Smoke is billowing from the site of huge explosions in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, which killed at least 17 people and injured hundreds more. Images on social media show a scene of utter devastation.

中國港口城市天津發(fā)生大規(guī)模爆炸案，導(dǎo)致至少17人喪生，數(shù)百人受傷，目前濃煙正從事發(fā)地點冒出，社交媒體上的圖片顯示事發(fā)地已徹底被摧毀。

The authorities say the massive blasts were caused when a shipment of explosives being stored in a container detonated. Our correspondent John Subworth is in Tianjin, and reports from a destroyed dormitory building 100m from the site of the explosion. "

官方稱發(fā)生爆炸的原因是集裝箱里的炸藥被引爆。記者約翰·蘇博沃斯目前在離天津爆炸地點100米處的一個被毀宿舍樓報道。

What I'm standing in is what was a dormitory for migrant workers. You can see roofing materials, these corrugated panels, lying everywhere. And some of the people here we've spoken to say there were a number of very serious injuries, just as you'd expect. Others, though, have come away unscathed, and are picking through the rubble, trying to salvage what they can. Other people sitting around in total shock, really, almost impossible to comprehend what has just happened to them. They have their lives completely turned upside-down."

“我現(xiàn)在所站的地方原本是農(nóng)民工的宿舍樓，這里到處都可以看到屋頂材料瓦楞板。我采訪過的一些人說有很多重傷者，這是可以預(yù)料的，一些沒有受傷的人在瓦礫中撿東西，其他人震驚地坐在那里，完全不明白發(fā)生了什么，他們的生活已經(jīng)徹底改變了。

China has allowed its currency to devalue for a third day running. The Central Bank set the guidance rate for the yuan 1% lower against the dollar. The fall in the currency has caused uncertainty on global financial markets. But the International Monetary Fund has welcomed the moves towards allowing market forces to have a greater role in determining the exchange rate. This week's decline in the value of the Chinese currency is the biggest in two decades. Juliana Liu reports. "

中國允許人民幣連續(xù)三天貶值，央行規(guī)定人民幣對美元價格跌1%。人民幣貶值使得全球金融市場出現(xiàn)不確定，但國際貨幣基金組織歡迎此舉，因為這樣可以使得市場力量在決定匯率方面發(fā)揮更大作用。本周人民幣貶值幅度是20年來最大的一周，下面是朱利安·劉報道。

The yuan trades in a managed float, that means every morning, officials set a reference rate, a mid-point around which the currency is allowed to trade. Three days ago, the mechanism for setting that rate was effectively changed, allowing supply and demand more say in the exchange rate. The currency's subsequent weakness is a reflection of worries about the state of the Chinese economy."

“人民幣實行管理浮動，這意味著每天早上官方會設(shè)定參考匯率，也就是允許人民幣交易的中界點。三天前，決定匯率的機制已經(jīng)改變，使得供求關(guān)系在匯率決定方面發(fā)揮更大多用。人民幣后來的貶值反映了市場對中國經(jīng)濟現(xiàn)狀的擔(dān)憂。”

South Korea has pardoned more than 6,500 prisoners, including the chairman of one of the country's biggest conglomerates, Chey Tae-won, chairman of the SK Group, has been imprisoned for two years after being convicted of embezzling more than 40 million dollars. President Park Gyun-hye announced the pardons as South Korea marked the 70th anniversary of the end of Japanese rule, following its defeat in the Second World War. She said she hoped the releases would help to forge a national reconciliation and boost the economy.
