Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has dissolved parliament and called a snap election as his forces continue to fight pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country. Mr. Poroshenko said a new parliament was necessary in part to remove members who were blocking reform. Elections will be held on the 26th of October. Ukrainian government said early on Monday that its forces had clashed with a column of tanks and armed vehicles that crossed into the rebel-held East from Russia. David Stern reports from Kiev.
乌克兰总统波罗申科下令解散议会，并提前进行议会选举来继续应对乌克兰东部亲俄叛军战争。波罗申科表示重新选举议会成员是对删除阻止改革成员必要工作。选举工作将定于十月26日进行。乌克兰政府表示在周一早上其军队与一队来自俄罗斯的坦克和武装车辆在叛军控制的乌克兰东部地区发生冲突。David Stern在基辅报道。
Mr. Poroshenko’s announcement was expected. In July, parliament re-coalition1 fell apart, requiring the President to call new elections if a new coalition could not be formed. However, new elections do hold some risks for Mr. Poroshenko. If he is unable to end the fighting in eastern Ukraine before the October vote, he risks a voter backlash. Angers also rising among Ukrainians of the government’s inability to introduce reforms and tackle corruption2 which were key demands of the country’s revolution.
波罗申科的声明是意料之中的事。早在今年7月，关于重新联合议会的计划失败了，如果新联盟不能组成的话则需要要求总统进行新的选举。然而，新的选举对于波罗申科总统来讲确实带有一定风险。如果他不能再十月选举之前结束乌克兰东部的战争，那么他或许面临着选民强烈反对的风险。同样人们也对乌克兰政府没有能力推行改革和解决腐败问题持有不满态度，并且这种不满情绪在一直上升。因为这两种问题是关乎国家改革的重点。

一场关乎苏格兰是否脱离英国独立的公投辩论在下个月开始公民投票之前举行了最后一次电视辩论。此次辩论被视为整个事件的关键一举。最近的民意调查显示反对苏格兰独立的比重占上风。在反对苏格兰独立的活动代表人Alister Darling的公开讲话中终于说出了他为什么反对苏格兰独立的原因。
“The United Kingdom is about sharing risks and rewards with our neighbors. Being part of something bigger gives us opportunity and security as well as our Scottish identity and decision making. This is the decision for which there is no turning back, but our children and generations follow will have to live with that decision. ”
依附英国可以帮助我们承担风险分享回报，作为它的一部分可以给我们作为苏格兰人身份和决策以机会和安全感。这是一种不能再回头的决定，但是我们的孩子和后代不得不伴随这个决定生活。
Alex Salmond, Scotland’s first Minister who is leading the call for independence, set out why he believed in a “yes” vote. “We are a rich nation and resourceful people. We can create a prosperous nation and a fairer society, a real vision for the people of Scotland. This is our time, it’s our moment, let us do it now.”
Alex Salmond作为苏格兰首席大臣是支持苏格兰独立的代表人，现在由他来做为什么要苏格兰独立的陈述。
我们是一个发达国家，是才华横溢的群众。我们可以创造一个更加繁荣更加公平的社会，一个真正苏格兰人民想要的国家。这是我们的时代，这是属于我们的时刻，让我们一起来创造奇迹吧。
Cameroon says nearly 500 Nigerian soldiers have fled across the border to escape fighting with Islamist militants4 from Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria. Cameroon’s army said the Nigerian troops deserted5 after clashes in the town of Banki and have been disarmed7 since arriving in Cameroon. Tomy Olatipo reports from Lagos.
喀麦隆表示有近500名尼日利亚士兵为逃避与尼日利亚北部博科圣地组织的伊斯兰武装分子交锋跨过其边界线。喀麦隆军方表示在Banki与博科圣地组织成员进行激烈交火之后便放弃了与其对抗随后逃到邻国喀麦隆解除武装。Tomy Olatipo在拉各斯报道。
We are hearing from the Cameroonian army that these men fled and came into Cameroon and obviously the Cameroonian military had to disarm6 them and then cap them so what we are now hearing from the Nigerian military is that this was not a group who deserted or who escaped, but rather was a tactical maneuver8 as they say in the statement. And these soldiers ended up charging through the borders and found themselves on Cameroonian soil, and Nigerian military now says that very soon these troops will find their way back to the Nigeria.
我们从喀麦隆军方那里听到消息称这些士兵逃到了喀麦隆境内，明显喀麦隆军队不得不对他们解除武装并安置他们到安全地带。现在我们从尼日利亚军方听到的不是一队弃城逃跑的士兵或者逃兵，而是像他们在声明中说的一种战术策略。这些士兵最终越过边境到达喀麦隆界内，现在尼日利亚军方称士兵将很快就会找到回尼日利亚的方式。
