The Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made his strongest denunciation yet of Syria's President Assad. "No regime," Mr Erdogan said, "can survive by killing and jailing its opponents." The Arab League has already suspended Syria for failing to implement an Arab peace initiative. Jonathan Head is in Istanbul.

土耳其总理雷杰普·塔伊普·埃尔多安强烈谴责叙利亚总统阿萨德,他说:“没有政权能在屠杀和囚禁反对派后继续存活。”因叙利亚未能实施阿盟的一项和平倡议,已被阿盟已暂停成员国资格,Jonathan Head报道。

The Turkish prime minister is habitually outspoken. Even so, his latest rebuke of President Assad, a man he considered a personal friend until a few months ago, was dramatic. "No regime," warned Mr Erdogan, "can survive by killing and jailing. No one can build a future on the blood of the oppressed." Turkey has now stopped cooperation on energy projects and says it's considering further sanctions which would not hurt ordinary people. Turkish business leaders say trade, which was worth around $2.5bn last year, has all but stopped.

土耳其总理一向言语坦率,尽管如此,对此阿萨德总统,这个直到数月前还视为好友的人,其最近的批评也是很激烈的。埃尔多安说,“没有政权能在杀戮和监禁中存活,没有人能以被压迫者的鲜血来成就未来。”土耳其已停止能源项目上的合作,表示将在不伤害民众的条件下考虑进一步制裁。土耳其商界领导人称,去年的贸易额约为15亿美元,但现在已全部停止。

Protesters in New York have remained on the streets after police cleared their two-month-old anti-Wall Street protest camp from a park in the financial district. Police arrested about 200 protesters after moving in early on Tuesday to clear the camp. Here's Barbara Plett in New York.

警察清理了反华尔街运动者在金融区公园搭了两个月的帐篷,但纽约的抗议者还停在大街上。警方周二早上清理帐篷后,逮捕了约200名抗议者,Barbara Plett在纽约报道。

The lawyers for the Occupy Wall Street protesters are challenging the eviction. They've filed an injunction with the court, saying essentially that the mayor and the city needed a court order in order to evict the protesters from the park and they didn't get one. And there is a hearing on this as to whether the eviction is in fact legal. In the meantime, the protesters are still milling about. It's not clear what's going to happen next, but definitely the activists are around in the streets of Manhattan and vowing to keep up their protests.

An American biotechnology company says it's been forced to stop trials using embryonic stem cells in humans owing to the high costs. The trials, the first of their kind in the world, involve the treatment of patients with spinal injuries. Matt McGrath reports.

美国一家生物公司称,由于高昂的成本,被迫停止用人体胚胎细胞做实验。这种实验在全世界是首次,涉及对脊椎损害病人的治疗。Matt McGrath报道。

Just over a year ago, Geron Corporation announced that they had enrolled their first patients in a clinical trial of embryonic stem cells to treat spinal injuries. It was hoped that the cells, which have the potential to develop into any type of body tissue, would repair damaged spines and one day allow patients to walk again. But the company say that while the treatment has been well tolerated by patients and had no serious adverse events, the large financial burden involved has forced them to axe the trial, lay off staff and halt development of their stem cell programmes.
