美国9.11恐怖袭击九周年纪念活动几个小时之后，抗议者发起了反对在袭击发生的归零地附近建立伊斯兰中心的示威活动。我们的记者Matt Wells报道。

反对在归零地附近建立穆斯林文化中心的超过1,000名抗议者参加了由反对美国伊斯兰化运动组织的集会。来自此前类似规模的支持该工程的示威者混入人群后面，引发激烈的争吵。一些发言者走向讲台斥责伊斯兰在西方国家发挥的作用时，大量警察出动维持秩序。9.11纪念仪式被一场辩论压倒，目前还没有任何妥协的迹象。

在较早些时候举办的纪念仪式上，9.11恐怖袭击数千名受害者亲属在世贸中心双子大楼遗址归零地聚集。Laura Trevelyan在现场报道。

人群默哀之后一声响铃象征着第一架被劫持的客机撞上世贸中心北座。随后是熟悉的惯例，宣读遇难者名单。

"James Patrick Berger. Steven Howard Berger. John P Bergin..."

今年的纪念仪式非常不愉快，被牧师琼斯焚烧可兰经的威胁蒙上了阴影。今天早上，他在纽约重申自己已经放弃了该计划。但是这扩大了关于在归零地附近建立穆斯林社区中心和清真寺计划的争议。

希腊总理帕潘德里欧(George Papandreou)表示，他不会放松政府严厉的紧缩政策。在塞萨洛尼基贸易展览会上发表讲话时，他表示，这是关系到希腊存亡的斗争。Malcolm Brabant在现场报道。

对于那些希望能够缓解紧缩措施，以及希望政府承诺保护弱势群体的人来说，这并不是什么好消息。帕潘德里欧的首要任务是刺激经济。许多企业称，经济被增税和减薪措施拖垮，因为这样的话人们就不会消费。在国际货币基金组织和欧盟要求减少支出的压力下，帕潘德里欧没有任何机动的空间。

印度管辖的克什米尔地区警方鸣枪示警，并发射催泪弹来驱散反对印度统治的数万名抗议者。祈祷者开始庆祝伊斯兰开斋节后，克什米尔山谷地区许多城镇发动了示威行动。在首都斯利那加，一栋政府建筑被烧，警察宿舍被洗劫。过去三个月，已有70人在克什米尔地区的抗议中遇难。

津巴布韦国家航空公司解雇了超过24小时最后通牒未返回工作的飞行员。津巴布韦航空飞行员和机组人员自周三以来一直举行罢工，要求自二月份以来一直没有支付的数千美元补助。该航空公司表示目前他们无力支付。Brian Hungwe报道。

津巴布韦航空主席Jonathan Kadzura表示，他们不会满足飞行员的要求，这些飞行员应该考虑自己被解雇的后果。津巴布韦航空董事会下周二将再次举行会议，商讨今后的对策。Kadzura说，由于罢工导致该航空公司损失了接近50万美元，其他区域航空和飞行员将帮助缓解形势。此外，津巴布韦航空航班取消之后，接近1,000名滞留乘客已经被安排入住酒店。
