The Americans have told the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that they are ready to intensify and increase their military support. But they are obviously reluctant to get drawn back into the turmoil and also to give unequivocal backing to one side in what clearly has some of the dimensions of a civil war. It's becoming clearer that what's happening on the ground is not simply an assault by foreign Jihadist. It has a strong element of uprising by several strands of Sunni society. Despite the fact that the militants of ISIS - Islamic State in Iraq and in Levant has stolen the limelight. That's why large sways of mainly Sunni territory have fallen to the rebels with little resistance. The Shiites have been enrolled preparing if necessary defend the areas where they predominate in Baghdad and the south. While the Kurds have quietly realized a long-standing ambition by moving into positions in oil-rich Kirkuk province in the north abandoned by the Iraqi army.

美国人已经告诉伊拉克总理努里·马利基，他们将强化并增加对伊拉克的军事支持。但是很明显他们不愿重新卷入这场战争，由于某些国土已经陷入内战，他们也不想明确支持哪一方。局势已经越来越清晰，这片地区的局势已经不仅仅是遭遇外国圣战分子的攻击，而是几股逊尼派势力的联合起义。而且伊拉克与黎凡特伊斯兰国的激进分子引来了关注，这也是大面积逊尼派土地没有遇到丝毫抵抗就落入叛军手中的原因。什叶派也正在招募士兵，如果必要的话，到时候用来保卫他们所统治的巴格达和南方领土。而库尔德人已经实现了长期以来的野心，悄悄进入了北方伊拉克军队放弃的石油丰富的基尔库克省据点。

Thailand's military leader has set out ambitious plans to change the country's political, economic and social systems. General Prayuth Chan-ocha said he would appoint an interim government no later than September but has ruled out an election for at least a year. The Thai army seized power in May after months of street protests and the corruption scandal. Here is Jonathan Head.

泰国军方领导人制定了雄心勃勃的计划，来改革国家的政治，经济和社会体系。Prayuth Chan-ocha将军表示，他最迟将于9月之前委任临时政府，但是排除了一年之内进行选举的可能性。经过几个月的街头抗议和闹得沸沸扬扬的贪腐丑闻之后，泰国军队于5月份夺取了政权。Jonathan Head为您报道。

At his first budget meeting, General Prayuth said his team would try to cap living cost, rethink farming subsidies, overhaul the many inefficient state industries and reform the education system and the police. Exactly how a ruling council made up mainly of career military men will achieve these is not yet clear. What is clear from this meeting is that despite promises from General Prayuth of greater financial responsibility, he is willing to spend generously and incur a large budget deficit to stimulate a depressed economy.

在他的首次预算会议中，Prayuth Chan-ocha将军表示，他的领导集体将限定生活成本，重新考虑农业补助，彻底检查无效的国有企业，改革教育体系和警察体系。主要由职业军人组成的执政委员会将要如何实现这些目标还不清楚。但是这次会议比较明确的是，尽管巴育将军承诺将会对财政方面更加负责，他却表示想扩大财政支出，不惜用增加预算赤字来刺激国内低迷经济。

The Jamaican government has announced plans to radically reform the island's drug laws. Possession of marijuana would be allowed for religious, scientific or medical purposes, otherwise it would be treated as a petty rather than a criminal offense. The justice prime minister said the proposals were a more enlightened approach to Jamaica's drug problems. The changes are seen as a victory for the island's Rastafarians community who believe that smoking marijuana is a sacrament.

20,000 elephants were illegally killed in Africa last year, the report shows. That figure far exceeds the growth rate of the elephants population, in some regions of Africa. Elephants are threatened with extinction. The report also documents a clear increase in the number of large seizures amounts of over 500 kilograms of ivory in Africa. For the first time, there were more such seizures in Africa than in Asia, an indication, the report suggests, of the involvement of more transnational organized crime in illegal ivory trade.

报告中显示，去年非洲共有20,000头大象被非法捕杀。该数字远远超过非洲一些地区大象的出生率。大象已经濒临灭绝。该报告还记录在非洲地区缴获的象牙数量出现明显增加，已经远远超过500千克。这是非洲缴获象牙的数量首次超过亚洲。该报告也表明越来越多的跨国犯罪团伙参与到非法象牙贸易中来。
