I’m Maddy Savage bringing you a selection ofhighlights from across BBC world service news.

我是麥蒂· 薩維奇，通過BBC“全球服務”欄目，為您帶來今天的新聞要點。

Coming up, European Union leaders have signed anagreement on closer relations with Ukraine asRussia formalizes its annexation of Crimea. Ukraine’s Acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk, “This is the historic day for my country and we believe this is the historic day for the entireEurope. We want to be a part of the European family.” Also in the podcast, Britain hasannounced its first prosecution for female genital mutilation after criticism that the lawprotecting women was not being inforced. And later, the son of a sex worker from Calcutta inIndia has been given the unique opportunity to go and train at Manchester United FootballClub. “This is the guy who’s never left Calcutta. He was struggling to understand why heneeded a passport to go to England.”

這 次新聞的主要內(nèi)容有：克里米亞正式入俄后，歐盟領(lǐng)導人與烏克蘭簽署了一項更密切關(guān)系協(xié)定。烏克蘭代總理阿爾謝尼·亞采紐克說：“今天對于我的國家來說具有 重要歷史意義，我們相信，對歐洲來說同樣如此。我們想成為歐盟大家庭中的一員。”另外，英國婦女權(quán)益保護法未能有效實施引發(fā)外界批判，近日，英國首次對女 性生殖器切割案件進行起訴。印度加爾各答性工作者之子獲得到曼聯(lián)足球俱樂部訓練的難得機會。“他從沒離開過加爾各答，到現(xiàn)在還搞不明白為什么要用護照才能 去英國。”

First then, the European Union has signed an agreement with Ukraine forging closereconomic and political ties as the crisis with Russia continues. The deal is part of theagreement that the ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych rejected in November leadingto the protests and his eventual overthrown. Ukraine’s Acting Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuksaid it was a great day for Ukraine. “This is the historic day for my country and we believe this isthe historic day for the entire Europe. We want to be a part of the European family. And this isthe first tremendous step in order to achieve Ukraine’s ultimate goal as a full freshmembership. My country faces a number of challenges, most economic, political and military.And signing this treaty we will show to the entire world that we are together, that Ukraineshares the European values, and that we can together be successful. We do understand thatthis is a very bumpy road, but that’s our job to deliver everything that Ukrainian people we arefighting for. ” He also said that the EU must end its dependency on Russian energy supplies,denying Moscow the opportunity to use energy as what he called ”a new nuclear weapon”. “The deal commits Ukraine and the EU to closer political and economic ties.”

首先來看烏克蘭消息。在烏克蘭與俄羅斯關(guān)系持續(xù)緊張的情況下，歐盟與烏克蘭簽署了一項增加經(jīng)濟政治往來的協(xié) 定。11月份，被罷黜的烏克蘭總統(tǒng)亞努科維奇曾拒絕簽署包括此內(nèi)容在內(nèi)的協(xié)定，從而導致抗議示威和最終下臺。烏克蘭代總理阿爾謝尼·亞采紐克稱，這一天對 烏克蘭來說意義重大。“今天對于我的國家來說具有重要歷史意義，我們相信，對歐洲來說同樣如此。我們想成為歐盟大家庭中的一員。協(xié)議的簽署是實現(xiàn)烏克蘭加 入歐盟這一終極目標的重要步驟。我的國家面臨著眾多挑戰(zhàn)，主要是經(jīng)濟、政治和軍事方面的挑戰(zhàn)。這項協(xié)議簽訂后，我們會向世人證明我們是團結(jié)的，烏克蘭與歐 盟有著相同的價值觀，我們聯(lián)合起來就能獲得成功。當然，我們知道，道路是曲折的，但我們要做的就是為滿足烏克蘭民眾的心愿而奮斗。”他還表示，歐盟必須停 止對俄羅斯能源供應的依賴，從而避免俄羅斯把能源當作他所謂的“新的核武器”。“這項協(xié)定的簽署奠定了烏克蘭和歐盟之間更加緊密的政治經(jīng)濟關(guān)系。”
