Hello, Joanna Nicolson with the latest headlines from ABC News.

大家好，澳大利亚广播公司的乔安娜·尼科尔森为您报道重点新闻。

There's a fresh warning for homeowners. The Reserve Bank says a third of all mortgage borrowers have little or no buffer¹, should they run into financial troubles. This comes as the debate on using super for a home deposit deepens the rift² within the coalition³.

房屋所有者再次收到警告。澳大利亚储备银行表示，有三分之一抵押借款人的缓冲空间很小或者几乎没有，他们可能会陷入财务困境。警告发出时，澳大利亚联盟党内部的分歧正因是否允许用退休金支付房屋首付款的争论日益加深。

More and more Australians are getting work, and the jobs picture has improved dramatically. 60 thousand new jobs were created in the month of March —smashing expectations. The unemployment rate however, has remained steady at 5.9 per cent.

找到工作的澳大利亚人越来越多，就业形势明显改善。三月份新增工作岗位为6万个，远超预期。但是，失业率仍保持在5.9%。

Russia wants the United Nations to send a chemical weapon's inspection⁴ team to Syria, to figure out exactly what caused chemical gasses to be released in a rebel-held town. Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia vetoed a UN-resolution on Syria because it failed to call for such an inspection.

俄罗斯希望联合国派一支化学武器调查小组前往叙利亚，准确查明化学气体被释放到一座反对派控制城镇的原因。俄罗斯外交部长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫表示，俄罗斯否决了联合国涉叙利亚决议，因为这一决议没有要求进行上述调查。

And the notorious paedophile priest Gerald Ridsdale has confessed to more sexual abuse crimes. The new charges involve 11 children in Western Victoria, and go as far back as the 1960's. The 82 year old was due to be released from prison in two years, but is now likely to face further jail time.

臭名昭著的恋童癖牧师杰拉尔德·里兹达尔承认了更多起性虐待罪行。新指控涉及西维多利亚州的11名儿童，犯案时间最早可追溯至上世纪60年代。现年82岁的里兹达尔原定两年后获释，但是现在他很可能面临更多刑期。
