The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned Israel shelling of a UN school in Gaza where thousands of Palestinians were taking shelters as outrageous. Mr. Ban said nothing was more shameful than attacking sleeping children. Fifteen people were killed in the attack and many more wounded. From the UN, Nick Bryant reports. 

联合国秘书长潘基文强烈谴责以色列攻击加沙联合国学校，当时数千名巴勒斯坦人正在里面寻求庇护，称其行为惨无人道令人发指。潘基文表示没有任何事比攻击睡梦中的孩子更可耻。15人在此次袭击中丧生，多人受伤。尼克科比在联合国报道。

Ban Ki-moon called the attack reprehensible, outrageous and unjustifiable, and demanded accountability and justice. More than 3,000 homeless people had took refuge at the school, and its precise location had been communicated to the Israeli military 17 times as recently as just a few hours before the attack. It's the second time in a week that a UN school housing refugees has been hit. The White House has also condemned the shelling and said it was extremely concerned that Palestinians who'd been called upon by the Israeli military to evacuate their homes were not safe in UN-designated shelters.

潘基文表示此次袭击是一次无耻无情无理应受到强烈谴责的袭击行为，并要求伸张责任和正义。至少3000名无家可归人士在联合国学校寻求避难，并且学校精确位置在以色列方面展开袭击前的几个小时就已经通知以色列军方17遍。这是一周之内联合国学校难民营第二次遭到攻击。白宫方面也表示强烈谴责以色列这一行为并表示非常担心在联合国学校寻求避难的巴勒斯坦人安危。

Argentine officials and lawyers representing a group of hedge funds had resumed negotiations in a race against time to avoid a second Argentine default in 13 years. The hedge funds are demanding full repayment on 1.3 billion dollars worth of bonds they bought at discount after the country last defaulted in 2001. From Buenos Aires, Katy Watson reports.

Time is running out, but the fact that both sides are still locked in talks has been taken as a positive sign by both Argentineans and financial markets. Argentina has always made clear it would not pay what President Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner calls vouchers, funds she says that took advantage of Argentina's vows to make a big profit. The country said that if it was to repay these funds, then other bond-holders who agreed to cut during restructuring may also demand full repayment, something Argentina could not afford.

时间已经不多了，实际上双方仍然在就此问题展开讨论无论对阿根廷方面或者对金融市场方面都是非常好的现象。阿根廷一直表明其不会支付总统Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner所谓的凭证和资金，她说对冲基金会利用阿根廷承诺获利一大笔基金。如果同意赔偿之后那其他折扣债券持有者也会要求全额赔偿，阿根廷是支付不起这项索赔的。

A deep-sea octopus has been observed keeping a record-breaking vigil of nearly 4.5 years over her eggs, the longest brooding time known for any animal. The devoted eight-legged mother was first seen by ecologists in 2007 deep down in the Monterey Canyon off California. A month later she laid her eggs there and began her long watch. The researchers say the unprecedented behavior was an adaptation to the cold water at that depth, giving her babies plenty of time to develop.
