政府即将公布长期延迟的调查报告,该报告针对阿布扎比收购《每日电讯报》的失败尝试展开调查——此举可能因安迪·伯纳姆与曼彻斯特城队所有者之间的争议,进一步加剧与阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的紧张关系。

The government is to publish the long-delayed results of probes into Abu Dhabi's failed attempt to buy The Daily Telegraph - a move which risks stoking tensions with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) amid a row over Andy Burnham's links to the owners of Manchester City.

天空新闻获悉,媒体监管机构Ofcom于2024年撰写的一份报告即将最早于周五发布。该报告评估了RedBird IMI收购《每日电讯报》系列报纸对公众利益的潜在影响。

Sky News has learnt that a report written in 2024 by Ofcom, the media regulator, which assessed the public interest implications of a takeover of the Telegraph newspaper titles by RedBird IMI is to be released as early as Friday.

据称,Ofcom的报告得出结论:RedBird IMI收购《每日电讯报》和《周日电讯报》将违背公众利益,因为人们担心这些报纸的编辑独立性可能受到损害。

The Ofcom report is said to have concluded that a takeover of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph by RedBird IMI would be contrary to the public interest because of concerns that the newspapers' editorial independence would risk being compromised.

这是该报告爆炸性内容首次公之于众,而选择在此时公布,很可能进一步恶化两国双边关系。

It is the first time the explosive contents of the report will have become public, with the bilateral relationship between the two countries likely to be further strained by the timing of the decision to publish them.

与此同时,竞争与市场管理局于2024年向政府提交的另一份报告,预计也将由文化、媒体与体育部(DCMS)同步发布。

A separate report submitted to the government in 2024 by the Competition and Markets Authority is expected to be published by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) simultaneously.

《每日电讯报》收购案的调查结果已延迟两年半才公布。上周,《每日电讯报》本身报道称,DCMS副部长麦肯齐女男爵曾在议会承诺,相关报告将“很快”发布。

The publication of the Telegraph takeover probes has been delayed for two-and-a-half years, with the Telegraph itself reporting last week reporting that Baroness Mackenzie, a junior DCMS minister, had committed in parliament to the reports being published "shortly".

这些文件的曝光及其调查结果,可能加剧伯纳姆政府与阿联酋之间的紧张局势。据报道,英国已面临来自海湾地区价值数十亿英镑的投资风险。

The emergence of the documents and their findings threaten to escalate tensions between Mr Burnham's government and the UAE, with billions of pounds of Gulf investment in Britain reportedly already at risk.

在英超前冠军球队被裁定犯有115项财务不当行为罪后,首相已承诺将全面披露自己与曼彻斯特城足球俱乐部所有者之间的往来细节。

The prime minister has pledged to publish full details of his own dealings with the owners of Manchester City Football Club following the former Premier League champions' guilty verdict on 115 charges of financial misconduct.

该俱乐部及其所有者否认任何不当行为,并已就独立委员会的裁决提出上诉。

The club and its owners have denied any wrongdoing and launched an appeal against the judgement by an independent commission.

曼彻斯特大都会前市长伯纳姆最初表示,如果拥有曼城足球俱乐部的阿布扎比王室放弃对俱乐部的所有权,他将会“非常担忧”。

Mr Burnham, the former mayor of Greater Manchester, initially said he would be "really concerned" if the Abu Dhabi royals who own Manchester City were to relinquish ownership of the club.

唐宁街发言人随后试图澄清首相的言论,称:“正如首相所明确表示的,初步判断是严肃的,不能有任何暗示表明有人可以凌驾于规则之上。”

A Downing Street spokesman subsequently sought to clarify the PM's remarks, saying: "As the Prime Minister made clear, the initial judgement is serious and there can't be any suggestion that anyone is above the rules.

过去两周关于曼彻斯特房地产交易以及伯纳姆与哈利杜恩·穆巴拉克(曼城主席兼阿布扎比主权投资基金穆巴达拉首席执行官)互动的进一步披露,被首相的政治对手所利用。

Further revelations in the last fortnight about property deals in Manchester and about Mr Burnham's engagements with Khaldoon Al Mubarak - the Manchester City chairman and head of Abu Dhabi state investment fund Mubadala - have been seized on by the PM's political opponents.

争议的扩大很可能是决定在英阿外交关系处于敏感时期发布Ofcom和CMA报告的一个因素。

The broadening of the controversy is likely to have been one factor in the decision to publish the Ofcom and CMA reports at such a sensitive moment for diplomatic relations between Britain and the UAE.

阿布扎比投资者拥有英国基础设施的广泛部分,并承诺通过主权及其他投资伙伴关系再投入数十亿英镑。

Abu Dhabi investors own swathes of the UK's infrastructure, with pledges of billions of pounds more to come through sovereign and other investment partnerships.

媒体监管机构对红鸟IMI收购《每日电讯报》可能带来的影响表示担忧的披露,在某种程度上并不令人意外。

The disclosure of concerns at the media regulator about the implications of a takeover of the Telegraph newspapers by RedBird IMI will, in some respects, be unsurprising.

新闻自由倡导者、议员以及许多《每日电讯报》记者反对该交易,理由是担心外国国家可能干涉英国的新闻自由。

Press freedom campaigners, Mps and many Telegraph journalists, opposed the deal, citing prospective interference by a foreign state in the British free press.

天空(Sky News的直接母公司)与IMI的合资企业——该企业曾使两家公司共同拥有天空新闻阿拉伯频道——在今年早些时候被解散,因为IMI同意全资收购该业务。天空新闻品牌继续在中东地区通过与IMI的许可协议使用。

A joint venture between Sky - the immediate parent company of Sky News - and IMI which saw the two companies jointly own Sky News Arabia was unwound earlier this year when IMI agreed to take full ownership of the business. The Sky News brand continues to be used in the Middle East under a licensing agreement with IMI.

在《每日电讯报》收购过程中,红鸟IMI承诺该报的记者将享有编辑自由,并以具有法律约束力的承诺作为保障。

During the Telegraph bidding process, RedBird IMI pledged that the newspapers' journalists would have editorial freedom, underpinned by legally binding undertakings.

在南迪的前任卢西·弗雷泽发布公共利益干预通知,要求对收购进行进一步审查之后,出现了这些情况。

Those came after Ms Nandy's predecessor, Lucy Frazer, issued a public interest intervention notice to subject the takeover to further scrutiny.

总部位于美国的体育、媒体和娱乐投资公司红鸟资本原本计划作为少数股东参与该交易,而IMI将持有合资企业75%的股份。

RedBird, the US-based sports, media and entertainment investor, was to have been a minority backer of the deal, with IMI owning a 75% stake in the joint venture.

当南迪介入以限制外国国家对英国报纸的所有权时,该交易宣告破裂。

The transaction fell apart when Ms Nandy intervened to restrict foreign state ownership of British newspapers.

随后,达成了一项新的交易,该交易包括《每日邮报》所有者罗斯柴尔德男爵以及体育流媒体平台DAZN的亿万富翁所有者伦纳德·布拉瓦特尼克的资金。

A new deal was then stitched together which included funding from Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere and Sir Leonard Blavatnik, the billionaire owner of sports streaming platform DAZN.

根据该交易,总部位于阿布扎比的IMI原本将持有电报媒体集团15%的股份。

Under that deal, Abu Dhabi-based IMI would have taken a 15% stake in Telegraph Media Group.

这促使红鸟资本试图全资收购电报本身,但该交易在美资投资者因电报新闻室内部进一步动荡而放弃这笔5亿英镑的交易后告吹。

That prompted RedBird Capital to seek to take full ownership of the Telegraph itself, but that deal faltered when the US-based investor abandoned the £500m deal amid further unrest within the Telegraph newsroom.

随后又进行了数月的谈判,《每日邮报》的所有者最初抢占了有利位置,以收购这些倾向保守的大报。

Months of further negotiations followed, with the Daily Mail's owner initially moving into pole position to acquire the right-leaning broadsheets.

然而,今年3月,德国出版商阿克塞尔·施普林格以5.75亿英镑的出价超越了DMGT,首次将电报纳入德国所有权。

In March this year, however, the German publisher Axel Springer swooped to outbid DMGT with a £575m bid, leading the Telegraph into German ownership for the first time in its history.

一位接近文化大臣的消息人士否认了她曾试图压制Ofcom和CMA报告出版的说法。DCMS和Ofcom均拒绝置评。

A source close to the culture secretary denied suggestions that she had sought to suppress the publication of the Ofcom and CMA reports. The DCMS and Ofcom both declined to comment.
