Andrew Harding was in court in Pretoria.
运动员奥斯卡•皮斯托留斯否认谋杀女友Reeva Steenkamp，南非法官已允许保释他，保释金超过11万美元。皮斯托留斯先生说，他当时将女友认为小偷而开枪，他不能回家，而且要交出武器和护照。他下次出庭的时间是6月4日。 Andrew Harding在比勒陀利亚报道。

It took two hours in a packed expectant courtroom for the magistrate reaches decision, Oscar Pistorius listening in silence. The magistrate Desmond Nair had discussed whether a man as well-known as the Paralympic athlete might skip bail as the prosecution argued. The magistrate ruled that Oscar Pistorius was not a flight risk nor the threat to witnesses. But he also concluded that he had some concerns about the athlete’s statement regarding the shooting of his girlfriend in the middle of the night. The magistrate suggested that prosecution and defense had in a sense fought each other to a draw over the last few days in their competing versions of the shooting.
人们在一个拥挤的法庭上等待法官长达两个小时的裁决，奥斯卡•皮斯托留斯安静地听着这一切。地方法官德斯蒙德•耐尔讨论了这么一个问题，即如皮斯托留斯这样的名人会如检方所述在保释中逃走。地方法官判定，奥斯卡•皮斯托留斯没有潜逃风险，也不会对目击者构成威胁。但他还表示，在就午夜开枪打死女友一事上，他对皮斯托留斯的陈述有些担心。地方法官称，过去几天来，检方和被告就开枪说法的争论达成了平局。

The main Syrian opposition group has said it will meet in Istanbul next week to choose a prime minister to head a provisional government that will operate in rebel-held areas of Syria. The proposals from the Syrian National Coalition emerged after two days of talks in Cairo, from where Jim Muir reports.
叙利亚主要反对派已经表示，下周将在伊斯坦布尔举行会议选出一名总理，来领导叙利亚被叛军占领地区的临时政府。叙利亚国家联盟提出该提议之前，已在开罗进行了两天的会谈。Jim Muir报道。

The idea of a transitional government has been in the air ever since the opposition coalition was formed in Qatar in November. But if it fails to attract sufficient financial and diplomatic support and if it can’t operate inside the rebel-held areas of Syria still subject to intensive bombardment by government forces, the coalition may lose its already shaky credibility. But if it doesn’t try, it risks leading those areas to slide further out of control and increasingly into the hands of radical Islamist factions which are making the running on the ground.
自从去年11月反对派联盟在卡塔尔成立以来，临时政府这个主意一直悬而未决。但是，如果它未能吸引到足够的财政和外交支持，如果不能在目前仍受政府军激烈轰炸的叛军占领区运作，该联盟可能会丧失掉原本就摇摇欲坠的信誉。但如果不去尝试，就会导致这些地区更加无法控制，进一步陷入极端伊斯兰宗派的手中。

The UN envoy to the country Roger Meece told the Security Council the situation had reached alarming proportions and would likely grow worse.

The most senior Roman Catholic in Britain says priests should be allowed to marry and have children. In a BBC interview, Cardinal Keith O’Brien said the next pope will be free to change the current policy because the principle of celibacy wasn’t of divine origin as it hadn’t come directly from Jesus Christ. Cardinal O’Brien said many priests struggled to cope with celibacy.
英国最高级的罗马天主教牧师称应允许牧师结婚生子。红衣主教基斯•奥布莱恩在接受英国广播公司采访时说，独身的准则并非神授，并非直接来自耶稣，因此下届教皇完全可以改变目前的政策。红衣主教奥布莱恩说独身准则令许多牧师都感到为难。

“I realize that many priests have found it very difficult to cope with celibacy as they lived out their priesthood and felt the need of a companion, of a woman to whom he could get married and raise a family of their own.”

A ruling by Uruguayan Supreme Court will prevent new trials of human rights abuses committed during the military governments in the 1970s and 80s. The court declared unconstitutional a law approved two years ago which lifted the statute of limitations on human rights abuses. The ruling effectively reinstates an amnesty law from 1996 that shielded most military officers from being prosecuted.
