A Colombia General kidnapped by the Farc rebel group earlier this month has been released. Gen Ruben Dario Alzate and two companions have been taken to a military base near the city of Medellin. They are due to be reunited with their families. The General’s capture prompted the Colombia government to suspend long-running peace talks with the Farc in Cuba. A Farc representative in Havana Evan Marquis said a peace agreement was vital for Colombia.
被哥伦比亚革命武装部队叛军绑架的哥伦比亚将军于本月早些时候被释放。Gen Ruben Dario Alzate和两名同伴被带到麦德林市附近的军事基地。他们将被释放与家人团聚。此次将军被捕事件经过哥伦比亚政府与武装叛军在古巴长时间和平谈判才达成释放协议。哥伦比亚武装力量发言人在哈瓦那发表讲话称和平协议的达成对哥伦比亚来讲是至关重要的转折。
We ask President Santos to use his common sense and agree that we cannot continue with the absurdity of prolonging these peace talks in the middle of a war. It’s time for a cease fire on both sides so the fighting can no longer interrupt such a beautiful and historical process like that of peace, a process which our nation longs for.
我们要求总统桑托斯动脑子好好想想认同双方不可能在战争中继续和平谈判。是时候停止交火冲突了，不能让冲突毁掉我们国家一直想追求的美好的和平进程。
Pope Francis has urged Muslim leaders worldwide to speak out clearly and condemn terrorism carried out in the name of Islam. Returning from a trip to Turkey where he met the spiritual leader of the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Pope exactly understood how Muslims were offended by a stereotype decreed Islam with terrorism.
教皇弗朗西斯督促穆斯林世界各地领导人站出来谴责伊斯兰恐怖组织以伊斯兰名义发动的恐怖袭击。在拜访完土耳其东正教领袖返回的途中，教皇清楚明白穆斯林形象已经受伊斯兰恐怖主义影响印上刻板印象。
An investigation into corruption in the Iraqi army has revealed there were 50000 fictitious names on its pay roll. The scale of the problem came to light an inquiry headed by the Prime Minister Haidar al-Abadi, who says the access payment has been halted. Allen Johnston reports.
对伊拉克军队腐败调查显示其工资名单上存在50000个“幽灵士兵”。这一发现对总理阿巴迪工作提出了质疑，但阿巴迪表示工资支付已经停止。下面是本台记者发回的报道。
The 50000 extra pay roll names belong to what is known in the Iraqi army as ghost soldiers. They didn’t exist. They no longer reported for duty, but their salaries were paid and presumably siphoned off by corrupt officers. The Americans spent billions trying to build up the Iraqi army. It is collapsed when Islamic state militants launched their northern offensive last summer. And one of the reasons for that weakness was the chronic corruption in the army’s ranks.
这50000个额外支付工资名称就是伊拉克军队被称之为“幽灵士兵”的名单。这些人并不存在，也不再在军队服役，但是工资却依旧被贪官照常支付。美国人曾花费数十亿美元帮助伊拉克建立军队，自去年夏天伊斯兰武装分子对其北部发动进攻之后全盘崩溃。而最主要原因就是军队腐败。

拯救儿童慈善机构已经处理对塞拉利昂埃博拉救治中心四分之三地方为空房的投诉。该机构表示在弗里敦嘉黎镇救治中心的工作人员的人身安全更重要。下面是本台记者从救治中心发回的报道。
A rare sound in the Kerry Town Ebola facility, songs and celebrations of a 21-year-old student is discharged, cured of the virus. 80 beds here are the centerpiece of British response to the Ebola outbreak. But nearly four weeks after it opened, only fourteen beds are currently occupied. Save the children insists it always intended a slow start, training staff takes time, but the organization says that all 80 beds will soon be filled.
在嘉黎镇响起了罕见的歌声和庆贺声，庆祝21岁的学生成功治愈埃博拉病毒。疾控中心有80个床位是英国为应对埃博拉爆发准备的。但是最近四周只有十四张床位被准备了出来。拯救儿童机构坚持称开始工作时缓慢的，需要对护士进行培训，但是该组织机构表示80张床位很快将会进行填补。
