BBC News: 印度高院裁定其全球比較大的電子身份證系統(tǒng)合法

歡迎收聽BBC新聞，我是約翰•雪伊。

India's highest court has ruled that the world's largest digital identification system is constitutional, rejecting pleas that it violates the right to privacy. But in the landmark judgement, the court also limited its use, deciding that some areas such as banking, phone companies and school places shouldn't demand it. Biometric data of more than a billion Indians are stored as part of the Aadhaar program. From Delhi, here's Devina Gupta.

印度最高法院裁定印度世界最大的電子身份證系統(tǒng)合法，并駁回了其違反隱私權(quán)的說辭。但在此次意義重大的審判中，法院也限制了它的使用范圍，判定像銀行、手機(jī)公司以及學(xué)校這類的場(chǎng)所不應(yīng)使用該系統(tǒng)。這項(xiàng)名為阿達(dá)哈爾的項(xiàng)目收集了10億多人的生物識(shí)別數(shù)據(jù)。以下是迪溫那•古普塔在德里的報(bào)道。

Aadhaar which means foundation started nine years ago as a voluntary program to help Indians get welfare benefits like food subsidy. But the scheme has turned deeply controversial after the Indian government made it mandatory and wanted it to be linked to things like tax returns, phone numbers and bank accounts. Activists claimed that the policy creates a surveillance state and it should be voluntary for citizens.

阿達(dá)哈爾是“基礎(chǔ)”的意思，該項(xiàng)目于9年前開始，原本是一個(gè)為幫助印度人獲得食物補(bǔ)貼等公共福利而設(shè)置的自愿性項(xiàng)目。之后，該項(xiàng)目變得極具爭(zhēng)議，因?yàn)橛《日畬⑺兂闪藦?qiáng)制性項(xiàng)目，并想使之與報(bào)稅系統(tǒng)、手機(jī)號(hào)碼和銀行賬戶相掛鉤?；顒?dòng)人士宣稱該政策將印度變成了一個(gè)“監(jiān)控之國(guó)”，這項(xiàng)政策應(yīng)該由公民自愿選擇。

There's been a stark warning from the United Nation's envoy to the Middle East over the state of the peace process in the region. Nickolay Mladenov tell the BBC tensions were rising. The situation on the ground is slipping very quickly both in the West Bank and Gaza. Tensions are rising. In Gaza, we're on the verge of another war between Hamas and Israel. And I feel that the Palestinian leadership President Abbas feels that his whole strategy of negotiating of peacefully achieving a Palestinian statehood is now being threatened and undermined. And I think that's a very, very big danger.

The chairman of Australia's National Broadcaster, the ABC says he has no intention of resigning after hundreds of employees called for him to go. It follows a report that Justin Milne tried unsuccessfully to have a senior economics journalist sacked after the former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull complained about tax policy coverage. Howard Griffith has more details.

澳大利亞國(guó)家電視臺(tái)ABC董事長(zhǎng)表示雖然有數(shù)百名員工要求他離職，但是他并沒有辭職的打算。此前有報(bào)道稱，在前總理馬爾科姆•特恩布爾對(duì)有關(guān)稅務(wù)政策的報(bào)道進(jìn)行投訴后，賈斯汀•米爾恩便試圖解雇一名高級(jí)金融記者，但沒有成功。以下是霍華德•格里弗斯的詳細(xì)報(bào)道。

The ABC is publicly funded and fiercely independent. So suggestions that its chairman sought to have a journalist fired because her reporting drew complaints from the government have caused outrage. A leaked email suggests Justin Milne wrote, we need to get rid of her and save the ABC. The government has announced an investigation into the allegations. The corporation is already in turmoil after the board announced earlier this week it had sacked the managing director. Mr. Milne has refused to comment directly on the claims, saying he would not provide a running comment on the situation.

ABC是一家公立電視臺(tái)，但卻極為獨(dú)立。因此由于記者的報(bào)道遭政府投訴，其總裁就想要解雇她的做法引起了公憤。在一份泄露的電子郵件中，賈斯汀•米爾恩寫道，我們需要解雇她拯救ABC。澳大利亞政府已宣布將會(huì)對(duì)指控進(jìn)行調(diào)查。本周初董事會(huì)宣布解雇總經(jīng)理后，該公司就已經(jīng)陷入了一片混亂之中。米爾恩拒絕對(duì)該事做直接評(píng)論，并表示他不會(huì)對(duì)該事件的進(jìn)展做出評(píng)論。
