BBC新闻附字幕:奥巴马宣布削减赤字计划

BBC News with Marion Marshall

President Obama hasoutlined his plan for cutting America's huge budget deficit, saying that corporations and the wealthiest citizens must pay higher taxes. Speaking at the White House, Mr Obama said it was wrong that someone earning only $50,000 a year should pay the same rate of tax as a person who earned $50m. He said the pain of reducing the deficit had to be evenly spread.

"I will not support any plan that puts all the burden for closing our deficit on ordinary Americans, and I will veto any bill that changes benefits for those who rely on Medicare but does not raise serious revenues by asking the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to pay their fair share. We are not going to have a one-sided deal that hurts the folks who are mostvulnerable."

Republican opponents have described Mr Obama's plan as "class warfare" and say they'll oppose any tax increases.

The Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos has taken part in a two-hour emergency conference call with international lenders as Greece comes under further pressure to avoid defaulting on its debt repayments. The auditors from the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund have been assessing the Greek government's deficit reduction plan. They are deciding whether to release more money tobail outthe Greek economy. Officials say further talks will be held on Tuesday. More from our Europe editor Gavin Hewitt in Athens.

The Greek government knows that without further financial aid, it willrun out ofcash by mid-October; it also knows that no more bailout money will come its way unless it lives up to its promises and reduces its budget deficit to 7.6%. It has raised taxes and cut spending, but staffing in the public sector has not been reduced; tax collection is a shambles, and its privatisation programme hasbarelystarted. The question is whether Greece has reached a tipping point where further austerity will beresisted, whatever the consequences for the country.

Libyan fighters loyal to the country's interim government say they've captured key parts of the southern city of Sabha from forces loyal to Colonel Gaddafi.

"Our forces there in the airport and the Libyan canal since two hours ago. Our flags are waving there over the airport and another part of Sabha, we call it the castle Fort Elena, traditional Fort Elena the castle."

Residents of the largest illegal traveller settlement in Britain have won a last-minute courtinjunction, delaying their plannedeviction. Bailiffs had already arrived at the Dale Farm site in southern England, which is home to more than 400 Irish travellers. Jeremy Cooke reports.

It was supposed to be the day when years of legal wrangling and courtroom battles came to an end when the eviction process at the illegal Dale Farm traveller site began.But even as dozens of security guards, bailiffs and police officers gathered at the scene, a last-gasp High Court hearing granted an injunction which effectively blocks the eviction from proceeding until Fridayat the earliest.

奥巴马总统概述了削减美国巨额财政赤字的计划，称公司和最富有的公民必须缴纳更高的税收。在白宫发表讲话时，奥巴马总统表示，每年只赚50,000美元的人与每年赚5000万美元的人的税率相同，这是错误的。他说，削减赤字带来的痛苦必须均匀地分摊。

"I will not support any plan that puts all the burden for closing our deficit on ordinary Americans, and I will veto any bill that changes benefits for those who rely on Medicare but does not raise serious revenues by asking the wealthiest Americans and biggest corporations to pay their fair share. We are not going to have a one-sided deal that hurts the folks who are most vulnerable."

“我反对任何将削减赤字的负担压在普通美国人身上的计划，我会否决任何改变依赖医疗保健的人的福利，而不通过提高富人和大公司的税收来增加收益的法案。我们不会出台片面的协议来伤害罪弱势的民众。”

Republican opponents have described Mr Obama's plan as "class warfare" and say they'll oppose any tax increases.

共和党反对派称奥巴马的计划是“阶级冲突”，表示他们会反对任何增税措施。

希腊财长维尼则罗斯(Evangelos Venizelos)与国际社会领导人一起参加了两个小时的紧急会议。现在，希腊受到避免拖欠债务的进一步的压力。欧元区和国际货币基金组织审计人员正在评估希腊政府的削减赤字计划。他们将决定是否提供更多资金拯救希腊经济。官员们表示，周二将会进行进一步的对话。我们的欧洲编辑Gavin Hewitt在雅典报道更详细内容。

The Greek government knows that without further financial aid, it will run out of cash by mid-October; it also knows that no more bailout money will come its way unless it lives up to its promises and reduces its budget deficit to 7.6%. It has raised taxes and cut spending, but staffing in the public sector has not been reduced; tax collection is a shambles, and its privatisation programme has barely started. The question is whether Greece has reached a tipping point where further austerity will be resisted, whatever the consequences for the country.

希腊政府明白，如果没有进一步的金融救助，他们将会在10月中旬宣告资金告罄；希腊政府还明白，如果他们不履行自己的承诺将财政赤字削减至7.6%，他们不可能获得进一步的救助资金。希腊已经提高了税收，削减了支出，但是没有削减公共部门的职员。税收状况一片混乱，私有化也几乎没有起步。问题是，希腊是否已经到了进一步的紧缩措施会遭遇抵抗的危急时刻，无论这个国家将遭遇什么样的后果。
