中英双语新闻 布鲁塞尔发生连环爆炸案

Police are conducting a massive operation across Belgium following the attacks at the main airport in Brussels and at a metro¹ station. More than 30 people died in 3 blasts. 250 others were wounded. Security officials have released images of a man wanted in connection with the explosions at the airport. He is seen along with two other men who a prosecutor² said had been blown themselves up. Local media are reporting that they were driven to the airport from the suburb of Schaerbeek from where Anna Holligan now reports. What we have seen here is a big operation focusing on an apartment or some kind of building down this road. We've heard reports from the Belgium prosecutors³ today confirmation⁴ that during the course of the raids, they found chemicals, they found an explosive device that contains nails among other things. The threat level across the country has been raised to maximum and extra troops have been deployed⁵ in Brussels. Belgium has declared three days of national mourning and a minute's silence for victims of the attack will be held at midday on Wednesday. The monarch⁶, king Philippe, called the attacks a cowardly and odious⁷ assault. His Prime minsiter Charles Michel said Belgium would not be coward and he joined hundreds of people carrying candles and flowers who gathered as night fell in the Place de la Bourse, a square in the ancient heart of Brussels. Our correspondent Gavin Lee attended the vigil. It's late afternoon here in Brussels and most of the streets in some of the main tourist areas are very quiet tonight. But at one part by the Bourse, the old stock exchange of pedestrianised area is full of hundreds of people who've spontaneously gathered. They are writing, chalking on the ground messages of peace as a big flag being held up saying just we Brussels. And it's very particularlly belgian way of paying tribute. There are many trappist Belgium beer bottles with flowers and candles all round.

Presidnt Obama has ended a historic visit to Cuba by addressing its citizens directly in a live television broadcast in which he urged them to embrace economic and political change. We get more details from Will Grant who is in Havana. For so long, Cubans were told that their biggest enemy was the president of the United States. So to see him address them live on state television must have felt like a true change had already come to the island. President Obama didn't waste his opportunity either. He began by saying that he had came to bury remnants of the cold war in the Americas to rapturous applause. But it wasn't just about Washington's mistakes in the region. He didn't shy away from the uncomfortable issue of human rights in Cuba either.

A Supreme⁹ Court judge in Brazil has rejected an appeal by the government to overturn a decision banning the former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva from joining the cabinet. The post would make it harder to prosecute¹⁰ him in relation to a wide-ranging corruption¹¹ scandal.

Those who call on me to resign show the fragility of their conviction of the process of impeachment becasue above all they are trying to instate a coup¹⁴ d'etat against our democracy. I can assure you that I will not cooperate with this. I will not resign for any reason whatsoever¹⁵. Meanwhile, Brazilian police have carried out more than 100 raids at offices of Odebrecht, Latin America's biggest engineering firm as part of an ongoing¹⁶ corruption investigation¹⁷ at the state-run oil company Petrobras.
