The Director of the US Secret Service Julia Pierson has resigned a day after accepting full responsibility for a security breach at the White House. Last week, an intruder armed with a knife sprinted across the White House lawn and burst through the unlocked front entrance. Here's our North America editor Jon Sopel.
美国特勤处处长朱莉娅·皮尔森为白宫安全漏洞全面责任人一天后辞职。上周一名携带匕首的男子跑过白宫草坪,闯入未锁的前门出口。BBC北美编辑乔恩·素帕尔(Jon Sopel)报道。
Julia Pierson was given a rough ride when appearing before a congressional committee. One member say that he wished to god that she protected the White House in the same way that she was protecting her reputation. And all the time there dripped,dripped off fresh allegations; it was originally claimed that Omar Gonzalez had barely got to the door of the White House then it became apparent he'd got into the heart of the building before being overpowered. And it has also been revealed that a security guard carrying a gun and with three convictions for assault traveled in a lift with the President two weeks ago, a clear violation of Secret Service protocols.
朱莉娅·皮尔森在国会委员会露面时举步维艰。一名国会成员称,他希望皮尔森以保护自己声誉的同等方式保护白宫。时间一点点过去,她随时面临新指控。最初据称奥马尔·冈萨雷斯(Omar Gonzalez)未能接近白宫门口,后来很明显,他在进入建筑内部后才被制服。据披露,两周前一名持枪并被判三项袭击罪的保安人员与奥巴马总统共乘电梯,这显然违反了特勤处条款。
The US Secretary of State John Kerry has called on the authorities in Hong Kong to show restraint towards pro-democracy demonstrators in the territory after days of protests.

As China knows, we support the Universal Suffrage in Hong Kong according with the Basic Law. And we believe an open society with the highest possible degree of autonomy, and we have high hopes that, the Hong Kong authorities will exercise restraints and respect the protesters' right to express their views peacefully. The protests which began on Saturday have spread to new parts of the city as the territory's pro-Beijing leadership celebrated China's National Day.

The United States has raised questions over Israel's policy towards the Palestinians after the first meeting between the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama since the recent conflict in Gaza. Speaking at the White House,Mr. Obama said the status quo between Israel and the Palestinians had to change. Just hours later, the White House spokesman Josh Earnest strongly criticized Israeli plans to move ahead with a controversial housing development in east Jerusalem.
自加沙发生冲突后,以色列总理内塔尼亚胡和奥巴马总统进行了首次会晤,之后美国对以色列针对巴勒斯坦的政策提出质疑。奥巴马总统在白宫发表讲话称,必须改变以色列和巴勒斯坦的现状。仅数小时后,白宫发言人乔希·厄尼思特痛斥以色列进行耶路撒冷东部有争议的住房开发计划。
This development will only draw condemnation from the international community, distance Israel from even its closest allies,poison the atmosphere not only with the Palestinians but also with the very Arab governments, with which Prime Minister Netanyahu said he wanted to build relations. It also will call into question Israel's ultimate commitment to a peaceful negotiated settlement with the Palestinians.
开发计划只会引起国际社会的谴责,使以色列被最亲近盟国疏远,破坏以色列与巴勒斯坦,甚至与阿拉伯国家的气氛。而内塔尼亚胡总理曾表示希望与这些国家建交。此举还会引起人们质疑以色列对于与巴勒斯坦和平协议作出的最终承诺。
As doctors in Texas treat America's first Ebola patient, the state's governor Rick Perry has told reporters that some school-age children came into contact with him. Mr. Perry said the children will be closely monitored for any symptoms. The patient, a Liberia man, is in hospital in Dallas.
德克萨斯州的医生正治疗美国首名埃博拉患者,该州州长里克·佩里告诉记者,一些学龄儿童曾与他接触。佩里称将密切监控这些儿童的症状。病人是一名利比里亚男子,现在在达拉斯医院接受治疗。

An organization dedicated to tracking down Nazi war criminals has handed the German authorities a list of 80 elderly suspects it thinks were part of a mobile death squads. The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Jerusalem wants those still alive to face prosecution. It says they were members of SS-led paramilitary units known as Einsatzgruppen. Jane Peel reports.
一个致力于追捕纳粹战犯的组织向德国当局递交了一份80名老年嫌疑人的名单,该组织认为这些人曾是流动暗杀小组组员。驻耶路撒冷的西蒙·维森塔尔中心希望仍在世的战犯受到控告。该组织称这些人曾是纳粹领导的准军事特遣部队的成员。简·皮尔(Jane Peel)报道。
The Einsatzgruppen were paramilitary units whose members were drawn largely from the SS. The mobile squads followed Nazi Germany's troops east through Ukraine and the Baltic states in the early years of the Second World War, rounding up and shooting Jews and others considered enemies of the Reich and seizing their property. The killings which began before the death camps were operating are considered to have been the start of the holocaust. Just a few of the estimated 3,000 members of the Einsatzgruppen were tried and convicted after the war.
特遣部队是准军事部队,其成员大部分来自纳粹。二战最初几年,这个流动暗杀小组追随纳粹德国军队向东,越过乌克兰和波罗的海诸国,聚集并枪杀犹太人和其他被认为是德意志的敌人,之后掠夺他们的财产。该杀戮在开设集中营前就被认为是大屠杀的开端。战争结束后,近3000名特遣部队成员中仅少部分人受审并判罪。

Sarita Davi has been placed under investigation by the International Boxing Federation.
