The Prime Minister of Tunisia, Mohamed Ghannouchi, has named the ministers in the interim 1 government intended to fill the vacuum left by the overthrow 2 of President Ben Ali. Six ministers stay on in their posts, despite street protests in the capital against the retention 3 of members of the former regime. Three opposition 4 politicians are given cabinet seats. The new government was swiftly rejected by a spokesman for the Tunisian Labour party, Hammal Hammam, who told the BBC's Arabic service it was too similar to the old one.
突尼斯总理穆罕默德·加努希(Mohamed Ghannouchi)提名临时政府部长，以填补被推翻的总统本·阿里留下的空缺。六名部长继续担任原来的职位，尽管首都街头民众抗议继续保留前政府的成员。三名反对派政客获得了内阁职位。新的政府立即受到突尼斯工党发言人Hammal Hammam的反对。他告诉BBC阿拉伯服务，新的政府与原来的政府大同小异。
"The government was enlarged to include some opposition elements, those which are officially recognised and some independent personalities 5. This is no more than a facelift for the previous regime. The best response are the kind of demonstrations 6 that took place today across Tunisia, the ones that said no to this government even before it was announced."
“政府得到了扩大，容纳了一些反对派因素，包括官方认可的和独立派人士。这不过是对上届政府稍微做出了改变。最好的反应就是今天突尼斯全国各地发生了示威活动，他们甚至在新的政府宣布决定之前就已经表示了抗议。”
The Tunisian Interior Minister Ahmed Friaa, who retained his post, said 78 people had been killed there since the start of the unrest which has so far cost the country more than $2bn.
福里亚阿(Ahmed Friaa)将留任突尼斯内政部长。他表示，自动乱开始以来已有78人死亡。目前为止，这次动乱已经造成突尼斯超过20亿美元的损失。
A prosecutor 7 investigating the assassination 8 of the former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri has submitted a draft indictment 9 against suspects in the killing 10. It follows an investigation 11 by the United Nations tribunal on Lebanon set up to try to identify who was responsible for Mr Hariri's death in 2005. The indictments 12 will go before a pretrial judge who will decide how to proceed. From Beirut, here's Jeremy Bowen.
对黎巴嫩前总理拉菲克·哈里里(Rafik Hariri)被暗杀事件进行调查的一名检控官递交了对这次谋杀事件嫌疑人的控诉草案。此前，联合国成立了特别法庭，在黎巴嫩调查2005年拉菲克·哈里里(Rafik Hariri)总理遇刺的责任人。该控诉将递交给审判前法官，他将决定接下来何去何从。贝鲁特，Jeremy Bowen报道。
This is the first indictment the tribunal has issued. Leaks suggest that the person or people whose names are on the indictment they haven't been revealed are members of Hezbollah, the Shia Muslim group that is the most powerful military force in Lebanon as well as a political and social movement. Hezbollah left the national unity 13 government last week, causing its collapse 14. It wants Saad Hariri, now reduced to interim prime minister and also Rafik Hariri's son and political heir, to cut Lebanon's links with the tribunal. So far, he's refused to do that, causing another surge of talk about disorder 15 and even civil war.
这是该法庭发布的首份起诉状。有关消息透露称，他们没有披露的起诉状上的人名都是真主党成员。真主党是什叶派穆斯林组织，是黎巴嫩最有势力的军事组织，也是政治和社会运动。真主党于上周退出了全国联合政府，导致政府的崩溃。真主党希望现在担任临时总理的萨阿德·哈里里(Saad Hariri)，拉菲克·哈里里的儿子和政治继承人切断黎巴嫩与联合国法庭的关系。目前为止，萨阿德·哈里里拒绝了该要求，再次引发关于混乱甚至内战的讨论。
International human rights groups have called for the prosecution 16 of the former Haitian leader Jean-Claude Duvalier, who returned to his homeland on Sunday after 25 years in exile. Mr Duvalier, also known as "Baby Doc", said he'd come back to help the people of Haiti following last year's devastating 17 earthquake. James Read reports.
前海地领袖让-克洛德·杜瓦利埃(Jean-Claude Duvalier)经过25年的流亡之后于周日回到祖国，国际人权组织要求对他进行起诉。绰号“娃娃医生”的杜瓦利埃说，去年灾难性的地震过后，他回到海地帮助人们应对灾难。James Read报道。
"Baby Doc" Duvalier's surprise return to Haiti has prompted an immediate 18 and strong reaction. Human Rights Watch said he should face justice for the alleged 19 killing and torture of thousands of people during his 15-year rule. Amnesty International said the Haitian authorities had an obligation to prosecute 20 him for crimes against humanity. There's been no public response from Haiti's government which is grappling with a crisis over disputed presidential elections. Under Haiti's constitution, no citizen can be banned from the country.
“娃娃医生”杜瓦利埃的意外回国立即引发人们的强烈反应。人权观察表示，他应该因在15年的统治期间谋杀和折磨数千人而受到法律的制裁。国际特赦组织表示，海地当局有义务以践踏人权罪对他提起控诉。海地政府由于正深陷有争议的总统选举引发的危机而没有做出公开回应。按照海地宪法，任何一个公民都不应该被驱逐出这个国家。

The trial has begun in Cuba of a number of people accused of being responsible for the deaths of 26 patients in a psychiatric hospital in Havana a year ago. The accused include the hospital director and several doctors. The deaths from hypothermia during a cold snap exposed failings in Cuba's free public health system, which the communist government hails as one of the main achievements of its rule.

A member of the British House of Lords has gone on trial accused of submitting false expense claims for more than $17,000. Lord Taylor of Warwick resigned from the Conservative Party after he was charged last year with false accounting 21, which he denies. The prosecution alleged he'd made claims on the basis of falsified travel expenses.

Italian prosecutors 22 are accusing the Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi of providing a series of apartments for use by young women in exchange for sex. Prosecutors are seeking authorisation to search properties linked to Mr Berlusconi.

They both deny having had a sexual relationship.
Scientists in the United States have warned that new varieties of grape need to be developed to secure the future of wine-making. Nearly all types of grape in use today belong to one species, meaning that they are vulnerable to the same diseases. Richard Black has the details.
美国科学家警告称，为了确保未来的葡萄酒制造，必须研发新的葡萄品种。今天用来酿酒的葡萄几乎全部属于一个种类，这意味着非常容易感染同样的疾病。Richard Black报道详细内容。
Researchers from Cornell University in the US have analysed the genomes of more than 1,000 individual vine plants. They've identified bits of DNA 25 that are linked to various traits, including acidity 26, sugar content and disease resistance. Writing in Proceedings 27 of the National Academy of Sciences, they say that using this information should make it far easier to create new grape varieties that are resistant 28 to disease; if we are lucky, they might even result in better tasting wines.
来自美国康奈尔大学的研究人员对1,000多个单一葡萄植株的基因组进行了研究。他们鉴别出了与不同的特征有关的染色体，例如酸度，糖分和抗病性。他们在在美国国家科学院院刊上表示，利用这些信息可以使得研制抗病性强的新的葡萄品种更加容易。如果幸运的话，我们还可以研制出更加美味的葡萄酒。
