BBC News with Neil Nunes
One of the Republican party candidates for the US presidential nomination, Rick Santorum, says he will drop out of the race, making Mitt Romney the most likely challenger for President Obama in November. Mr Santorum made the announcement in his home state of Pennsylvania with his family at his side. Peter Bowes reports from Washington.
共和党美国总统提名候选人之一Rick Santorum称将退出竞选，使得罗姆尼成为最有可能在11月挑战奥巴马总统的人选。在家乡宾夕法尼亚州，Santorum在家人的陪同下发表了声明。Peter Bowes从华盛顿发回报道。

Rick Santorum was barely known around America when he launched his presidential campaign a year ago. The Republican from Pennsylvania positioned himself as the only true conservative in the race. He attacked his opponent and the front-runner Mitt Romney for being out of touch with the needs of ordinary people. But Rick Santorum, who rose quickly in the polls, could not sustain his initial popularity. In suspending his campaign, he said he would continue to fight for, as he put it, American greatness and the defeat of Barack Obama.
Rick Santorum一年前参加总统竞选时，美国几乎没人知道他。这位宾夕法尼亚州的共和党人以竞选人中唯一的保守派自居，他攻击对手兼领跑者罗姆尼与普通百姓的需求脱节。尽管Rick Santorum在民调中上升很快，但无法保持最初的受欢迎度。他决定放弃竞选，但正如他说所的，他将继续为“美国的强大和打败奥巴马”而战斗。

Sudan says its largest oil field Heglig is under the control of the South Sudanese military. South Sudan has acknowledged that its military has advanced to the oil field, but both sides deny starting the fighting. James Copnall is in Khartoum.
苏丹称其最大的油田Heglig目前在南苏丹军队的控制之下，南苏丹承认其军队已推进到油田，但双方都否认挑起争端。James Copnall在喀土穆报道。

Colonel Khalid Sawarmi admitted the Sudanese army had been defeated outside Heglig and had retreated to the north. He said his men had not started the battle. A spokesman for South Sudan's armed forces acknowledged his troops advanced to Heglig, but stopped short of claiming control of the oil fields. Colonel Philip Aguer told the BBC his troops were responding to air and ground attacks by the Sudanese armed forces. Heglig is generally considered to be part of Sudan, but South Sudan disputes this.
Khalid Sawarmi上校承认苏丹军队在Heglig外被击败，并已经撤退到北部。他说，他的手下尚未开始战斗。南苏丹武装部队发言人承认，他的部队已向Heglig进发，但因未能控制油田而停了下来。Philip Aguer上校告诉BBC，他的部队只是回应苏丹武装部队发起空中和地面的袭击。Heglig被普遍视为苏丹的一部分，但南苏丹对此有争议。
