The commander of African Union forces in Somalia says his troops have driven Islamist al-Shabab militants1 out of their last major stronghold in Mogadishu. General Fred Mugisha told the BBC that the whole of the capital was now controlled by African Union and Somali government forces. He said an offensive in the north had pushed the militants back from a range where their mortars2 could hit civilian3 areas. Yusuf Garaad of the BBC Somali Service said it represented a serious blow to al-Shabab.
非盟驻索马里部队指挥官声称，他的军队将伊斯兰阿尔沙巴布武装分子从摩加迪沙驱逐。Fred Mugisha将军告诉BBC，整个首都已被非盟和索马里政府军控制，BBC驻索马里记者Yusuf Garaad说，这是对阿尔沙巴布的严重打击。
Mogadishu is the most important city. It's the seat of the government. And if the government has extended its control to all parts of the capital except that little pocket, that's very important (and) because that gives [a] big morale4 boost to the government and its supporters, and that's negative to Shabab and its ambition to control the country.
摩加迪沙是最重要城市，是政府所在地，如果政府控制了除那小片地区的整个首都，将会大大鼓舞政府和支持者的士气，而对沙巴布来说，将会打击其控制该国的野心。
The Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams has made a personal appeal to the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe for an end to what he called the persecution5 of Anglicans in Zimbabwe. As he left the meeting in Harare, Doctor Williams said he'd shown the president a dossier detailing the church's concerns and had urged him to take action. Robert Pigott reports.
坎特伯雷大主教威廉姆斯以个人身份对津巴布韦总统罗伯特穆加贝发出呼吁，希望结束他所谓的对津巴布韦圣公会教徒的迫害。在哈拉雷结束会谈时，大主教威廉姆斯说，他已向总统出示一份关于教堂的卷宗，并督促穆加贝尽快采取行动。罗伯特皮高特报道。
Doctor Williams said he'd come to Zimbabwe with the hope of negotiating with Mr Mugabe. He said he'd used the two-hour meeting to ask in the clearest possible terms that the president use his powers as head of state to put an end to all unacceptable and illegal behaviour. The encounter followed Doctor Williams' pointed6 attack on Mr Mugabe's stewardship7 of Zimbabwe in a sermon to some 15,000 Anglicans yesterday, in which he condemned9 the lawlessness that characterised the way it was governed.
威廉姆斯说，他来津巴布韦，是希望同穆加贝进行协商。他说，在这两小时的会谈中，他已同总统讲清所有条件，要求他利用自己作为国家元首的权力，结束所有这些难以接受的非法行径。威廉姆斯昨天对15,000名圣公会教徒布道讲话，他对穆加贝对津巴布韦的管理进行尖锐的批评，他谴责政府的管理不讲法治。
The US President Barack Obama says he's deeply concerned about the deaths in Egypt of at least 24 people during violence between Coptic Christians10 and the security forces. He called for minority Copts to be protected and stressed the need for elections to go ahead as planned in November. Egypt's ruling military council has ordered government ministers to carry out a speedy investigation11. Coptic church leaders have blamed what they call "infiltrators" for stirring up Sunday's violence.
美国总统奥巴马表示，他对埃及科普特基督徒和安全部队间的暴力事件表示担忧，事件导致至少24人死亡。他呼吁对少数派科普特人进行保护，强调11月按计划进行选举的必要性。埃及执政军事委员会已下令政府部长快速调查。科普特教会领导人谴责所谓的“渗透者”，指责他们导致周日的暴力事件。
Stock markets have risen in the US and Europe after France and Germany's leaders committed themselves to a plan to tackle the eurozone crisis by the end of the month. Here's our economics correspondent Andrew Walker.
基于法、德领导人在解决欧元区危机方面做出的努力，美国、欧洲股市有所上涨。BBC经济记者安德鲁沃克报道。
Financial markets really want a concrete plan from eurozone leaders to fix the sovereign debt and banking12 crisis. That still hasn't materialised, but leaders of the two biggest powers involved - France and Germany - have promised one and set themselves a deadline: the end of the month. Investors13 have taken comfort from that commitment, but the improved sentiment is fragile. The political obstacles to a deal are formidable, and if the leaders fail or agree something seen as inadequate14, then the recent gains in the markets could be reversed very quickly.
欧元区领导人需要对金融市场制定一项切实计划，解决主权债务和银行危机。这一点尚未实现，不过两个最大国的领导人已行动起来，德法领导人承诺将制定这样的计划，并提出了最后期限：本月月底。这一承诺令投资者得到安慰，不过这种安慰很脆弱。达成协议要克服很大的政治障碍，如果领导人协商失败，或协商不充分，市场最近的好转将很快走向反面。

Heavy fighting is continuing in the Libyan city of Sirte as pro-Gaddafi forces struggle to hold back the advance of fighters from the National Transitional Council. They now control both the main hospital and a showpiece conference centre. Wyre Davies is in Sirte.

The once lush and opulent Ouagadougou complex in Sirte is the kind of place that Colonel Gaddafi liked to spend his millions.
苏尔特这座曾富丽堂皇的瓦加杜古会议是卡扎菲大肆挥霍的地方。
Today, the complex is in ruins, damaged by a week of intense clashes and vandalised by vengeful fighters. Also bearing the scars of battle, the nearby central hospital, used as a base by retreating Gaddafi fighters. There today, we found dozens of injured people in the wards8 and corridors. There are also serious worries for thousands of civilians20 trapped inside Sirte as slowly but surely Gaddafi's fighters are squeezed and pushed back towards the sea.
如今，一周来，经过武装人员炮火的凶猛攻击，这里已成为废墟。附近的中心医院也伤痕累累，被撤退的卡扎菲军队当做总部。今天在病房和走廊上，我们看到几十名伤者。苏尔特数千名被困平民仍令人担心，不过确定的是，卡扎菲部队已逐渐受困并被赶到海边。
