Pro-Russian activists in eastern Ukraine have decided to go ahead with a referendum on self-determination on Sunday, ignoring a call from President Putin to postpone it. Steve Rosenberg reports from Moscow. “His proposal yesterday to postpone the referendum in eastern Ukraine appeared an admission that just wasn't practical to organize the plebiscite in the short time remaining, and that the Kremlin may be prepared now to come to terms with Kiev. Most analysts had expected the pro-Russia separatists to heed the president's call, they haven't. But Vladimir Putin could turn that to his advantage, citing it as a proof that Russia is not orchestrating events across the border as the West has claimed.” Ukrainian government says the proposed vote is illegal and what it calls anti-terrorist operations in eastern Ukraine will continue. Ukrainian border agency says armed men in eastern Ukraine have attempted to seize control of a border post at Esvarino. The agency said about 40 armed men arrived in minivans at a crossing point in the Lugansk region on Thursday evening, surrounding the post and calling on Ukrainian guards to lay down their weapons. A statement said the gunmen threw petrol bombs, but fled when the border guards opened fire. There has been no independent confirmation of the incident.
乌克兰东部亲俄罗斯活动家决定于周日继续举行自主全民公投，不顾俄罗斯总统普京推迟公投的呼吁。Steve Rosenberg在莫斯科报道。
普京昨天提出推迟乌克兰东部的全民公投似乎是承认在剩余的这么短时间内组织平民制定法是不切实际的，克里姆林宫似乎将与基辅达成协议。多数分析人士曾预计亲俄分裂分子会考虑普京总统的呼吁，然而他们却不管不顾。不过普京会将这一点转化为自己的优势，将这一点作为俄罗斯没有像西方国家指控的那样操纵乌克兰事务的证据。
乌克兰政府称，国家东部倡议的投票是非法的，国家将继续在乌克兰东部发动反恐行动。乌克兰边境处表示，东部武装分子试图控制边境检查点。该机构表示，周四晚上，大约40名武装分子搭乘小型货车抵达Lugansk边检站，包围了检查点，要求乌克兰卫兵放下武器。一份声明称，这些持枪分子投掷了汽油弹，但是边境守卫开枪后他们迅速逃窜。目前还没有任何机构证实该事故的真实性。

The American Secretary of State, John Kerry has announced that an American specialist team is joining the hunt in Nigeria to locate and free more than 200 schoolgirls abducted by Islamist militants. Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan has acknowledged that the greatest threat facing his country is terrorism, but he insisted it could be neutralized with international help. Earlier, Mr. Kerry's predecessor, Hillary Clinton joined growing criticism of the Nigerian authorities, saying they had to perform better. “The government of Nigeria needs to get serious about protecting all of its citizens, and insuring that every child has the right and opportunity to go to school in security and safety. That is a fundamental responsibility of any government. And Nigerians should hold their leaders accountable.”
美国国务卿约翰•克里表示，美国一支专家团队加入被伊斯兰激进分子绑架的200多名女生的搜索和解救工作。尼日利亚总统乔纳森承认国家面临的最大的威胁就是恐怖主义，但是坚持称在国际社会的帮助下一定能够被取缔。此前，克里的前任国务卿希拉里•克林顿加入越来越严厉的批评中，指控尼日利亚当局没有采取更好的行动。
尼日利亚政府在保护所有公民方面需要更加认真，确保每一位儿童都有权利，有机会在安全的环境中去上学。这是每一个政府的基本责任。尼日利亚人应该让他们的领导人担负起责任。

The United States has for the first time imposed sanctions on a Russian bank active in Syria as part of efforts to step up economic pressure on the Syrian government. The move was announced as Syrian opposition leaders are on a visit to Washington to meet senior administration officials. Barbara Plett Usher reports. “This is the first time America has sanctioned a Russian bank for its dealings with Damascus. The US Treasury Department said this build on existing efforts to choke off the Syrian government's access to the international financial system. New sanctions were also imposed on two Syrian state refineries and six senior officials. The announcement was made shortly before the head of the Syrian opposition Ahmad Al-Jarba met the US Secretary of State, John Kerry, he is on his first official visit to Washington during which he is also expected to see President Barack Obama.”

The Syrian government has retaken control of the old city of Homs, once known as the capital of the revolution after the evacuation of rebel troops. Hundreds of fighters and trapped civilians boarded buses to be taken to a rebel-held town north of the city to join nearly 1,000 people who left on Wednesday.
叛军撤退后，叙利亚政府重新控制了老城霍姆斯，这里曾经是革命的首都。数百名战士和被困公民登上大巴车，被带往霍姆斯北部叛军控制的城镇，与周三离开的接近1,000人会合。

South Africa's governing ANC has won an emphatic victory in the country's general election, extending its 20 years in power. With most votes counted, the party has about 64%. Its closest rival, the Democratic Alliance has more than 22%, a marked improvement on its previous showing. Andrew Harding reports from Johannesburg. “This election has proved to be about consolidation. The governing ANC has shaken off corruption scandals and an economic slump to hold on to almost 2/3 of all votes. It's likely to use that impressive mandate to try to drive through its national development plan, rejecting nationalization and emphasizing investment and infrastructure. The business friendly plan has alarmed South Africa's powerful unions, some of which may soon break away to form their own party.”
南非执政党非国大(ANC)在全国大选中赢得了决定性的胜利，再次延长了已经执掌了20年之久的权利。大部分选票已经统计完成，ANC赢得了64%的选票，票数最接近的党派民主联盟赢得了超过22%的选票，比上次选举有着很大的进步。Andrew Harding在约翰内斯堡报道。
这次选举是巩固性质的。执政党ANC解决了贪污丑闻和经济低迷的困扰，赢得了接近三分之二选民的支持。他们很有可能利用这种令人印象深刻的指令来推行全国发展计划，拒绝国有化，强调投资和基础设施建设。这项有利于发展商业的计划警醒了南非权势强大的工会，其中一些可能会组建自己的党派。
