Investigators seek clues to cause of deadly train collision
调查人员查找火车撞击事故原因
Investigators at the scene of a lethal train accident in White Plains are still trying to sort out what happened. Authorities are calling it one of the worst rail crashes in decades in the area. During Tuesday's rush hour just north of New York City -- the Metro-North train hit a car at a railroad crossing. The driver of the car and five train passengers were all killed. There is still no word on why the car was stopped. Authorities say hundreds of feet of electrified rail skewered the first two carriages of the train. Many of the injured were taken to Westchester Medical Center University Hospital where Dr. Ivan Miller says they treated a wide array of injuries.

亲俄分裂分子的战争不断拓展，他们正在走出乌克兰东部一个城镇。基辅的西方联盟对叛军近几周来的推进提高警惕——这几乎使维持了五个月的停火协议宣布告终。他们登上乌克兰应急部门提供的巴士，德国总理默克尔承认，形势正在不断恶化，她继续奋力争取外交解决方案。
(SOUNDBITE) (German) GERMAN CHANCELLOR, ANGELA MERKEL, SAYING: "The negotiation process has not yet failed, but it does not lead to results that quickly as we would like. And the situation has become indeed much more serious. But the attempt of diplomatic efforts must continue."
德国总理默克尔：“谈判进程还未失败，但是也没有取得我们想要的结果。形势确实已经变得更加糟糕。但是外交方面的努力必须继续。”
But with the battlefield expanding in the east -- there is now talk that the U.S. may provide arms to Ukraine with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry due to visit Kiev Thursday. But the prospect of new arms raises the risk of escalating the war in a conflict that has already killed more than 5,000 people.
但是随着东部的战场不断拓展，有消息称美国或许会为乌克兰提供武器。美国国务卿约翰·克里即将于周四访问基辅。但是新增武器供应的可能性导致战争有升级的风险。这场冲突已经造成超过5000人死亡。
