Ebola outbreak could infect 20,000 people: WHO
WHO:埃博拉病毒或许会传染20,000人
Ebola continues to ravage communities in four West African countries, with well over 3,000 cases now reported. But in Switzerland, the World Health Organization says the deadly epidemic may have already infected two to four times that many people, and could potentially infect over 20,000 before the outbreak is contained.
埃博拉病毒继续在四个西非国家肆虐,据报道现在已有超过3,000个病例 。但是在瑞士,世界卫生组织表示,感染这种致命疾病的人数可能是该数字的二至四倍,在得到控制之前,可能会传染给超过20,000人 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO)'S ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL FOR POLIO, EMERGENCIES AND COUNTRY COLLABORATION, BRUCE AYLWARD, SAYING: "So 20,000 is the scale that has, I think, not ever been anticipated in terms of an Ebola outbreak."
世界卫生组织负责小儿麻痹症,紧急事件和国家合作的副总干事BRUCE AYLWARD:“我认为感染的总规模是20,000人 。以前从未预料到埃博拉病毒能够引起这么多人感染 。”
The W-H-O says it's putting into place a half billion dollar operation to tackle Ebola, spread over six to nine months, and based on projections that the epidemic could spread to ten more nations. This isn't a regional or a West African issue, it said. It's a global health security issue that needs an international response.
世卫组织表示,他们已经拨款5亿美元用于应对埃博拉病毒 。病毒传播会持续六至九个月,而且据推测这种病毒还会向其他10个国家蔓延 。这并不是区域性的或西非的问题,而是全球性的安全问题,需要国际社会做出反应 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) WHO'S ASSISTANT DIRECTOR-GENERAL FOR POLIO, EMERGENCIES AND COUNTRY COLLABORATION, BRUCE AYLWARD, SAYING: "It is a big operation, we are talking, well over 12,000 people operating over multiple geographies in very difficult and high risk circumstances, it is expensive."
世界卫生组织负责小儿麻痹症,紧急事件和国家合作的副总干事BRUCE AYLWARD:“这是一项大的行动,我们说的是,不同国家超过12,000人处境堪舆,非常危险,代价非常高 。”
Thursday's announcement marks a major raising of the response by the W-H-O. It had come under criticism by some agencies for reacting too slowly to the Ebola outbreak. But the medical charity Doctors Without Borders says questions still remain...who will implements this half billion dollar plan? By its account, none of the organizations in the most-affected areas have the right set up in place to respond on a scale big enough to really make an impact.
周四的公告表明世卫组织做出的反应进一步加强 。一些机构批评世卫组织对埃博拉病毒爆发做出的反应太过迟缓 。但是医疗慈善机构无国界医生组织表示,目前仍有很多问题 。谁来实施5亿美元的计划?根据其表述,受影响最严重国家没有任何一个组织有权以足够的规模来真正地制定计划,产生影响 。

白宫发言:奥巴马关于经济问题讲话
President Obama Delivers an Update on the Economy, Iraq, and Ukraine
At the White House this afternoon, President Obama provided an update on important issues ahead of his attendance at the NATO Summit in the United Kingdom next week.
The President first addressed the "number one thing that most Americans care about" -- our economy. He noted that the economy is growing "at a stronger clip" than predicted and that we have more work to do to continue this momentum:
This morning, we found out that our economy actually grew at a stronger clip in the 2nd quarter than we originally thought. Companies are investing. Consumers are spending. Over the past four and a half years, our businesses have created now nearly 10 million new jobs. So there are reasons to feel good about the direction we’re headed. But as everybody knows, there’s a lot more we should be doing to make sure more Americans benefit from the progress that we've made and I am going to be pushing Congress hard on this when they return next week.
As the U.S. military continues to carry out targeted airstrikes against ISIL in Iraq and to address the humanitarain situation on the ground, the President reiterated his commitment as Commander-in-Chief to "always do what is necessary to protect the American people and defend against evolving threats to our homeland."
"Our military action in Iraq has to be part of a broader, comprehensive strategy to protect our people and to support our partners who are taking the fight to ISIL. And that starts with Iraq’s leaders building on the progress they’ve made so far and forming the inclusive government that will unite their country and strengthen their security forces to confront ISIL."
The President reported that our strikes have cost ISIL terrorists arms and equipment, and Iraqi and Kurdish forces are continuing to push them back. The U.S. will consider a range of options but he made clear that a successful strategy will require working with an inclusive Iraqi government and strong regional partners to meet this threat:
Now ISIL poses an immediate threat to the people of Iraq and the people throughout the region. And that’s why our military action in Iraq has to be part of a broader, comprehensive strategy to protect our people and to support our partners who are taking the fight to ISIL. And that starts with Iraq’s leaders building on the progress they’ve made so far and forming the inclusive government that will unite their country and strengthen their security forces to confront ISIL.
Any successful strategy, though, also needs strong regional partners. I’m encouraged so far that countries in the region -- countries that don’t always agree on many things -- increasingly recognize the primacy of the threat ISIL poses to all of them. And I’ve asked Secretary Kerry to travel to the region to continue to build the coalition that’s needed to meet this threat. As I’ve said, rooting out a cancer like ISIL will not be quick or easy but I’m confident that we can -- and we will -- working closely with our allies and partners.
For our part, I’ve directed Secretary Hagel and our Joint Chiefs of Staff to prepare a range of options. I’ll be meeting with my National Security Council again this evening as we continue to develop that strategy. And I’ve been consulting with Congress and I’ll continue to do so in the days ahead.
After speaking with Chancellor Merkel of Germany today on the situation in Ukraine, the President noted that the evidence is clear: "Russia is responsible for the violence in eastern Ukraine."
The violence is encouraged by Russia. The separatists are trained by Russia. They are armed by Russia. They are funded by Russia. Russia has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and the new images of Russian forces inside Ukraine make that plain for the world to see. This comes as Ukrainian forces are making progress against the separatists.
As a result of the actions Russia has already taken, and the major sanctions we’ve imposed with our European and international partners, Russia is already more isolated that at any time since the end of the Cold War. Capital is fleeing. Investors are increasingly staying out. Its economy is in decline. And this ongoing Russian incursion into Ukraine will only bring more costs and consequences for Russia.
The President also noted that the NATO-Ukraine Commission will meet next week at the NATO Summit and provide "another opportunity to continue our partnership with Ukraine." "I look forward to reaffirming the unwavering commitment of of the United States to Ukraine and its people when I welcome President Poroshenko to the White House next month," he added.
