英国新闻听力 法国查看疑似MH370航班碎片(在线收听

Investigators in France have begun examining a two meter section of a plane wing to see if it came from a missing Malaysian airliner. The wreckage, which washed ashore on the Indian Ocean Island of Reunion last week, is now at a defense facility in the French city of Toulouse. An official said experts might not be able to determine immediately whether the debris came from flight MH370. Chris Buckler is in Toulouse.

“The French side of this investigation into the disappearance of MH370 is now very much underway. A French judge is here with senior officials from the aerospace industry, also some from Boeing, Malaysian officials and Chinese officials because a lot of Chinese citizens died on that aircraft too. Their key mission right now is to work out whether that part of the plane they found really is from MH370.”

The United Nations says an increasing number of women and children have been hurt or killed in Afghanistan since NATO's combat mission ended in December. The UN urged the Taliban to stop targeting civilians. From Geneva, Imogen Foulkes reports.

“The UN figures show that 1,592 civilians were killed in Afghanistan in the first 6 months of this year at a 1% increase in civilian casualties over the same period last year. But more disturbing still the UN believes is the dramatic increase of 23% in casualties among women, and 13% among children. The deaths and injuries are primarily due to ground fighting improvised explosive devices and suicide attacks.”

One of the most senior officials in world athletics Sebastian Coe says allegations of widespread doping are a declaration of war on the sports. Reports said European media Last Sunday suggested 1/3 of athletes who won medals in major endurance event between 2001 and 2012 registered abnormal blood tests. Richard Colven reports.

“After reports of widespread doping and questions over the validity of 146 Olympic and World Championship medals, athletics is fighting back. Lord Coe believes it a seminal moment for the sport. Speaking after the governing body issued a strongly worded rebuttal of the claims, he says there is nothing in our history of competence and integrity in drug testing, a warrant of this kind of attack. He also believes that information has been selectively used in an attempt to destroy the reputation of athletes, and the sport he wants to lead.”

Israeli archeologists are examining a rare ancient message discovered at a dig in Jerusalem. It is made up of words in Hebrew writing and signs. Alan Johnston reports.

“This find was made when a room was unearthed that is believed to date back about 2000 years. It contained a Jewish ritual bath. Along its walls were letters in Hebrew script, and series of symbols either smeared on with muds or cut into the plaster. Among the signs was an image of a boat, and palm trees. The archeologists say the markings maybe no more than ancient graffiti, but it's also possible that they might have some deep religion significance.
