Ukraine's new president Petro Poroshenko has called for dialogue with pro-Russian separatists in the east of the country. He was speaking after his swearing-in ceremony in Kiev. But Mr. Poroshenko said Ukraine would never give up Crimea which Russia annexed in March, and would continue to seek closer ties with Europe. David Stern reports from Kiev.

乌克兰新总统佩特罗·波罗申科呼吁与在该国东部的亲俄分裂分子进行对话，他在基辅宣誓就职仪式举行后发表讲话，但波罗申科说乌克兰永远不会放弃三月份被俄罗斯吞并的克里米亚，并将继续与欧洲加强密切关系。戴维·斯特恩在基辅报道。

Mr. Poroshenko's speech was a combination of tough words mixed with more conciliatory statements. To the pro-Russian separatists, he offered an amnesty, if they lay down their weapons, and in his words, "if they didn't have blood on their hands." However, to the people of eastern Ukraine, he promised greater autonomy and the free use of the Russian language. Separatist leaders in Ukraine's east, who've established their own self-declared republic, rejected the new Ukrainian president's offer. But Russia's ambassador to Ukraine who attended the ceremony called Mr. Poroshenko's peace plan promising.

波罗申科的讲话中既有严厉的言辞，也有安抚性的声明。对亲俄分裂分子，他提出如果他们放下武器，就会实施大赦，用他的话来说，“如果他们手上没有血”。然而，对乌克兰东部的人，他承诺实施更大的自治权，以及使用俄罗斯语的自由。在乌克兰东部建立自封共和国的分裂领袖对新总统的提议不屑一顾，但参加就职仪式的俄罗斯驻乌克兰大使称波罗申科的和平计划是有希望的。

The Nigerian army has raided distributions centres for some of the country's main newspapers. The Daily Trust which serves mostly northern Nigeria said the army detained its drivers and delivery vans on Friday and Saturday at many parts of the country. Mannir Dan-Ali is the editor.

尼日利亚部队突袭了该国一些主要报刊的分销中心，主要服务于尼日利亚北部的每日信报称，周五和周六在该国多个地方，军方逮捕了其司机和运货车。编辑Mannir Dan-Ali报道。

All the distribution vehicles that were impounded, they were checked, nothing was found of them yet. They are not allowed to proceed to their destinations, and the newspapers did not reach the readers. The fact is that in spite of their protestations, that actually they are not trying to prevent journalists from doing their work, they are not trying to stifle the media. Yet that is the message that people seem to be getting from these signals.

所有的运货车都被扣留、检查，但什么都没找到。还不允许它们前往目的地，所以这些报纸没有送到读者手中。事实上，尽管这些报纸表示抗议，但军方并不是企图阻止记者进行报道，也不是为了钳制媒体，但这些报纸从这些行动信号中却似乎得到这样的信息。

Other newspapers gave similar accounts. Nigeria's defence spokesman said the soldiers' actions were part of a routine security operation. He denied reports that copies of newspapers were confiscated.

其他的报纸也描述了类似的情况，尼日利亚国防部发言人称士兵的行动是常规安全检查的一部分，他否认有报纸被没收。

美国第一夫人向上周去世的黑人作家兼民权活动家马娅·安杰卢致敬，米歇尔·奥巴马说，安杰卢女士的话语一直激励和支撑她从芝加哥南部来到白宫。

She taught us that we are each wonderfully made, intricately woven and put on this Earth for a purpose far greater than we could ever imagine. And when I think about Maya Angelou, I think about the affirming power of her words. The first time I read Phenomenon Women, I was struck by how she celebrated Black women's beauty like no one had ever dared to before.

她告诉我们，我们每个人都是上帝精心制造出来的，然后为了我们所能想象的更大的目的而降生到世上。每次想起马娅·安杰卢，我都会想起她有力的话语。当我首次读到《现象妇女》时，读到她赞美黑人女性的旷世之美时，我就被打动了。
