In an emotional speech at the White House, president Obama has detailed his plans to tighten gun controls. He introduced the measures including background checks by executive order, sidestepping congressional opposition. Jon Sopel reports.
奥巴马总统在白宫发表声情并茂的演讲，他陈述了自己准备加强枪控的计划，他准备实施的措施包括，绕过国会发布行政令，从而实行背景检查等措施。乔恩•索蓓尔报道。

"His nickname is No-Drama Obama but not today, not on the issue of gun control. As frustration, impatience and anger over the failure to act turn to roar emotion,as he spoke about the young children who died at the New Town school shooting. 'First graders, and for every family who never imagine their loved one will be taken from our lives by a bullet from a gun. Every time I think about those kids, they get me mad.' "
“他的诨名是“淡定奥巴马”，但在枪控问题上并非如此。在谈到纽敦镇枪击案中死亡的孩子时，对不作为的挫折感、不耐烦和愤怒让他满腔愤慨。‘一年级学生，那些从未想过自己的亲人会死于枪支的家人们，每次我想到这些孩子们，我都会很痛心。’

The proposals from the president are relatively modest. No class of weapons is being banned. It's about tightening background checks. The National Rifle Association said it would fight president Obama's measures. The gun lobby group said the proposals will not have prevented any of the mass killings that the president referred to in his speech. The current Lieutenant Governor of Texas Dan Patrick said the changes didn't amount to much.
总统提供的建议相对较温和，并不是要禁止武器，而是要加强背景调查。全国步枪协会称将反对奥巴马总统的提议，该枪支游说组织声称这些提议无法阻止总统演讲中提到的大规模枪击案。德克萨斯州现任副州长丹•帕特里克说这些改变的意义不是很大。

It's political posturing which will have no impact on reducing crime and it will probably not stand up to a challenge in the courts. And lastly I believe Ted Cruz or any other Republicans who becomes president will repeal those orders.
这只是政治姿态，对减少犯罪没有多大影响，可能根本应付不了法庭上的反驳，最后我相信泰德•克鲁斯或任何成为总统的共和党人都会废除这些命令。

Eyewitnesses report chaotic scenes with dozens of crying women sworn at and attacked by gangs of aggressive drunk men. One eyewitness says there were too few police officers for situation that was clearly out of control. The attackers are described as seemingly of North African appearances. Anti-migrant campaigners say this proves Germany is letting in too many refugees but officials say there is no evidence that the men were asylum-seekers.

Reports from Saudi Arabia say armed men have set fire to a bus which was transporting workers in the country's eastern province. According to the state media, there were no injuries. The attack came at a time of tension in the ares following Saudi Arabia's execution of a dissident Shiite Muslim cleric Nimr al-Nimr accused of involvement in terrorism.
