BBC News:美國(guó)欲向敘利亞增兵250人 或遭遇多重尷尬

Hello, I'm Sue Montgomery with the BBC news.US officials say that president Barack Obama is to send 250 additional military personnel to Syria to support local militias in the fight against the IS group. According to the officials, the main objective is to encourage more fighters in northeastern Syria. From Washington, here is Laura Bicker. This is a significant expansion of troops for a president who has been reluctant to send US boots to Syria. 50 members of the Special Operation Spotters were sent last year to help in the fight against the IS. And now US officials have confirmed that a further 250 military personnel will be deployed. Mr Obama is expected to make the announcement after the talks in Hanover in Germany. The US, along with the coalition of allies, began an air campaign against IS in Syria in 2014 but the strikes rely on troops on the ground, mostly Kurdish fighters, to help identify potential targets.

你好，我是Sue Montgomery，這里是BBC新聞。美國(guó)官員表示，美國(guó)總統(tǒng)巴拉克•奧巴馬 (Barack Obama) 向敘利亞增派250名軍事人員，以支持當(dāng)?shù)孛癖驌?ldquo;伊斯蘭國(guó)”恐怖組織。據(jù)官員們聲稱(chēng)，主要目的在于鼓勵(lì)在敘利亞?wèn)|北部的眾多戰(zhàn)士。來(lái)自華盛頓，我是Laura Bicker。對(duì)一個(gè)不情愿將美國(guó)士兵派遣至敘利亞的總統(tǒng)而言，這是一次規(guī)模很大的軍隊(duì)擴(kuò)張。去年，50名特種部隊(duì)操作觀察員被派遣至敘利亞，以幫助對(duì)抗“伊斯蘭國(guó)”恐怖組織?，F(xiàn)在美國(guó)官員證實(shí)將增派250名軍事人員至敘利亞。在德國(guó)漢諾威會(huì)談結(jié)束之后，預(yù)計(jì)奧巴馬將宣布該消息。在2014年，美國(guó)與聯(lián)盟盟友在敘利亞開(kāi)始發(fā)動(dòng)空襲，以打擊“伊斯蘭國(guó)”恐怖組織，但發(fā)動(dòng)這些攻擊需要依靠地面部隊(duì)，主要庫(kù)爾德戰(zhàn)士，來(lái)幫助識(shí)別潛在目標(biāo)。

The candidate of Austria's far-right Freedom Party Norbert Hofer has won the first round of the presidential election. He will face an independent candidate supported by the Greens, Alexander Van der Bellen, in the runoff for next month. Speaking on Austrian television, Mr Hofer said he was confident he would win the runoff. I think it's possible to convince many to vote for me again in the second round and I can reiterate that the president has to represent all Austrians but that doesn't mean I will discount my principles. It is very clear I have my positions and I will stick to them.

Serbia's canter-right Progressive Parties won the country's parliamentary election. Preliminary results suggest it gained almost 50 precent of the vote, representing an endorsement of its pro-EU stunts. GB has more. It's a major victory for Mr Vucic and his progressives. He said the results show strong result for democracy, reforms and EU integration. The center-left was the big losers. The Democratic Party governed Serbia for more than a decade. This time it barely passed the 5 percent threshold to enter parliament. The far-right fared better. Two nationalist movements passed the threshold but they'll have little influence on the government and may simply allow Mr Vucic to strengthen his credentials as the only choice for moderates at home and abroad.

塞爾維亞進(jìn)步黨贏得國(guó)家議會(huì)選舉。初步結(jié)果表明它贏得50%的選票。代表其親歐盟地位的認(rèn)可。請(qǐng)聽(tīng)記者帶來(lái)的詳細(xì)報(bào)道。英國(guó)在歐盟地位更加被認(rèn)可。對(duì)武契奇與他的進(jìn)步人士而言，這是一次巨大的勝利。他表示結(jié)果表明對(duì)民主、改革和歐盟一體化的強(qiáng)烈愿望。中間左派成為大輸家。民主黨已經(jīng)統(tǒng)治塞爾維亞十多年，這次勉強(qiáng)通過(guò)了5%進(jìn)入議會(huì)的門(mén)檻。極右翼情況稍微好一些。兩個(gè)民族主義運(yùn)動(dòng)派別通過(guò)議會(huì)門(mén)檻，但他們對(duì)政府幾乎沒(méi)有影響力并且或許只是允許武契奇樹(shù)立威信，作為國(guó)內(nèi)外穩(wěn)健派的唯一選擇。

The Brazilian government says last year it managed to repatriate 125 million dollars, siphoned off to foreign bank accounts by corrupt officials, politicians and businessmen. Brazil's Justice Ministry said this was 8 times more than had been recovered over the precious decade.

The Congolese singer Papa Wemba has died after collapsing on stage during a performance on Ivory Coast. He was 66. Julian Bedford assesses his life and legacy. In the 1980s, soukous became the dominant sound in African music and one of its pioneers and most gifted exponents was Papa Wemba. With his bands Zaiko Langa Langa and Viva La Musica, Papa Wemba took soukous from the suburbs of Kinshasa right across the continent. At times, he was caught in controversy, serving a prison sentence in what was then known as 'Zaire' allegedly for sleeping with the general's daughter and later in Belgium, for involvement in a people smuggling network but he will be remembered best for his music.
