BBC News with Zoe Diamond

The authorities in Libya say that fighting between rivalmilitiashas killed 14 people and wounded at least eight others. Reporting from Tripoli, here's Jon Donnison.

The fighting in the northwestern corner of Libya has been going on for three days. It's not clear how it started, but it's believed to be between militia made up of ethnic Berber from Zuwara and Arab fighters from several neighbouring towns. There have been reports of shelling and heavy gunfire. Libya's interior minister announced it was sending 200 security officers to try andrestorecalm. But this vast country has no real central authority, no army to dispatch. Since the revolution which toppled the 42-year-long rule of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has been policed by dozens of separate heavily armed militia often with long-standing rivalries.

A UN agency has urged the Lebanese government to hold a full investigation into the recent death of an Ethiopian maid who'd been filmed being beaten and dragged into a car in Beirut. The UN specialrapporteuron slavery, Gulnara Shahinian, described the images of the treatment of the maid, Alem Dechasa, as cruel, saying theyreminded her ofthe many migrant workers she met in Lebanon on a visit last year. The video of Ms Dechasa was shown on Lebanese TV, causing widespreadoutrage.

The American ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, says Syria's actions since the beginning of the month do not encourage hope that the government will comply with a ceasefire plan. She warned the Syrian government not to intensify the violence in the days before 10 April when a ceasefire proposed by Kofi Annan is due to begin. Syria says it's agreed to the deadline. Barbara Plett reports from the United Nations.

Susan Rice said if the regime was seen to violate Kofi Annan's plan, the divisions on the council might narrow given that all members fully support his mission. She dismissed suggestions that Western and Arab support for the opposition wasinterfering withMr Annan's efforts, saying it was the weaker party and needed help given the regime's use of excessive force.

Police in California say the gunman accused of killing seven people at a school in Oakland has said that he was seeking revenge for beingteasedanddisrespected. The Oakland police chief said One Goh, a former student at the college, was targeting one particular female administrator. Peter Bowes reports.

According to the police chief in Oakland, Howard Jordan, the man was having some behavioural problems and was asked to leave several months ago. Mr Jordan described the suspect as a chaotic, calculated and determined gentleman whose intention was to kill people. The police chief said he believed Mr Goh was upset that when he attended the school other students mistreated and disrespected him. They are said to have made fun of his ability to speak English. He's currently being held withoutbailon suspicion of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and carjacking.

World News from the BBC

The head of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde, has called on the world's developed nations to increase the agency's resources for responding to financial crises like those affecting several eurozone nations. She was speaking at the annual general meeting of the Associated Press in Washington. Here's our economics correspondent Andrew Walker.

The financial situation in Europe is lessacutethan it was, but the crisis has not been resolved. The eurozone countries have taken steps of their own to increase the resources available for emergency loans to struggling countries. Now they've done it, Ms Lagarde says the IMF should do so too. She said she's having discussions with the member countries about the idea. Many of them and Ms Lagarde herself thought it essential that Europe make the first move. Now they've done so, the IMF could provide an additional safety net.

The United States National Weather Service has issued a tornado emergency warning for the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. The service said that two tornadoes were affecting the area and warned people to take cover immediately. Commercial flights have beengrounded.

With two months to go to the Euro 2012 football championships in Poland and Ukraine, a senior Polish official has warned that the police don't have a list of known foreign hooligans. Adam Easton has this report from Warsaw.

Police here have been focusing on Polishhooligans, who remain a problem in the domestic game and whose hard core number around 5,000. Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to travel to Poland and co-hosts Ukraine in June, and the threat of violence is a concern. A spokesman for the Polish national police force said it had always planned to share information with other countries. He added special agreements must be signed to allow for the sharing of information and those were only just being prepared.

That was Adam Easton reporting from Warsaw.

利比亚当局称敌对民兵之间的战斗已导致14人死亡，至少8人受伤。Jon Donnison在的黎波里报道。

It's not clear how it started, but it's believed to be between militia made up of ethnic Berber from Zuwara and Arab fighters from several neighbouring towns. There have been reports of shelling and heavy gunfire. Libya's interior minister announced it was sending 200 security officers to try and restore calm.

Since the revolution which toppled the 42-year-long rule of Muammar Gaddafi, Libya has been policed by dozens of separate heavily armed militia often with long-standing rivalries.

利比亚西北部一隅的战斗已持续三天了，并不清楚战斗的起因，但据悉，这是民兵组织之间的战斗，这些组织由来自Zuwara的柏柏尔少数民族与来自邻近几个城镇的阿拉伯武装人员构成。据悉有炮轰和重型枪击发生。利比亚内政部长宣称已派遣200名安全人员，试图平息这场战乱。但这个辽阔的国家并无真正的中央当局，也没有军队可供调遣。自从革命发生后，卡扎菲上校42年统治被推翻以来，利比亚一直由几十个不同的装备精良的民兵组织管理着，这些组织通常都有宿敌。

A UN agency has urged the Lebanese government to hold a full investigation into the recent death of an Ethiopian maid who'd been filmed being beaten and dragged into a car in Beirut. The UN special rapporteur on slavery, Gulnara Shahinian, described the images of the treatment of the maid, Alem Dechasa, as cruel, saying they reminded her of the many migrant workers she met in Lebanon on a visit last year. The video of Ms Dechasa was shown on Lebanese TV, causing widespread outrage.

联合国某机构督促黎巴嫩政府对最近一名埃塞俄比亚女仆死亡一事进行全面调查，这名女仆在贝鲁特被人拍摄到遭受毒打，并被拖入一辆汽车。联合国奴隶制特别记录员Gulnara Shahinia称这位名为Alem Dechasa的女仆的遭遇很残忍，称这让她想起去年访问黎巴嫩期间，见到了很多移民工人。黎巴嫩电视台播放了Alem Dechasa的视频，并引起了公愤。

美国驻联合国大使Susan Rice表示，叙利亚自本月初以来的行为，让人无法产生这样的希望，即政府会遵从停火方案。她警告叙利亚政府不要在4月10日之前加重暴力行径，4月10日正是科菲·安南提出了停火方案的开始时间。叙利亚称同意这个最后期限。Barbara Plett在联合国报道。

Susan Rice said if the regime was seen to violate Kofi Annan's plan, the divisions on the council might narrow given that all members fully support his mission. She dismissed suggestions that Western and Arab support for the opposition was interfering with Mr Annan's efforts, saying it was the weaker party and needed help given the regime's use of excessive force.

Susan Rice表示，如果叙利亚当局违反科菲·安南的方案，考虑到安理会所有成员国都支持安南的使团，那么安理会内部的分歧就会进一步减少。有人称西方国家和阿拉伯支持反对派是在搅安南的局，她对比表示否定，称反对派处于弱势，考虑到当局滥用武力，需要对其提供帮助。

The Oakland police chief said One Goh, a former student at the college, was targeting one particular female administrator. Peter Bowes reports.

加州警方称，被指控在奥克兰一所学校杀死数人的持枪男子称行凶是在为被调戏和侮辱而报复。奥克兰警长称One Goh的袭击目标是一名女性管理人员。One Goh曾在这所学校就读过。Peter Bowe报道。

According to the police chief in Oakland, Howard Jordan, the man was having some behavioural problems and was asked to leave several months ago. Mr Jordan described the suspect as a chaotic, calculated and determined gentleman whose intention was to kill people. The police chief said he believed Mr Goh was upset that when he attended the school other students mistreated and disrespected him. They are said to have made fun of his ability to speak English. He's currently being held without bail on suspicion of murder, attempted murder, kidnapping and carjacking.

奥克兰警长Howard Jordan称这名男子有些行为问题，数月前被要求离开学校。Jordan称嫌犯是做事有谋划、坚决的男子，其目的就是杀人。警长称，他认为，由于Goh在校期间遭到其他同学的虐待和侮辱，他感到不安。据说这些同学取笑他讲不好英语。Goh目前因谋杀嫌疑罪、谋杀未遂、绑架和劫车罪被拘留，而且不得保释。

国际货币基金组织主席Christine Lagarde呼吁全世界发达国家增加该机构的资源，以应对诸如影响几个欧元区国家的财政危机。她在华盛顿美联社年度大会上发表讲话。BBC经济记者Andrew Walker报道。

The financial situation in Europe is less acute than it was, but the crisis has not been resolved.

Now they've done so, the IMF could provide an additional safety net.

欧洲的财政问题比之前更加严重了，但这场危机还没得到解决。欧元区国家各自采取措施，为受困国家增加应急贷款。现在它们已做到了，Lagarde称IMF也应该这么做。她说已与成员国讨论了这个设想，许多成员国和Lagarde本人都认为，关键是欧洲要走出第一步。如今它们也这么做了，IMF可以提供额外的安全网。

Police here have been focusing on Polish hooligans, who remain a problem in the domestic game and whose hard core number around 5,000. Hundreds of thousands of fans are expected to travel to Poland and co-hosts Ukraine in June, and the threat of violence is a concern.

He added special agreements must be signed to allow for the sharing of information and those were only just being prepared.
