BBC News: 土耳其堅持不釋放美國福音派牧師

Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC news.

大家好，我是大衛(wèi)·奧斯汀，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。

A high court in Turkey has upheld a lower court's decision not to release the American evangelical pastor Andrew Brunson from house arrest. He's on trial for alleged terrorism in a case that severely worsened relations between Turkey and the US to NATO allies. A threat of further sanctions by Washington caused another dip in the Turkish currency the lira. This was the reaction of people in the Turkish city of Izmir. We should not make concessions. The United States is far away, but it wants to flex his political muscle in this region. Therefore, there is not much we can do. Let's keep up the resistance. It doesn't worry me, to be honest, because I believe that domestic measures are being taken. But, yes, these threats of more sanctions can cause speculative actions such as momentary currency fluctuations. When Turkish markets are closed, international markets are open to speculations.

土耳其一所高級法院維持了初級法院的判決結(jié)果，不會釋放正遭到軟禁的美國福音派牧師安德魯`布朗森。因恐怖主義指控，布朗森正在接受審訊，此案件嚴(yán)重影響了土耳其和美國的北約盟友關(guān)系。美國威脅對土耳其實施進(jìn)一步制裁，此舉導(dǎo)致土貨幣里拉再次貶值。以下是土耳其城市伊茲密爾當(dāng)?shù)厥忻竦姆磻?yīng)。我們不應(yīng)做出讓步，美國雖然很遙遠(yuǎn)，但它想在這個地區(qū)展現(xiàn)他的政治力量。雖然我們所能做的很少，但是還是來一起抵制美國吧。其實，我對此并不擔(dān)心，因為我相信政府肯定會采取措施的。但是，進(jìn)一步制裁的威脅可能會導(dǎo)致一些投機(jī)行為，比如短時性貨幣波動。當(dāng)土耳其市場關(guān)閉時，國際市場將受到投機(jī)風(fēng)波的影響。

The CRIcketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has been elected as Pakistan's 22nd Prime Minister. Secunder Kermani is in Islamabad. Imran Khan was comfortably elected Prime Minister by 176 votes to 96. The announcement in Parliament was greeted by applause and cheers. Imran Khan will formally take office in a ceremony tomorrow morning in Islamabad. He campaigned on a promise to create new corruption-free and more equal society, but will inherit a country facing a mounting financial CRIsis and with a troubled political past. Whether as a result of military coups or corruption allegations, no Prime Minister in Pakistan's history has ever successfully completed a term in office.

板球運(yùn)動員出身的政治家伊姆蘭•汗當(dāng)選巴基斯坦第22任總理。以下是斯空達(dá)•科蒙尼在伊斯蘭堡的報道。伊姆蘭•汗以176票比96票成績輕松當(dāng)選總理。國會的這一消息贏得了掌聲和歡呼聲。伊姆蘭•汗將在明天早上伊斯蘭堡舉行的儀式上正式就職。他在競選時承諾將會創(chuàng)造一個沒有貪污、更加公平的社會，但是他接手的國家面臨著不斷加劇的財政危機(jī)，以及一片狼藉的政治歷史。不管是由于軍事政變還是貪污指控，在巴基斯坦歷史上，還沒有哪任總統(tǒng)可以完成任期。

The current monsoon season in India has killed more than 900 people. The state of Kerala has been hardest hit. Here is Yogita Limaye. Water has been surging into homes and villages in several districts of Kerala. A continuous heavy downpour has meant many of the state's 41 rivers are overflowing. The monsoon season always brings torrential rains to the state, but this year is different. Thousands of stock are now moving to higher ground or upper floors of the buildings they live in. Those who can are wading through water for miles to reach safe areas. Shelters have been set up wherever possible, where food and other supplies are being provided to hundreds of thousands of people who have been left homeless.
