At least two people are reported to have been killed when police opened fire when local people joined the disturbance1 in the town of Koidu. Our correspondent M. F. who was in the capital Freetown has been speaking to police about the woman's case.

Her son refused to have her taken away, and when police and soldiers went there to forcibly remove her as well as quarantine the house as something that was required, the youth, and according to the police local unit's commander super intendant David Kuruma, the youth had started pelting2 stones at them, and they also have to defend themselves; it led to serious riots in Koidu, which have had led the police imposing3 a daytime curfew.

Judge Thokozile Masipa took her time; she rejected the defence's argument that prison would break the disabled athlete emotionally and physically6. But she also declared that she wouldn't be swayed by an angry public outcry for vengeance7. The five-year sentence means the athlete could be released after serving just 10 months. Outside the courtroom I asked Reeva Steenkamp's parents June and Barry for their reaction.

Opium9 poppy cultivation10 in Afghanistan has reached an all-time high according to a US report, despite the fact that Washington had spent more than 7.5 billion dollars over 13 years trying to eradicate11 it. Afghanistan produces about 80 percent of the world's opium, J. G. reports.

据美国方面报道尽管美国在过去13年里花费了75亿以上美元来铲除阿富汗罂粟,但是现在阿富汗的罂粟种植面积仍达到历史最高。阿富汗的鸦片产量达到世界总产量80%。J.G.报道。

The US report describes the level of opium poppy cultivation last year as unprecedented12. It predicts that this year, given what it calls 'deteriorating13 security' in many parts of the country and low levels of eradication14, the figure is likely to be even higher. Provinces such as Nangarhar in the east previously15 hailed the poppy-free marvelous success have also seen a surge in production. The value of the crop was nearly three billion dollars last year, an increase of 50% in a single year.

美国报道称阿富汗去年罂粟种植面积是历史上前所未有的最高水平。由于所谓的该国多地日益恶化的安全局势,和去除罂粟力度的降低,预计今年种植面积将达到更高。例如东部楠格哈尔省对罂粟种植没有限制所以出现产量激增情况。去年罂粟产值达到了三十亿美元,一年的时间里增长了50%。

The Pentagon says it's examining a video posted by Islamic State militants18 which appears to show the group's fighters in control of a bundle of military aid airdropped by US-led forces for Kurdish fighters in Syria. From Washington, Rajini Vaijinason reports.

五角大楼表示正在对伊斯兰武装分子发布的一个视频进行检测。视频显示恐怖组织分子控制了由美国空军向叙利亚库尔德战士提供的一捆空投武器。Rajini Vaijinason从华盛顿发回报道。

The video shows a fighter, his face covered with a black Bali-cover, rifling through boxes containing hand grenades and waters. The backdrop is a barren landscape and it's unclear where the video was shot. US officials say they've seen it but aren't yet in a position to confirm its authenticity19. On Sunday night, US planes dropped parcels containing small weaponry for Kurdish fighters around the Syrian town of Kobani. The Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby confirms that the vast majority of these had ended up in the right hands but said he was aware of one which hadn't.

The board of control for cricket in India says it's planning to take legal actions against the West Indies for canceling a Tour of India on short notice. The series was called off last week because of a pay dispute between the West Indies cricket board and its players. Here's Alex Capstick.

印度板球管理委员会表示计划采取法律行动反对西印度群岛突然取消印度游行的行为。印度之旅在上周突然叫停,原因是西印度群岛板球委员会和球员之间的争执。Alex Capstick发回报道。

India's hard-line stance is no surprise; the richest and most powerful governing body in world cricket was furious over the West Indies' abrupt20 departure halfway21 through the series. But it's a decision which could have severe ramifications22 for the game in the Caribbean. India's next trip to the region was scheduled for 2016. But unless the situation changes, it won't happen and the cash-drought West Indies board will lose the whopping sponsorship and broadcast revenues it generates.

印度强硬的立场并不足以为奇。西印度群岛最富有和最强大的管理机构在印度进行旅游进行一半时突然中断印度之旅。但是这一决定可能在接下来加勒比海比赛中产生严重后果。印度下一次访问该地区的行程时间为2016年。但是除非发生紧急情况,不然不会出现在西印度群岛类似事件,这将会失去巨大赞助。
