West African leaders have told the mutinous¹ troops who led last week's coup² in Mali to restore constitutional order within 72 hours or face sanctions. The West African leaders resorted to meeting in Ivory Coast after earlier plans for talks with the coup leaders in the Malian capital Bamako were abandoned. Thomas Fessy has more.

西非国家领导人向领导上周马里政变的反叛部队表示，必须在72小时内恢复宪法秩序，否则就要实施制裁。早些时候，西非国家领导人提议与政变领导者在马里首都巴马科进行对话，但被对方拒绝，于是他们决定在科特迪瓦会谈。

The West African leaders are giving 72 hours to the coup leaders to restore constitutional order. They didn't say whether that meant getting the power back to the deposed³ President Amadou Toumani Toure or not. But restoring constitutional order, and if not, they would take sanctions, such as travel bans, freezing all financial assets of the coup officials and also threatening to cut off the financial links with the West African central bank.

西非领导人要求叛变领导者在72小时内恢复宪法秩序，但并没表示，这是否意味着将权力还给被废黜的总统托雷。但一定要恢复宪法秩序，否则就要采取制裁，诸如旅游禁令，冻结叛变官员的所有资产，并威胁要切断与西非央行的金融纽带。

Arab leaders meeting in Baghdad have called for the United Nations-backed peace plan for Syria to be implemented⁴ immediately and completely. The plan calls for the withdrawal⁵ of soldiers and heavy weapons from cities, the release of prisoners and humanitarian⁶ aid for Syrians who need it. However, only 10 leaders from the league's 22 member states were at the summit, as Wyre Davies reports.

阿拉伯领导人与会巴格达，呼吁叙利亚立即彻底实施联合国的和平方案。该方案要求叙利亚将部队和重型武器从城市撤出，释放犯人，让叙利亚急需的人道主义援助进入。然而，阿盟22个成员国中，只有10位领导人出席了此次峰会。Wyre Davies报道。

Of the 22 Arab League nations, only nine of them - apart from Iraq - bothered to send their leaders here, and of course absent were many of those Sunni Gulf⁷ states which have advocated a much tougher line against Syria. So in agreeing to this UN Kofi Annan plan, there was a degree of unity⁸ here in Baghdad today. But the problem, as I say, is that many of those of the countries that advocate a much tougher line against Syria weren't represented at the highest level.

在阿盟的22个成员国中，只有除了伊拉克外的9个国家的领导人出席了会议，缺席很多都是逊尼派海湾国家，它们要求对叙利亚采取强硬路线。今天的巴格达会议上，由于各国同意联合国科菲安南的提案，所以会上大家表现的团结一致。但是，我认为，问题是那些支持对叙利亚采取更强硬措施的国家，其最高领导人都没有出席。

The Syrian President Bashar al-Assad says he accepts the Annan peace plan, but Mr Assad said armed groups inside Syria must cease what he called "terrorist acts" against the government.

The body of the Islamist gunman who shot dead seven people in and around the French city of Toulouse has been buried at a cemetery¹⁰ in the city following an intervention¹¹ by President Sarkozy.

Twenty or so of Mohammed Merah's close friends or family that were brought in a sort of highly secured minibus, and then basically the rest of the people there were police or, some of them were not in uniform, but they seemed to be security guards and so on. There were sort of gendarmes¹² checking identity cards and taking the licence plates of anyone who entered the cemetery. Helicopters overhead, and very, very high security.

Mohammed Merah的20多位家人亲友乘一辆看来很安全的小型汽车来了，在场其他的人基本都是警察，有的没有穿制服，但看来都应该是保安人员。现有宪兵模样的人在检查身份证，并取走进入公墓者的拍照。直升机在头顶盘旋着，现场非常安全。

A nuclear scientist at the prestigious¹³ Cern laboratory has gone on trial in France for allegedly plotting terrorist attacks. Adlene Hicheur has been in custody¹⁵ since his arrest two and a half years ago after police intercepted¹⁶ his emails to an alleged¹⁴ contact in al-Qaeda. The emails reportedly proposed targets and suggested Mr Hicheur was willing to be part of an active unit. His lawyers say all he did was express controversial views online, and he was never part of a plot.

Workers in Spain have been staging a general strike. Flights, public transport and some television broadcasts have been disrupted, and factories closed. Spanish police say they have made more than 50 arrests. Gavin Hewitt has this report.

Workers took to the streets in many Spanish cities and towns, urging others to join a general strike. There were attempts to block roads and to force businesses to close. Transport was badly disrupted, but support for the strike was patchy . The protest was against reforms making it easier to hire and fire workers, but many of those demonstrating were also angry with austerity. This is a critical time for Spain. It is the country that is currently causing greatest concern within the eurozone.

在西班牙的许多城镇，工人们走上街头，呼吁大家举行大罢工。他们试图堵塞道路，迫使店铺关门。交通严重中断，但罢工得到的支持寥寥无几。这次抗议是反对令招聘和解雇更容易的改革，但许多游行者也对紧缩政策感到愤怒。西班牙到了关键时刻，欧元区如今最为关注的问题，就是西班牙造成的。
