In wake of the attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in Lahore, top Indian government officials are calling for Pakistan to take immediate steps to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure in that country. India's Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee says last November's attack on Mumbai and the attempt to kill visiting athletes in Lahore reiterates how serious the danger is from terrorism in Pakistan.
在发生在拉哈尔的针对斯里兰卡板球对的袭击后，印度高级政府官员呼吁巴基斯坦立即采取行动来拆除恐怖主义在该国家的基础架构。印度外长Pranab说去年十二月对孟拜的袭击和试图杀死访问的运动员的事件重复的表明在巴基斯坦的恐怖主义危险有多严重。

The Sri Lankan team had replaced India for a tour of Pakistan after India withdrew in wake of last November's assault on Mumbai. India contends all of the terrorists in the Mumbai attack came from Pakistan. Political analysts and sport enthusiasts say the repercussions from the attack in Lahore may be felt for years to come. An immediate result is that no foreign team is likely to visit Pakistan again soon. In the longer term a debate is certain to be heard about whether Pakistan should host, as scheduled two years from now, the Cricket World Cup. Steve Herman, VOA News, New Delhi.
在印度因孟拜袭击而撤退后，斯里兰卡对代替印度访问了巴基斯坦。印度主张所有的孟拜袭击者都来自巴基斯坦。政治分析家和体育爱好者说发生在拉哈尔的袭击的影响需要得好多年才能恢复。一个立即的结果就是没有外国团队在近期愿意访问巴基斯坦。长期来看，一个关于巴基斯坦是否应该举办两年后的板球世界杯的辩论肯定会被人听到。

Li Zhaoxing is the spokesman for China's parliament, the National People's Congress, not the spokesman for the Ministry of Defense. But, in what has become a tradition in recent years, the NPC spokesman announced China's proposed military budget. Li says China's military spending in 2009 will increase nearly 15 percent, to $70 billion. The spokesman describes the increase as "modest" and said the double-digit growth will not pose a threat to any other country. He says much of the extra money will go to salaries for China's more than two-million troops and be spent on raising capabilities in what he described as "non-warfare military operations." Li also said the additional spending is needed to maintain China's sovereignty and territorial integrity. Stephanie Ho, VOA News, Beijing.

在排成一排第二天，人群聚集在苏丹首都达卡，口喊标语，挥舞着标记批评国际法庭及其法官，以示对其总统Omar的支持。

Dancing and waving his famous cane in front of the crowd, Omar al-Bashir railed against the court and its supporters accusing them of trying to exploit Sudan and its resources. "We did not kneel to colonialism", he said. He said the government would combat any attempts to destabilize the country. Sudanese officials have said they will lead diplomatic effort to suspend the ICC warrant. The African Union which has opposed the warrant was meeting in Addis Ababa Thursday and China's government called for the warrant to be withdrawn.
在人群中挥舞着他那有名的藤条，Omar责骂法庭和其支持者，指责他们试图剥削苏丹和苏丹的资源。“我们不需要向殖民主义下跪”，他说。他说政府会和任何扰动国家的试图做斗争。苏丹政府说他们会采用外交手段吊销ICC的逮捕证。反对逮捕证的非盟周四在Addis开会，中国政府也呼吁撤销逮捕证。

Thursday's report from the Labor Department shows just over five million US workers were collecting jobless benefits for more than one week, a slight decline from the previous week’s record high. Another government report says US workers were less productive as the economy shrank faster than companies were able to cut jobs and hours.

UN agencies have warned that Sudan's move to expel aid agencies could endanger more than a million people and the action may constitute a war crime. Thirteen non-governmental agencies had their licenses revoked this week after the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for alleged war crimes in Darfur.

In an interview published in The New York Times newspaper Sunday, President Obama says reconciliation could emerge as an important initiative as the U.S. reviews its strategy in Afghanistan. Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday that his government has long supported dialogue with moderate Taliban members. Mr. Obama said Afghanistan is a less governed region with a history of fierce independence among tribes, making outreach much more of a challenge. The U.S. President recently approved the deployment of an additional 17,000 U.S. troops to Afghanistan to battle the country's growing insurgency.
在星期天美国纽约时报发表的访问中，总统奥巴吗说随着美国开始重新审定其在阿富汗的策略的重要开始，调和的现象可能会出现。阿富汗总统Harnid周日说他的政府和中间派塔利班成员有着长期支持的对话。奥巴吗说阿富汗是一个有着部落疯狂独立历史的最缺少管理的地区，这使得情况更加具有挑战。美国总统最近通过了向阿富汗再增加17000美国士兵的部署以为该国家的混乱而战。

The United Nations and International aid agencies say women are among the worst victims of war. Tens of thousands suffer from sexual violence, rape, and lack of access to life-saving health care. On the occasion of International Women's Day, the International Committee of the Red Cross is underlining the plight of women in war.

联合国和国际救援组织说妇女是战争最严重的受害者。成千上万的妇女遭受性暴力，强奸和缺少生命救急的医疗护理。在全世界妇女节日上，国际红十字会组织强调了战争中女性的困境
Every year, more than half a million women die as a result of pregnancy or childbirth complications. This includes about 70,000 girls and young women aged 15 to 19. The International Committee of the Red Cross reports the highest rates of maternal deaths occur in 10 countries that either are at war today or have recently emerged from war. The Red Cross Advisor on Women and War, Nadine Puechguirbal, says this is not surprising. "And again, remember that women's mobility can also be restricted during a conflict because of the threat of violence or the result of cultural restrictions."
每年有250万妇女由于怀孕或者难产而死亡。这个包括年龄在15-19之间的70000多女孩和年轻妇女。国际红十字会组织报告说女性死亡率最高的10个国家要不么正在战争中要么就是最近刚拜托战争。国际红十字会女性与战争顾问Nadine说，这个不是很令人惊讶。”再次，请记住妇女的移动性在战争中会由于暴力威胁和文化约束而遭到限制”
The Red Cross says the health needs of women often are neglected and ignored in areas ravaged by conflict. It says in some war-torn areas, women are at high risk of sexual violence, including rape. But the UN notes for every rape that is reported, 10 to 20 go unreported. Lisa Schlein for VOA News, Geneva.
红十字会说在遭冲突蹂躏的地区女性的卫生需求往往会忽略或忽视。它说在有些战争践踏的地区，妇女处在一个性暴力，包括强奸的危险中。但联合国说，在每个被报道的一个强奸中，还有10-20个是没有被报道的。

Sudanese authorities have released opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi, nearly two months after he was detained following a call for President Omar al-Bashir to surrender to the International Criminal Court. Turabi's family says he was freed from a prison in Port Sudan and flown to his house in Khartoum. Turabi, the head of the Popular Congress Party, was the first Sudanese opposition leader to publicly support ICC action against Mr. Bashir.

Several-hundred South Koreans remain stranded in North Korea after the North's decision to cut a military hotline and seal its border to the South. As the United States and South Korea began annual joint military drills, North Korea is warning of war if there is an attempt to shoot down a rocket that the North is believed to be preparing for launch. VOA's Kurt Achin has a report from Seoul.

North Korea cut its final military hotline with South Korea, ending the usual communication system for arranging limited crossings of the tense inter-Korean border. Several-hundred South Koreans who manage a joint industrial park in North Korea are stranded there, for now. South Korean Unification Ministry Spokesman Kim Ho-nyoun says the government is taking measures to ensure their safety, which he says is a top priority.

The soldiers were criticizing her handling of the mutiny by border guards who killed scores of their commanders. The recording was made on March 1 during an emotional meeting at the Dhaka cantonment. Hundreds of officers were present, distraught after paramilitary soldiers brutally killed more than 50 members of the army, including many of the leaders of the Bangladesh Rifles border force. According to the posting on the YouTube web site, the tape was uploaded by Maihul Islam Nasim, a reporter for the Bangla TV community channel in London. Bangladeshi media say access to YouTube, one of the world's top Internet sites for sharing video clips, has been blocked in the interest of national security. Steve Herman, VOA News, New Delhi.
