Top level talks between the United States and Russia to try to ease the crisis over Ukraine have ended in stalemate. After hours of discussions in London, the Russian foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, said there had been no common vision with his US counterpart John Kerry. Speaking through an interpreter, Mr. Lavrov said a referendum on Sunday in Crimea on whether to join Russia should go ahead on schedule.
美国和俄罗斯之间旨在缓解乌克兰危机的高层会谈最终陷入僵局。在伦敦进行了几个小时的讨论后，俄罗斯外长拉夫罗夫表示，他与美国国务卿约翰·克里没有任何共同观点。通过翻译讲话时，拉夫罗夫表示，周日克里米亚决定是否加入俄罗斯的全民公投将如期举行。
We have repeated our position that was expressed by the President of the Russian Federation1. We will respect the will of people of Crimea. That would be expressed at the referendum on the 16th of March.

Russia's foreign ministry3 claimed that pro-Moscow demonstrators had been set upon by far-right activists4 backed by the government in Kiev. But the governor of Donetsk region Sergei Taruta told me that none of that corresponded to reality. He accused Russians of aggressive rhetoric5. It is a war of words which erupted in violence yesterday, and there is concern here, that there could be more unrest in the coming days.
俄罗斯外交部声称，亲莫斯科示威者受到基辅政府支持的右翼积极分子的袭击。但是顿涅茨克州长Sergei Taruta告诉我，这完全与事实不符。他指控俄罗斯人侵犯性的语言。这场语言之争昨天引发了暴力，有人担忧未来几天形势可能更加动荡。
Information is emerging that the Malaysian Airlines plane missing since Saturday continued to send routine alternative signals at least 5 hours after it was reported lost. The BBC has learned that the signals were received by a satellite company based in London. A BBC correspondent says there is no way they could have been sent unless the plane was intact and had power. He said the information should make it possible to calculate an approximate position for the aircraft.
有消息上周六失踪的马来西亚航空客机在报道失踪后至少五个小时仍然自动发送信号。BBC了解到，信号是由伦敦一家卫星公司收到的。BBC一名通讯员表示，除非飞机完好无损并有动力供应，否则信号不可能发送。他表示，根据这些信息或许可以推算出飞机的大概位置。

由于对运动员奧斯卡·皮斯托利斯(Oscar Pistorius)谋杀案进行审判，南非警方的能力受到公众关注。Andrew Harding在比勒陀利亚报道。
Under cross examination, the first officer to arrive at Oscar Pristorius' home was obliged to acknowledge a series of basic errors. The athlete's gun was handled without protective gloves. At least one of his expensive watches were stolen from his bedroom before the forensic8 teams had even finished their work. Evidence was moved around, it was even alleged9 the police had lied in their statements about the time a key detective had arrived. The athlete's lawyers have raised some serious questions today about the police's handling of the crime scene, but the judge will have to decide whether the prosecution's case has been undermined.
在盘问过程中，第一位到达皮斯托利斯家中的警官被迫承认了一系列基本错误。这位运动员的枪支没有配备安全手套，法证人员没有完成工作之前至少一块名表在卧室中被盗。证据被移动，甚至有人指控警方关于关键侦探到案发现场的时间说谎。今天，这位运动员的代表律师针对警方对犯罪现场的处理提出了一些严肃的问题。但是法官必须判断这宗检控案件是否已被破坏。
