The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he has no intention of starting a war with Syria, but he warned nobody should test Turkey's determination to defend its citizens. He was speaking after a vote in parliament following a cross-border mortar attack on Wednesday. James Robbins reports.
土耳其总理雷杰普•塔伊普•埃尔多安说无意与叙利亚开展,但他警告说,任何人都不能试验土耳其包围人民的决心。周三发生越境追击炮袭击后,他在议会投票后发表这番言论。詹姆斯•罗宾斯报道。
Turkish MPs voted to authorize their troops to attack targets across the border inside Syria. But Turkish Deputy Prime Minister insisted this was a deterrent not a mandate for war. Turkey has already been firing at targets inside Syria since yesterday's Syrian shelling of the town of Akcakale which killed two women and three children. Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister said Syria had accepted responsibility for the deaths and apologized. Neither country seems to want a war and there is no appetite among Turkey's Nato allies for military conflict, but still the situation remains dangerous.
土耳其议员投票授权部队越过边境袭击叙利亚境内的目标。但土耳其副总理称这是遏制行动,并非战争命令。昨天,叙利亚炮轰Akcakale镇,导致土耳其两名妇女和三名儿童丧生,自此土耳其一直向叙利亚境内开火。土耳其副总理说叙利亚已承认对死亡负有责任,并表示道歉。两国似乎都不希望开战,土耳其的北约盟友也不希望发生军事冲突,但局势仍很危险。

The Secretary General said the risks of regional conflict were increasing as the situation inside Syria deteriorated. As with the threat to international peace and security, he called on all concern to exercise maximum restraint. A draft security council statement also expressed alarm about the Syrian crisis spilling over into neighboring states. But Russia had blocked its adoption and proposed a weaker text that takes other reference to violation of the international law.
秘书长说,随着叙利亚国内局势恶化,地区冲突的危险正在增加。对于国际和平与安全面临的威胁,他呼吁相关各方保持最大程度的克制。安理会的声明草案也对叙利亚危机蔓延到邻国表示警惕。但俄罗斯反对声明通过,并提出一个说服力不足的文本,其中提到其他违反国际法的案例。

Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to rally in the capital Amman urging faster reform. A counter-demonstration by supporters of King Abdullah has been cancelled for fear it would provoke clashes. The King has prided himself on the fact which Jordan had avoided the unrest unleashed elsewhere in the Middle East by the Arab s spring, but economic problems are fueling calls for change. The king has dissolved the parliaments and sacked prime ministers before to show he's responsive to public dissatisfaction, but it was exactly the wielding of that kind of power for the opposition beliefs should be reformed.

Beekeepers in northeastern France have been left with an unusually multi-colored harvest this year after their bees were found to have been making green and blue honey.
