津巴布韦总统埃默森?姆南加古瓦告诉BBC他怀疑一个支持前第一夫人格蕾丝?穆加贝的组织涉嫌暗杀他，但是他强调现在还没有证据。以下是他与弗加尔?基恩金的对话内容。

This was President Mnangagwa's first interview with the foreign media since the attempt on his life. He told me he expected police to make arrests soon. While he didn't accuse Mrs. Mugabe of involvement, he described her as someone who had insulted him, left, right and center in the past. Asked if he trusted her, the President replied, on what basis would I trust someone who was used by a cabal² to say things that had no basis? The President said Zimbabwe was stable and foreign investors³ shouldn't worry. There wouldn't be a countrywide security clampdown, and the elections next month would go ahead in a free and fair manner.

这是总统姆南加古瓦遭袭击以来第一次接受外国媒体的采访。他告诉我他希望警方尽快逮捕嫌疑人。尽管他并未指控穆加贝夫人参与此事，但他还是表示她在过去经常侮辱他。当被问到是否信任她时，总统回应称，她被阴谋团体所利用而说一些没有根据的话，我怎么会信任她呢?总统表示津巴布韦现在政局稳定，国外投资者不必担心。他还表示国内不会出现全国范围内的安全管制，下个月的选举活动将会自由平等地进行。

Yanghee Lee said Myanmar's government showed a flagrant disregard for human rights. She said violence, persecution⁴, disCRImination and hatred⁵ against ethnic⁶ and religious minorities continued across the country, and she accused the government of doing nothing to bring those responsible to justice. Her comments coincide with the release of a report by Amnesty International, which claims Myanma's military carefully planned the violent campaign against Rohingya Muslims, and names senior military figures involved.
