大家好,我是蘇·蒙哥馬利,為您播報(bào)BBC新聞。
African leaders are meeting in Kenya to discuss ways to stop the poaching of elephants and save the animals from extinction. The Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta called for a decisive action to stop the illegal trade in ivory. Anne Soy is in Nairobi. When you look at the statistics in the 1930s and 1940s, there were about 3 to 5 million elephants, but today that population has been disseminated by a factor of 10. There are about just 400,000 elephants. And every year, 30 to 40 thousand are killed. So it means that in about a decade or so, if these slaughter goes on unabated, then they could face extinction. So part of the goals of this meeting is to raise funds to support conservation but the other thing they're also talking about, which they say is very important, is getting communities to support anti-poaching efforts.
非洲領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人相聚肯尼亞共同商討阻止獵殺大象、保護(hù)滅絕動(dòng)物的辦法。肯尼亞總統(tǒng)烏胡魯·肯雅塔呼吁采取果斷行動(dòng)制止非法象牙貿(mào)易。安妮·索爾在內(nèi)羅比為您報(bào)道。20世紀(jì)30年代和40年代的數(shù)據(jù)顯示,當(dāng)時(shí)約有300萬-500萬的大象。但是現(xiàn)在人口數(shù)量增加了10倍,但是只有約40萬只大象。每年約有3萬到4萬只大象遭到殺害。這意味著,如果這種殺戮行為繼續(xù),10年后大象就面臨著滅絕危機(jī)。所以,會(huì)議的目的之一就是籌集資金支持保護(hù)動(dòng)物,但是各位非洲領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人還要討論,獲得國際社會(huì)的共同努力支持反獵殺行為,他們認(rèn)為這非常重要。
The embattled South African president Jacob Zuma will learn today whether the high court in Pretoria intends to reinstate nearly 800 corruption charges against him. In 2009, the acting director of Public Prosecutions withdrew them, a move that enabled Mr Zuma's election later that year. The opposition democratic alliance says the prosecutor's decision was politically motivated. Nomsa Maseko is in Pretoria. The democratic alliance wants the court to set aside the controversial decision taken in 2009 by then acting prosecution's head to drop more than 700 corruption charges against president. The decision was based on evidence that the timing of the indictment against Mr Zuma had been manipulated to block his political ambitions. The evidence emerged from spy tapes which are recordings of phone conversations between South Africa's former spy chief and former top prosecutor in which they allegedly plotted to block Mr Zuma in his quest to be president of the country.
南非總統(tǒng)雅各布·祖馬,四面楚歌,今日比勒陀利亞高級法院將宣布是否恢復(fù)對雅各布·祖馬800項(xiàng)的貪污指控。2009年,南非代理總檢察長宣布撤銷對雅各布·祖馬貪腐指控,這一舉措使得祖馬能參加數(shù)周后的選舉。反對黨民主聯(lián)盟表示,檢察官的決定是出于政治動(dòng)機(jī)。Nomsa Maseko在比勒陀利亞為您報(bào)道。民主黨聯(lián)盟希望法院擱置對祖馬撤銷指控的決定,認(rèn)為雅各布·祖馬應(yīng)該重新面臨700多項(xiàng)的腐敗指控。當(dāng)時(shí)撤銷對祖馬的指控是因?yàn)橛凶C據(jù)表明有人試圖干預(yù)祖馬的政治雄心而制作了指控事件。證據(jù)是一則電話錄音,關(guān)于南非的前情報(bào)局長同前任檢查官之間的對話。對話顯示,他們涉嫌密謀阻止祖馬成為南非總統(tǒng)。
Hundreds of demonstrators have blocked traffic outside a venue in California where the Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump was holding a rally. A number of arrests were made.

Civil defense workers in the Syrian city of Aleppo now say at least 35 people were killed by government airstrikes that hit a hospital on Wednesday night. The group known as the White Helmets were still digging through the rubber 24 hours after the bomb struck. More than 200 people are reported to have died in Aleppo in the past week from rebel shelling as well as government airstrikes. Sam Taylor of the charity Doctors without Borders says they're appalled. This is not the first time. This is the 7th time that a Doctors without Borders supported hospital has been attacked this year alone and there were many more hospitals that MSF does not support. So this continuing attacks on medical structures is horrific.
