Details have emerged of the conditions endured by the three women held for around a decade in a house in the American city of Cleveland. Police said they’d been kept bound and ropes and chains had been found in the house. Two of the women, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, have returned to home to rapturous welcomes.

“The last thing the family is asking is that we as a community do not go retaliate against the family or the suspects of this crime. We are asking that, as they have been doing their job, it not might be today when we want it, it might not be tomorrow, but they will get the job done. We need to let them do their job.”
“這家人要求的最后一件事是,要這個社區(qū)不要向這家人或嫌犯報復(fù)。我們問的時候,他們說可能今天無法完成,可能要明天,但現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)搞定了。我們得讓他們把工作搞定。”

Lawyers for the victims of the cholera epidemic in Haiti have given the United Nations a 60-day deadline to open talks about billions of dollars of compensation or face legal action. The families of the 8,000 people killed by the epidemic and the hundreds of thousands of people infected accused the UN of negligently allowing peacekeeping soldiers to pollute Haiti’s water supply. Mark Doyle reports.
海地霍亂蔓延受害者的律師們給聯(lián)合國60天的最后期限,來商討有關(guān)數(shù)十億美元賠償金的談判,否則將訴諸法律。這場霍亂導(dǎo)致8000人喪生,成千上萬人感染,受害者家屬指責(zé)聯(lián)合國疏忽大意,讓維和士兵污染了海地的水供應(yīng)。馬克·多伊爾報道。
The cholera epidemic began in Haiti near a camp for UN soldiers where there were leaking sewage pipes. Some human waste was also dumped outside the camp near a river. One of the UN’s own experts on cholera, Daniele Lantagne, told the BBC it was most likely the disease originated in the UN camp. It housed UN soldiers from Nepal where cholera is endemic. The UN rejected an earlier call for compensation in this unprecedented case against the world body saying it was immune from such claims.
海地這場霍亂開始在聯(lián)合國士兵營地附近,那里出現(xiàn)污水管泄露現(xiàn)象。有的人糞便也倒在河邊的營地外,聯(lián)合國霍亂專家Daniele Lantagne告訴BBC,這場疾病很可能源自聯(lián)合國營地。那里住著來自霍亂蔓延地尼泊爾的聯(lián)合國士兵。早些時候,有人呼吁對聯(lián)合國該機構(gòu)就這件史無前例的案子進行賠償,聯(lián)合國否認該指控,稱與指控?zé)o關(guān)。
低級法院發(fā)現(xiàn)貝盧斯科尼犯有欺詐罪,并判他一年監(jiān)禁。他對此上訴,卻遭拒絕。事實上,高級法院稱應(yīng)判他4年監(jiān)禁。然而這是不可能發(fā)生的,貝盧斯科尼肯定會實施自己的權(quán)利再次上訴,這起案子將很快到達法定時限。
An appeal court in Italy has upheld the conviction of the former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi for tax evasion. Mr Berlusconi’s been convicted of artificially inflating prices of film distribution rights to avoid taxes. Here is Alan Johnston.
意大利上訴法院支持對意大利前總理西爾維奧·貝盧斯科尼逃稅罪的判定。貝盧斯科尼被控故意抬高電影發(fā)行權(quán)價格以逃稅。艾倫·約翰斯頓報道。
A lower court found Mr Berlusconi guilty of fraud and sentenced him to a year behind bars. He appealed but this has been thrown out. In fact the higher court has said he should spend four years in jail. There is, however, no real prospect of this actually happening. Mr Berlusconi is sure to exercise his right to appeal one more time and the case will soon expire under a legal time limit.

The long-serving manager of the English football club Everton David Moyes is said to be appointed to succeed Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United. The BBC understands that an announcement could be made on Thursday. Sir Alex announced his retirement at the end of this season, one that’s seen the English Premier League club win its 13th league title under his leadership. David Bond reports.
據(jù)悉,長期擔(dān)任英國足球俱樂部經(jīng)理的埃弗頓·大衛(wèi)·莫耶斯已被任命接替曼聯(lián)主帥弗格森的職位。BBC了解到周四將發(fā)布聲明,亞歷克斯爵士在賽季結(jié)束時宣布退休,他見證了英超俱樂部在自己領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人獲得第13個聯(lián)賽冠軍。龐大衛(wèi)報道。
At the age of 71, Sir Alex’s retirement has been the big cloud hanging over Old Trafford. Despite that, the Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said his departure would not be the end of the story.
今年71歲的亞歷克斯爵士辭職一事成了籠罩在老特拉福德球場上空的烏云。盡管如此,英超總裁史古達摩亞稱自己的離去并不意味著一切的結(jié)束。
“It’s a fantastic job whoever takes on the facilities, the training facilities, you know, the established, you know, fan base around the world. It’s just the most fantastic job for somebody.”
“不管誰掌管這些培訓(xùn)設(shè)施,這都是個很棒的工作,要知道,我們在全世界都建立了粉絲基地。這對任何人來說都是很棒的工作。”
That someone looks like being Everton’s David Moyes, highly regarded but unproven at the very top. Sir Alex has played a central part in the selection of his successor. That won’t make it any easier to build on the legacy of the greatest manager the English game has ever seen.
這樣的人就像埃弗頓的莫業(yè)斯,很被推崇卻未到頂端。亞歷克斯爵士在選擇繼任者上扮演了核心角色,在英國足球最棒經(jīng)理人留下的遺產(chǎn)基礎(chǔ)上再創(chuàng)輝煌,倒不是什么容易的事。
