在叙利亚的德拉市,防暴警察与抗议者之间爆发的冲突造成超过20人死亡。安全部队用实弹驱散数千名反政府示威者，有多起受伤报告。Lina Sinjab报道。
Eyewitnesses from the city of Deraa said the security forces opened fire on thousands of protesters who were calling for freedom. Demonstrators took to the streets across the country, chanting "Allah, Syria, Freedom only". More protests and sit-ins are reported across the country with anger fuelling protesters after the Deraa killing. There are concerns that situation could get worse across the country as protesters' demands haven't been met, and promises made by the leadership are constantly followed by security crackdown and more killing.
德拉市的目击者称，安全部队向呼吁自由的数千名抗议者开火。全国各地的示威者走向街头，高呼“真主阿拉，叙利亚只要自由。” 德拉市的杀戮事件发生后，有报道称全国各地愤怒的示威者进行了更多的示威和静坐抗议活动。有人担心，由于抗议者的要求没能得到满足，国家领导人做出承诺后是更多的镇压和杀戮事件，这将让该国的情况更加恶化。
One of the world's biggest media groups, News International, is apologising and offering compensation for the actions of one of its newspapers which hacked into the mobile phones of celebrities over a sustained period. Here's Gabriel Gatehouse.
世界上最大的媒体集团之一的国际新闻公司(News International)为旗下一份报纸长期来窃听名人的电话而道歉并做出赔偿。Gabriel Gatehouse报道。
These are sensational admissions that are likely to cost the newspaper tens of millions of dollars in compensation payments. The list of claimants includes film stars like the actress Sienna Miller and public figures such as the politician and former Culture Minister Tessa Jowell.
A reporter and a private investigator of the News of the World had already been jailed in 2007 for hacking into voicemail messages left on mobile telephones. But the News of the World had always claimed that instances of hacking were isolated and that the pair acted without the knowledge of senior editors. It now appears that the problem went far further.
这次耸人听闻的坦白可能会导致该报纸支付数千万美元的赔偿。索赔者的名单包括女演员席安娜．米勒(Sienna Miller)等电影明星,还有政客和像英国前文化部长泰莎．乔尔Tessa Jowell这样的公共人物。世界新闻报一名记者和私人侦探已经在2007年因窃听手机上的语音留言而被监禁。但是世界新闻报一直宣称窃听只是个别的案例，高级编辑并不知道他们两人的该行为。现在看来,问题似乎更严重。

He added that he was making frantic efforts to contact election workers. Some are still unaccounted for.
来自Suleja镇的报道称，爆炸发生在晚上六点钟左右。一名选举委员会高级官员告诉BBC，当时的办公室非常忙碌。当爆炸撕裂了整栋大楼时选举委员会正在发放官方文件，职员们还在工作。他补充到，他曾发疯似的尝试联系选举工作人员。有些人仍然下落不明。

A court in the United States has acquitted a veteran Cuban anti-communist activist and former CIA agent, Luis Posada Carriles, who had been on trial on immigration charges. The verdict is likely to provoke anger in Cuba and Venezuela, where he's wanted for his alleged role in bomb attacks. US federal prosecutors had accused Mr Carriles of lying to immigration officials, but a jury found him not guilty.
