贝克汉姆“愿意谈论”曼联的出售
David Beckham is open to holding talks with potential bidders for Manchester United, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
据知情人士透露，大卫•贝克汉姆(David Beckham)愿意与曼联(Manchester United)的潜在竞购者进行谈判。
Prospective buyers could seek to enlist the former Old Trafford player to boost their chances of taking over the Premier League club. An attempt to win over Beckham would come after the club’s US owners said they were considering a sale that could value it at up to £7bn.
潜在买家可能会寻求争取这位前老特拉福德球员，以增加他们收购这家英超俱乐部的机会。此前曼联的美国老板表示他们正在考虑出售该俱乐部，其估值可能高达70亿英镑。
The former England captain’s history with United and affinity with its fans could prove vital to any bidders if the Glazers go ahead with a deal, the people said. The current owners said they would “consider all strategic alternatives” so an outright sale is not guaranteed.
知情人士说，如果格雷泽家族继续推进交易，这位前英格兰队长在曼联的历史以及对曼联球迷的亲和力可能对任何竞购者都至关重要。目前的所有者表示，他们将“考虑所有的战略选择”，因此不保证会全部售出。

Twin bomb blasts hit bus stations in Jerusalem on Wednesday morning, killing a 15-year-old and injuring at least 15 others, in what Israeli police said they suspected was a co-ordinated terror attack.

爆炸发生在早高峰时间，这是自2016年以来耶路撒冷发生的首次爆炸事件，爆炸发生在以巴紧张局势加剧之际。
Israel’s outgoing prime minister, Yair Lapid, said that an extensive intelligence effort was under way and pledged that the security forces would “find these heinous terrorists, those behind them and those who provided them with weapons”.
以色列即将离任的总理亚伊尔•拉皮德表示，目前正在进行广泛的情报工作，并承诺安全部队将“找到这些令人发指的恐怖分子，他们的幕后黑手以及为他们提供武器的人”。

英国向乌克兰提供
三架“海王”直升机
The UK is stepping up its military support for Ukraine by sending helicopters and ammunition to the country, defence secretary Ben Wallace has said.
英国国防大臣本•华莱士(Ben Wallace)表示，英国正向乌克兰提供直升机和炮弹，以加强对该国的军事支援。
Two British military Sea Kings are on their way to Ukraine while one has already arrived, the Financial Times understands. They will provide search and rescue capabilities, the UK Ministry of Defence said.
英国《金融时报》获悉，两架英国“海王”(Sea King)军用直升机正在前往乌克兰途中，还有一架已经抵达。英国国防部(MoD)表示，这些直升机将提供搜索和救援能力。
The helicopters are the first piloted aircraft given by the UK to Ukraine since February. Few countries have provided aircraft to the country, although Ukraine has pleaded with western allies for fighter jets to defend its skies from Russian attacks.
这是自今年2月以来，英国首次向乌克兰提供有人驾驶的飞机。迄今很少有国家向乌克兰提供飞机，尽管乌克兰恳求西方盟国提供战斗机让其保卫其领空抵挡俄罗斯袭击。

金边债券危机是英国养老基金
损失5000亿英镑的主因
The gilt market rout that forced UK pension funds to rapidly sell assets in September contributed to driving down the value of retirement schemes by as much as £500bn, MPs were told on Wednesday.
英国国会议员周三被告知，英国国债市场崩盘迫使英国养老基金在9月份迅速出售资产，导致退休计划的价值减少了5000亿英镑。
Giving evidence to the Commons’ work and pensions select committee, Iain Clacher, a professor at Leeds University Business School, said based on his calculations “roughly £500bn is probably missing somewhere”.
利兹大学商学院(Leeds University Business School)教授伊恩•克拉切(Iain Clacher)在向下议院就业和养老金特别委员会作证时表示，根据他的计算，“大约有5000亿英镑可能在某个地方消失了”。
“And this isn’t a paper loss,” he added. “This is a real loss because pension funds were selling assets to meet the collateral calls.”
“这不是账面损失，”他补充说。“这是一个真正的损失，因为养老基金在出售资产以满足抵押品要求。”
