Egyptian officials say a large car bomb has exploded near a security building on the northern outskirts of Cairo, 22 people were injured in the blast, including 6 policemen. Officials said the bomb had been detonated by a remote control. Bill T is a Cairo-based journalist.

埃及官員稱開羅北部市郊地區(qū)一家證券交易所附近發(fā)生一起車輛爆炸，造成22人受傷，包括6名警察。官員表示，這起爆炸由遠程監(jiān)控檢測到的。下面是駐開羅記者比爾發(fā)回的報道：

"It was a car bomb blast at a state security building in xx, which is about 10 kilometers north of the centre of the capital. The Interior Ministry has confirmed that the assailant apparently left the car outside the building and xx away by a motorcycle." There's been no word on who carried out the attack, but insurgents allied with the Islamic State have vowed to continue to strike Egypt's security forces.

這起發(fā)生在開羅市郊國有證券交易所附近的車輛爆炸，在首都中心向北約10公里處。內政部長已經證實行兇者故意將車停在交易所外面，并且乘摩托車快速離開。目前這起爆炸制造者還未確認，然而，和IS 同盟的起義者發(fā)誓將繼續(xù)打擊埃及安全武裝力量。

The United States has submitted draft proposals for UN arms embargo on South Sudan after its president Salva Kiir refused to sign a peace deal. The agreement is meant to put an end to the 22-month-old conflict, which pitched troops loyal to the president against forces allied to his former deputy Riek Marcha. He's already signed the accord. But Mr Kiir has said he needed several more days for consultation.

美國在南蘇丹總統(tǒng)拒簽和平協(xié)議之后，向聯(lián)合國遞交一份草案，要求向南蘇丹禁運軍事武器。那項和平協(xié)議旨在結束忠于政府的軍隊和前副總統(tǒng)雷克領導的反政府軍事力量之間的長達22個月的沖突，雷克已按照要求簽署了協(xié)議。但是薩爾瓦稱他需要更多的時間來考慮商談。

The Brazilian Lower House of Congress has approved a bill, which lowers the age of criminal responsibility from 18 to 16. The bill is a constitutional amendment, and still faces two votes in the Senate. It's a controversial issue that split Brazilian society. Julia K reports from Rio.

巴西下議院通過了將犯罪定責年齡從18歲降到16歲的法案。該法案是憲法附加條例，在上議院仍需經過兩重投票。這是個備具爭議的話題，有可能分裂巴西。下面是朱利安·K 從里約熱內盧發(fā)回的報道：

"If this change is approved, teenagers between 16 and 18 years of age in Brazil will face the same sentences as adults for crimes such as murder with intent to kill and rape. Currently, they're sent to juvenile centres, where the maximum detention period for any crime is a three years. Those in favour of reducing the age of criminal responsibility say the current system breeds a feeling of impunity among young offenders and encourages crime."

如果這項改正通過，巴西16歲到18歲的青少年將會為罪行，比如蓄意謀殺、殺人和強奸等罪，面臨和成人相同的罪行處罰。目前，他們只是被判處進到少管所，那里不管什么罪行，最高拘留期為三年。一些希望降低青少年犯罪懲罰年齡的人士表示，現有體制有種青少年免受法律懲罰、鼓勵犯罪的感覺。

The United Nations Humanitarian Chief Stephen O'Brien has strongly criticised the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen for bombing the port of Hodaidah, saying it was a violation of the International Humanitarian Law. Mr O'Brien stressed that Hodaidah was an important lifeline for bringing in food and medicine.

聯(lián)合國人權部長奧布萊恩強烈指責以沙特為首的同盟軍在也門爆炸港口城市Hodaidah,指責該舉動違反了國際人權主義保護法。奧布萊恩強調稱，Hodaidah是運輸食物和藥品的生命線。

"I'm extremely concerned that the damage to the port of Hodiadah could have a severe impact on the entire country, and would deepen humanitarian needs, making more people food insecure, leaving them without access to water or medicines, and which could also mean the spread of disease."

我非常擔憂Hodaidah港口的破壞會對整個國家造成嚴重影響、增加人道主義需求，使更多的人食物來源不穩(wěn)，沒有水或者藥物供給，同時也意味著疾病傳播。

A report says scientists may have overestimated the level of carbon emissions in China over the past decade, because of confusion about the type of coal being used there. The research team, writing in the journal Nature, said more low-grade coal had been burned in Chinese power stations than was previously thought, and that the fuel produced up to 40% less carbon.

有報道稱，在過去幾十年里對中國二氧化碳排放量評估過高，這是因為混淆了中國使用的煤炭種類。《自然》雜志上記載了調查小組表示，中國動力站燃燒的煤炭比之前預想的級別要低，這種煤炭的炭排放量最少少排40%的二氧化碳。

Police in the US city of St. Louis have made nine arrests during protests after police shot and killed a black teenager. Officers said an 18-year-old had pointed a handgun when they were trying to search a house in the north of the city. Dozens of demonstrators took to the streets and blocked a major road in the city.

美國圣路易斯州警方在警察開槍擊斃一名黑人青年后的游行示威中進行了9次抓捕。官員表示，當警方試圖進入北部城市一位居民家中時，一個18歲的年輕人拿槍指著他們。成群示威者走上街頭，封鎖了市中的重要通道。

A report by the US space agency NASA says that parts of California are sinking faster than ever, because too much water is being pumped out of the ground. The region is suffering a severe draught. Satellite imagery has revealed that parts of the intensively-farmed St. H Valley in Central California have experienced subsidence of up to five centimetres a month.

美國航空航天局(NASA)稱，由于過量汲取地下水。加利福尼亞州部分地區(qū)比任何時候塌陷速度要快。該地區(qū)遭受一次嚴重旱災。衛(wèi)星圖像顯示，加州中部農作物種植密度大的圣H河谷部分地區(qū)地面塌陷在一個月內下降了5厘米。

The authorities in the US state of Washington say three firefighters were killed while battling a fast-moving wide fire. Laura B reports.

美國官方政府稱有三名消防官兵在滅快速移動的森林大火時犧牲。下面是勞拉報道：

"The three firefighters were killed as they tried to save the town of Twisp in the north of the Washington State. Four others are being treated in hospital. Residents were told to leave the area, as high winds fanned the fast-moving flames. Conditions are said to be very dangerous. Nearly 30,000 firefighters and support staff are battling blazers across ten western US states, and around seven million acres of land have gone up in flames this year. The US military announced this week that it would be sending in troops to help."

這三名消防官兵在拯救華盛頓州北部特維斯普城鎮(zhèn)時犧牲，另有4名消防官兵住院。當地居民已撤離該區(qū)域，強風加速火勢增長。這里情況非常惡劣。美國西部的州將近派遣30.000名消防官兵和協(xié)管人員滅火，今年有將近7百萬的森林消失于火中。美國軍方宣布本周將派遣增援部隊。

Scientists in the United States say they've come up with a new way of helping to fight climate change: using carbon in the atmosphere to build nano fibres. These are tiny complex strands used in medicine, the textile industry and in expensive industrial components. The researchers say they've devised a process through which a liquid sole, heated by solar power, drinks in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and produces ten grams of fibres an hour. Sceptics are impressed by the chemistry, but say they doubt whether it could ever produce enough to tackle climate change.

美國科學家稱他們研究出一種應對氣候變化的方法：運用大氣里的碳纖維建立納米網絡。這些是應用在藥物制造，紡織工業(yè)和昂貴的工業(yè)部件上的極小極復雜的紋理。研究人員表示，他們通過一種單一液體、太陽能加熱、碳飲料中的二氧化碳設計出了此過程，每一個小時生產10克的網絡，一些持懷疑態(tài)度的人士對化學程序印象深刻，但是他們擔憂是否能夠生產出足量的網絡應對氣候變化。
