BBC听力 | 沙特国王私人保镖因个人纠纷被枪杀

Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC News.

Austrians are voting at an early general election after a scandal in May caused the previous coalition to collapse. A former head of the junior coalition partner, the far-right Freedom Party had to resign after he was caught in a video sting bringing down the government led by the Conservative Sebastian Kurz. From Vienna, here's Bethany Bell.

5月份的一场丑闻导致前联合政府垮台后，奥地利提前举行大选。同盟伙伴极右翼自由党的一位前领导人因被拍到丑闻视频而被迫辞职，此事件也导致由保守党人塞巴斯蒂安库尔兹领导的政府垮台。以下是贝瑟尼贝尔在维也纳的报道。

Since the collapse of the last government in May, Austria has been ruled by a caretaker technocrat administration. Now the country's going to the polls again, in the running of the Conservatives led by the young former Chancellor Sebastian Kurz; the Social Democrats led by Pamela Rendi-Wagner; the anti-immigrant Freedom Party with its new leader Norbert Hofer and the Greens under Werner Kogler. Also in the race of the liberal Neos. Coalition talks following the election are likely to take a number of weeks.

The turnout in Afghanistan's presidential election is estimated to be the lowest since 2001 when the Taliban regime was defeated. The overall number is expected to be just over two million, meaning roughly one in five registered voters cast their ballot. Correspondents say the turnout on Saturday was very low because people were worried about security and have lost faith in the electoral process. Preliminary results are not expected before mid-October.

The speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has said public opinion has moved behind the Democrats' decision to open an impeachment investigation into President Trump, but she said the move to start an inquiry was not political, but a matter of principle.

美国众议院议长南希佩洛西表示，公众舆论支持民主党对特朗普总统展开弹劾调查的决定，但她表示，启动调查并非出于政治目的，而是原则问题。

I think right now, there's a cover-up of the cover-up. And I'm just saying to you that people say you have to take a political risk doing that, that doesn't matter, because we cannot have president of United States undermining his oath of office, undermining our national security and undermining the integrity of our elections. Mr. Trump said that he was being targeted by the Democrats for standing up for basic freedoms and the future of the US was at stake.

我认为现在真相被层层掩盖。我只是想告诉大家，就像人们说的那样，你必须要冒政治风险，这并不重要，因为我们不能让美国总统破坏他的就职誓言，破坏我们的国家安全以及破坏我们选举的公正性。特朗普表示，他因捍卫基本自由而成为了民主党人针对的目标，现在美国的未来处于危险之中。
