Toronto Mayor Rob Ford stripped of some powers
多倫多市長福特被剝奪部分權利
He's admitted to smoking crack cocaine. And he's been making international headlines with his - quote - "drunken stupors,"obscene outbursts and combative exchanges with reporters. Now, Toronto City Council has voted to strip Mayor Rob Ford of some powers, in a system that has very few legal means to remove him from office.
他承認自己吸食了高純度可卡因。他因所謂的“醉酒后不清醒”的行為和與記者的唇槍舌戰不斷登上國際媒體頭條。現在，多倫多城市委員會投票剝奪了市長福特部分權利。根據加拿大的制度，幾乎沒有合法途徑讓福特下臺。
(SOUNDBITE)(English) TORONTO MAYOR ROB FORD, SAYING: "I completely understand the situation that my fellow colleagues are in and if it wouldn't cost the taxpayers an arm and a leg which obviously it's going to, I would have done the same thing. If I had a mayor acting the way I conducted myself I would have done the exact same thing."
多倫多市長福特：“我完全理解同僚們所處的境地。如果不會對納稅人造成重大損失的話，很明顯我也會這樣做。如果我的市長做了像我這樣的行為，我也會這樣做。”
Council voted 39 to 3 to suspend the mayor's ability to appoint and dismiss the deputy mayor and the heads of council committees. Council also voted 41 to 2 to give the deputy mayor, rather than the mayor, special powers during emergencies such as natural disasters. Only Rob Ford and his brother, Doug, voted no. Councillors are expected on Monday to consider slashing his budget. The mayor says he plans to challenge Friday's moves in court. He says he was elected to do a job. And he won't step down. In fact, he has vowed to run for mayor again in next October's election.
委員會以39票對3票暫停市長委任和解雇副市長和委員會負責人的權利。委員會還以41票對2票賦予副市長，而不是市長，處理自然災害等緊急事故的特殊權利。只有市長福特和他的兄弟Doug投票反對。委員們還將于周一考慮削減福特的預算。市長表示，他將在法庭上挑戰委員們在周五做出的決定。他說，他當選是為了進行工作。他不會辭職。實際上，他還誓言在明年十月份的選舉中競選連任。
EU pledges more money as UN says situation improving
歐盟承諾增加對菲律賓捐款
More aid is pledged to the Philippines after one of the world's most powerful typhoons. The head of the European Community Humanitarian Office Kristaline Georgieva has promised that aid from the EU will exceed 25 million U.S. dollars.
世界最強力臺風之一登陸菲律賓之后，各地承諾進行更多援助。歐盟負責人道主義援助事務的喬治艾娃(Kristalina Georgieva)承諾歐盟將增加2500萬美元的救助。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) HEAD OF THE EUROPEAN EUROPEAN COMMUNITY HUMANITARIAN OFFICE (ECHO), KRISTALINA GEORGIEVA, SAYING: "The Commission is providing an additional seven million euros, that brings the funding from the European Commission to 20 million euros for immediate relief and also for building early recovery, because clearly the need of shelter here is enormous."
歐盟負責人道主義援助事務的喬治艾娃(Kristalina Georgieva)：“歐洲委員會增加700萬歐元的救助，來自歐洲委員會的捐款總金額已經達到2000萬歐元，用于迫在眉睫的救助和初期重建工作。因為很明顯，這里對庇護所的需求非常巨大。”
The United Nations says that international aid is finally reaching the worst hit areas in the central Philippines after a super typhoon ripped through the country. But the UN says still more needs to be done with nearly two million homeless and thousands dead.
聯合國表示，超強臺風襲擊菲律賓之后，國際援助終于到達受災最嚴重的地區。但是聯合國表示，由于接近200萬人無家可歸，數千人遇難，仍需做出許多努力。
(SOUNDBITE) (Filipino) MOTHER OF FOUR, VIOLETA DAGATAN, SAYING: "It's difficult to return to Tacloban. There are still corpses on the roads, it smells. There hasn't been much cleaning done."
VIOLETA DAGATAN是四個孩子的母親，她說：“重返塔克洛班非常困難。道路上仍有許多死尸，氣味非常難聞。許多清理工作還沒有完成。”
She like hundreds of others, has seen her family wrenched apart. Violeta Dagatan had to leave one of her four children behind with his grandmother. Now she watches every plane to see if it carries her son.
她和數百名其他人一樣，看到自己的家人骨肉分離。Violeta Dagatan不得不把四個孩子中的一人留下來和祖母在一起。現在她查看每一架飛機，看是否搭載了她的兒子。
Abdulla Yameen elected President of Maldives
亞米恩當選馬爾代夫總統
The Maldives elects Abdulla Yameen as president. He narrowly defeated the favorite, Mohamed Nasheed -- the Maldives' first democratically elected president in 2008, who was forced to resign early last year in what he said was a coup. During a bitter campaign, Yameen and his backers accused Nasheed and his Party of being too secular and close to the West. After the ballot, Yameen addressed hundreds of supporters.
馬爾代夫選舉阿卜杜勒·亞米恩(Abdulla Yameen)為總統。他以少數優勢擊敗最受歡迎的穆罕默德·納希德(Mohamed Nasheed)——2008年馬爾代夫第一位民主選舉的總統，去年在他所說的軍事政變中被迫辭職。在激烈的競選中，亞米恩和他的支持者指控納希德和他的黨派過分世俗，親近四方國家。投票過后，亞米恩向數百名支持者發表講話。
SOUNDBITE: Presidential Election Winner Abdulla Yameen, The Leader Of The Progressive Party Of Maldives Saying: "The first focus of our coalition government is growing the economy, stabilise the Maldivian rupiah vis-a-vis the dollar and also to create opportunities for the youth."
總統選舉獲勝者，馬爾代夫進步黨黨魁阿卜杜勒·亞米恩(Abdulla Yameen)：“我們的聯合政府最關心的就是增長經濟，穩定馬爾代夫貨幣對美元的匯率，為年輕人創造機會。”
