Doctors in Egypt say four people have been shot dead in the city of Suez during clashes between anti-government protesters and security forces. The unrest broke out as mass rallies were held across the country to mark the second anniversary of the uprising that toppled Hosni Mubarak. The demonstrators accused both the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamist President Mohamed Morsi of betraying the promises of the revolution. Shahira Amin, an Egyptian journalist, told the BBC about the demonstrations she’d seen in Tahrir Square.

在埃及蘇伊士,反政府抗議者和安全部隊發(fā)生沖突,醫(yī)生稱四人中彈身亡。動亂發(fā)生之時,整個埃及正舉行大規(guī)模集會紀(jì)念推翻侯賽因·穆巴拉克兩周年。游 行者指責(zé)穆斯林兄弟組織和伊斯蘭總統(tǒng)穆罕默德·穆爾西被判革命承諾。埃及記者Shahira Amin告訴BBC自己在塔里爾廣場的所見所聞。
Streets around Tahrir Square, in the vicinity, these have been turned into battlefield between the opposition activists and the security forces. It all started when the opposition activists tried to break down the barrier—a cement barrier that the security forces had put up-- and then that was rebuilt again and they started throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails and police fired tear canisters.
塔里爾廣場附近的大街已經(jīng)成為反對派活動人士和安全部隊的戰(zhàn)場。反對派活動人士試圖沖破安全部隊建造后又重建的水泥障礙,游行者開始投擲石塊和燃燒彈,于是警察動用催淚彈來對付,沖突由此開始。
The Egyptian health ministry has reported that more than 186 people were injured in skirmishes in cities across Egypt.
In Mali government and French troops have retaken the town of Hombori from Islamist rebels. The town is about 160km from the Islamist stronghold of Gao. Earlier French warplanes bombed rebel positions and ammunition dumps in the region. Richard Hamilton has been following developments.
埃及衛(wèi)生部報道稱,186人在埃及各地城市的小沖突中受傷。
馬里政府軍和法國軍隊從起義軍手中奪回洪博里鎮(zhèn),該鎮(zhèn)距離伊斯蘭據(jù)點加奧160公里。早些時候,法國戰(zhàn)機轟炸了該地區(qū)的叛軍據(jù)點和彈藥庫。理查德·漢密爾頓報道。
The retaking of Hombori is a significant incursion into previously rebel-held territory as French and Malian troops advanced towards the north and in particular the city of Gao. Rebels have blown up a bridge which lies along the road from Niger to Gao. This was intended to make it difficult for around 2,000 Chadian and 500 Nigerien troops to enter Mali from Niger.
此時法國和馬里軍隊正朝北部挺進,尤其是向加奧邁進,因此對此前被叛軍占領(lǐng)的地區(qū)來說,重奪洪博里鎮(zhèn)具有重大意義。叛軍炸毀了尼日爾到加奧道路旁邊的一座橋,目的是給希望從尼日爾進駐馬里的2000名乍得士兵和500名尼日爾士兵增加困難。
The Russian parliament has almost unanimously given an initial approval to a controversial draft law which critics say would significantly restrict gay rights. The bill would make it illegal to provide information on homosexuality to minors and to hold events to promote gay rights. Steve Rosenberg has more from the Russian capital Moscow.
俄羅斯議會幾乎全體一致初步審批一項有爭議的法律草案,批評者稱該法律將嚴(yán)重限制同性戀權(quán)利。這項法案規(guī)定,向未成年人提供同性戀信息及舉行同性戀活動都是非法的。史蒂夫·羅森博格在俄羅斯首都莫斯科報道。
Ahead of the debates inside the Russian parliament, there was drama outside on the street. Anti-gay protesters chanted “Moscow is not Sodom”. In response gay-rights activists shouted “Fascism won’t succeed” and were duly pelted with eggs. Later the controversial bill passed its first hearing. If it eventually becomes law, it will prohibit the spread of what’s termed “homosexual propaganda” in the presence of children. The wording is vague, but it would probably mean that across Russia public events promoting gay rights would be broken up and the organisers fined.
就在俄羅斯議會開始辯論之前,議會外大街上正上演鬧劇。反同性戀抗議者高呼“莫斯科不是罪惡之地”,而同性戀權(quán)力者高呼“法西斯主義不會成功”,然 后就被人投以雞蛋。隨后這項有爭議的法案通過了首次聽審,如果最終成為法律,該法將禁止在兒童面前傳播所謂的“同性戀宣傳”。該法的措辭很模糊,但可能意 味著在整個俄羅斯,公眾場合宣揚同性戀權(quán)利將不允許,組織者將被處以罰款。

Portugal says more than two per cent of its population has emigrated in the past two years since the country entered the worst recession in decades. A secretary of state said most of the emigrants were young and highly-educated people who’d found jobs in Switzerland and Portugal’s oil-rich former colony Angola. He said the outflow of people would have been even greater if job prospects had been better in other EU countries, many of which have high unemployment.
葡萄牙稱由于本國陷入幾十年來最嚴(yán)重的衰退,過去兩年已有2%以上的人口移民。國務(wù)大臣稱大多數(shù)移民者是年輕人和受過高等教育的人,他們已在瑞士和 葡萄牙的原殖民地—石油國家安哥拉找到了工作。他說如果歐洲其他國家的就業(yè)前景更好的話,這種人口外流現(xiàn)象會更嚴(yán)重,而這些國家的失業(yè)率大都已很高。
One of Brazil’s most wanted drug traffickers has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. Antonio Francisco Bonfim Lopes, also known as Nem, headed a drug gang in Rocinha, a sprawling poor neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. Police found Nem hiding in a car driving out of Rocinha.

Marine archaeologists working on a wreck off the coast Sicily have raised five large cannons dating back to the early 1700s. They are believed to be from a British ship sunk in 1718 at the Battle of Passaro. Alan Johnston reports.
海洋考古學(xué)家在西西里島海岸發(fā)掘五個可追溯到18世紀(jì)早期的加農(nóng)炮,據(jù)悉是一艘英國船艦在1718年帕薩羅戰(zhàn)役戰(zhàn)役中沉沒的。艾倫·約翰斯頓報道。
The wreck is in clear waters off the town of Avola and photographs taken by divers show that the guns were lying barely covered by fine sand. They’ve been cleaned up and they are in such comparatively fine condition that in some places the barrels still gleam in the light. And the effort to identify the guns has been helped by part of an inscription on the handle of a piece of cutlery found nearby. Under what looks like an English rose, it’s possible to make out the letters L-O-N-D-O. The full word would surely read London.
這些加農(nóng)炮是在阿沃拉鎮(zhèn)附近的安全水域發(fā)現(xiàn)的,潛水者拍的照片顯示大炮上僅覆蓋了一層細(xì)沙。沙子清除后,這些大炮看起來保存完好,炮管的一些部分仍 在眼光下閃光。大炮附近發(fā)現(xiàn)的餐具上的刻字幫助考古學(xué)家這些辨別大炮的來歷,在一朵看上去像英國玫瑰的圖案下面,可以看到字母L-O-N-D-O,因此這 個單詞的全稱肯定是“倫敦”。
South African police have appealed to people used to handling crocodiles to help find and recapture more than 10,000 of the reptiles that escaped from a breeding farm after heavy rain and floods. The owner of the crocodile farm opened the gates to prevent a storm surge. Farm workers have so far retrieved more than 2,000.
