Schettino had denied the charges. He's always argued that others should share the blame for what happened.

President Obama has asked the US Congress to authorise a three-year military campaign against Islamic State militants. The plan could include limited ground operations by American forces.

"It is not the authorisation of another ground war like Afghanistan or Iraq. As I said before I'm convinced the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war in the Middle East. It's not in our national security interest, and it's not necessary for us to defeat ISIL."

這并不是像展開阿富汗或者伊拉克戰(zhàn)爭一樣，正如我之前說的，我認(rèn)為美國不應(yīng)該卷入中東持久的地面戰(zhàn)爭中，這不符合我們國家安全利益，也沒有必要去擊退ISIL。

There is still a huge and very dangerous gap between all the sides, most of all between the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and the Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who represent two very different sides in this escalating war. Petro Poroshenko wants to regain the territorial integrity. He is talking about greater autonomy, but the rebels want to control the areas. They are talking about federalism not decentralisation.

雙方之間還存在著巨大分歧，最主要分歧存在于烏克蘭總統(tǒng)波羅申科與俄羅斯總統(tǒng)普京之間，雙方也是不斷的升級戰(zhàn)爭沖突的雙方代表人。波羅申科希望恢復(fù)領(lǐng)土完整。他主要目的為控制更多自主權(quán)，但是叛軍想要控制部分領(lǐng)土。他們正談?wù)摰氖锹?lián)邦制度，而不是權(quán)力下放。

There will also be six-figure rewards for the football federation and technical staff. In total the government is spending more than $3m on its celebrations, which included Monday's National Holiday.
