Egypt’s army chief and defence minister, Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, has announced that he’s resigned from the military so that he can run in the presidential elections expected next month.

In a televised address to the nation, the army chief announced his farewell to arms. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi said he was giving up his uniform after 44 years to take on a new and difficult mission. One problem he won’t have is winning. Sisi enjoys huge support and so far has no serious rivals. Supporters see him as a strong leader who can bring stability after years of turmoil. To critics he’s a military hardliner, who has presided over a brutal crackdown on dissent.

President Obama has used a speech in Brussels to champion the right of Ukrainians to decide their own future in further warning to Russia over its annexation of Crimea. He said the United States and Europe had no interest in controlling Ukraine, which is not in Nato, and would not react militarily to Russia’s actions. But with time, Mr Obama said, Russians would realise they cannot achieve security and prosperity through brute force.

奥巴马总统在布鲁塞尔发表讲话，支持乌克兰决定自身命运的权利，对俄罗斯吞并克里米亚地区表示进一步的警告。他说美国和欧洲无意控制乌克兰，而且乌克兰也不属于北约成员，因为不会对俄罗斯的行动采取军事应对。但奥巴马说，俄罗斯总有一天会意识到他们不能通过野蛮武力实现安定和繁荣的。

“We believe the world has benefited when Russia chooses to cooperate on the basis of mutual interests and mutual respect. So America and the world and Europe has an interest in a strong and responsible Russia, not a weak one. We want the Russian people to live in security, prosperity and dignity like everyone else, proud of their own history. But that does not mean that Russia can run roughshod over its neighbours.”

“我们认为，只有俄罗斯选择在互利和相互尊重的基础上进行合作，全世界才能从中受益。所以美国、全世界和欧洲都希望看到强大而负责的俄罗斯，而不是虚弱的俄罗斯。我们希望俄罗斯人民生活在安定、繁荣和尊严中，像其他国家的人们那样，为自己的历史感到骄傲。但这并不意味着俄罗斯可以欺负邻国。”

Captain Jerry Roberts, the last of the British codebreakers to help decipher communications between Adolf Hitler and his top generals during the Second World War, has died at the age of 93. Gordon Corera reports.

参与解密阿道夫·希特勒及其最高将领之间通讯内容的英国最后一位电码译员杰里·罗伯茨上校现已去世，享年93岁。Gordon Corera报道。

Jerry Roberts joined Bletchley Park as a German linguist and was assigned to a team called the Testery named after its head Ralph Tester. Their target was not the well-known Enigma system which carried military communications, but something even more challenging—a system known as Tunny, which carried the messages of Hitler’s top generals and even the Fuehrer himself. When decades later General Roberts could finally talk about his work, he took great delight in recalling how he’d personally been able to read Hitler’s own messages—in some cases before the intended recipient.

杰里·罗伯茨作为德国语言学家身份加入布莱切利园，然后被分到以其负责人Ralph Tester命名的Testery小组。他们的目标是传递军事通讯的谜代码系统，但更困难的是一种名为Tunny的系统，该系统负责传递希特勒最高将领甚至元首本人的通讯。几十年后罗伯茨终于能透露他的工作情况了，他很高兴地回忆着他是如何能想办法读到希特勒本人的信息的，有时比目标接受者更早地接受到。
