The leaders of Russia and Ukraine say?they are satisfied that the ceasefire agreed in eastern Ukraine is generally holding. President Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Petro Poroshenko discussed the truce by phone a day after the deal was reached. Both stressed the importance of international monitoring. Richard Galpin is in Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.

俄罗斯和乌克兰总统都表示对乌克兰东部的停火协议表示满意。普京总统和乌克兰总理波罗申科在协议签订的后一天通过电话讨论了协议的签订一事。双方都强调了国际监察的重要性。Richard Galpin在乌克兰东部顿涅茨克发回报道。

It does seem to be much more calmer compared to how it was before the ceasefire came into effect. We went up to the airport, which was the scene of the most serious fighting over recent weeks, we did hear a couple of explosions and a few gunshots. But I think that was the exception rather than the rule, and certainly local people were saying to us that basically had been quiet there as well. So overall certainly in Donetsk city it seems much much better as a result of the ceasefire.

与停火协议生效事前相比确实是安静了很多，我们去了机场，那里曾经是最近几周冲突最严重的地方，我们确实听到了几声爆炸声和几枪枪声。但是我认为那是协议之外的事情，显然当地居民也告诉我们这里基本上已经恢复了平静。所以总体看来顿涅茨克城市因为停火协议的签订比之前好了很多。

Kurdish forces have recaptured a strategically important mountain in northern Iraq from Islamic State militants with the help of American air strikes. Mount Zartak overlooks a plain to the east of Mosul, helping whoever holds it to control the land below. Our correspondent Jim Muir has been to the mountain.

库尔德部队在美国空袭的帮助下从伊斯兰手中夺回来伊拉克北部的重要山区。在Zartak 山上可以俯瞰摩苏尔城市东部平原地区，可以帮助任何占领它的人控制下面的土地。本台记者吉姆缪尔从山上发回报道。

On the windy height of Mount Zartak, Kurdish Peshmerga fighters were picking out the villages lying on the hazy, gusty plain hundreds of feet below. The Kurds, backed by American air strikes that they say made a big difference, recaptured the mountain and large stretches of rugged terrain in a short, sharp battle, which left more than 30 IS fighters dead. We saw some of their bodies still sprawled among the rocks where they fell. But retaking Mosul has a much more daunting enterprise. It's a huge mainly Sunni city. The Kurds have no intention of trying to do it alone.

在大风肆虐的Zartak 山上，库尔德武装人员正在辨识几百英尺下面的朦胧模糊的平原村庄。库尔德部队在美国空袭的掩护下取得了很大进展，重新占据了山地和和很多地形崎岖支离破碎的地段，并造成了30多名伊斯兰士兵死亡。我们看到他们的尸体依然横放在倒下的地方。但是话说回来占领摩苏尔城市是非常艰巨的任务，这里主要是逊尼派占据的城市。库尔德部队没有单独行动的打算。

The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) has expressed concern over a three-day national lockdown announced by Sierra Leone to try to halt the spread of Ebola.

The thinking is if people are restricted to stay wherever they are, then they won't be able to identify cases at the initial stage, in which case they can treat them or largely possible that they can treat them and they can get well again. And two, so they show that the virus doesn't get to new areas, which happens only when people move from place to place. The most important challenge will be the fact that it's going to be nationwide. And there are lots of remote villages; there are lots of remote towns, and the government is not really sure how to be able to police these and those areas.?

这种想法认为如果人们被限制起来不允许出行，那么他们在一开始就不能感染病毒，他们就可以救治或者尽最大可能治愈他们。第二点认为病毒并没有在其他地区得到传播，只是通过人员流动传播的。最大的挑战可能是病毒扩散到全国范围。这里有许多偏远山区，有许多偏远城镇，政府并不确定有足够警力来应对。
