本篤十六世的教皇職位已正式結束，本尼迪克是600年來首位辭職的教皇，他向職權交給了副手。本尼迪克將居住在羅馬南部的宮殿，同時一批紅衣主教將選出羅馬天主教堂的下屆教皇。詹姆斯·羅賓斯報道。
A bell chimed the hour of the Castel Gandolfo, the Papal summer residence, the Swiss Guards swung shut and bolted the massive outer doors, they saluted and hung up their halberts. Inside, out of sight, Benedict has ceased to be head of the Catholic Church. There will be no pontiff to protect until the Cardinal electors chose his successor in a few weeks time. Earlier, Benedict XVI used the last few hours as Pope to greet each of the Cardinals in turn. He acknowledged that his eight years in power had seen both radiant light and clouds darkening the sky over the Church.
在教皇的夏日別墅岡多菲堡，鐘聲響起了，瑞士警衛(wèi)慢慢關上巨大的外門并推上門閂，他們舉起手中的戟致禮。本尼迪克已不再是天主教堂的首領，紅衣主教選舉人將在數周內選出繼承人，到那時才有新教皇。早些時候，本篤十六世利用擔任教皇的最后幾個小時接待了每位紅衣主教。他承認在自己八年的任職期間，羅馬教堂既沐浴在陽光中，但也有陰雨籠罩的時候。
The US soldier accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of documents to the Wikileaks website has pleaded not guilty to the charge of aiding the enemy. But Bradley Manning ended a guilty plea to lesser charges. Here's Paul Adams.
因向維基解密網站泄露數十萬份文件的美國士兵布拉德利·曼寧拒不承認通敵指控，但他不再向其他較輕指控進行有罪答辯。保羅·亞當斯報道。
Bradley Manning doesn't deny providing Wikileaks with around half a million classified documents, but he does dispute the charge that he did this to aid America's enemies. As expected he said he was pleading guilty to 10 of the 22 charges against him. If the judge accepts his plea, Private Manning could still face up to 20 years in prison, but not the life sentence the government is seeking. He said he had wanted to start a public debate about the role of the military and about foreign policy in general. The classified documents represented, what he called, the underground realities of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
布拉德利·曼寧承認向維基解密提供近50萬分秘密文件，但他否認這是為了幫助美國的敵人。他果然承認了10到22項指控，如果法官接受其辯解，士兵曼寧將面臨20年監(jiān)禁，但并不是政府希望的終身監(jiān)禁。他說自己曾希望就軍隊的角色和整個外交政策進行公開辯論，他說，這些秘密文檔說明了伊拉克和阿富汗戰(zhàn)爭的隱秘事實。

我們都很清楚，我們要對國家做的就是繼續(xù)向前。我這么做并非為了自己，事實上更重要的是，讓這個國家能繼續(xù)向前發(fā)展，為了讓肯尼亞再也不經歷這種局面，誰也沒有經歷過我經歷的這一切。
