Aleksandar Vucic , the prime minister of Serbia , won another term in elections . He is likely to continue many of the reforms needed for Serbia to join the EU . But the bigger challenge is the economy , which last year grew by only 0.7%.
塞爾維亞總理亞歷山大•武契奇( Aleksandar Vucic )贏得大選，順利連任。他很有可能繼續推進多項改革措施促使塞爾維亞加入歐盟。但更大的挑戰來自於經濟，去年該國經濟增幅僅為0.7%。

In Spain King Felipe announced that , after exhaustive talks following the country's inconclusive election in December , he had not been able to find a new prime minister . Instead it is likely that new elections will be held on June 26 th . The polls indicate that the result may be the same .
繼去年12月份選舉未果以來，西班牙國王菲利普（Felipe）與各派進行詳盡會談，近日他宣布無法提出新的首相人選。新一輪選舉或將在6月26日舉行，但民調顯示這次選舉結果可能與之前如出一轍。

The government of Norway launched an appeal against a court ruling that it had violated the human rights of Anders Breivik , a far - right extremist who killed 77 people in 2011. Mr . Breivik lives in a three - room cell with windows , a treadmill and a television .
挪威政府認為法院關於安德斯•布雷維克（Anders Breivik）的裁決侵犯了其人權，遂提起上述。安德斯•布雷維克是一名極右派激進分子，曾在2011年殺害77人。她現今被關押在一個三室帶窗的牢房內，同時獄方還為其配置了跑步機和電視。

A leading gay - rights activist in Bangladesh was hacked to death along with a friend . The prime minister blamed the killings on the opposition , but the local branch of al - Qaeda claimed responsibility . Two days earlier , Islamic State said it was behind a similar murder , of a professor of English . Four Bangladeshi liberals have now been murdered by Islamists this month .
一位知名孟加拉國同性戀權益活躍分子與其同伴慘遭砍殺身亡。該國總理指責反對黨是該案兇手，但當地基地組織宣稱對此事件負責。兩天前，IS宣稱用同樣的方式殺害一名英文教授。至此，伊斯蘭極端分子4月份共殺害了4名孟加拉自由派人士。

India made an embarrassing diplomatic U - turn when it reneged on issuing a visa to Dolkun Isa , a peaceful Uighur activist whom China regards as a terrorist . The Indians had seemed ready to welcome Mr . Isa in a tit - for - tat measure : they were angry that China was reluctant to apply the terrorist label to a man they blame for actual terror attacks in India .
印度外交政策發生令人尷尬的大轉變，撤銷發給多里坤•艾沙（Dolkun Isa）的赴印簽證。艾沙是“世維會”的積極分子（譯者註：西方國家普遍認為“世維會”是一個旨在爭取維吾爾族獨立的、和平的少數民族團體），但中國將其 列為恐怖分子。早先中國不願認定一名對印度實施恐怖襲擊的人士為恐怖分子，印度政府對此感到憤怒，欲借歡迎艾沙來印與中國針鋒相對。

澳大利亞在馬努斯島（Manus Island）為移民搭建收容所一直以來都飽受爭議，該島是巴布亞新幾內亞（Papua New Guinea )的屬島。近日巴布亞新幾內亞最高法院裁定這一行為違法。法官表示這一私人經營的收容所大約可容下850人，這違背了巴布亞新幾內亞憲法保證的人身自由。 澳大利亞則表示不會對這一政策作出任何修改。

Saudi Arabia's deputy crown prince published what he called a “ vision ” for the kingdom in 2030. The plan aims to curb dependence on oil by boosting non - oil businesses , and to part - privatise Saudi Aramco in order to set up a huge sovereign - wealth fund that will invest at home and abroad . Prince Muhammad bin Salman also wants to raise the participation rate of women in the workplace from a paltry 22% now to a still - paltry 30% by 2030.
沙特副王儲穆罕默德•本•薩爾曼（Muhammad bin Salman）公佈了“沙特2030願景”。計劃旨在推動非石油產業的發展，逐漸擺脫對石油的依賴，並部分私有化沙特阿美石油公司（Saudi Aramco）以便籌集巨額主權財富基金進行國內外投資。王子同時還表示希望到2030年將婦女在勞動力市場的比重由現在的22%提高到30%，但這一比 重仍然微不足道。

In a rare conviction for corruption , a former member of a Nigerian state legislature was sentenced to 154 years in jail . But the judge ruled that he should serve his sentences concurrently for 77 crimes , including the embezzlement of around $7 m , so he should be free in two years .
尼日利亞前國家立法機構成員涉嫌貪污被判處154年監禁，這一判決實屬罕見。但法官裁決該成員同時還須因包括挪用約700萬美元等在內的其他77項罪名服刑，如此一來，該名官員將於兩年後釋放。
