An Arab League council meeting in Morocco has given the Syrian government three days to stop what it called the "bloody repression" of Syria's people and accept Arab League observers to verify the situation. The move follows attacks by Syrian government supporters on the embassies of several Arab countries, which began after the league voted to suspend Syria. Jon Leyne reports from the Moroccan capital Rabat.
阿拉伯联盟理事会在摩洛哥举行会议，要求叙利亚政府在三天内停止所谓对叙利亚人民的“血腥镇压”， 并接受阿拉伯国家联盟观察员核实情况。此前，阿盟投票通过对叙利亚暂时停止其会员国资格，叙利亚政府支持者因此对几个阿拉伯国家使馆发起袭击。Jon Leyne从摩纳哥首都拉巴特发回报道。

Once again, Arab ministers have been extremely tough with Syria. They've given President Assad's government just three days to accept a plan for 500 human rights monitors, military observers and journalists to be deployed there. If Syria does not agree, then the Arab League will impose unspecified economic sanctions. The Qatari foreign minister said they were close to the end of the road in diplomacy with Syria. The Syrian government continues to insist it is battling armed gangs not attacking protesters, so the monitoring could be a way of demonstrating its version of events. But all the signs from Damascus suggest no compromise.
阿盟部长们再次对叙利亚采取强硬手段，他们只给总统阿萨德政府三天时间，要求他接受一项计划，允许500名人权监察员、军事监察员和记者派往叙利亚。如果叙利亚不同意，阿盟将施以未指明的经济制裁。卡塔尔外长表示将很快结束与叙利亚的外交关系，叙利亚政府坚持表示其作战的武装团伙并没有袭击抗议者，所以实施监察可以鉴定其说法的真假。但来自大马士革的所有迹象表明，其间是没有妥协余地的。

The American computer chip company Intel says it's developed an accelerator chip that can make the equivalent of one trillion calculations a second. The chip, known as Knights Corner, was launched at a supercomputer conference in Seattle. It has at least 50 cores, or individual processors, on a single piece of silicon, and it's capable of running at a speed defined as one teraflop. The first computer to have one-teraflop capacity was made in 1997 and filled 72 cabinets.

A judge in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh has sentenced eight men to death and 20 others to life imprisonment for a so-called honour killing that took place two decades ago. Elettra Neysmith reports.
印度北方邦法官判定8名男子死刑，另外20人终身监禁，这些人因20年前犯下所谓“荣誉谋杀”而伏法。Elettra Neysmith报道。

The case dates back to 1991 when a teenage Dalit boy eloped with his girlfriend who was from a higher caste. After several days, the pair returned to their village in western Uttar Pradesh, thinking that anger would have subsided. Instead, a council of village elders ordered that they be killed along with the boy's cousin who'd helped them. All three had their genitals set alight before being hanged. But the parents of the two boys then lodged a case against the village council for ordering such a brutal killing. Convictions were largely based on the parents' testimony.
案件发生在1991年，一名达利特少年与高种姓女友私奔。数年后，两人回到西北方邦，以为愤怒已经平息。相反，村委会年长者命令杀死两人及帮助他们私奔的男孩堂兄。三人被绞死前，生殖器都被点了火。两名男孩的父母起诉村委会下如此残忍的杀令，定罪主要依据他们父母的证词。

The embattled leader of the youth wing of South Africa's governing ANC, Julius Malema, has spoken out in defiance against the party's decision to suspend him. Last week, Mr Malema was suspended from the ANC for bringing the party into disrepute. Milton Nkosi reports from Johannesburg.

He confirmed that he would appeal the convictions. The embattled youth leader, who wants President Jacob Zuma to be removed as leader of the party, said the disciplinary hearings had been used to settle political scores.
