Former vice president of FIFA Jack Warner has accused the United States of pursuing corruption charges against senior football officials because it failed to win the right to host the 2022 World Cup. Writing in a newspaper he owns, Mr. Warner said the charges against him and 13 others showed the US was biased. Ed Thomas has more. “Mr. Warner said the United States was acting as the world's policeman, motivated by the country's failure to win the right to stage the 2022 FIFA World Cup. The 72-year-old denies allegations he received a 10-million-dollar bribe from South Africa after it was chosen to host the 2010 World Cup. In Mr. Warner's article, he says to suggest the vote is corrupted compromises the integrity of the late Nelson Mandela who helped South Africa secure the tournament.””
国际足联前主席杰克•沃纳指责美国之所以指控足球高级官员以腐败罪,是因为美国未能赢得2022年世界杯的举办权。沃纳在自己拥有的报纸上撰文,称针对自己和另外13人的指控表明美国并不公正。艾德•托马斯报道。
“沃纳称美国扮演着世界警察的角色,因为未能赢得2022年FIFA世界杯举办权而进行指控。有指控称在南非被选为2010年世界杯举办国后给沃纳1000万美元的贿赂,对此,这位72岁的老人表示否认。沃纳在文章中表示,宣称其中存在腐败就有损已故总统曼德拉的人品,因为他曾帮助南非获得世界杯举办权。”
The remains of the first victims from the German Wings air disaster have been flown back to Germany. 150 people died in March when the co-pilot Andreas Lubitz crashed a passenger jet into the French Alps. 16 school children were among the 44 people whose remains were repatriated first. The families will have a chance to view the coffins inside a hangar at Dusseldorf airport. Gelene Rerlt, editor in chief of Bills Online in Berlin, says it's the first opportunity they've had to be near those who've lost. “Obviously, it will be very emotional because so far you know most of the families had a chance to go to the place where the plane crashed, but they had no chance to say goodbye in any way there, no chance to moan. At the coffin, it will be first time they will be actually close to the bodies of their loved ones. It will be definitely emotional and emotional moment for the families, but also I can say for the whole country.”
德国之翼空难中第一批遇难者的遗体已经被送回德国,3月份,副驾驶安德烈亚斯•卢比茨将客机坠入法国阿尔卑斯山,导致150人遇难。最初找到44具尸体,其中包括16名学龄儿童,他们的家属将有机会在杜塞尔多夫机场飞机库里一睹灵柩。柏林Bills Online总编称这是他们第一次得以有机会接近遇难者。
“显然这是个非常让人动容的时刻,因为现在大多数家属都有机会前往坠机地点,但他们已经没有机会说再见,没有机会悲叹了。在灵柩面前,他们将首次接近亲人的遗体,对于这些家人来说这无疑是个伤感的时刻,对于整个国家来说也是如此。”
The BBC has seen evidence that the British oil company Soco made payments to a soldier in the Democratic Republic of Congo as accused of using violence to intimidate opponents of an oil exploration in the national park. The company strongly rejects any suggestion that payments were connected with the alleged abuse. Maud Julien reports. “Cheques and receipts obtained by the campaign group Global Witness and seen by the BBC showed the company paid an army major called Burimba Feruzi. Several people say they were threatened by this major. One said that men following the officer's orders had tortured him stating that it was because he had opposed oil exploration. Soco said it had never denied funding the work of the DRC army. The British company says the payments were in no way improper and that it wasn't allowed to enter the area where it carried the exploratory tests without a military escort.”

“全球证人组织获得的支票和收据,以及BBC所见所闻的一切都表明,这家公司给一名名叫Burimba Feruzi的少校付了一笔钱。有几个人声称受到这名少校的威胁,其中一个说此人听从官方的命令毒打了自己,声称这是因为他反对石油开采。索科称从未给刚果民主共和国军队提供任何资金,这家英国公司称这笔钱没有什么不合适,称不允许在没有军方护送的情况下进入这个该公司进行试探性开采的地区。”

A riot police officer in the United States has resigned days after a video was posted online showing his treatment of a group of teenagers many of whom were black. Eric Casebolt was taken off duty after he was seen in the video pinning down a 15-year-old girl and drawing his gun following a disturbance in the Dallas suburb of McKinney. Hundreds of people marched through the area on Monday night demanding his dismissal.
