Kurdish sources have told BBC that the Peshmerga fighters have broadly taken control of a strategic dam in the north of Iraq from Islamic militants2. Their ground offensives have been coordinated3 with the US forces who'd provided air cover. Jim Muir is in the Kurdish regional capital Erbil (also written Arbil).
库尔德方面告诉BBC，“自由斗士”武装分子从伊斯兰武装组织手中夺回伊拉克北部一座有战略意义大坝的控制权。其地面进攻得到了美军的空中掩护，吉姆·缪尔在库尔德地区首府埃尔比勒报道。
Basically, it seems they've taken most of the area around the dam. Some reports are saying they've taken part of the dam. It's really quite confusing. What I think we can say is they haven't taken there completely, indisputably and finally. One commander says they still got a lot of clearing-up to do, that the ISIS or Islamic State radical4 fighters left a lot of explosives, and in fact all the way, during the fighting which began very early in the morning. Just at dawn, the Peshmerga on the ground had encountered a lot of roadside bombs even suicide bombs according to some accounts.
看来他们基本上占领了大坝周围的大部分地区，有报道称他们占领了部分大坝，这点让人不解。我想我们能说的是，他们尚未彻底、明确地占领那里。一名指挥官称他们仍有许多清理工作要做，ISIS极端武装从凌晨战斗开始就留下了很多炸弹，事实上到处都是。有人说在傍晚，“自由斗士”遭遇很多路边炸弹，甚至还有自杀式爆炸。
Syrian activists5 say government warplanes have launched nearly 25 airstrikes against bases of the militant1 group Islamic State in the north of the country. The Syrian observatory6 for human rights says at least 31 Islamic State fighters were killed. Analysts7 say these are the first targeted strikes by government forces against the Islamic State formerly8 known as ISIS.
叙利亚活动人士称政府战机对该国北部“伊斯兰国”武装组织的基地发起近25次空袭，叙利亚人权观察组织称至少31名武装分子丧生。分析家称这是政府军对官方称谓为ISIS的“伊斯兰国”武装首次进行针对性的打击。
An Ebola quarantine center has been attacked and looted in the Liberian capital Monrovia. There are conflicting reports about what happened to those in the center. Our African correspondence Will Ross reports.
利比里亚首都蒙罗维亚的一处埃博拉隔离中心遭遇袭击和洗劫，有关情况的报道有相矛盾的地方。BBC驻非洲记者威尔·罗斯报道。
A group of men broke into the quarantine centre in the densely9 populated West Point area of the capital Monrovia. They looted the mattresses10 and other items. About 30 suspected Ebola patients left the facility, but the Liberian government says they've all been found and taken to a treatment centre. This incident shows the extraordinary challenges health workers face as they try to stop the spread of the deadly virus. People living in West Point were angry that the facility was set up in their neighbourhood. It's possible that the raid was aimed at closing it down.
一群男子冲进首都蒙罗维亚人口稠密的西点地区一处隔离站，他们掠走床垫等物品。30多名疑似埃博拉患者离开了隔离站，但利比里亚政府称已经全部找到，且已带回一个治疗站。这次事件表明医疗工作者在努力遏制致命病毒爆发中面临的巨大挑战，西点地区的居民对隔离站设在自己社区感到愤怒，这次袭击可能就是希望将其关闭而实施的。

Ahead of the meeting German's foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier described the situation in Ukraine as difficult and tried to curtail12 expectations.
乌克兰、俄罗斯、德国和法国外长们在柏林举行会谈，希望能就解决乌克兰持续不断的危机取得进展。在会议开始之前，德国外长弗兰克-瓦尔特·施泰因迈尔称乌克兰局势很困难，并努力降低期望值。
There are no guarantees that these talks will succeed. But I think it would be responsible not to use this willingness for talks, especially in light of the situation today and in the last couple of days.
我们不能担保这次会谈能取得成功，但我想不使用这一意愿来进行会谈就是负责的表现，尤其是考虑到如今和过去几天的局势。

Egyptian-led efforts to mediate16 indirect talks between the Palestinians and Israelis over the Gaza conflict are continuing in Cairo, as so far being no sign of a breakthrough, with the five-day truce17 currently enforced in Gaza set to expire in a length over 24 hours.
