中英双语新闻 美国提交安理会制裁朝鲜决议草案

Hello, I'm Sue Montgomery with the BBC News.

The United States, supported by China, has introduced a draft resolution to the United Nations Security Council, designed to impose tougher sanctions on North Korea, following its latest nuclear test and missile launch. The measures include inspections¹ of cargo² going in or out of North Korea, and a total ban on arms sales. America's Ambassador to the U.N. is Samantha Power.

These measures again, in addition to overtime³ changing the calculus⁴ of people in the regime, are going themselves to impede⁵ the ability of the North Korean regime to get access to funds, to get access to technology, to get access to nuclear know-how⁶.

President Obama has said the planned cessation of hostilities⁷ in Syria is critical, warning all parties to the conflict that the world would be watching whether they kept their commitments. The truce⁸, due to come at midnight local time on Friday, was, said Mr. Obama, a potential step in bringing an end to the chaos⁹.

All parties that are part of this cessation of activities need to end attacks, including aerial bombardment. Humanitarian¹⁰ aid must be allowed to reach areas under siege. And a lot of that is going to depend on whether the Syrian regime, Russia and their allies live up to their commitments. The coming days will be critical and the world will be watching.

President Obama said an end to the fighting in Syria was key to defeating the Islamic State group. He said IS had been hit hard by coalition¹¹ airstrikes and a ground offensive by Iraqi forces and Kurdish groups, and had not mounted a single major offensive operation for months. The President claimed its oil revenues had been reduced, and the flow of foreign recruits was slowing down.

The technology company, Apple, has asked a federal court in the United States to dismiss a ruling to help the FBI unlock the iPhone of an Islamist gunman. Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife killed 14 people in San Bernadino last year. And the FBI believes valuable information might be in his phone. Apple said the move violated its constitutional rights.

A court in Egypt has finally revoked¹² the licence of a doctor found guilty last year of the manslaughter of a girl, who died after female genital mutilation. Raslan Fadl was the first doctor in Egypt to be convicted for performing FGM. Here is Sebastian Arthur.

When the verdict was announced a year ago, the 2-year jail sentence for Dr. Fadl was hailed as a monumental victory by campaigners. They hoped it would set a precedent¹³ that could help stop doctors and backstreet practitioners¹⁴ from flouting¹⁵ the law against FGM. But the sentence does not appear to have been enforced. Activists¹⁷ found that Mr. Fadl had not been jailed, and was still practicing as a doctor and performing FGM. They say this showed the culture of impunity¹⁸ that still surrounds FGM in Egypt.

A senior European Union official says the E.U. has 10 days to reduce the number of migrants or risked the collapse¹⁹ of its border system. European leaders are due to hold talks with Turkey to discuss the migrant crisis on March 7. The E.U. Migration²⁰ Commissioner²¹ told Interior Ministers meeting in Brussels it was time for coordinated²² action, not unilateral border restrictions²³.

The U.S. Vice²⁴ President, Joe Biden, has described comments about Mexico, made by the Republican presidential hopeful, Donald Trump²⁵, as disturbing. Mr. Biden was speaking during a visit to Mexico, and said Mr. Trump's rhetoric²⁶ was dangerous and damaging. Mr. Trump has angered Mexico by declaring that the country was sending rapists across the border.

A former Colombian paramilitary has been sentenced to more than 11 years in jail for the kidnap, rape²⁷ and torture of an award-winning female journalist 16 years ago. The journalist, Jineth Bedoya, had been investigating the involvement of state officials and paramilitaries in arms trafficking, when she was kidnapped outside a prison in May 2000. Ms. Bedoya has fought for years for justice.

The American theme park, Sea World, has admitted that some of its employees have posed as animal rights activists to spy in critics. Last year, a worker at San Diego Sea World was briefly²⁸ suspended, after he was accused of trying to incite²⁹ violence, while posing as an activist¹⁶. Peter Booth reports.

In a statement, Sea World acknowledged that it'd sent its own workers to infiltrate³⁰ an animal rights group that stage demonstrations³¹ against the theme park. While promising³² to end the practice, the company said its own people undercover to maintain the safety and security of employees, customers and animals in the face of credible³³ threats. Sea World has faced intense criticism by animal rights activists, who say it is enslaving marine³⁴ animals at its 11 parks across the United States.

埃及法院最终撤掉掉一名因做女性割礼手术而导致女孩死亡的医生的执照，拉斯蓝·法德尔是埃及第一位因做女性割礼而获罪的医生。塞巴斯蒂安·亚瑟报道。

一年前法院宣布判决，法德尔医生被判两年监禁，这被活动人士们称赞为重大胜利，他们希望这能开创一个先例，让医生和黑诊所执业者不再触犯有关女性割礼的法律。但该判决似乎未能实施，活动人士发现法德尔医生没有被监禁，仍在执业行医并做女性割礼手术，他们称这表明在埃及，有关女性割礼的罪行不受惩罚的文化仍然存在。
