聯(lián)合國(guó)稱由于戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)或者宗教迫害而被迫逃離家園的民眾的數(shù)量達(dá)到前所未有的高度。去年,近160萬(wàn)人民中包括兒童在內(nèi)的半數(shù)人民桃李家園。大多數(shù)逃難者來(lái)自敘利亞。聯(lián)合國(guó)難民特派大使委員會(huì)表示,國(guó)際社會(huì)似乎難以終止沖突。

“Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has said we are bringing no new proposals to the meeting. So he is saying, as the Greek government has been saying for some time now, what we need to do is to discuss this at the very highest level,in other words, leaders of Euro Zone countries, Alexis Tsipras, Angela Merkel, Francoise Hollande, sitting down and sorting it out at a political level rather at a technical one.

澳大利亞一家法庭禁止一名刺有紋身的婦女母乳喂養(yǎng)。一位法官稱這將傳染她的11個(gè)月大的兒子。下面是約翰·唐尼森從悉尼發(fā)回的報(bào)道:
“The court in Sydney granted the injunction to stop the woman from breastfeeding despite the fact she had negative blood tests for both HIV and hepatitis. Nevertheless, Judge Mathew Myers said there was still an unacceptable risk to the baby because the tests were not conclusive. Breastfeeding advocates in Australia criticized the decision saying the risk was incredibly small.”
悉尼法庭對(duì)該婦女禁止母乳喂養(yǎng)下了禁令,盡管她的HIV和肝炎的血液測(cè)試稱陰性。不僅如此,法官馬修·邁爾斯稱這對(duì)嬰兒還有潛在的危險(xiǎn),因?yàn)闇y(cè)試結(jié)果并不代表著最終結(jié)果。澳大利亞提倡母乳喂養(yǎng)的人士對(duì)此決定提出批評(píng):該可能性很小。
