The police chief of the US city of Ferguson is to resigned. Thomas Jackson has been criticized by many activists following the shooting of an unarmed black teenager by one of his officers in August. Kim Ghattas reports from Washington.
美國(guó)弗格森城市警察局長(zhǎng)將辭職。在八月份其警員射殺一名無(wú)辜黑人少年之后托馬斯杰克遜一直備受活動(dòng)家批評(píng)。下面是本臺(tái)記者從華盛頓發(fā)回的報(bào)道。
Police Chief Thomas Jackson was one of the two officials whose behavior was highlighted and scaling report by the department of justice last week. The report was prompted by the fatal shooting of 18-year old Michael Brown by a white policeman last summer. It alleged racial bias in the city police department and court system and outlined ways in which the police and courts functioned as a money making enterprise mostly targeting the city’s African American population. Mr. Jackson has so far resisted calls to step down over his handling of the shooting of the unarmed black teenager and weeks of protests that followed.
警察局長(zhǎng)托馬斯杰克遜是上周司法部點(diǎn)名表彰的兩名官員之一。去年夏天一名警員射殺一名18歲黑人少年布朗之后報(bào)道立即引爆全市。這一事件是該城市警察部門(mén)和法院系統(tǒng)存在種族偏見(jiàn)問(wèn)題的表現(xiàn),并指出該市警局和法院運(yùn)作系統(tǒng)是一種金錢(qián)操縱系統(tǒng),主要目標(biāo)針對(duì)美國(guó)裔非洲人。杰克遜目前不滿因處理槍殺無(wú)辜黑人少年并引發(fā)數(shù)周抗議游行事件而辭職。
An America’s top General says that there is no doubt that Iraqi forces will drive Islamic state militants out of Tikrit. But General Martin Dempsey expresses concern over how Sunni inhabitants of the city would then be treated. Shia militias make up a large part of the government forces attacking Tikrit. As Paul Adams reports.
美國(guó)高級(jí)將軍表示毫無(wú)疑問(wèn),伊拉克軍隊(duì)將把伊斯蘭武裝分子驅(qū)逐出提克里特。但是登普西將軍表示擔(dān)心遜尼派當(dāng)?shù)鼐用窨赡軙?huì)被處理掉。什葉派民兵組織為政府軍隊(duì)進(jìn)軍提克里特提供了大量支持。下面是本臺(tái)記者發(fā)回的報(bào)道。
This is not the government’s first attempt to retake Tikrit but this operation now 10 days old does seem to be the most concerted effort so far and it’s entering a critical phase 3,000 government troops backed by around 20,000 Shia militiamen and much smaller forces of Sunni tribesmen are now reported to have entered one of Tikrit’s northern neighborhoods Qadisiya. The city is more or less sealed off, but it is not clear if street fighting has really begun in earnest. An Iraqi major who declined to give his name for security reasons said his forces started the blasting early this morning, moving towards the centre of Tikrit from four locations.
奪回提克里特并不是政府軍隊(duì)的首要目標(biāo),但是這十天來(lái)的行動(dòng)來(lái)似乎已經(jīng)被視為最關(guān)心的問(wèn)題,其進(jìn)攻提克里特的3000名政府力量,近20000人什葉派民兵力量和小部分的遜尼派部落力量據(jù)目前報(bào)道已經(jīng)進(jìn)入了提克里特北部臨城Qadisiya地區(qū)。該城市些許有些封閉但是目前仍不清楚其城市東部街道沖突是否已經(jīng)打響。一名拒絕透露姓名的伊拉克要員說(shuō)其部隊(duì)力量在今天早上開(kāi)始打響了戰(zhàn)斗,并從四個(gè)不同地區(qū)分別挺進(jìn)提克里特城市中心。
Defense officials in the United States say Washington is to sent more Non-lethal military aid to Ukraine. The package will include drones and unarmed military jeeps.

A point echoed by the White House spokesman Josh Earnest.
美國(guó)國(guó)防部官員表示華盛頓將會(huì)向?yàn)蹩颂m提供更多非致命性軍事援助。該援助計(jì)劃包括派送無(wú)人機(jī)和非武裝軍用吉普車。在北約秘書(shū)長(zhǎng)斯托爾滕貝格稱莫斯科將繼續(xù)為烏克蘭東部叛軍提供軍事設(shè)備和訓(xùn)練軍事人員之后,美國(guó)宣布對(duì)俄羅斯銀行八位分裂分子領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人實(shí)施制裁。
