The British Prime Minister David Cameron has defended his decision to veto a new European treaty aimed at strengthening the eurozone, saying he did so to protect Britain's national interest. He said he'd genuinely sought agreement at last week's summit but couldn't get the safeguards he wanted to protect the financial sector. But the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg, who wasn't in the Commons to hear Mr Cameron, says differences between them remain and the coalition had to work together to re-engage with Europe to protect jobs.
英国首相卡梅伦为自己否决旨在加强欧元区的欧盟新协议的决定进行了辩护，称他这么做是为了保护英国的国家利益。他说，在上周的峰会上确实寻求达成协议，但没有得到他想要的保护金融机构的保证条款。副首相克莱格当时没有在下议院听卡梅伦的讲话，并称他们两人之间仍然存在意见分歧，联盟必须共同努力，重新与欧洲合作以保护就业。

"The prime minister and I clearly do not agree on the outcome of the summit last week. I've made it very clear that I think isolation in Europe, when we are one against 26, is potentially a bad thing for jobs, a bad thing for growth and a bad thing for the livelihoods of millions of people in this country."
“我和首相显然对上周峰会的结果有不同意见，我已经说得很清楚，我们以1:26的对比处于孤立地位，这对就业来说是个潜在危险，对本国的发展和数百万民众来说都是不利的。”

Defence officials in Pakistan have told the BBC that they are considering demanding millions of dollars in annual taxes and charges on Nato trucks and fuel tankers. The vehicles pass through Pakistan en route to Afghanistan. Jill McGivering reports.
巴基斯坦国防官员告诉BBC，他们正考虑对北约卡车和运油车征收数百万美元的年税和费用。这些车辆经由巴基斯坦进入阿富汗，Jill McGivering报道。

Many in Pakistan are still furious about last month's Nato air strikes close to the Afghan border, which killed at least 24 members of its security forces. For Nato, the overland route through Pakistan is a key part of supporting operations in Afghanistan. Now Pakistan's defence officials have introduced a new factor: cost. They say that until now the transit permission has been verbal and informal, but it may be time, they say, to negotiate a formal agreement.
很多巴基斯坦人仍对上月北约在阿富汗边境附近的空袭愤恨不已，此次空袭至少造成24名安全部队成员死亡。对北约来说，通过巴基斯坦的陆路，是支持在阿富汗的军事行动的重要组成部分。现在巴基斯坦国防官员引入新事物—成本。他们说，到目前为止，通行只是非官方的口头约定，但现在可能是时候协商达成一项正式协议。

A Russian billionaire, Mikhail Prokhorov, says he'll challenge the Prime Minister Vladimir Putin in the presidential election in March. Mr Prokhorov said the uNPRecedented anti-government protests that have been held in recent days were a sign that Russian people were becoming more alert.
一名俄罗斯亿万富翁Mikhail Prokhorov称将在三月份的总统选举挑战总理普京。Prokhorov称，最近几天这场前所未有的反政府抗议，标志着俄罗斯人民已开始觉醒。

"Society is waking up. And no matter whether we want it or not, those authorities who fail to establish a dialogue with society, I think they will soon have to go. Therefore, a serious change is happening in the world, and a new sort of person is emerging, I would say, due to the development of the Internet, and communications between the authorities and society are becoming closer."
“社会正在觉醒，当局未能与社会建立对话，不管我们愿意与否，我想他们都必须下台了。因此，全世界正发生一场严肃的变革，一种新的人物正在涌现，我想是由于互联网的发展，当局和社会的交流变得更密切。”

Mr Prokhorov said he was targeting Russia's growing middle class. The BBC Moscow correspondent says there's deep mistrust of the super-rich in Russia, so it's unclear how much support he'll have.
Prokhorov说，他的目标是俄罗斯正在成长起来的中产阶级，BBC驻莫斯科记者说，俄罗斯巨富阶层对他很不信任，所以不清楚他会得到多少支持。
