North Korea has also been testing missile's launch from submarines. 以更轻的重量释放更强的爆炸力,这样使得任何炸弹都更容易安置在导弹上。朝鲜一直在测试从潜艇发射导弹, The ability to launch missiles from submarines will change the whole calculation of military response, 而从潜艇发射导弹将彻底改变军事应对能力, because warning times of an attack on, for example, the west coast of the United States would be much shorter." 比如,对美国西岸进行袭击时的警告时间将会缩短。” Pyongyang's nuclear test has drawn widespread condemnation.

So we have a big problem, regardless of how big the explosion was today." 他们显然意在将氢弹变得更小,然后可以安置在导弹上,这样我们就糟糕了,不管今天的爆炸程度如何。” Leading Republicans in the United States have denounced President Obama's move to tighten gun controls. 美国一些著名的共和党人指责奥巴马总统准备加紧枪控的举措, A speaker of the House Representatives Paul Ryan said the executive orders will certain to be challenged in court. 众议院议长保罗·瑞恩称这些行政令在法院肯定会遭到反对的。 The Republican Lieutenant governor of Texas Dan Patrick said the changes didn't amount to much. 德克萨斯州现任副州长、共和党人丹·帕特里克说这些改变的意义不是很大。 "It's political posturing which will have no impact on reducing crime,and it will probably not stand up to a challenge in the courts. “这只是政治姿态,对减少犯罪没有多大影响,可能根本应付不了法庭上的反驳, And lastly I believe Ted Cruz or any other Republican becomes president will repeal these orders." 最后我相信泰德·克鲁斯或任何成为总统的共和党人都会废除这些命令。” The Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump said he would reverse the measures if elected. 共和党最有希望的总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普称一旦当选他将取消这些措施。 The Supreme Court in Bangladesh has upheld a death sentence imposed on the leader of the country's biggest Islamist party. 孟加拉国最高法院维持了对该国最大伊斯兰党领袖的死刑判决, Motiur Rahman Nizami was convicted of crimes against humanity committed during the country's independence war 45 years ago. 马蒂乌尔·拉赫曼·尼扎米被判在45年前该国独立战争期间犯下反人道罪, His Jamaat Islamic party called a national strike when the death sentence was initially imposed last year.World news from the BBC. 去年刚宣判他死刑时,他的伊斯兰党号召进行全国罢工。BBC世界新闻。 US officials say the Secretary of State John Kerry has repeatedly telephoned leaders in Saudi Arabia and Iran to urge calm since a diplomatic row erupted between the regional rivals. 美国官方称自从沙特和伊朗这两个地区宿敌发生外交冲突以来,国务卿约翰·克里多次致电沙特和伊朗领导人,敦促双方保持平静。 Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran on Sunday after protesters stormed the Saudi Embassy in Tehran in response to the execution by the Saudis of a prominent Shiite Muslim cleric. 由于沙特处决了著名的什叶派穆斯林传教士,抗议者就冲击了沙特驻德黑兰使馆,于是周日沙特就切断了与伊朗的外交关系。 Police in Spain have seized more than three tons of cocaine and arrested eleven suspected drug smugglers. 西班牙警方查获3吨多可卡因并逮捕11名嫌疑毒品贩, Officers found the drugs during a raid on a warehouse in the northwestern region of Galicia following a tipoff from their British counterparts. 在得到英国警方的情报后,西班牙警方对加利西亚东北部地区一个仓库进行突袭,然后发现了这些毒品。 They also seized more than a million dollars in cash.
