Putin to Snowden: "We do not allow" mass surveillance
普京称不允许大规模监听
Russian President Vladimir Putin says his country does not carry out mass indiscriminate surveillance. In his live question and answer telethon address, Putin received a question from none other than former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. Snowden,who revealed last year that the U.S. government was collecting private communications from its citizens through the National Security Agency, is in Russia under temporary asylum.
俄罗斯总统普京表示,他的国家不会进行大规模无节制的监听 。在现场电话提问时,普京回答了前美国国安局雇员斯诺登的问题 。斯诺登于去年披露美国政府通过国家安全局搜集了公民大量私人通讯信息 。斯诺登现在被俄罗斯临时收容 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) FORMER U.S. SPY AGENCY CONTRACTOR EDWARD SNOWDEN, SAYING (SPEAKING VIA VIDEO LINK FROM UNKNOWN LOCATION): "Does Russia intercept, store or analyze in any way the communications of millions of individuals, and do you believe that simply increasing the effectiveness of intelligence or law enforcement investigations can justify placing societies, rather than subjects, under surveillance?" The former KGB agent addressed Snowden with frankness.
前美国间谍机构雇工爱德华·斯诺登(在未知地点通过视频连线讲话):“俄罗斯是否以任何方式拦截,存储或分析数百万个人的通讯信息,你是否相信,增加情报部门的效率或执法调查就可以使得对整个社会进行大规模监听看上去合理?”前KGB特工普京坦白地回答了斯诺登的问题 。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN, SAYING: "Modern means of communications are used by criminal elements, including terrorists, for their criminal activity. And of course, special services should accordingly, within that circle, use modern means and react and fight the crime, including crime of a terrorist nature. And of course we do that too.But that mass surveillance, indiscriminate surveillance we certainly do not allow ourselves, and we hope, I very much hope,will never allow in the future."
俄罗斯总统普京:“现代通讯技术被犯罪分子用于犯罪行为,包括恐怖分子在内 。当然,特殊服务部门相应地也要使用现代化的方式来做出反应,打击犯罪,包括恐怖分子的罪行 。当然我们也会这样做 。但是我们不允许进行大规模,无节制的监听,我们希望,非常希望将来也不允许这种情况的发生 。”
Putin finished saying that Russia did not have neither the technical nor financial means to do so.
普京最后表示,俄罗斯从未提供这样做的技术和财政支持 。
Royals meet bushfire survivors Down Under
剑桥公爵夫妇访问澳大利亚
The duke and duchess of Cambridge tour the Blue Mountains as part of the second leg of their trip Down Under. The British royals took in the sights of the Blue Mountains, near Sydney, where there were devastating bush fires last October. They met families whose homes had been burnt to the ground and members of emergency services. Will and Kate were also greeted by thousands of well-wishers at Echo Point, the famous Three Sisters rock formation. The duchess, who was wearing a Diane von Furstenburg wrap dress and wedges, was welcomed by cheers as she and her husband walked to a platform to take in the view of the Blue Mountains. Later they watched some students on an adventure training course abseiling down the rock face. William stood dangerously close to the ledge, peering down to the valley below. He then went on to meet Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott in Sydney. The couple arrived in Sydney with their son Prince George on Wednesday, after a tour of New Zealand.They will spend 10 days travelling across Australia, visiting famous landmarks and meeting locals.

Ukraine says there's still a chance for diplomacy
乌克兰称外交方法仍存希望
With pro-Russian separatists still occupying government buildings in parts of Ukraine, the country's foreign minister says there is still a chance for diplomacy ahead of peace talks in Geneva.
由于亲俄分裂主义者仍然占领着乌克兰部分地区的政府建筑,乌克兰外交部长表示,在日内瓦和平会谈之前仍有机会通过外交方式来解决 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UKRAINIAN FOREIGN MINISTER, ANDRIY DESHCHYSTIA, SAYING: "I think that we still have a chance to de-escalate the situation using the diplomatic means. And we will try hard. We are trying hard - not only Ukraine - but also the United States. However, the time is now, not only to express the concerns, but to look for a more concrete and adequate response to Russia's plans and actions."
乌克兰外交部长戴希基提亚(ANDRIY DESHCHYSTIA):“我认为我们仍然有机会通过外交方式来缓解目前的形势 。我们将努力尝试 。我们正在努力尝试,不止是乌克兰,美国也是如此 。然而,现在不是表达担忧的时候,而应该对俄罗斯的计划和行动作出更加具体,更加充分的反应 。”
He will be meeting with diplomats from the U.S., EU and Russia Thursday in an effort to find a solution to the crisis. U.S. officials don't foresee a big breakthrough at the talks. They say its reasonable to assume more sanctions would follow the meeting.
周四,他将会见来自美国,欧盟和俄罗斯的外交官,寻找这场危机的解决方案 。美国官员并未预见会谈可以取得重大突破 。他们表示,预见会谈后可能会采取更多制裁措施是合理的 。
