Jonathan Izard为您播报BBC新闻。

A federal judge in the United States has ruled that 3 former bodyguards from the American security firm, Blackwater, be imprisoned. Nicholas Slatten was sentenced to life in prison for murder. Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty and Paul Sloug were given 30 years each for manslaughter. The men, all former members of the U.S. Military, were found guilty last October of the killings of 14 Iraqis in Baghdad in 2007. 3 more people were found to have been lawfully killed. The judge rejected the appeals for leniency. David Willis looks back at the story.

美国联邦法院对三名美国黑水保安公司前雇员判处监禁。Nicholas Slatten因谋杀被判终身监禁。Dustin Heard, Evan Liberty和Paul Sloug因过失杀人罪被判30年监禁。这些人都曾经是美国军事人员，2007年10月份因在巴格达杀害14名伊拉克人被判刑。有三人以上被合法杀害。法院驳回了争取宽大处理的上诉。下面是本台记者发回的报道。

“Founded by former Navy SEAL and Republican Party donor, Eric Prince, the company was paid billions of dollars to protect American diplomats at the height of the Iraq War. But of the many shootouts in which Blackwater staff were involved, none compares to the massacre that occurred on the 16th of September 2007. A Blackwater team, escorting a State Department convoy, opened fire as it approached the Nisoor Square. By the time the convoy had moved on, a total of 17 people were dead.”

由前海军海豹突击队和共和党自助者Eric Prince创建的黑水保安公司受雇保护美国在伊拉克战争中的高级外交官。雇金高达数十亿美元。但是黑水公司雇员卷入了多次枪战当中。再没有屠杀事件能和2007年9月16号发生的事件相对比。一支黑水雇佣军队伍为了给美国国务院车队开路朝尼苏尔涌来的人群开枪。车队离开之后一共有17人死亡。

The United States has objected to Moscow lifting a ban on delivering an advanced Russian anti-missile system to Iran. The Russian Foreign Minister, Sergei Lavrov, said the 2010 embargo was voluntary and no longer needed following last month's international framework agreement on Iran's nuclear program. But Washington considers the embargo to be part of U.N. sanctions that shouldn't be lifted unless a final deal is reached by the end of June. Josh Earnest is a White House spokesman.

美国反对莫斯科解除对伊朗方面输送反导弹系统禁令。俄罗斯外交部长Sergei Lavrov说2010年禁运政策是自愿实施的，并且在上个月达成伊朗核协议框架之后已经没有必要再实施此政策。但是华盛顿方面认为禁运政策是属于联合国制裁的一部分，不应该被解除。如果解除也是等到6月底达成最终协议之后才能解除。下面是白宫发言人厄内斯特否的讲话。

“The United States has previously made no oral objections to that sale. I'm not in a position to obviously speculate on the decision-making process that Russia is engaged in right now. But I do think it's safe to say that Russia understands that the United States certainly takes very seriously the safety and security of our allies in the region.”

美国之前没有做出口头反对。我没有在推测俄罗斯现在做出决策的过程，但是我相信，俄罗斯能够理解美国非常认真对待安全问题，也非常认真对待该地区同盟的安全问题的做法。

The BBC has been told that some of the 276 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted a year ago by Boko Haram Islamist militants have been seen alive in the past month. A resident of the northeastern town of Gwoza, who asked not to be identified, said she saw them 3 weeks ago as they left a large house close to her home.

And they said a plane had dropped a bomb on them, and some of the sisters were injured and were being taken to the hospital.”Boko Haram was recently forced out of Gwoza by the Nigerian military. Events are being held in Nigeria to mark the first anniversary of the schoolgirls' abduction.

“Eduardo Galeano was one of Latin America's most prominent writers and a leading voice of the left. His 1971 essay, Open Veins of Latin America, became a classic of leftist political literature in the region.

The book became a best-seller a second time after the former Venezuelan leader, Hugo Chavez, presented a copy to President Barack Obama in 2009.”
