奥巴马总统已经宣布，在一份尖锐的报告发现美国退伍的服役军人的医疗待遇普遍存在缺陷之后，总统的退伍事务秘书已经辞职了。（Rajini Vaidyanathan）华盛顿报道。

President Obama said it was with considerable regret that he was accepting the resignation of the man responsible for the welfare of military veterans General Eric Shinseki. It follows a report that showed 1,700 veterans in Phoenix, Arizona who've been trying to get a primary care appointment haven't ever been placed on a waiting list. Others had spent months instead of weeks waiting to be seen by a doctor. And there were claims as many as 40 veterans may have died because they didn't get care.

奥巴马总统称这件事非常遗憾，他接受为军队退伍军人福利负责的埃里克·新关[Eric Shinseki]将军的辞职请求。据报告显示，在亚利桑那州的凤凰城，1700名退伍军人一直努力获得初期的医疗预约但一直未被列入等候名单。其他一些人已经花了几个月而不是几周的时间等候看医生。而且有人声称多达40名退伍军人可能已经死亡，因为他们没有得到任何医疗照顾。

The authorities in Libya say they are being overwhelmed by huge increase in the number of people trying to enter Europe illegally. It's thought as many as 300,000 people may be waiting in Libya to cross the Mediterranean. The Libyan coast guard has told the BBC that many are dying on the journey. Paul Adams reports.

利比亚当局称试图非法进入欧洲的人数大量增加，势不可挡。据说多达30万人可能在利比亚等候以渡过地中海。利比亚的海岸线警卫队告诉BBC许多人在该旅程中死亡。保罗·亚当斯[Paul Adams]报道。

The grim scenes in Libya lie at the heart of a complex web of migration routes all of which have Europe as their destination. According to Frontex, the European agency responsible for border security, 42,000 refugees and other migrants entered Europe in the first 4 months of this year, 2/3 of them crossed from Libya. But a month later, the total is much higher. The Italian government says more than 39,000 people have now reached its shores. This means the overall total is now around 60,000, and this is before the peak migration period over the summer.

利比亚的残酷场面是由于复杂的迁徙网络路线都以欧洲作为他们目的地的核心。据Frontex，欧洲负责边境安全的机构所称，今年第一季度4个月有4.2万难民和其他移民进入欧洲，其中3分之2的人从利比亚越过。但一个月之后，总人数更多了。意大利政府表示，超过3.9万人已经到达其海岸。这意味着总人数现在将近6万人，而这是整个夏天的迁徙高峰时期。
