear what effect it will have. Israeli officials said troops would keep searching for tunnels used by militants and would respond if fired upon. The 18 days of fighting have killed at least 863 Palestinians and 35 Israeli troops, according to officials on each side.
在加沙街头，冲突的证据仍然在黑暗中熠熠生辉。当地媒体报道称，一起以色列空袭击中这辆汽车，造成至少1名巴勒斯坦人死亡。这是为期12小时的休战生效之前最新的一起死亡事件。以色列和哈马斯同意休战，哈马斯称，这次休战是由联合国促成的。目前还不清楚将产生什么样的效果。以色列官员表示，军队将继续搜索激进分子使用的隧道，如果遭遇枪击将作出回应。据双方官员所说，为期18天的战争已经造成至少863名巴勒斯坦人和35名以色列士兵遇难。

未透露姓名的抗议活动女领袖：“确保向美国政府传达正确的信息，你们不允许纳税人的钱用来杀害加沙地带的儿童。”
The protest came as Hamas and Israel agreed to a 12-hour humanitarian truce, which starts Saturday at 8 a.m. Israeli time.The protest also came amid rising death tolls. Gaza officials say 844 people have been killed in 18 days of conflict. The death toll for the Israeli army has increased to 35.

路透社财经:制裁和IMF使俄罗斯经济受到考验
Sanctions and IMF put Russian economy in the dock
制裁和IMF使俄罗斯经济受到考验
It's been just over a week since the Malaysian Airlines MH17 was shot out of the sky over eastern Ukraine. Nearly three hundred lives lost. Governments around the world were quick to blame and demand an end to the crisis in Ukraine. How best to do this led to cracks within the EU and accusations of self-interest and hypocrisy. But is Europe, under pressure from the U.S., making progress? A leaked report out of Brussels reveals it may target state-owned Russian banks vital to financing Moscow's faltering economy. More individuals will reportedly be added to the asset freeze list. Wider sanctions could also be announced next week. In the meantime, the IMF has cut its growth forecast by over a percent. Mike Ingram from BGC Partners.
SOUNDBITE (English) BGC PARTNERS, MARKET COMMENTATOR, MIKE INGRAM, SAYING: "Russia had to cancel a bond auction earlier on this week because they basically couldn't find any investors at a price which they thought was reasonable. So markets are inflicting real pain on markets and on the Russian real economy. And look at the IMF forecast: 0.2% growth from Russia they are forecasting this year. It's a fair bet when the numbers finally come in for 2014 they're going to be in recession." After months of hesitation over the impact sanctions might have on Europe, EU states including Germany, Moscow's biggest trade partner, are pushing for quick action. They believe Russia has failed to meet demands to end violence in Ukraine. As for Europe itself, Standard Chartered's Sarah Hewin says it's relatively insulated.
SOUNDBITE (English) SARAH HEWIN, REGIONAL HEAD OF RESEARCH AT STANDARD CHARTERED, SAYING: "They've really avoided so far taking that step towards phase three sanctions, those measures which would affect all sectors for example - defense, energy, finance. As long as we don't see those sorts of sanctions being imposed, then the view seems to be that the impact is going to be constrained just to Russia."
It's not just Russia feeling the strain. Ukrainian politics has again been thrown into turmoil after the Prime Minister said he would quit. But confusion reigned after parliament announced it's yet to receive Arseny Yatseniuk's resignation letter.
And fighting still rages on in eastern Ukraine. Fourteen people reportedly killed in the past 24 hours in the rebel stronghold of Donetsk.
白宫发言:每周讲话:修补企业税收漏洞
Weekly Address: Closing Corporate Tax Loopholes
WASHINGTON, DC — In this week’s address, the President continued his call for our nation to rally around an economic patriotism that says rather than protecting wasteful tax loopholes for a few at the top, we should be investing in things like education and job training that grow the economy for everybody. The President highlighted the need to close one of the most unfair tax loopholes that allows companies to avoid paying taxes here at home by shifting their residence for tax purposes out of the country. The President has put forth a budget that does just that, and he has called for business tax reform that makes investment in the United States attractive, and creates incentives for companies to invest and create jobs here at home. And while he will continue to make the case for tax reform, the President is calling on Congress to take action and close this loophole now.
The audio of the address and video of the address will be available online atwww.whitehouse.govat 6:00 a.m. ET, July 26,2014.
Remarks of President Barack Obama
Weekly Address
The White House
July 26, 2014
Hi, everybody. Our businesses have now added nearly 10 million new jobs over the past 52 months. The unemployment rate is at its lowest point since September 2008 – the fastest one-year drop in nearly 30 years. 401(k)s are growing, fewer homes are underwater, and for the first time in more than a decade, business leaders around the world have declared that the world’s number one place to invest isn’t China; it’s the United States of America – and our lead is growing.
None of this is an accident. It’s thanks to the resilience and resolve of the American people that our country has recovered faster and come farther than almost any other advanced nation on Earth.
But there’s another trend that threatens to undermine the progress you’ve helped make. Even as corporate profits are as high as ever, a small but growing group of big corporations are fleeing the country to get out of paying taxes. They’re keeping most of their business inside the United States, but they’re basically renouncing their citizenship and declaring that they’re based somewhere else, just to avoid paying their fair share.
I want to be clear: this is only a few big corporations so far. The vast majority of American businesses pay their taxes right here in the United States. But when some companies cherrypick their taxes, it damages the country’s finances. It adds to the deficit. It makes it harder to invest in the things that will keep America strong, and it sticks you with the tab for what they stash offshore. Right now, a loophole in our tax laws makes this totally legal – and I think that’s totally wrong. You don’t get to pick which rules you play by, or which tax rate you pay, and neither should these companies.
The best way to level the playing field is through tax reform that lowers the corporate tax rate, closes wasteful loopholes,and simplifies the tax code for everybody. But stopping companies from renouncing their citizenship just to get out of paying their fair share of taxes is something that cannot wait. That’s why, in my budget earlier this year, I proposed closing this unpatriotic tax loophole for good. Democrats in Congress have advanced proposals that would do the same thing.
A couple Republicans have indicated they want to address this too, and I hope more join us.
Rather than double-down on the top-down economics that let a fortunate few play by their own rules, let’s embrace an economic patriotism that says we rise or fall together, as one nation, and as one people. Let’s reward the hard work of ordinary Americans who play by the rules. Together, we can build up our middle class, hand down something better to our kids, and restore the American Dream for all who work for it and study for it and strive for it.
Thanks, and have a great weekend.
