Hungary passed a law to hand control of state universities to foundations. These are likely to be run by ruling-party supporters, who can appoint their successors. This arrangement cannot be changed without a two-thirds majority in parliament. Critics griped that the ruling party had in effect given itself permanent control of higher education.
匈牙利通過了一項法律，將國立大學的控制權移交給基金會。這些基金會很可能由執(zhí)政黨的支持者管理，后者可以指定繼任者。如果在議會沒有贏得三分之二的多數席位，這一決定將無法改變。批評人士抱怨稱，執(zhí)政黨實際上壟斷了對高等教育的永久控制權。
Arlene Foster said she would step down as Northern Ireland’s first minister (or premier) in June following a revolt against her leadership in her Democratic Unionist Party. Its members have become increasingly agitated by the post-Brexit deal for Northern Ireland, which in effect creates a border for goods crossing from mainland Britain.
阿琳·福斯特(Arlene Foster)表示，她將于今年6月辭去北愛爾蘭首席部長(或總理)一職，此前她在民主統(tǒng)一黨內的領導地位遭到了反對。脫歐后的“北愛爾蘭議定書”令其成員國愈發(fā)不安，該協(xié)議實際上為從英國大陸過境的商品創(chuàng)造了一條邊界。

In a leaked audio tape Muhammad Javad Zarif, Iran’s foreign minister, said that the Revolutionary Guard dictates foreign policy and took Iran into Syria’s civil war at the urging of Russia. He also said that Russia tried to stop Iran from agreeing to a nuclear deal in 2015. Talks to revive the deal, which America ditched in 2018, resumed in Vienna.
在一段泄露的錄音中，伊朗外長穆罕默德·賈瓦德·扎里夫表示，伊朗的外交政策由革命衛(wèi)隊主導，并在俄羅斯的敦促下將伊朗卷入敘利亞內戰(zhàn)。他還表示，俄羅斯曾試圖阻撓伊朗在2015年達成一項核協(xié)議。美國在2018年退出了該協(xié)議，而旨在重返該協(xié)議的談判在維也納舉行。
In Israel Benny Gantz, the leader of the Blue and White party, was appointed justice minister after Binyamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, tried to slide a member of his own party, Likud, into the position. Mr Netanyahu’s move was deemed illegal by the attorney-general, as it violated the coalition agreement with Mr Gantz. The appointment is a sensitive issue: Mr Netanyahu is on trial for corruption.
