BBC News with David Austin

An impromptu meeting of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council to discuss Syria has taken place at the request of Russia. It comes as western nations consider possible military action against the Syrian government following a chemical weapon attack in the capital Damascus.The UN weapons inspection team investigating last week's attack will leave Syria on Saturday and hold preliminary briefings over the weekend. Nick Bryant reports from New York. “After leaving Syria on Saturday morning, the UN weapons inspectors will find out to a number of laboratories in European countries to test the samples they've taken from the site of the alleged chemical weapons attack. The UN says the test will take longer than days. The team has accumulated an extensive matter of material and also conducted interviews with survivors and the doctors who treated them. The UN team has been mandated to determine whether chemical weapons were used rather than apportioning blame. But it will produce what the UN is calling an evidence base narrative which could imply guilt.”
在俄罗斯的请求下,联合国五个常任理事国举行临时会议商谈叙利亚问题。由于首都大马士革发生化学武器袭击,西方国家正考虑对叙利亚政府采取必要的军事行动。调查上周袭击事件的联合国武器检查小组将于周六离开叙利亚,本周将公布初步简报。尼克•布莱恩特在纽约报道。“周六早晨离开叙利亚后,联合国武器检查员将在欧洲国家的多所实验室检测从据悉发生化学武器袭击地获取的样本。联合国称化验将花费更多时间,小组获取了广泛的资料,采访了受害者和为他们提供治疗的医生。联合国小组获令调查时候使用过化学武器,而不是找人问责。但检测过程将获得联合国所谓的证据基础,有助于探明罪责方。”

Both in the United States and Britain, the principal advocates of military action against Syria considerable pressure is being brought to bear by lawmakers weary of what direct involvement to the Syria crisis might entail and what it might lead to. Both Houses of the British parliament have been debating the case for and against direct British involvement. The Prime Minister David Cameron said his resolution urging action was not about taking sites or invading Syria but about Britain's response to a war crime. “Interfering in another country's affairs should not be undertaken except in the most exceptional circumstances. It must be, as my honorable friend just said, a humanitarian catastrophe and it must be a last resort. But by any standard, this is a humanitarian catastrophe and if there are no consequences for it, there is nothing to stop Assad and other dictators from using these weapons again and again.” The British Prime Minister David Cameron.
在美国和英国,那些支持对叙利亚采取军事行动的主要倡议者受到一些议员的压力,这些议员担心直接介入叙利亚危机的后果。英国议会两院都就支持或反对英国介入进行了辩论,首相戴维•卡梅伦说,他敦促采取行动的决议并不是偏袒哪行,也不是入侵叙利亚,而是英国对战争罪的反应。“除非在特别的情况下,是不应该介入他国的国内事务的。必须像我尊敬的朋友刚才所说的那样,在发生人道主义灾难的情况下采取的迫不得已的手段。不管怎么说,这是一场人道主义灾难,如果不采取行动,那么没有什么能阻挡阿萨德等独裁者一次次使用这些武器。”英国首相戴维•卡梅伦。

According to Syrian state media, President Bashar al-Assad has said his country will defend itself against any aggression. But the International Committee of the Red Cross says the suffering of civilians is reaching uNPRecedented levels and it has called for unconditional access to all areas where people are in need.

Rwanda has accused the Democratic Republic of Congo of crossing a line by targeting its citizens after a Rwandan woman was killed and her two months old baby seriously injured by artillery shelling near the border. Olivier Nduhungirehe is Rwanda's deputy envoy to the UN. “The persistent shelling on Rwandan territory is unacceptable, as it would be to any, any sovereign nation. Rwandan civilians are being targeted by DRC forces and we have remained restraint for as long as we can, but this provocation can no longer be tolerated.” Congo has denied the shelling and has blamed the M23 rebels.
在卢旺达与刚果边界,一名卢旺达妇女因遭受追击炮袭击丧生,她两个月大的孩子严重受伤,为此,卢旺达指责刚果民主共和国袭击本国平民,行为越过边界。奥利维尔•恩杜洪吉雷赫是卢旺达驻联合国特使。“对卢旺达边界的持续轰击是不可接受的,任何主权国家都不可接受。卢旺达平民受到刚果民主共和国军队的袭击,我们一直尽可能地保持克制,但再也不能容忍这样的挑衅了。”刚果否认进行轰击,并归咎于M23叛军。

A judicial official in Pakistan has overturned for sentence handed down to Shakil Afridi, the doctor who helped CIA agents hunting for Osama Bin Laden. The official has ordered a new trial. Charles Haviland reports from Islamabad. “The commissioner of Peshawar in northwest Pakistan has told lawyers of the original trial of doctor Afridi was conducted by an official acting outside his jurisdiction. And a long jail sentence has therefore been struck down. It will now be a retrial heard by a more senior official. The doctor has not walked free and will remain incarcerated pending the start of the new trial. Shakil Afridi was publicly accused of working for the CIA to track down Osama Bin Laden under the cover of a fake vaccination campaign. But he was actually convicted of collaborating with the militant group working against the state. Something he denied outright.”
