Reports from the United States say a justice department investigation into last year's police killing of an unarmed black teenager in Ferguson has found a pattern of racial bias in the times police called in jail systems. Riots broke out in the Missourian town after Michael Brown was shot dead by a white police officer, and again after a grand jury decided not to indict him. Our North America Editor Jon Sopel sent this report from Washington. “One official said the inquiry found that officers disproportionally used excessive force against black people, and too often charged them with petty offenses, more motivated by generating revenue from fines than public safety. The justice department also found that African Americans were 60% less likely than others to have their cases dismissed by a municipal court judge; and that from April to September last year, 95% of people kept in the city jail for more than two days were black.”
来自美国的报道称，司法部对去年弗格森警察开枪打死手无寸铁黑人少年案件的调查发现，该市警察法庭和监狱系统中存在种族歧视。在迈克尔•布朗被白人警察开枪打死后，密苏里州发生了暴乱，在大陪审团决定不起诉警察后再次发生暴乱。BBC驻北美编辑Jon Sopel在华盛顿报道。
“一名官员称调查发现官方对黑人过度执法，通常还会因为小错误指控他们，其动机更多地是想从罚款中获得收入，而不是出于公共安全的考虑。司法部还发现与其他人种相比，非洲裔美国人的案件更不可能被市政法官驳回，这个差距是60%。从去年4月到9月，该市监狱中被关押两天以上的囚犯中有95%是黑人。”
President of Tanzania Jakaya Kiwete has promised to end the killing and mutilation of albinos, which he says is bringing shame on the country. Mr. Kiwete said the false belief that their body parts bring good luck was fueling the murders. Albino body parts which are believed to bring luck in business, politics and love, sell for hundreds of dollars in Tanzania. Campaigners say more than 70 albinos have been killed in Tanzania in the past few years.

The former CIA director General David Petraeus has pleaded guilty to the federal charge of mishandling classified material. He resigned from the CIA in 2012. From Washington, Gary O’Donoghue. “The case against David Petraeus stemed from an affair he had with his biographer Paula Broadwell. The affair emerged when a friend of Mr. Petraeus complained to the FBI about threatening E-mail she was receiving telling her to stay away from the four-star general. It became clear those E-mails were sent by Mrs. Broadwell. And the agency investigating discovered that classified documents had been removed and retained by General Petraeus. This plea bargain will allow him to avoid an embarrassing high-profile trial, but nevertheless it is a federal conviction and it marks an ignominious end to a glittering career.”
美国中情局前局长大卫•彼得雷乌斯接受对他的联邦指控，承认对机密文件处理不当，他2012年从中情局辞职。格林•奥•多诺休在华盛顿报道。
“这起针对大卫•彼得雷乌斯的案件是由他和传记作者宝拉•布罗维尔的恋情曝光的，当时彼得雷乌斯的一位朋友向联邦调查局投诉，称她收到威胁要她离开这位四星上将的电子邮件。后来得知这些电子邮件是布罗维尔女士发送的，该机构经过调查发现，彼得雷乌斯将军转移并持有了机密文件。辩诉交易让他免于经历令人尴尬的高调审判，但无疑这是联邦定罪，并标志着光彩职业生涯的不光彩结束。”
