Opposition calls on president to end Ukraine's crisis
反对派呼吁居民终止乌克兰危机
With smoke rising across Kiev's sky, protests are burning into the night. After clashing with police all day, demonstrators set fire to barricades and marched to Independence Square. That's where boxer-turned-politician Vitaly Klitschko told thousands he'd do "whatever it takes" to stop the bloodshed.
基辅天空中浓烟滚滚，抗议者们纵火至夜间。与警方发生了一整天的冲突之后，示威者们纵火焚烧了路障，向独立广场行进。拳击手出身的政客克里斯克(Vitaly Klitschko)告诉数千名听众，他将“不惜一切代价”终止流血事件。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) UKRAINIAN OPPOSITION LEADER, VITALY KLITSCHKO, SAYING: "I will do whatever it takes to avoid bloodshed and to find the resolution of this problem. Once again, I call on the President; I know that at these very seconds he is watching this live transmission. I know that you, Mr. President, have the authority to solve this problem. Snap elections will change the situation without bloodshed. And we will do everything to achieve that. Listen to the people, do not ignore them."
乌克兰反对派领袖克里斯克(Vitaly Klitschko)：“我将采取一切措施避免流血事件，寻找这个问题的解决方案。我再次向总统提出请求。我知道此时此刻他正在观看实况转播。我知道，总统先生，你有权利解决这个问题。临时选举将会在不流血的情况下改变形势。我们将会采取一切措施来达到这个目标。倾听民意，不要忽视他们。”
Three people have died in the ongoing chaos -- two from gunshot wounds. Crisis talks with President Viktor Yanukovich on Wednesday failed to meet protesters' demands.
三人在持续的混乱中遇难，其中两人受枪伤。周三与总统亚努科维奇进行的危机会谈未能满足抗议者们的要求。
Panama canal crisis enters crucial stage
巴拿马运河危机进入关键阶段
The deal deadline has been pushed back until the end of the month. But the threat to stop building an extension to the Panama Canal hasn't gone away. Talks between the Canal Authority and the consortium carrying out the work are taking place. They're trying to reach a new financing agreement after the builders - led by the Spanish firm Sacyr - demanded an extra $1.6 billion for unforeseen costs. Both sides have been playing tough but the Canal administrator says there is hope.
协议最后期限已被推迟至本月末。但是巴拿马运河扩建工程停工的威胁并未解除。运河当局和施工队正在进行会谈。工程承包方西班牙萨西尔集团提出增加16亿美元的资金用于无法预料的费用，双方努力达成新的资金协议。双方都立场坚定，但是运河管理人员称希望还是有的。
(SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) CANAL ADMINISTRATOR JORGE QUIJANO, SAYING: "There's a proposal on the table which the parties have put forward, which might have possibilities. But we are still discussing parts ourselves, separately and jointly."
运河管理人员JORGE QUIJANO：“双方已经提出一份议案，有可能达成一致。但是我们仍在讨论其中的部分内容，无论是独立的还是整体的。”
The canal is one of the world's most important shipping routes. And the construction project will double its capacity. Any delay to its completion will be a blow to companies eager to move larger ships through the waterway. Producers of liquefied natural gas exporting from the U.S. Gulf Coast to Asia are particularly keen to use it. But the project was due to cost $5.25 billion - the bill could now come closer to $7 billion. The Canal authority says it'll take over the work if the current builders down tools. But last week it turned down an EU offer to mediate - the attempted intervention perhaps a reflection of how important this project is to global trade.
巴拿马运河是世界上最重要的航运通道之一。扩建工程将使其运能加倍。延迟完工将对那些迫切希望更大船只在运河通行的公司受到打击。从美国海湾地区向亚洲出口液化天然气的生产商尤其迫切地希望使用运河。但是这项工程原本预期耗费52.5亿美元，而现在账单已接近70亿美元。运河当局表示，如果目前的承包商停工，他们将接管工作。但是上周，欧盟提出调停却遭遇当局的拒绝。欧盟的试图干预或许反映了这项工程对全球贸易活动的重要性。
