After several failed attempts, President Assad's opponents have finally created a single body, the Syrian National Council. Organisers say they'vemapped outevery relevant political group or personality,drawing upa list of 700 people from which they've selected 140 to sit on the council. Around half are expected to come from groups operating inside Syria. The council will set up committees to handle tasks like foreign relations.It will inevitably draw comparisons with the transitional council in Libya, but the challenge confronting Syrian dissidents is much greater.

The US State Department has repeated its warning to all American citizens to leave Syria immediately while it's still possible to travel out of the country. It says the Syrian government's violent suppression of peaceful protests has left the country in a state of uncertainty andvolatility.

The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said there was a growing recognition among the parties that [the] only real answer was negotiations. And in a BBC interview, the US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said aunilateralbid for statehood would set back prospects for real talks.

"There's no shortcut. There's no magic wand. If there were, we would have waved it by now; we'd be there. So this is, as a practical matter, adiversion, and it's worse than a diversion; it actually is going to set back prospects for the two parties to come to the table."

The BBC's UN correspondent says Washington wants to avoid being forced to veto such a bid for fear oftarnishing relations with the Muslim world.

Denmark's first female prime minister, Helle Thorning-Schmidt, has claimed victory in a general election with the centre-left taking power after a decade in opposition. Thomas Buch-Andersen reports.

Helle Thorning-Schmidt declared victory, telling her supporters "Today we've written history." She's set to become Denmark's first woman prime minister after a closely-fought campaign dominated by the economy. The defeated Prime Minister Lokke Rasmussen was seen to have done well to steer Denmark through the financial crisis, but the country's economic rebound is considered to have been sluggish. Mrs Thorning-Schmidt campaigned on a platform of tax rises and increased public spending and a plan to make everyone work 12 minutes more per day to kick-start economic growth.

Gunmen in northern Mexico have shot dead three relatives of a police officer who's being held in connection with a deadly arson attack on a casino last month. Police believe it was an act of revenge by the Zetas drug cartel after the officer named gang members involved in the casino attack.

Researchers in Canada have discovered dinosaur feathers perfectlypreserved in amber, suggesting that many species of dinosaur may have been covered in rich plumage. Researchers say the discovery will help them understand how feathers evolved into the wide variety found on modern birds. Here's Pallab Ghosh.

The popular view of meat-eating dinosaurs is that they were big, fearsome and scaly, but there's been growing fossil evidence that many of them were feathery, and now researchers have obtained actual dinosaur feathers frozen in amber. They are of dinosaurs living 70 to 85 million years ago. The feathers are incredibly well preserved. Scientists can see details of their structure even their colours. Many of the feathers seem to be small, brown and fluffy - probably for warmth rather than flight.

五家主要的中央银行宣布采取新的措施应对金融危机，全球金融市场反应积极。这几家银行将向商业银行增加美元贷款，确保有足够的资金及时偿还债务。我们的经济记者Andrew Walker报道详细内容。

Shares in New York have gained for the fourth consecutive day, and earlier European markets also rose. The euro has made gains as well. A series of developments have given investors some reassurance about Europe. Leading central banks have indicated they'll supply extra dollars to the commercial banks.

纽约股价连续第四天上涨，此前欧洲股市也开始上扬。欧元的汇率也有所上升。一系列进展使投资者对欧洲的信心有了一些保障。主要的中央银行表示，他们将为商业银行增加美元贷款。另外，此前，法国和德国领导人表示，希腊是欧元区不可分割的一部分，这也使投资者感到欣慰。但是如果政府拖欠债务，金融市场仍然可能遭遇严重损失。应对欧洲主权债务和银行业危机让然是令人畏惧的巨大挑战。

经过几次努力失败之后，阿萨德总统的对手最终创建了独立的机构，叙利亚全国委员会。组织者表示，他们已经拟定了每一个相关的政治组织或个人，起草了700人的名单，并从中选择了140人在全国委员会担任职务。其中一半的人来自在叙利亚境内运作的组织。全国委员会将建立理事会来处理外国关系等任务。叙利亚全国委员会不可避免地要被拿来与利比亚过渡委员会作比较，但是叙利亚异见分子面临的挑战要严峻的多。

And in a BBC interview, the US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice said a unilateral bid for statehood would set back prospects for real talks.

华盛顿加强努力，劝阻巴勒斯坦在下周的联合国大会上申请成为联合国正式成员国。美国国务卿希拉里·克林顿表示，各方逐渐开始认同，唯一真正的答案是进行谈判。在BBC采访中，美国驻联合国大使苏珊·赖斯(Susan Rice)表示，单方面申请成为独立的国家将使进行真正的对话的前景遭到挫败。

"There's no shortcut. There's no magic wand. If there were, we would have waved it by now; we'd be there. So this is, as a practical matter, a diversion, and it's worse than a diversion; it actually is going to set back prospects for the two parties to come to the table."

“这个问题没有捷径，没有魔杖。如果有的话，我们现在已经挥舞了。实际上，这是转移前进方向的举动，比转移前进方向更加糟糕，实际上会使双方进行对话的前景遭到挫败。”

The BBC's UN correspondent says Washington wants to avoid being forced to veto such a bid for fear of tarnishing relations with the Muslim world.

BBC联合国记者表示，华盛顿希望避免以防毁坏与穆斯林世界的关系而投否决票。
