BBC在线收听下载:爱荷华州竞选核心应用程序出错

BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit.
The first stage of the race to choose a Democratic candidate for this year's US presidential election has resulted in chaos and anticlimax. An App designed to collate votes in the Iowa caucuses failed, and attempts by officials to phone the results through led to jammed phone lines. Chris Buckler is in Des Moines, Iowa. This technological failure is a disaster for the Democratic party, and the reality is they are acing criticism from within their ranks as well as from the Trump campaign, who said in a statement, the Democrats are stewing in a caucus mess of their own creation with the sloppiest train wreck in history. You can imagine that they're gonna have to try and got this issue sorted as quickly as possible, but there are suggestions that will not know the results for perhaps as much as 24 hours after they were originally doing.
在今年美国总统大选挑选民主党候选人的第一阶段，选举就出现了混乱并草草收场。一款用于整理爱荷华州党团会议投票结果的应用程序崩溃，官员们试图通过电话传递结果，结果导致电话线路堵塞。请听克里斯•巴克勒在爱荷华州得梅因的报道。这起技术故障是民主党的灾难，现在的情况是他们在民主党内部受到了批评，特朗普的选举团队也在一份声明中表示，民主党是自食其果，造成了政团会议投票历史上最大的灾难。可以想象得到，他们将不得不尽快解决这个问题，但有迹象表明他们可能在选举开始后24小时内都得到不到结果。

A court in South Africa has issued an arrest warrant for the former President Jacob Zuma after he failed to appear in court to face corruption charges.

Mr. Zuma's legal team submitted documents saying the client was ill and had been receiving medical treatment outside of South Africa since last month.

But the former president will only be arrested if he fails to appear in court on the 6th May for the start of his trial.

The British prime minister Boris Johnson has been strongly criticized by the former minister who had been in charge of preparing this year's main United Nations Climate Change Summit, also known as CDP 26, which Britain is to host. Claire O'Neill, who was sacked last week accused Mr. Johnson of a lack of real leadership on the issue. The prime minister has made incredibly warm statements about this over the years. He's also admitted to me he doesn't really understand it and he doesn't really get it. I think it's what he said, but others around him do. What is important now is that we get real and we get serious about the scale of this problem and the scale of the opportunity. We set out how we want this to be a net-zero COP with everybody in.
英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊受到了前部长的强烈批评，该前部长曾负责筹备今年的第二十六届联合国气候大会，由英国承办。上周被解雇的克莱尔•奥尼尔指责约翰逊在这个问题上缺乏真正的领导力。多年来，首相对此发表了令人难以置信的热情声明。他也向我承认，他不是很懂气候问题，他也不理解为什么这么做。我认为，虽然首相不懂，但是他身边的其他人懂。现在重要的是，我们要面对现实，认真对待这个问题的严重性和机会的重要性。我们希望联合国气候大会是一个零能耗的大会，每个人都参与进来。
