The Yemeni government and Shiah Houthi rebels have signed an UN-brokered deal to try to end a political crisis that had seen the rebels take over key parts of the capital Sanaa. Under the accord, a new government will be formed within a month. The Houthis and the Southern Movement Herak have three days to present their candidates for a prime minister. But the Houthis have not yet signed a part of the agreement that calls for a ceasefire to begin. Sebastian Usher1 reports.
也门政府和什叶派胡塞叛军在联合国调停下签署协议，努力结束政治危机，在这场危机中，叛军占领了首都萨那的关键地区。根据协议，新政府将在一个月内成立。胡塞族和赫拉克南部运动需要在三天内推出总理候选人。但胡塞族尚未签署政府要求开始停火的协议部分，塞巴斯蒂安·亚瑟报道。
During the day the Houthis rebels took other ministries2 and military buildings raising fears of an all-out coup3. It may have been more of a show of force when they have been threatening for some time. The security forces offered little or no resistance. The deal was waiting to be signed at the Presidential Palace. It wasn't clear if the Houthis advance would scupper the agreement or it's essentially4 a part of its choreography. The result for now at least is a big political change in Yemen with the Shiah Houthis potentially gaining an unprecedented5 say in government at the expense of their main rival the Sunni Islamist movement al-Islah.
白天胡塞叛军占领了其他政府部门和军事大楼，这让人们担心会出现全面政变，可能这也是在炫耀武力，正如他们一直威胁的那样。安全部队几乎没有进行抵抗，协议将在总统官邸签署。尚不清楚胡塞族的挺进是否会毁掉协议，或者这只是其炫耀行为的一部分。至少到目前为止叛军给也门带来重大的政治改变，什叶派胡塞族可能将在政府获得前所未有的发言权，当然这是在损害其主要敌人逊尼派伊斯兰革命党利益基础之上。
Thousands of Russians have marched through the center of Moscow in their first major protest against Russia's alleged6 involvement in the Ukraine conflict. In Ukraine itself, the government had said its military forces will not pull back in the east of the country until Russian troops leave. Sierra Reins7 report.
数千名俄罗斯人走上莫斯科中心，首次抗议俄罗斯对乌克兰冲突的参与行为。在乌克兰国内，政府称除非俄军离开，其军队将不会从东部撤出。Sierra Reins报道。
As they march through central Moscow, the protestors chanted 'No to war and hands off Ukraine.' Many carried the yellow and blue Ukrainian national flag alongside the Russian colours in a show of solidarity8. Others had signs asking Ukraine to forgive them. The Kremlin has always denied that it's supporting the pro-Russia rebels in east Ukraine or sent in its own servicemen there to fight alongside them. But people in this crowd don't believe that.
抗议者游行穿过莫斯科中部，高呼“不要战争，离开乌克兰！”很多人挥舞黄蓝间隔的乌克兰国旗和俄罗斯国旗以示团结，也有人签名请求乌克兰原谅他们。克里姆林宫一直否认支持乌克兰东部的亲俄叛军，或是派遣本国军人和亲俄叛军一起作战。但是抗议者不相信这一点。

One is broke initially12 that the extension was being considered. There was a lot of mumbling13 around with people saying we are running short of stock of food and all of that. And when once this went out again, people have thronged14 the streets in the eastern Freetown singing 'Jesus, Ebola is finished. Jesus, Ebola has ended.' Lots of people in the east of Freetown are on the streets as I speak to you now. Umaru Fofana reporting.
最初考虑延长禁闭，但后来决定不延长。人们一直嚷着称缺少食物等东西，一旦禁闭结束，人们涌上弗里敦的街头，叫道“天啊，埃博拉结束了！天啊，埃博拉结束了！”就在此刻，弗里敦东部很多人都在大街上。Umaru Fofana报道。

全球气候变化抗议活动在纽约达到高潮，成千上万人走上街头要求采取立即行动。游行者中有名人、科学家和世界领袖，其中就有联合国秘书长潘基文。记者Mack Migra报道。
They are all hoping here to send a message to the politicians; the heads of the government will come in to the work on Tuesday; to send a message that there is big popular support in the world for action, rapid action on climate change. And they think that by demonstrating on the streets there, by having perhaps the biggest climate march in history, it will be able to increase the pressure to drive towards a new global deal to be signed at the end of 2015 in Paris.
他们希望向政治家们传达消息，政府首脑周二将着手这件事，他们传达的信息是全世界人民都支持就气候变化采取立即行动。他们认为通过街头抗议活动，通过这次可能是历史上最大的气候游行，能够向2015年年底即将在巴黎签署的全球协定施加更多压力。

A NASA spacecraft is about to enter into orbit around Mars after a 10-month journey of over 700 million kilometers. The Maven explorer will circle the planet to study its atmosphere. Its main task is to find clues as to why Mars went from being wet and warm to cold and dry billions of years ago. Scientists believe the red planet initially had a thick atmosphere which has since thinned.
