A donor conference for Syria, at which $9 billion of aid is being sought, opens in London today one day after UN-sponsored talks aimed at ending the Syrian civil war broke down. Britain has announced it would provide $1.75 billion to be spent in Syria and neighboring countries. James Robbins has the details.
为叙利亚举行的捐赠国会议今天在伦敦召开,希望能筹资90亿美元,就在一天前联合国促成的意在结束叙利亚内战的会谈以失败告终。英国宣布将提供17.5亿美元用于叙利亚和邻国。詹姆斯•鲁宾斯报道。

The need to raise billions of pounds for Syrians forced to flee their homes could hardly be more acute. But the planning for many years to come, is a sign that few expect any early end to a war about to enter its 6th year. David Cameron says he's setting a good example to dozens of other countries which will be urged to pledge money throughout a day long conference in Westminster, much will be spent on long term rehousing, schooling and employment for refugees who remain in neighbouring countries.
“为流离失所叙利亚人筹资数百亿英镑的任务非常迫切,但这个为未来几年筹措的计划表明,这场即将进入第六年的战争不可能很快结束。戴维•卡梅伦称他准备为其他几十个国家树立榜样,在威斯敏斯特举行的为期一天的会议上,他敦促这些国家提供资金,其中大部分将用于长期的房屋重建、学校和仍在邻国的难民就业项目。”

Julian Assange has not been charged with any offence, but he has been sought for questionning in Sweden in relation to sextual assault allegations made against him by two women. He has denied any wrongdoing, and has been living at the Ecuadorian embassy since June, 2012 after being granted asylum by its government. He claims the allegations are part of an attempt to have him extradicted to the US over the leaking on the Internet of sensitive diplomatic cables. He has said in a Twitt that if he loses the case against the UK and Sweden, he will leave the embassy at 12 noon on Friday, and hand himself over to the British police. Jane Francis Kelly.
朱利安•阿桑奇没有被控以任何罪名,但他因涉嫌性侵两名妇女被瑞典追捕并要求质问,他否认有违法行为,自2012年6月被厄瓜多尔政府授予避难资格后一直住在厄瓜多尔使馆。他声称指控是为了将他引渡到美国,原因是他在互联网上泄露了敏感的外交机密。他在推文上说如果他输掉与英国和瑞典有关的案子,那么他将在周五中午12点离开使馆并向英国警方自首。简•弗朗西斯•凯里报道。
