The Palestinians have formally applied1 to join International Criminal Court, a step that both Israel and?the?US would expect to oppose vigorously. The submission2 of the ICC membership application by the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas could open the way for investigations4 into alleged5 Israeli war crimes in Gaza and the West bank. Alan Johnston?reports.
巴勒斯坦正式申请加入国际刑事法院，不出所料遭到以色列和美国方面强烈反对。由巴勒斯坦领导人阿巴斯提出的国际刑事法院申请将会对以色列加沙和西岸战争进行调查。下面是本台记者发回的报道。
“After years of failed peace negotiations6 with Israel, the Palestinian leadership under Mahmoud Abbas is determined7 to open up a new front by applying to join the ICC, is hoping to be able to drag Israel into the dock for its alleged crimes in occupied territories. As expected, there has been a swift and angry response from Israelis, who’ve threatened unspecified countermeasures. And the Palestinian move to join the court could lead to attempts to prosecute8 their militant9 groups, like Hamas, for alleged breaches10 of international law.”?
在与以色列经过数年协商失败之后巴勒斯坦阿巴斯领导团队决定开辟新道路，向国际刑事法院提交申请成为其成员国，并希望将以色列拖入发动战争占领其领土罪名。正如所料，以色列快速且愤怒的对这一举动进行了回复，并威胁称要采取尚不明确的应对措施。而巴勒斯坦加入国家法院的举动可能对其激进组织进行起诉，例如哈马斯，涉嫌违反国际法。
Migrants on the Moldovan cargo11 ship seized by the Italian authorities have told dramatic stories of how they were abandoned by people traffickers.

During the journey, their crew abandoned them, and locked the steering13. The Italian coastguards flew in to take control of the ship before it crashed into the shore. In the end, they made it. And the investigation3 into how the Blue Sky M came to be used for smuggling14 is now beginning.”??

A major fireworks display will assure in the New Year for the first time in the mainly Muslim north of Nigeria. Around 2,000 people were expected to attend the event in a newly-built sports complex in the city of Kano. Our Africa editor Richard Hamilton reports.
尼日利亚北部穆斯林主要地区烟花表演将确保在新年如期举行。预计大约2000人参加在卡诺市新建体育中心举办的烟花表演。下面是本台记者发回的报道。
“As the New Year is not part of the Muslim calendar, this event is a ground-breaking novelty for northern Nigeria. An extravagance of music, arts, and traditional dancing will precede the countdown to midnight when fireworks were lighted up to the sky. But in view of Boko Haram's campaign of violence across the region, security is tight. The complex is surrounded by a series of checkpoints and cars have to park some distances away. It's been a dark year for northern Nigeria, but its hope the guests and television audience will be able to celebrate the new year as freely as other parts of the world.”?
由于新年并不是穆斯林的庆祝活动，所以此次盛会将是尼日利亚北部开创性的新举动。在午夜倒计时之前该地区将上演精彩的音乐、艺术和传统舞蹈节目，然后将有烟花腾空升起。但考虑到博科圣地在该地区的暴力活动，当地加强了安全防范。体育馆周围有多个检查站，汽车必须在一定距离之外停放。过去一年对尼日利亚北部来说是黑暗的一年，但当地希望参观者和电视观众能像世界其他地方的人那样自由地庆祝新年。”
