Turkey says more than 60,000 mainly Kurdish refugees from northern Syria have crossed the border since it was opened on Friday. The flow of refugees has been prompted by intense fighting between Islamic State militants and Kurdish forces around the town of Ayn al-Arab, known to the Kurds as Kobane. From Orfa on the Turkish border, here’s Mark Lowen. “The influx is astonishing and still continues. They fled the advance of Islamic State militants on the city of Kobane. Dozens of neighboring villages have been seized. And around 300 Kurdish fighters are said to have gone the other way crossing from Turkey into Syria to help resist the IS onslaught. Until recently, Turks and Kurds fought a civil war that killed 40,000 people. The fact that Turkey is now accepting tens of thousands of Kurdish refugees is a sign of how the rise of Islamic State is shifting allegiances in this region.”
土耳其称自周五开放边界以来,已有6万多库尔德难民从叙利亚北部越过边界。难民涌入是因为“伊斯兰国”武装分子和库尔德武装在艾因阿拉伯周围进行了激烈战斗,库尔德称这里为Kobane。马克•罗文在土耳其边界报道。
“难民涌入量很惊人,还将继续涌入。他们是在逃避‘伊斯兰国’武装分子在Kobane的挺进,周围十几个村庄已被占领,据悉有300多名库尔德武装分子从土耳其进入叙利亚,去帮助抵抗ISIS的进攻。到最近为止,土耳其人和库尔德人进行的内战导致4万人丧生。土耳其不接受这成千上万的库尔德难民,这一事实表明‘伊斯兰国’的崛起正在改变该地区的忠诚度。”

One of the candidates in Afghanistan’s disputed red Presidential election Abdulla Abdulla has said he now accept that his rival Ashraf Ghani should be president.

People in Sierra Leone have remained indoors for a second day as part of a 72-hour curfew or lockdown to try to stop the spread of the Ebola outbreak. The country’s emergency operation center received hundreds of calls on the first day about sick or dead people. Umaru Fofana is in Freetown. “Almost 900 emergency calls are put through to them to either pick up their bodies or sick people. The response for these calls is now being questioned. Only a few dozen people could be picked up and taken to very few facilities that exist as holding centers in the capital, there are only two treatment centers for Ebola in the whole country and they’re based in the east. Reports from one of those centers in Kenema say that the clinic is overflowing with patients being brought in across the country.”

“动员中心收到要求处理尸体和病人的近900次紧急电话,目前人们质疑对此的应对。只有十几个人能被带到首都目前很少的医疗中心,整个国家目前只有两个埃博拉治疗中心,而且都在东部。来自凯内马的报道称这些治疗中心人满为患,到处都是来自全国各地的患者。”

Britain and France have reached an agreement on how to manage the number of illegal immigrants arriving at the port of Calais. Under the deal, the UK will contribute 15 million euros over three years to help finance new security measures at the port. From Paris, here’s Hugh Schofield. “Pressure on Calais has grown in recent months with the arrival of hundreds of new migrants from Eritrea and Sudan. There’s been trouble at the port as crowds of migrants try to charge onto ferries and town authorities warned that the patient of local people is running short. The French have said along that the problems of Calais are also Britain’s responsibility and so they are pleased with this agreement under which the UK government pledges 12 million pounds over three years for new security infrastructure on the access road to the port and that the main lorry park.”
英国和法国就如何处理抵达加来港口的非法移民达成协议,根据协议,英国每三年将提供1500万欧元来帮助资助新的港口安全措施。休•斯科菲尔德在巴黎报道。
“最近数月,随着数百名厄立特里亚和苏丹难民的到来,加莱港口面临巨大压力。移民人群争着乘坐渡轮,这就出现了情况,市政府警告说当地人快没有耐心了。法国一直表示,加来的麻烦也是英国的责任,所以他们很高兴看到这份协议的达成,协议要求英国政府每三年提供1200万英镑,用于建设通往港口的新基础设施和新渡轮停靠场。”
