The main contingent of an Arab League observer mission has arrived in Syria to monitor an initiative to end the continued violence. It has left thousands dead since anti-government protests began earlier this year. At least 18 people are reported to have been killed in the latest shelling of the city of Homs. The Arab League initiative agreed with the Syrian government requires all armed forces to withdraw from the areas of conflict. The BBC's Jim Muir in Beirut says it's not clear whether the observers' movements will be restricted.
阿拉伯国家联盟观察员代表团主要队伍已到达叙利亚，监督一项旨在结束持续不断暴力活动的倡议的执行情况。自从今年早些时候反政府抗议活动开始以来，已导致数千人死亡。据报道，至少18人在Homs市的炮击中丧生。阿拉伯国家联盟的倡议已得到叙利亚政府同意，从冲突地区撤出所有军队。BBC驻贝鲁特记者Jim Muir说，不清楚观察员的行动是否会受限制。

Syrian officials are saying they are committed to the protocol they signed with the Arab League that the observers will have complete freedom of movement, but of course they do have to coordinate with the Syrian authorities because they need to have security; they can't just jump in cars and drive off to a place like Homs. So that in a sense makes them sort of dependent on the regime.
叙利亚官员称，他们将遵守与阿拉伯国家联盟签署的协议，观察员完全有行动的自由，不过为了确保到他们的安全问题，他们当然必须与叙利亚当局协调，他们不能开车去像Homs这样的地区。所以在一定程度上观察员要取决于叙利亚当局。

Hundreds of ultra-Orthodox Jews have clashed with police near Jerusalem as tensions mount over their campaign of segregation between men and women. A police officer was wounded in the town of Beit Shemesh as police were called to remove a sign on a main road ordering segregation between the sexes. Here's Aidan Lewis.
男女隔离运动加剧当地紧张局势，数百名极端正统派犹太人与警察在耶路撒冷附近发生冲突。在贝特．西蒙斯镇，警察被招来移去主干道上一块命令两性隔离的标牌，一名警官在冲突中受伤。

Ultra-Orthodox Jews pelted police and journalists with rocks and eggs, and set fire to rubbish bins. They also re-installed a number of placards ordering segregation that had earlier been removed. Beit Shemesh has become a focus of friction between ultra-Orthodox and more secular-minded Jews. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says police will continue to arrest ultra-Orthodox offenders and insists that there's no place in Israel for discrimination.
极端正统派犹太人向警察和记者投掷石块和鸡蛋，并点燃垃圾箱，他们还在之前被拆除隔离命令牌的地方重新安置了标牌。贝特．西蒙斯镇已经成了超正统派和世俗派犹太人的核心冲突地。总理本杰明．内塔尼亚胡称警察将继续逮捕超正统派不法者，声称以色列没有给歧视留出空间。

The authorities in Mexico say they've arrested the chief bodyguard of the country's most wanted drugs baron, the fugitive Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. The bodyguard, Felipe Cabrera Sarabia, was detained by army special forces. Colonel Ricardo Trevilla of the Mexican army said Cabrera had risen through the ranks of the cartel.
墨西哥当局称，他们已经逮捕了该国头号毒品头目、在逃的锡那罗亚州卡特尔老板Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman的贴身保镖。这位名为Felipe Cabrera Sarabia的保镖是被特殊部队逮捕的。墨西哥军队上校Ricardo Trevilla称，Cabrera在这个卡特尔组织中是从普通成员上升的重要位置的。

"Cabrera used violence to keep control of the group's criminal activities. This allowed him to gain stature in the group. It allowed him to become a key player in drug smuggling and trafficking. It helped him become a security provider for the head of the cartel in his area of operations."
“Cabrera使用暴力手段控制该组织的犯罪活动，这让他获得该组中的地位。这也使其成为毒品走私交易中的关键人物，使他成为集团头目在他地盘内的保护者。”
