He is asking only for the power to make clear, to make certain that the United States means what we say, that the world, when we join together in a multilateral statement, mean what we say. He's asking for authorization2 to degrade and deter3 Bashar al-Assad's capacity to use chemical weapons.

Eighty thousands gold miners have begun a strike in South Africa. As the strike began the national union of mine workers said it would accept a 10% raise instead of their original demand of 60%. From Johannesburg here's Will Ross.
南非80,000名金矿工人开始罢工。罢工开始时，全国矿工联盟表示，他们将接受10%的加薪幅度，而不是此前要求的60%。Will Ross在约翰内斯堡报道。
The General Secretary of the National Union of Mineworkers Frans Baleni told the BBC that if the gold companies offered a 10% wage increase, this would be accepted and the strike would called off. Despite this development, the main gold mining union has also issued a hard-hitting statement saying the strike would change the gold mining landscape forever. It said it was aware of the devastating15 impact industrial action would have on the economy, calling it largely a white man's economy with no benefits for poor black mine workers.

The German agency responsible for hunting down Nazi16 era war criminals has recommended that 30 former guards of the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland face charges of helping17 to commit murder even if they didn't personally kill anyone. The move follows the case of former death camp guard John Demjanjuk. Two years ago, a judge decided18 that he was guilty of facilitating mass murder even without evidence of his direct involvement.
负责追捕纳粹时代战犯的德国机构建议，波兰奥斯维辛集中营的30名前守卫应该面临谋杀罪指控，即使他们没有亲手杀害任何人。此前，死亡集中营前守卫德米扬鲁克(John Demjanjuk)被控告。两年前，一名法官决定，他犯有协助大规模谋杀罪，即使没有证据证明他直接参与。
Efraim Zuroff of the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Israel welcomed today's decision.
以色列西蒙·维森塔尔中心(Simon Wiesenthal Center)的祖洛夫(Efraim Zuroff)对今天的决定表示欢迎。
This is a good indication, this is an indication that some of the prosecutors19 in Germany are taking their tasks very seriously, and of course, the important messages that all they should not protect people committed crimes and a passage of time no way diminished the guilty of the killers20. So, certainly today, these prosecutions21 sent a very important, positive message.
这是一个好的迹象，这表明德国一些检控官非常严肃履行自己的职责。当然，今天的决定传达的信息是，任何人都不能保护犯下罪行的人，事件的过去不能冲刷谋杀者的罪行。今天，这些检控传达了非常重要，非常积极的信息。
A Communist-era prison governor in Romania has been charged with genocide. It's the first such case since the execution of the former leader Nicolae Ceausescu and his wife Elena in 1989. Our Central Europe correspondent Nick Thorpe has the details.
罗马尼亚共产主义时代一名监狱管理员被控告种族灭绝罪。这是自前独裁者齐奥塞斯库(Nicolae Ceausescu)和他的妻子1989年被处决以来的第一起类似案件。我们的中欧通讯员Nick Thorpe报道详细内容。
Alexander Visinescu now 88 years old was commander of the prison in Ramnicu Sarat in eastern Romania from 1956 to 1963. He stands accused of responsibility for the beating and starving of prisoners and denying them basic health care during his seven years in charge. Up to 100,000 are believed by historians to have died. In his defense, Mr. Visinescu has said he was simply following orders. The prosecution22 is widely seen as a test case and could lead to more trials.
现年88岁的Alexander Visinescu在1956年至1963年担任罗马尼亚东部Ramnicu Sarat市的监狱指挥官。他被指控七年任职期间殴打，饿死囚犯，拒绝为他们提供基本的医疗措施。历史学家相信，在此期间，共有100,000人死亡。Visinescu辩护称，他只是执行命令。这起控罪被广泛地视为试验性案件，可能会引发更多审判。
