BBC News:奧巴馬白宮講話 細談槍控計劃

Hello, I'm Natalia Rolleston with the BBC news.

大家好，我是納塔莉亞·勞萊斯頓，為您播報BBC新聞。

In an emotional speech at the White House, President Obama has detailed his plans to tighten gun controls. He introduced the new measures including background checks by executive order sidestepping congressional opposition. Jon Sopel reports. “His nickname is No-Drama Obama, but not today, not on the issue of gun control as frustration, impatience and anger over the failure to act, turn to raw emotion as he spoke about the young children who died at the New town school shooting. 'First graders and from every family who never imagine that their loved one would be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun.Every time I think about those kids, they get me mad.' The proposals from the president are relatively modest. No class of weapons is being banned. It's about tightening background checks.” The National Rifle Association said it would fight President Obama's measures. The gun lobby group said the proposals would not have prevented any of the mass killings that the president referred to in his speech. The Republican Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick said the changes didn't amount too much. “It's political posturing which will have no impact on reducing crime and it will probably not stand up to a challenge in the courts. And lastly I believe Ted Cruz or any other Republican becomes president will repeal those orders.”

美國總統(tǒng)奧巴馬在白宮發(fā)表了慷慨激昂的演講，詳細講述了加強槍支管制計劃。奧巴馬要實施的新措施包括，繞過國會發(fā)布行政命令，進行背景調(diào)查。請聽瓊恩·蘇帕爾帶來的報道。“他的綽號是淡定奧巴馬，但是在今天，在槍支管控問題上并非如此。在講述紐鎮(zhèn)學(xué)校發(fā)生的射擊案死亡的孩子時，在未能成功貫徹槍支管控的挫敗感，急躁和憤怒讓他義憤填膺。‘那些一年級新生，以及那些從未想過自己的家人會死于生活中的一顆子彈。每次我想到這些孩子們，都會非常的痛心。奧巴馬的提案是比較溫和的。并沒有要求禁止槍支，而是要加強背景調(diào)查。”全國步槍協(xié)會稱會反對奧巴馬的舉措。步槍游說團體稱這些提議并不會阻止奧巴馬在演講中提到的大規(guī)模槍殺案。德克薩斯州共和黨副州長丹帕特里克稱這些改變的意義不大。“這是政治姿態(tài)，對減少犯罪沒有影響，甚至無法應(yīng)對法庭上的反對。我相信，泰德·克魯斯或任何其他共和黨成為總統(tǒng)將廢除這些議案。”

The German chancellor Angle Merkel has condemned as poignant a wave of sexual assaults on women during New Year celebrations in Cologne. About 90 women say they were attacked. Similar incidents on a smaller scale also took place in the cities of Hamburg and Stuttgart. Damien McGuinness reports. “Eyewitnesses report chaotic scenes with dozens of crying women sworn at and attacked by gangs of aggressive drunk men. One eyewitness says there were too few police officers for situation that was clearly out of control. The attackers are described as seemingly of North African appearances. Anti-migrant campaigners say this proves Germany is letting in too many refugees, but officials say there is no evidence that the men were asylum seekers.”

德國總理安德拉·默克爾譴責(zé)在新年慶祝之際，科隆發(fā)生多起婦女性侵事件。約有90名婦女稱自己遭到了性侵。漢堡和斯圖加特特發(fā)生了小規(guī)模的類似事件。達米安·麥吉尼斯為您報道。“目擊者稱場面混亂，一群醉鬼咒罵并襲擊了有數(shù)十名婦女。一名目擊者稱，現(xiàn)場警察太少，局面顯然失去了控制。襲擊者從外表看似乎是北非人。反移民人士稱，德國允許太多的難民入境，但是官方并沒有證據(jù)表明這些人是難民。”

Reports from Saudi Arabia say armed men have set fire to a bus which was transporting workers in the country's eastern province. According to the state media, there were no injuries. The attack comes at a time of tension in the area following Saudi Arabia's execution of a dissident Shiite Muslim cleric Nemeral-Nemer accused of involvement in terrorism. The cleric lived and preached in the eastern province which was home to many Shiite people who feel discriminated against by Saudi Sunni Muslim majority.
