President Obama is making a surprise visit to Afghanistan on the first anniversary of the death of the al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden. He has signed a 10-year strategic partnership agreement with the Afghan leader Hamid Karzai, setting out military and civil relations between their two countries after the conclusion of Nato's mission in Afghanistan in 2014. From Washington, Paul Adams.
在“基地”组织头目本拉登死亡一周年之际,美国总统奥巴马突然访问。他与阿富汗领导人卡尔扎伊签署了一份10年战略伙伴关系协议,规定了2014年北约结束阿富汗军事任务后两国之间的军事和民事关系。来自华盛顿,Paul Adams报道。
Air Force One, the jumbo jet carrying President Obama, landed at the Bagram airbase north of Kabul. The president then flew onto the Afghan capital by helicopter. He'll only be on the ground for a few hours, but the strategic partnership he and President Karzai have just signed is the product of months of difficult negotiations. Only when differences over night raids by special forces and the handling of prisoners were ironed out did the agreement finally fall into place. It's a first symbolic step towards setting out a long-term relationship designed to reassure the people of Afghanistan that they are not about to be abandoned when Nato ends its operations there in 18 months' time.
总统奥巴马乘坐大型喷气式客机“空军一号”,在喀布尔北部布林迪西空军基地降落。他将乘直升机抵达阿富汗首都,将在地面仅停留数小时,但他和卡尔扎伊总统签署的战略伙伴关系协议,却是几个月来艰难协商的成果。就在消除双方在特种兵夜晚突袭事件和转交犯人的问题上的异议后,这项协议才最终尘埃落定。这是朝着建立长期关系迈出的标志性的第一步,意在使阿富汗人民放心,北约不会在18个月后结束军事任务后抛弃他们。

A fresh bid from Libya to judges in The Hague, it's unclear when a decision will be made on this latest appeal by Libyan lawyers, but it's believed it could take months. A spokesman from Libya's justice ministry, Nuri al-Bharathi, told the BBC that it's important for Saif al-Islam to be tried on home soil to revive faith in the Libyan judiciary. He said it's crucial that the Libyan state shows that the new Libya will guarantee international standards in prosecuting alleged criminals.

A British parliamentary committee has issued a scathing verdict on the role of the media mogul Rupert Murdoch in a phone-hacking scandal at one of his biggest newspapers. It found that News Corporation had shown "wilful blindness" over the extent of phone hacking by journalists. But the committee's strongest criticism that Rupert Murdoch was unfit to run an international company split (it) along political party lines. Ben Geoghegan reports.
英国议会委员会就媒体大亨默多克在其最大报刊电话窃听丑闻中的角色发布严厉裁定,认定新闻集团对记者的电话窃听行径视而不见。委员会还强烈批评,称默多克不适合运行这样的国际公司,这在政党间引起了异议。BenGeoghegan报道。
The conclusion about Rupert Murdoch's fitness to run a major company is damning. Four Conservative MPs were against including it in a final report. However, there was unanimous agreement on the issue at the heart of their nine-month inquiry - whether they were misled about the extent of phone hacking at the News of the World. News Corp has rejected the committee's conclusions about Rupert Murdoch, saying they were unjustified and highly partisan.
判定默多克是否适合运行一家大公司,这样的结论很严厉。4名保守派议员在一份最终报告中反对这个决定。然而,他们对这九个月调查的核心问题一致同意,即在世界新闻电话窃听程度上是否被误导。新闻集团弃绝委员会关于默多克的结论,称他们有失公允,非常偏袒。
