Islamic State militants have released a video which appears to show a young boy executing an Israeli Arab prisoner. In the footage, the man (who) identifies himself as 19-year-old Muhammad Said Ismail Musallam. Kevin Connolly reports from Jerusalem.

IS武装分子公布一段视频显示一名男孩在处决一名以色列阿拉伯囚犯,在视频中,这名男孩自称是19岁的默罕默德·赛义德·伊斯梅尔·穆萨拉姆。凯文·康诺利在耶路撒冷报道。

“Muhammad Musallam left his home in East Jerusalem for Turkey last year, apparently intend to join the so-called Islamic State in Syria. A few months later, a magazine linked to ISIS carried a long interview in his name, which contained what purported to be a confession that he'd been sent by Israel to infiltrate the extremist organization. A grim 13-minute-long video has now been released, showing a young man who appears to be Muhammad Musallam, kneeling in an orange jump suit, facing the camera in an empty field. Behind him stand two figures in camouflage fatigues, one of whom appears to be a child, chosen to have to deepen the shock value of what follows. The child seems to shoot the kneeling figure in the head and then to fire further shots into the body.”

“去年穆罕默德·穆萨拉姆从东耶路撒冷离家前往土耳其,显然想加入叙利亚所谓IS组织。几个月后,与ISIS有关联的杂志刊登了以他名义的长篇采访,他承认自己被以色列派去渗入到该极端组织。现在公布了一段13分钟的视频,显示一名显然是穆罕默德·穆萨拉姆的年轻人,他穿着橙色连身衣跪在地上,面对着一片空地上的相机。他身后站着穿迷彩服的两个人,其中一人显然是个孩子,故意让孩子来是为了加深后来所发生事情的震撼力度。这个孩子似乎对跪在地上的人开枪,然后对着尸体再次开枪。”

The former US Secretary of State and likely presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton, has admitted that she should have used the government email address to conduct official business during her time in office. Mrs. Clinton has come under fire from Republican members of Congress for using her personal email account instead. Mrs. Clinton told in news conference she'd used her own phone and email account for the sake of convenience. Kim Ghattas reports from New York.

美国前国务卿和可能成为总统候选人的希拉里·克林顿承认自己原本应该在办公时间使用政府邮件地址来处理公务。克林顿因使用私人电子邮件账户而受到国会共和党的再次攻击,在新闻发布会上她承认曾图方便使用过自己的手机和电子邮件。金·加塔斯在纽约报道。

“Hillary Clinton admitted that in hindsight she had made a mistake opting to use just one email account, her private email address. But she was adamant. She had not broken any rules or laws, had not shared any classified information by email, and insisted she was now opening up her email correspondence to an unprecedented level of scrutiny. Her critics, especially Republicans, are unlikely to be satisfied with her explanation. But so far, this has not affected the approval ratings of a woman who could still run for president of the United States.”

“希拉里·克林顿事后才承认自己犯了错误,选择只使用一个电子邮件账户,也就是她私人的邮件地址。但她很坚定,她并没有违反什么规定或法律,没有用电子邮件分享任何机密文件,并表示将公开自己的邮件通讯,以供人们进行前所未有的审查。她的批评者,尤其是共和党人,不大可能对此解释感到满意。但到目前为止,这件事仍未影响到这名仍希望竞选美国总统的女人的支持率。”

A coalition of legal advocacy and human rights groups in the United States, including the founder of the on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia have brought a federal lawsuit against mass surveillance operations carried out by the country's intelligence services. Gary O'Donoghue reports from Washington.

美国一个法律宣传和人权组织联盟,包括在线维基百科成立者在内对美国情报部门进行的大规模监控行动发起联邦诉讼。格林·奥·多诺休在华盛顿报道。

“The lawsuit alleges that the National Security Agency violated Americans' constitutional right to freedom of speech by sweeping up all text-based communications in an attempt to track terrorist communications. The founder of Wikipedia Jimmy Wales said such surveillance eroded the original promise of Internet, which she described as an open space for collaboration, and experimentation, and a place free from fear. The NSA is faced a platter of legal cases even since its former contractor Edward Snowden leaked thousands of documents detailing the Agency's activities. A spokesman for the Justice Department said only that it was reviewing the case.”

“这起诉讼称国安局违反了美国人为了追踪恐怖分子通讯信息,扫荡了所有基于文本的通讯,这就违反了美国人言论自由的宪法权利。维基百科的成立者吉米·威尔斯称这样的监控活动侵蚀了互联网最初始的承诺,她称这种承诺就是合作、试验的开放空间,以及免于恐惧的地方。自从前承包商爱德华·斯诺登曝光国安局活动的数千份文件后,国安局面临接连不断的法律案件。司法部发言人称正在审查此案。”
