The Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has struck a deal to form a coalitiongovernment shortly before a deadline expired. Mr. Netanyahu reached an agreement with thefar-right Jewish home party, Bayit Yehudi, led by Naftali Bennet, which will guarantee theslimmest possible majority. Kevin Connolly is in Jerusalem.
“Mr. Netanyahu had entered the last day of talks with 53 of the parliamentary seats he neededin the bag out of the 61 required for a majority in Israel's 120-seat Parliament. The party, withthe last stake vote he needed, was thus able to drive a hard bargain. Bayit Yehudi which enjoysstrong support among settlers on the West Bank, will control the powerful Justice Ministry.”
Political campaigning for Thursday's general election in Britain has now drawn to a close. ThePrime Minister, David Cameroon, said the Conservatives will protect recent economic gains. Hismain rival, Labour's Ed Miliband, promised to protect working families. Here is our U.K. politicalcorrespondent, Rob Watson.
“In his final appeal to the voters, David Cameroon said Britain was stronger than it was 5 yearsago, but there was more work to do. While Labour's Ed Miliband insisted he was the best manto lead the country. But the rise of the Scottish National Party and that the faction ofConservative and Labour voters toward used-to-be-considered fringe parties, such as UKIPand the Greens, means neither Mr. Cameroon nor Mr. Miliband is likely to win outright, soexpects all the sleep-deprived politicians to soon be facing the exhausting challenge ofsomehow forming a stable government.”

Well it’s certainly been a dramatic night of election results. But it’s important not to forgetthat today is also the 70th anniversary of VE day. I vividly remember, as a little boy growing upin Liverpool in the late 1940s, my mother’s exciting descriptions of an amazing night at a localstreet party - of music, dancing, bright lights and laughter.
When I was a bit older she gave me another side of the story – of being deeply troubled thatnight by very mixed emotions. Like everyone else she was thankful the German War was over –and wanted to celebrate that.
But earlier in the war her husband, my father, the pilot of a Lancaster bomber, had been shotdown and killed. And so on VE night, as the party became more exuberant, my mother foundherself torn apart by her genuine joy at the victory and the aching sorrow of her personal loss.
In the end, friends persuaded her that my father, and all who’d lost their lives on duty, or ascivilians, would have wanted those they’d left behind to celebrate the defeat of Nazi evil.
Of course, my mother wasn’t alone in finding VE night a bitter-sweet experience. Tears of joymingled with tears of sorrow for many people mourning loved ones, or worrying about thosestill fighting or imprisoned in the Far East.
这是一个非同寻常的大选结果出炉之夜。但是我们不要忘记，这也是欧洲胜利日70周年纪念日。20世纪40年代末，我还是一个小男孩，在利物浦长大，我的母亲经常激动地描述那个夜晚街道上精彩的派对——音乐，舞蹈，明亮的灯光，开心的笑声。
当我慢慢长大，她则向我讲述了故事的另一面——那天晚上不同的情感出现，让人难以承受。和其他人一样，她非常感激德国战争终于结束，也想要开心地庆祝。
但是战争初期，她的丈夫，我的父亲，一位兰开斯特轰炸机的飞行员，被击落并牺牲。所以，在欧洲胜利纪念日当晚，随着聚会的气氛渐入佳境，我的母亲一方面为胜利而感到真诚的开心，另一方面却被个人的遭遇而悲伤。
最后，朋友们劝她，我的父亲，以及所有在战争中失去生命的军人或平民都会希望幸存的人庆祝纳粹恶魔的惨败。
当然，我的母亲并不是当晚唯一一个心情苦乐参半的人。开心的泪水和悲伤的泪水混杂在一起。许多人悼念逝去的亲人，或者担心仍然在远东作战或被囚禁的人。
The holding together of contrary emotions is classically expressed in St John’s gospel wherethe joy of Jesus’ Resurrection is already present within the sorrow of his Crucifixion.
In our national life there are sometimes special moments when something touches collectiveconsciousness so powerfully that people with contrasting outlooks and diverse backgroundsfind themselves drawn together.
The two Minutes Silence at Remembrance is an example of national coherence, as it will be thisafternoon when at the Cenotaph, and across the country, there’ll be a pause in political activityas people with sharply opposing views and strong emotions, who voted in different waysyesterday, stand together, united in sorrow and thanksgiving for the Fallen - whose sacrificemade possible our ability to vote freely in the election.
This 70th anniversary finishes on Sunday, after the national service in Westminster Abbey, witha veterans’ reception hosted by the Royal British Legion. The climax will be a flypast of modernand historic aircraft. When I hear the roar of Merlin engines and the Lancaster comes into view,I know I’ll be holding together mixed emotions too.
在圣约翰的福音书中，完全相反的情感表现得非常经典，耶稣复活的喜悦和他在十字架上受刑的痛苦参杂在一起。
在国民生活中也有一些特别的时刻强烈触动集体意识，不同观点，不同背景的人们聚集在一起。
纪念仪式上两分钟的默哀是国民凝聚力的典范。今天下午，在阵亡将士纪念碑乃至全国各地，政治活动将暂停，人们将发表完全相反的观点和强烈的情感，他们昨天投下不同的选票，今天则站在一起，团结起来为牺牲的英雄表达悲伤和感激——正是他们的牺牲才让我们有了在选举中自由投票的权利。
这次的70周年纪念日将在周日结束，威斯敏斯特大教堂将举行活动，英国皇家军团将举办退伍老兵招待会。活动的高潮将是现代和过去的飞机进行空中分列。当我听到梅林发动机的咆哮声，看到兰开斯特映入眼帘，我知道我的心情也非常复杂。

Officials in Athens say that Greece has had to use a reserve account at the InternationalMonetary Fund in order to make a bailout loan repayment to the IMF. Here is our economicscorrespondent, Andrew Walker.
Before the repayment of 750 million euros was made, there were some doubts about whetherGreece would find the money. It's done so by using reserves held at the IMF. All IMF membershave this account, and they can and sometimes do dip into them to make loan repayments. Itis, however, a sign of financial stress, and the account acts as a buffer that Greece hasdepleted. The move reinforces the comment made by the Finance Minister, Yanis Varoufakis,that the country's financial situation is terribly urgent, as he seeks further bailout paymentsfrom the rest of the Eurozone.

雅典官员称希腊要想向国际货币基金组织偿还纾困贷款，必须使用在该机构的准备账户，经济记者安德鲁·沃克报道。
在偿还7.5亿欧元的债务之前，人们怀疑希腊是否能筹到这么多资金，希腊将使用在国际货币基金组织的准备金来还款。所有的IMF成员国都有这样的账户，可以在某些时候使用这些准备金来进行还贷，但这确实资金不足的迹象，这个账户就为希腊提供了缓冲余地。这一举动就进一步证实财长Yanis Varoufakis的言论，即希腊的财政状况非常紧迫，当时他正希望从欧元区其他国家获得更多的纾困帮助。

As the first results begin to come in from Britain's closely-fought general election, an exit pollsuggests the Conservatives, led by the Prime Minister, David Cameroon, will become by far thelargest party. The poll, commissioned by the BBC and other broadcasters, pose theConservatives on 316 seats in Parliament, just short of an overall majority. It says the mainopposition, Labour Party, will trail in second place with 239 seats. Peter Kellner from the pollingfirm, YouGov, told the BBC there could be several reasons for today's poll.
“The first is that the exit poll is right, and all the polls that came out in the last 24 hours, oursis one of eleven, all eleven showed Conservative and Labour neck and neck. Second possibility isexit poll is wrong, and the eve of poll polls were right. Third possibility, something happenedtoday. We interviewed six thousand people today and we could find no sign of any netmovement in any direction. So I think we can rule out an on-the-day shift. Fourth possibility isit is somewhere in the middle that the Tories have done bits better than the eve of poll.”
Marco Gholf is a senior Conservative.“If this is correct, then the public respondedenthusiastically to the campaign that we put forward, and rewarded David Cameroon and ourteam with an increased number of seats. And I have to say, if the poll's right, that'sunprecedented for more than thirty years.”
The former leader of the Liberal Democrats, Paddy Ashdown, also dismissed the exit poll iswrong, and pointed to a different predicted outcome in another survey.
“If this exit poll is right, I will publicly eat my hat on your programme. I think this YouGov pollright now, which gives us not 10 seats, not 20 seats, but 31 seats. So one or other of thesetwo polls is wrong, and I'll bet you my hat eaten on your programme for that's wrong.”
The exit poll also predicts that the Scottish National Party, which wants independence, is oncourse for an overwhelming victory in Scotland. The poll says the SNP will take 58 out of the59 seats in Scotland, making huge gains from the Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats. Thegeneral election comes 8 months after Scotland voted in a referendum to remain part of theUnited Kingdom.

英国竞争激烈的大选开始公布首批结果，选举后民调显示由首相戴维·卡梅伦领导的保守党将成为至今为止最大党。这次民调是由BBC和其他广播公司委托进行的，显示保守党获得议会316个席位，未能获得绝对多数支持，民调称主要的在野党工党以239个席位居于第二位。民调公司舆观的皮特·凯尔纳告诉BBC有几个原因导致了今天的民调结果。
“第一种可能是民调结果正确，在过去24小时内进行的民调中，我们是11个民调之一，所有的11个民调显示保守党和工党不相上下。第二种可能是民调结果错误，而民调之前的情况是对的。第三种可能是今天出现了一些情况，我们今天采访了6000人，发现没有迹象显示向任何方向变化。所以我想我们可以排除掉一天之内的变化。第四种可能是保守党在中间某个时候表现得比民调前更好了。”
马克是一位资深的保守党人士，“如果民调结果正确，那么说明公众对我们进行的竞选活动反应很热烈，以席位的增加来回报戴维·卡梅伦和我们的团队。如果民调正确，那我一定要说的是，这是30多年来前所未有之事。”
自由民主党前领袖派迪·阿什道称民调结果不错，指出另一次调查中发现不同的预测结果。
“如果这次民调属实，我可以在你的节目上吃掉我的帽子，这次舆观的民调给了我们不是10个席位，也不是20个席位，而是31个席位。所以这两个民调中总有一个是错误的，我打赌我敢在你的节目上吃掉我的帽子。”
这次民调还预测，希望独立的苏格兰民族党即将在苏格兰获得压倒性胜利，民调称苏格兰民主党将获得苏格兰59个席位中的58个，从工党和自由民主党那里获得巨大收益。就在这次大选举行的8个月前，苏格兰参加公投并继续留在英国。

The U.S. Senate has approved a bill that will give Congress the power to review an internationalnuclear agreement with Iran. The vote was a significant step in a long-running dispute withPresident Obama about Congressional oversight of any Iran deal. The bill now goes to theHouse of Representatives, which is also expected to pass it. Barbara Plett Usher is inWashington.
“The legislation would give Congress 30 days to review any final deal with Iran, and preventPresident Obama from suspending Congressional sanctions during that time. It's acompromise between lawmakers, who say they've been sidelined during the nuclear talks, andthe President, who believes Congressional interference would hamper negotiations. But thebill stalled in the Senate as some Republican Senators tried to add tough conditions that wouldhad provoked a presidential veto. This vote ends that debate and approves a version Mr.Obama could accept. He would still have the power, though, to automatically reject the resultsof any Congressional review.”

“该法案将给国会30天的时间来审查任何与伊朗的最终协议，并阻止奥巴马总统在此期间暂停国会的制裁。这是议员和奥巴马总统之间的妥协，议员们称自己在核谈判期间被排挤，因为奥巴马认为国会的干预会阻碍协商进行。但由于一些共和党议员试图增加一些可能会引发总统否决的强硬条件，所以法案在参议院被耽搁。这次投票就结束了这场辩论，并批准了一个奥巴马可以接受的版本，不过他将仍保有权力来自动否决国会审查的任何结果。”

Libya is full of cruelty. That quote from an unnamed Nigerian migrant is the title of AmnestyInternational's report, and the document makes grim reading with its stories of the abduction,torture and rape of migrants in Libya.

With no legal avenues to escape and seek safety, says Amnesty,migrants are forced to place their lives in the hands of smugglers, who callously extort, abuseand attack them.

there have been conflicting reports about whether the deputy leader of Islamic State has beenkilled in an airstrike on a mosque in Iraq. The Iraqi Defense Ministry said Abu Alaa al-Afari waskilled while meeting with other IS members near the northern city of Tal Afar. But the USmilitary has denied bombing on mosque and says it cannot confirm reports of al-Afari’s death.Here’s our Arab Affairs Editor Sebastian Usher.
The Iraqi Defense Ministry has posted a video showing a devastating strike on a building. Itsays it’s the bombing that killed Abu Alaa al-Afari. But there’s no other supporting evidence sofar. An Interior Ministry spokesman said it’s unclear if al-Afari was even there. If he is dead andit is a big if for now, it would be a blow for IS.
Al-Afari had been a contender for leadership of the group in 2010 and he’s believed to havestepped up to that role in recent weeks, with rumors that Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the self-declared Caliph has been greatly wounded.

I think the people who like Prince Charles like Prince Charles because he does this stuff, and thepeople who don’t like him don’t like him because he does this stuff, so in a sense, where we areis that we have more flesh on the bones of what this stuff is. But it is not something that Ithink is mercifully going to shift public opinion.
关于伊斯兰国激进分子二号头目是否在伊拉克境内针对一座清真寺的空袭中被击毙出现了互相矛盾的报道。伊拉克国防部表示，阿夫里(Abu Alaa al-Afari)在北部城市Tal Afar与伊斯兰国其他成员会晤时被击毙。但是美国军方否认轰炸了清真寺，称不能证实关于阿夫里死亡的报道。我们的阿拉伯事务编辑Sebastian Usher报道。
伊拉克国防部发布了一段视频，显示一栋建筑遭遇毁灭性的的袭击。国防部表示，正是这起爆炸将阿夫里击毙。但是目前为止没有其他证据支持这一说法。内政部一名发言人表示甚至连阿夫里是否在现场也不确定。如果他真的死了——现在很大程度上只是猜测——这对伊斯兰国激进组织来说是一个很大的打击。2010年，阿夫里曾竞争该组织领导，据信近几周他终于荣升该职位，有谣言称自封的哈里发阿布·巴克尔·巴格达迪受重伤。

As early results come in from around Britain after a closely-fought campaign, an exit poll hassuggested that the Conservative Party leader, David Cameroon, will return to office as PrimeMinister. The poll predicts Conservatives on 316 seats in Parliament, just short of an overallmajority. The main opposition, Labour Party, has described the exit poll as inconsistent withsurveys throughout the campaign, which forecast a close finish. Here is our politicalcorrespondent, Rob Watson.
“The first results from across the U.K.'s 650 constituencies appear to confirm the exit poll'sprediction of a truly dramatic outcome to Britain's general election. David Cameroon and theConservatives have done far better than expected, and Labour and the Liberal Democratsdisastrously worse. Most striking of all, perhaps, is the possibility that the Scottish NationalParty could win as many as 58 out of Scotland's 59 seats. As to the other so-called smallerparties, the anti-E.U. UKIP, and Greens, it seems they may have won many votes, but theBritain's electoral system means that has not translated into more than a handful of seats.”
Despite being the largest party, the poll suggests the Conservatives would need to form acoalition or lead a minority government. The former Conservative Minister, Ken Clarke, said itwas overwhelmingly likely that David Cameroon would stay as Prime Minister.
“It's far too soon to start speculating about what sort of government we'll formed, who to dealwith whom. But David has had a good result, much better I think than most people hadexpected, and the chances of David Cameroon carring on as Prime Minister areoverwhelmingly likely. But it's going to be a different sort of government, and a different sortof parliament.”
But Labour's Shadow Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper, has questioned the exit poll results.
“Even if the exit poll is right, the overall impact of that is that the coalition has lost itsmajority. It had a majority of 73. That now seems to have disappeared. And that, I think,does mean that, you know, what David Cameroon said was that he was aiming to win amajority. He has failed to do that. And it does look like that this is very difficult, even on thisexit poll, for him to command the confidence of the House of Commons.”
The landslide victory predicted for the Scottish National Party north of the border reflects thesurge in support it enjoyed since failing secure independence in last year's referendum. Mostof their gains would be at the expense of Labour. Colin Blane is at a count in Glasgow.
“Grim faces in the Labour count here in Glasgow. I was talking, for example, to the SNP teamwatching Glasgow's northeast, which is hardest of all the seats for them to win, and they saythey are well ahead, they are elsewhere, the story is similar. So it looks as if Labour are ontrack to lose all 7 Glasgow seats. And bear in mind that 6 of these seats have majority of overten thousand.”
英国竞争激烈的竞选初步结果已经揭晓，选举后民调表明保守党领袖戴维·卡梅伦将继续担任首相一职。民调预测保守党获得议会的316个席位，不足以赢得绝对多数支持。主要的在野党工党称这次选举后民调与选举中的调查结果不一致，后者预测难分胜负。政治记者罗布·沃森报道。
“英国各地650个选区的初步结果似乎证实了选举后民调的预测，即英国这次大选将出现戏剧性的结局。戴维·卡梅伦和保守党的表现比预期要好得多，工党和自民党惨败。最令人吃惊的可能是，苏格兰民族党可能赢得苏格兰59个席位中的58个。对于其他所谓的小党，比如反欧盟的英国独立党和绿党来说，看起来他们可能赢得了很多选票，但英国的选举系统意味着这并不能转化为几个席位。”
尽管保守党已成为最大党，但民调表明该党需要组建联盟或领导少数派政府，前保守党部长肯·克拉克称戴维·卡梅伦有极大的可能继续担任首相。
“现在揣测我们将组建什么样的政府、由谁来执政还为时过早，但戴维的结果很不错，比大多数人预测的要好，戴维·卡梅伦继续担任的可能性是相当大的。但所组建的政府将是不同的，议会也是不同的。”
但工党的影子内政大臣伊维特·库珀质疑了选举后民调的结果。
“即使民调结果是争取的，最大的影响是联盟失去了多数支持，过去有73个多数席位，但现在看来已经失去了。戴维·卡梅伦所说的是他准备赢得多数支持，但他没能做到这一点。即使是民调这样显示，但对他来说赢得下议院的信心来说还是很难的。”
苏格兰民主党获得的压倒性胜利反映出自从去年争取独立公投失败以来该党获得了更多支持，大部分成果是从工党那里夺得的。科林·布兰在格拉斯哥点票站说：
“格拉斯哥工党的点票点都是严肃的面孔，比如，对于苏格兰民族党来说，争取格拉斯哥东北部的席位来说是最难的，他们自称自己很领先，确实并非如此，情况很类似，似乎看来工党即将失去格拉斯哥的全部7个席位，但要记住的是，其中6个席位有着超过一万人的多数支持。”

The White House has described the cyber-attack on Sony Pictures as a serious nationalsecurity matter. It says it was a malicious attack by what it called a sophisticated hacker.Although it did not name North Korea. Earlier, Sony announced that a comedy film about theplot to kill North Korean leader Kim Jong-un would not be released anywhere in the world. TheWhite House spokesman, here is Josh Earnest.
There is evidence to indicate that we have seen destructive activity with malicious attemptthat was initiated by a sophisticated hacker and is being treated by those investigationagencies, both FBI and the department of Justice as seriously as you could expect. It has alsobeen subject of a number of daily meetings that have been convened to the White House.
Hackers have threatened not only Sony but anyone who is thinking of watching the film,warning them to remember the September 11th attack. Our North America editor John Soperreports on the reactions in the US now the film will not be shown.
The decision by Sony executives has provoked a furious backlash. The actor Ben Stiller calledthe move a threat to freedom of his expression. The creator of the TV series the West WingAaron Sorkin said the US had its come to an unprecedented attack on the backdropprinciple of free speech. While the real life occupant of the West Wing, Barack Obama urgedpeople to continue going to the cinema.

Kurdish forces said they have broken the siege of Mount Sinjar in northern Iraq, freeingthousands of people who have been trapped for months by Islamic State militants. The eventbegan on early Wednesday. Jim Mill has the details.
45 air strikes were carried out, the most intensive such attacks since the Americans beganusing their air power in northern Iraq in August, then a big force of some 8000 KurdishPeshmerg troops launched 2 rounds of ground assaults. Less than 48 hour later, they declaredthe operation a success. They said they had recaptured several hundreds square kilometers ofterrain, breaking the IS’s siege of Mount Sinjar by opening a wide corridor to the thousandsof the Yazidis and others trapped on the mountain top. If the Kurds have done all they said, it’sa significant advance, but there is still a long way to go.

白宫方面称索尼影视公司遭遇黑客网络袭击是严重的国家安全事件。白宫表示这是一起由经验丰富的黑客发起的恶意攻击行为，然而其并没有明确指出攻击来自朝鲜。早些时候，索尼方面宣布关于刺杀朝鲜领导人金正恩的喜剧电影不会在世界上任何地方放映。下面是白宫发言人乔希·厄尼斯特(Josh Earnest)发表的讲话。
有证据表明我们遭遇经验丰富的黑客恶意攻击的破坏性行为，现在调查机构FBI和司法部正在进行调查，就是你想像的那么严重。而且，该事件还迫使白宫每天召开几次会议进行讨论。
黑客不仅威胁索尼影视公司，还警告所有想要观看这部电影的人谨记9.11袭击的教训。我们的北美编辑JohnSoper报道这部电影不会播放在美国引起的反应。
索尼高管的决定引起了强烈反响。演员本·斯蒂勒(Ben Stiller)表示此举是对其言论自由的威胁。电视剧《白宫风云》编剧亚伦·索尔金(Aaron Sorkin)称美国言论自由的基本原则正在遭受前所未有的袭击。而《白宫风云》现实中的原型奥巴马鼓励人们继续去电影院观看该影片。

Life is known to exist in some of the most inhospitable places from the polar ice tohydrothermal vents. Well, now scientists have uncovered life more than 2,000 meters beneaththe floor of the Pacific Ocean. Thefindings have been presented at the American GeophysicalUnion in San Francisco from where our science correspondent Rebecca Morale reports.
Life has found a way. The microbes were discovered in 2012 when a gigantic drill penetrated arecord-breaking 2.5 kilometers beneath the sea floor off the coast of Japan. Now experimentshave revealed that the single-celled organisms are, even for microbes, incredibly small. Theysurvive on an unusual diet of methanecompounds, the first time this has been seen in thedeep.
With each expedition, the deeper we drill, we still keep finding cells. I’m not surprised that lifecan do it, cuz at this point I’ve been continually impressed at what life is able to accomplish.But it is fascinating to study, for sure.
The findings also give hope in the hunt for life on other planets. If life can survive in the mostextremeconditions on earth, perhaps it’s found a way to cope with the harsh environmentselsewhere in the cosmos. Our science correspondent Rebecca Morale.
A long-lost Walt Disney Christmas film from 1927 has been found in a library archive inNorway. The movie featuring Oswald the lucky rabbit has been restored and we’ll get its firstpublic screening later this week. So where does Oswald fit into the Disney family tree? JuliePeacock has been finding out.
Before Mickey Mouse, there was Oswald the lucky rabbit. He was created by Walt Disney in1927, a year before the world’s most famous mouse. One called "Empty Socks" was consideredlost. Until now, the only knownfootage was a 25-second segment owned by the Museum ofModern Art in New York. But the National Library ofNorway discovered a long-forgotten 5.5-minute film amongst their archives in 2008. Since then, they’ve been working to restore it andjust thought to be the only near complete version in existence. Only one minute is missing.
In "Empty Socks", Oswald dresses up as Santa Clause and celebrates Christmas with a group oforphans. Shortly after the film was made, Walt Disney lost the right to the character in adispute with Universal Studios.
我们知道，一些最不宜居的地方，从极地冰到深海热泉，都有生命的存在。最近，科学家在太平洋低2千多米处发现了生命。该发现在美国地球物理学会上被提了出来。本台科学记者丽贝卡·莫拉莱旧金山报道。
生命找到了存活的方式。2012年，巨型钻头打破了纪录，深入日本沿岸海域海底2.5千米，并发现了微生物。目前，实验证明：被发现的单细胞有机体，甚至是微生物，都是极小的。它们的食物也非同寻常——甲烷化合物，也是第一次在深海中被发现。
在一次次的考察中，我们越钻越深，不断发现细胞的存在。我并不惊讶于生命可以在这种环境中存活，因为我在不断被生命的能量所震撼。当然，研究这个还是非常有趣的。
这些新发现也为在其他星球上寻找生命提供了一线希望。如果生命可以在地球上最极端的条件下存活，那么也许它已经在宇宙的其他角落找到了应付恶劣环境的方法。本台科学记者丽贝卡·莫拉莱报道。

The Commission wasinvolved in Thailand following the 2004 tsunami and more recently, in Iraq, Libya and Mexico.But until now, it hasn't had a formal international role.
