President Obama has authorized1 the deployment2 of an extra 1,500 military personnel to Iraq. The Pentagon said the troops will have a non-combat role and their main duty would be to expand the existing mission to advise and assist Iraqi armed forces fighting Islamic State militants3. They'll join the several hundred US troops already in Iraq. Tom E. reports from Washington.
奥巴马总统已经授权派遣额外1500名军事工作人员前往伊拉克。五角大楼表示此军队不会参与到战斗中去，主要任务是对现有战争几乎提供策略部署建议，并协助伊拉克军队对抗伊斯兰恐怖组织。这些军事人员将会加入到之前派遣到伊拉克的队伍中去。本台记者从华盛顿发回报道。
The Pentagon said the request for the additional troops was based on its own assessment4 of Iraqi armed forces and the progress they've made. The personnel who will join the several hundred US troops already there are to help set up two training centers outside Erbil and Baghdad. It's said several other locations around the country will be identified at which 12 Iraqi brigades including three Peshmerga brigades can be trained. In addition, the White House said it would ask Congress for more than five billion dollars to help fund the fight against the Islamic State militants.?
五角大楼方面表示对军队的请求是基于伊拉克军队评估基础和现阶段取得的进展情况而发出的。即将加入到数百名美国军事人员队伍中的士兵将会协助在埃尔比勒和巴格达附近建立两个军事训练中心。并表示伊拉克其他地区的12个旅可以接受训练，其中包括三个自由斗士旅可以得到军事训练。另外，白宫方面表示将会向国会要求提供50亿美元资金用于对抗伊斯兰武装分子。
European politicians are examining Britain's claim that it's halved6 its additional contribution to the European Union budget. The Chancellor7 of the Exchequer8 said Britain would only pay 50% of the bill. But that's not exactly how other EU ministers said. D. D. reports.?
欧洲政客对英国称对欧盟预算支付减半的做法提出质疑。英国财政大臣说英国将只支付预算的50%。但是这并不是欧盟部长的看法。
George Osborn said he secured the outcome far beyond their expectations. The bill of a 2.7 billion dollars the UK owes the EU contribution have been halved, he said. The payment delayed and there would be no interest levy9. Other finance ministers who'd been around the table put it all simply. There was agreement they said there only on one of Britain's demands. The UK is being given leniency10 because the sum is so large. Instead of having to pay by December 1st this year, it will have until September next year. But there was no agreement on the UK's second demand to reduce the total the UK owes. However by delaying its payments, the UK will be able to deduct11 the money EU owes it in rebate12 and so hand over less actual cash.
乔治·奥斯本说他争取的结果远超出预期，他说，英国欠欧盟的27亿美元的账单已被减半。该款项已经被拖欠，且不会存在利息。与会的其他财长们简单介绍了下，他们说已就英国的要求达成一致。因为账单数额很大，所以英国得到宽恕。英国现在无需在今年12月1日付清，可以到明年9月支付。但对于英国希望减少账单数额的第二个要求来说，目前尚未达成一致。不过现在能拖延时日，英国就能将欠款打折扣，这样就少缴纳现金。
International Police have closed down 400 websites operating on the hidden side of the Internet, readily used to trade child pornography, drugs and arms. Several vendors13 and administrators14 linked to what's known as the dark web had been arrested. D. U. is the head of Europol's European Cybercrime Unit.?
国际警察关闭了400家搜索引擎无法搜索到的网站，这些网站被用来进行儿童色情，毒品和武器交易。此黑网站相关的犯罪嫌疑人和管理者已经被逮捕。D. U.是欧洲网络犯罪刑警组织机构负责人。
This website that we have identified has been removed. So the whole infrastructure15 has also gone. We hope this will also be a significant boost to the weakened course to repair this. Those we haven't caught can be up and running again. But then we will take them down once again. And this will be a costly16 affair. So it's not risk-free and it's not cost-free to run businesses on the dark and this is also a politic5 signal.
我们发现的这一黑色网站已经被关闭。所以整个运行网络也已经消失。我们希望能从此次行动中吸取经验教训。还有些犯罪嫌疑人仍逍遥法外，但当他们再次出现的时候我们终究会逮捕他们。这将是一件非常有意义的事情。所以经营黑色网络具有风险性，同时也具有回报，同时还是一个政治信号。
The medical charity Médecins sans Frontières says there has been a very significant reduction in cases of Ebola in Liberia. However, MSF warned that the number of cases was increasing in Guinea and Sierra Leon, and that a previous drop in infections in Guinea had flared17 up again.?
医疗慈善机构无国界医生组织称利比里亚在遏制埃博拉方面取得非常大的进展，但该组织警告说，几内亚和塞拉利昂的埃博拉病例数量在增多，而且之前感染数量有所降低的几内亚现在再次增多起来。

Ukraine has accused Russia of sending a heavily armed column of troops into its territory. A Ukrainian military spokesman said a convoy18 made up of tanks, heavy artillery19 and trucks crossed its eastern boarder into the rebel-held Luhansk region. NATO said that if confirmed, it would be further evidence of Russia's direct involvement in destabilizing Ukraine.
乌克兰指责俄罗斯派遣武装部队进入其领土。一位乌克兰军队发言人称一队由坦克车队，重型火炮和卡车组成的车队穿过其东部边境进入叛军控制的卢甘斯克地区。北约组织称如果这一说法得到证实将会成为俄罗斯直接干预乌克兰不稳定局面的证据。

布基纳法索临时领导人 Izzag Zida上校拒绝由中非联盟设定的权力转交时间。在与反对派领导人和民间社会团体举行会议之后 Izzag Zida上校称他不惧怕制裁的威胁。非洲联盟表达了其将采取制裁的决定。非洲联盟副主席E.M.告诉BBC记者称制裁措施将包括暂时取消其非洲联盟成员身份。
I think at this time we want to refrain from putting a gun on their head and allow them to discuss. But of course, I mean, at the end of the two-week period, we will meet and reveal and obviously the sanctions will kick in. And the standard of sanctions of course we start with the suspension from membership of the African Union and then other sanctions would follow.
我认为在这个时候我们不应该给予他们太大压力，但是我的意思是，在两周最后的结束时间，我们将会举行会议高调实施制裁。标准制裁当然从暂停其非洲成员国身份开始，随后采取其他制裁。
