Members of the UN Security Council say they are finalising a draft resolution authorising an advance team of observers to travel to Syria to monitor the ceasefire there and the further implementation of the international peace plan. A spokesman for the UN envoy Kofi Annan said a group of observers was already standing by to board a plane to Damascus as soon as the resolution was passed. Barbara Plett reports from New York.
联合国安理会成员国称，他们已最终完成一项决议草案，授权一支观察团先遣队奔赴叙利亚，监督那里的停火与国际和平计划的进一步实施。联合国使者科菲•安南的发言人称，一组观察员已准备登机赴大马士革，只要协议一通过即可成行。Barbara Plett从纽约发回报道。

There's intense political pressure to get the observers into Syria. Kofi Annan's spokesman said about a dozen monitors are on standby waiting for a green light from the Security Council. But the Russian envoy here said the draft resolution to authorise the mission is too long and complicated. It was supposed to be a brief text to just get some boots on the ground, he said. Western diplomats say they need to spell out the details of the mandate even if it's for a small advance team. They also want to keep language criticising the government's human rights violations, which Russia wants to drop.
派观察员赴叙利亚一事面临强烈的政治压力，科菲•安南的发言人称，约有12名观察员正处于待命状态，等待安理会的批准。但这里的俄罗斯使者称，批准使团的决议太过于漫长和复杂。他说，这应该是一个简短的决议即可。西方国家的外交官称，即使是派遣小小的先遣团，其命令也要不厌其详。这些国家还希望决议能批评叙利亚政府违反人权的罪行，而俄罗斯则希望放弃。

In Syria itself, activists say several people have been shot dead by the security forces during demonstrations after Friday prayers. The regular weekly protest had been seen as a major test of the ceasefire, which came into place on Thursday.

The Sudanese army says it's launched a counterattack on the disputed oil fields of Heglig, which were occupied by South Sudan earlier this week. It said Sudanese forces were on the outskirts of Heglig town, but the South Sudanese say they are still firmly in control. The country's ambassador to the UN, Agnes Oswaha, said South Sudan had originally attacked the north in self-defence.
苏丹军队称其已对有争议的Heglig油田发动反攻，本周早些时候，这里被南苏丹占领。称苏丹军队在Heglig镇的郊区，但南苏丹称，他们将继续牢牢控制此地。该国驻联合国大使Agnes Oswaha说，南苏丹起初进攻北方是自卫反击。

"Sudan has been using Heglig as an area for launching an offence against South Sudan, whether it's via area bombardment or underground. So in self-defence, we were able to repel them outside Heglig."
“苏丹一直利用Heglig地区来向南苏丹发起进攻，无论是发动区域轰击或秘密活动。因此，为了自卫，我们有能力将他们驱逐出Heglig。”

Earlier reports said he was arrested by a group of soldiers after they attacked his house with heavy weapons on Thursday night.

The Supreme Court in the Netherlands has rejected an attempt by relatives of Bosnian Muslims massacred at Srebrenica to sue the United Nations for failing to prevent the killings. The court upheld earlier rulings, saying the UN was protected by immunity under international conventions. Lawyers representing a group of thousands of relatives have said they'll appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. Dutch peacekeepers in Srebrenica were unable to prevent Bosnian-Serb forces from murdering some 8,000 Muslim men and boys from the town in 1995.

The United States says it'll cancel its planned food aid deliveries to North Korea after the government in Pyongyang defied Security Council resolutions and went ahead with a rocket launch on Friday morning. From Washington, Steve Kingstone.
美国称，由于平壤政府无视安理会决议，提前于周五早上发射一枚火箭，将取消原计划对朝鲜的粮食援助计划。Steve Kingstone从华盛顿发回报道。

A senior administration official told reporters it was impossible to see how the US could move forward with sending food aid in light of North Korea's rocket launch. The planned assistance had been part of a tentative agreement announced in February under which Pyongyang had pledged to halt uranium enrichment and other nuclear activities. A spokesman for the US State Department said that agreement was now suspended. Washington viewed the rocket launch as a thinly disguised test of long-range missile technology.
一位政府高级官员告诉记者，考虑到朝鲜已发射火箭，美国不可能实施粮食援助计划。这原本的援助计划，是用来试探平壤二月份宣布的一项协议，平壤已经承诺停止铀浓缩和其他核活动。美国国务院发言人称，这项协议目前已暂停。华盛顿认为发射火箭一事，不过是稍加伪装的的远程导弹技术的测试。
