轉承詞

Well, let's stay with this and more breaking developments because the Ministry of Defense have just made a statement in the last few moments confirming that British armed forces provided support to the US operation to seize the Manara tanker, including RAF surveillance and a support ship that has come from the Ministry of Defense.

好的，我們來繼續關注這則最新發展，因為國防部在剛剛發布了一份聲明，證實英國武裝部隊曾支援美方行動，以扣押 Manara 油輪，其中包括英國皇家空軍的監控以及一艘來自國防部的支援船。

That is the vessel that they are talking about, one of the two Venezuelan tankers that have been seized.

這就是他們說的那艘船，是兩艘被扣押的委內瑞拉油輪之一。

Let's go straight to Westminster, straight to our political correspondent Jack Fenwick.

我們直接連線到西敏寺，連線我們的政治記者 Jack Fenwick。

We've had confirmation in the last few minutes as you say, that the UK did provide support to US forces when that operation to seize that tanker was happening.

正如你所說，我們在幾分鐘前收到了確認，英國確實為美方部隊提供了支援，當時那次扣押油輪的行動正在進行。

Now I don't think it comes as a huge surprise when we sort of started hearing that the US may try and seize this tanker.

我認為這並不令人太意外，因為我們開始聽到美國可能會試圖扣押這艘油輪。

In the last couple of days there have been questions asked about whether the UK could, could potentially be involved given whereabouts in the world that tanker was.

過去幾天，有人質疑英國是否可能涉入，考量到那艘油輪當時在哪裡。

我們剛剛收到了國防部的一份聲明。

They say UK Armed Forces provided pre planned operational supports.

他們說英國武裝部隊提供了預先規劃的作戰支援。

They were involved in the state planning stages before that operation as well.

他們在那次行動之前，也參與了國家規劃的階段。

They say that RFA Tide Force provided support to the American forces.

他們說，RFA Tide Force 號為美方部隊提供了支援。

Now, RFA Tide Force is a vessel that's often used to provide logistical support to the Royal Navy.

現在，RFA Tide Force 號是一艘經常被用來為英國皇家海軍提供後勤支援的船艦。

And they also say that the RAF provided surveillance support for from the air.

他們也說，英國皇家空軍從空中提供了監控支援。

So British planes being used there as well.

所以英國的飛機也在那裡被使用。

We've also had words from the Defense Secretary, John Healey in the last few moments.

在過去幾分鐘，我們也聽到了國防大臣約翰·希利的說法。

He said today our UK armed forces showed skill and professionalism in support of a successful US interception of the vessel Bela 1 while on its way to Russia.

他說，今天我們的英國武裝部隊在支援美方成功攔截正前往俄羅斯的 Bela 1 船艦時，展現了技巧和專業。

He said this action formed part of global efforts to crack down on sanctions busting.

他說，這項行動是打擊規避制裁全球努力的一部分。

Now, as I say, these questions have started to be asked of the UK government whether they were involved earlier in the day.

現在，正如我所說，英國政府已經開始被質疑他們是否在當天稍早就有參與。

At lunchtime today, there was a briefing from Downing street officials for journalists.

今天午餐時間，唐寧街官員為記者們舉行了簡報會。

Now that happened just after Prime Minister's questions when the news was just breaking that the US had launched this operation.

這件事發生在首相答問時間之後，當時美國發動這次行動的消息才剛傳開。

Now at the time, the Downing street officials weren't providing any details.

當時，唐寧街官員並沒有提供任何細節。

They were saying that they were not able to talk about the operational activity of a third country, even if that was involving them using British bases.

他們說，他們無法談論第三國的軍事行動，即使這涉及到他們使用英國的基地。

But we have just had that confirmation in the last few moments that the UK was involved in in that operation.

但在過去幾分鐘，我們剛收到英國參與這次行動的確認。

Both planes being involved and involved in the pre planning stages as well.

兩架飛機都參與了，而且也參與了前期的規劃階段。

Jack, I've got the full statement in front of me now from the mod and it includes assessments as well.

Jack，我現在手上有國防部（mod）的完整聲明，裡面也包含評估。

And it says that the Bella one is sanctioned by the US under its counter Iran sanctions aimed at stopping Iran from fuelling instability in the Middle East.

聲明中提到，Bela one 船艦受到美國依據其反伊朗制裁的制裁，目的是阻止伊朗在中東煽動不穩定。

They also talk about recent assessments showing that the Bellawan have been involved in illegal activity linked to the international terrorism and crimes, including Hezbollah, as part of a web of rising shadow activity that fuels and finances nefarious activity across the globe.

他們也談到最近的評估顯示，Bellawan 船艦涉嫌參與與國際恐怖主義和犯罪有關的非法活動，包括真主黨，這是日益嚴重的影子活動網絡的一部分，為全球的邪惡活動提供燃料和資金。

it's no great surprise repeating some of the main lines that we've heard from the Americans.

這點一點都不意外，重申了我們從美國那裡聽到的主要說法。

As you say, I think given they have confirmed that British forces were involved, it's not a surprise that they are going to repeat the lines used by the Americans.

就像你說的，我認為既然他們已經證實英國軍隊有參與，那麼重複美國的說法也就不足為奇了。

But I think also, you know, we've got to see this in the context of the sort of various events that have happened in the last few days.

但我也認為，你知道，我們必須將這件事放在過去幾天發生的各種事件的背景下來看。

Remember when it came to the US Launching that action in Venezuela a few days ago, the UK haven't criticized that, but

還記得幾天前美國在委內瑞拉採取行動時，英國並沒有批評，

also were very keen to say that UK Forces were not involved in that.

但也急於表示英國軍隊並未參與其中。

Now, obviously with this, it's a different matter.

Now, that may well be because of geography.

嗯，這很可能是因為地理位置的關係。

We know that that vessel, that tanker, was pretty close to the UK that's why those questions had started being asked.

我們知道那艘船、那艘油輪，離英國相當近，這也是為什麼這些問題開始被提出。

But yeah, very much echoing the sort of language used by the United States when justifying why it was right to get involved in this action today.

但是的，這非常呼應了美國在為今天介入這項行動的合理性辯護時所使用的語言。

Jack, thanks very much for the latest there from Westminster.

Jack，非常感謝你從西敏寺帶來的最新消息。

I just want to go back to Texas, that roundtable that I said was just about to get underway there.

我想回到德州，回到我剛剛說的那個圓桌會議，它馬上就要開始了。

I just want to put the sound up and hear if she already is referencing this operation perpetuated fraud of our benefit programs and programs that were created to serve the most vulnerable people in our country, to give them health care, to help developmentally disabled individuals.

我想把聲音開大一點，聽聽她是否已經提到了這次行動，這次行動對我們的福利計畫和為我們國家最弱勢的群體設立的計畫進行了詐騙，這些計畫是為了給他們提供醫療保健，幫助發展遲緩的個人。

Not only were they here illegally and broke our immigration laws, but

他們不僅非法居留並違反了我們的移民法，而且

then they came here and stole from the American.

Well, Kristina, talking about domestic issues, I would just stay with this for a few moments in case she gets asked or takes the conversation to these oil tankers because she posted that long post that I read out a little earlier detailing both the operations.

好的，Kristina，說到國內議題，我會在這裡停留一下，以防她被問到或將對話轉移到這些油輪上，因為她發布了那篇長文，我稍早唸了出來，詳細說明瞭這兩次行動。

And if she turns to that, we will return to Texas and get the very latest.

而如果她轉向那邊，我們會回到德州，取得最新消息。
