The new trans-Atlantic group on radicalization is due to report back for London and Washington in 6 months' time. It has some notable names on it, including the former secretary of state Collin Powell. It will look at some difficult issues such as what to do with foreign fighters when they return from conflict zones like Syria to their own countries. They will hold after other announcements. The difficulties for both men is that they vowed to tackle some very difficult problems and solutions would not be easy to come by.

據(jù)報道，針對激進(jìn)運(yùn)動的跨大西洋新組織將于6個月后由英美組建。發(fā)起人中有許多名人，其中包括前國務(wù)卿科林·鮑威爾。該組織將解決一些棘手問題，比如，如何處理從沖突地帶（如敘利亞）回國的境外士兵。他們也將舉行其他的和談。對他們兩人來說都是困難的是，他們要投票解決一些非常棘手的問題，并且問題的解決并不是那么容易能得到。

Scientists monitoring global temperature says last year was the hottest in modern times. Parts of the United States were a notable exception. The figures mean 14 of the 15 warmest years on record have occurred since the turn of the century. John Tucker as a scientist from the US space agency NASA which helped compile the data.

監(jiān)控全球溫度的科學(xué)家表示，去年是近代以來最熱的一年。美國的部分地區(qū)則是一個值得注意的個例。數(shù)字顯示，記錄在案的15個最熱年份中有14個都是發(fā)生在世紀(jì)之交的時候。John Tucker是一名來自美國航天局的科學(xué)家，他幫助匯總了這些資料。

2014, the year just ended, was the warmest year on record going back when the record started in the 1880s. 2014 was about one and a quarter degrees firm high warmer than the average temperature of the earth during the 20th century. Increasing surface temperature means rising sea levels that increased the possibility of storm surges and coastal flooding.

上溯自1880s該記錄開始，剛剛結(jié)束的2014年記錄在案的最熱的一年。2014年的平均氣溫比地球20世紀(jì)平均氣溫高1.25度左右。逐漸上升的的表面溫度意味著逐漸上升的海平面，這樣就提高了風(fēng)暴潮和沿海洪災(zāi)的可能性。

Rafi Badawi's wife told the BBC that his case has been referred by the officers of Saudi king to the country's supreme court, then she said this has given him hope that officials wanted end his punishment as the supreme court has the power to overturn his conviction.

Human right groups have condemned it as brutal and several governments have asked the Saudis to review the case.

Rafi Badawi的妻子告訴BBC記者，其丈夫的案子已經(jīng)被沙特國王的官員移交給了國家最高法院，她說這就意味著她看到了政府想要結(jié)束這一刑罰的希望。因?yàn)椋罡叻ㄔ嚎梢酝品瓕λ亩ㄗ铩Ｋ騽?chuàng)辦自由討論宗教，政治以及自由言論權(quán)的網(wǎng)絡(luò)平臺而受到判刑的遭遇，已經(jīng)引起了國際社會的強(qiáng)烈反對。人權(quán)組織聲譴對他的判刑是殘酷的，并且有幾個國家的政府已經(jīng)要求薩特政府重新審理此案。

The Russian authority has launched a new investigation into president Putin's most high profile opponent, the anti-corruption campaigner Alexei Navalny. Mr. Navalny was taken in for questioning and his office raided over allegations that money raised for his foundation had been spent on staff salaries instead of what the authority said were the aims of the organization. Mr. Navalny has rejected the allegations.

俄羅斯官方開啟了對現(xiàn)任總統(tǒng)普京的最高調(diào)的反對者Alexei Navalny的新一次的調(diào)查，該人是反腐運(yùn)動的倡導(dǎo)者。Navalny先生收到了質(zhì)問，并且他的辦公室也將受到指控，由于其聲稱為達(dá)成該組織的目標(biāo)而籌集的款項(xiàng)實(shí)際上也大多用于了員工工資。但是Navalny先生否認(rèn)了這些指控。

At least 170 people are known to have died in flash floods that hit Malawi over the last month. More than 100,000 people have been displaced. Earlier this week, president Peter Mutharika declared a thrid of the country's disaster zone and appealed for international help. More than 50,000 people have also fled their homes in neighboring Mozambique.

Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth will appear in the public next week for the first time since a woman alleged that she had been forced to have sex with him as an underaged teenager 10 years ago. The prince who denies the allegations will host a reception promoting British entrepreneurship at the world economic forum in Davos in Switzerland. Peter Hunt reports.

據(jù)悉，至少有170人在上個月馬拉維的山洪暴發(fā)中喪生，至少10萬人流離失所。這周早些的時候，Peter Mutharika 總統(tǒng)劃定了本國的第三個受災(zāi)區(qū)并且呼吁國際援助。另外與其相鄰的莫桑比克，也有至少5千人逃離了該地。

安德魯王子，伊麗莎白女王的第二個兒子，將于下周自其“性丑聞”發(fā)生后第一次公開亮相。有關(guān)其“性丑聞”是這樣，有一名女性宣稱她在十年前被迫與安德魯王子發(fā)生關(guān)系，而當(dāng)時她還未成年。安德魯王子否認(rèn)了這一指控，他還將在瑞士達(dá)沃斯的國際經(jīng)濟(jì)論壇上主持一個促進(jìn)英國商業(yè)的招待會。Peter Hunt報道。

Prince Andrew has decided to press ahead and fly on a private jet to Switzerland next week and host a reception of Davos. To a pullout at this late stage after the invitations to the reception had been sent would have been a very concrete side of the damage, this allegations had been afflicted to the queen's son, allegations which had been denied in 2 statements. The claims have focused the attention again on the prince's failure of judgement when he chose to stay friends with the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. There are risks attached to the decision not to keep a low profile, not least the considerable attention prince Andrew will now attract with the gathering of world leaders.

安德魯王子已經(jīng)決定了提前自己的行程，并且將于下周乘坐私人飛機(jī)飛抵瑞士并主持達(dá)沃斯招待會。在招待會的請?zhí)呀?jīng)發(fā)出去的這一關(guān)鍵最后的時刻臨陣退縮顯然會是一個非常大的傷害。但是這一指控已經(jīng)使女王的兒子受到折磨。這一指控也主要在兩個聲明中被回絕。這一聲明集中在了王子的交友不慎，他曾經(jīng)與性犯罪者Jeffrey Epstein交往甚密。這一高調(diào)的作風(fēng)是有一定的風(fēng)險相隨的，尤其是安德魯王子即將在齊聚一堂的各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人中將引起廣泛的關(guān)注。

Teams from all over Africa have arrived in equatorial Guinea for the start of African Cup of Nations, just 2 months after the country stepped in as a host. Morocco was originally intended to hold the event but asked to postpone it because of concerns about the possible spread of the Ebola virus.

全非洲的的球隊(duì)已經(jīng)齊達(dá)赤道幾內(nèi)亞準(zhǔn)備非洲杯的開始，僅在該國出任東道主兩個月后。本來，摩洛哥打算承辦這一賽勢，但是考慮到埃博拉病毒的傳播而被叫停。
