In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Barack Obama has said the failure to tackle gun control has been the greatest frustration of his presidency. Mr. Obama said terrorist had killed fewer than a hundred Americans since the 911 attacks, but the number of Americans killed by gun violence in that time was in the tens of thousands. “The United States of America is the one advanced nation on earth, in which we do not have sufficient common sense gun safety laws even in the face of repeated mass killings.” President Obama pushed for tighter restrictions after the Sandy Hook school killings in 2012, but a bill to ban sold-rifles failed.
在接受BBC的独家专访中，巴拉克•奥巴马总统称，未能解决枪控问题是他总统任期内的最大挫折。奥巴马说，自911事件以来，恐怖分子杀死了不到100名美国人，但在此期间死于枪支暴力的美国人却有成千上万。
“美国是地球上对枪支安全没有足够常识的发达国家，即使是面临不断的大规模杀戮也是如此。”
2012年桑迪胡克小学枪击案后奥巴马总统要求实施更严格的枪支限制措施，但该禁止步枪的法案未能通过。

US officials say Turkey has agreed to allow American military planes to use the Turkish air base at Incirlik in the campaign against Islamic state militants in Iraq and Syria. Jenner Bryon sent this repot from Washington. “The deal comes as Turkey's involvement in the Syrian crisis has deepened in recent days. A suicide bomber with suspected ties to Islamic state killed 32 people in the border town of Suruc. Allowing the US to use the Incirlik base would broaden the reach of area assaults on extremist group and help Turkey protect its 800 kilometer boarder with Syria.”
美国官方称土耳其同意美国军用飞机使用在英基里克的土耳其空军基地来打击伊拉克和叙利亚的伊斯兰国武装分子。记者在华盛顿报道。
“该协议达成之时，土耳其最近几天越来越深地涉入叙利亚的这场危机中，一名涉嫌与伊斯兰国有关联的自杀式爆炸者在边境城镇Source杀死了32人。而允许美国使用英基里克基地可以扩大对该极端组织的空袭范围，帮助土耳其保护与叙利亚相邻的800公里的边界。”

Nigeria has completed its first year without a single case of polio and was soon being removed from the list of countries where the disease is endemic. Julian Vetherdron reports. “Three years ago, Nigeria seemed to be losing its battle against polio. More than half of all over world's cases were recorded in the country, the legacy of the decision by some northern states the ban vaccines in 2003. The jabs were claimed to spread sterility and HIV aids. But the government has warned over traditional leaders, some manage to step up its campaign despite the insecurity in the north of the country. Its success has raised hopes of polio could soon become just the second human infectious disease after smallpox to be eradicated.”

Here's Jeff Coglin. “You and I probably won't be travelling anyway to this planet, you know, without some unexpected breakthrough, but you know our children's children’s children may.
