埃及當?shù)仉娕_報道稱在埃及北部西奈一系列襲擊中至少有20人死亡30多人受傷。國家安全部隊正與伊斯蘭極端分子展開斗爭。下面是本臺記者發(fā)回的報道。
The brunt of the attacks was against military and police targets in the provincial capital el-Arish, but other towns were hit as well. A car bomb was set off outside a military base in el-Arish while mortar rounds were fired at other targets including a police club and several check points. Northern Sinai has long been a violent and unstable region. The army has launched major operations to try to stop the violence, but they so far failed. A jihadist group calling itself Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has become the biggest threat there, staging many attacks on security targets, especially since the ousting of the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
最主要的襲擊目標為省會阿里什,但是其他城鎮(zhèn)也遭遇了襲擊。一枚汽車炸彈在阿里什一座軍事基地外爆炸,其他目標則遭遇了幾輪迫擊炮襲擊,包括一輛警車和幾個檢查點。西奈半島北部長期以來一直是一個暴力而動蕩的地區(qū)。軍方發(fā)起了重大行動,試圖阻止暴力活動,但是目前為止一直未取得成功。一個自稱“耶路撒冷支持者”的圣戰(zhàn)組織已經(jīng)成為該地區(qū)最大的威脅,對安全目標發(fā)動了多次襲擊,尤其是自從2013年伊斯蘭總統(tǒng)穆爾西被推翻以來。

Fifty percent of the building was destroyed by this blast. It happened at 7am in the morning here while the lorry was giving some gas, liquid gas, to the hospital. It was given to the kitchen. But the kitchen was very close to the area where the children were in their cribs. I have to say that the driver and two of the helpers have been arrested, and they are now being interrogated by the police about what happened there.
百分之五十的建筑被爆炸摧毀。爆炸發(fā)生在早上7點,當時罐車正向醫(yī)院運輸氣體和液體。這些氣體被輸送往廚房,但是廚房距離醫(yī)院新生兒區(qū)非常近。我不得不說這名司機和兩名助手已經(jīng)被逮捕,現(xiàn)在正在接受警方詢問。

The government in Portugal has approved rules allowing descendants of Jews who were expelled from the country centuries ago to claim Portuguese citizenship. Applicants will have to prove a strong link to Portugal as Alison Roberts explains.
葡萄牙政府通過了一系列規(guī)定,允許幾個世紀前被驅逐出去的猶太人后裔申請葡萄牙公民身份。申請人必須證明與葡萄牙之間有強烈的聯(lián)系。下面是本臺記者發(fā)回的報道。
This might, the government said, be a combination of surname, language used in the family or proof of direct descent. Many of the thousands of Jews expelled in 1497, five years after Spain's own order of expulsion or who fled later to avoid forced conversion to Christianity, continued to use a form of Portuguese in their new communities in Amsterdam, Istanbul, New York and across Brazil. As the government notes Jews settled in this part of Iberia long before the kingdom of Portugal was founded in the 12th century. At present only a few thousands live here, but according to officials numerous Sephardic Jews from around the globe are now showing an interest in applying for nationality.
政府表示,這些聯(lián)系可能是姓氏,家庭使用的語言或者說明他們是葡萄牙后裔的直接證明。1497年,西班牙下令驅逐,或者不愿被迫皈依基督教的數(shù)十萬猶太人被驅逐離開葡萄牙。許多人在阿姆斯特丹,伊斯坦布爾,紐約和巴西新的社區(qū)仍然使用以前的葡萄牙語。政府指出,在葡萄牙王國12世紀建立以前很長時間,猶太人已經(jīng)在伊比利亞地區(qū)定居。目前,只有幾千人居住在這里。但是據(jù)官員們所說,全球各地諸多猶太人對申請葡萄牙國際表現(xiàn)出了興趣。
