BBC在线收听下载:世界各地举行一战百年纪念活动

I'm Stuart Mackintosh with the BBC News, hello.

The number of people killed in northern California in the state's most destructive wildfire on record has risen to 23 after recovery teams discovered fourteen more bodies in the burned-out remains of the town of Paradise. Most of the houses there have been destroyed. Jeremy Chris was evacuated from the nearby town of Chico. We were actually evacuated from our home, rather frightening situation to have Chico Police Department pound on your door and say only three words, which was get out now. And so all I really grabbed was , our family photo albums and I threw those in my car and I called a family friend. And I asked her, I said I'm being evacuated. I have to run right now. And she said come here right now.

Australia and New Zealand have launched today of global commemorations to mark the centenary of the end of the First World War. In all more than 80,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers were killed, many of them in the abortive Gallipoli Campaign. The main ceremony in Europe on Sunday will be held at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris attended by world leaders, including President Trump and Putin. Lucy Williamson reports from the French capital. High school children will read international testimony from 1918 before Mr. Macron lights the flame of remembrance at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier beneath the monument's arch and leads a minute's silence. The French leader has been keen to broaden the scope of this year's commemorations beyond remembrance of the war to include a focus on the future piece of the continent. This afternoon, he and Mrs. Merkel will open the first Paris Peace Forum designed to promote international cooperation at a time when it's perceived to be under threat.

Opposition parties in Poland are boycotting a march later today, marking the centenary of the country's reemergence at the end of World War I. From Warsaw here's Adam Easton. President Duda will lead the march alongside veterans in a military parade. He's invited poles of all political views to attend as long as they only bring a red and white Polish flag. He may not get his wish. Nationalist and far-right groups which organize their own large annual Independence Day march have agreed this year to join the official parade, but they say they will bring their political banners, flares and fire crackers. A joint march is a rather uneasy last-minute compromise to try to avoid the controversy caused last year by marches carrying racist banners and chanting anti-semitic slogans. This is the world news from the BBC.
