The German magazine Der Spiegel has published new allegations about American spy on Chancellor Angela Merkel. Setting secret documents, the magazine says her phone may have been tapped for more than a decade and was still on a national security agency surveillance list weeks before President Obama’s visit in June. Damien McGuinness is in Berlin.
德国杂志《明镜周刊》发表文章称美国窃听德国总理安吉拉•默克尔。该杂志称默克尔的手机可能已被窃听超过10年,在6月份总统奥巴马访问的数周前还在国家安全局监控名单之下。Damien McGuinness在柏林报道。

According to Der Spiegel magazine, American agents have been bugging German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s mobile phone since 2002 and listening in on her phone conversations until as recently as this summer just weeks before President Obama’s visit to Germany. The phone tapping was allegedly carried out from the US embassy in Berlin. President Obama apologized the Chancellor on Wednesday saying he knew nothing about the phone tapping, reports the magazine, siting a source in Mrs. Merkel’s office.

Armed with placards thanking Edward Snowden for his leaks in the past few months, others carrying placards say no to the national security agency in their spying. There are probably well over 1,000 people here all protesting over the mass surveillance activities here in the US. Former whistleblowers have spoken to the crowds as have politicians. One whistleblower read out a statement from Edward Snowden who criticized the government once again for its pervasive spying. People here are angry that privacies being compromise saying it’s costing the US billions and not having much effect.

Results from elections in the Czech Republic suggest the polls will not resolve months of political instability. With almost all votes counted, the Social Democrats have emerged as the frontrunners but do not have a large enough majority to form a government. Rob Cameron is in Prague.
捷克共和国的选举结果表明,这场投票并未解决数月来的政治动荡。目前全部选票已经清点完,社会民主党遥遥领先,但并不足以形成绝对多数以组建政府。罗伯•卡梅隆在布拉格报道。

After seven years in opposition, the Social Democrats were counting on a resounding victory instead this result just over 20% could spell trouble for them and more instability for the Czech Republic. The real winner of this election is Andrej Babis, a food and fertilizer billionaire whose ANO party claims second place. He could now be the kingmaker now as the Social Democrats are forced to revise their plans. The parties of the former central right coalition did poorly after years of corruption scandals that have left Czech’s disillusioned and even disgusted with their politicians.
社会民主党作为反对派已经7年,该党一直向能获得全胜,但结果显示支持率仅为20%,这对他们来说就有麻烦了,对捷克共和国来说也意味着不稳定。选举的真正赢家是食品和肥料亿万富翁Andrej Babis,他所属的ANO党位居第二。他现在成了能当选的关键人物,而社会民主党被迫修改其计划。经过几年的腐败丑闻,前中间右派联盟的党派们表现不佳,这些丑闻使得捷克人心灰意冷,甚至对他们的政客感到厌烦。
