英音听力讲解:美国加州遭遇史上最严重火灾

This is David Austin with the BBC News.
President Trump has played down a row over defense spending in a meeting with the French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris ahead of commemorations to mark the centenary at the end of the first World War. In an earlier tweet, Mr. Trump described as very insulting Mr. Macron's call for a European army to protect itself and reduce dependence on the US. This could have been a techy encounter after Donald Trump's distinctly undiplomatic tweet made the moment of his arrival in France. Instead, the ambience between the two men, at least before the cameras was hearty and smiling. The fledgling row over European defense was quickly skated over, both men agreeing that what was important was that Europe pay more for its own defense, and thus take some of the financial burden from the US. Behind the bonhomie though, the differences between the two men in their view of how the world should be run remain fundamentally unbridgeable. Hugh Schofield reporting.
特朗普在巴黎与法国总统马克龙展开会晤，特朗普在会议上淡化了防务支出问题，之后双方将参加一战结束100周年纪念活动。在之前的推文中，特朗普称其有侮辱性，马克龙呼吁欧盟军队能够自卫，并减少对美的依赖。鉴于特朗普在抵达法国时发的这条直言不讳的推特，本次会面有可能会非常不愉快。相反，至少在镜头下，两人之间的气氛很亲切并且都面带微笑。双方关于欧洲防务的话题迅速掠过，并同意现在最重要的是欧洲为自己防务做出更多的支出，因为这让美国承受了过多的财政负担。在友好背后，二人在关于世界如何运行问题上存在不可逾越的鸿沟，修•斯科菲尔德的报道。

The UN's Human Rights Chief Michelle Bachelet says she's outraged by what she called the unconscionable suffering being inflicted on civilians in the battle for the Yemeni city of Hodeidah. Government forces are trying to capture the area from the Houthi rebels. Here is Alan Johnston. Ms. Bachelet, the UN's top human rights official is clearly appalled by what's happening in Hodeidah. She demanded that the warring parties and their international backers hold the horrors being endured by what she called the city's deeply frightened and starving people. The latest reports speak of intense clashes in the area of a large hospital with many airstrikes being carried out by the government's Saudi-led coalition allies. The government says its forces have captured the building but this hasn't been confirmed. Alan Johnston.
