BBC News: 大眾前總裁因尾氣排放丑聞遭到指控

Hello, I'm Neil Nunes with the BBC news.

大家好，我是尼爾·努內(nèi)斯，歡迎收聽(tīng)BBC新聞。

The former chief executive of Volkswagen Martin Winterkorn has been charged in the United States in relation to the diesel emissions scandal. Volkswagen admitted in 2015 to installing software in diesel vehicles to cheat in emissions tests. Mr. Winterkorn resigned over the matter, but denies knowing of any wrongdoing at the time. US prosecutors say he already knew a year earlier. Our business correspondent Joe Miller is in New York. He's accused of defrauding both the American government and millions of American consumers who bought VW cars, thinking that the emissions that were lower than they actually were. And he's also accused of violating what's known as the Clean Air Act by making false representations to regulators. So these are four charges and really uNPRecedented in the US both in terms of convictions for generally any corporate executive and what certainly never happens is that a foreign chief executive gets charged in a suit of this scale.

Afghan interpreters who worked for the British armed forces in Afghanistan are to be allowed to settle in Britain free of charge. The Home Secretary Sajid Javid said the men had worked in dangerous and challenging situations, regularly putting their lives at risk. Andy Moore reports. The interpreter shared the same dangers as British troops on the front line and the additional risk of retribution from the Taliban. Many of them were allowed into Britain under a relocation scheme, but faced the prospect of paying over three thousand dollars for themselves and each family member if they wanted to stay. More than 150 interpreters wrote a letter to the government, saying their lives were in limbo. The Home Secretary Sajid Javid said it had always been clear the interpreters would be able to stay in Britain with their families, and now they would be able to do that for free.
