在伦敦奥运会游泳池中,法国赢得男子4*100米自由泳接力决赛。他们打败著名的美国队,其中包括14次夺得奥运金牌的迈克尔·菲尔普斯和新星瑞安·洛赫特。另一件令人难过的事是,夺冠热门队西班牙在输给洪都拉斯后被淘汰出男子足球。
Polls have closed in Romania where voters have been deciding whether to impeach their center-right President Traian Basescu. Three hours before voting ended, turnout was well short of the 50% needed to make the vote valid. The center-left government accuses Mr Basescu of undermining democracy as Nick Thorpe reports.
罗马尼亚选民投票决定是否弹劾中右派总统特拉扬·伯塞斯库。投票结束前的三个小时,投票率低于50%,达不到有效的比例。中左派政府谴责伯塞斯库危害了民主。尼克·索普报道。
The Romanian public were actually asked two questions in this referendum. One was on the ballot paper: "Do you want to remove Traian Basescu from office?"; the other question was not written, but was on everyone's minds: do you care enough about it to actually go out and vote? Temperatures of 39°C on Romania's Black Sea coast are not much less in the capital, plus the growing distrust of the population in the whole political elite appeared to be keeping numbers down. But it's beginning to look as though President Traian Basescu has survived yet another attempt to unseat him.
