Fighting has continued to rage in Libya despite some 70 sorties from international aircraft trying to enforce a UN resolution to end attacks on civilians by Colonel Gaddafi’s forces. At least nine people were reported to have been killed by forces loyal to the Libyan leader in the city of Misrata, the only big rebel stronghold in western Libya. There were also clashes near Ajdabiya, in eastern Libya, as Ian Pannell reports.
战火继续在利比亚肆虐,尽管多国空军70多次单机出击,试图执行联合国的阻止卡扎菲上校部队攻击平民的决议.据报道,在米斯拉塔城,利比亚西部唯一叛军根据地,至少有9人被忠于利比亚领导人的部队杀害。在利比亚东部,阿加达比亚附近也发生了冲突。Ian Pannell报道.

We drove towards Ajdabiya. The road is littered with the charred and smoking remains of Colonel Gaddafi’s military. There were reports that his forces had been repelled by the rebels, but just listen to this. It’s the whistle of a tank round fired past our car by government troops at the opposition fighters. A number of people were injured, some killed. Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, government forces are still attacking the rebels in the east and trying to hold on to the territory they’ve taken. Even so, the people of Bengahzi had been celebrating today, believing that the balance of power has now swung in their favour.
我们驱车赶往阿加达比亚。路上杂乱地堆着烧焦的和正冒着烟的卡扎菲上校部队的残骸。有报道称他的部队已经被叛军击退,但这只是听说。向反对派士兵射击的政府军坦克刚从我们的车旁呼呼而过.许多人受伤,一些人被杀死。尽管宣布停火,政府仍然对东部的叛军采取军事行动,并且试图守住他们已经占领的土地。尽管如此,班加西的人民今天还在庆祝,他们认为现在局势正向对他们有利的一边倾斜。

Oil prices have surged again after the latest air strikes against Libya. Prices rose nearly 1.5% on fears of prolonged fighting in Libya and supply disruptions elsewhere in the Middle East. Libyan oil exports have been halted by the uprising.

But President Saleh remains defiant. A source close to him told the BBC the president would not stand down and would call elections later in the year. The National Defense Council, which the president chairs, said the army would not hesitate, as it put it, to carry out its duty in the face of any coup plot.

Abnormally high levels of radio-active substances are being detected in seawater near the Fukushima nuclear plant in Japan, which was damaged by an earthquake and tsunami 10 days ago. Radio-active iodine levels are over 100 times higher than government-set standards, while radio-active ceasium levels are 25 times the official limit. Earlier, the head of the United Nations nuclear agency said the situation was still very serious at the plant. Yukiya Amano was speaking at an emergency meeting at the IAEA. Kerry Skyring reports.

The IAEA chief is calling for a review of nuclear safety standards, beginning with earthquake and tsunami prone areas. He says the existing system was designed in the wake of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Mr Amano now wants improved coordination among experts during the early stages of a nuclear crisis. He says the priority remains stabilising the nuclear reactors at Fukushima and restoring safety. He is confident this will be achieved but that the current international response to a nuclear emergency needs to be reassessed.
国际原子能机构总干事呼吁从地震和海啸多发地区开始,从新设立核安全标准。他称现有的制度是在1986年切尔诺贝利核灾难之后建立的。天野先生现在希望在核危机的早期阶段使专家意见协调。他表示首要工作是稳定福岛的核反应堆,恢复安全。他相信这个目标会实现但是,当前的国际核应急响应需要重新评估。
