The American Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has said the United States has a solemn duty to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Addressing an audience in Jerusalem, he said the US recognized Irael's right to defend itself and that the two countries should employ any and all measures to prevent Iran from achieving its aims.
"When Iran's leaders deny the Holocaust, or speak of wiping this nation off the map, only the naive – or worse – will dismiss it as an excess of rhetoric . Make no mistake: the ayatollahs in Tehran are testing our moral defenses. They want to know who will object, and who will look the other way. My message to the people of Israel and the leaders of Iran is one and the same: we will not look away.”
Government forces in Syria have again been using heavy weapons to pound opposition strongholds in Aleppo. Troops are trying to push into rebel-held neighborhoods and there has been fierce fighting. Ian Pannell reports from Aleppo.
We are getting reports again, but cannot verify them. A very heavy fighting near the old fort, this is pretty much in the central part of Aleppo. State media are certainly saying that there has been a quoted major breakthrough in the area, not sure what they think that is and lots of rumors that they are nothing stronger in there that perhaps the military do not launch an offense in the countryside as well because of cost. Many of the fighters came from the countryside and may be attacking and take them out.
There's increasing speculation that the European Central Bank may intervene to ease the financial plight of Spain. It follows several statements from the German Chancellor Angela Merkel. From Berlin, Steve Evans.
When Mario Draghi said last week that the ECB would do whatever it takes to preserve the euro, stock market jumped because they read the words as a signal that the bank would start buying Spanish government bonds. In effect, it would take on some Spanish debts. Today, Chancellor Merkel echoed the words in a joint statement with the Italian prime minister. On Friday, she said the same in a joint statement with President Hollande of France. It's led to speculation that she signaled her approval of the buying of Spanish bonds by the ECB. The difficulty is that if turns out that the signals have been misread, stock markets might react badly.
In the Olympic swimming pool in London, France have won the final of the men's 4x100-meter freestyle relay.

Polls have closed in Romania where voters have been deciding whether to impeach their center-right President Traian Basescu. Three hours before voting ended, turnout was well short of the 50% needed to make the vote valid. The center-left government accuses Mr Basescu of undermining democracy as Nick Thorpe reports.
The Romanian public were actually asked two questions in this referendum. One was on the ballot paper: "Do you want to remove Traian Basescu from office?"; the other question was not written, but was on everyone's minds: do you care enough about it to actually go out and vote? Temperatures of 39°C on Romania's Black Sea coast are not much less in the capital, plus the growing distrust of the population in the whole political elite appeared to be keeping numbers down. But it's beginning to look as though President Traian Basescu has survived yet another attempt to unseat him.
Six people have been arrested in Kenya in connection with the murder of the most senior Venezuelan diplomat in the country. On Friday, Venezuela's acting ambassador to Kenya, Olga Fonseca, was found strangled to death in her official residence in Nairobi. Kenyan officials said staff of the residence had complained about being fired by Ms Fonseca after they refused to retract allegations about her predecessor who left Nairobi two months ago.
An Italian embassy security official has been kidnapped in Yemen. The man was seized in a street and forced into a car close to the Italian embassy in the Capital Sanaa. He was taken to an unknown destination. There are no reports of any demands by his abductors.
The Chilean miners who were trapped underground for 69 days in 2010 are launching a range of products under the name "The 33 of the miracle". They will be selling T-shirts, mugs and commemorative medals. One of the miners, Jose Ojeda, said that the items would be on sale at airports.

美國共和黨總統(tǒng)候選人米特·羅姆尼說，美國負有阻止伊朗研制核武器的嚴肅責任。羅姆尼在耶路撒冷對聽眾發(fā)表講話，說美國認可以色列捍衛(wèi)自我的權利，兩國應該采取一切措施來阻止伊朗實現(xiàn)這個目的。

“當伊朗的領導人否認大屠殺，或講到要將這個國家從地圖上消滅掉，只有幼稚的人或無知的人才將之視為花言巧語。別再犯錯了，德黑蘭的阿亞圖拉在考驗我們的道德防線。他們想知道誰會反對，誰會支持。我要向以色列人們和伊朗領導人表達的是一樣的：我們不會轉移視線的。”

敘利亞政府軍使用重型武器炮轟阿勒頗的反對派陣地。軍隊試圖沖進叛軍占領的地區(qū)，戰(zhàn)斗非常激烈。伊恩·潘內爾在阿勒頗報道。
We are getting reports again, but cannot verify them. A very heavy fighting near the old fort, this is pretty much in the central part of Aleppo. State media are certainly saying that there has been a quoted major breakthrough in the area, not sure what they think that is and lots of rumors that they are nothing stronger in there that perhaps the military do not launch an offense in the countryside as well because of cost. Many of the fighters came from the countryside and may be attacking and take them out.
我們得到新的報道，但無法證實其真實性。一處舊堡壘附近的戰(zhàn)斗非常激烈，大約就在阿勒頗中心。國家媒體當 然會說，已在該地區(qū)取得了所謂的重大突破，不確定他們是怎么想的。大量傳聞稱，政府軍沒有那么強大，或許由于成本問題，軍隊還不曾發(fā)起攻勢。許多武裝人員 都來自鄉(xiāng)下，或許在發(fā)動襲擊將他們趕走。

越來越多的猜測稱，歐洲央行可能干預進來，緩解西班牙的財政困境。此前，德國總理安吉拉·默克爾已發(fā)表了數(shù)份聲明。史蒂夫·埃文斯在柏林報道。

當馬里奧·德拉吉上周稱歐洲央行將盡一切努力來維護歐元時，股市就下跌了，因為股民讀懂了這樣的信號，即 央行會購買西班牙政府債券。事實上，歐洲央行會購買一些西班牙債券。今天，總理默克爾在與意大利總理的聲明中回應了這點。周五她在與法國總統(tǒng)奧朗德的聲明 中也表達了同樣的觀點。這樣使得人們猜測她是在表示贊成歐洲央行購買西班牙債券。難點在于，如果事實證明這些信號是誤導的，那么股市的反應更糟糕。

在倫敦奧運會游泳池中，法國贏得男子4*100米自由泳接力決賽。他們打敗著名的美國隊，其中包括14次奪得奧運金牌的邁克爾·菲爾普斯和新星瑞安·洛赫特。另一件令人難過的事是，奪冠熱門隊西班牙在輸給洪都拉斯后被淘汰出男子足球。

羅馬尼亞選民投票決定是否彈劾中右派總統(tǒng)特拉揚·伯塞斯庫。投票結束前的三個小時，投票率低于50%，達不到有效的比例。中左派政府譴責伯塞斯庫危害了民主。尼克·索普報道。
The Romanian public were actually asked two questions in this referendum. One was on the ballot paper: "Do you want to remove Traian Basescu from office?"; the other question was not written, but was on everyone's minds: do you care enough about it to actually go out and vote?

But it's beginning to look as though President Traian Basescu has survived yet another attempt to unseat him.
羅馬尼亞民眾事實上在這次公投中問了兩個問題，一個在選票上寫著：“你想讓特拉揚·伯塞斯庫下臺嗎?”另 一個問題沒有寫在書面，但卻在每個人的心中：你非常關心這件事并出來投票嗎?羅馬尼亞黑海海岸的溫度達到39°，首都也差不多，越來越多的民眾對整個政黨 精英的不信任也使得參加投票的人數(shù)量不多。但這樣看來，總統(tǒng)特拉揚·伯塞斯庫又在另一場試圖彈劾他的行動中幸存了下來。

在肯尼亞，6名與在該國謀殺委內瑞拉最高級外交官有關的人員被捕。周五，委內瑞拉駐肯尼亞臨時大使奧爾加·豐塞卡被發(fā)現(xiàn)在內羅畢自己的官邸里被勒死?？夏醽喒俜椒Q官邸里的工作人員曾投訴被豐塞卡解雇，原因是他們拒絕撤銷對其兩個月前離開的前任的投訴。
