German officials now say they believe locally grown bean sprouts are the most likely source of the E.coli bug, which has killed 22 people and infected some 2,000 more in Germany and abroad. The sprouts were sold for use in salads. From Berlin, here's our correspondent Steve Evans.

德国官员表示，他们相信当地的豆芽最有可能是大肠杆菌疫情的罪魁祸首。这次疫情爆发已经造成德国和世界各地22人死亡，2,000多人感染。这些豆芽经常用于制作沙拉。柏林，Steve Evans报道。

The regional government of Lower Saxony in northern Germany, one of the areas badly affected by the outbreak, said that locally grown bean sprouts were now suspected. Ministers said that "all indications speak to them being" the cause and people would be warned not to eat them. Operations at a farm in the region had been stopped, and there would be further tests. But the authorities said it was the most convincing possibility. The revelation might embarrass the German government because it pointed the finger at Spanish farms when the cause turns out to be right at home.

德国北部下萨克森州是受这次疫情影响最严重的地区。当地政府表示，最有可疑的就是当地生产的豆芽。官员们表示，“所有迹象都表明”毒豆芽是造成这次疫情的原因，人们尽量不要食用豆芽。该地区一座农场的经营活动已经被勒令停止，接受进一步的检测。但是当局表示，这只是最令人信服的可能性。该消息的披露可能会使德国政府非常尴尬，因为此前他们曾指责西班牙农场，而结果造成疫情爆发的确是国内的农产品。

Syrian state television says 20 people were killed and more than 300 injured when Israeli soldiers opened fire on pro-Palestinian demonstrators trying to enter the occupied Golan Heights from the Syrian side. The demonstrators were marking the anniversary of the start of the 1967 Six-Day War when Israel seized the Golan. An Israeli government spokesman, Mark Regev, said his country had no option but to open fire.

叙利亚国家电视台表示，支持巴勒斯坦的示威者试图从叙利亚进入被占领的戈兰高地，以色列士兵向他们开火，造成20人死亡，300多人受伤。示威者正在纪念1967年六日战争开始周年活动。以色列就是在那次战争中占领了戈兰高地。以色列政府发言人Mark Regev表示，他的国家别无选择，只能开火。

"You can't have a situation where enemy nationals barge into your country, tear up the border fence and try to infiltrate. It just can't happen. We had something similar two and a half weeks ago. We couldn't let it happen again. And these people were warned repeatedly - first through the United Nations, and then ultimately through loud speakers in Arabic "Don't approach the border" and shooting into the air. We only used live ammunition when there was no choice left."

“你肯定不会允许敌对国家的国民闯入你的国家，撕破栅栏，试图潜入。我们绝对不能允许这种情况发生。两周半以前我们曾经面临同样的状况，我们不能允许这种情况再次发生。我们已经多次警告这些人，最初是通过联合国，后来通过高音喇叭用阿拉伯语高呼‘不要靠近边境’，然后对空鸣枪。只有最后别无选择的情况下我们才选择了实弹阻止他们继续前进。”

也门总统萨利赫前往沙特阿拉伯，治疗周五总统府遇袭时受到的创伤，数千人举行庆祝活动。反政府暴力活动造成10人死亡。Jon Leyne报道。

Senior Yemeni officials have insisted that President Saleh will return once he's completed his treatment in Saudi Arabia for injuries received in an attack on Friday, but the Yemeni leader may have other thoughts. He's taken with him 35 members of his family, the prime minister and the speaker of parliament. And even if he wants to return, the Saudi government may well prevent him. Power for the moment has passed to the vice president. He is reported to have made peace overtures to the al-Ahmar tribal group, President Saleh's most determined opponents.

也门高级官员坚持称，总统萨利赫在沙特阿拉伯医治好在周五的袭击中受的伤之后会立即回国。但是这位也门领导人可能有其他想法。陪同他前往的有35名家庭成员，总理和议会议长。即使他想要回国，沙特政府可能也会阻止他。现在，权利已经移交给副总统。据报道，副总统已经主动向总统萨利赫的宿敌，Ahmar部落组织提出和平协议。Jon Leyne报道。

World News from the BBC

Exit polls in Portugal suggest the centre-right opposition Social Democrats have won the general election. Although they are not expected to have an overall majority, the BBC Lisbon correspondent says the Social Democrats will be able to form a stable coalition with their traditional allies, the conservative People's Party. The early election was called after the governing Portuguese Socialists were forced to request a big economic bailout from the European Union and the International Monetary Fund.

葡萄牙选后测验表明，在野社会民主党赢得了大选。尽管他们不会赢得彻底的大多数优势，BBC驻黎巴嫩记者表示，社会民主党可能会和传统的盟友，保守派人民党组成联合政府。执政党葡萄牙社会党被迫向欧盟和国际货币基金组织谋求经济救助之后，被迫提前举行选举。

Voting is taking place in Peru in what's expected to be a closely-fought presidential run-off. Keiko Fujimori, who's the daughter of the former right-wing President Alberto Fujimori, is facing a populist, former army officer Ollanta Humala. Ms Fujimori has campaigned on a programme of free market reforms, but critics fear she may pardon her jailed father if she's elected. Mr Humala, meanwhile, has been accused of being too close to the left-wing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, an accusation he denies.

秘鲁选民正在进行投票，预期这将是竞争非常激烈的总统选举角逐。前总统藤森谦也(Alberto Fujimori)的女儿藤森庆子(Keiko Fujimori)将对阵平民主义者，前军事官员乌马拉(Ollanta Humala)。藤森庆子曾努力推行自由市场改革，但是批评家担心如果她当选，她可能会赦免自己的父亲。同时，乌马拉被指控与左翼委内瑞拉总统查韦斯的关系太密切。当然，乌马拉本人否认了这项指控。

Nuclear scientists say they've made a dramatic breakthrough in the elusive quest for anti-matter, a crucial component in the Big Bang theory for the origin of the Universe. Teams using the giant Cern particle accelerator deep under the Swiss-French border say they've succeeded in storing anti-hydrogen atoms. Imogen Foulkes reports from Geneva.

核科学家表示，他们在探寻反物质方面取得了突破性的进展。反物质是宇宙起源大爆炸理论的一个关键组成部分。使用瑞士和法国边境地下Cern一台巨大的粒子加速器的研究团队表示，他们成功地俘获反氢原子。Imogen Foulkes在日内瓦报道。

The news that scientists at Cern have managed to trap anti-hydrogen atoms for over 16 minutes - the previous record was just 0.2 second - means they will be able to study the properties of anti-matter in detail. The research will take time, but scientists hope it will eventually explain what really happened during the first moments of our Universe and reveal the mystery over what became of its other half.

Cern(欧洲核子研究委员会)的科学家成功的存储这种反氢原子长达16分钟的时间，此前一次只有0.2秒。这意味着他们能够详细研究反物质的特性。研究将需要一定的时间，但是科学家希望最终能够解释我们的宇宙最初形成时的情景，并解释残缺一半的宇宙的奥秘。
