Gunfire violence in Kiev despite 'truce'
基辅停战期间枪声暴力持续
Just hours after a truce was declared by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich and opposition leaders, violence and gunfire erupted in the center of Kiev Thursday morning resulting in casualties and injuries. Anti-government demonstrators hurled petrol bombs and stones at riot police in Independence Square, the center of a three-month standoff. Demonstrators could be seen dragging bodies through the streets, others were being covered with blankets. At least 28 people have been killed including 10 police officers. Both sides have accused the other of using live ammunition. All of this on the day foreign ministers from France, Germany and Poland are meeting with Yanukovich to discuss a political compromise. The crisis began last year when Yanukovich pulled out of a trade agreement with the EU under pressure from Moscow.
就在乌克兰总统亚努科维奇和反对派领导人宣布停战几小时之后，周四早上，基辅市中心爆发了暴力和枪声，造成人员伤亡。反政府示威者在独立广场向防暴警察投掷汽油弹和石头。独立广场是这个持续了三个月的僵局的中心。我们可以看到示威者们在街道上拖运着尸体，而其他遇难者用毯子覆盖着。至少28人在暴力中遇难，其中包括10名警察。双方互相指责对方使用实弹。同一天，来自法国，德国和波兰的外交部长与亚努科维奇会晤，讨论政治折衷案。这场危机始于去年，亚努科维奇在莫斯科的压力下撤出了与欧盟的贸易协议。
5 dead in Venezuelan protests
委内瑞拉抗议活动致5人死亡
A 22 year old college student and model is the latest casualty in the ongoing violent protests across Venezuela. Genesis Carmona, seen here being carried to a hospital, was shot in the head during a protest on Tuesday in Valencia- she later died from her wounds. Carmona is the fifth person to have been shot dead in anti-government protests this month that are multiplying in size and levels of violence. The leader of the student led movement, 42 year old Harvard educated economist Leopoldo Lopez, turned himself in to authorities Wednesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He is being held on murder and terrorism charges. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, who was narrowly elected last year after the death of Hugo Chavez, said Lopez and others are conspiring with the U.S. government and are seeking a coup against him. This fascist that we detain is well guarded in prison, he said after a meeting with his ministers. The demonstrators are demanding Maduro's resignation and expressing a litany of complaints from inflation and violent crime to corruption and product shortages.
一名22岁的大学生模特是委内瑞拉持续的暴力抗议活动最新的受害者。视频中看到的Genesis Carmona在周二瓦伦西亚的抗议活动中头部中枪被送往医院，随后伤重不治身亡。Carmona是本月在反政府抗议活动中被枪杀的第五个人。抗议活动的规模和暴力水平都不断增加。周三这场学生领导的运动领袖，42岁的曾在哈佛学习的经济学家Leopoldo Lopez在警方发布逮捕令后自首。他因谋杀和恐怖主义控罪被关押。去年在查韦斯去世后以轻微优势获胜的委内瑞拉总统马杜洛(Nicolas Maduro)表示，Lopez与美国政府密谋，试图对他发动军事政变。与内阁召开会议后，马杜洛表示，这位法西斯主义者在监狱受到严密的看守。示威者们要求马杜洛辞职，表达了一系列不满，从通货膨胀到暴力犯罪，到腐败和产品短缺。
