Egypt's main opposition coalition, the National Salvation Front, has called for renewed mass protests on Tuesday against the draft constitution put forward by President Mohammed Mursi. It also strongly reiterated its rejection of the referendum on the draft, planned in less than a week's time. Jon Leyne in Cairo has more.

埃及主要反对派联盟救国阵线呼吁周二再度举行大规模抗议，反对总统穆罕默德·穆尔西推出的宪法草案。该组织重申反对就草案进行公投，该草案在不到一周内就匆忙制定成。

In a statement, the opposition National Salvation Front said that holding a referendum now in the absence of security reflected haste and the absence of responsibility, and it risked pushing the country towards a violent confrontation. The president himself has ordered the military to maintain security and to protect state institutions in the run-up to the referendum. That's a move that will raise fears that the country is moving back towards a military rule not long after the handover to a civilian government.

反对派救国阵线在声明中表示，在缺乏安全的条件下举行公投说明行事匆忙，且不负责任，有将国家推向暴力对抗的危险。总统本人下令军队维持治安，保护国家机构对公投做准备。此举令人担心这个刚刚由民主政府接管的国家有再度回到军事统治的危险。

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has denied that Russia is holding talks on the fate of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or that his country's position on the situation in Syria has altered. He was speaking ahead of a new round of discussions on Syria in Geneva. Mike Wooldridge reports.

有传闻称俄罗斯正就叙利亚总统阿萨德命运问题进行谈判，且俄罗斯在叙利亚局势上的立场已经改变，对此俄罗斯外长谢尔盖·拉夫罗夫表示否认。日内瓦即将就叙利亚问题进行新一轮讨论，麦克·伍尔德里奇报道。

Mr. Lavrov said the Americans have begun to suggest that Russia was softening its position. No such thing, he said, Russia was not conducting any negotiations on the fate of President Assad, and all attempt to portray things differently were unscrupulous. He said the priority was to end fighting, not discuss the fate of one man. Despite this, Mr. Brahimi said that at today's official-level talks, there was an agreement that it was still possible to find a political solution to the crisis. He also said the situation in Syria is bad and getting worse.

拉夫罗夫称美国人认为俄罗斯正在软化其立场，事实上并非如此，他说并未就总统阿萨德的命运进行任何协商，任何有出入的描述都是不审慎的。他说最重要的是结束战争，而非某个人的命运。尽管如此，卜拉希米称在今天官方谈判已经达成协议，可能有助于为解决危机找到政治办法。他说叙利亚军事正在每况愈下。

Fighting is continuing in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli between supporters and opponents of the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Six people have been killed and at least 40 wounded in clashes today. Since last Tuesday, 19 people have died in the fighting. The violence is putting Alawis, to which the Assad family belongs, against Sunni Muslims.

Riot police in Ghana have fired teargas at more than 200 opposition supporters protesting outside the headquarters of the Election Commission in the capital, Accra.

在加纳首都阿克拉选举委员会总部外，防暴警察向200多名反对派支持者发射催泪弹。据悉现任总统约翰·德拉马尼·马哈马与反对派候选人纳纳·阿库福·阿多势均力敌。BBC非洲编辑理查德·汉密尔顿报道。

Police and soldiers have cordoned off the headquarters of the Electoral Commission to prevent any further protests. Inside the building, the Commission has been holding an emergency session to decide how to deal with the allegations of frauds. The opposition accuses the ruling party of massaging the voting figures, all of this increasing the pressure on the electoral body to announce the results. Since the 1990s, Ghana has been considered a model of democracy. No other West African country has had so many elections deemed free and fair. But now that reputation seems to be hanging in the balance.

警察和军人封锁了选举委员会总部，防止发生进一步的抗议活动。大楼内部，委员会正在举行紧急会议，商讨如何处理诈骗指控。反对派指控执政党伪造选举数据，这使得选举委员会面临宣布结果的更大压力。自20世纪90年代以来，加纳一直被视为民主的典范。西非其他国家的选举都不如加纳这般自由公平。但如今加纳的名声似乎难保。
