Section 3 News Item 1
In spite of frenetic* diplomatic activity between Washington and Moscow and the \relations between the two sides, it was always going to be difficult for a new arms control treaty to come into force (开始生效) before Friday's deadline, and so talks will continue after the old START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty 削减战略武器条约) agreement expires (到期).
Kremlin sources appear optimistic that something can be agreed while President Obama is in Europe next week to receive his Nobel Peace Prize.
But the details of the new, complex agreement have not been finalised. It will also need to be ratified* in both parliaments and that could take months.
In July President Barack Obama and his Russian counterpart Dmitry Medvedev signed a joint understanding (联合协议) that would see reductions of deployed nuclear warheads (导弹弹头) to below 1,700 each within seven years of a new treaty, a huge cut on Soviet-era levels.
A: …about a new arms control treaty between the US and Russia . B:
1. Friday is the deadline for a new arms control treaty to come into force. 2. The US and Russia improved their relations by frenetic diplomatic activity. 3. President Obama will receive his Nobel Peace Prize next week.
4. The new agreement will need to be ratified in both parliaments before it is finalized. 5. President Obama and his Russian counterpart signed a joint understanding.
6. The US and Russia should reduce their deployed nuclear warheads to below 1,700 each
within seven years of a new treaty.
News Item 2
This vote means that Benjamin Netanyahu can now form a government, one that might be more internationally acceptable with Labor than without. This will help Mr. Netanyahu, especially in Washington, where Israeli officials privately worry that they face the most skeptical*(持怀疑态度的) administration in decades.
The Labor leader, Ehud Barak, said just before the vote that he would be a counterweight* (砝码), not a fig leaf\职位), he also said he'd gained an agreement that the peace process would continue and that previous deals with
21
the Palestinians would be honored. His was an appeal to pragmatism* (务实的方法) rather than ideological purity.
The risk for Mr Barak is that some Labor members would accuse him of putting personal ambition for office first and will opt to (选择) keep their principles unsullied*, heading for the back benches* in the Knesset*(以色列国会). The question is whether this historic force in Israeli politics will be permanently split after this vote. That will be something of a problem for Mr. Netanyahu as well since it may delay by a few more days the forming of his new government.
A: … about forming a coalition (联合) government in Israel .

News Item 3
A committee of the European Parliament has voted to end subsidies to tobacco farmers and use some of the money to help them to grow alternative crops. Part of the savings would also be used to fund anti-smoking campaigns.
The EU has often been criticized for spending money on anti-smoking campaigns or subsidizing tobacco farmers. Now the budget committee of the European Parliament has voted to scrub (取消) the subsidies, a saving of a billion dollars a year. Instead, it wants to put around 100 million dollars into helping the farmers switch to other crops, and around 30 million into helping people to stop smoking. The proposed cut will affect farmers and some of the EU's poorest regions in Greece, Italy and France. The motion (提议) will go before the European Parliament later this month. Member states will have the final say and the tobacco-growing countries are unlikely to assent (同意) without a fuss.
A: … about the decision by a committee of the European Parliament to end subsidies to tobacco farmers and to use some of the money to help them to grow alternative crops .
