Tensions rise as Russian convoy crosses into Ukraine
俄罗斯救援车队入境乌克兰
Almost as soon as the trucks began moving, accusations and warnings from both sides over the true nature of what Moscow calls an aid convoy, but Ukraine believes is a trojan horse being used to disguise an invasion of its territory. Ukraine government spokesman Valentyn Nalivaychenko says he's in no doubt about Russia;'s intentions.
这些卡车开动的瞬间,双方关于莫斯科所谓救援车队本质的指控和警告就一发不可收拾 。乌克兰相信这是俄罗斯为了掩盖入侵领土的特洛伊木马 。乌克兰政府发言人纳里法钦科表示,俄罗斯的意图昭然若揭 。
(SOUNDBITE) UKRAINIAN SECURITY SERVICE (SBU) CHIEF, VALENTYN NALIVAYCHENKO, SAYING: "It's a direct invasion with the cynical use of Red Cross. These are military vehicles. These are servicemen with fake documents."
乌克兰安全局(SBU)局长纳里法钦科(Valentyn Nalivaychenko):“这时候利用红十字会直接入侵领土的行为 。这些都是军用车辆,是携带虚假文件的军人 。”
But Moscow maintains that the trucks are transporting much-needed humanitarian aid to Russian speaking residents of Ukraine cities beseiged by government forces. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Lukashevich is warning Kiev against any interference.
但是莫斯科坚持称这些卡车运输的是被政府军围困的乌克兰城市俄语居民亟需的人道主义救援物资 。俄罗斯外交部发言人Alexander Lukashevich警告基辅不要进行任何干预 。
(SOUNDBITE) RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESMAN, ALEXANDER LUKASHEVICH, SAYING: "We warn against any attempts to disrupt the purely humanitarian mission which was being prepared for a long time in full transparency and in coordination with the Ukrainian side and the International Committee of the Red Cross."
俄罗斯外交部发言人Alexander Lukashevich:“我们警告基辅不要试图扰乱纯粹的人道主义救援任务,我们已经准备了很长时间,是完全透明的,是在配合乌克兰和国际红十字委员会的情况下进行的 。”
But the Red Cross says it is not part of the convoy. It says plans to accompany the trucks were abandoned when authorities were unable to guarantee the safety of Red Cross staff. Kiev has stated that it won''t attack the convoy, but as the trucks approach their destination, the tension is rising.
但是红十字会表示,他们与救援车队没有关系 。当局不能保证红十字会员工的安全时,他们就放弃了陪同车队前往乌克兰的计划 。基辅发表声明称,他们不会袭击车队,但是卡车接近目的地时,紧张气氛逐渐升级 。
Rain hampers landslide rescue in Japan
大雨阻碍山体滑坡救援工作
Rescue workers in Japan dig through the thick cloying mud with shovels. A deadly landslide on Wednesday turned this neighbourhood in northern Hiroshima into a mangled heap of rubble and sludge. The torrential rain that caused this began on Wednesday, when a month's rain fell in one night. The rain has delayed the search and now rescuers are afraid it could set off more landslides. Buildings and homes were demolished. Whole families were buried alive. This woman weeps as she learns that a neighbour's child was found dead.
救援工作者用铁铲在泥泞中挖掘 。周三的一起致命山体滑坡导致广岛北部这个社区成为一片废墟和泥浆 。导致这种状况的暴雨开始于周三,好像一个月的雨量在一个晚上降落 。暴雨拖延了搜救工作,现在救援人员担心暴雨会引发更多山体滑坡 。建筑和房屋被毁坏 。很多家庭被活埋废墟下 。这名女子获悉邻居的孩子遇难时潸然落泪 。
(SOUNDBITE) (Japanese) JAPAN RESCUE ASSOCIATION, TAKERU OKA, SAYING: "It could be said in any disasters, but the extent of the damage here is bigger than we first through from the initial reports. Even looking at the disaster site, it's still not possibly to fully grasp the full extent of the disaster, and as a result, the numbers of missing keeps increasing."
日本救援联合会工作人员TAKERU OKA:“任何灾难都会发生这种情况,但是这次山体滑坡的破坏程度超过最初的报道 。即使亲自莅临灾难地点,也很难全面估计灾难的程度,因此,失踪人数仍在攀升 。”
Many residents take refuge at local schools, where clothes and hot meals are being distributed to people who have lost everything. Japan is a very mountainous country and landslides are not uncommon. But this latest disaster has left rescuers fearing the worst as the death toll mounts and search dogs are brought in to look for the dozens of people still missing.
许多居民在当地学校避难,失去一切的人们得到了衣物和热饭 。日本属于山区,山体滑坡频发 。但是最新一起灾难导致救援人员担心可能会发生最糟糕的情况,死亡人数仍在上升,搜救犬加入了搜寻数十名失踪者的工作 。

路透社娱乐:丛集性头痛患者接受移植
Patient receives first implant in U.S. to prevent cluster headaches
丛集性头痛患者接受移植
Paul Alterio has tried everything to help with his cluster headaches, but the 39-year-old says the pain has been paralysing. (SOUNDBITE) (English) PAUL ALTERIO, PATIENT, SAYING: "They just hit really hard, they hit exactly right around the temple area and it actually feels like someone just basically stabbing behind my pupils." Cluster headaches are more severe than migraines and even more painful. There's currently no cure - but there is hope. An new device called a "neurostimulator" has been implanted beneath Paul's cheekbone to block the pain. He's the first patient in the U.S. to undergo the experimental surgery. Dr. Bradley Otto of Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center inserted the device through a small incision in Paul's gum. The neurostimulator has a wire that feeds directly into the nerves associated with the pain. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DR. BRADLEY OTTO, OHIO STATE WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER, SAYING: "The nerve control center that sits behind the cheek sinus is involved in the pathway of cluster headaches. So by short circuiting that involvement we think it will help to treat cluster headache." The device is operated with an external remote control that enables patients to block communication between the nerves when they feel a headache coming on. (SOUNDBITE) (English) DR. BRADLEY OTTO, OHIO STATE WEXNER MEDICAL CENTER, SAYING: "The patient then has the opportunity to treat their headaches by placing this device up to their cheek, almost like you're talking on a cellular phone, and to stimulate the device that's inside the cheek to treat the headache." As for Paul Alterio, he says the technology has given him a sense of control, knowing that his Life is back on the right path.
白宫发言:ISIS杀害美国记者 奥巴马发表声明
Statement by the President
The Edgartown School
Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts
12:52 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon, everybody. Today, the entire world is appalled by the brutal murder of Jim Foley by the terrorist group, ISIL.
Jim was a journalist, a son, a brother, and a friend. He reported from difficult and dangerous places, bearing witness to the lives of people a world away. He was taken hostage nearly two years ago in Syria, and he was courageously reporting at the time on the conflict there.
Jim was taken from us in an act of violence that shocks the conscience of the entire world. He was 40 years old -- one of five siblings, the son of a mom and dad who worked tirelessly for his release. Earlier today, I spoke to the Foleys and told them that we are all heartbroken at their loss, and join them in honoring Jim and all that he did.
Jim Foley’s life stands in stark contrast to his killers. Let’s be clear about ISIL. They have rampaged across cities and villages -- killing innocent, unarmed civilians in cowardly acts of violence. They abduct women and children, and subject them to torture and rape and slavery. They have murdered Muslims -- both Sunni and Shia -- by the thousands. They target Christians and religious minorities, driving them from their homes, murdering them when they can for no other reason than they practice a different religion. They declared their ambition to commit genocide against an ancient people.
So ISIL speaks for no religion. Their victims are overwhelmingly Muslim, and no faith teaches people to massacre innocents.
No just God would stand for what they did yesterday, and for what they do every single day. ISIL has no ideology of any value to human beings. Their ideology is bankrupt. They may claim out of expediency that they are at war with the United States or the West, but the fact is they terrorize their neighbors and offer them nothing but an endless slavery to their empty vision, and the collapse of any definition of civilized behavior.
And people like this ultimately fail. They fail, because the future is won by those who build and not destroy and the world is shaped by people like Jim Foley, and the overwhelming majority of humanity who are appalled by those who killed him.
The United States of America will continue to do what we must do to protect our people. We will be vigilant and we will be relentless. When people harm Americans, anywhere, we do what’s necessary to see that justice is done. And we act against ISIL, standing alongside others.
The people of Iraq, who with our support are taking the fight to ISIL, must continue coming together to expel these terrorists from their communities. The people of Syria, whose story Jim Foley told, do not deserve to live under the shadow of a tyrant or terrorists. They have our support in their pursuit of a future rooted in dignity.
From governments and peoples across the Middle East there has to be a common effort to extract this cancer, so that it does not spread. There has to be a clear rejection of these kind of nihilistic ideologies. One thing we can all agree on is that a group like ISIL has no place in the 21st century.
Friends and allies around the world, we share a common security and a common set of values that are rooted in the opposite of what we saw yesterday. And we will continue to confront this hateful terrorism, and replace it with a sense of hope and civility. And that’s what Jim Foley stood for, a man who lived his work; who courageously told the stories of his fellow human beings; who was liked and loved by friends and family.
Today, the American people will all say a prayer for those who loved Jim. All of us feel the ache of his absence. All of us mourn his loss. We keep in our prayers those other Americans who are separated from their families. We will do everything that we can to protect our people and the timeless values that we stand for.
May God bless and keep Jim’s memory, and may God bless the United States of America.
END
