警方击毙法国杀人男子

BBC News with Jonathan Izard

The man who said he killed seven people in al-Qaeda-inspired attacks in France has been shot dead by a police marksman. Mohammed Merah was hiding in the bathroom of his apartment in Toulouse when commandos broke in after a 30-hour siege. A French prosecutor said he fired more than 30 bullets at them before being killed. Our correspondent Christian Fraser reports from Toulouse.

The final acts of the most dramatic siege that had lasted over 30 hours. It was thought Mohammed Merah had taken his own life in the early hours of this morning. But as elite commandos moved in to clear the apartment, picking their way through each room with fibre-optic cameras, the gunman suddenly appeared at the bathroom door. There was an intense shoot-out. Merah advanced wearing a bullet-proof vest, firing wildly before he jumped out of the window. But outside was a police marksman who shot him dead.

国际社会纷纷谴责马里军队

President Sarkozy said French Muslims must not be stigmatised because of the gunman's actions.

There's been international condemnation of Malian troops who've overthrown the government of President Amadou Toumani Toure. A rebel spokesman said the soldiers would return the country to democracy as soon as national unity and integrity were assured. The United States joined France and the African Union in denouncing the coup. The American position was expressed by the State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland.

"The United States condemns the military seizure of power in Mali. We echo the statements of the African Union, of Ecowas and of other international partners in denouncing these actions. We've called for calm; we've called for restoration of the civilian government under constitutional rule without delay so that the elections can proceed as scheduled."

油轮残骸中发现遇难者遗体

Five more bodies have been found inside the wreck of the cruise ship Costa Concordia, which capsized in January off the coast of Italy. A spokeswoman for the Italian Civil Protection Agency said this raised the confirmed number of dead to 30. From Rome, here's Alan Johnston.

It's more than two months now since the Costa Concordia sank off the island of Giglio. But still the hunt for the missing goes on. And in the course of the afternoon, those overseeing the search announced that they discovered three bodies. But first, they were said to be in a very inaccessible part of the hull. But later, it emerged that in fact the remains have been found just outside the wreck, trapped between it and the rocks of the seabed. Then, late in the evening, it was announced that a further two bodies had been discovered in the same area.

叙利亚政府军被指杀害逃亡难民

The United Nations Human Rights Council has passed a resolution calling on Sri Lanka to investigate war crimes allegedly committed during its long conflict with Tamil Tiger rebels. Sri Lanka campaigned hard against the vote, saying it would usurp its sovereignty. But the United States said Sri Lanka was not doing enough to hold those responsible for violations to account.

World News from the BBC

Activists say government forces in Syria have killed 10 people who were trying to escape to a refugee camp in Turkey. They say the victims, including three children, were travelling on a bus when it came under fire in Idlib province. Violence continued in many parts of Syria despite Wednesday's UN Security Council statement urging the withdrawal of troops from population centres.

足球暴力引发巨大冲突

Clashes resumed in the Egyptian city of Port Said after the funeral of a teenager who died in football-related violence. The first trouble began on Friday after the Port Said football club al-Masry was suspended for two years over a post-match riot last month in which more than 70 people were killed.

The leader of the military coup in Mali has told the BBC he's in complete control of the country. Captain Amadou Sanogo said he had no fear of a counter coup. But a BBC correspondent in the region says it's not clear how much support the captain has among high-ranking commanders. Tuareg rebels have taken advantage of the uncertainty to seize positions in the north. Captain Sanogo said he wanted peace talks with them.

土耳其15名女武装分子丧生

The Turkish government says 15 Kurdish militants, all of them women, have been killed in fighting with the security forces. The clashes took place in the southeastern province of Bitlis, which is a centre of the banned PKK militants. Jonathan Head is in Istanbul.

As many as one third of the PKK's fighting force are women - a legacy of the group's one-time Marxist ideology, which prioritised the raising of women's status in Kurdish society. So women casualties are not unusual, but for 15 women to be killed in a single clash certainly is. The Turkish interior ministry is giving few details of the incident. It occurred in Bitlis, a province known for strong PKK support, during a large-scale military operation against the organisation in the mountains bordering Iraq.

北京空气污染清理周期长

The authorities in Beijing say it'll be at least two decades before they get the Chinese capital's air pollution under control. Beijing came close to the bottom of a recent list

of the world's most polluted cities. Charles Scanlon reports.

The city authorities in Beijing have been stunned by a wave of criticism of the accuracy of their pollution figures. They are now trying to convince the sceptical public that they have a credible plan to tackle the problem. The vice-mayor Hong Feng said the best the city could hope for was to have air pollution under control within the next 20 years. He said that would include one of the biggest threats to health - the tiny particles in the air that until a recent controversy were not even measured by the Beijing authorities.

失踪渔船神奇再现

Charles Scanlon reporting

A Japanese fishing boat swept away by last year's earthquake and tsunami has been spotted adrift off the west coast of Canada. No one is believed to be on board the ship, which is still intact but badly rusted. However, the Canadian transport ministry is monitoring it for pollution. The vessel was registered in Hokkaido in Japan.

Those are the latest stories from BBC News.

美加强对伊朗石油制裁力度

The United States is preparing to increase oil sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme. President Obama has issued a statement saying there was enough oil on the world market to allow a significant reduction in purchases from Iran. Paul Adams reports from Washington.

After June, financial institutions that continue to buy oil through Iran's central bank, where almost all such transactions are processed, will face sanctions. White House officials say the president decided to issue his statement after careful consideration of a number of factors, including global economic trends, supply and demand for non-Iranian oil, as well as spare capacity. There are exceptions: the US has already granted waivers to 10 EU countries and Japan because they've taken steps of their

own.

安南希叙利亚政府立即停火

The international envoy Kofi Annan says he expects the Syrian government to implement an agreed ceasefire immediately. A spokesman for Mr Annan said he wanted the authorities to halt the use of heavy weaponry in towns and withdraw soldiers to barracks because then the opposition would respond. Correspondents say there's no sign yet that the government is in the mood to make gestures to the opposition. There was more heavy bombardment in Homs and other places during the day.

The Spanish government has announced spending cuts of more than $36bn to try to reduce its deficit and strengthen the economy. The deputy prime minister called the budget proposal severely austere, but essential. Here's Tom Burridge.

海地首都爆发泥石流后果严重

Six people have died in Haiti after heavy rains caused a mudslide which destroyed homes in the capital Port-au-Prince. An official with Haiti's civil protection agency said the mudslide occurred in Morne Calvaire - a slum area on a hillside. There have been two weeks of heavy rain in Haiti, triggering repeated flooding and landslides after the rainy season started early.

Football's world governing body Fifa has agreed new anti-corruption reforms after independent experts issued a scathing assessment of its investigations into earlier scandals. They called Fifa's handling of bribery claims "unsatisfactory" and "unconvincing". Fifa's reputation was hit by claims of bribery and vote rigging during Mr Blatter's re-election last year and during the contests to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cup finals.

The Brazilian police have detained 77 people and confiscated an arsenal of weapons

in a major operation against drugs traffickers. More than 600 police were involved in the operation. Here's Warren Bull.

Police in Brazil say this is the largest operation they've ever launched in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul. In a series of raids in the city of Sao Borja, they seized weapons, money, vehicles and quantities of cocaine and marijuana. The police chief heading the operation said up to 13 different drug gangs had been identified in the city, including one with 40 members. Sao Borja is on the main transit route for drugs and contraband between Brazil and the neighbouring countries - Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

塔利班向阿富汗发动袭击

BBC News with Marion Marshall

Taliban militants have carried out a series of attacks in the centre of the Afghan capital Kabul. Nato bases, the parliament and Western embassies all came under fire. Afghan security forces are still trying to clear heavily armed insurgents from several areas. The first explosions were in the morning, and exchanges of gunfire continued after nightfall. The Afghan government said a number of gunmen had been killed, but no civilians or members of the security forces. A Taliban spokesman, Zabiullah Mujahid, explained the motivation behind the attacks.

潘基文对叙利亚表示担忧

"These attacks were revenge for the brutal actions of foreigners, such as urinating on Taliban dead bodies, Koran burnings at Bagram airbase and killing of innocent civilians in Kandahar. This was one of the biggest attacks in terms of size so far this year, and it is still underway."

The United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says he's concerned about the shelling of the Syrian city of Homs as more fighting was reported involving government forces and rebels. Earlier, a spokesman for the UN envoy Kofi Annan asked all sides to observe a ceasefire which came into force last Thursday. Ahmad Fawzi told the BBC that the truce was precarious and fragile, but it could save Syria from plunging back into the abyss as he put it.

联合国对停火协议提出要求

"Both parties must be willing to end the violence and come to the negotiating table. We hope both sides will realise that this is a golden opportunity for them to put down their arms and to start talking. Negotiations are the only way out of this bloody crisis that has lasted for one year."

Their appeals come as UN ceasefire observers began to arrive in the country.

The United Nations has confirmed that at least one person has been killed by a Sudanese bombing raid on South Sudan. The local authorities say nine were killed and 24 wounded in different air attacks, and ground clashes are also reported. James Copnall reports from Khartoum.

North Korea Missile Launch Failure: New Threats?

The latest on that failed missile test by North Korea and a surprise the government was supposed to make the set back on state TV. ABC's * is tracking from Washington

Martha, and Pentagon and all of Asia on high alert for this test but it turned out to be another dud.

A totally dud. It was all over so quickly, George, that rocket was air-born for 81 seconds. The missile lifted up with no sign of trouble but right after the first stage boosted rocket, which pushes the rocket higher and faster. The missile just broke apart in flight. The debris fell into waters about 100 miles west of Soul, South Korea. It was over.

It sure was Martha. And there's a lot of concern now though that to make up for the embarrassment, North Korea is gonna plough and actually try to test a nuclear bomb. That is a concern. It's the first time ever that the North Korea said it acknowledged the failure of the rocket. So that was a big surprise to the administration, but there wre already fears that North Koreans would try to test another nuclear device, this time a uranium device, so everyone is bracing themselves for that development, George. They do not think this is over yet.

And the administration was hoping to have a new * in North Korea now that they have a new leader, they were offering food aid if North Korea didn't test this missile now. That's completely odd.

Yes. They basically completely reneged on this deal, so this is an embarrassment for the administration as well, but everyone is moving on-ward and looking to that nuclear device test which they think will come in the next few weeks.

Ok. Martha . Thanks very much.

U.S. Bridges, Roads Being Built by Chinese Firms

And as you know, ABC News is always looking for ways to bring American jobs back to America. So, this week, it was shocking to learn so many great infrastructure projects are under way in America, rebuilding bridges and roads in American cities, but they've hired Chinese firms and Chinese workers. Why?

20/20" anchor Chris Cuomo is the captain of our bringing America back team and he decided to track down those people who made these decisions.

Rebuilding America's crumbling infrastructure is now a priority.

Help us rebuild this bridge, help us rebuild America, help us put construction workers back to work.

In New York, a $400 million renovation of Alexander Hamilton Bridge;In California, a whopper, a $7.2 billion new bridge to connect San Francisco and Oakland; In Alaska, a proposed $190 million bridge project.Sounds like a great opportunity for government spending to actually lead to real jobs. The problem: Much of the work is going to Chinese government-owned contracting firms.

When we're subsidizing jobs in China, we're not creating any wealth in the United States.

In Alaska, outraged union workers took to the airwaves with an obvious point : This is not the time to send more jobs to China, our tax dollars provide hundreds of jobs there, not at home.

US law actually requires major infrastructure projects to buy America when the cost difference is reasonable. In California, US firms say they would have met those guidelines but state officials decided to turn down federal money for a major part of the bridge, allowing a Chinese company at cost of almost 3,000 American jobs, and potential $1 billion boost to the struggling California economy.

It would've had a multiplying effect, because it would have not only given thousands of Californians jobs ,but also the subsequent spending would have been reinvested back in our economy.

Is this the best way to bring America back?

We went to Californian officials who claimed the Chinese could do the work faster and cheaper.

Why can't the Americans do it as quickly as Chinese, what makes them so special? One issue that you will consistently hear, every time you go to a fabrication site this country is that they struggle at this point in time to obtain welders. That is an issue in this country.

So can you say that you guys have done everything you can to keep jobs here and building this bridge?

Absolutely.

But would American companies have done it, Chris, for a little less money and tried

to race it along.

The US firms say absolutely. They say they could have done this job. And there's a bigger point here. It's not a level playing field, the Chinese firms are state-owned. They don't pay their workers as much. That's why the Buy America laws were passed, if states can get around them, Diane, we never bring America back, you have to enforce the laws to let American companies play.

美国参议院共和党参议员几乎集体“否决”了总统奥巴马的“准竞选纲领”的法案——巴菲特规则议案。奥巴马筹谋已久的劫富济贫大计落空！

参议院共和党议员否决了民主党的“巴菲特规则”议案，拒绝强迫美国的富豪支付至少占他们收入30%的税收。奥巴马未能拿到60张支持票，法案以51票赞成，45票反对的结果遭到否决。

“巴菲特规则”是由罗德岛州民主党参议员谢尔顿-怀特豪斯(Sheldon Whitehouse)发起的，该议案主张将年收入超过200万美元的富豪们的至少30%收入上缴财政部，同时也增加对于年收入超过100万美元的富豪们的税收。这个议案的名称是根据亿万富翁股神巴菲特提出的，他极力支持向富豪们征更多的税。

On this vote, the yea is 51 and the nay is 45,three-fifths of the senators do the choice in sworn not having boarded the informative, the Motion is not agreed to. President,(the senator from Rhode Island.) Mr. President, let me ask a unanimous concern, if I may for the senate to proceed to appeal a morning business with senator's

permit to speak that around five to ten minutes each. (The objection?) Thank you, Mr. President, I will be closing the senate way shortly and before I do I want to say a few words about a topic that came up today.

Obviously,I was pleased that a majority of the senate, (indeed by Partison), majority of the senate has just voted to limit. And unfortunately, G. in the tax code, it allows people who make north of a quarter of billion dollars a year to pay lower tax rates than a private island truck driver. A pay if he is single. And I think that's pretty hard to justify, frankly. I think a lot of Americans spent last week preparing our taxes and I have heard from Warren Buffett, who one year paid 11 percent, all in federal tax rate, a rate obviously higher than Secretary paid, something that Mr. Buffett himself has complained about. There's a pretty wide sense to the American tax code serves special interests and people who have formidable amount of wealth, much better than the serves regular middle-class tax payers.
