The Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has dissolved parliament and called a snap election as his forces continue to fight pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country.Mr.Poroshenko said a new parliament was necessary in part to remove members who are blocking reform.Elections will be held on the 26th October.The Ukrainian government said earlier on Monday that its forces had clashed with a column of tanks and armoured vehicles that crossed into the rebel held east from Russia.David Stern reports from Kiev.
乌克兰总统波罗申科已解散议会，并呼吁提前进行选举，同时其军队在该国东部继续与亲俄分裂分子作战。波罗申科说有必要建立新议会来去除掉阻挠改革的议员，选举将于10月26日举行。乌克兰政府在周一早些时候称其部队与一批坦克和装甲车发生冲突，这些车辆从俄罗斯进入叛军控制的东部地区。戴维·斯特恩在基辅报道。
Mr. Poroshenko’s announcement was expected. In July, parliament re-coalition1 fell apart, requiring the President call new elections if a new coalition could not be formed. However, new elections do hold some risks for Mr. Poroshenko. If he is unable to end the fighting in eastern Ukraine before the October vote, he risks a voter backlash, angers also rising among Ukrainians of the government’s inability to introduce reforms and tackle corruption2 which were key demands of the country’s revolution.
波罗申科的声明是人们预料到的，7月份议会再度联盟失败，如果新的联盟无法组建，这就需要政府重新选举。然而，新的选举将给波罗申科带来一些风险。如果他不能在10月选举之前结束乌克兰东部的战斗，他将面临选民反对的风险，同时政府无法引入改革并解决腐败令人们愤怒，而这些举措都是该国革命中关键的问题。

喀麦隆称近500名尼日利亚士兵越过边境，逃避与尼日利亚东北部博科圣地伊斯兰武装分子的战斗。喀麦隆军方称尼日利亚部队在Banki发生冲突后就逃跑了，抵达喀麦隆后就解除武装了。汤米·奥拉迪波在拉各斯报道。
We are hearing from the Cameroonian army that these men fled and came into Cameroon and obviously the Cameroonian military had to disarm6 them and then cop them so what we are now hearing from the Nigerian military is that this was not a group who deserted and who escaped, but rather was a tactical maneuver8 as they say in the statement. And these soldiers ended up charging through the borders and found themselves in Cameroonian soil. And Nigerian military now says that very soon these troops will find their way back to the Nigeria.
我们从喀麦隆军方了解到，这些人逃到喀麦隆，显然喀麦隆军方只得解除他们的武装，同时逮住他们，我们从尼日利亚军方那里听说，这群人不是变节逃亡，而是如他们声明所说是战略行动。这些士兵越过边境后发现自己在喀麦隆国土上，尼日利亚军队现在称这些士兵很快就能找到回尼日利亚的路。

Gospel music filled the church as speakers asked the congregation to remember Michael Brown mot with violence but with peace. His killing10 earlier this month sparked protests and violent riots in Ferguson. Outside the church, local people said the funeral and the story of Michael Brown had brought their community together. Many who attended the funeral said they’re glad the case has brought national attention, but they still want justice and still need to see real change in the way they feel African Americans unfairly treated by the police across the country.
