(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Ukrainian troops forced pro-Russian insurgents¹ out of a key stronghold in the country's embattled east on Saturday, signaling the government may finally be making gains in the battle against the separatist insurgency². The rebels vowed³ to regroup and fight on.

Video posted online Saturday purportedly⁴ shows Abu Bark Al-Barghdadi, leader of the Islamic State Group that was overrun much of Syria and Iraq, delivering a sermon at a mosque⁵ in Mosul, Iraq. If truly him, it would be a rare if not the first public appearance by the shadowy militant⁶.

Brazil's injured soccer star Neymar appeared in a video message Saturday, to thank fans and others for their support. He says even though he is out of the game with a fractured vertebra, his dream of celebrating a World Cup victory with his teammates next Sunday is still very much alive.

And Czech left-hander Petra Kvitova easily won her second Wimbledon title on Saturday. She beat Eugenie Bouchard of Canada 6-3, 6-0 in less than an hour.
