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.

奧巴馬總統稱這件事非常遺憾，他接受為軍隊退伍軍人福利負責的埃里克·新關[Eric Shinseki]將軍的辭職請求。據報告顯示，在亞利桑那州的鳳凰城，1700名退伍軍人一直努力獲得初期的醫療預約但一直未被列入等候名單。其他一些人已經花了幾個月而不是幾周的時間等候看醫生。而且有人聲稱多達40名退伍軍人可能已經死亡，因為他們沒有得到任何醫療照顧。

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.

利比亞當局稱試圖非法進入歐洲的人數大量增加，勢不可擋。據說多達30萬人可能在利比亞等候以渡過地中海。利比亞的海岸線警衛隊告訴BBC許多人在該旅程中死亡。保羅·亞當斯[Paul Adams]報道。

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.

利比亞的殘酷場面是由于復雜的遷徙網絡路線都以歐洲作為他們目的地的核心。據Frontex，歐洲負責邊境安全的機構所稱，今年第一季度4個月有4.2萬難民和其他移民進入歐洲，其中3分之2的人從利比亞越過。但一個月之后，總人數更多了。意大利政府表示，超過3.9萬人已經到達其海岸。這意味著總人數現在將近6萬人，而這是整個夏天的遷徙高峰時期。
