BBC新闻附字幕:巴基斯坦遭遇严重洪水袭击

BBC News with David Austin

The American ambassador to Pakistan, Cameron Munter, says there's evidence linking one of the main militant groups in Afghanistan, the Haqqani network, to the Pakistani government and that those links have to stop. He said the US believed the Haqqani group was behind a 20-hour gun battle in central Kabul last week. Here's Shahzeb Jillani.

Washington has been pressing Pakistan to target the Haqqani network in its North Waziristan region forsome timenow. The USblames the group forsome of the major attacks targeting Nato-led forces in Afghanistan, and the Pakistani military says it is alreadyoverstretched and would have to think hard before opening up another war front. But increasingly it seems Washington is losing patience, complicating an already difficult relationship with Islamabad. Last Wednesday, the US warned it would have to takeunilateralaction inside Pakistan if the authorities there failed to act against the group.

Opposition forces in Libya have mounted a new assault on Sirte, Colonel Gaddafi's home city. Columns of smoke were seen as fighters tried to force their way throughdenselypopulated areas in the face of fierce resistance. Alastair Leithead reports.

The front lines around Sirte are moving forward. Tanks had to be jump-started today tokeep up withthe pace of the assault on Colonel Gaddafi's birthplace. After a week dug into their positions on the eastern coast road, a heavy barrage of rockets, artillery shells and Nato bombs has again pushed pro-Gaddafi troops back. To the south, the civilians who became soldiers are still firing from their pick-up trucks, and in the west too, loosely surrounding the city and moving forward every day.

A conference ofveteranopposition figures in Syria has ended with a call for the formation of a national coalition to include all parties opposed to the current President Bashar al-Assad. The authorities did not prevent the meeting taking place, but kept a close watch on those who attended. From Damascus, Lina Sinjab reports.

The meeting included around 200 opposition figures representing different parties and had the support of the protesters. Their demands wereread out, but they didn't attend for fear of arrest. The opposition asked for no international intervention, no sectarianism and no violence. Although the meeting was held in support of the street protest, most of those attending were from the old traditional opposition who spent years of their lives in prison. The object of this meeting is to create a coalition uniting all the opposition elements, including the protesters.

European Union finance ministers have ended a two-day meeting in Poland with many issues affecting the eurozone's debt crisis still unresolved. The ministers agreed on tougher budget rules for EU members, but no decisions were taken on giving more money to Greece to prevent itdefaulting on its debts or on how to strengthen the eurozone's rescue fund.

Madagascar's political leaders have signed a deal in the capital Antananarivo, paving the way for elections to be held within a year and to re-establish democracy. The road map also includes allowing the return to the country of the ousted leader Marc Ravalomanana, who was overthrown by the current President Andry Rajoelina with military help two years ago.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gillani has promised help for millions of flood victims, saying they can stay in government-run camps for as long as they need. Mr Gillani has been visiting the southern province of Sindh, where monsoon rains havesubmerged hundreds of thousands of homes for the second yearin a rowand left hundreds of people dead. From Sindh, Aleem Maqbool.

Prime Minister Gillani has been fiercely criticised by opposition figures in Pakistan. Theperceptionis that for the second year running his government has failed hundreds of thousands of flood victims. On a visit to the badly hit towns of Nawabshah and Sanghar, he announced that anyone affected by the floods could live in government relief camps as long as they wanted and that they would be provided food and shelter.But they are hollow words for so many people living on the roads of rural Sindh, who say there are either no camps in their areas or that they have been turned away from places that are full.

Officials in Mexico say they are investigating more than 100 police officers in the northern city of Monterrey suspected of having links with organised crime. The regional government says it wants topurgethe police which it says has been infiltrated.

A wildlife campaigner in Indonesia has accused the country's zoos of doing nothing to stop orangutangs from smoking cigarettes. Hardi Baktiantoro told the BBC's Indonesian service that there was no adequate system to protect the animals from visitors who he said saw smoking orangutangs as entertainment. Several days ago, officials in Malaysia put a chain-smoking orangutang into quarantine to force her to kick the habit.

And that's the BBC News.

美国驻巴基斯坦大使蒙特(Cameron Munter)表示，有证据表明阿富汗好战组织哈卡尼(Haqqani)与巴基斯坦政府有联系，这些联系必须终止。他表示，美国相信，哈卡尼与上周喀布尔中部持续20小时的枪战有关。Shahzeb Jillani报道。

Washington has been pressing Pakistan to target the Haqqani network in its North Waziristan region for some time now. The US blames the group for some of the major attacks targeting Nato-led forces in Afghanistan, and the Pakistani military says it is already overstretched and would have to think hard before opening up another war front. But increasingly it seems Washington is losing patience, complicating an already difficult relationship with Islamabad. Last Wednesday, the US warned it would have to take unilateral action inside Pakistan if the authorities there failed to act against the group.

一段时间以来，华盛顿一直敦促巴基斯坦打击北瓦齐斯坦境内的好战组织哈卡尼(Haqqani)。美国谴责该组织在阿富汗境内对北约领导的部队实施了几次重大袭击。巴基斯坦军队表示，他们已经肩负着很多任务，在开辟新的战线之前必须深思。但是华盛顿似乎逐渐失去耐心，导致与伊斯兰堡之间原本艰难的关系更加复杂。上周三，美国警告称，如果巴基斯坦政府没有对该组织采取行动，他们将采取单方面措施。

苏尔特周围的战线已经向前推进。为了配合对卡扎菲上校出生地的进攻速度，反对派还启动了坦克。在东部沿海道路的据点向前推进了一周的时间之后，大量火箭弹，炮弹和北约炸弹再次将亲卡扎菲的军队击退。在南面，成为士兵的平民仍然从他们的便捷卡车中开枪。在西面，反对派也松散地包围了这座城市，每天都在向前推进。

叙利亚资深反对派人物召开的会议结束，呼吁组建包括所有反对现任政府的党派在内的全国联盟。当局并未阻止该会议的召开，但是一直在密切关注参加会议的人物。大马士革，Lina Sinjab报道。

该会议包含了代表不同党派的大约200名反对派人物，受到抗议者的支持。抗议者大声说出了自己的要求，但是由于担心被捕，他们没有参加会议。反对派要求国际社会不要干预，不要出现宗派主义和暴力行为。尽管这次会议的召开是为了支持街头抗议活动，然而，参加会议的大部分是在遭受了多年牢狱之灾的传统的反对派人物。这次会议的目标是建立包括所有反对派在内的联盟，包括抗议者在内。

吉拉尼受到巴基斯坦反对派人物的严厉批评。他们的观点是，吉拉尼政府连续第二年使数十万人遭受洪灾之苦。走访受灾最严重的讷瓦布沙阿和桑克尔时，吉拉尼宣布难民可以在政府设立的难民营中居住尽可能长的时间，只要他们需要，他们会收到食品和衣物。但是对于滞留在信德省乡村道路上的许多难民来说，这只是空洞的承诺。他们说，该地区没有任何难民营，或者他们被已经人满为患的难民营拒绝。
