Security forces in Tunisia have been fighting a gun battle with suspected members of the presidential guard at the presidential palace, several kilometres north of the capital Tunis. The Tunisian Prime Minister Mohamed Ghannouchi told national television that there'd be zero tolerance 1 for anybody who'd threatened the country's security following the overthrow 2 of President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali last Friday. Mr Ghannouchi has said a new coalition 3 government could be announced on Monday. With more on the day's events, here's Wyre Davies.

突尼斯安全力量在首都突尼斯北部几千米处的总统府与疑似总统卫队发生枪战。突尼斯总理穆罕默德·加努希(Mohamed Ghannouchi)告诉国家电视台，自从上周五推翻总统本·阿里(Zine El Abidine Ben Ali)的统治以来，国家绝对不会容忍威胁到国家安全的任何人。加努希表示，周一将宣布组建新的联合政府。Wyre Davies为您详细报道今天的事件。

It appears that small groups of armed men perhaps loyal to the former president are trying to disrupt this very slow process of change. All of this happening of course while the interim 4 president has been trying to convene 5 other interested political parties to form his government of national unity 6 and hopefully pave the way for national elections, but it's not a smooth process. There have been attacks, not by the army - I think that's a crucial thing - the people perhaps who are, perhaps are to be more sinister 7 as some of the security services that supported the former president.

似乎可能忠于前总统的小股武装分子试图扰乱非常缓慢的变革的进程。这一切发生之时，临时总统正试图召集其他有兴趣的政党组建全国统一的政府，并希望为全国选举铺平道路，但是这个过程并不顺利。最近发生了一些袭击事件，然而最关键的是，并不是军队发动的袭击，而可能是支持前总统的安全力量，这更加凶险。

The leader of the militant 8 Lebanese group Hezbollah says his movement will reject any indictments 9 from a UN tribunal that's investigating the murder in 2005 of the country's former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. In his first public comments since the Lebanese government collapsed 10 last week, Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah accused the tribunal of being highly politicised. From Beirut, here's Owen Bennett Jones.

黎巴嫩好战组织真主党领袖表示，他的运动将会否认联合国法庭的任何控诉。联合国法庭正在对2005年前总理拉菲克·哈里里(Rafik Hariri)的谋杀事件进行调查。自上周黎巴嫩政府崩溃以来发表的首次公开评论中，哈桑·纳斯拉拉赫(Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah)指控该法庭高度政治化。贝鲁特，Owen Bennett Jones报道。

Hassan Nasrallah said the indictments are targeting Hezbollah. In an hour-long TV address, he gave a highly detailed 11 account of the negotiations 12 that had taken place within the Lebanese government concerning the tribunal. In general terms, Hezbollah had asked the government to disassociate itself from the tribunal and to state it would not arrest those it indicted 13. When agreement proved impossible, Hassan Nasrallah said Hezbollah had decided 14 to bring down the government using democratic means and had not taken to the streets. "We should be thanked," he said, "that we resigned in a constitutional way."

哈桑·纳斯拉拉赫表示，法庭的控告完全是针对真主党。在一小时的电视讲话中，他详细描述了黎巴嫩政府内部进行的与法庭有关的谈判。概括地说，真主党要求政府与法庭脱离关系，并承诺不会逮捕被控告的人。协议证明不可能达成之后，哈桑·纳斯拉拉赫表示，真主党已经决定使用民主的方式推翻政府，而不是走向街头抗议。“我们应该被感谢，我们采用了符合宪法规定的方式。”

The President of southern Sudan, Salva Kiir, has urged his people to forgive the mainly Muslim north of Sudan for the killings 15 that took place during the two-decade civil war. It was his first public announcement since voting ended in a week-long referendum on whether southern Sudan should become a separate state. James Copnall reports.

南苏丹总统基尔(Salva Kiir)敦促民众饶恕主要是穆斯林的北苏丹在长达二十年的内战中的杀戮行为。这是自长达一周的南苏丹独立公投结束以来他首次公开发表讲话。James Copnall报道。

Salva Kiir asked for eternal peace for those who died in the war and forgiveness for those who caused their deaths. He was speaking from the pulpit in a Roman Catholic church in the southern capital Juba. The vast majority of the millions of people who died in two north-south civil wars were southerners. Mr Kiir's conciliatory remarks are significant as he's all but certain to become the leader of a new country. Many polling stations and Southern Sudanese in Europe have released results showing more than 95% chose independence.

基尔(Salva Kiir)希望在战争中遇难的人得到永久的和平，希望饶恕那些造成他们死亡的人。他在南苏丹首都朱巴一座罗马天主教堂的讲道坛发表讲话。在内战中死亡的数百万人中绝大多数是南方人。基尔的安抚性讲话非常重要，因为他几乎确定要成为这个新成立的国家的领袖。许多投票站和欧洲的南苏丹人发表的结果显示超过95%的人选择南方独立。
