1、欧洲 IMF's Christine Lagarde 'under investigation' 涉法政府腐败案 IMF总裁拉加德接受调查 French authorities have formally opened a negligence investigation into Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF). She has been questioned about her role in awarding 400m euro (￡318m; $527m) in compensation to businessman Bernard Tapie in 2008. She denies wrongdoing. Ms Lagarde, 58, was finance minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy's government at the time of the award. Mr Tapie supported Mr Sarkozy in the 2007 presidential election. He was once a majority shareholder in sports goods company Adidas but sold it in 1993 in order to become a cabinet minister in Francois Mitterrand's Socialist government. 法国当局正式对国际货币基金组织（IMF）总裁拉加德的过失进行调查。拉加德因涉及2008年富商塔皮埃获得4亿欧元（约合5.27亿美元）赔偿金一事被正式立案调查。她本人则则对此不法行为予以否认。 今年58岁的拉加德，在富商获赔案之时正是法国前总统萨科齐政府的财政部长。塔皮埃在2007年的总统选举中曾支持过萨科齐。他曾经是阿迪达斯体育用品公司的大股东，但是1993年为了成为密特朗社会党政府的内阁成员，他将该公司出售。
2、澳大利亚 Qantas reports biggest ever loss of A$2.8bn for year 澳航报有史以来最大亏损 Australia's national flag carrier Qantas has reported an after-tax net loss of A$2.8bn ($2.6bn; ￡1.57bn) for the year ending in June - its biggest ever financial loss. The struggling airline said the result was in part due to an A$2.6bn write-down on its international fleet. Analysts were expecting a net loss of around A$750m. Qantas said weak domestic demand, poor consumer spending and rising fuel costs also contributed to the huge loss. It is the worst result in the company's history and compares with a revised after-tax profit of A$2m a year earlier. One-off costs associated with redundancies contributed to the full-year loss, though, and the firm said its current underlying financial position was strong and improving. 澳大利亚国家航空公司澳洲航空（Qantas）报道称，至今年六月止的一年来，澳航税后净亏损为28亿澳元（约合26亿美元），成为其有史以来最大财政亏损。 这家陷入困境的航空公司称，导致这次亏损的部分原因是国际舰队26亿澳元的减记。分析人士此前预估的净亏损为7.5亿澳元。澳航称，内需不足、消费支出不足，以及燃料成本升高都是这次巨大亏损的原因。这是澳航有史以来最最大的亏空。去年年初，修改后税后利润为0.2亿澳元。虽然裁员导致的一次性费用也是这次全年亏损的原因，澳航称，公司目前的基本财务状况稳定且有改观。

The Moscow restaurants were initially told to close on 21 August after criticism from the Russian state food safety watchdog Rospotrebnadzor.

The company said it will appeal against the rulings and is examining the judgements given by the court. 俄罗斯法庭下令关闭4家麦当劳连锁餐厅90天，理由是违反相关卫生条例。 起初由于俄罗斯的国家安全监督局Rospotrebnadzor提出批评，这几家麦当劳被要求在8月21日关闭。而麦当劳餐厅则很希望尽快开门营业。 麦当劳称，它将对法庭的裁决提出上诉，且正在审查法庭作出的判决。
4、欧洲 France's jobless total rises sharply in July 法国失业人数再创新高 2014年8月28日 5:01 The number of people looking for work in France rose 0.8% in July to a new record. The sharp rise confirms a longer term trend with the number of jobless rising 4.3% over the last year. President Francois Hollande has promised to kick start growth and create jobs. But the economy has floundered, prompting a revolt against austerity by three left-wing ministers. Mr Hollande replaced them and named a new cabinet. In mainland France 3,424,400 people were looking for a job in July, 26,100 more than the previous month. 7月份法国本土无业人数上升0.8%，总数再创新高。去年以来失业人数上涨4.3%，这表明大幅上涨的失业人数有持续恶化的趋势。法国总统奥朗德已经承诺将启动经济增长，增加就业。但如今法国经济仍停滞不前，这也导致三位左翼部长提出反对紧缩政策。奥朗德总统已经将这三位部长换人，并任命了新的内阁。7月份法国本土无业人数为342.44万人，较上个月增加了2.61万人。

The announcement comes nine months after a separate issue forced the company to pull its Chromebook laptops from sale after reports that their chargers had been overheating. 美国惠普公司（HP）已经下令召回全国范围内的电源线，这些电源线是与笔记本电脑和其他配件，包括扩充基座一起出售的。 这次被召回的电源线是在2010年9月至2012年6月间售出的。美国消费品安全委员会（CPSC）表示，单单是售往美国和加拿大的问题电源线就有600万条。随后还有报道称，这些中国制造的装备已经造成使用人员轻微灼伤。发出这项声明9个月前，有报道称惠普公司充电器过热，导致公司停止了笔记本电脑Chromebook的销售。
6、欧洲 Germany announces new rules to fight EU 'benefit tourism' 德国宣布打击欧盟“福利移民”新规则 2014年8月27日 22:50 The German government has announced proposals to tackle alleged abuses of the benefits system by migrants from elsewhere in the European Union. Under the plan, EU migrants would no longer receive social welfare benefits after six months out of work. EU citizens convicted of benefits fraud could also face deportation. Ministers say the proposed laws would offer relief to areas overstretched by a high influx of poor EU citizens, especially from Bulgaria and Romania. The proposals still need parliamentary approval, however. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said they could take effect from 2015. 德国政府宣称，将打击骗取欧盟其他成员国移民骗取”福利补助”的行为。 根据这项计划，欧盟移民将在失业6个月后不再接受社会福利。犯有诈骗福利罪的欧盟区公民也将面临被驱逐出境。德国部长称，这项提议可以缓解大量贫困欧盟移民使某些地区不堪重负的现象，这些移民主要是保加利亚人和罗马尼亚人。 然而，这项提议仍然需要议会的批准。内政部长Maiziere称这些提议将从2015年开始生效。
