Tens of thousands of Egyptians are gathered in Cairo and across the country to protest against the verdicts on the former President Hosni Mubarak and his co-defendants . In Alexandria, Egypt's second city, and in Qena, in the south, protesters demanded the execution of those charged. Protesters in Tahrir Square waved flags and chanted "Revolution, revolution". Mr Mubarak and his hated former Interior Minister Habib el-Adly were sentenced to life for complicity in the killing1 of protesters during last year's uprising. However, six security chiefs were acquitted3 , and Mubarak and his sons were cleared of corruption4. Political groups have called for a massive turnout to denounce what they see as undue5 leniency6 . Our Cairo correspondent Jon Leyne assesses the trial and how it could affect the forthcoming second round of the presidential election.
成千上万埃及人在开罗和全国集会，抗议对前总统穆巴拉克和其同案被告的判决。在埃及第二大城市亚历山大和南部的Qena，抗议者要求处决罪人。塔里尔广场的抗议者挥舞旗帜，高呼“革命、革命”。穆巴拉克及其前内政部长阿德利被判终身监禁，罪名是在去年的起义中杀害抗议者。然而，6名安全部长被判无罪，穆巴拉克及其儿子们被撇清腐败罪。政治组织要求举行大规模集会，谴责他们所谓的“过分宽大处理”。BBC开罗记者Jon Leyne评价了这场审判及其对即将举行的第二轮总统选举的影响。
A verdict that was meant to bring closure for Egypt is in danger of just reopening old wounds and dividing the country once again. It is above all a really confusing ruling: why convict the former president for ordering the killing of protesters, then acquit2 those further down the chain of command who logically would have had to carry out the orders. Egyptians naturally suspected conspiracy7, the hand that the old regime had played, but maybe it was just where the evidence led in what was certainly a very flawed trial, so to the presidential election in two weeks' time. One candidate, former general Ahmed Shafik, has called for the verdict to be respected. The other candidate, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood8, has called for mass demonstrations9 against it.
埃及即将结束的判决有将旧伤口解开，再次分裂该国的危险。不管怎么说，这都是个令人迷惑的判决：为何之前确认前总统下令杀害抗议者，但却宣布那些在逻辑上实施这一命令的人无罪呢？埃及人自然怀疑旧政权的阴谋，但或许这正是说明审判有误的证据，同时两周后举行的总统选举也不妥。候选人之一前将军沙菲克呼吁尊重这一判决。而另一位候选人，穆斯林兄弟组织的Mohamed Morsi呼吁举行大游行反对这个判决。
The conflict in Syria has led to fighting between rival factions11 in neighbouring Lebanon. Ten people are reported to have been killed and more than 20 wounded in the city of Tripoli. Jim Muir reports from Beirut.
叙利亚的冲突导致邻国黎巴嫩对立组织之间发生战斗，据悉在的黎波里市，已有10人死亡，20多人受伤。Jim Muir在贝鲁特报道。
The Tripoli clashes, involving small-arms fire, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades, erupted on Friday night and continued into Saturday despite efforts by the authorities to calm the situation and insert security forces to keep the two sides apart. It's the most intensive flare-up since tensions over Syria broke into violence in Tripoli last month when 10 people were killed over nearly a week. The fighting is between local Alawites, who support the Alawite-dominated regime in Syria, and Sunnis, who back the Syrian uprising and have been accused of allowing guns to be smuggled12 to the mainly Sunni rebels across the border.
的黎波里的冲突开始于周五，期间有小型武器射击、机枪和火箭手榴弹轰炸，尽管当局试图平息局势，并派遣安全部队分开两派，但到周六战斗仍在继续。上月叙利亚紧张局势蔓延至的黎波里，一周内就有10人死亡，这次冲突是自此以来最严重的冲突。这次战斗发生在支持叙利亚阿拉维派主导政权的当地阿拉维派和支持叙利亚起义的逊尼派之间，逊尼派因允许走私武器越境进入主要逊尼派部落而备受指责。
Pakistani officials say American air strikes have killed two suspected militants13 in the tribal14 region of South Waziristan. Reports say the men were senior commanders linked to a faction10 of the Pakistani Taliban, headed by the warlord Mullah Nazir. It was the sixth American drone attack in Pakistan in two weeks. In April, the Pakistani parliament demanded the US stop such attacks.
巴基斯坦官员称，美国在南部瓦济里斯坦部落地区发动空袭，杀死两名疑似武装人员。有报道称这两人是与巴基斯坦塔利班一分支组织有关联的高级指挥官，该组织的负责人是军阀毛拉·纳齐尔。这是两周内美国无人机在巴基斯坦进行的第6次袭击。四月，巴基斯坦议会要求美国停止此类袭击。

The medical charity Medecins Sans Frontieres says there's been a sharp increase in the number of refugees arriving in South Sudan, fleeing fighting north of the border. Between 2,000 and 4,000 people are crossing daily from Blue Nile province to escape fighting between the government in Khartoum and rebel forces. Here's our Africa editor Martin Plaut.
医疗慈善机构无国界医生组织称，由于北部边境地区发生战斗，逃往南苏丹的难民数量急剧增加。为了逃避喀土穆政府与叛军的战斗，每天有两千到四千人从青尼罗省越过边境。
Three giant camps in South Sudan are already hosting 70,000 people who fled from the north. They bring with them tales of attacks by air and land by the Sudanese armed forces. Many of the children arrive severely15 sick and malnourished, but the camps are already stretched to breaking point . Having adequate water supplies and making room for this fresh influx16 will be hard.
南苏丹的三个巨型难民营已经收纳了北部逃来的七万民众，他们带来苏丹武装部队发动空袭和地面袭击的消息。许多来这里的儿童都严重生病和营养不良，但难民营已经达到容纳极限了。很难为新来难民提供足够的水资源和空间。
