大卫·奥斯丁为你播报BBC新闻。

美国密歇根州任命一位公司破产专家担任陷入经济困境的底特律市的应急管理人,这是几年来美国大城市的最大规模国家收购案例。约翰尼·戴蒙德报道。

Michigan's state governor Rick Snyder announced that his candidate virtually certain to be accepted for emergency financial manager was Kevyn Orr, a lawyer with a background in restructuring, the governor did not means his words. This is a crisis, he said, Detroit is broke and bleeding, its population has fallen from a high of two million to around 700,000, its services are overstretched, its financial future deeply uncertain. This may not be the city's nadir, bankruptcy still looms if Mr. Orr can't get a grip on Detroit's finances.

密歇根州州长里克·斯奈德宣布凯文·奥尔担任应急财务经理,称这位候选人肯定会接受这一任命,奥尔是一名律师,拥有重组方面的经验。州长对此没有作出解释,他说,这是一场危机,底特律一文不名,遭受重创,其人口从200万减少到70万,其服务已不堪重负,财政前景严重不明朗。底特律或许还没有进入最低点,但如果奥尔不能管理好底特律的财政,那就有破产的危险。

Pope Francis has celebrated mass in a Sistine Chapel for the first time since assuming office. Speaking without notes, the Pope said little in his homily to review his vision for the future of the church beyond urging his fellow cardinals to shun worldliness and be more focused on the Gospels. Otherwise, he said, the Roman Catholic Church risked being reduced simply to a non-governmental organization.

弗朗西斯教皇在西斯廷教堂做了担任教皇来的首次弥撒。教皇的演讲没有借助任何笔记,他几乎没提对教堂未来的构想,只是敦促红衣主教教友们避开世俗,更关注教义。不过他说,罗马天主教堂面临着被简化为非政府组织的危险。

"We can walk as long as we want, we can build many things, but if we don't confess to Jesus Christ, this doesn't work, we will become a compassionate NGO." The organization of Islamic cooperation has expressed its hopes for better relations between Islam and Christianity under Pope Francis, that was the case under his predecessor. The head of the organization said in a letter of congratulation to the new pope that he hoped for cordiality and sincere friendship.

“我们想走多远就能走多远,我们能建造很多东西,但如果我们不向耶稣基督忏悔,那就没有意义,我们会成为慈悲的非政府组织。”伊斯兰合作组织表示,希望伊斯兰教能在弗朗西斯教皇领导下的基督教改善关系。而在本尼迪克教皇任职期间两教关系出现问题,该组织领袖在致新教皇的祝贺信中表示,希望两教能促成热诚和真挚的友谊。

The Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has defiantly rejected criticism of Constitutional changes. There has been been concern in the European union and among human rights groups at curbs on the power of the Constitutional court, the central bank and the media. But Mr. Orban said not one could present a singel fact to back up accusations that the changes were anti-democracy.
