Sue Montegamary為您播報(bào)BBC新聞。

President Obama is to remove Cuba from a list of states sponsors of terrorism, a key step towards normalising relations between Washington and Havana. Last week, the Cuban President Raul Castro met Mr. Obama on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas in Panama, and demanded to be removed from the list. Here's John Sudworth.

奧巴馬總統(tǒng)將古巴從恐怖主義黑名單中移除這一舉動(dòng)成為了華盛頓和哈瓦那之間關(guān)系正常化的關(guān)鍵舉動(dòng)。上周古巴總統(tǒng)卡斯特羅與奧巴馬總統(tǒng)在巴拿馬美洲峰會(huì)期間舉行會(huì)談，要求美方將其從恐怖主義黑名單中移除。下面是本臺(tái)記者發(fā)回的報(bào)道。

“The removal from the states sponsors of terrorism list has long been demanded by the Cubans. And after a series of reports written by various interested U.S. government departments, the President has made his decision. It'll pave the way for the reopening of the U.S. Embassy in Havana and the Cuban Embassy in Washington. As such, this is a major step towards normalising relations between the 2 countries. In his letter to Congress, President Obama says the government Cuba has not provided any support for international terrorism during the past 6 months. And the letter goes on, the government of Cuba has provided assurances that it will not supports active international terrorism in the future.”

古巴一直要求美方將其從恐怖主義黑名單中移除。在經(jīng)過(guò)一系列美國(guó)政府部門(mén)書(shū)面報(bào)道后美國(guó)總統(tǒng)終于做出了決定。這一舉動(dòng)將為重開(kāi)美國(guó)駐哈瓦那大使館和古巴駐華盛頓大使館鋪平道路。同樣，這也是兩國(guó)關(guān)系正?；闹匾e措。在對(duì)國(guó)會(huì)的信件中，奧巴馬總統(tǒng)說(shuō)古巴政府在過(guò)去六個(gè)月時(shí)間里沒(méi)有證據(jù)表明古巴有支持國(guó)際恐怖主義的行為。信上還表示，古巴政府已經(jīng)做出保證，以后也不會(huì)支持國(guó)際恐怖主義。

Reports from Italy say 400 migrants died when the boat that was carrying them to Italy capsized a day after leaving Libya. Survivors said many of the victims were children. Meikerni Probery from the charity Save the Children in Italy says they're still trying to find out exactly how many children were involved.

來(lái)自意大利的報(bào)道稱一艘從利比亞開(kāi)往意大利的移民船只在駛離利比亞之后翻船，造成400名移民死亡。幸存者稱遇難者大多數(shù)為兒童。意大利拯救兒童慈善機(jī)構(gòu)表示其仍在試圖查清遇難兒童數(shù)量。

“We don't know exactly. We don't have the kind of clearance. According to the testimony, they said that there weren't really, in this case, young kids on the boat, but for sure, young people and possibly many minus like the few that survived and we met on the boat today.”Save the Children says some seven thousand migrants have made the crossing from Africa to Europe in recent days.

具體數(shù)字我們現(xiàn)在還不清楚。我們還沒(méi)有進(jìn)行清理。根據(jù)證詞其表示在這起移民翻船事件中還沒(méi)有做好對(duì)船上兒童的統(tǒng)計(jì)，但是可以確定的是年輕人和其他少數(shù)人，還有今天在船上看到的人幸存了下來(lái)。拯救兒童機(jī)構(gòu)說(shuō)在最近幾天里有大約七千非法移民從非洲地區(qū)偷渡到歐洲。

The U.N. Security Council has imposed an arms embargo on Houthis rebels in Yemen and their allies, forces loyal to the country's former President, Ali Abdullah Saleh. The resolution also calls on the rebels to withdraw from territory they've seized and introduces a travel ban and asset freeze on the Houthis leader and Mr. Saleh's son. The rebels have forced the government out of the capital, Sanaa, and are now fighting to broaden their control of the south of the country. The U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Samantha Power, welcomed the measure.

聯(lián)合國(guó)安理會(huì)對(duì)也門(mén)胡塞叛軍及其盟友和效忠于也門(mén)前總統(tǒng)阿巴迪軍隊(duì)施加武器禁運(yùn)政策。這一決議還呼吁叛軍撤離其占領(lǐng)地區(qū)，并對(duì)胡塞叛軍領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人及薩利赫兒子實(shí)施旅行禁令和資產(chǎn)凍結(jié)。叛軍已經(jīng)迫使也門(mén)政府離開(kāi)首都薩那，現(xiàn)在正在為擴(kuò)大也門(mén)南部控制地區(qū)而戰(zhàn)斗。美國(guó)駐聯(lián)合國(guó)大使Samantha Power對(duì)這一決策表示支持。

“The imposition of a global asset freeze and travel ban on Ali Abdullah Saleh and Abdulmalik al-Houthi, as well as a targeted arms embargo, shows that this Council will take action against those who continue to undermine efforts toward reconciliation.”

對(duì)Ali Abdullah Saleh 和 Abdulmalik al-Houthi全球性的資產(chǎn)凍結(jié)和旅行禁令，還有武器禁運(yùn)政策都表明了安理會(huì)將會(huì)采取行動(dòng)應(yīng)對(duì)該地區(qū)持續(xù)瓦解局勢(shì)，努力進(jìn)行和解。

Al-Qaeda in Yemen says its top cleric, Ibrahim al-Rubaish, has been killed in a drone strike. The United States had placed a five-million-dollar bounty on his head. It's not yet commented on the reports of the killing. Al-Rubaish should have been released from Guantanamo in 2006. Al-Qaeda has seized more territory in Yemen, and independent tribal groups have also taken advantage of the fighting to increase their autonomy.

也門(mén)基地組織表示其高級(jí)神職人員Ibrahim al-Rubaish在一次無(wú)人機(jī)空襲中喪生。美國(guó)已經(jīng)宣布500萬(wàn)美元懸賞求其項(xiàng)上人頭。目前還沒(méi)有證實(shí)報(bào)道的真實(shí)性。Al-Rubaish在2006年從關(guān)塔那摩監(jiān)獄被釋放。Al-Rubaish在也門(mén)占據(jù)了大片土地，獨(dú)立部落也趁機(jī)擴(kuò)大了其部落自主權(quán)。

The Turkish President has reacted furiously to Pope Francis's uses of the word of genocide to describe the manslaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915.
