Thais stage candlelight protest against military rule
泰國發(fā)動燭光示威 抗議軍方統(tǒng)治
Hundreds of protesters gathered in this northeastern Thai city Chiang Mai, the hometown and base of the powerful Shinawatra family. Chanting "Get out" and "no to military" it's easy to see where their loyalties lie. This city is home to two former prime ministers, both of whom have been ousted from power. And they're are at the heart of the bitter power struggle between the populist government and the royalist establishment. Yingluck Shinawatra was removed as leader for abuse of power, and her brother Thaksin won huge support among the poor but was hated by rival political groups, for alleged corruption and nepotism. As these protesters took to the streets to condemn the army's seizure of power, Yingluck spent her first night in military custody. She was detained along with dozens of political figures on Friday as the coup leaders tightened their grip on power.The Thai military says it took control after failing to find a compromise to the political deadlock and restore law and order. But as these demonstrators march through town, the anger is simmering, a sign that opposition to the takeover could be gathering momentum.
在泰國東北部城市清邁，強大的西那瓦家族的故鄉(xiāng)，數(shù)百名抗議者聚集在這里。他們高呼“出去”“拒絕軍方統(tǒng)治”。很容易看到人們對這個家族的忠誠。這個城市是兩位前總理的故鄉(xiāng)，兩人都被推翻。他們處于平民主義政府和保皇派權(quán)力爭奪的中心。英拉因濫用職權(quán)被迫辭去總理職位，她的兄長他信在貧困人口中擁有很高的支持率，但是由于所謂的腐敗和裙帶關(guān)系受到敵對政治黨派的憎恨。隨著抗議者走向街頭譴責軍方奪取政權(quán)，英拉在軍方拘留所中度過了第一個夜晚。周五，她和其他幾十名政客一起被拘留，軍事政變領(lǐng)袖加緊了對權(quán)力的控制。泰國軍方表示，由于未能找到政治僵局的妥協(xié)方案并重塑法律和秩序，他們不得不接管政權(quán)。但是隨著示威者在整座城市游行，憤怒情緒逐漸醞釀，這標志著對軍方接管政權(quán)的反對情緒越來越得勢。
Campaigning ends in Egypt's presidential race
埃及總統(tǒng)選舉競選工作結(jié)束
Supporters of army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi are out on the streets Friday in the final day of Egypt's presidential campaign, ahead of next week's vote. Sisi enjoys backing from Egyptians worn down by political unrest since the uprising in 2011.
周五，在埃及總統(tǒng)選舉競選活動的最后一天，埃及國防部長塞西(Abdel Fattah al-Sisi)的支持者走向街頭示威。投票將于下周進行。自2011年以來，埃及民眾一直遭受政治動蕩之苦。塞西受到這些民眾的支持。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) SISI SUPPORTER, MONA EID, SAYING: "He must be president because he is the only one who can protect our country outside and inside and everywhere. He is the one who can protect Egypt - there is no one but him. He is Sisi." The former army chief faces Hamdeen Sabahi, a leftist defeated by Mohamed Mursi in the 2012 election.
塞西的支持者MONA EID：“他肯定能成為總統(tǒng)，因為他是唯一一個能夠在國內(nèi)外和各處保護國家的人。只有他才能保護埃及，非他莫屬。他就是塞西。”這位前國防部長將面臨左翼領(lǐng)袖薩巴希(Hamdeen Sabahi)的挑戰(zhàn)。薩巴希在2012年的選舉中被穆爾西擊敗。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) SABAHI SUPPORTERS, ZIZO ABDOU, SAYING: "I think if there were real elections the stronger voice would be for Hamdeen Sabahi and he would overtake Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. However, in the current circumstances, we see that Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will arrive through false means."
薩巴希的支持者ZIZO ABDOU：“我認為如果舉行真正的選舉，更多人將支持薩巴希，他將超越塞西。然而，在目前的環(huán)境下，我們認為塞西會通過不正當途徑獲勝。”
The latest opinion polls show just over half of Egyptians approve of the former army chief. The Washington-based Pew Research Center poll also found that 43 percent opposed the army's overthrow of Mursi last july, a move for which the military claimed national backing.
最近的民意測驗顯示，超過一半的埃及人支持這位前軍方領(lǐng)袖。位于華盛頓的皮尤研究中心進行的民意調(diào)查發(fā)現(xiàn)，43%的人反對軍方于去年7月份推翻穆爾西。而軍方聲稱此舉是受到全國支持的。
Polling stations set up in Ukraine ahead of crucial vote
烏克蘭設(shè)立投票站準備選舉
Ukrainians are making final preparations for Sunday's presidential election -- three months after Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovich fled the capital in the face of a street uprising. Election officials are distributing polling cards to almost 34,000 polling stations across the country. Some 35.5 million people are eligible to vote.Contingency plans have been made for those in the east who may face disruptions from pro-Russian separatists -- and minority Tatars in Crimea.
烏克蘭人正在為周日的選舉進行最后的準備——距離莫斯科支持的總統(tǒng)亞努科維奇面臨動蕩逃離首都已經(jīng)三個月的時間。選舉官員正在向全國各地大約34,000個投票站分發(fā)選票。大約3550萬人擁有合法投票權(quán)。而針對東部選民則制定了突發(fā)事件應(yīng)急方案，以防受到親俄分裂分子和克里米亞韃靼少數(shù)民族的破壞。
SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) OLEG KUPRIIYENKO, HEAD OF KIEV REGIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION, SAYING: "The people who live in the east and in Crimea and have no possibility for voting for whatever reasons -- and we all know what the reasons are -- they were given the opportunity to apply to the electoral authorities to change their place of voting and exercise their voting rights in any other place of their choice."
基輔地區(qū)選舉委員會負責人OLEG KUPRIIYENKO：“無論出于什么原因，烏克蘭東部和克里米亞居民不可能投票——而原因是眾所周知的——他們有機會向選舉當局申請變更投票地址，根據(jù)自己的選擇在其他地方行使投票權(quán)。”
Opinion polls suggest confectionary magnate Petro Poroshenko will win the election, either in Sunday's first round or - if he fails to muster more than 50 percent of the vote -in a second round set for June 15. Polls show former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko a distant second in the race. Kiev's pro-Western leaders hope Sunday's election will stabilize the former Soviet republic.
民意調(diào)查表明，糖果業(yè)巨頭彼得·波羅申科(Petro Poroshenko)可能會贏得選舉，無論是在周日的第一輪選舉，還是如果他未能贏得超過50%的選票，于6月15日舉行的第二輪選舉。民意調(diào)查顯示，前烏克蘭總理尤利婭·季莫申科(Yulia Tymoshenko)遠遠地落在第二位。基輔親西方領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人希望周日的選舉能使這個前蘇聯(lián)共和國穩(wěn)定下來。
