States television in Egypt says that at least 20 people have been killed and more than 30 wounded in a series of simultaneous attacks at?the northern Sinai, where the security forces are battling against Islamic extremists. Our Arab affairs editor Sebastian Usher1?reports.
埃及当地电台报道称在埃及北部西奈一系列袭击中至少有20人死亡30多人受伤。国家安全部队正与伊斯兰极端分子展开斗争。下面是本台记者发回的报道。
The brunt of the attacks was against military and police targets in the provincial2 capital el-Arish, but other towns were hit as well. A car bomb was set off outside a military base in el-Arish while mortar3 rounds were fired at other targets including a police club and several check points. Northern Sinai has long been a violent and unstable4 region. The army has launched major operations to try to stop the violence, but they so far failed. A jihadist group calling itself Ansar Beit al-Maqdis has become the biggest threat there, staging many attacks on security targets, especially since the ousting5 of the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in 2013.
最主要的袭击目标为省会阿里什，但是其他城镇也遭遇了袭击。一枚汽车炸弹在阿里什一座军事基地外爆炸，其他目标则遭遇了几轮迫击炮袭击，包括一辆警车和几个检查点。西奈半岛北部长期以来一直是一个暴力而动荡的地区。军方发起了重大行动，试图阻止暴力活动，但是目前为止一直未取得成功。一个自称“耶路撒冷支持者”的圣战组织已经成为该地区最大的威胁，对安全目标发动了多次袭击，尤其是自从2013年伊斯兰总统穆尔西被推翻以来。
In Mexico City rescuers are sifting6 through the rubble7 of a maternity8 hospital that partially9 collapsed10 when a truck carrying liquid gas exploded. The federal district mayor Miguel Angel Mancera Espinosa now says a woman and a baby have died. Officials had reported seven deaths. The city's civil defence director said more people probably still in the rubble. Juan Carlos Paris is BBC Mundo correspondent in Mexico City.
一辆装有液化燃气的卡车在墨西哥发生爆炸，造成医院部分坍塌。救援人员正在一座妇产医院的废墟中寻找幸存者。联邦市长Miguel?Angel?Mancera表示，一名妇女和一名婴儿遇难。官方此前曾报告称有7名遇难者。该市民防系统负责人表示，可能还有很多人被埋在废墟下。下面是本台记者从墨西哥发回的报道。
Fifty percent of the building was destroyed by this blast. It happened at 7am in the morning here while the lorry was giving some gas, liquid gas, to the hospital. It was given to the kitchen. But the kitchen was very close to the area where the children were in their cribs. I have to say that the driver and two of the helpers have been arrested, and they are now being interrogated11 by the police about what happened there.
百分之五十的建筑被爆炸摧毁。爆炸发生在早上7点，当时罐车正向医院运输气体和液体。这些气体被输送往厨房，但是厨房距离医院新生儿区非常近。我不得不说这名司机和两名助手已经被逮捕，现在正在接受警方询问。

在布鲁塞尔举行的欧盟外交部长特别会议上达成了一致意见同意延长对俄罗斯的经济制裁直到9月份。会议并没有就增加新经济制裁达成一致意见。欧盟外交政策负责人Federica Mogherini对一系列决定做出了概括。

And let me also underline three different things: extension in the time of the existing sanctions when it comes to the list, preparation for decision in 10 days next week, proposal and decision in next 10 days of new names to add to the list, which is additional; and third, to start the preparation of any further measure."

The government in Portugal has approved rules allowing descendants of Jews who were expelled from the country centuries ago to claim Portuguese19 citizenship20. Applicants21 will have to prove a strong link to Portugal as Alison Roberts explains.
葡萄牙政府通过了一系列规定，允许几个世纪前被驱逐出去的犹太人后裔申请葡萄牙公民身份。申请人必须证明与葡萄牙之间有强烈的联系。下面是本台记者发回的报道。
This might, the government said, be a combination of surname, language used in the family or proof of direct descent. Many of the thousands of Jews expelled in 1497, five years after Spain's own order of expulsion or who fled later to avoid forced conversion22 to Christianity, continued to use a form of Portuguese in their new communities in Amsterdam, Istanbul, New York and across Brazil. As the government notes Jews settled in this part of Iberia long before the kingdom of Portugal was founded in the 12th century. At present only a few thousands live here, but according to officials numerous Sephardic Jews from around the globe are now showing an interest in applying for nationality.
政府表示，这些联系可能是姓氏，家庭使用的语言或者说明他们是葡萄牙后裔的直接证明。1497年，西班牙下令驱逐，或者不愿被迫皈依基督教的数十万犹太人被驱逐离开葡萄牙。许多人在阿姆斯特丹，伊斯坦布尔，纽约和巴西新的社区仍然使用以前的葡萄牙语。政府指出，在葡萄牙王国12世纪建立以前很长时间，犹太人已经在伊比利亚地区定居。目前，只有几千人居住在这里。但是据官员们所说，全球各地诸多犹太人对申请葡萄牙国际表现出了兴趣。
