The Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has now resigned. Crowds jeered and heckled as he went to the presidential palace to present his resignation. He held his last cabinet meeting after the final approval by the Italian parliament of austerity measures. Alan Johnston reports from Rome.
意大利总理贝卢斯科尼现在已经辞职。当他走出总统府做辞职报告时，人群发出嘲笑和质问的声音。意大利议会通过紧缩计划后，贝卢斯科尼主持了最后一次内阁会议。Alan Johnston从罗马发回报道。

After holding one last cabinet meeting, Silvio Berlusconi made his way to the residence of Italy's head of state, President Giorgio Napolitano. It was an undignified journey. As Mr Berlusconi arrived at the palace, a large crowd booed and jeered. But once inside, the prime minister formally tendered his resignation. Silvio Berlusconi was often described as a consummate survivor, managing to slip out of political and legal trouble again and again. But he has been overwhelmed by the scale of Italy's current financial crisis. It has swept him away, and now Italy has entered a new era.
主持完最后一次内阁会议后，贝卢斯科尼前往意大利总统乔治．纳波利塔诺的住处。此行并不光彩，贝卢斯科尼到达总统官邸时，一大群人向他发出嘘声和嘲笑声。但一走进去，贝卢斯科尼就正式宣布辞职。西尔维奥．贝卢斯科尼通常被看做一位老练的政治家，一次次从政治和法律困境中逃脱。不过，意大利目前的金融危机令他拙于应付。这次危机让他退了下来，现在意大利进入了新的时代。

The Arab League has taken tougher action against Syria than anyone expected. The moves will dramatically increase the isolation of President Assad's government. The league has even threatened to refer the issue to the United Nations. And opposition groups have been invited to Arab League headquarters so they can agree on a unified position. Syria immediately reacted furiously. It said the moves were illegal, and Damascus accused the league of serving a Western and American agenda.
谁都没想到，阿盟对叙利亚实施了更严厉的行动，这些举动戏剧性地使总统阿萨德的政府更加孤立。阿盟甚至威胁将事件交与联合国处理，反对派组织已被邀请至阿盟总部，商谈联盟事宜。叙利亚对此反应激烈，称这些举动是非法的，大马士革当局谴责阿盟是为西方服务的，是美国的代理机构。

Sporadic fighting erupted along the border in the months before South Sudan became independent in July, but reports of further clashes are now coming in almost every day. Each side accuses the other of backing rebels in its territory. Each is deploying more troops and equipment to various hot spots. Oxfam is pulling 22 of its staff out of Jamam and Renk in the South Sudanese state of Upper Nile. The fear is that the sporadic clashes degenerate into a return to war.
7月份南苏丹独立之前的数月，边境地区不时有战斗发生，但现在，据报道，几乎每天都有冲突发生。双方都指责对方支持本国境内的叛乱活动，都派出更多军队和武器到热点地区。乐施会正从上尼罗河州的Jamam和Renk地区撤出22名工作人员。担心这些零星冲突会导致战争再次发生。

There were no shouted slogans at this rare military protest - that's prohibited by law, as is wearing uniforms at such events. But there was anger at government proposals to decimate armed forces numbers and cut back wages and promotions. For now at least, this is just one more group in society angered by policies being implemented under Portugal's bailout.
法律禁止军人抗议，因为军人在此类事件中都穿着制服。所以在这次罕见的军人抗议活动中，没有人高喊口号。然而这次游行中，抗议者表达了对政府削减军人编制、减少工资和提升机会的愤怒。除此之外，至少目前为止，只有警察这个团体对葡萄牙的援助计划感到愤怒。
