A military court in the United States has found the American soldier Bradley Manning guilty of 20 charges related to espionage but not guilty of the most serious charge of aiding the enemy. He’d been accused of leaking hundreds of thousands of secret documents to the website WikiLeaks. Jonny Dymond reports.

美国一军事法庭判决陆军士兵曼宁(Bradley Manning)与泄露机密资料相关的20项控罪成立,但是最严重的协助敌人罪名不成立。他被指控向维基解密网站泄露了无数机密文件。Jonny Dymond报道。

On the most serious charge: aiding the enemy, Bradley Manning is not guilty. It was always going to be a horrid hurdle for the prosecution. The judge made it clear in April that they would have to show that Bradley Manning had reason to believe that the files he leaked could harm the US or aid its enemies. But Judge Denise Lind has found Bradley Manning guilty on all the other charges including espionage. The maximum sentence for these charges would see Private Manning spend decades in prison.

关于最严重的一项控罪“协助敌人”,曼宁(Bradley Manning)是无罪的。起诉程序一直存在难以逾越的障碍。四月份,法官明确表示,他们必须证明,曼宁有理由相信他泄露的这些文件会危害美国或协助敌人。但是林德(Denise Lind)法官裁决曼宁其他所有罪名成立,包括从事间谍活动。这些控罪的最高刑期将使陆军士兵曼宁在监狱中度过几十年的时间。

“双方今天在这里一致同意,所有悬而未决的问题,所有有争议的问题,所有的一切都将进行谈判。今天他们谈判的目标非常简单:终止冲突,终止伤亡。”

The chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said he was delighted. His Israeli counterpart Tzipi Livni said that after years of stalemate, she was hopeful but not na?ve.

Experts investigating the Spanish train crash which killed 79 people last week have told a court that black box data recorders show the driver was talking on the phone when the accident happened outside Santiago de Compostela. James Robins reports.

调查上周造成79人死亡的西班牙火车脱轨事件的专家告诉法庭,黑匣子数据记录器显示,事故在圣地亚哥德孔波斯特拉外发生时,司机正在打电话。James Robins报道。

A Spanish court says that data recorders fitted to the high-speed train show that it was traveling at 153 km/h almost twice the speed limit for that section of track when the train derailed. But the court also says the driver Francisco Jose Garzon was talking on the phone to an official of the state railway company Renfe when his train jumped the rails and he was apparently consulting a piece of paper at the time. The court inquiry is still in its early stages but these suggestions will add to a sense of outrage which is mingled with grief across Spain.

西班牙一家法庭表示,这辆高速火车上的数据记录器显示,列车脱轨时正以每小时153千米的速度高速运行,是该路段限行速度的两倍。但是法庭还表示,火车脱轨时,司机贾尔松(Francisco JoseGarzon)正在与铁路公司官员通话,很明显他当时正在咨询一份文件。法院调查仍在早期阶段,但是这些消息会让悲伤笼罩的西班牙增加愤怒的情绪。

The United Nations has given rebels from the M23 group in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo 48 hours to disarm in the area around Goma warning that force will be used against them if they don’t. Here is our UN correspondent Nick Bryant.

联合国给予刚果(金)东部反政府武装“M23运动”48小时的时间来解除在戈马地区的武装,并警告称如果做不到的话会对他们采取武力。我们的联合国通讯员Nick Bryant报道。

The UN says it wants to establish a security zone in Goma and its northern suburbs. And its 3,000 strong intervention brigade has been mandated to use lethal force to achieve its mission. Since launching an offensive two weeks ago, the UN says the M23 has used indiscriminate fire including heavy weapons which has resulted in civilian casualties. It’s also targeted UN installations with its fire. The M23 managed to occupy Goma for ten days last November, an offensive that UN peacekeepers were unable to stop.

联合国表示,他们希望在戈马及其北部郊区建立安全区域。其3,000人组成的强劲干预旅团已经获得使用致命武力来完成任务的权利。自两周前发动进攻以来,联合国表示,“M23运动”肆意开火,包括使用重武器,造成了平民伤亡。他们还用炮火袭击了联合国军事设施。去年11月份,“M23运动”成功占领戈马地区十天的时间,联合国维和人员难以制止。
