英国新闻听力 美俄就叙利亚停火达成协

The United Stats and Russia have announced a cessation of hostilities² in Syria to take effect at midnight on Friday. Between main jihadist groups, Islamic State or ISIL and al-Nusar Front are not part of the arrangement. The UN Deputy Secretary General Jan Eilasson said monitoring the ceasefire wouldn't be easy. If you have a ceasefire, a cessation of hostilities does not cover territory which is dominated by al-Nusra and Daesh, ISIL. Then, that is, of course, a huge challenge for us in terms of monitory. And that we have to face later. But it is a very complicated situation definitely. But I think the dangers that this could turn into something even more dangers unites everybody right now. The agreement was announced after a phone call between President Obama and his Russian counterpart Vladmir Putin. With more of the difficulties that lie ahead, here is Barbara Plat Harsha in Washington. Syria's government and armed opposition³ groups have 5 days to accept the terms of the agreement, such as an end to attacks and full excess to humanitarian⁴ aid. The initiative was first to agree in Munich earlier this month. But it fell apart when Russia-backed the massive Syrian government offensive in the north of the country. It said it was going after a Islamic State militant⁵ but targeted rebel positions. President Putin now says he will do what's necessary to ensure the Damascus respect the truth. Shortly after the announcement of the ceasefire plan, the Syrian President al-Assad called parliamentarian elections that take place in April, the last polls were held 4 years ago.
