【BBC】“维基解密”泄密疑犯出庭 罪名成立将面临无期徒刑 (有声)
即将迎来24岁生日的曼宁当天在马里兰州米德堡的一家法院现身，参加决定是否将此案交由军事法庭审理的听证会。如果持续约一周的听证给出肯定回答，曼宁将被转送军事法庭受审。
司法界人士普遍估计，听证会只是美军向曼宁“治罪”的必要程序，不过16日听证甫一开始，曼宁的辩护律师即发起反击，径直要求听证主持人回避此案。
辩护律师称，该主持人是位具有军方背景的预备役中校，并且2002年起一直在美国司法部任职，因此有理由怀疑他在最后起草听证报告时可能偏向于政府，无法做到客观公正。
听闻此言，听证主持人反驳自己在司法部并不处理刑事案件，工作职责也与国家安全无关，后来在休会一个半小时后，他宣布自己不会回避曼宁一案，而且听证会也不会为此延期。

“维基解密”泄密疑犯出庭 罪名成立将面临无期徒刑
The military officer presiding over the case against an American soldier accused of passing secret information to the Wikileaks website has refused a defence request that he stand aside. Lawyers representing the soldier, Bradley Manning, claimed that the officer was biased and had prevented them from calling most of their defence witnesses. Here's Kim Ghattas.
Lieutenant Colonel Paul Almanza looked into the defence team's request that he step down as presiding officer. He consulted with his legal adviser, and then he decided that he could rule impartially. The hearing will now continue. It could take several days before a determination is made about whether the case should go to a full court-martial. Faced with charges of aiding the enemy and leaking classified information, 24-year-old Private Manning could face life in prison, but the government has said it will not seek the death penalty.
刚果（金）最高法裁定现任总统卡比拉赢得大选
The Supreme Court in the Democratic Republic of Congo has confirmed Joseph Kabila as the winner of the disputed presidential election last month. The court rejected an opposition bid to have the vote annulled. Mr Kabila rejected the conclusion of the US-based Carter Center, which monitored the poll, and said the results lacked credibility. Thomas Hubert reports.
It took the Supreme Court less than one hour on Friday night to sign off the election results. The judges confirmed President Joseph Kabila's re-election with 49% of the vote. He beat Etienne Tshisekedi, who polled 32%, and Vital Kamerhe with 8%. Mr Kamerhe challenged the result last Monday after local and international observers highlighted widespread irregularities, but the court found that he had failed to produce any evidence to back up his claims.
欧洲警方在逮捕一百余名传播虐童视频的嫌疑人
Police have arrested more than 100 people in 22 European countries on suspicion of sharing online videos of children being sexually abused and raped. A police official said that though the operation had been successful, it had shown how the Internet was helping offenders swap images globally while protecting their identity. Anna Holligan reports from The Hague.
It's one of the biggest and most serious cases of child pornography that Interpol has ever investigated: 112 arrests in 22 countries across Europe. Some of the videos feature the most graphic contents, including the abuse of babies and toddlers. Interpol say those responsible are using new file-sharing technology to send vast amounts of material all over the world, but they say that these arrests show they are able to catch the perpetrators even when they are operating in cyberspace.

The credit ratings agency Fitch has said it believes a comprehensive solution to the crisis in the eurozone is technically and politically beyond reach.

Fitch said France would retain its AAA rating, but it had revised the country's long-term outlook from "stable" to "negative".

埃及开罗示威冲突造成至少2人死亡
At least two people are thought to have been killed and large numbers injured during clashes in the Egyptian capital Cairo. The trouble broke out when troops attempted to end a three-week-long protest camp outside the parliament building. From Cairo, here's Jon Leyne.
Protesters claimed that two of the demonstrators were beaten up by the army, a violent confrontation built up and the army moved in to clear the protest camp, burning the tents. As protesters massed in a neighbouring street, plain-clothes thugs were clearly visible, throwing rocks on them from the roof of a government building - thugs who must have been under government control. The new civilian government had promised it would not allow attacks on protesters, and this is one of the first times that soldiers have come directly into conflict with the demonstrators as well.

2011非洲足球先生揭晓 加纳新星力压巴萨悍腰
The BBC African Footballer of the Year winner has been announced. He's Andre "Dede" Ayew, who plays on the wing for Ghana and the French side Marseille. Ayew said the award was all the more special for being decided on by the fans.
"Football is a game which has become so big and so popular because of the supporters and the fans. I think if there were no supporters and no fans, football would not be where it is today, and players would not become stars, how they are today. So if you have the opportunity to be loved by the fans and the people who love football, it's just an honour for me, and I'm very touched."
