Tens of thousands of Egyptians are gathered in Cairo and across the country to protest against the verdicts on the former President Hosni Mubarak and his co-defendants . In Alexandria, Egypt's second city, and in Qena, in the south, protesters demanded the execution of those charged. Protesters in Tahrir Square waved flags and chanted "Revolution, revolution". Mr Mubarak and his hated former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly were sentenced to life for complicity in the killing of protesters during last year's uprising. However, six security chiefs were acquitted , and Mubarak and his sons were cleared of corruption. Political groups have called for a massive turnout to denounce what they see as undue leniency . Our Cairo correspondent Jon Leyne assesses the trial and how it could affect the forthcoming second round of the presidential election.
A verdict that was meant to bring closure for Egypt is in danger of just reopening old wounds and dividing the country once again. It is above all a really confusing ruling: why convict the former president for ordering the killing of protesters, then acquit those further down the chain of command who logically would have had to carry out the orders. Egyptians naturally suspected conspiracy, the hand that the old regime had played, but maybe it was just where the evidence led in what was certainly a very flawed trial, so to the presidential election in two weeks' time. One candidate, former general Ahmed Shafik, has called for the verdict to be respected. The other candidate, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, has called for mass demonstrations against it.
The conflict in Syria has led to fighting between rival factions in neighbouring Lebanon. Ten people are reported to have been killed and more than 20 wounded in the city of Tripoli. Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
The Tripoli clashes, involving small-arms fire, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, erupted on Friday night and continued into Saturday despite efforts by the authorities to calm the situation and insert security forces to keep the two sides apart. It's the most intensive flare-up since tensions over Syria broke into violence in Tripoli last month when 10 people were killed over nearly a week. The fighting is between local Alawites, who support the Alawite-dominated regime in Syria, and Sunnis, who back the Syrian uprising and have been accused of allowing guns to be smuggled to the mainly Sunni rebels across the border.
Pakistani officials say American air strikes have killed two suspected militants in the tribal region of South Waziristan. Reports say the men were senior commanders linked to a faction of the Pakistani Taliban, headed by the warlord Mullah Nazir. It was the sixth American drone attack in Pakistan in two weeks. In April, the Pakistani parliament demanded the US stop such attacks.

The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres says there's been a sharp increase in the number of refugees arriving in South Sudan, fleeing fighting north of the border. Between 2,000 and 4,000 people are crossing daily from Blue Nile province to escape fighting between the government in Khartoum and rebel forces. Here's our Africa editor Martin Plaut.
Three giant camps in South Sudan are already hosting 70,000 people who fled from the north. They bring with them tales of attacks by air and land by the Sudanese armed forces. Many of the children arrive severely sick and malnourished, but the camps are already stretched to breaking point . Having adequate water supplies and making room for this fresh influx will be hard.
Four days of celebrations have begun in Britain to mark the Diamond Jubilee of the Queen's reign. The formal ceremonies opened with a 41-gun salute outside the Tower of London to mark the anniversary of her coronation . The Queen herself went to the races and saw the horse Camelot win the Epsom Derby. Nicholas Witchell was there.
In 1900, a horse called Diamond Jubilee won the derby. One hundred and twelve years later, the derby marked the official start of the Diamond Jubilee weekend of celebrations. Tomorrow 1,000 boats will form up on the Thames in the biggest river pageant for several centuries. On Monday, stars will be performing at a concert outside Buckingham Palace. And on Tuesday after a service of thanksgiving at St Paul's Cathedral, the Queen will ride in a carriage procession from parliament back to the palace.
The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged countries taking to exploit the resources of the Arctic to agree what she called the "rules of the road" to prevent future conflicts. Speaking in Norway, Mrs Clinton called on fellow Arctic nations to work together to ensure environmentally responsible development.

成千上萬埃及人在開羅和全國集會，抗議對前總統(tǒng)穆巴拉克和其同案被告的判決。在埃及第二大城市亞歷山大和南部的Qena，抗議者要求處決罪人。塔里爾廣場 的抗議者揮舞旗幟，高呼“革命、革命”。穆巴拉克及其前內(nèi)政部長阿德利被判終身監(jiān)禁，罪名是在去年的起義中殺害抗議者。然而，6名安全部長被判無罪，穆巴 拉克及其兒子們被撇清腐敗罪。政治組織要求舉行大規(guī)模集會，譴責(zé)他們所謂的“過分寬大處理”。BBC開羅記者Jon Leyne評價了這場審判及其對即將舉行的第二輪總統(tǒng)選舉的影響。

埃及即將結(jié)束的判決有將舊傷口解開，再次分裂該國的危險。不管怎么說，這都是個令人迷惑的判決：為何之前確認前總統(tǒng)下令殺害抗議者，但卻宣布那些在邏輯上 實施這一命令的人無罪呢？埃及人自然懷疑舊政權(quán)的陰謀，但或許這正是說明審判有誤的證據(jù)，同時兩周后舉行的總統(tǒng)選舉也不妥。候選人之一前將軍沙菲克呼吁尊 重這一判決。而另一位候選人，穆斯林兄弟組織的Mohamed Morsi呼吁舉行大游行反對這個判決。

的黎波里的沖突開始于周五，期間有小型武器射擊、機槍和火箭手榴彈轟炸，盡管當(dāng)局試圖平息局勢，并派遣安全部隊分開兩派，但到周六戰(zhàn)斗仍在繼續(xù)。上月敘利 亞緊張局勢蔓延至的黎波里，一周內(nèi)就有10人死亡，這次沖突是自此以來最嚴重的沖突。這次戰(zhàn)斗發(fā)生在支持敘利亞阿拉維派主導(dǎo)政權(quán)的當(dāng)?shù)匕⒗S派和支持敘利 亞起義的遜尼派之間，遜尼派因允許走私武器越境進入主要遜尼派部落而備受指責(zé)。
