　　利比亚西部叛军称，他们巩固了通往首都的黎波里的通道上的阵地。叛军现在正在首都外50公里处与卡扎菲上校的军队展开激战。Mark Doyle从现场发回报道。

　　The rebel frontline in this part of the country is a series of simple defences - mounds of earth to protect the rebels from incoming fire. In the distance, I can hear the boom of artillery and the loud rattle of automatic weapons. There's the occasional background rumble of aircraft, Nato jets flying overhead. The rebels in this area fought their way down from their strongholds in the western Libyan mountains in early June. They say they are on their way to Tripoli, but Colonel Gaddafi's men are resisting this opposition advance strongly.

　　叛军在这部分地区的防线只是一系列很简单的防御措施，仅用一些土堆来防止政府军的火力。我在远处就可以听到炮弹和机枪的声音。偶尔还有北约飞机在空中飞过的声音。六月初，该地区的叛军从西部山区的堡垒一路推进到这里。他们说，他们正在向的黎波里行进的途中，但是卡扎菲上校的力量正在顽强抵抗。

　　The Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao has said China will lend a helping hand to European countries experiencing financial difficulties.

He also acknowledged that China's massive trade surplus was bad for global stability.

　　中国国务院总理温总理表示，中国将向陷入经济困境的欧洲国家提供帮助。在访问英国期间，他告诉BBC，中国将增加在一些欧洲国家的国债投资，表明北京仍然对欧元区很有信心。他还承认，中国庞大的贸易顺差对全球稳定来说是不利的。

　　"We've set ourselves the goal of tackling the financial crisis that we need to achieve strong, balanced and sustainable growth in the world. To achieve this goal, China will play its part. At home, we are going to further stimulate domestic demand, and we are going to reduce our foreign trade surplus and our reliance on exports."

　　“我们设立的目标是，为了解决全球金融危机，我们需要促进世界经济强健，平衡，可持续的增长。为了达到这个目标，中国将会发挥自己的作用。在国内，我们会进一步刺激国内需求，减少外贸顺差，降低对出口的依赖。”

From the main city Abidjan, John James reports.

Mr Gbagbo himself has yet to be charged and remains under house arrest in the north of the country. The new government has promised to end impunity. But so far, only pro-Gbagbo supporters have been arrested, despite the findings of a UN Human Rights Council report earlier this month that both sides had committed atrocities.

　　这是新任政府目前为止提出的首次正式控告，包括来自巴博政府的七名部长和前西非银行行长，他被控告帮助前总统获得冻结的国家银行账户资金。巴博本人目前还没有被控告，仍然被软禁在国家北部。新任政府承诺终止豁免权。但是目前为止，只有巴博的支持者被捕，尽管本月初联合国人权理事会报道称双方都实施了暴行。

　　攻击CIA和美国参议院等美国官方网站之后，电脑黑客组织“鲁尔兹安全”(Lulz Security)称他们将解散。Tom Burridge在华盛顿报道。

　　Through a statement posted online, the group, which claims to have six members, said after 50 days its mission of cyber exposure and disruption was over. In a parting shot, the group released documents [that] they said included confidential material taken from Arizona's police department and the US telecoms giant AT&T. Little is known about LulzSec. In the murky world of hacking, their motives for disbanding are unclear. But after rival hackers claimed to have released information to help track them down and police in Britain arrested a 19-year-old man in connection with LulzSec's hacking, this small publicity-seeking group might have started to fear that their game was up.
