1、欧盟 ECB cuts rates and launches stimulus programme 欧洲央行降息 推出刺激经济计划
2014年9月4日23:16 The European Central Bank has cut its benchmark interest rate to 0.05%, and introduced new stimulus measures. The ECB had earlier cut its rate from 0.25% to 0.15% in June, and also became the first major central bank to introduce negative interest rates. It will also launch an asset purchase programme, which will buy debt products from banks. It is hoped this move will add liquidity to the financial system and revive lending. 欧洲央行（ECB）下调基准利率至0.05%，并推出新的刺激经济措施。 欧洲央行此前在今年6月将利率从0.25%下调到0.15%，同时成为第一家推行负利率的主要央行。另外它也将推出从银行购买债券产品的资产购买计划。这项举措有望增加金融体系的流动性，并且能重振借贷。
2、北欧 Russia Confident Warship Deal With France Will Proceed 俄罗斯自信与法国军舰交易将会继续 2014年9月5日6:21 SAINT-NAZAIRE, FRANCE— Russian authorities say they expect their deal to buy two warships from France will go through, despite the announcement in Paris that delivery of the first vessel has been suspended. That statement Thursday follows comments by French President Francois Hollande on Wednesday that Russia's intervention in eastern Ukraine meant conditions were not right to complete the delivery. Russia's industry minister Denis Manturov said Thursday the Kremlin “assumes the $1.6 billion contract will be fulfilled according to the agreements” with France. Neither side has indicated when the warships might be transferred to Russian control. 法国圣纳泽尔消息——俄罗斯当局说，他们预期从法国购买两艘军舰的计划能够完成，尽管巴黎方面宣布暂缓第一艘军舰的交付。 这项周四的声明之前，法国总统奥朗德周三表示，俄罗斯介入乌克兰东部危机，意味着现在交付军舰时机不恰当。 俄罗斯工业部部长星期四说，克林姆林宫认为将按照合同执行与法国这项价值16亿美元的协议。双方都没有透露军舰将何时被移交给俄罗斯。

5、英国 BP found 'grossly negligent' in 2010 Gulf oil spill 英国石油公司在2010墨西哥湾漏油事件中有“严重疏忽”
2014年9月5日0:02 A US judge has ruled BP was "grossly negligent" in the lead-up to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The ruling could potentially cost BP billions more in compensation payments. The New Orleans judge Carl Barbier also found BP subcontractors Transocean and Halliburton "negligent".

BP said in a statement that it "strongly disagrees" with the ruling and that it would appeal to a higher court. Shares in BP fell 6% after the ruling was announced. 美国一名法官裁决，英国石油公司（BP）在2010年墨西哥湾石油泄漏事故中犯有重大过失。 这项裁决可能又会花费英国石油公司数十亿美元的赔偿金。新奥尔良法官卡尔·巴比尔裁定，英国广播公司的承包商越洋钻探公司（Transocean）和哈里伯顿公司（Halliburton）有“严重疏忽”。2010年漏油事件是美国史上最糟糕的一次事故，英国广播公司已经拨出430亿美元用于支付罚款、诉讼和解和清理的费用。英国石油公司说，他们“强烈不同意”这项裁决，并将会提出上诉。就在这项裁决被公布后，英国石油公司的股票下跌了6%。
