The United Nations Security Council has voted todeployup to a further 300 unarmed military observers in Syria. They'll spend three months monitoring a ceasefire and helping to implement a peace plan agreed by the Syrian government. Speaking after the vote, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, made it clear that Washington's patience wasrunning out.

"If there is not a sustainedcessationof violence, full freedom of movement for UN personnel and rapid, meaningful progress on other aspects - all other aspects - of the six-point plan, then we must all conclude that this mission has run its course. We will not wait 90 days to pursue measures against the Syrian government if it continues to violate its commitments or obstruct the monitors' work."

The Security Council has strongly condemned the coup earlier this month in Guinea-Bissau and warned of possible sanctions. It demanded therestorationof the civilian government and the immediate release of the Prime Minister and leading presidential election candidate Carlos Gomes Junior.

There have been further demonstrations in Bahrain with thousands of people taking part in protests ahead of Sunday's Formula 1 Grand Prix. Caroline Hawley reports.

As clashes broke out again on the eve of the race, protesterstook refugein a coffee shop in the capital, only to find tear gas fired inside. Elsewhere on the island, thousands of people took part in a big protest march. Tensions already running high have beenexacerbatedby the death of a 37-year-old man, whose body was found on the roof of a farmhouse after clashes on Friday night. The exact circumstances aren't clear, but the opposition says he was a protest leader killed by security forces, who were beating demonstrators and firingbuckshot. The authorities have announced an investigation.

An American company, Titan Salvage, has been awarded the contract to salvage the Italian cruise liner Costa Concordia, which sank off the coast of Tuscany in January with the loss of 32 lives. Nine people have been investigated in connection with the disaster, including the captain Francesco Schettino, who's under house arrest. David Willey reports from Rome.

It's expected to take about a year to raise the 114,000-tonne cruise liner, which is lying on its side in shallow water just outside the tiny tourist ford. The vessel will be re-floated by placing airbags under the hull after a hugegashon the port side has been repaired. It's not yet clear whether the Costa Concordia will be repaired or will be scrapped after it's been towed away to an Italian port. Fears that the shipwreck might cause an environmental disaster because of leaked fuel have proved unfounded.

A number of blasts have been heard in South Sudan, where a senior military official told the BBC an air attack had targeted the oil-processing facility of the Unity oil field.

Vietnam says it will ask for international help to find out what's causing a skin infection that's already killed 19 people in the central province of Quang Ngai. More than 170 have been made ill. The disease is baffling health workers, as Viv Marsh of our Asia-Pacific desk reports.

The disease first emerged last year thensubsided, but it's broken out again in an impoverished, mountainous part of Quang Ngai province. Frightened residents of Reu village have laid branches across the path to the houses of infected people to try to isolate the outbreak. It begins with a rash on the hands and feet. If it isn't treated early, it can result in liver problems and multiple organ failure. Dozens of people are being treated at aleprosyhospital in the neighbouring province of Binh Dinh. Vietnam's health ministry has carried out tests but says it can't yetpinpointthe cause.

Charles Colson, adviser to the American President Richard Nixon, has died aged 80. Mr Colson was jailed for his role in the Watergate scandal that led to President Nixon's resignation, but went on to become an influential evangelical Christian writer and broadcaster. He said prison life had humbled him, turning him from someone who looked down at life from the top into someone who saw life from the underside.

An armed man has failed in his attempt to steal a small plane from an airport in Los Angeles because he didn't realise that it had been chained to the ground. Employees at the LA county airport said the man had pulled out a gun and grabbed the keys, but the plane was locked to thetarmacand when police came, they found the would-be thief revving the engine, going nowhere.

Speaking after the vote, the US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, made it clear that Washington's patience was running out.

联合国安理会投票同意向叙利亚再派出300名非武装观察员，他们将用三个月的时间来监督停火情况，并帮助实施叙利亚政府同意的一项和平方案。美国驻联合国大使Susan Rice在投票后发表讲话，明确表示美国已经失去了耐心。

"If there is not a sustained cessation of violence, full freedom of movement for UN personnel and rapid, meaningful progress on other aspects - all other aspects - of the six-point plan, then we must all conclude that this mission has run its course. We will not wait 90 days to pursue measures against the Syrian government if it continues to violate its commitments or obstruct the monitors' work."

“如果不能按六点方案所要求的那样，实现持续性停止暴力，确保联合国人员有完全的行动自由，并在其他方面取得快速、有意义的进步，那么，我们就得出结论，即使团已经失败。如果叙利亚政府继续违背承诺，或妨碍观察员的工作，我们不会等待90天再采取对叙利亚政府的措施。”

比赛前夕发生了冲突事件，抗议者在首都一家咖啡馆避难，结果遭到催泪瓦斯的袭击。在该岛的其他地方，数千民众参加了一场更大规模的游行。周五夜晚冲突过后，在一家农房屋顶上发现了一具37岁男子的尸体，这使本来就紧张的局势更加恶化。具体情况尚不清楚，但反对派称这名男子是一名抗议领袖，是被安全部队杀害的，安全部队殴打游行者并释放大号铅弹。当局宣布调查此事。

要把这艘重达114000吨的游轮拖到岸上，大概需要一年时间，这艘船现在停在一个小旅游浅滩区外面的浅水边。要把这艘船浮起来，需要先修好左舷上的巨大裂缝，然后在船体下放置气囊。尚不清楚“协和号”被拖到意大利海港后，会得到修复还是报废。由于尚未找到漏掉的燃油，人们担心船体残骸会造成环境灾难。

这场疾病最早起于去年，后来有所缓和，但在广义省贫困山区再次爆发。Reu村恐慌的村民将树枝放在通往受感染着房屋的路上，以隔离病疫。患上这种疾病，先是在手脚部患上皮疹。如果不能及早治疗，就会引发肝部问题和各种器官疾病。几十人正在邻省Binh Dinh一家麻风病医院接受治疗。越南卫生部正在调查，但称尚未找到病因。
