President Obama has urged the US Congress to lift America’s debt ceiling warning failure risked returning the country to recession. With the deadline in just over a week, Mr. Obama said he was open to negotiations if Republicans agree to lift the debt ceiling temporarily. Mark Mardell reports.
奥巴马总统敦促美国国会取消美国债务上限，随着限期过去一周，他警告说不取消限额会有将美国拖入衰退的风险。奥巴马说，如果共和党同意暂时取消债务上限，他愿意展开谈判。Mark Mardell报道。

“I’m not bargain,” declared the president and his language was very hard-line comparing Republicans to hostage takers. He said he would talk to anyone about anything but not while he was being threatened and he made it clear not raising America’s debt ceiling could be catastrophic. But there was perhaps just the suggestion over way ahead, the president said he’d going to talks if the government was reopened, the debt ceiling lifted for the links of negotiations. The speaker of the House Republican John Boehner called that a demand for unconditional surrender. He said there had to be something in return.
总统宣称，“我不是在讨价还价，”他语气强硬，将共和党比作劫持人质者。他说愿意与任何人谈论任何事，但不是在自己受威胁的时候，他明确表示，不提高美国债务限额将是灾难。不过这可能只是建议，总统说如果政府重新开门，如果提高债务限额，他愿意进行谈判。众议院议长共和党约翰•博纳收回无条件放弃的要求，他说对方必须也做出让步。

There are growing signs of financial markets being effected by the political standoff in Washington. The main US stock market Indices fell more than 1% on Tuesday and there was evidence over concern in the market for US government debt meanwhile a White House official says President Obama will nominate the current vice chairman of the US Federal Reserve Janet Yellen to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman. Andrew Walker reports
越来越多迹象显示，金融市场受到华盛顿政治僵局的影响。美国主要股市指数周二下降了1%以上，有迹象显示市场对美国政府债务表示担忧。同时白宫官员称总统奥巴马将提名美联储现任副主席珍妮特•耶伦接替本•伯南克担任主席。安德鲁•沃克报道。

The chair of the US Federal Reserve is arguably the world’s most powerful economic official. If Janet Yellen does indeed get the job she would be the first woman to take that role. The Fed has had a central place in the US response to the financial crisis and the mere possibility that it might start to curtail its efforts has led to significant recent turbulence in global financial markets. Mrs. Yellen is seen as someone likely to favor withdrawing the Fed’s post-crisis measures very gradually.
美联储主席应该是全世界最有权力的经济官员了，如果珍妮特•耶伦真的得到这个职位，她将是第一个担任此职的女性。美联储在美国应对金融危机中发挥核心作用，该机构有可能减少其作用的消息导致最近全球金融市场发生剧烈动荡。一般认为耶伦可能支持逐渐撤销美联储的后危机时期措施。

一名俄罗斯外交官本周末被捕，总统普京要求荷兰方面作出道歉。莫斯科坚称武装人员当着外交官孩子的面殴打他，安娜•霍丽甘报道。

The Dutch foreign ministry has agreed to look into events inside the diplomat’s home on Sunday evening. A representative of the Russian embassy says she believes police were called after neighbor’s complained by the way Mr. Borodin was treating his children but he says he was protecting them. President Putin has accused the Netherlands of violating the country’s diplomatic immunity. Relations between the two nations are already unusually strained after the Dutch government initiated legal action against Russia in connection with the detention of 30 Greenpeace activists.

A medical study in Britain says people living in areas which have very high level of aircraft noise would appear to be at greater risk of stroke or heart disease. Researchers studied more than 3.5million people living near Heathrow Airport in West London. Here is our health correspondent Jan Rocha.
英国一项医学研究表明，居住在高飞机噪音地区的人们患中风和心脏病的风险更高。研究者调查了伦敦西部希特罗机场附近的350万居民。卫生记者Jan Rocha报道。

The researchers find that in the areas where noise from planes was loudest, the risk of being admitted to hospital or dying from a stroke or heart disease was between 10% and 20 % higher. Writing in the British medical journal, the author suggested this could be because the startling and annoying effect of the noise was leading to raise blood pressure. The team was at pains to point out that the possible link between aircraft noise and illness was far less significant than people think increase the risk from fact such as smoking. But the researchers think the connection should be investigated further and policymakers should take it into account.
研究者发现，在飞机噪音最大的地区，入院治疗和死于中风或心脏病的风险要比其他地方高出10%到20%。作者在英国医学杂志上撰文，称这是因为噪音烦人的效果能使血压升高。研究小组努力解释，飞机噪音和疾病之间的可能关联远远没有人们所认为的抽烟引发的风险大。但研究者认为应就该关联做进一步调查，政府也应该考虑到这个问题。

Police in Mexico City have freed unharmed members of a Spanish rock band who were kidnapped by a criminal gang. No arrest has been made. The members of the band Delorean were phoned in their hotel by someone posing as a policeman and told to move to a different hotel where the kidnappers were. The gang then demanded a ransom from their relatives in Spain but they seemingly left the musicians unguarded. The families informed the police who located the musicians 48hours after they went missing.
