美国FBI介入窃听案调查新闻集团
The Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States has opened an inquiry into allegations that Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation sought to hack into phones of victims of the September 11th attacks on News York and Washington 10 years ago. The decision followed requests from several American politicians. Here’s Andrew North in Washington.
As allegations of criminal behaviour by Rupert Murdoch’s newspapers in the UK have flowed across the Atlantic, the pressure has been mounting on News Corporation here in the US, which produces most of its income. Several Congressmen have lined up to say he should be investigated, in particular over claims his journalists may have hacked into the phones of victims of the September 11th attacks. An FBI source has said it is now looking into these allegations following a letter from the New York Republican Peter King.
Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has said that he and his son James will after all attend a British parliamentary committee hearing to answer questions about the phone hacking scandal surrounding one of his newspapers in Britain.
意大利参议院通过逾700亿欧元财政紧缩法案
The Italian Senate has approved an austerity budget worth $68bn in an effort to prevent the European debt crisis from engulfing the country. The cuts have been rushed through after financial markets began speculating that Italy was facing a Greek-style debt repayment crisis. Austerity measures in Greece have provoked violent protests. The BBC’s Gavin Hewitt reports on Italian reaction.
They seem more accepting at the moment, the Italian people. And certainly the atmosphere here is not similar to Greece’s at the moment. Yes, public-sector wages are going to be frozen. There will also be cuts to some health services, but I think at the moment people recognise that this is a necessary price that has to be paid. One essential difference: the political parties here have united behind these austerity measures. In Greece, the government had to sort of forcing through with a very narrow majority.
肯尼亚拟进一步开放难民营
Kenya’s Prime Minister Raila Odinga says it will open a new Kenyan camp to refugees fleeing the drought and conflict in Somalia. Work there was suspended this year as the Kenyan government had been wary of encouraging an exodus from Somalia. Mr Odinga made the announcement during a visit to the nearby Dadaab camp, which is startling to cope with 380,000 people. Kevin Mwachiro reports.
Thursday’s announcement that the Ifo II extension camp can now be opened could not come at a better time. Currently over 1,300 refugees are streaming in daily into Kenya from war-torn Somalia. After spending the day touring various sections of the camp, Prime Minister Raila Odinga noted that the conditions that the refugees were living under were unacceptable. The new camp has a capacity to accommodate up to 80,000 refugees. Work had previously begun on the camp but was stopped early this year when the Kenyan government who had cited security concerns as one of the reasons for the closure.

联合国正式承认南苏丹为第193个成员国
The United Nations General Assembly has voted to admit to newly independent South Sudan as its 193rd member. From the UN in New York, Barbara Plett.
It was a breezy sunny day in midtown Manhattan and the wind caught the South Sudan flag as it unfurled in front of the United Nations. The flagpole was borrowed from Mauritius for the ceremony. But that didn’t detract from the significance of the event, or the enthusiasm of the Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
“The United Nations is very pleased to welcome our 193rd member state, the newest nation in Africa, the newest nation on earth.”
The flag has six colours, including white for peace, but also red for suffering, marking the millions of dead and displaced during decades of civil war with the north.
