Iranian state television says two young Americans have been sentenced to eight years in prison for espionage and illegally entering the country. The men, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, said they'd strayed into Iran by mistake. Their lawyer says he'll submit an appeal. James Reynolds reports.
伊朗国家电视台称，两个年轻的美国人因间谍罪和非法入境被判入狱8年。这两名男子，Shane Bauer和Josh Fattal称，他们是误入伊朗境内的。他们的律师称，他将提起上诉。James Reynolds报道。

The verdict has been announced by Iran's state media. Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal have each been sentenced to eight years in prison - three years for illegal entry into Iran and a further five years on the charge of spying for the US government. The two Americans plus their companion Sarah Shourd were detained at the end of July 2009. Their families say that the three were simply hiking on the Iraqi side of the border and if they crossed the unmarked frontier into Iran, they did so entirely by accident.
伊朗国家媒体已经宣布了该判决。Shane Bauer和Josh Fattal分别被判处8年徒刑，非法入境判处三年，另外五年是因为被控告负责为美国政府从事间谍活动。这两名美国人以及他们的同伴Sarah Shourd于2009年7月底被拘留。他们的家人称，这三人仅仅是在伊拉克边境附近远足，如果他们进入没有明确标记边境进入伊朗，他们的这些行为完全是意外。

Libyan rebels are consolidating their control over the town of Zlitan, 150km east of the capital Tripoli. The rebels have already taken Zawiya, west of Tripoli, and Gharyan, to the south. From Zlitan, Orla Guerin.
利比亚叛军巩固了他们对距离首都的黎波里东部150千米处城镇利坦的控制。叛军已经占领了的黎波里以西的扎维耶，以及南部的Gharyan。来自利坦，Orla Guerin报道。

Having fought their way into the town, the rebels have been quick to assert their control. We found fighters manning checkpoints in the downtown area. There were cheers and victory salutes from families in passing cars. Just 10 days ago, government officials brought journalists from Tripoli to Zlitan on a guided tour, but the regime couldn't hold this strategic town even with heavily-armed elite troops. This is a serious defeat for Colonel Gaddafi and a testament to the rebels' growing momentum.
叛军奋力向该镇前进，并很快就控制了这个城镇。我们发现，叛军士兵已经在闹市区设立检查点。过往的汽车中人们在欢呼和庆祝胜利。仅仅十天前，政府官员在一次指导旅行中将记者从的黎波里带到利坦，但是即使拥有全副武装的精英部队，当局也无法控制这座有着战略意义的城镇。这对卡扎菲上校来说是一个严重的打击，也证明了叛军不断发展的势头。

A rebel television broadcast called on the people of Tripoli to be ready for their arrival. However, a rebel commander said his fighters had retreated in the eastern town of Brega.
叛军电视台广播呼吁的黎波里的人民为他们的到来做好准备。然而，一名叛军指挥官称，他的战士们在东部城镇布雷加却节节败退。

Israel has expressed regret over the deaths on Thursday of five Egyptian policemen in a cross-border pursuit by Israeli forces of Palestinian militants. It said the Israeli army would conduct inquiries followed by a joint investigation with the Egyptian army to determine what went wrong. Street protests against Israel have taken place in Cairo and Alexandria. Yolande Knell reports.
周四，以色列安全部队穿越边境追捕巴勒斯坦激进分子时造成5名埃及警察死亡，以色列对此表示遗憾。以色列声称，军队将会进行调查，随后与埃及军队展开联合调查，以确定事故原因。开罗和亚历山大都发生了针对以色列的街头抗议活动。Yolande Knell报道。

In his statement, Israel's Defence Minister Ehud Barak doesn't confirm that Israeli forces killed the five Egyptian police officers, but he says that Israel regrets their deaths. He adds that a joint inquiry will be held with the Egyptian army following an Israeli military investigation. His comments come after Egypt's state television said earlier that the country was recalling its ambassador to Israel until a full apology and explanation was given. Later, the Egyptian cabinet spokesman told the BBC that this decision was not final.
在他的声明中，以色列国防部长Ehud Barak并没有证实以色列的部队杀害了五名埃及警察。但是他说，以色列对他们的死亡表示。他补充说，以色列军方进行调查之后将与埃及军队展开联合调查。埃及国家电视台称，早些时候他们已经召回其驻以色列大使，直到以色列方面给出充分合理的道歉和解释。随后，埃及内阁发言人告诉BBC记者说这并非最终决定。

Israel's rescue service says an Israeli man was killed when rockets were fired from Gaza into the desert city of Beersheba. At least eight people were injured. Earlier, the armed wing of Hamas, which controls Gaza, said it had fired several rockets towards Israel.
以色列救援服务机构称，当火箭从加沙发射到沙漠城市贝尔谢巴时有1名以色列男子遇害，至少有8人受伤。早些时候，控制着加沙地带的哈马斯武装分子表示他们向以色列发射了几枚火箭弹。
