European leaders have reached agreement at an emergency meeting in Brussels on a new bailout for Greece in an effort to prevent the eurozone debt crisis from spreading. The European Union President Herman van Rompuy said the programme would be financed by the EU, the IMF and the private sector. He insisted that Europe would defend its currency.

欧洲领导人在布鲁塞尔召开的紧急会议上达成协议，为希腊提供新的救助，防止欧元区债务危机蔓延。欧盟总统范龙佩表示，这次救助项目将由欧盟，国际货币基金组织和私营部门提供资金。他坚持称，欧洲将会保护自己的货币。

"Today, ladies and gentlemen, with all these decisions we have shown that we will not waver in the defence of our monetary union and our common currency. Final remark: when European leaders say that we will do everything what is required to save the eurozone, it is very simple. We mean it."

“女士们，先生们，今天，我们作出的所有决定都表明，在保卫我们的货币同盟，保卫我们的共同货币方面，我们绝对不会动摇。最确定的一点是：如果欧洲领导人说我们会采取一切必要措施拯救欧元区，那么，非常简单，我们一定会说到做到。”

Some news just in, the BBC has learnt that a senior journalist at the Sun newspaper, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch's media group, has been sacked in connection with phone hacking. It's not clear whether the journalist previously worked for the now defunct News of the World, which is at the heart of the hacking scandal here in Britain.

刚刚收到的新闻，BBC获悉，默多克媒体集团下属太阳报一名资深记者因窃听门被解雇。目前还不清楚这名记者以前是否曾经在已经停止发行的世界新闻报工作过。世界新闻报是英国窃听丑闻的焦点。

Syrian security forces are reported to have intensified their operation against anti-government protesters in the country's third biggest city Homs. A Syrian human rights activist told the BBC that government forces have killed at least two people. Owen Bennett-Jones reports from Beirut.

据报道，叙利亚安全力量加强了在第三大城市霍姆斯市打击反政府抗议者的行动。一名叙利亚人权积极分子告诉BBC，政府力量已经杀害了至少2人。Owen Bennett-Jones在贝鲁特报道。

The protesters and the security forces in Homs are locked in a protracted and violent battle of wills. For days now, residents have been saying that they are frightened and stuck in their homes, listening to gunfire outside. On the streets, there are checkpoints and a heavy security presence as the authorities seek to arrest protest organisers. It seems that some of the violence in Homs has been sectarian with the city's Sunni and Alawite communities clashing. Both the government and opposition accuse each other of encouraging sectarian violence.

霍姆斯市的抗议者和安全力量陷入冗长的，暴力的斗争中。几天以来，居民们表示，他们一直非常恐惧，一直待在家中听着外面的枪声。在街道上，安全力量设置了检查点，大量安全人员外出，当局试图逮捕抗议组织者。看上去霍姆斯市的一些冲突与宗派有关，逊尼派和阿拉维派发生冲突。政府和反对派互相指控对方煽动宗派暴力。

NATO says it's investigating how its computer network was hacked. A group of international hackers calling themselves Anonymous said they had breached NATO security and downloaded hundreds of confidential documents. The cyber attack comes days after 21 suspected members of Anonymous were arrested in the US, Britain and the Netherlands. Caroline Hawley reports.

北约表示正在调查电脑网络遭遇袭击事件。一些自称“匿名者”的国际黑客声称他们攻破了北约的安全防火墙，下载了数百份机密文件。这次网络袭击事件发生在“匿名者”组织21名成员在美国，英国和荷兰被捕之后。Caroline Hawley报道。

According to Anonymous, its hackers have now laid their hands on one gigabyte of restricted data. The documents they posted online don't appear to contain information that will concern NATO too much. But a NATO official condemned any leak of classified documents, saying they could potentially endanger security. A splinter group of Anonymous has previously hacked the website of the CIA and of Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency. Taunting NATO on Twitter, Anonymous says it has more of what it calls the organisation's "delicious data".

据“匿名者”组织所说，他们现在正在入侵十亿字节的保密数据。他们发表的互联网上的文件似乎不包含与北约有太多关系的信息。但是北约一名官员谴责任何机密文件的泄漏，称他们会潜在地危害安全形势。“匿名者”的一个分支组织此前曾经入侵了CIA和英国重大组织犯罪署的网站。“匿名者”组织在Twitter上嘲讽北约称，他们还有很多关于北约的有趣的机密数据。
