BBC在线收听下载:卢旺达大量政治犯得到赦免

Hello, I'm Jonathan Izard. The governor of the US state of North Carolina Roy Cooper has warned that residents can't consider themselves safe yet as the risk to life from floods in the wake of this tropical storm Florence could be greater than when it first made landfall. Colleen Roberts is public information officer for the city of New Bern which suffered massive flooding. She echoed Mr. Cooper's fears. We had a high tide here about three hours ago, so we saw that storm surge increase a little bit and that's exactly the sort of thing that the North Carolina governor is talking about. Also additional flooded communities upstream, that water over the next week or so will flow down into the Neuse and we will likely see our river crest with additional possibly dangerous storm surge.
北卡罗莱纳州州长罗伊·库珀警告称，民众不认为自己已安全，热带飓风“佛伦伦萨”过后的洪水要比飓风刚登陆时的威胁更大。柯琳·罗伯特是新伯尼市的一名公共信息官员，该市遭到了大规模洪水袭击，她再次提到了库珀先生的担忧。三个小时前，这里水势上涨，我们看到风暴潮又增强了一些，这也正是北卡罗莱纳州长所担心的。上游社区也遭到洪水侵袭，在未来一周左右时间里，洪水将流入纽斯河，在强风暴潮的作用下洪水或将涨到最高点。

The government in the Philippines says some fourteen people have been killed in a massive storm which brought destruction to the north of the country. It's the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines this year. Details of the destruction are still coming in. This report from Jonathan Head. The authorities are reporting extensive damage in a number of towns, but the fate of those in the direct path of the storm is still not clear as communications have been cut and many roads are blocked. The storm was both powerful and very wide. Heavy rain fell on much of the northern Philippines, causing some rivers to burst their banks and a number of landslides. We saw two hundred people who'd taken shelter in one school being reevacuated because a dike holding back a swollen river was about to burst.

Tens of thousands of Ethiopians have welcomed back another former rebel group, the Oromo Liberation Front in the latest response to a wave of political reforms in the country.

Rwanda has freed the jailed opposition leader Victoire Ingabire after she was pardoned by President Paul Kagame. Mrs. Ingabire who was serving a fifteen-year term on terrorism charges was released along with the singer Kizito Mihigo who was jailed in 2015 for plotting to kill Mr. Kagame. The pair were among 2000 prisoners granted a pardon and Mrs. Ingabire called for more similar releases. I would like to ask him, if it is possible, to release also other political prison. Because there is a hope that there is a, the opening of political space. Government officials downplay the political significance of the release.
