英国新闻听力 G8严厉批评伊朗和朝鲜

The leaders of the world's eight most powerful nations have sharply criticized North Korea and Iran. They condemned¹ North Korea for the sinking of a South Korean warship² in March and called on the Iranian leadership to respect human rights and the rule of law. Andrew Walker reports.

In a strongly worded section in the summit communique, the G8 said they deplored³ the sinking of the South Korean vessel⁴ with the loss of 46 lives. They called on North Korea to refrain from committing any attacks or threatening hostilities⁵ against its neighbour. The G8 also expressed concern that nuclear and missile tests by the North have increased tension, and called on the country to abandon all nuclear weapons. In the Middle East, the communique described the Israeli blockade of Gaza as "unsustainable" and called for humanitarian⁶ and commercial goods to be allowed in and out of the territory.

The G8 leaders will be joined by their counterparts from emerging countries later on Saturday for a meeting of the G20 grouping.

Groups of anti-globalization protesters have clashed with police in Toronto near the venue⁷ of the G20 meeting. A police car was set ablaze⁸. A television reporter said the demonstrators were hurling⁹ objects at the police. It's thought the violence involves people who broke away from a peaceful march in the city.

President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai says neighbouring states must do more to stop illegal drugs, such as opium¹⁰ being smuggled¹¹ out of his country. Mr Karzai said Afghanistan on its own didn't have the resources to stop the drugs trade, and he said forces outside Afghanistan were fuelling the growth of opium poppies.

"I do not want the international community, especially Central Asian countries, to point the finger towards Afghanistan or blame Afghanistan at international conferences. We accept our faults and shortcomings, but the situation today in Afghanistan has been imposed on us by outsiders. Outsiders and an international mafia are encouraging poppy cultivation¹² in Afghanistan."

Britain is to impose a cap on immigration from outside the European Union from next month. It was a promise made by the Prime Minister David Cameron during the recent general election campaign. Some business leaders have warned that a rigid¹⁴ cap on migrants could lead to a shortage of skilled workers and damage the economy. Andy Tighe has this report.

During the election campaign, David Cameron said he wanted to reduce net annual migration¹³ from hundreds of thousands to tens of thousands. But there have been reports that a number of his Conservative colleagues in the cabinet have taken up the concerns of some business leaders that too rigid a cap would exclude some of the most talented foreigners who want to work here. Now the Home Secretary is to announce a temporary limit of 24,100 non-EU workers, a reduction of around 5% to stop a rush of applications before a permanent cap next April.

The Romanian tennis player Victor Hanescu has been fined 15,000 dollars for spitting at spectators at this year's Wimbledon tournament. Match officials said he had displayed unsportsmanlike behaviour. Hanescu appeared to lose his temper after a member of the crowd heckled him. Mike Lanchin has more.

Wimbledon's head referee¹⁵, Andrew Jarrett, said that Hanescu would be fined half of the prize money he was due for having reached the third round of the tournament. Police have also been looking into the incident after four men were arrested at the courtside under the Public Order Act. Scotland Yard said there were no reports of racist¹⁶ language being used. It was not thought that the men were the target of Hanescu's outburst. The Romanian, who is not due to play in any other part of the tournament, has 10 days to appeal against the fine.

Polls have closed in the presidential election of the self-proclaimed state of Somaliland in the horn of Africa. Three candidates, including the incumbent¹⁷ president, are vying¹⁸ to be the next leader. Somaliland closed its borders after an Islamist group al-Shabaab warned people against voting, describing democracy as "the devil's principles". The Somaliland government called on voters to ignore the threat, and international monitors say the turnout appears to have been high. Somaliland broke away from Somalia in 1991.

The first president of Lithuania after it gained independence from \ Soviet¹⁹ Union, Algirdas Brazauskas, has died following a battle with cancer.

The former president also served one term as Lithuania's prime minister before retiring from politics four years ago.

世界八个最强大的国家的领袖对伊朗和朝鲜进行了严厉批评。他们谴责朝鲜在三月份击沉韩国一艘军舰，要求伊朗领袖尊重人权和法律准则。Andrew Walker报道。

在峰会公报措辞严厉的章节，G8表示，他们对韩国军舰沉没，46人遇难深表遗憾。他们要求朝鲜不要对其邻国采取任何袭击和威胁行动。G8还担忧朝鲜的核试验和导弹试验使紧张形势升级，要求朝鲜放弃所有核武器。在中东问题方面，公报称以色列对加沙地带的封锁是“难以持续的”，要求人道主义和商业货物能够获准自由进出该区域。

周六晚些时候，G8领袖将与新兴大国领袖会合，举行G20峰会。

在多伦多G20峰会会场附近，反全球化组织抗议者与警方发生冲突。一辆警车被点燃。电视台一名记者称，示威者向警察砸东西。据信这次暴力活动包括逃脱该市和平游行的人。

阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊说，相邻各国应该采取更多措施制止非法药物，例如鸦片等走私出国。卡尔扎伊表示，阿富汗单靠自己没有资源来阻止毒品贸易。他说，阿富汗以外的力量促使鸦片需求的增长。“我不希望国际社会，尤其是中亚国家在国际会议上谴责阿富汗。我们承认自己的错误和缺点，但是今天阿富汗的形势是由外来者施加给我们的。外来者和国际黑手党激励着阿富汗的罂粟种植。”

从下月开始，英国将对来自欧盟国家的移民实施限制。这是首相卡梅伦在最近的大选竞选活动中所作的承诺。一些商业领袖警告称，对移民过于严厉的限制将导致技工的短缺，损害经济。Andy Tighe报道。

在竞选活动中，卡梅伦表示，他希望将每年的净移民总数从几十万减少到几万。但是有报道称，卡梅伦内阁一些保守派同事接受了一些商业领袖的担忧，过于严格的限制将会排除一些希望来英国工作的有才能的外国人。现在，内政大臣将宣布24,100名非欧盟工人的临时限制，降低了大约5%，防止大量的移民申请。而到明年四月份则会实施永久性的限制。

罗马尼亚网球选手Victor Hanescu在今年的温网比赛中因向观众吐口水而被罚款15,000美元。比赛官员表示，Victor Hanescu的行为是违反体育道德的。人群中一人起哄之后，Hanescu似乎发脾气了。Mike Lanchin报道更详细内容。

温网主裁判主裁判安德鲁·亚雷特(Andrew Jarrett)说，Hanescu进入第三轮比赛所获得的奖金将被罚掉一半。四名男子因违反公共秩序法案在球场边缘被捕，警方目前正在对该事件进行调查。伦敦警察局表示，目前还没有关于使用种族歧视语言的报道。这名男子并不是Hanescu发脾气的对象。这名罗马尼亚选手将不再参与接下来的任何比赛。他有十天的时间对罚款提起上诉。

非洲之角自称索马里兰国的总统选举投票结束。包括现任总统在内的三名候选人竞争下任领导职位。伊斯兰组织青年党警告人们不要投票，称民主是“魔鬼的准则”之后，索马里兰关闭了边境。索马里兰政府呼吁投票者忽略威胁。国际监督员称投票率似乎很高。1991年，索马里兰从索马里分裂出来。
