The Pakistani Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani says his country doesn't trust the United States and the feeling is mutual. Mr Gillani told the BBC it could be weeks before Pakistan lifts its blockade of Nato convoys carrying supplies to Afghanistan. Relations between the US and Pakistan have been in crisis since 24 Pakistani soldiers were killed in a Nato air strike on two border posts last month. Mr Gillani said relations with the US must be improved.

巴基斯坦总理优素福·拉扎·吉拉尼称其国家不信任美国，美国也有这样的感觉。吉拉尼告诉BBC，几周后巴基斯坦将取消其关于禁止北约使团向阿富汗运送供应品的限制。自上月24名巴基斯坦士兵在北约空袭中被杀以来，美国和巴基斯坦关系一直处于危机中。吉拉尼说，必须改善与美国的关系。

The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says he's ordered an investigation into all allegations of fraud in last weekend's parliamentary election. Mr Medvedev made his statement on the social network Facebook, and 4,000 people used the president's page to respond with what in a random sample were mostly hostile comments. On Saturday, Russia saw its biggest protests yet against the governing party of Vladimir Putin. Our Moscow correspondent Daniel Sandford reports.

In the topsy-turvy world, that is, Russian politics, President Dmitry Medvedev's announcement was made on his Facebook page rather than through any formal Kremlin statement. He said that he'd given instructions for checks to be made on whether polling stations had complied with election laws. But there was nothing specific about who would conduct the limited investigation, and he gave no ground on the protesters' main demand that Sunday's elections to the Duma should be held again. Neither President Medvedev nor the more powerful Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has appeared at a public event for three weeks since Mr Putin was booed at a martial arts fight. The response to President Medvedev's Facebook announcement was thousands of angry comments from people saying they didn't believe him.

Mr de Villepin was linked to a smear campaign against Mr Sarkozy but was cleared of all charges last year.
