BBC News, hello, I am Nick Kelly. The opening ceremony for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro is taking place at the Maracana Stadium. The organized is hoping to lift the spirits of a nation that has been struggling with economic and political crisis. Our correspondent Ed Harry is in the stadium and he joins us now. The athletes’ parade is underway after an opening hour which began as a musical history of Brazil, but which culminated with a stark warning a party being ended with projection showing rising temperatures and sea levels. The athletes now have entered the auditorium, being presented as a part of the solution to that, each being presented with a seed and a cartridge. And those 11,000 seeds will form the athlete forest in Deodoro, a legacy to the city of Rio de Janeiro. And there will be 270 species, one for each of delegations taking part in these games.

欢迎收听BBC新闻，大家好，我是尼克。里约奥运会开幕式正于马拉卡纳球场开始。组织方希望通过精彩的开幕式提振最近深陷经济和政治危机的巴西的风貌。我台记者埃德现在正在场内，请听他为我们带回的报道。在巴西如音乐盛典般的前奏打响后，运动员方队准备入场。这部分也是开幕式的高潮，昭示世人全球气温升高以及海平面上升的危险事实。现在运动员们已经进入场地，手捧全球变暖问题的解决方案——种子和一盒泥土。这1.1万粒种子将在Deodoro广场种下，日后形成一片由运动员亲手种下的森林，成为里约的一笔宝贵财富。这些种子共有270个品种，代表着参加开幕式的270个代表团。

The South Sudanese government has agreed to allow in a regional military force to try to solve the peace deal. The agreement has been under threats since fighting between forces loyal to the president and his deputy killed hundreds in the capital Juba last month. Our Africa editor James Corpuno reports. President Salva Kiir and his supporters had strongly resisted the idea of the new international force in South Sudan. Last month, the President said he wouldn’t allow a single solider in. Now he’s changed his mind under considerable regional and international pressure. However, much still remains unclear. The regional body EGETS says the force will protect civilians and implement the peace deal. But the South Sudanese minister said most of the details, including the number of troops and the exact mandate, have not yet been agreed on.

南苏丹政府已准入某地区武装部队，以完成和平协议。上个月因南苏丹总统及其副总统的武装部队在首都朱巴造成了上百人死亡，该和平协议一直受到威胁。我台驻非洲记者詹姆斯为您发回详细信息。南苏丹总统萨尔瓦及其支持者强烈反对在南苏丹引入新的国际军力。就在上个月，总统萨尔瓦还表示，他绝不会让境外的一个兵进入南苏丹。而如今，在国际国内的巨大压力下，萨尔瓦改变了观点。不过，很多事情尚不明朗。但当地组织认为，新的国际军力能保护南苏丹百姓，并助力和平协议的实现。但南苏丹高官表示，大多数细节，比如军队的数量和具体的工作任务还没有达成一致。

Officials in the U.S. city of Chicago have released video footage showing the moments before the police shot dead an unarmed black man after a dramatic car chase last week. It’s the first time video captured by police cameras has been released so swiftly under a new city policy promising greater transparency. The moment of Paul O’Neal’s death was not captured. Police said there was a camera fault. Ja'Mal Green, an activist and spokesman for the O’Neal family, called on the Chicago police department to do more to hold officers accountable. We want a relationship with the police department. But things have to change, the training has to change, holding officers accountable, it has to change. When an officer does wrong, they have to be held accountable. And then people would start taking the Chicago police department seriously and we can bridge that gap.

美国芝加哥市警察上传了一则视频，视频记录了上周一场激烈的飙车追逐后，警察将一名手无寸铁的黑人射杀。自承诺警察执法透明化的新政策发布后，来自警察视角的视频第一次以如此迅速的速度上传。保罗临死的时刻并未出现在视频中。对此，警方表示是相机出了毛病的缘故。活动家格林是保罗一家的发言人，他呼吁芝加哥警力部门为自己的行为负责。我们希望与警方有和谐的关系。但当前的态势必须改变，警察培训必须改变，让警察更负责任，必须改变这一切。警察做错事的时候，应该为自己的行为负责。只有这样，市民才能认真对待芝加哥警方，才能弥合双方的误解。

The Colombia government and left- wing FARC rebels have taken another step towards ending more than a half century of conflict. They agreed to a timetable and a UN supervised process for disarming thousands of guerrillas. Will Grant reports. In these last stages of the deal, it seems the final details are proving difficult. The two sides have announced more information about the 23 transit trade zones in eight camps that the FARC fighters will be moved to once they demobilize. There were also details on the process of laying down arms. Specifically that it will be done in three phases over a period of five months. The entire process will be verified by a political mission of non- armed observers from the UN. The decommissioned weapons will then be destroyed and the metal used to create three sculptures to the victims of the conflict.

在长达半世纪之久的冲突后，哥伦比亚政府及左翼叛军FARC向和解共进一步。双方均同意采用共同的时间表以及在联合的监督下对游击部队进行裁军。请听威尔为您发回的详细报道。在谈判的最后阶段，似乎最终的细节难以敲定。对于叛军FARC遣散游击部队后的23个转口贸易区域8个阵营，双方披露了更多细节信息。还有一些关于裁军进程的细节。具体来说，需要花费5个月的时间，分为三个阶段进行裁军。全过程将由联合国非武装监察组织作为一项政治任务来确保完成。经裁军的武器会被销毁，其残余金属会被用来建造3个雕塑，以纪念在冲突中离世的受害者。
