北約外長們一致同意就俄羅斯吞并克里米亞采取措施，包括與莫斯科停止一切民事和軍事合作。喬納森·馬克斯在布魯塞爾會議上報道。
The view here at Nato is that the seizure of the Crimea by Russian troops has changed thewhole security landscape in Europe. The alliance’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussendescribed Russia’s annexation of Crimea as the gravest threat to European security for ageneration. Accordingly, Nato is set to reinforce its defences. In the coming days and weeks,we could see existing operations like the air patrols over the Baltic countries reinforced and insome cases entirely new deployments to reassure worried allies.
北約的看法是，俄羅斯軍隊奪取克里米亞一事已經改變了歐洲的安全局勢。北約秘書長 拉斯穆森稱俄羅斯吞并克里米亞是幾十年來歐洲安全面臨的最大威脅。因此，北約準備加強防御，在未來幾天和未來幾周，我們將看到目前的部署，比如波羅的海國 家的空中巡邏會有所加強，有的情況下還會進行全新的部署來安撫憂慮的盟國。
Parliament in Ukraine has meanwhile agreed a series of bilateral and multi-lateral militaryexercises with Nato countries. But the Russian foreign ministry has warned Ukraine against anyfurther integration with the alliance, saying previous attempts to do say have produced whatit called unwelcome consequences.

The Lebanese parliament has approved a law intended to curb domestic violence, butactivists say it doesn’t go far enough. The law was originally more clearly aimed at giving womengreater rights against sexual abuse. Sebastian Usher reports.
黎巴嫩議會批準意在控制家暴的法律，但活動人士稱此舉還遠遠不夠。該法最初的目的是給婦女更多權利來反對性虐。塞巴斯蒂安·亞瑟報道。
Just three weeks ago, protesters took to the streets of Beirut to demand a comprehensivelaw protecting women against violence in the home. What intensified the anger and urgencyof the rally was the deaths of two women earlier this year in suspected acts of domesticviolence. But though some activists have greeted this new law as historic, they see it as apositive step rather than the culmination of their campaign. The original draft of the law,they say, was much stronger, outlawing marital rape and forced marriage. But they say it waswatered down to satisfy the most traditional elements in parliament.
就在數周前，抗議者走向貝魯特街頭要求實施保 護婦女不受家暴侵害的法律，今年早些時候兩名婦女死亡一事使得集會民眾更加憤怒更加迫切。但盡管有些活動人士稱贊新法是歷史性的進步，但他們只是視之為進 步，而不是其運動的高潮。他們說該法最初的草案更強有力，將婚內強奸和強迫婚姻都判定非法。但他們說目前該法已經打了折扣來滿足議會中最傳統(tǒng)的人物。
