President Obama has rejected calls by Republican members of the Senate to leave their nomination of a new supreme court judge to his successor. Mr. Obama said he would name a candidate to replace justice Antonia Scalia, who died on Saturday, and the Senate would either approve the nomination or reject it. The president called on his political opponents in Washington to overcome the hostility that prevented basic work from getting done. That fact that, it's that hard, that we are even discussing, this is, I think, a measure of how unfortunately the parliament rancor in Washington has prevented us from getting basic work done. And this would be a good moment for us to rise above that.

美国总统奥巴马拒绝了参议院共和党的要求,提名新的最高法院法官为继任者。奥巴马称将任命候选人接替大法官安东宁·斯卡利亚。思卡利亚于上周六去世。参议院可批转该提名亦可驳回。奥巴马在白宫呼吁政治对手不要阻止基本工作的进行,要克服敌意。“讨论这些很艰难,我认为议会的不满已经阻止了基本工作的进行。现在讨论这些时机刚好。”

US and Cuba have signed a deal restoring commercial flights for the first time in more than 50 years. The agreement comes as the White House is contemplating a possible presidential trip to Cuba. Will G is in Havana. There can be little done that the pace of the thaw between the US and Cuba is quickening in president Obama's last year in office. And this signing of a memorendum of understanding on commecial flights between the old enemies is a good example of that new impetus. Up to 110 daily flights from US to Cuba can begin under the new plan. 20 a day to the capital Havana, and 10 to each of the other international airports on the island. This arrangement signifies more than just a new beginning for our civil aviation relationship, said the US transport secretary Antony Fox after signing the deal. It represents a critically important milestone in the US's continued efforts to engage with Cuba and normalize our relations.

时隔半个多世纪之后,美国和古巴签署双边通航协议,恢复两国之间的商业航班。协议签署之后奥巴马考虑到古巴进行访问。此次恢复定期航班服务也是美国和古巴2014年底宣布恢复建交以来取得的重大突破。在奥巴马卸任之前,奥巴马当局也急切的希望和古巴之间建立贸易与外交关系。此次协议签署对于美国和古巴来说,今天具有历史性的意义。根据协议,两国可以各自经营每日不多于20班来回哈瓦那至美国的航班,以及每日不多于10班来自美国至古巴其他9个国际机场的班机。美国交通部部长安东尼•福克斯表示此次协议签署是两国名航关系的新开始,这表示美国致力与古巴一起完成两国关系正常化这个重要的里程碑。

The UN says the Syrian government has a duty to allow humanitarian aid to all areas under siege. Syria has approved aid deliveries to 7 sieged areas, but the UN special envoy S said the UN had to have access to all Syrians in need. Our diplomatic correspondent James Robins reports. This is an increasingly tense week after key world powers including Russia agreed to work towards a partial ceasefire in Syria. But neither the Syrian government nor opposition forces were involved, and the UN envoy S is meeting Syria's foreign minister in Damas, trying to persuade his government to stop fighting, and allow unhindered humanitarian access to all besieged areas. There are signs that aid will be allowed in some beseeged areas over the next few days, but it is hard to see an end to the fighting.
