南非總統祖瑪遭執政黨逼宮
This is the BBC New. Hello, I"m Jonathan Izard. Reports from northern Syria say there have been further air attacks by Syrian government forces on rebel-held areas in Idlib province with some sources suggesting that toxic gas was used. Residents and medical staff report the smell of a foul odour as helicopters passed overhead. Our correspondent in Beirut Martin Patience has more details. One doctor told the BBC that helicopters dropped barrel bombs on the town of Saraqeb which has seen some of the fiercest fighting. He said 15 people were brought to hospitals after the suspected chemical attack. They smelt of chlorine he said and were suffering breathing problems and irritation in their eyes. Damascus has denied US allegations that there has been using chemical weapons on opposition forces. The Syria regime is currently fighting to regain control of Idlib province, one of the last major areas still under opposition control.
這裡是BBC新聞，大家好，我是喬納森·伊澤德。根據敘利亞北方報道，敘政府對叛軍控制的伊德利卜省地區再次發動空襲，有消息人士指出他們使用了毒氣。當地居民和醫務人員報告稱，在直升機飛過頭頂時，他們聞到了難聞的氣味。請聽本台駐貝魯特記者馬丁·帕申斯特帶來的報道。一名醫生對本台表示稱，直升機在薩拉基卜鎮投下了桶狀炸彈，該地區曾進行過激烈的戰鬥，他表示稱疑似化學襲擊過後，15人被送往醫院治療。他說聞到了氯氣的味道，而且感到呼吸困難，眼睛感到刺激。美國指責敘政府使用化學武器對抗反叛軍，大馬士革方面給予否認。敘利亞政府最近正在爭奪伊德利卜省的控制權，伊德利卜省也是反對武裝控制的最後幾個地區之一。
Senior figures in the African National Congress are to hold an emergency meeting today to decide the future of President Jacob Zuma who has resisted intense pressure to step down. The Party"s popularity has already waning amid a weakening economy and the claims of corruption surrounding the President. From Johannesburg, Andrew Harding reports. The pressure on Jacob Zuma is growing relentlessly. On Sunday, a small ANC delegation reportedly failed to convince him to step down. Now a larger group is expected to gather in Jahannesburg to discuss his removal and to pave the way for the Party"s executive committee to turn a polite request into a formal instruction. President Zuma, already facing substantial corruption charges, has seen his power base collapse after his allies lost control of the ANC in December and the Party"s new leader Cyril Ramaphosa promised to tackle high-level corruption.
非國大高級官員將要在今天召開一場緊急會議，討論總統雅各布·祖瑪的去留問題，祖瑪目前備受下台壓力。隨著經濟不景氣，執政黨受歡迎度一落千丈，還有關於總統涉嫌貪污指控，以下是安德魯·哈丁在約翰內斯堡發回的報道。雅各布·祖瑪壓力日益增大。周日，有報道稱小型非國大代表未能勸說他下台。如今，約翰內斯堡有望組成大團體來討論他的下台，這也是為執政黨執行委員會鋪平道路，委員會將從之前的禮貌請求變成正式命令。總統祖瑪面臨大量貪污指控，去年12月，其盟友失去了對非國大的控制權，祖瑪的權力基礎也就此坍塌，該黨新領袖西里爾·拉馬福薩承諾將打擊高層腐敗問題。
