英国新闻听力 以色列首相否认受贿, 朝鲜向美递交核计划文件（在线收听）

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has denied accepting bribes of hundreds of thousands of dollars from an American businessman. Mr. Olmert has admitted receiving financial contributions for election campaigns from the businessman before he became Prime Minister, but denied breaking the law.

I was investigated in this matter on suspicion of receiving funds illegally. I look into the eyes of each and everyone of you, and tell you, I never took bribes, never took a dime. I was elected by you, the citizens of Israel, to be Prime Minister, and I do not intend to shake off this responsibility.

North Korea has handed the United States thousands of secret documents relating to its nuclear program. They were given to a visiting team of US negotiators, who will now take them to Washington for examination. The move is seen as potentially a key step towards a deal that would see North Korea fully disclose its nuclear bomb-making past.
