Kurdish sources have told BBC that the Peshmerga fighters have broadly taken control of a strategic dam in the north of Iraq from Islamic militants. Their ground offensives have been coordinated with the US forces who'd provided air cover. Jim Muir is in the Kurdish regional capital Erbil (also written Arbil). 

库尔德方面传来消息称自由斗士已经广泛控制了伊拉克北部城市被伊斯兰武装分子占领的战略大坝。他们的地面武装力量是与美国军队提供空中掩护来合作的。下面是Jim Muir在库尔德首府埃尔比勒发回的报道。

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't 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 radical 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.

基本上来讲，他们似乎已经占领的大坝周围大部分地区，也有一些报道称其已经占领大坝一部分。这确实是让人困惑的问题。我认为我们不能说他们没有完全占领，毫无疑问，或者最终占领这类字眼。一位指挥官说他们仍然有很多清理的工作要做，伊斯兰武装分子留下了大量炮弹，事实上，其实今天早上工作就已经开始了。就在黎明时分，自由斗士已经在地面上检查出许多路边炸弹，甚至自杀式炸弹。

Syrian activists say government warplanes have launched nearly 25 airstrikes against bases of the militant group Islamic State in the north of the country.

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.

设在利比亚首都蒙罗维亚的埃博拉病毒检测中心遭遇袭击式抢劫。关于检测中心发生的事件报道各方争执不下，下面是来自我们非洲通讯员Will Ross的报道。

A group of men broke into the quarantine centre in the densely populated West Point area of the capital Monrovia. They looted the mattresses 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.

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.

没有人可以确保会议取得成功，但是我认为至少此次会议是作为一种责任的体现，尤其是在局势紧张的今天，还有过去几天。
