Brazil’s Foreign Minister Antonio Patriota has spoken to his British counterpart about the detention of a Brazilian national at a London airport. David Miranda was held under anti-terrorism legislation for nine hours on his way to Rio de Janeiro and had electronic equipment seized. Mr Miranda is the partner of Glenn Greenwald, the journalist who published documents on a US surveillance programme he obtained from the fugitive intelligence agency contractor Edward Snowden. Earlier Mr Patriota denounced the incident.

巴西外长帕特里奥塔与英国外长通话，商谈一名巴西公民在伦敦机场被捕一事。在戴维·米兰达飞往里约的途中，他被英国根据反恐法拘留9小时，身上的电子设备也被扣押。米兰达是格伦·格林沃尔德的合作伙伴，后者是一名记者，他从逃亡的情报机构承包商爱德华·斯诺登那里获得美国监控项目的文件并予以发表。早些时候帕特里奥塔谴责了这一事件。

“We consider this nine-hour detention based on a law that applies to terror suspects unjustifiable. We hope it won’t happen again and I shall speak today to the British Foreign Minister William Hague to send him this message.”

“我们认为，按照针对恐怖嫌犯的法律将米兰达囚禁9小时是不合理的，我们希望这种事再也不要发生，我今天将与英国外长威廉·黑格通话，向他传达这个信息。”

The United States authorities said they knew that Mr Miranda’s questioning was likely to happen, but had not requested it. As David Willis reports:

美国当局称他们知道英国可能会质问米兰达，但美国并没要求此事。戴维德·威利斯报道。

The White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the decision to detain David Miranda was one the British authorities had taken on their own. He denied suggestions that the detention had been requested by the United States, although he said the US had been, as he put it, kept in the loop about the move. The US has repeatedly called for Edward Snowden to be extradited to the United States to face charges of espionage.

白宫发言人乔希·厄尼思特说，拘留戴维·米兰达一事是英国当局自己的决定，至于有传闻说这是美国的要求，他否认了这种说法，尽管他说美国一直密切关注事情的发展。美国多次呼吁将爱德华·斯诺登引渡到美国接受间谍罪的指控。

State prosecutors in Egypt have brought new charges against the deposed Islamist President Mohamed Morsi, saying that he’s to be investigated on allegations of inciting violence. The charges relate to the deaths of several people during protests against Mr Morsi outside the presidential palace last December. Mr Morsi has not been seen since he was deposed and detained by the army seven weeks ago. The announcement came hours after 24 police officers were killed in an attack by suspected Islamist militants in the Sinai Peninsula, further deepening the political crisis in Egypt. Masha MacAlea reports.

埃及国家公诉人对被废总统穆罕默德·穆尔西进行新的指控，称将以煽动暴力罪对他进行调查。这些指控与去年12月总统官邸外9人在反对穆尔西的抗议中丧生有关。自从7周前穆尔西被军方废黜并拘留以来再也没有露面。就在此前，西奈半岛发生袭击案，24名警官遭到嫌疑伊斯兰武装分子的杀害，这就使得埃及的政治危机进一步加剧。Masha Macalea报道。

They were riding in two different buses in the Rafah area in northern Sinai when they were stopped, pulled out of the buses and gunned down, according to security reports. This just goes to show how vulnerable Sinai is and really what a hotbed it has become for these regular attacks on security forces, again another security challenge, another security front for the army to have to deal with.

根据安全部门的报道，当时这些警官正乘坐不同的大巴行驶在西奈北部拉法地区，然后被阻拦，被拖出大巴并击毙。这说明西奈已经非常危险，已经成为安全部队经常遭受袭击的温床，同时也是另一个安全挑战，是军队必须应对的安全前线。

The Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has called for a dialogue with extremists to end the violence that has left thousands of people dead. In his first televised address to the nation as prime minister, Mr Sharif said he wanted to end terrorism either through dialogue, reconciliation or through full use of force. He said the state institutions and intelligence agencies had been incompetent in tackling violence. He also offered an olive branch to arch-rival India, saying instead of wasting energy and resources on wars, the two countries should wage battles against poverty, ignorance and disease.

巴基斯坦总理纳瓦兹·谢里夫呼吁与恐怖分子进行对话，结束导致数千人丧生的暴力活动。在他担任总理的首次电视讲话中，谢里夫说，他希望通过对话、和解或全面运用武力的办法来结束恐怖主义。他说国家机构和情报部门在对付暴力方面无能，他还向宿敌印度伸出橄榄枝，称两国不应该在战争上浪费精力和资源，而应该共同对付贫困、无知和疾病。
