European football's governing body, UEFA has decided to spread the marches for its championship finals in 2020 throughout the continent rather than holding them in just one or two countries. Alex Capsticks reports.
欧洲足球官方机构欧洲足联决定将2020年锦标赛扩大到整个欧洲,而不是仅由一两个国家举办。Alex Capsticks报道。
The idea of spreading Euro 2020 to various cities around continents was first mooted by UEFA's Preisent, Michel Platini. It was partly to avoid the financial burden on signal or joint hosts in a time of economic difficulty. The only objections came from Turkey which was one of the bidding candidates. It's unclear how many cities will be chosen, but Michel Platini has privately spoken of around a dozen with semi-finals and final possibly held in the same country.
将欧洲2020锦标赛推广到欧洲各国这一想法最初是欧洲足联主席米歇尔·普拉蒂尼提出的,这部分是为了在经济困难时由一个或多国国家独自承担费用。只有申请国之一的土耳其表示反对,尚不清楚如何挑选城市,但米歇尔·普拉蒂尼已私下提到一些半决赛或决赛在同一个国家举行。
A bus driver in Vienna has been praised for his honesty after he found and handed in a bag with more than $500,000 in it, which has been left on his bus by an old lady. He gave the bag to the police, who were able to identify the pensioner using a bank deposit slip found with the money. The lady had reportedly withdrawn her entire life savings from the bank. It's not known what she intended to do with the cash.
