“Lawyers representing the government will argue in the high court that Mr Bashir should be allowed to go back home as freeman because Mr Bashir is in the country at the invitation of the African Union and not the South African government.

The question is who will that person be.”?

发表政府的律师们在高级法庭辩论应该允许巴希尔以自由人身份返回家乡，因为巴希尔是应非洲联盟而不是南非政府之邀而来的。非洲联盟峰会主办国此时面临进退两难的外交境地。因为如果巴希尔在法庭听证会结束之前离开国家，那么一些人将会轻视法庭。问题是谁将是那个人。

沙特阿拉伯自周一起向那些能够在本国交易市场购买股份公司的外国投资者开放金融市场。下面是本国经济记者安德鲁·瓦克发回的报道;

“Saudi Arabia is one of the largest markets to remain until now largely off the limits to international investors. It’s now taking an important, they have not completed, step to open up. The right to buy shares would be limited to investors approved by the regulator and be limited to the amount of incoming investment including a cap of 49% total foreign ownership of any company. It’s not expected that there would be a sudden surge funds going into the market. But Saudi Arabia's oil wealth means it’s a large enough economy to ensure that some investors will find opportunities.”

 “In the Runnymede meadow on the banks of the Thames, the Queen will mark a pivotal moment in history. The moment when it will establish that her ancestors were not above the law, the death of despotism. Here's one story has put it. Magna Carta, Latin for Great Charter, plays limits on taxation 12, outlined basic rights including to a fair trial and president Obama has spoken of it as the inspiration for Americans founding Fathers.” Peter Hunt reporting there. Magnet Carter is also seen as an inspiration for the universal declaration of human rights.
