President Barack Obama has sought to reassure1 the American people following revelations that US intelligence agencies have conducted large-scale surveillance of telephone and internet activity. Mr Obama said nobody was listening to the routine phone calls of Americans while the internet checks did not apply to US citizens. The president said the measures were needed to give Americans safe while protecting their privacy.
据透露，美国情报机构进行了大规模的电话和互联网活动监督，对此总统巴拉克·奥巴马安慰美国人民。他说，没有人会收听美国人日常的电话，而网络监察并不适用于美国公民。总统说需要采取措施，兼顾美国人的安全和隐私。
"I think it’s important to recognise that you can’t have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience. We are going to have to make some choices as a society.”
“我想重要的是要承认，不可能有百分之百的安全和百分之百的隐私，同时没有任何不便。我们整个社会必须做出一些选择。”

The setting is informal. There is a “no neckties” policy and some of the biggest global issues will be discussed over dinner and drinks between the world’s two most powerful leaders. It’ll be a chance for the men to build the working and the personal relationship to tackle some of the sticking points the two superpowers have already had over cyber security and trade, North Korea, Syria and the South China Sea, and it will be a chance to begin a dialogue to prevent future issues escalating2. President Xi recently told a top US official that a new type of great-power relationship was required. This will be the first chance to define what shape that may take.
这次会议并不正式，两人都没有系领带，全球两大国的领袖在就餐和喝酒期间谈论了一些最重要的全球话题。两人借此机会建立起工作和个人关系，来解决两大国在网络安全和贸易、朝鲜、叙利亚和南中国海问题上的关键问题，还有机会构建对话来预防未来问题的升级。习主席最近告诉美国一位高级官员，需要建立新型的大国关系。这次峰会将首次确定这种关系的形态。

I was still curious, so I didn’t turn around and leave immediately. I got behind the bookstore and I heard somebody discharging like a hook weapon of ammunition4. I got very scared.”

The third and last debate between Iranian presidential candidates has seen one of the front runners Saeed Jalili criticised for the way that talks on the country’s nuclear programme have been conducted. One of the other candidates, Ali Akbar Velayati, said that talks under the current negotiating team led by Mr Jalili were deeply flawed. He said they’d failed to achieve the aims of securing Iran’s nuclear rights and ending international sanctions.

The drone strike took place in a remote valley in the tribal10 region of North Waziristan near the Afghan border. The timing11 will be uncomfortable for Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Nawas Sharif. It’s just two days since he said drone strikes must end and his country’s sovereignty must be respected. Local reports say a number of missiles hit a compound. It’s unclear who the target was, but several militant8 groups have camps in the area, including the Pakistan Taliban. Its deputy leader was killed in a drone strike last week.
无人机空袭发生在与阿富汗接壤的北部瓦济里斯坦部落地区一处偏远山谷，这个时机对巴基斯坦新任总理纳瓦兹·谢里夫来说并不好。就在两天前，他还表示必须结束无人机袭击，称必须尊重该国的主权。当地报道称多枚导弹袭击了一个院落，尚不清楚袭击对象是什么，但几个武装组织在该地区都有营地，包括巴基斯坦塔利班，其副职领袖上周在无人机空袭中丧生。

Finally, Libya has hosted its first international football match since the game’s governing body Fifa lifted a ban imposed two years ago at the start of the revolution that toppled Col Gaddafi. But the national team suffered a setback14 with hopes of playing at the World Cup when it was held to a 0:0 draw in Tripoli by the Democratic Republic of Congo.
最后一条新闻，两年前足球官方组织Fifa取消在推翻卡扎菲上校的革命前实施的禁令，目前利比亚主办自此以来的首场足球比赛。但国际队遭受挫折，在的黎波里与刚果民主共和国以1:1打平，因此很难参加世界杯。
