[BBC新闻听写]6月6日 美国空军总参谋长和空军部长同时辞职
 Dictation
 The Military and Civilian heads of the United States Air Force have been dismissed following publication of a report into mistakes in the handling of nuclear weapons and their components. The Defense Secretary Robert Gates accepted the resignations of the Air Force Secretary Michael Wynne and the Chief-of-Staff General Michael Moseley. Kevin Connolly reports from Washington.

 

The United States Air Force finds found itself at the center of a string of uncomfortable news stories last year. In the most serious, B52 strategic bomber carried a load of nuclear weapons through American Airspace’s Base without the knowledge of the aircraft’s crew. At about the same time, a consignment of ballistic missile fuses were sent to a Taiwanese customer, who’d ordered helicopter batteries. Mr. Gates saw the incidents as an alarming rather than a millionmerely embarrassing, and said they drew attention to a failure of accountability in control and in what he called the air force’s most important mission, the struiship stewardship of America’s nuclear weapons.
