French-led forces combating an Islamist insurgency in Mali say they’ve taken control of the historic desert city of Timbuktu. Journalists in the city said French and Malian troops were greeted by cheering crowds. A French military spokesman said troops moved in after seizing the airport without firing a single shot. Thomas Fessy reports from Timbuktu.
由法國領(lǐng)導的抗擊馬里伊斯蘭暴亂軍事力量宣布，他們已經(jīng)控制了歷史悠久的沙漠城市廷巴克圖。駐該市記者報道稱，歡呼的人群迎接了法國和馬里軍隊。一位法國軍事發(fā)言人稱，隨著部隊開進，未開一槍便占領(lǐng)了機場。Thomas Fessy從廷巴克圖報道。
The French haven’t encountered any resistance to recapture Timbuktu, but they fear that some elements of Islamist rebels are still hiding in town. French-led forces have successfully conducted a rapid advance to free the population from Islamist rule, but the jihadists have melted away into desert and chasing them down in this vast region will be much more difficult.
法國軍隊在奪回廷巴克圖的軍事行動中未遭遇任何抵抗行動，但是他們擔心一些伊斯蘭反叛分子仍然藏匿于市鎮(zhèn)中。法國領(lǐng)導的軍事力量在將馬里人民從伊斯蘭統(tǒng)治中解放出來的使命中快速邁進了成功的一步，但是這些圣戰(zhàn)者已分散于沙漠之中，而在如此廣袤的區(qū)域搜尋到他們將更加困難。
The African Union has promised $50m for a multi-national military force to help the Malian government defeat Islamist rebels. The funds were announced at the end of a two-day summit of African heads of state in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa.
非盟承諾向多國領(lǐng)導的軍隊力量撥出5千萬美元以幫助馬里政府擊敗伊斯蘭叛軍。在埃塞俄比亞首都亞的斯亞貝巴進行的為期兩天的非盟首腦峰會會議結(jié)束之時，非盟宣布了這一援助基金計劃。
A group of Democrat and Republican US senators has announced details of a plan to reform what the senators call America’s broken immigration system. They want to offer a pathway to citizenship for 11 million illegal immigrants as long as border security is tightened especially with Mexico to the south. They are also demanding tougher measures to stop employers giving jobs to illegal immigrants and they want the principles to become law by March. Senator John McCain said something had to be done about people living in the United States illegally.
一 組由民主黨和共和黨組成的美國參議員宣布了計劃細節(jié)，以改革被他們稱為破碎的移民制度。他們期望給予1100萬非法移民獲得公民權(quán)的途徑，同時加強特別是 南部墨西哥接壤地區(qū)的邊境安全。他們還要求采取更嚴厲的措施，來阻止雇主雇傭非法移民，并且議員們期望這些原則到三月份成為法律。參議員約翰•麥凱恩稱， 到時候?qū)Ψ欠ㄉ钤诿绹娜藗儾扇⌒袆恿恕?/p>
“What’s going on now is unacceptable. In reality, what’s been created is a de facto amnesty. We have been too content for too long to allow individuals to mow our lawn, serve our food, clean our homes and even watch our children while not affording them any of the benefits that make our country so great. I think everyone agrees that it’s not beneficial for our country to have these people here hidden in the shadows.”
“目前的一切是不可接受的。實際上，我們制定的這一計劃是一種大赦。很久一段時間以來，我們非常滿意于讓這些人們?yōu)槲覀兏畈荨⒆鲲?、清潔房間甚至看管孩子，但同時卻不向他們提供任何那些讓美國如此偉大的福利。我想,大家都認為，讓這些人生活在陰影之下，并不有益于美國。”
Police in Mexico have found eight bodies in a well which they say are probably those of a group of musicians who went missing last week. Twenty members of Kombo Kolombia disappeared after performing on Thursday night in the northern state of Nuevo Leon. Will Grant reports.

It was the news the families had been dreading. But given the extent of Mexico’s drug violence, it was always the most likely outcome of the group’s disappearance. Eight bodies were found in a well in the municipality of Mina, some 30km away from where the men disappeared last week. A non-named member of the band managed to escape from the group which kidnapped them. The state authorities said he had been beaten but was out of danger.
這 消息讓音樂家的家人們驚恐不安。但是，考慮到墨西哥毒品暴力的猖獗，這是這組音樂家消失的最可能的結(jié)果。在米那市的一口井內(nèi)發(fā)現(xiàn)的這8具尸體，距離上周他 們消失的地方大約30公里。樂隊一位未透露名字的成員設(shè)法逃出了綁架團伙的虎口。政府當局稱，他受到擊打，不過現(xiàn)已脫離危險。

There’s been concern about the state of the 18th century fountain after chunks of stone fell away. The restoration project costing nearly $3m is one of a number being funded by fashion companies as the Italian government struggles to find money to preserve its cultural heritage.
