Eurozone leaders are still locked in talks at an emergency summit, trying to find a compromise that would enable Greece to avoid running out of money and to keep the single currency. The Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, is anxious to strike a deal before any Greek banks collapse 1, which could happen within days. Our economics editor, Robert Peston, who's in Athens, says the crisis is having a huge impact on the Eurozone itself.


欧元区领导人仍在召开紧急会议,试图找到一个折衷的办法保证希腊不会用尽资金,又能留在欧元区。希腊首相齐普拉斯想在希腊任何银行倒闭之前急于达成一项协议,而银行又撑不了几天。本台经济记者罗伯特·佩斯顿雅典在雅典现场,他称这次债务危机对欧元区本身有巨大影响。


"We have the spectacle this weekend of the two most important Eurozone countries, Germany and France, at loggerheads over the future of Greece. And that, I think, has done damage all over the world to the idea that the Eurozone is a stable, collected enterprise by Europe's leading economies. And I think that we will be paying a price for this crisis in the wider European Union for weeks, months, possibly, years to come."


这周末我们有重磅戏,欧元区最大的两个国家德国和法国对希腊未来支支吾吾。我认为,这次危机改变了世界其他地区以往对欧元区经济稳定,欧洲龙头企业经济发展稳定的看法。我认为欧盟这将会为这次危机付出几周,几个月甚至几年的代价。


The Mexican President, Enrique Pe?a Nieto, says he has faith that his security forces will recapture one of the world's most powerful drug lords, Joaquin Guzman, who's escaped from a high-security prison. Here's Katy Watson.


墨西哥总统恩里克称他相信本国安保武装力量能够再次逮捕从监管级别很高的监狱中逃出的世界最大的毒枭古兹曼。下面是卡迪·华斯顿报道:


"Joaquin Guzman was last seen in the prison showers on Saturday evening. When guards checked his cell later, he disappeared. They found a hole, ten metres deep, with a ladder leading to a tunnel, a kilometre and a half long. According to security officials, it had lighting 2, ventilation and stairs. For a government, which, in recent years, has boasted of its record of catching 3 big drugs lords, this latest escape is particularly embarrassing, because it's the second time Guzman has got away."


最后一次看到古兹曼时是周六上午的监狱澡堂。后来狱警去巡视他的牢房时,发现他不在了。他们找到一个深约10米的洞,洞内有一把梯子通往长一千五百米的隧道。根据狱警描述,隧道里有照明、通风口和楼梯。最近几年政府一直吹嘘抓获了世界最大的毒枭。打破逮捕记录。这次越狱使的政府尴尬不堪,因为这是古兹曼第二次越狱。


The Colombian government has issued a joint 4 statement with FARC rebels, agreeing to deescalate the conflict between them.

报道称,世界六大国和伊朗代表人在维也纳就伊朗核问题的讨论很快就会达成协议,周一很可能就会宣布通告。这项协定使伊朗以严格限制本国核武器发展换来解除众多的国际制裁。下面是乔恩华盛顿报道:


"One senior administration official, who's been very close to these talks, said a perfect deal is very easy to sell. One, where Tehran walks in, waves a white flag and offers endless concessions 6, is very easy to sell. A good deal, which has been forged out of compromise, concession 5 and mind-boggling, complex details, very much more so. The Obama administration wants to say this is a good deal, and better than no deal at all. His opponents think otherwise, and they are making the running at the moment."


与这次会议密切相关的一位高级行政官员称这项完美的协定双方都满意。一方面,德黑兰步入会场,挥舞着白旗,提出一连串的休战是很容易达成的。出于折中、让步和讨论而达成的一项较好的协定和很容易达成。奥巴马政府称这是一项不错的楔形,比没有任何协议要好得多。他的反对党却不以为然,此时此刻。他们仍在奔走。

Video footage has emerged in Israel, allegedly showing a senior Israeli officer, shooting dead a fleeing Palestinian teenager, who had thrown a rock at his vehicle last week. The video, released by a human rights group, contradicts earlier claims by the military that the officer opened fire because his life was in danger and that he had exhausted 8 all measures before shooting the teenager. The Israeli military has declined to comment.

The magnificent Thirteenth-century citadel, with its ramparts and towers, is a U.N.-listed World Heritage Site. Rami Jouer, a Syrian activist 10, told the BBC that the people's relationship with the monument was changing.
