The United States says an American drone attack in Pakistan has killed al-Qaeda's second-in-command Abu Yahya al-Libi. It stressed that this was the second time in a year the US had taken out such a senior figure. Senior officials described Abu Yahya al-Libi as one of the group's most experienced and versatile leaders, and said there was no one who came close in terms of replacing him. The White House spokesman Jay Carney said al-Libi's death had dealt a heavy blow to the organisation.
"His death is part of the degradation that has been taking place to core al-Qaeda during the past several years, and that degradation has depleted the ranks to such an extent that there is now no clear successor to take on the breadth of his responsibilities. And that puts additional pressure on al-Qaeda's post-bin Laden leader, Zawahiri, to try to manage the group in an effective way."
The lower house of the Russian parliament has passed a controversial law which would impose new restrictions on public protests. The ruling party United Russia wants to restrict where demonstrations take place and what form they take. The new legislation would also sharply increase fines for unauthorised protests. The bill will be debated by the upper house on Wednesday, but a BBC correspondent says there's little doubt it'll be adopted.
Queen Elizabeth has described the events marking her Diamond Jubilee as a "humbling experience". In a televised message, she said she'd been touched deeply by seeing so many people celebrating together.
"I hope that memories of all this year's happy events will brighten our lives for many years to come. I will continue to treasure and draw inspiration from the countless kindnesses shown to me in this country and throughout the Commonwealth."
Earlier, hundreds of thousands cheered the monarch as she appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, and a flypast by the Royal Air Force roared overhead. Jane Peel watched the events.
It was the climax of four days of celebrations: the appearance of the Queen on the Buckingham Palace balcony and an RAF flypast , which included World War II aircraft, and the Red Arrows trailing red, white and blue smoke. Tens of thousands of well-wishers stood in the rain, waving Union flags. Earlier, the Queen attended a thanksgiving service at St Paul's, at which the archbishop of Canterbury paid tribute to her 60 years of service and offered prayers for Prince Philip. With her consort being treated in hospital, the Queen was accompanied by her eldest son and his wife for the open-topped carriage procession back to her London home.
The Queen's youngest son, Prince Edward, has visited Prince Philip in hospital. He said his father was recovering from an infection and in good spirits.

The United Nations says the Syrian government has agreed to allow aid agencies to set up field operations in four provinces that have seen the most intense violence. A UN aid official said the government agreed in writing to allow convoys with supplies to go into Homs, Idlib, Deraa and Deir al-Zour. He said that implementation would be a test of the good faith of the Syrian authorities.
Thousands of Egyptians are in Tahrir Square in Cairo to protest against what they see as lenient sentences for the ousted President Mubarak and several of his closest aides. The protesters are urging a renewal of the revolution that toppled Mr Mubarak, who on Saturday received a life sentence but not the death penalty many Egyptians demanded. Two of the unsuccessful contenders in the first round of presidential elections have joined the protest.
The government of Cyprus, which is a member of the eurozone, says it might need a bailout from the European Union to save its banking system. Cyprus has been struggling with high unemployment and austerity measures. Karen Hoggan reports.
The European Financial Stability Facility is a fund set up to bailout eurozone economies which run into trouble. The admission by a Cypriot government spokesman that Cyprus may have to tap into it adds to the speculation which has been gathering pace over the past few days that the country could have to seek aid. The economy of Cyprus has been particularly affected by the worsening situation in Greece. Cypriot banks are exposed to Greek bonds to the tune of nearly $30bn. That's more than the entire economic output of Cyprus.
Voters in the American state of Wisconsin are voting today to decide if the Republican state governor Scott Walker should be thrown out of office. Mr Walker provoked anger with reforms to public sector pay and trade union rights. Today's extraordinary election is only the third so-called recall vote for a state governor in US history.

聯(lián)合國稱一家美國無人機在巴基斯坦發(fā)動襲擊，殺死基地組織副指揮官阿布·葉海亞·利比。聯(lián)合國強調(diào)說，這是一年內(nèi)美國第二次擊斃這樣高級人物。高級官員稱阿布·葉海亞·利比是該組織最久經(jīng)考驗最多才的領導人，無人可以取代他。白宮發(fā)言人杰伊·卡尼說，利比之死給了基地組織一次重擊。
"His death is part of the degradation that has been taking place to core al-Qaeda during the past several years, and that degradation has depleted the ranks to such an extent that there is now no clear successor to take on the breadth of his responsibilities. And that puts additional pressure on al-Qaeda's post-bin Laden leader, Zawahiri, to try to manage the group in an effective way."
“利比之死是過去幾年間削弱基地組織核心力量行動的一部分，這次打擊使該組織高層空虛，沒有確定的繼承人可以勝任他的職責。這給本拉登死后繼任的扎瓦希里增加了新的壓力，使他難以有效管理該組織。”

俄羅斯眾議院通過一項有爭議的法律，該法對公眾抗議施加了新的限制。執(zhí)政的統(tǒng)一俄羅斯黨希望限制游行的地點和形式，新法將大大增加對未授權(quán)抗議的懲罰。這項法案將于周三在上議院進行辯論，但BBC記者稱毫無疑問會通過該法案。

伊麗莎白女王稱她的鉆石慶典盛事為“一次令人謙恭的經(jīng)歷”。她在電視講話中說，看到這么多人前來慶祝，她很是感動。

“我希望這整個一年的樂事將照亮我們未來幾年的生活，對于這個國家及整個英聯(lián)邦給予我的無限善意，我會繼續(xù)珍視并從中吸取動力。”

在開羅塔里爾廣場，數(shù)千埃及人抗議對已廢總統(tǒng)穆巴拉克及幾名親信所謂的“過分寬大處理”?？棺h者呼吁再來一次推翻穆巴拉克這樣的革命，周六，穆巴拉克被判終身監(jiān)禁，而不是許多埃及人要求的死刑。第一輪總統(tǒng)選舉中兩名失敗的競選者也參加了這次抗議。

歐元區(qū)成員國塞浦路斯的政府稱，可能需要歐盟的援助資金來拯救其銀行系統(tǒng)。塞浦路斯一直苦于應付高失業(yè)和緊縮政策。凱倫·霍德倫報道。

歐洲金融穩(wěn)定基金是為救援陷入困境的歐元區(qū)經(jīng)濟體而建立的基金組織。塞浦路斯政府發(fā)言人稱本國可能會利用這項資金，這讓人們不由得比過去幾天多了幾分猜想，猜測該國可能會尋求援助。塞浦路斯的經(jīng)濟受希臘經(jīng)濟惡化的影響尤為嚴重，其銀行持有希臘債券高達近300億美元。這比塞浦路斯整個經(jīng)濟產(chǎn)出都要多。

美國威斯康星州選民今天投票決定共和黨州長斯科特·沃克是否應辭職。沃克因改革公共部門薪酬和公會權(quán)利而激起民憤，今天的選舉很不尋常，是美國歷史上第三次僅有的所謂的“罷免投票”。
