Angry mourners at the funeral of the assassinated Lebanese security chief, Wissam al-Hassan, have tried to march on the government headquarters in central Beirut. They clashed with police who fired tear gas and shot into the air. The BBC's Wyre Davies is in Beirut.
在黎巴嫩被暗杀情报部长哈桑的葬礼上，愤怒的哀悼者试图一路游行到贝鲁特中心政府大楼。他们与警察发生了冲突，警察动用了催泪弹，还向天空开枪。Wyre Davies在贝鲁特报道。

As today's funeral drew to a close, fired by the rhetoric of some speakers around 100 protesters marched on the government palace in Beirut demanding the resignation of Prime Minister, Najib Mikati. Tear gas was fired there was a big police presence, and a handful of people were injured, but the crowd soon dispersed. In a wake of last week's car bombing, many Lebanese accused the government of failing to protect the country from interference by neighbouring Syria. If the civil war across the border intensifies, the big fear is it will inevitably spread to the streets of Lebanon.
今天的葬礼快结束时，受到演说家的感染，大约100名抗议者赶往贝鲁特政府大楼，要求总理纳吉布•米卡提辞职。出动了大批警察，动用了催泪弹，伤及数人，人群很快就被驱散了。由于上周的汽车爆炸案，许多黎巴嫩人谴责政府在保护本国免受邻国叙利亚干涉上无能为力。如果叙利亚的内战进一步加剧，最大的担心就是它会不可避免地蔓延到黎巴嫩的大街上。

President Ahmadinejad of Iran has been prevented from visiting notorious ever in prison in the north of the capital Tehran. The president had asked to visit the prison earlier this month soon after one of his closest aides was arrested for allegedly insulting other Iranian leaders. Kasra Naji reports.
伊朗总统内贾德要求访问首都德黑兰北部臭名昭著的监狱，结果遭拒。总统本月初要求访问这座监狱，因为他的一位亲密助手据说因侮辱伊朗其他领导人被捕。Kasra Naji报道。

A spokesman for the Judiciary has said there are more important issues facing the country, like the state of the economy and the rising prices. A presidential visit to the prison, he added, will give a wrong impression of the priorities of Iran's top officials. The episode shows the declining standing of President Ahmadinejad in Iran just eight months before the end of his term in office.
司法部发言人称伊朗面临很多重要问题，比如国民经济和上涨的物价。他说总统访问监狱会让人认为伊朗的高级官员无法处理优先权的问题。这段风波显示将于8月后离任的总统内贾德的地位在下降。

The death has been announced in the United States of George McGovern, the former senator and Democratic Party presidential candidate, best known for his early opposition to the Vietnam war. He was 90. Steve Kingstone has this report.
美国宣布前参议员兼民主党总统候选人乔治•麦戈文的死讯，麦戈文因早期反对越南战争而知名。他享年90岁。Steve Kingstone报道。

For decades the name of McGovern was synonymous with defeat, but in death that judgement has been revised. Those who knew George McGovern depicted compassionate, principled man, who opposed Vietnam because he himself had lived the horrors combat as a bomber pilot during World War Two. Senator McGovern has described Richard Nixon as the most corrupt president in the American history, but he was ahead of the curve for although the Water Gate scandal had broken, it had yet to reach the Oval Office door. Two years later, Nixon became the first American president to resign, prompting a popular bumper sticker, it read: don't blame me, I voted for McGovern
几十年来，麦戈文的名字等同于失败，但是他死后对他的评价就变了。了解乔治•麦戈文的人说他是个有同情心、有原则的人，说他反对越南战争是因为他在二战的恐怖战争中做过轰炸机飞行员。参议员麦戈文曾称理查德•尼克松是美国历史上最腐败的总统，但尽管爆发了水门事件，尼克松仍然遥遥领先，麦戈文没有当选。两年后，尼克松成为首位辞职的美国总统，大街上突然流行起一种保险杠招贴，上面写道：别怪我，我当时支持的是麦戈文。

Preliminary results following parliamentary voting in two Spanish regions suggested the ruling centre-right Madrid government has largely held up its support despite its austerity policies aimed at ending Spain's economic and unemployment crisis.

古巴革命领导人菲德尔•卡斯特罗数月来首次露面，打破纷纷扰扰的重病传闻。图片显示周六卡斯特罗和委内瑞拉一名高级政客在一起。Sarah Rainsford在哈瓦那报道。

This photograph cautious weeks of the rumours about the health of Fidel Castro. Speculation that he was critically ill again even at death door. Instead he's (been) seen in the snap shot inside a car with a broad smile. The picture was apparently taken outside the Hotel Nacional in Havana on Saturday as Fidel and his wife dropped off their guest, the former vice president of Venezuela. Elias Jaua has now confirmed that he spent five hours with Fidel on Saturday, talking about politics, agriculture and history and said the Cuba's former president was very well.
