Washington has questioned Turkey’s stated aim of establishing a safe zone for civilians just across the border in northern Syria in support for America and other nations. A US State Department Spokesman said there had been no agreement on establishing a safe zone in Syria.

为支持美国等国家，土耳其表示准备在沿叙利亚北部边境为平民建造一个安全区，华盛顿对此表示质疑。美国国务院发言人称尚未就建立叙利亚安全区达成协议。

“Our understanding is that Turkey’s granted the United States expanded access to Turkish facilities to enhance air operations against ISIL. We have been pretty clear from the podium and elsewhere saying there’s no zone, no safe heaven. What I’m talking about that here. What we’re talking about is a sustained effort to drive ISIL out of the region.”

“我们的理解是土耳其已经准许美国更多地使用土耳其的设施来加强对IS的空中行动，我们已从各方了解到没有安全区，我在这里要说的是继续努力将IS赶出该地区。”

Earlier, the Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said he hoped Turkey’s western allies would help create a safe heaven. He told the BBC that what he called moderate Syrian armed groups would protect it from attack from both President Assad’s forces or IS militants.

早些时候，土耳其总理达武特奥卢称他希望土耳其的西方盟友能帮助建造一个安全区，他告诉BBC，所谓的叙利亚温和派武装组织将保护该安全区免受阿萨德军队和IS武装分子的进攻。

After months of pressure, the Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton has agreed to hand over to the FBI the private email server she used while serving as US Secretary of State. The FBI is investigating whether classified information was improperly sent via the server. Her lawyer has also submitted memory sticks containing copies of the emails. Jon Sopel is in Washington.

在面临几个月的压力后，民主党总统竞选领先者希拉里·克林顿同意向联邦调查局交出她担任国务卿期间所使用的私人电子邮件的服务器。联邦调查正调查是否有分类信息通过该服务器发送出去，她的律师还上交了含有电子邮件副本的记忆棒。乔·索蓓尔在华盛顿报道。

“Following disclosures that 2 emails have been classified as top secret, it was announced last night that the server would be given to the Justice Department. What’s unclear is whether experts will be able to retrieve the 30,000 plus emails that Mrs. Clinton deleted. She said they were personal and not work related. To say this is proving a distraction from her presidential campaign would be an understatement. Whether acceding to Republican demands and surrendering the server would draw a line under this, has to be doubted.”

“在两个电子邮件被列为高级机密后，昨晚宣布将把服务器交给司法部。尚不清楚专家们是否能恢复克林顿删掉的3万多电子邮件，她说这些邮件属私人性质，与工作无关。若要说这件事说明她已从总统选举中分心则是轻描淡写了，同意共和党的要求并上交服务器是否会让她与之划清界限则就令人怀疑了。”

The human rights organization Amnesty International has voted to support the decriminalization of prostitution.
