BBC News: 多國簽署新冠疫苗全球計劃

Hello, I'm David Harper with the BBC News.

大家好，我是大衛(wèi)·哈珀，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。

More than 150 countries representing nearly two thirds of the global population have signed up to a global scheme for the common development of vaccines against COVID-19. The facility, known as COVAX, also aims to ensure poor countries' access to a future vaccine. The WHO's Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said it was crucial that everyone had access to a potential vaccine.

150多個國家簽署了共同開發(fā)新冠肺炎疫苗的全球計劃，這些國家的人口占全球人口的近2/3.COVAX機制還旨在確保貧窮國家能夠在未來獲得疫苗。世衛(wèi)組織總干事譚德塞博士稱，每個人都能在未來獲得疫苗是至關(guān)重要的。

"The COVAX facility will help to bring the pandemic under control, save lives, accelerate the economic recovery and ensure that the race for vaccines is a collaboration, not a contest. This is not charity. It's in every country's best interest. We sink or we swim together."

“COVAX機制將有助于控制疫情、拯救生命、加速經(jīng)濟復(fù)蘇，并確保疫苗開發(fā)是一種合作，而不是競爭。它不是慈善機構(gòu)。它符合每個國家的最佳利益。我們休戚與共。”

Pubs and restaurants in England are to be ordered to close early to control the spread of coronavirus. Prime Minister Boris Johnson is also expected to instruct people to work from home where possible. Helen Catt reports.

英國的酒吧和餐館被要求提前關(guān)門，以控制冠狀病毒的傳播。預(yù)計英國首相鮑里斯·約翰遜也將要求人們盡可能在家工作。請聽海倫·凱特的報道。

Against a backdrop of rising cases and now a raised COVID alert level, Downing Street says the prime minister will set out further ways in which the government plans to tackle the spread of coronavirus. Ministers do not want another full lockdown, but there will be some additional restrictions. From Thursday, all pubs, bars and hospitality venues in England will have to close by 10 p.m. They would also have to offer table service only by law. The cabinet will meet, the prime minister will then update the Parliament, where a number of his own MPS have voiced concern about the way in which restrictions are being imposed. It's understood senior backbenchers, along with the chancellor, pushed back against tougher measures suggested by the scientists.

在病例不斷增加和新冠肺炎警戒級別提高的背景下，英國政府表示，首相將著手制定政府應(yīng)對冠狀病毒傳播的進一步方案。內(nèi)閣大臣們不希望再次全面封鎖，但會有一些額外的限制。從周四開始，英國所有的酒吧和招待場所都必須在晚上10點前關(guān)閉。他們也只能根據(jù)法律提供餐桌服務(wù)。內(nèi)閣將召開會議，首相將向議會通報最新情況，在議會中，首相自己的一些議員對實施限制的方式表示了擔憂。據(jù)了解，高級議員和大臣對科學(xué)家提出的更嚴厲措施進行了反擊。

The Democrat candidate for the US presidency, Joe Biden, has renewed his criticism of President Trump's handling of the coronavirus crisis. At a campaign event in Wisconsin, he said that the president panicked, froze and failed to act despite knowing how deadly the virus was. As the number of deaths in the US approaches 200.000. Mr. Biden said that Mr Trump's willful inaction have had devastating consequences.

美國民主黨總統(tǒng)候選人喬·拜登再次批評了特朗普總統(tǒng)處理冠狀病毒危機的方式。在威斯康辛州的一次競選活動中，他表示，盡管總統(tǒng)知道這種病毒有多致命，但他驚慌失措、僵住了，沒有采取行動。隨著美國死亡人數(shù)接近20萬，拜登表示，特朗普的故意不作為已經(jīng)造成了災(zāi)難性的后果。

"Due to Donald Trump's lies in confidence in the past six months have seen one of the gravest losses of American life in history. But sadly, it's not over. As awful as the past 180 days have been, the next 90 days could be twice as bad. We could be looking at between 178 and 200.000 lives lost. And all the president does is deliberately change the subject." Polls show that the president's handling of the pandemic has damaged his standing.

“由于唐納德·特朗普有信心的謊言，在過去的六個月里，美國經(jīng)歷了歷史上最嚴重的生命損失之一。但遺憾的是，這還沒有結(jié)束。過去的一百八十天已經(jīng)非常糟糕，接下來的九十天可能會變本加厲。我們可能會看到有178到20萬人喪生。而總統(tǒng)現(xiàn)在所做的只是故意轉(zhuǎn)移話題。”民調(diào)顯示，總統(tǒng)對疫情的處理損害了他的聲望。

And Mr. Trump has said he will probably announce his nominee for the Supreme Court on Saturday, adding that five women are under consideration as a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

特朗普表示，他可能會在周六宣布最高法院大法官的提名，并表示正在考慮五位女性接替魯斯·巴德·金斯伯格的職位。
