BBC在线收听下载:加州数百万人面临断电

BBC News. Hello, I'm Jerry Smit.
Millions of Californians face having their power cut as the emergency services continue to battle two rapidly spreading wildfires in the US state. The local power company Pacific Gas and Electric says it intends to cut electricity supplies to about two million people after one of its transmission towers developed a fault near one of the fires. Clary Gallegos and her family were forced to flee their home in Santa Clarita, north of Los Angeles. Within like ten minutes, we started to see the fire and the smoke getting darker by our house. And we started packing everything cause we saw our neighbors doing it as well. And then that's when our brothers started shouting out to me to get in the car and we got the dogs in the car. And the fire was literally on our backyard.
在美国加州，数百万人面临着断电的危险，而紧急救援机构仍在努力扑灭两场迅速蔓延的山火。当地电力公司太平洋燃气电力公司表示，由于其在一处火灾附近的输电塔发生故障，该公司打算切断200万人的电力供应。克拉里•加列戈斯和她的家人被迫逃离他们在洛杉矶北部圣克拉利塔的家。大约十分钟后，我们开始看到我们房子附近的火势增强，烟雾也变得更浓我们开始将能拿走的东西打包，因为我们看到我们的邻居也在这么做。就在那时，我的兄弟们开始叫我上车，我们也把狗子弄上了车。之后，大火就蔓延到我们的后院了。

A document leaked to the Financial Times newspaper in London suggests that the British government is prepared to erode workers' rights and environmental standards after it leaves the European Union. EU officials are finalizing how long an extension they will grant Britain beyond the current departure date in six days. Here's our Europe regional editor Mike Saunders. The British Prime Minister Boris Johnson insisted this week that Britain is committed to the highest possible standards for workers and the environment when it leaves the EU. That pledge helped persuade nineteen opposition Labor Party MPs to back his Brexit deal in principle. But the draft document prepared at the Department for Exiting the EU suggests the level playing field rules will be open to interpretation and Britain's will be different to the EU's. Labor's Jenny Chapman said the leak confirmed their worst fears about a deregulated economy. A government minister said it would be completely mad to dilute workers' rights.
一份泄露给伦敦《金融时报》的文件显示，英国政府准备在离开欧盟后削弱工人权利和环境标准。欧盟官员正在最后确定他们将给英国多长的延期时间，现在距离之前的脱欧最后期限还有六天的时间。以下是本台欧洲地区编辑迈克•桑德斯的报道。英国首相鲍里斯•约翰逊本周坚称，英国脱欧后将致力于为工人和环境制定尽可能高的标准。这一承诺帮助说服了19名反对党工党议员从原则上支持他的协议。但英国脱欧部起草的文件草案表明，公平竞争的规则将有不同的解释，英国的规则将与欧盟的不同。工党的珍妮•查普曼说，这次泄密证实了他们对于脱欧后经济最坏的担心。一位政府部长说，稀释工人的权利是完全疯了。

Iraqi security forces are patrolling the streets in four southern provinces to enforce a curfew following a day of deadly protests on Friday. At least forty people were killed and two thousand were injured. The protests were against corruption, a lack of jobs and economic hardship. Our correspondent Aleem Maqbool is in the Iraqi city of Erbil. The Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi has said he is not going to step down. He said that would cause chaos. He's talked about a limited sort of government reshuffle next week. He's talked about some reforms, but his problem is that the issue for many of these demonstrators is not necessarily him personally or his party, but the system under which there living here in Iraq. They'd have so many promises of course, after Saddam Hussein was toppled then two years ago after the victory that was declared against the Islamic State group that they are still not seeing their conditions improve.
伊拉克安全部队正在南部四个省的街道上巡逻，实施宵禁，因为周五爆发了造成人员伤亡的抗议活动，至少导致40人死亡，2000人受伤。抗议活动针对的是腐败、失业和经济困难等问题。以下是亚廉•麦克白在伊拉克埃尔比勒市的报道。总理阿卜杜尔•马赫迪称他不会下台。他说这会引起混乱。他谈到了下周政府的有限重组。他谈到了一些改革，但他的问题是，对许多示威者来说，问题不一定是他个人或他的政党，而是伊拉克的整个体制。当然，在萨达姆•侯赛因被推翻后，他们给了太多的承诺，而两年前，打击伊斯兰国的胜利宣告之后，他们的生活条件仍未得到改善。
