During the session, Labour leader Keir Starmer said "Sunak has no mandate" for government, saying he had been trounced by the former prime minister, his predecessor Liz Truss.

问答期间,工党领袖基尔·斯塔默表示,苏纳克担任首相没有获得执政授权,苏纳克曾被前首相,他的前任利兹·特拉斯击败了。

On the economic front, the new PM said his government's plans for the economic crisis will be unveiled shortly.

Germany set out plans on Wednesday to legalize cannabis, a move Chancellor Olaf Scholz's government said would make Germany one of the first countries in Europe to do so.

德国周三公布了大麻合法化的计划,德国总理奥拉夫·朔尔茨领导的德国政府表示,德国将成为欧洲首批大麻合法化的国家之一。

The coalition government struck an agreement last year to introduce legislation during its four-year term to allow the controlled distribution of cannabis and licensed shops.

联合政府去年达成了一项协议,在其四年任期内引入立法,允许大麻销售商和商店在受管控的情况下持执照销售大麻。

Health Minister Karl Lauterbach did not give a timeline for the plan.

卫生部长卡尔·劳特巴赫没有给出实施该计划的时间表。

Many countries of the region have already legalized cannabis for limited medicinal purposes, including Germany, since 2017.

自2017年以来,欧洲地区包括德国在内的许多国家已经将作为医用受控物质的大麻进行了合法化。

“这些公司在账单中偷偷收取各种不合理的费用,只是因为他们能收取这些费用,”通过采取措施,“能够马上为美国人节省数十亿美元不合理费用的支出。”
