利比亞反對(duì)派連奪兩座重鎮(zhèn) 中東媒體稱卡扎菲軍隊(duì)已處守勢
Rebel forces in Libya have made a rapid advance westwards against government troops helped by international air strikes which have destroyed many of Colonel Gaddafi’s tanks and artillery. Explosions have been heard in the capital Tripoli and the government’s stronghold of Sirte. Earlier, rebels captured the oil ports of Ras Lanuf and Brega. Ben Brown reports.
It’s been a remarkable day for the rebels. They’ve now advanced westwards along the coastal highway. Town after town has fallen to them--Brega, Uqayla, Ras Lanuf, Bin Jawad. The rebels are in a state of high excitement. They’ve been firing their guns into the air in exuberant celebration. But the truth is they'd never have made this breakthrough if it hadn’t been for the devastating coalition air strikes outside Ajdabiya on Thursday and Friday. The rebels claimed they could be in Sirte tomorrow, Colonel Gaddafi’s birthplace and his heart lands.
A rebel spokesman in another Libyan city Misrata told the BBC the fighting was continuing for control of the main roads through the city. He said the rebels were being helped by aerial attacks by Western forces.
“This is the first night of major, major activities and major bombings by the international community along Misrata. They have bombed all his resources and barracks along Misrata, so we are getting much needed and much appreciated and great help from the international forces and the international community.”
北約接過美國指揮棒 助利比亞反對(duì)派
NATO has agreed to take control of all international operations in Libya. The organisation’s Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the decision would take immediate effect. From Brussels, here’s Chris Morris.
The secretary general says the alliance’s decided to take on the whole military operation in Libya. “We will implement ‘a(chǎn)ll aspects’ of the United Nations resolution,” Mr Rasmussen said in a recorded statement. NATO has already agreed to enforce the arms embargo and patrol a no-fly zone over Libya. But the mission to protect civilians was more sensitive, because it involved debate about what exactly are legitimate military targets on the ground. The precise details of the rules of engagement have not been revealed, however. Alongside the Nato command structure, there will be a separate high-level committee of representatives from all countries taking part in military action, including Arab states. Chris Morris

默克爾執(zhí)政聯(lián)盟在德國巴登符騰堡州選舉中敗北
The German Chancellor Angela Merkel has suffered a humiliating result in a key regional election in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg. Results so far indicate her Christian Democrat Party will lose power in the state, which is held for six decades. The German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle of the liberal FDP expressed his disappointment.
“It’s a bad day for us liberals. We’ve lost the vote today. The nuclear energy issue seems to have been the deciding theme that concerned everyone. It was a vote on the future of nuclear energy. The frightful events in Japan, the nuclear mishap in Fukushima and the consequences for us in Germany, those were the deciding factors in this local election.”
福島核電站輻射量嚴(yán)重超標(biāo) 工人紛紛撤離
The operators of the Japanese nuclear power plant crippled by the earthquake and tsunami more than two weeks ago have reported the highest levels of radiation so far. Workers fled the reactor at the Fukushima complex when a reading showed water 10 million times more radioactive than normal. A spokesman later said that figure might have been wrong. But he confirmed that any workers near the contaminated water would receive four times their annual maximum radiation dose in just one hour.
