**日本天皇庆祝80大寿**
日本天皇明仁庆祝了他的80大寿，在东京皇宫的一座阳台向大批人群挥手致意。
星期一，明仁天皇在家人的左右陪伴下对大约两万五千名民众说，他为所有的人祈祷来年幸福。
为了庆祝天皇生日，一份天皇在上星期的一次记者会上讲话视频在星期一公布于众。
当被问到什么事情对他人生的影响最大时，明仁天皇说，他脑子里想到的是第二次世界大战。他说，这么多人这么年轻就失去了生命，这让他深深感到痛苦。
日皇在二战之后被架空，不过，多数民众对天皇保持着高度尊重。
**Japan Emperor Celebrates 80th Birthday**
Japanese Emperor Akihito has celebrated his 80th birthday, waving to a huge crowd from a balcony at the Imperial Palace in Tokyo.
Flanked by his family Monday, Emperor Akihito told the crowd of some 25,000 people that he prayed the coming year will be a good year for all.
To mark the birthday, video of the emperor speaking at a news conference last week was released Monday.
When asked about what had made a significant impact on his life, Akihito said World War Two stood out in his mind. He said it pains him deeply to think that so many people lost their lives at a young age.
The Japanese throne is held in deep respect by much of the public, despite being stripped of much of its status following World War Two.
**南苏丹：夺回控制权只是“时间问题”**
南苏丹民兵说，亲政府武装力量从叛乱分子手中夺回两个州首府的控制权只是“时间问题”。
南苏丹军方发言人阿古尔对美国之音说，支持副总统马查尔的士兵控制了琼莱州首府
博尔和西上尼罗州首府班提乌，但军方有能力应对叛军。
阿古尔还指责支持马查尔的战斗人员上星期六向疏散博尔平民的一架美国飞机开枪。美国军方没有查明开枪者的身份，但表示有四名美国人受伤。
**South Sudan: 'Matter of Time' Until Army Recaptures Control**
South Sudan's military says it is "a matter of time" before pro-government forces retake control of two state capitals from rebels.
Army spokesman Philip Aguer told VOA that soldiers backing former vice president Riek Machar control Bor in Jonglei state and Bentiu in oil-rich Unity state, but that the military is "capable of dealing with the rebellion."
He also accused fighters backing Machar of shooting at a U.S. aircraft that was evacuating citizens from Bor on Saturday. The U.S. military did not identify the shooters, but said four of its personnel were injured.
