敘利亞政府軍向西部城鎮(zhèn)庫薩發(fā)動進攻以期占領此地，叛軍已在這里被困數(shù)周。政府稱已殺死70名叛軍武裝人員。吉姆·繆爾報道。
Al-Qusair shook to a massive bombardment as government forces softened up rebel positions in preparation for a multi-prompt attack on the town. There are conflicting accounts about how much progress the army has made, but activists admitted that the rebel suffered very heavy casualties. They posted video on the internet showing chaotic scenes of what they said was a field hospital in al-Qusair. It was flooded with casualties, some of them clearly fighters, others, civilians who have been trapped in the encircled town.
政府進一步摧毀了叛軍的陣地，并準備對該鎮(zhèn)發(fā)起多重進攻，目前al-Qusair遭受了大規(guī)模轟擊。至于軍方取得多大進展，目前的說法并不一致，但活動人士承認叛軍遭受了重大的人員傷亡。他們在網(wǎng)上發(fā)布的視頻顯示，al-Qusair一家陣地醫(yī)院一片混亂。到處都是傷亡人員，有的顯然是武裝分子，也有被困在這個被困城鎮(zhèn)的平民。
Tunisian police have used tear gas to disperse supporters of a hardline Islamist movement Ansar al-Sharia in a suburb of the capital Tunis. Reports say at least one protester has died. Earlier, thousands of soldiers and police stopped the group's supporters from holding their annual conference. Richard Hamilton reports.
在突尼斯首都突尼斯郊區(qū)，警方動用催淚彈驅趕強硬派安薩爾伊斯蘭教義組織支持者。報道稱至少一名抗議者死亡，早些時候，數(shù)千名士兵和警察阻止該組織支持者舉行年度會議。理查德·漢密爾頓報道。
On Wednesday, Tunisia's governing Ennahda party said the congress was illegal as it has not been given permission. Ansar al-Sharia responded by saying it didn't need government permission to preach the word of Gods. The movement advocates an ultra-conservative form of Sunni Islam and does not recognize the authority of the states. Although it has some support from marginalized and unemployed youth, Ansar al-Sharia seems to have succeeded in uniting more moderate Muslim and secular parties against its hard line agenda.
周三，突尼斯執(zhí)政的復興運動黨稱該會議沒有得到批準，因此是非法的。安薩爾伊斯蘭教義組織對此反駁說，傳播真主的說教無需得到政府的批準。該運動提倡建立極端保守形式的遜尼派，不認可政府的權威。盡管該組織得到邊緣人群的失業(yè)年輕人的支持，但似乎卻使得更多溫和派穆斯林和世俗黨派聯(lián)合起來反對其強硬路線。
The Nigerian army says it's killed 40 fighters from the extremist group Boko Haram as it continues its offensive in the northeast of the country. From Abuja here's Will Ross.
尼日利亞軍方目前仍在向該國東北部發(fā)動進攻，稱已殺死極端組織博科圣地的40名武裝分子。威爾·羅斯報道。
The Nigerian military says the militants are in disarray and are heading in large number towards Nigeria's borders. As a sign of how well-resourced Boko Haram may have become, the army says the rebels are trying to move scores of vehicles from the camps that have been attacked. It's not been possible to independently verify any of this information. Efforts have been made to close the borders, but they remain porous, and there are reports of many civilians crossing into Cameroon and Niger as they fear getting caught up in the offensive.
尼日利亞軍方稱該組織目前一片混亂，大部分人員現(xiàn)正朝尼日利亞邊境趕去。原本資源豐富的博科圣地組織陷入如此境地，軍方稱該叛軍目前正努力將數(shù)十輛汽車從遇襲的營地轉移。目前尚無法獨立確認任何有關信息，該國已努力試圖關閉邊境，但漏洞很多，有報道稱很多平民正越境進入喀麥隆和尼日爾，他們擔心在沖突中受害。

在巴基斯坦，數(shù)百人參加了伊姆蘭·罕的正義運動黨一名資深政客的葬禮。薩拉·舍希德·侯賽因被埋葬在卡拉奇，目前局勢很緊張，幾天前她在自家門外中彈身亡。伊姆蘭·罕指責其政敵MQM黨實施了這起有針對性的恐怖襲擊，而MQM黨對此否認。由于上周的選舉遭到操縱指控，周日卡拉奇舉行了部分再選舉。

The High Court in Bangladesh has banned the owner of a cloth factory destroyed in a fire last year from leaving the country. The court also ordered the owner, Delwar Hossain, to explain the circumstances surrounding the fire, in which 112 workers died.

Farc rebels in Colombia have rejected criticism that efforts to end almost 50 years of conflict are moving too slowly. Marking exactly six months of peace talks with Colombian government, the Farc lead negotiator Ivan Marquez said that overall progress was being made.
有批評稱哥倫比亞近50年沖突的努力進程過于緩慢，哥倫比亞Farc叛軍對此表示否認。目前正值與哥倫比亞政府6個月和平談判之際，F(xiàn)arc首席談判代表伊凡·馬奎斯已取得整體進步。
"The balance is positive. We've advanced amid difficulties, try to find some common ground on positions that are diametrically opposite. This explains that those complications and difficulties are following a pace thought by people who don't know the internal circumstances of the talks."
“結果很不錯，我們在困難中取得進步，試圖在對立雙方之間找到共同立場。這說明復雜和困難的局勢過后將出現(xiàn)一個階段，這個時候人們并不了解談判的內(nèi)在環(huán)境。”

Researchers from Zagreb University say that when they set out feeding points inside an experimental tent, the bees gathered mainly at those pots which had a sugar solution laced with TNT.
