Some breaking news from the courthouse in Manhattan.

程度副詞

Nicholas Maduro is now in court, has just pleaded not guilty to the charges that have been put against him.

尼古拉斯·馬杜羅現已出庭，他剛對對他提出的指控否認有罪。

Let's go back to Claire Richardson who's in Manhattan.

讓我們回到在曼哈頓的克萊兒·理查森。

Christian, that's very much the timeline we would have expected, this arraignment hearing having started about 17 minutes ago.

克里斯汀，這確實是我們預期的時間表，這次提審聽證會大約在 17 分鐘前開始。

And these typically being fairly short affairs, rights will be read, charges will be read, and

而這些通常都是相當簡短的程序，會宣讀權利、宣讀指控，

then, as you say, the plea entered in this case, not guilty for Nicolas Maduro.

然後，正如你所說，在此案中，尼古拉斯·馬杜羅的認罪是「否認有罪」。

And we do know the BBC's partner stationed CBS News reporting that Maduro entered that courtroom wearing a prison garb, headphones for translations to be made, also with his feet shackled.

我們確實知道 BBC 的合作夥伴 CBS News 報導說，馬杜羅進入法庭時身穿囚服，戴著翻譯耳機，腳上也戴著腳鐐。

His wife Celia had the same clothes on, both their hands unshackled.

他的妻子賽莉亞穿著同樣的衣服，但他們兩人的手都沒有戴腳鐐。

So just to give you a sense of those scenes unfolding in this lower Manhattan courtroom where this arraignment hearing is taking place, I do also want to bring in our correspondent Michelle Fleury, who's been covering this story for us.

所以，為了讓大家對在下曼哈頓法庭發生的這些場景有所瞭解，這次提審聽證會正在那裡舉行，我也想請我們一直在追蹤此事的記者米歇爾·弗勒里加入。

Tell us a little bit about the judge who's presiding over this case, Judge Alvin Hellerstein, quite an interesting character.

能跟我們稍微介紹一下這位主持此案的法官艾爾文·海勒斯坦嗎？他可是個相當有趣的人物。

Yeah, I mean, he has been he's, as you point out, 92 years old.

是啊，我是說，他已經，正如妳所說，92歲了。

He's been sort of working on the bench here for several decades now.

他在這個法庭上任職已經有好幾十年了。

He has plenty of experience of sensitive cases, if you think back to sort of some of those that have taken place in this building handling compensation for victims related to 9, 11.

如果妳回想一下這個建築裡發生過的一些案件，像是處理911事件受害者的賠償，他處理過很多敏感案件，經驗非常豐富。

He was also the judge providing over the case of the film producer Harvey Weinstein.

他也是審理電影製片人哈維·溫斯坦案的法官。

所以，他習慣處理備受矚目的案件。

Another thing particularly relevant here is that over the summer he was the judge who heard the guilty plea from a senior Venezuelan intelligence official who pled guilty.

另一件特別相關的事情是，今年夏天，他審理了一位委內瑞拉高級情報官的認罪。

So the question, the reason that's sort of significant is one, he has experience of kind of dealing with some of these types of charges.

所以，這個問題，之所以有意義，是因為一，他有處理過這類指控的經驗。

I think that there are sort of similar drug charges involved, but

我認為這裡面有一些類似的毒品指控，但是

also whether or not that particular defendant in that case will he cooperate with the U.S.

還有，在那起案件中，被告是否會與美國

justice Department and help them build their case against Nicolas Maduro.

司法部合作，幫助他們建立對尼古拉斯·馬杜羅的指控。

So this is a judge who's kind of familiar with some of the questions around this and there will be lots.

所以，這位法官對這類問題相當熟悉，而且會有許多。

But obviously we've never seen anything quite like this, at least not for many decades, involving obviously the leader of a head of state appearing in federal court facing criminal charges.

但顯然，我們幾十年來從未見過如此情況，尤其是一位國家元首出現在聯邦法院面臨刑事指控。

And I think that speaks to sort of some of the kind of febrile atmosphere we're seeing outside the courthouse right now.

我認為這也反映了我們現在在法院外感受到的那種緊張氣氛。
