The Israeli army says it has issued a warning to residents of eastern and northern Gaza, advising them to leave their homes. The warning comes as attempts to introduce a cease fire in the territory of falter. Military official said dozens of rocket launch sites used by Palestinian militants had already been hit in response to continued attacks by Hamas. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel had no choice but to intensify its campaign as Hamas had rejected a diplomatic solution. “It would have been preferable to have solved this diplomatically, and that is what we tried to do when we accepted the Egyptian proposal for a ceasefire. But Hamas leaves us no choice but to expand and intensify the campaign against it.”

以色列軍隊(duì)稱已向加沙東部和北部居民發(fā)出警告，建議他們離開家園。警告是為了在該地區(qū)實(shí)施停火，軍方官員稱巴勒斯坦軍方使用的幾十個(gè)火箭發(fā)射點(diǎn)已被襲擊，這是對(duì)哈馬斯持續(xù)襲擊的應(yīng)對(duì)。總理本杰明?內(nèi)塔尼亞胡說(shuō)哈馬斯已經(jīng)拒絕用外交手段解決沖突，因此以色列別無(wú)選擇，只能加大攻擊力度。
“用外交手段解決是更好的選擇，這也是我們?cè)噲D做的，因此我們接受了埃及提出的停火建議。但哈馬斯讓我們別無(wú)選擇，只能擴(kuò)大和加強(qiáng)進(jìn)攻的力度。”

Leaders from the BRICS Group of emerging economic powers have agreed to set up a new development bank and a contingency fund.

Talks aimed at ending the fighting in the north of Mali are due to begin later today between the government and six Arab and Tuareg armed groups known as the Lords of the Sahara. The peace talks will be hosted by the Algerian government in the capital Algiers. Alex Duval Smith reports from Mali's capital Bamako. “The Jihadists have not been invited, neither have representatives of the majority black central population of northern Mali. These are talks between the government and the Lords of the Sahara, six Arab and Tuareg armed groups. Former allies of the Islamists, some want to break away from Mali, all vie for control of lucrative trade routes for arms, fuel and drugs in an area too vast for the government to control.”

World news from the BBC.
The Foreign Minister of Iran, Mohammad Javad Zarif has suggested that talks with six world powers over his country's controversial nuclear program may need to go on beyond this Sunday's deadline. Mr. Zarif has said more time might be necessary as the parties continue negotiations in Vienna with the aim of transforming the interim agreement into a final comprehensive deal. “I see an inclination on the part of my negotiating partners that they believe more time may be useful and necessary, but we haven't made that determination yet as Secretary Kerry said earlier today that we haven't made that determination yet, we are still consulting, associating, looking still at the possibility of trying to finish this.”

伊朗外長(zhǎng)穆罕默德?賈瓦德?扎里夫表示，與六個(gè)大國(guó)進(jìn)行就本國(guó)有爭(zhēng)議核項(xiàng)目進(jìn)行的會(huì)談可能要延長(zhǎng)到本周日最后期限之后。扎里夫說(shuō)，由于各方希望將臨時(shí)協(xié)議轉(zhuǎn)化為最終綜合性協(xié)議，目前在維也納繼續(xù)協(xié)商，因此需要更多時(shí)間。
 “我看到我們協(xié)商各方的意愿，他們認(rèn)為更多時(shí)間是有用且必需的，但我們尚未作出這一決定，因?yàn)閲?guó)務(wù)卿克里今天早些時(shí)候說(shuō)我們尚未作出決定，我們?nèi)栽趨f(xié)商，希望能尋找完成這一任務(wù)的各種可能辦法。”

Now to our main story. A Hamas spokesman Assama Hamdan had said that they had initially rejected a ceasefire put forward by the Egyptians, but a process for considering it had started. “There was no ceasefire proposal introduced to Hamas; it was published in the medium and we said clearly Hamas will not, we are not able to discuss ideas published in the media, to discuss ideas, proposals supposed to be through political channels, which is working now. But we said clearly we will discuss any ideas which can come through political channels and we will discuss it in our responsible way because we have said from the first day, we must shift a ceasefire affair as ceasefire which will help and protect the Palestinian people.”

下面是主要新聞，哈馬斯新聞發(fā)言人阿薩姆?哈姆丹稱最初摒棄了埃及提出的停火建議，但已開始考慮這一建議。
“沒有人向哈馬斯提出停火建議，提議是發(fā)表在媒體上的，我們明確表示過(guò)，我們不會(huì)協(xié)商發(fā)表在媒體上的建議，而是協(xié)商通過(guò)政治渠道提出的建議，這就是我們現(xiàn)在做的。但我們明確表示過(guò)，我們會(huì)協(xié)商任何通過(guò)政治渠道提出的建議，將以負(fù)責(zé)的態(tài)度來(lái)協(xié)商，因?yàn)槲覀儚囊婚_始就說(shuō)過(guò)，我們必須轉(zhuǎn)向停火，因?yàn)橥；饘椭捅Ｗo(hù)巴勒斯坦人民。”

A major global study has found that 6 in 10 people feel they spend too much of their time looking at electronic screens and crave a simpler, slower life.
