President Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria has declared a state of emergency in three northeastern states in response to increased attacks by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. In a national television address, Mr. Jonathan said the Nigerian army would take over security in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states whilst state politicians would remain in their posts.

由于伊斯兰好战组织“博科圣地”(Boko Haram)不断加强袭击,尼日利亚总统古德勒克·乔纳森(Goodluck Jonathan)宣布东北部三个州进入紧急状态。在全国电视讲话中,乔纳森表示,尼日利亚军队将接管博尔诺州(Borno),约贝州(Yobe)和阿达马瓦州(Adamawa)的安全局势,而州政府政客仍将坚守职位。

"The activities of the insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible causing fear among our citizens and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country, especially in North. We have taken robust steps to unravel and address the root causes of these crises, but it would appear that there is a systematic effort by insurgents and terrorists to destabilize the Nigerian states and test our collective resolve."

“反叛分子和恐怖分子的活动不断在公民中造成恐惧,国家部分地区,尤其是北方的法律和秩序几近瓦解。我们已经采取了强硬措施来平息和解决这些危机的根源,但是反叛分子和恐怖分子做出了有系统的努力,试图颠覆尼日利亚政权,挑战我们的集体决心。”

A BBC correspondent in Nigeria says it's the first time that President Jonathan has admitted the state is not in control of the whole country.

BBC驻尼日利亚一名通讯员表示,这是乔纳森总统首次承认政府已经难以完全控制整个国家。

The European Court of Human Rights has told Switzerland that it must clarify its laws on assisted suicide. The ruling comes after an 82-year-old Swiss woman who was refused to assisted suicide took a case to the court. Imogen Foulkes has more.

欧洲人权法院告知瑞士必须阐明协助自杀方面的法律。该裁决的出炉是由于一名被拒绝协助自杀的82岁瑞士女性将案件递交法院。Imogen Foulkes报道更详细内容。

Alda Gross is neither terminally nor chronically ill, but she is 82 and apparently wants to end her life before she becomes incapacitated. The Swiss assisted suicide organization EXIT refused her. The Swiss Supreme Court ruled against her. But now the European Court of Human Rights has found in her favour. Significantly, the court has not ruled that Mrs. Gross has the right to assisted suicide but that she has the right to know exactly what she can do under Swiss law and the confusion over the right to die could cause her and other Swiss citizens mental anguish.

Alda Gross没有慢性病或不治之症,但是她已经82岁高龄,希望在行动不便之前结束生命。瑞士协助自杀组织EXIT拒绝了她。瑞士最高法院判决Alda Gross败诉。但是现在,欧洲人权法院对她表示支持。比较显著的一点是,法院没有裁决Alda Gross有权获得协助自杀,而是有权知晓根据瑞士法律她可以怎么做,以及自杀对她和其他瑞士公民造成的精神痛苦。

And researchers said Cambridge University have begun the details study to understand the working of the teenage brain. By scanning the brains of 300 people between the ages of 14 and 24, they hope to identify how the wiring that controls impulsive and emotional behaviour changes as they get older. The findings may also explain why so many teenagers are moody.
