The head of the United Nations observer team for Syria have arrived there to take charge of the advance deployment. The Norwegian general, Robert Mood, and his team will have the job of monitoring a poorly observed ceasefire that's now in its third week. Jim Muir reports.

联合国赴叙利亚观察团团长已抵达叙利亚，进行深入部署的管理工作。挪威将军Robert Mood和他的小队将负责监督执行不力的停火协议，目前已是该协议执行的第三周。Jim Muir报道。

Major General Mood faces a daunting task, and he knows it. Arriving in Damascus, he said he believed the observer team he will be heading can make a difference, but he cautioned against any expectations that they alone can achieve miracles. So far there are only 30 observers now in the country. Major General Mood said that number would double in the coming days and build up rapidly to the full strength of 300. Some predictions, however, have been that it may take many weeks for that to happen as it's proving a painfully slow process.

少将Mood面临的任务很艰巨，他也明白这点。一抵达大马士革，他就表示，相信自己带领的观察团会有所作为，但他警告说，不要期待单靠他们自己就可以创造奇迹。到目前为止，该国只有30名观察员。少将Mood说，未来几天内人数会翻两倍，将快速组建足额300人的团队。然而，有人预料说，这要需要很多个周的努力来实现，因为事实已证明这是个缓慢而痛苦的过程。

Gunmen in northern Nigeria's biggest city Kano have attacked a university, killing 16 people and wounding many others. Witnesses said several attackers threw explosives at a church service on Bayero University campus. They then opened fire as worshippers fled the scene. The attack is similar to others carried out by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

尼日利亚北部最大城市卡诺的武装人员袭击了一所大学，杀死16人，伤及多人。目击者称，在Bayero大学校园中，数名袭击者向礼拜仪式投掷炸弹。做礼拜的人抛离现场时，袭击者就朝他们开枪。这次袭击案与伊斯兰博科圣地军事组织实施的其他袭击案类似。

The dominant party in Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood, says the ruling military council has agreed to reshuffle the cabinet. The state-run news agency said Islamists would be brought in. The announcement came shortly after parliament suspended work for a week in protest at the military's reluctance to sack the interim government and invite the Brotherhood to form an administration.

埃及最大党穆斯林兄弟组织称，执政军事委员会已同意重组内阁。国家新闻机构称将引入伊斯兰人，就在声明发布的不久前，由于军队不愿解雇临时政府，议会就暂停工作一周以示抗议，并邀请兄弟组织组建政府。

The English Football Association says it's approached Roy Hodgson about the national team manager's job. He's currently at West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League. The new manager will lead England to the European Championships in Ukraine and Poland. This report from Tim Franks.

英国足协称将任命罗伊·霍奇森担任国家队教练一职，霍奇森目前就职于英超西布罗姆维奇俱乐部。新教练将带领英格兰队参加乌克兰和波兰举办的欧洲锦标赛。Tim Franks报道。

This is a decision that is both in its way surprising and conservative. At 64, Roy Hodgson has enormous experience. His last tenure was a brief and unhappy six months at Liverpool, but now at West Brom with relatively meagre resources he's piloted the club to mid-table safety in the Premier League. The surprise is that ever since Fabio Capello walked from the England manager's job in February, the overwhelming favourite among the public and the pundits to take over had been the Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

这个决定出人意外，又据保守性。现年64岁的罗伊·霍奇森身经百战。他上份职务在利物浦队，为时很短且并不愉快，只有6个月，但目前在西布罗姆，凭借贫乏的资源，他带领俱乐部温占英超中游位置。令人吃惊的人，自从2月份法比奥·卡佩罗离开英格兰教练一职后，公众最喜欢的能接替该职位的专家一直是托特纳姆队的老板哈里·雷德克纳普。
