The Syrian president Bashar al-Assad says Russia's entry into the war in his country has changed the balance on the ground. In an interview with Czech television, Mr. Assad said a year of western air strikes had failed to stop the advanced Islamic State militants. But since the Russian intervention, IS and other Jihadi groups have begun to shrink. When asked about shooting down of a Russian plane by Turkey last week, he said it was due to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's failure. "I think it has shown the real intention of Erdogan who, let's say, lost his nerve just because the Russian intervention has changed the balance on the ground. So, the failure of Erdogan in Syria, the failure of his terrorist groups, means his political demise." Turkey says Mr. Assad cannot be part of any long term solution in Syria.
叙利亚总统阿萨德表示，俄罗斯加入叙利亚战争改变了战场的平衡。接受捷克电视台采访时，阿萨德表示，西方国家为期一年的空袭未能阻止不断推进的伊斯兰国激进分子。但是自俄罗斯介入后，IS和其他圣战组织开始收缩战线。被问到上周俄罗斯一架飞机被土耳其击落事件时，他表示，这是由于埃尔多安总统的失败。“我认为这表明了埃尔多安的真实意图。由于俄罗斯的介入改变了战场的平衡，埃尔多安胆怯了。所以，埃尔多安在叙利亚的失败，他的恐怖组织的失败意味着他的政治消亡。”土耳其表示，阿萨德不能是叙利亚任何长期解决方案的一部分。

The US Defense Secretary Ash Carter says American special forces will be deployed to Iraq to help fight Islamic State militants in both Iraq and Syria. He said he wanted the militants to wonder who might come in through the window at night. "These special operators will over time be able to conduct raids, free hostages, gather intelligence and capture ISIL leaders. This force will also be in a position to conduct unilateral operations in Syria. That creates a virtuous cycle, a better intelligence which generates more targets, more raids, more momentum."
美国国防部长艾什•卡特(Ash Carter)表示将向伊拉克派遣特种部队，帮助打击伊拉克和叙利亚的伊斯兰国激进分子。他表示，他希望激进分子能够考虑夜晚谁会突袭他们。“这些特种兵将会发动突袭，解救人质，收集情报，抓捕ISIL头目。这支部队将在叙利亚进行单方面行动。这形成了良性循环，更完善的情报会带来更多目标，更多突袭，更强劲的势头。”

The 9-hour siege, the latest in a series of Jihadi attacks in the country, ended when Malian special forces stormed the building.

In response it says non-essential embassy staff and some family members can leave the country if they want."
“持枪分子袭击了受外国人欢迎的奢华酒店Radisson Blu，造成22人死亡。马里特种兵突袭了酒店，结束了9小时的围困，这是马里最新一起圣战分子袭击。美国国务院表示，因为可能发生更多袭击，当地的安全局势仍然不稳定。作为回应，美国国务院表示，一些非必要的大使馆工作人员及其家人可以离开马里。”

"They are going to direct into education, into equality. We don't know precisely where that money is gonna go initially. What is particularly interesting is that he seems to be separating this endeavor from Facebook. Some of his previous initiatives have been about connecting the Internet and improving perhaps Facebook's user base. There seems to be a very clear gap here between Mark Zuckerberg's personal desire to spend money on these things and what Facebook, the business, will be doing in charitable ways."
