The Afghan President Hamid Karzai has accused Nato forces of failing to bring stability to the war-torn nation. In an interview with the BBC, Mr Karzai said the Nato campaign had caused a lot of suffering in Afghanistan. Mr Karzai also said he was also personally talking to the Taliban and urging them to contest forthcoming elections. Here’s our diplomatic correspondent James Robbins.
阿富汗总统哈米德•卡尔扎伊指责北约未能给这个饱受战争蹂躏的国家带来稳定。在BBC的一次采访中，卡尔扎伊说北约的空袭给阿富汗带来了很多苦难。卡尔扎伊还表示他曾私下与塔利班商谈过，并敦促他们参加即将进行的选举。下面是我们的外交记者James Robbins报道。

He’s presided over this period in which he’s critical of Nato and American forces in particular. Nevertheless, he agreed, of course, the negotiated terms through force agreements with those very powers who have been in his country so long and the Taliban question is also pretty inconsistent because it was he who raised questions about the American-sponsored talks with the Taliban earlier this year. He’s often quite quick-thought in his dealings, so I think a very mixed message people will judge quite carefully, quite cautiously.
他这段时间一直主持事务，他一直批评北约，尤其是美国军队。不过他认可与本国一些势力通过效力协议达成的条款。在塔利班问题上，他却前后不一致，因为年初正是他对美国就与塔利班对话提出质疑的。他现在态度改变，并就协议进行咨询，我想人们会很小心谨慎判断他给出的复杂信息的。

Teachers’ protests in Brazil have ended in violent confrontation on the streets of Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo. The city centre in Rio was packed with more than 10,000 people marching peacefully. But as it got dark, some protesters threw fire bombs at public buildings and riot police responded with teargas. A protest in Sao Paulo in support of the teachers in Rio also ended in violent confrontation with the police after many banks which had been striking for more than two weeks were ransacked by hooded protesters.
巴西教师抗议在里约热内卢和圣保罗以暴力对抗结束。里约市中心挤满了一万多和平游行者，但夜晚降临时，有的抗议者向公共建筑投掷燃烧弹，警察以催泪弹应对。里约举行的支持教师的抗议也以与警方的暴力对峙结束，此前许多银行因蒙面抗议者两周来的洗劫而一直关门。

The Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says he’s reviewing his country’s financial support for the Commonwealth because of human rights abuses in Sri Lanka. He said the government there had yet to investigate allegations of atrocities in its war against Tamil Tiger rebels. Lee Carter reports from Toronto.
加拿大总理史蒂芬•哈珀说，由于斯里兰卡发生人权侵犯行为，他正审视本国对英联邦的财政支持。他说有指控称在与塔米尔叛军作战期间出现暴行，但政府仍未对此进行调查。李•卡特在多伦多报道。

Stephen Harper had a long list of reasons why he remains disturbed by the human rights situation in Sri Lanka. They include reported jailings and intimidation of political leaders and journalists, harassment of minorities and reported disappearances. Sri Lanka’s envoy to Canada immediately disputed Mr Harper’s comments, but they are bound to win approval within Canada’s large community of Sri Lankan Tamils, many of whom fled conflict and turmoil back home.
史蒂芬•哈珀仍对斯里兰卡的人权状况心烦意乱是有很多原因的，包括据报道的监禁和恐吓政治领袖和记者，对少数民族的骚扰和据报道的失踪事件。斯里兰卡驻加拿大使者立即反驳哈珀的言论，但他们肯定能赢得斯里兰卡泰米尔人在加拿大最大社区的赞同，因为许多泰米尔人都在本国经历过冲突和动乱。

A federal court in the American state of Missouri has jailed a businessman for 14 years for supplying funds to al-Qaeda. Khalid Ouazzani, who’d pleaded guilty three years ago, had faced up to 65 years in prison for bank fraud, money laundering and conspiracy to support terrorist group. In a plea bargain, he explained how he borrowed money for his business interest, but sent it to Dubai where he bought and sold an apartment giving the profits to al-Qaeda alongside other funds.

Two weeks ago the Supreme Court ordered a delay to the presidential election runoff. Now the entire electoral process has been annulled. By four votes to three, the Supreme Court accepted a petition from the third-placed candidate who said more than 5,000 votes in the first round were tainted. The court ruling flies in the face of observers from India, the Commonwealth, the EU and the US, who had all praised the conduct of the first round.
两周前，最高法院下令取消第二轮选举，现在以4:3的投票决定取消整个选举过程，最高法院接受了第三名候选人的诉讼，他称第一轮选举中有5000多张选票被操纵。法院当着来自印度、英联邦、欧盟和美国观察家的面宣布该判决，这些观察家曾一直称赞过第一轮选举。
