Sudan says a huge fire that engulfed1 in arms factory in the capital Khartoum on Tuesday night was caused by an air attack and it accused Israel of being responsible. The Sudanese information minister said four aircrafts flown in to attack the Yarmouk plant. Our defense2 correspondent Jonathan Marcus reports.
苏丹称首都喀土穆周二一家兵器厂的大火是由空袭引起的，称以色列为此事负责。苏丹情报部长称有私家飞机前来袭击耶尔穆克工厂。BBC国防记者Jonathan Marcus报道。
The aircrafts approached the factory from the east, the Sudanese information minister Ahmed Belal Osman told the reporters in Khartoum, blaming the attack on Israeli air force. Israeli officials have refused any comment. Israel is widely believed to be responsible for similarly mysteriously air attacks against two arms convoys4 in northeastern Sudan back in early 2009. The argument then boasted by leaked U.S. diplomatic cables was that these were secret weapon shipments from Iran destine for Hamas in the Gaza strip.
这几家飞机从东而来，苏丹情报部长奥斯曼在喀土穆如是告诉记者，他谴责以色列空军实施了此次袭击。以色列官员拒绝发表评论。2009年初苏丹东北部两支武器车队遭到类似的神秘空袭，普遍认为以色列是幕后黑手。这个论断后来在美国泄密的外交电报中进一步加以夸耀，称这些神秘的武器是从伊朗运来的，是为加沙地带的哈马斯提供的。
The international envoy5 to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi says the Syrian government and some rebel groups have agreed to a truce6 to cover the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. The surprised announcement raises hopes of breakthrough in the 19 months old conflict. Barbara Plett reports from New York.
赴叙利亚国际使者卜拉希米说叙利亚政府和部分叛军组织同意休战，来欢度穆斯林的古尔邦节日。这个突如其来的声明让人们在这场长达19个月的冲突中看到了希望。Barbara Plett在纽约报道。
Diplomats7 who attended a closed Security Council briefing said Mr. Brahimi acknowledged there was not trust between the government and opposition8 so no guarantee that the short cease fire would be effective. But he said he hoped a small step could improve humanitarian9 access and create political space for dialogue. Mr. Brahimi told the council that the government had accepted the truce although a final announcement would be made on Thursday. But the Syrian authorities say they are still studying the proposal. Key rebel brigades say they will only observe it if the army does. And Islamist militants10 have rejected it.
参加联合国秘密简报会议的外交家称，卜拉希米承认政府和反对派之间互不信任，所以无法保障这次短期停火是否会生效。但他说，希望能取得微小的进展，来改善人道主义渠道，为对话创造政治空间。卜拉希米告诉委员会，政府已接受停战提议，尽管还需在周四签署最后声明。但叙利亚当局称目前仍在研究这项提议。主要的叛军部队称只要政府军遵守协议，他们就会遵守。伊斯兰武装人员拒绝接受该提议。

Professor Robin15 Lovell-Badge, the national institute for medical research in London, said the results were encouraging.

It was done with a reasonable efficiency and they caught the embryos they have obtained. At the end of it, and it seems to be good, then more tests need to be done, and ideally the whole process needs to be repeated preferably by a different lab but it is looking good.
实验很有效果，他们得到了这种胚胎。结果表明很不错，不过还要进行大量的测试，从理论上说，需要由其他实验室反复进行整个过程，但目前看起来结果不错。
The researchers say the procedure raises its ethical16 and scientific concerns and it will take several years before it is proved for general use.
