The United Nations Refugee Agency says the number of people displaced by conflict has reached the highest level ever recorded. Releasing its annual reports on forced displacement, the UN says that by the end of last year more than 65 million people worldwide were refugees, asylum seekers or internally displaced. Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva. War and persecution caused a sharp rise in the number of people forced to flee their homes last year, bringing the global total UN figures show to over 65 million. Over a half of all refugees come from Syria, Afghanistan and Somalia. Meanwhile Germany received the most asylum requests. The UN says governments must show unity in the face of such a vast crisis not just for the sake of refugees but in the collective human interest. Voters in the Italian capital Rome have elected their first female mayor. Virginia Raggi of the anti-establishment Five Star Movement has effectively beaten her rival Roberto Giachetti in the run-off. Mr Giachetti belongs to the centre-left Democratic Party of the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi. The Democratic Party has also lost the mayoral battle in Turin, but its candidates have held on to power in Milan and Bologna. Campaigners have released photographs of personal effects washed up on the beach of Madagascar that could be from the missing Malaysian airliner MH370. Relatives of those on board are being encouraged to look at the images to see if the items belong to their family members. Here's Richard Westcott. The personal effects don't have names on, but some are quite distinct. There are several bags with recognisable designs - one is tartan; another has the computer game Angry Birds on. Some of the families put pictures online so that other families spread across the world can see if they recognise anything. It's still very possible that they are nothing to do with the aircraft, that they fell off a boat or were just randomly dumped into the sea. But they were found on the same beach in Madagascar, where suspected parts of the aircraft have also washed up. The British parliament has been recalled today to pay tribute to the Labour politician Jo Cox, who was killed last week in her constituency. This report from our political correspondent Eleanor Garnier. It will be a defiant display of unity. Politics will once again be put to one side. Colleagues and friends of Jo Cox will come to the Commons to remember an MP who many said was a rising star. There have been cools for MPs to break the tradition of sitting in political groupings with rival parties mixed up in a show of solidarity. It will be a significant moment not just because party divisions will be put aside, but because the recall of parliament is a rare event. World News from the BBC A suicide bomber in the Afghan capital Kabul has killed at least 14 security guards in an attack targeting their minibus. Eight other people were injured. The Interior Ministry said those killed were Nepalese nationals employed by a company that provides security to western embassies. Six people have been killed in southern Mexico in clashes between protesting teachers and security forces. At least 50 others including many police officers were injured. The violence broke out as officials in the state of Oaxaca tried to clear a highway blocked by left-wing activists who were protesting against the arrested two high-profile union leaders last week. Reports say most of the dead were young people. The American golfer Dustin Johnson has won the US Open chairmanships - his first major title. Johnson overturned the four-shot lead of Ireland's Shane Lowry to clinch victory at the Oakmont Club in Pennsylvania. Here's our golf correspondent Iain Carter. Johnson's long overdue first major was captured in brilliant style but was overshadowed by a rules controversy that led to him being penalised a shot after his ball moved a minimal distance on the fifth hole. The question surrounded whether he had caused it to move as he prepared to putt. A rules official cleared him at the time, but the USGA examined video footage and farcically this left no one knowing Johnson's actual score. Johnson's superb closing birdie then removed any doubt over the outcome, but golf's rule-makers attracted huge criticism from leading players. The Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has promised to introduce legislation for a plebiscite on same-sex marriage to be held before the end of the year if his coalition wins the general election next month. The opposition Labor Party have labeled the move a platform for homophobia, and they are instead promising to introduce a bill to legalise same-sex marriage. 据联合国难民署表示,全球因暴力冲突导致流离失所者人数创历史记录。据全球难民趋势年度报告指出,截止到2015年年底,全球难民人数,寻求庇护者或国内难民人数超6500万人。请听伊莫金·福克斯为您从日内瓦发回的报道。因战争和迫害,去年难民人数直线上升,全球超6500万人无家可归。超半数来自叙利亚、阿富汗以及索马里。与此同时,申请庇护请求最多的国家为德国。据联合国表示,面对这样一场危机,各国政府需同心协力,这不仅是为了难民,更是为了我们全人类共同的利益。 意大利罗马迎来首位女市长。在第二轮投票中,来自主要反对党“五星运动”党的拉吉击败了中左翼民主党对手罗伯托·贾凯蒂。贾凯蒂来自中左翼民主党,同时也是意大利总理马泰奥·伦齐所在党派。民主党同样在都灵市长选举中败北,但依然在米兰和博洛尼亚掌权。 据照片显示马达加斯加岛屿发现私人物品,疑似马航MH370乘客物品。并希望得到遇难者家属证实。请听理查德·韦斯科特的报道。物品虽没留下姓名,但还能清晰可见。许多箱包的样式还能辨认出来,一个是格子呢箱包;一个是“愤怒的小鸟”背包。家属将照片在网上公布,等待其他家属辨认。这些物品很有可能与MH370毫无关系,也许是从轮船中掉落,也或许是向大海扔掉的垃圾。但他们却在相同海域发现了这些物品,此前,疑似马航碎片就在这里找到。 英国议会重新召集,缅怀工党议员乔·考克斯,她于上周在选区遇刺身亡。请听本台政治专项记者埃莉诺·卡尼尔的报道。人们现在空前的团结。政治再一次成为了配角。考克斯的朋友和战友将前往下议院,缅怀他们心中的希望之星。为展现各党派团结一致,曾有议员打破传统与其它党派人士一起就坐。这将是具有重要意义的时刻,不仅是党派分歧得到暂时搁置,召集议会也实属罕见。BBC全球新闻。 阿富汗首都喀布尔发生自杀式袭击,造成至少14名军警丧生,袭击目标是一辆小型巴士。另有8人受伤。据内政部表示,遇难者均为尼泊尔人,他们的任务是为西部大使馆提供安全保卫。 在墨西哥南部,抗议教师与警察发生冲突,造成至少6人死亡。包括多名警察在内的至少50人受伤。冲突发生在瓦哈卡州,当时左翼激进分子封锁高速路,但就在警察极力疏通交通时发生了暴力冲突,原因是上周有两名全国教育工作联盟高层被捕,激进分子对此表示抗议。有报道称多数遇难者为年轻人。 美高尔夫球手达斯汀·约翰逊赢得美国公开赛冠军,职业生涯获得首个主要赛事冠军。此项赛事在宾夕法尼亚州奥克芒乡村俱乐部打响,约翰逊将手握四杆优势的爱尔兰选手肖恩·劳瑞斩落马下。请听本台高尔夫专项记者伊恩·卡特的报道。约翰逊的首个主要赛事冠军赢得漂亮,但因小球在第5洞出现移动,不料在第5洞被罚一杆,此次判罚也引起了不少争议。问题症结是约翰逊推杆时是否导致小球移动。当时裁判称没有问题,但USGA(美国高尔夫球协会)又重新看过了比赛录像,但让人哭笑不得的是,没人知道约翰逊的实际得分。最终他以小鸟球完美收官,并驱散了所有质疑,但高尔夫协会却遭到了多名球手的联名指责。 澳大利亚总理特恩布尔称,若执政联盟能够在下月大选中再度执政,他将承诺在今年年底前对同性婚姻合法化举行公投。反对党工党称此举将为“同性恋恐惧症”提供平台,他们承诺向国会提交同性婚姻合法化议案。 |
