Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk said Kiev would not consider any peace plan that cast doubt on the nation's territorial integrity.

西方领导人们开始新的外交努力，希望来结束乌克兰东部政府军和亲俄叛军之前的激烈战斗。目前在首都基辅的美国国务卿约翰·克里警告说，莫斯科必须将其武器和武装人员从乌克兰撤出，并允许乌克兰控制其边界。乌克兰总理阿尔谢尼·亚采纽克说，基辅不会考虑任何不能确保本国领土完整的和平计划。

Details are unclear yet, as to how they might be repackaging previous abortive peace proposals. But the speculation is that they want to head off the prospect of the US supplying Ukraine with lethal weapons, where it did any such move could widen the present conflict.

德国和法国领导人加入到所谓目前为止最大的和平努力中来，这是由过去几周激烈且致命的冲突所推动，这些冲突令9月份的停火协议摇摇欲坠。目前尚不知道细节，比如如何重新整理之前失败的和平提议，但人们猜测他们想阻止美国向乌克兰提供致命武器，因为这类举动能将目前的冲突扩大化。

A huge corruption scandal over Brazil's state run oil giant Petrobrass has widened.

Wyre Davies in Rio says the allegations involve millions of dollars in price fixing and kickbacks.

This investigation is going and now it's undergone many phases. And every time something more is uncovered, it seems to get closer and closer to the door of the President herself Dilma Rousseff. Remember she was chair of Petrobrass' board during that period 2003 to about 2009, when she appointed several senior figures, including the president of Petrobrass Gracas Foster. She had to resign yesterday, so did other five members of the board. We've heard some evidence today, some allegations that the Workers' Party benefited to the tune of 200 million dollars in bribes from Petrobrass. So it's a huge scandal in Brazil.

调查仍在进行中，目前经历了几个阶段。每次调查出新的案情，都会似乎越来越接近总统达尔玛·罗塞夫的门口。2003到2009年间她曾是巴西石油公司董事会主席，当时她任命了几位高管，包括巴西石油的总裁福斯特，她只得昨天辞职，董事会的其他5位成员也辞职了。我们今天听说一些证据，有指控称工人党从巴西石油得到两亿美元的行贿，因此这在巴西是件重大丑闻。
