Researchers developing a vaccine1 against malaria2 have published results showing a high success rates so far. The scientists at an American biotech company irradiated mosquitoes to weaken the malaria causing parasites3 they carry. The enfeebled parasites were then injected into humans to trigger an immune response. Naomi Grimley reports.
开发针对疟疾疫苗的研究者发表研究结果，称这种疫苗到目前为止的成功率很高。美国一家生物科技公司的科学家将蚊子进行放射处理，以减弱蚊子携带治疟疾的寄生虫的危害。然后将这种衰弱的寄生虫注射入人体，以引发免疫反应。Naomi Grimley报道。
“Scientists have known for a while that if a human is bitten by malaria carrying mosquitoes which have been weakened by radiation. That person might build up immunity4, but it might take as many as a thousand bites to make that happen. Now an American biotech company in Maryland has built on that knowledge. Researchers irradiated mosquitoes extracted the malaria causing parasites and injected them into volunteers, 12 out of the 15 who'd been given the highest dose, then developed immunity.”
“科学家已经知道，如果人被携带疟疾的蚊子叮咬，而这种蚊子经过放射而衰弱，那么人就会产生免疫力，但这需要咬上一千次才行。目前美国马里兰州一家生物科技公司已在此基础上有了进展，研究者对蚊子进行放射处理，然后提取出导致疟疾的寄生虫，将之注射到志愿者体内，15名志愿者中有12人被注射最高的剂量，然后就产生了免疫力。”
The electoral commission in Zimbabwe has, for the first time, admitted that substantial numbers of voters were turned away from polling stations in last week's elections. It said that more than 300,000 people were prevented from voting and further 200,000 might be influenced in their choice of candidate. But the commission said the mistakes were not enough to prevent victory for President Robert Mugabe. A leading member of the opposition5 MDC, Tendai Biti, told the BBC that Zimbabweans felt deeply dejected because so many of them have made extraordinary efforts to vote only to be cheated.

“People enlisted6 en route in just casting their votes, nearly on thousands came from the X people X that things in order to the exist the right to vote. So when they've been taken away from the election like this, there is a problem.”
“人们赶来只是为了投票，近数千人赶来只是为了维护其投票权。所以当他们被这样的选举拒绝，那就是个问题了！”
The United Nations says Colombia has seen a strong reduction in coca plants. The UN office on drugs said the land planted with coca bushes had dropped by a quarter between 2011 and 2012 and was now at its lowest in a decade. Analysts7 say the fall in coca production suggests illegal groups, which often financed themselves through drug trafficking, may be increasing moving into illegal gold and emerald mining.
联合国称哥伦比亚的古柯叶种植骤减，联合国毒品官员称2011年到2012年期间用于种植古柯树的土地减少了四分之一，目前达到十年来的最低点。分析家称可卡因产量的减少意味着，通常通过毒品走私来获取资金的非法组织可能会加速进入对金和祖母绿矿的非法开采。

He is a Muslim and said he attacked fellow soldiers to stop them being deployed17 to fight Taliban in Afghanistan. Rajini Vaidyanathan reports.
德克萨斯州一位军事法官判定，因四年前乱枪扫射而受审的一名军队心理医生将可继续为自己辩护。尼达·哈桑少校承认在德州胡德堡军事基地开枪杀死13人，他是穆斯林，称自己袭击士兵是为了阻止他们被派去与阿富汗的塔利班作战。Rajini Vaidyanathan报道。
“Major Hasan admitted he killed 13 soldiers and injured more than 30 others at the army base in Fort Hood, Texas where he was serving. Major Hasan has tried to plead guilty, but under a military law, a not guilty plea is required for death penalty cases. Even though he wanted to represent himself, he's been assigned court lawyers, they had asked to be removed from the case arguing that the Major Hasan wants the death penalty and isn't listening to their legal advice when he comes to defense18.”
“哈桑上校承认在德州胡德堡军事基地自己服役所在地杀死13名士兵，并伤及另外30人，他曾试图承认有罪，但根据军法，无罪答辩是针对死刑案件的。尽管他想为自己辩护，但他被安排有法庭律师，这些律师请求离开法庭，声称哈桑上校希望得到死刑处置，不想在辩护时听律师的建议。”
