The papacy of Benedict XVI has now formally come to an end. In the first papal resignation for 600 years, Benedict handed his authority over to his deputy. Benedict will reside at the palace south of Rome while a group of Cardinals2 chooses the next head of the Roman Catholic Church. James Robbins reports.
本笃十六世的教皇职位已正式结束，本尼迪克是600年来首位辞职的教皇，他向职权交给了副手。本尼迪克将居住在罗马南部的宫殿，同时一批红衣主教将选出罗马天主教堂的下届教皇。詹姆斯·罗宾斯报道。
A bell chimed the hour of the Castel Gandolfo, the Papal summer residence, the Swiss Guards swung shut and bolted the massive outer doors, they saluted3 and hung up their halberts. Inside, out of sight, Benedict has ceased to be head of the Catholic Church. There will be no pontiff to protect until the Cardinal1 electors chose his successor in a few weeks time. Earlier, Benedict XVI used the last few hours as Pope to greet each of the Cardinals in turn. He acknowledged that his eight years in power had seen both radiant light and clouds darkening the sky over the Church.
在教皇的夏日别墅冈多菲堡，钟声响起了，瑞士警卫慢慢关上巨大的外门并推上门闩，他们举起手中的戟致礼。本尼迪克已不再是天主教堂的首领，红衣主教选举人将在数周内选出继承人，到那时才有新教皇。早些时候，本笃十六世利用担任教皇的最后几个小时接待了每位红衣主教。他承认在自己八年的任职期间，罗马教堂既沐浴在阳光中，但也有阴雨笼罩的时候。
The US soldier accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of documents to the Wikileaks website has pleaded not guilty to the charge of aiding the enemy. But Bradley Manning ended a guilty plea to lesser4 charges. Here's Paul Adams.
因向维基解密网站泄露数十万份文件的美国士兵布拉德利·曼宁拒不承认通敌指控，但他不再向其他较轻指控进行有罪答辩。保罗·亚当斯报道。
Bradley Manning doesn't deny providing Wikileaks with around half a million classified documents, but he does dispute the charge that he did this to aid America's enemies. As expected he said he was pleading guilty to 10 of the 22 charges against him. If the judge accepts his plea, Private Manning could still face up to 20 years in prison, but not the life sentence the government is seeking. He said he had wanted to start a public debate about the role of the military and about foreign policy in general. The classified documents represented, what he called, the underground realities of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
布拉德利·曼宁承认向维基解密提供近50万分秘密文件，但他否认这是为了帮助美国的敌人。他果然承认了10到22项指控，如果法官接受其辩解，士兵曼宁将面临20年监禁，但并不是政府希望的终身监禁。他说自己曾希望就军队的角色和整个外交政策进行公开辩论，他说，这些秘密文档说明了伊拉克和阿富汗战争的隐秘事实。

Protesters damaged cars and fought pitched battles with police in the southern city of Chittagong soon after the Islamist leader was sentenced to death.
