Riot police in the Egyptian capital Cairo have fired tear gas and water cannon1 to try to break up large anti-government demonstrations3. Our correspondent Jon Leyne was there.
埃及首都开罗防暴警察施放了催泪弹和水炮，试图驱散大规模的反政府示威人群。我们的记者Jon Leyne在现场报道。
It was as if something had been unleashed4. Thousands of people took to the streets of Cairo, the biggest challenge to the government in years. For a while, the police stood aside. Then I watched as they moved in with water cannon and tear gas.
人们似乎在发泄情绪。数千人走向开罗街头，这是数年来政府面临的最大的挑战。曾经一度警察袖手旁观。后来我看到他们使用水炮和催泪弹进行干预。
"Police are just moving in to break up the protesters. The protesters are throwing back rocks and anything they can get their hands on, and now the police are just sending in the water cannon."
“警察开始采取行动驱散抗议者。抗议者用石头或者手头能够拿到的任何东西来回击。现在警察只是投掷水炮。”
"We don't afraid from anyone any more. That's our final war. We don't afraid from anybody here in Egypt."
“我们已经不再害怕任何人。这是我们最终的战争。我们在埃及已经不再害怕任何人。”
As the crowd fought back, the police simply could not regain5 control of the streets. This demonstration2 will be a huge shock to President Mubarak, in power now for 30 years. And the protesters might just begin to believe that after Tunisia, anything is possible.
由于抗议人群回击，警方已经不能重新夺回街道的控制权。这次示威活动对已经执政30年的总统穆巴拉克来说将是一个巨大的打击。而且抗议者已经开始相信，突尼斯事变之后，一切皆有可能。
The first former detainee of the Guantanamo Bay prison camp to be tried in a civilian6 court has been jailed for life by a judge in New York. Ahmed Ghailani, from Tanzania, was charged in connection with attacks in East Africa in 1998. Jonny Dymond reports.
在民事法庭接受审判的第一个前关塔纳摩湾囚犯被纽约一名法官判处终身监禁。来自坦桑尼亚的阿赫迈德·盖拉尼(Ahmed Ghailani)被控告与1998年东非的袭击有关。Jonny Dymond报道。
More than 200 people were killed and thousands injured in the attacks on US embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam7. Ahmed Ghailani was accused of purchasing trucks to carry the bombs, explosives and petrol tanks to destroy the buildings. Sentencing him, US District Judge Lewis Kaplan described the crime as horrible, the cold-blooded killing8 and maiming of innocent people on an enormous scale. The charge, conspiracy9 to destroy government buildings, carries a minimum sentence of 20 years. Mr Ghailani asked for leniency10, but he received a life sentence without parole.
在美国驻内罗毕和达累斯萨拉姆大使馆遭遇的袭击中，200多人遇难，数千人受伤。盖拉尼被指控购买了用于装载炸弹的卡车，炸药和汽油桶来炸毁建筑。美国地区法官Lewis Kaplan在宣判时称这是恐怖，冷血的屠杀行为，大规模杀害了无辜的民众。阴谋毁坏政府建筑的控告最低要被判处20年的有期徒刑。盖拉尼请求宽恕，但是被判处终身监禁，不准保释。

The human rights watchdog, the Council of Europe, has called for a fresh investigation into allegations that Kosovo Liberation Army rebels were involved in organised crime and the trafficking of human organs.

American scientists working in the Arctic have recorded what they believe is the longest-ever swim by a polar bear. They fitted a female bear with a radio collar and then tracked her as she swam non-stop for nine days. She covered nearly 700km northwards from Alaska in icy waters and then travelled a further 1,600km, sometimes walking on the ice. The scientists say that as more sea ice melts, polar bears have to swim greater distances in search of food.
在北极工作的美国科学家观测到北极熊最长时间的游水记录。他们在一只雌性北极熊身上安装了无线电装置对她进行追踪，记录到她一刻不停地游了九天。她在冰水中从阿拉斯加向北游接近700千米，后来又游了1,600千米，有时在冰上行走。科学家表示，由于越来越多的冰层融化，北极熊必须游更远的距离来寻找食物。
