Saudi Arabia says it will continue to use force to stop Houthi rebels from taking over Yemen. The Saudi ambassador to the United States, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir said rebel troops were closing in on the port of Aden from 3 sides. And Saudi Arabia was determined to stop them taking the city. He said the operation in the country was entering a second phase.

沙特表示其將繼續(xù)對胡塞叛軍發(fā)動襲擊阻止其占領也門地區(qū)。沙特駐聯合國大使Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir說叛軍隊伍正在從三個方向聚集到亞丁港口。沙特下決心要阻止其占領城區(qū)。他說該國境內的行動已經進入第二階段。

“The objective of this new phase is to continue to protect the civilians in Yemen from take-over by the Houthis, to counter any aggressive moves by the Houthis in Yemen, and to work on enhancing the flow of humanitarian assistance to Yemen, and ease the work of international humanitarian organizations in Yemen. And so when the Houthis or their allies make aggressive moves, there will be a response.”

新一階段的任務是繼續(xù)保護被胡塞叛軍占領地區(qū)的居民，繼續(xù)針對也門境內的胡塞叛軍侵略行動予以還擊，繼續(xù)加強對也門人道主義援助，緩解國際人道主義在也門的組織工作。當胡塞叛軍或者其同盟軍再次采取侵略行動的時候其會給予還擊。

The Red Cross has described the situation in Yemen as catastrophic and deteriorating by the day. The ICRC's Regional Director, Robert Mardini, who's just back from Yemen, described reports he'd received from the Red Cross office in Aden.

紅十字會稱也門現在的情形日益惡化。國際紅十字會區(qū)域負責人Robert Mardini剛剛從也門返回，下面是他從亞丁紅十字會辦公室受到的報道。

“We got 3 reports of dozens of dead bodies in the streets that nobody could retrieve. The humanitarian situation is really deteriorating by the day, and at times, catastrophic for people. In Sanaa, for instance, there has been no electricity now for 9 days. So you can imagine a city like Sanaa without electricity, no public services, water shortages, people now have to buy water with private tankers. It's very expensive.”He said the major logistical challenge was now to distribute the 50 tons of medical aid they'd managed to fly in a week ago.

我們接到三起報道稱街道上有數十具沒有人認領的尸體。人道主義局勢著實正在日益惡化，與此同時還有對當地居民災難性的影響。比如薩那，已經有9天沒有來電了，沒有公共服務，水資源急缺，現在人們用私人油罐車買水喝。這是非常昂貴的。他說現在面臨的最主要的挑戰(zhàn)是50噸醫(yī)療援助的運輸，而這些物資在一周前就已經計劃安排空運了。

The United Nations Refugee Agency says nearly 12,000 people have fled Burundi in less than 2 weeks, amid fears of election violence. The refugees report harassments and the disappearance of family members associated with the political opposition. Mur Julien reports.

聯合國難民機構說在過去不到兩周時間里有近12000人因畏懼選舉暴力逃離布隆迪。難民署報道稱候選人家人受到騷擾和失蹤與政治反對派有關系。下面是本臺記者發(fā)回的報道。

The presidential election is not due until late May. But already, a wave of panic has spread in Burundi, and people are running from their homes, often taking nothing with them. The UN Refugee Agency says those who fled, speak of insecurity and forced recruitment by a pro-government youth group, which has been accused of politically motivated violence. Burundi's ruling party is said to announce over the weekend whether the incumbent president Pierre Mkurunziza will be a candidate for a third term in power. Opponents say it would be illegal for him to run again.

總統(tǒng)大選5月下旬才開始，但是布隆迪恐慌已經蔓延開來，人們什么都顧不上帶就匆匆逃離了家鄉(xiāng)。聯合國難民機構稱這些逃離的人群被一個親政府青年黨組織被迫招募，該組織被指控有煽動政治暴力的動機。布隆迪執(zhí)政黨據稱將會在周末的時候宣布現任總統(tǒng)Pierre Mkurunziza能否會成為第三屆總統(tǒng)候選人。反對者稱Pierre Mkurunziza再次當選總統(tǒng)的行為是違法行為。

The Nigerian military says a major offensive is underway in the Sambisa Forest, thought to be the main hideout of the Boko Haram Islamist group. A defence ministry spokesman said ground troops had also joined the campaign. There's been speculation that the forest, spanning thousands of kilometres in northeast Nigeria, could be where Boko Haram is holding more than 200 schoolgirls whom they kidnapped over a year ago.

尼日利亞軍方稱將要在Sambisa森林地區(qū)發(fā)動大規(guī)模進攻，該地區(qū)被認為是伊斯蘭組織博科圣地的主要藏身之處。國防部發(fā)言人稱地面部隊已經加入到了行動當中。有推測認為尼日利亞北部數千公里范圍的森林區(qū)正是博科圣地隱藏一年前綁架的200多名女學生的地方。

Scientists in the United States say an experimental drug has saved the lives of all 3 monkeys infected with a strain of Ebola and could be equally effective in humans. Researchers from the University of Texas say the monkeys were infected with the Makona strain, which was responsible for the current outbreak in West Africa. They'll be given the experimental strain 3 days later. The animals survived despite fevers and high blood levels of virus. In research published in the journal Nature, the scientists say the new drug can be developed within 8 weeks.

The Catholic Church maintains relations with the Communist authorities in Havana, ever since Fidel Castro took over in 1959.

天主教教會與哈瓦那共產主義當局保持著聯系，盡管菲德爾卡斯特羅在1959年接管當局。教皇弗朗西斯可以稱為是打開美國與古巴關系的關鍵人物。在2012年前教皇本尼迪克訪問加勒比島的時候教皇弗朗西斯在場，但是他寫了一本關于古巴的書。
