大家好，我是杰瑞•施密特，歡迎收聽BBC新聞。

India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi is due to launch what's being billed as the world's biggest universal healthcare scheme. The plan aims to grant five hundred million people, nearly half of India's population, the entitlement to free health insurance. Our South Asia editor Anbarasan Ethirajan reports. Described by the Indian media as Modicare, the new health scheme aims to transform 150,000 community centers into health and wellness centers. The program also gives poor families insurance of up to 9500 dollars in private hospitals. Prime Minister Narendra Modi hopes this will boost his chances of re-election next year. Critics say given India's complex bureaucracy and corruption, the rollout and implementation will be a big challenge.

印度總理納倫德拉•莫迪即將啟動世界最大的醫(yī)保計劃。這項計劃旨在為五億人口提供免費的醫(yī)療保險，占了印度人口的近一半。以下是我臺南亞編輯安德布里森•安迪拉杰的報道。新的醫(yī)保計劃被印度媒體稱之為“莫迪醫(yī)保”，旨在將15萬個社區(qū)中心變成醫(yī)療與健康中心。該項目還將給與貧窮家庭最高9500美元的私人醫(yī)院醫(yī)療保險。總統(tǒng)莫迪希望這將會增加他明年連任的幾率。批評人士指出，鑒于印度復(fù)雜的官僚制度和腐敗現(xiàn)象，該項目的推出和實行將會面臨巨大的挑戰(zhàn)。

The President of Iran Hassan Rouhani has accused American-backed Gulf states of supporting the groups responsible for Saturday's deadly terror attack on a military parade. At least twenty five people, including twelve members of the elite Revolutionary Guards and a four-year-old girl were killed in the assault and more than sixty others were wounded. Joseph Tar has the details. Mr. Rouhani did not name the states, but said that Iran would respond to any attack lawfully. Saudi Arabia, the seat of Sunni Islam, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain view Iran as a regional threat. Shia Muslim Iran supports militant groups across the Middle East. President Rouhani also said that Washington wanted to cause insecurity in Iran. An Iranian ethnic Arab separatist group and Jihadi's Islamic State have both claimed that they carried out Saturday's attack in the city of Ahvaz.

Swiss voters will go to the polls later in two separate nationwide votes on ethical food. The proposals would boost government support for small family farms and require foreign food producers to adopt Swiss standards on sustainability and animal welfare. Imogen Foulkes reports from Bern. Switzerland already has strict regulations on the environment and on animal welfare. Consumer demand for local organic produce is high, but Swiss farmers still struggle to compete with foreign imports. Thirty thousand farms have closed in the last twenty years. The proposals would boost government support for small family farms and require foreign food producers to adopt Swiss standards on sustainability and animal welfare.
