挪威举行仪式悼念爆炸枪击事件遇难者
About 100,000 people have gathered in the centre of the Norwegian capital Oslo to remember victims of the attacks which killed 76 people on Friday. Many carried flowers; others hugged each other as they sang hymns. From Oslo, Steve Evans.
Tens of thousands of people, or one estimated a 100,000 people, have been walking quietly through the streets of Oslo, most carrying flowers and occasionally they hold them aloft as there were torches. People are congregating at the edge of the condoned dock zone where the bomb shattered buildings, though the barriers have been moved back soon a day, leaving a small remaining cordoned area as the worst damage in the city centre. Many more people are congregating at the cathedral in a dense quiet mass of people.
Norwegian police are now investigating the possibility of a wider plot after the man accused of carrying out the attacks, Anders Behring Breivik, told a court he was part of a network including two other cells. The Prime Minister of Norway, Jens Stoltenberg, has said he believes Norway will be changed by Friday’s killings, but it will remain an open and democratic society. Speaking to the BBC, Mr Stoltenberg said he’d been due to speak at the island youth camp the day after the shootings and knew personally some of those who were killed or wounded.
“I knew many of them. And I also knew many of the parents, relatives, friends of those who died. People in Norway are in deep grief. They are still shocked. But we also see a Norway which is very unified and where people are standing together to comfort each other and take care of each other.”
IMF称美国需要迅速解决债务危机
The International Monetary Fund has warned the United States that it must resolve its debt crisis quickly or risk a severe shock to the American economy. The IMF said that if American lawmakers fail to agree a debt ceiling by next week, it would also affect global financial markets. From Washington, Mark Mardell has more.
America is this close to the brink because of the ideological chasm between President Obama’s Democrats and the newly reinvigorated Republicans who are in control of the House of Representatives after last year’s mid-term elections. Many of the new Republican members were backed by the economically conservative Tea Party movement, a campaign promising to deal with America’s ballooning debt and what they say is “bloated government spending”. Most expect a last-minute deal will be done, but it won’t be easy when the system means the two parties have to agree when the political reality has this very little common ground.

因不满爱尔兰总理的批评 梵蒂冈召回驻该国大使
The Vatican has taken the rare step of recalling its ambassador to Ireland amid unprecedented tension with the Irish government over the issue of child abuse by Roman Catholic priests. It follows strong criticism of the Church by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny after a report was published accusing the Church of sabotaging an investigation into the rape of children. Our Ireland correspondent Mark Simpson reports.
The historic bond between the Irish government and the Vatican is no more. In fact, where once there was a faction, there’s now a confrontation. The unprecedented attack on the Church last week by the Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny was designed to provoke a response. The Vatican is taking its time before doing so. But by recalling its papal nuncio from Dublin in order to take part in consultations in Rome, it is publicly recognizing the seriousness of the situation.
