President Barack Obama has sought to reassure the American people following revelations that US intelligence agencies have conducted large-scale surveillance of telephone and internet activity. Mr Obama said nobody was listening to the routine phone calls of Americans while the internet checks did not apply to US citizens. The president said the measures were needed to give Americans safe while protecting their privacy.
据透露,美国情报机构进行了大规模的电话和互联网活动监督,奥巴马总统试图安慰美国人民。奥巴马说,没有人会监听美国人日常的电话,而互联网监察并不适用于美国公民。总统说需要采取措施保证美国人安全的同时保护他们的隐私。

"I think it’s important to recognise that you can’t have 100 per cent security and also then have 100 per cent privacy and zero inconvenience. We are going to have to make some choices as a society.”
“我认为重要的是要承认,不可能有百分之百的安全和百分之百的隐私,同时没有任何不便。我们整个社会必须做出一些选择。”

He said the surveillance programmes were in place to anticipate and prevent terrorist activity and had been approved by Congress.
他说,已经实施了监督程序来预测并预防恐怖活动,并已得到国会的批准。

"I was approaching the library and I heard two shots. I didn’t think anything of them. I didn’t think they were gunshots. I saw people running. I was still curious, so I didn’t turn around and leave immediately. I got behind the bookstore and I heard somebody discharging like a hook weapon of ammunition. I got very scared.”

The third and last debate between Iranian presidential candidates has seen one of the front runners Saeed Jalili criticised for the way that talks on the country’s nuclear programme have been conducted. One of the other candidates, Ali Akbar Velayati, said that talks under the current negotiating team led by Mr Jalili were deeply flawed. He said they’d failed to achieve the aims of securing Iran’s nuclear rights and ending international sanctions.

The drone strike took place in a remote valley in the tribal region of North Waziristan near the Afghan border. The timing will be uncomfortable for Pakistan’s new Prime Minister Nawas Sharif. It’s just two days since he said drone strikes must end and his country’s sovereignty must be respected. Local reports say a number of missiles hit a compound. It’s unclear who the target was, but several militant groups have camps in the area, including the Pakistan Taliban. Its deputy leader was killed in a drone strike last week.
无人机空袭发生在与阿富汗接壤的北部瓦济里斯坦部落地区一个偏僻的山谷中,这个时机对巴基斯坦新任总理纳瓦兹•谢里夫来说并不好。就在两天前,他还表示必须结束无人机袭击,称必须尊重该国的主权。当地报道称多枚导弹袭击了一个院落,尚不清楚袭击对象是什么,但几个武装组织在该地区都有营地,包括巴基斯坦塔利班,其副职头目在上周在无人机空袭中被杀害。
