Top US defense military official has said that the Islamic State group presented a long term threat greater than any other so far, and needed to be defeated in Syria, as well as Iraq. Both US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel and his Chief of Staff Martin Dempsey were speaking after the grisly murder of an American hostage by the group. From Washington, here is Barbara Plett Usher.

美国高级国防官员称伊斯兰国组织构成了比以往任何时候都要大的长期威胁，需要打败其在叙利亚和伊拉克的势力。在一名美国人质被该组织残忍杀害后，美国国防部长查克·黑格尔[Chuck Hagel]和参谋长马丁·登普西[Martin Dempsey]都发表了讲话。芭芭拉[Barbara Plett Usher]华盛顿进行报道。

“General Dempsey said it was possible to contain the Islamic State militants for a time, but they would eventually have to be defeated. That couldn't be done without addressing their base in Syria and without the help of a regional coalition, he said. Neither he nor Secretary Hagel announced new military steps beyond the limited air strikes authorized by President Obama. But both described the threat in stark language. Short term, for westerners fighting with the Islamists, it might return home. Long term, said Mr. Hagel,Islamic State demonstrated a combination of sophistication, money, resources and tactical ability beyond any terrorist threat so far seen. 'We need to prepare for anything,' he said.”

“登普西[Dempsey]将军表示在某个时间遏制伊斯兰国是可能的，但他们最终必须被打败。他说要实现这个目标，必须在地区联盟的帮助下摧毁其在叙利亚的基地。他和哈格尔[Hagel]部长都没有宣布除了奥巴马总统授权的有限空袭之外新的军事步骤，但是两人都特别强调了这一威胁。从短期来看，与伊斯兰分子作战的西方军事力量将可能回国，哈格尔[Hagel]说从长期看来，伊斯兰国除了构成恐怖威胁外，还展示了其组织严密，资金、资源和战略能力。‘因此我们需要为一切事情做好准备。’”

A hospital in the United States has discharged two American missionaries who has been treating the Ebola virus, saying they pose no risk to public health. They were both given an experimental drug which has not been tested on humans before. The doctor in charge of the US Care said his hospital had learned helpful lessons from the treatment.

美国两名在医院接受埃博拉病毒治疗的传教士现在已经出院了，该医院称他们不会对公众的健康构成风险。他们都服用了一种已经在人体测试过的实验药物，负责医生称该医院从这次治疗中学习到了有用的知识。

Bank of America has agreed to pay almost 17 billion dollars for selling toxic mortgage loans that helped trigger the financial crisis in 2008. The bank was accused of misleading investors into buying mortgage-backed securities that the soldiers saved for investments and led to billions of dollars of losses. The US Attorney General Eric Holder said it was the largest deal the Justice Department has ever reached with a bank.

美国银行因为出售有毒的抵押贷款并部分促成了2008年的金融危机，目前该银行已经同意为此支付近170亿美元的罚款。该银行被控误导投资者购买抵押政权，并导致了数十亿美元的损失。美国大法官埃里克·霍尔德[Eric Holder]称这是司法部至今为止处理的最大的银行案件。

I want to be very clear, the size and the scope of this multi-billion-dollar agreement goes far beyond the cost of doing business. This outcome does not preclude any criminal charges against the bank or its employees, nor was it inevitable. Over these last few weeks, this case would have been resolved out of court.

“我想明确的说，这个涉资数十亿美元的协议，其规模和范围远超过商业成本。这个结果并不排除对银行或其雇员进行任何刑事的指控，也不是不可避免的。就在过去几周，这个案件已经在法院之外得到了解决。”

Turkey's governing AK Party has nominated the Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu as the country's next Prime Minister. The decision was announced by the outgoing prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan who takes over as President later this month. Sallen Garage reports.

土耳其执政的AK党任命外交部长艾哈迈德·达乌特奥卢[Ahmet Davutoglu]为该国家下一任总理，这个决定是由即将离任且在本月末将成为总统的埃尔多安[Recep Tayyip Erdogan]总理宣布的。萨伦·贾拉杰[Sallen Garage]报道。

Mr. Davutoglu was not the obvious choice for the post of Prime Minister. Initially the strongest candidate for the position was thought to be the outgoing President Abdullah Gul, but his name was soon discounted. Mr. Davutoglu has been loyal to Mr. Erdogan first as an adviser and then as Foreign Minister. He will become Prime Minister after his election as the governing party's new leader at the Congress next week. The opposition suspects he will run the government at the bidding of Mr. Erdogan and says Turkey is heading to a new era of puppet Prime Ministers.

达乌特奥卢[Davutoglu]先生一开始并不是最有希望获得总理一职的人选，据说最初最有希望的候选人是即将离任的总理阿布拉汗·古尔[Abdullah Gul]，但他的名字很快就没指望了。达乌特奥卢[Davutoglu]先生一直效忠于埃尔多安[Erdogan]先生，一开始是担任顾问，后来是外交部长。他将在国会下周选举执政党新领袖后担任总理，反对派怀疑他在埃尔多安[Erdogan]先生的指挥下领导政府，称土耳其将进入傀儡总理的新时代。
