TRIPOLI, April 30 (Xinhua) -- Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, youngest son of Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, was killed in NATO's strike against Gaddafi's house, said a spokesman of the Libyan government.

The NATO attack against Gaddafi's house resulted in the deaths of Saif al-Arab Gaddafi, 29, youngest son of Gaddafi, and three of Gaddafi's grandchildren, said Mossa Ibrahim, the government spokesman.

The leader himself and his wife, who were in the house, were in good health, while other people injured in the attack, said the spokesman.

This is a direct operation to assassinate the leader, said the spokesman.

The attacks had no legal or political foundations, he said, saying the strike was a violation of the international law.

Asserting he would not leave, embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi floated on Saturday a proposal for a ceasefire and negotiations in a televised speech.

He said that all parties concerned should follow the truce, and the NATO forces must stop their attacks.

Gaddafi ruled out the possibility that he will quit and leave Libya, which he has been ruling over the past 41 years.

Gaddafi slammed the air raids by NATO, which started to attack his fortified compound in the capital Tripoli.

The world's major powers, the UK, the US and France, started on March 19 to launch strikes from the air and sea against Gaddafi's forces after the UN Security Council passed a resolution to impose a no-fly zone over Libya and authorize "all necessary measures" to protect civilians in Libya.

Hundreds of people have been killed in a massive earthquake in Japan that triggered a devastating tsunami. The quake -- the most powerful to hit Japan in more than 100 years -- caused massive damage and many people are missing and feared dead.

The 8.9 magnitude quake struck Friday off Japan's eastern coast, and prompted tsunami warnings across the Pacific as far away as South America and the U.S. West Coast. The Red Cross warned that the 10-meter high tidal wave could wash over some small islands entirely.

In Japan, the tsunami swept away boats, cars and hundreds of houses in coastal areas north of Tokyo.

The quake shook buildings in the Japanese capital and caused several fires. All train and subway traffic in Tokyo has been stopped, and thousands of people there were unable to get back home.

Authorities ordered the evacuation of about 3,000 people from the area around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant north of Tokyo. No radiation leaks were detected, but officials are concerned the reactor's core may overheat e to a system malfunction. A fire was also reported earlier in the turbine building of the Onagawa nuclear plant in Miyagi.

Addressing the nation, Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan said the government would do everything it can to minimize the effects of the disaster. And in Washington, President Barack Obama said the United States is ready to help the people of Japan. The U.S. military in Japan has opened up the Yokota Air Base to some commercial flights diverted from Japanese airports.

日本的大规模地震造成数百人死亡。这次地震引发了毁灭性的海啸。这次日本100年来最强烈的地震造成大规模的损失，许多人失踪，甚至恐怕已经死亡。

这次8.9级的地震星期五发生在日本东海岸125公里外，引发了环太平洋地区海啸警报，涉及范围远至南美地区和整个美国西海岸。红十字会警告说，10米高的巨浪可能将把一些小岛整个淹没。

在日本，海啸冲走了东京以北的沿海地区的船只、汽车和数百幢房屋。

地震震动了日本首都的建筑物，并引起了几起火灾。东京所有火车和地铁停止运行，数以千计的人无法回家。

当局下令将东京以北的福岛核电厂周围大约3千人撤出这一地区。尽管没有探测到任何核泄漏，但官员们担心系统故障可能导致反应器的核心过热。早些时候的报导说，宫城县附近的女川核电厂发电机组发生火灾。

日本首相菅直人向全国发表讲话。他说，政府将尽其所能把灾害的影响控制在最小程度。在华盛顿，美国总统奥巴马说，美国准备随时帮助日本人民。驻日美军向无法在日本机场降落的一些商业飞机开放了横田空军基地。

BBC News with Iain Purdon

The International Committee of the Red Cross says the Syrian government has given it permission to enter the besieged district of Baba Amr in Homs tomorrow just hours after opposition fighters retreated. Carla Mardini is a spokeswoman for the ICRC in Geneva.
"We'll be bringing in food and medical aid. As to the figures of the teams, this is being organised right now, so I can't give you more. We also don't have the figures of how many people were seriously wounded or dead. We'll have to see what the situation is on the spot . It's a priority for us to enter so we can assess the situation on the ground and decide how we're going to respond the most efficiently and the most rapidly."
Earlier, opposition fighters in Homs announced that they were staging what they called a " tactical withdrawal" from Baba Amr. It's been a major opposition stronghold and has faced weeks of heavy shelling from government forces with reports of hundreds of deaths. Syrian officials say the army is now in control of the area.
In another development, the United Nations Security Council has unanimously demanded immediate humanitarian access to Syria, and the statement was backed by China and Russia, who until now have resisted any moves to condemn Syria or take action against it. Jane O'Brien reports from Washington.
国际红十字委员会(ICRC)称，反对派武装人员撤退后，叙利亚政府已允许该组织进入受困的胡姆斯巴巴阿姆鲁地区。Carla Mardini是ICRC驻日内瓦女发言人。
“我们将提供食物和医疗援助，由于马上就要组织好，所以救援人数不会很多。我们还不知道多少人严重受伤或死亡，必须马上了解情况。重要的前提就是能够进入这个地区，这样才能实地评估情况，然后决定如何有效、快速做出反应。”
早些时候，驻胡姆斯的反对派武装人员宣称正从巴巴阿姆鲁发起所谓的“战略撤退”。该地区曾是反对派的重要据点，数周来一直遭受政府军的猛烈轰击，据悉有数百人丧生。叙利亚官员称军队现已控制该地区。
同时，联合国安理会一致同意迅速向叙利亚提供人道主义援助，中国和俄罗斯都支持该声明，不过这两国目前仍反对任何谴责叙利亚的言论和行动。Jane O'Brien在华盛顿报道

银行抢劫案
〃I wish Central Bank would be robbed,〃George Pickens said to himself. He had been making this wish daily from the time he had started work as a teller at the bank.

All over the country banks were being robbed, George thought sourly. Why not this bank ？Were robbers scornful of its four－million－dollar capital？Were they afraid of Mr. Ackerman, the old bank guard, who hadn’t pulled out his gun in twenty－two years？

Of course, George had a reason for wanting the bank to be robbed. After all, he couldn’t simply take the thick bundles of bills that were under his hands all day long. So he had thought of another way to get them. His plan was simple. It went like this：

If Bank Robber A holds up Bank Teller B…

And if Bank Teller B gives Bank Robber A a certain amount of money…

What is to prevent Bank Teller B from keeping all the money left and claiming that it was stolen by Bank Robber A？ There was only one problem. Where was Bank Robber A？

One morning George entered the bank feeling something was about to happen.〃Good morning, Mr. Burrows.〃he said cheerfully. The bank president muttered something and went into his office.

At two o’clock Bank Robber A walked in. George knew he was a bank robber. For one thing, he slunk in. For another thing, he wore a mask.

〃This is a holp.〃the man said roughly. He took a pistol from his pocket. The guard made a small sound.〃You,〃the bank robber said,〃lie down on the floor.〃Mr. Ackerman lay down. The robber stepped over to George’s cage.

〃All right.〃he said.〃Hand it over.〃〃, sir.〃said George.〃Would you like it in ten－or－twenty－dollar bills？〃

〃Just hand it over！〃

George reached into his cashbox and took all the bills from the top section, close to six thousand dollars. He passed them through the window. The robber snatched them, stuffed them into his pocket, and turned to leave.

Then, while everyone watched Bank Robber A, Bank Teller B calmly lifted off the top section of the cashbox and slipped bills from the bottom section into his pockets.

The bank robber was gone. George fainted. When he woke he smiled up at the worried faces looking down at him.〃I’m all right.〃he said bravely.

〃Perhaps you should go home, George.〃Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, said.

As soon as he was safely behind his bedroom door, George took the money from his pockets and counted it. He had seven thousand dollars. He was very happy。

The next morning when George arrived at the bank, it was not open for business. But everyone was there, helping to examine the bank’s records for the special audit Mr. Bell was taking.

George was called into Mr. Burrows’s office. The bank president seemed strangely cheerful.〃George,〃he said,〃I want you to meet Mr. Carruthers, who used to be president of our bank.〃

〃Good morning, George.〃said Mr. Carruthers.〃I was sorry to hear you fainted yesterday. Are you all right now？〃

〃Yes, sir. Just fine, thanks.〃

〃I’m glad to hear it. That was quite an adventure. It just goes to show how easy it is to rob our bank.〃

〃Sir？〃said George, confused.〃

George, I was sorry to give you a hard time yesterday, but with all the banks being robbed these days I thought it would be a good idea to prove that our little bank can be robbed too. I have retired, but I haven’t stopped thinking. That’s why I played my little game yesterday, just to keep everybody on his toes.〃

〃I don’t understand.〃said George.〃What game？〃

The old man laughed and whipped out a mask. He placed it over his face and said,〃All right. Hand it over！〃Mr. Burrows laughed but George did not.

〃And the money？〃George asked in a small voice.

〃Don’t worry.〃Mr. Carruthers said.〃I put it all back in your cashbox, all six thousand. We’re just finishing up the audit now.〃George turned cold with fear.

Behind them, the door opened and Mr. Bell, the chief auditor, put his head into the room.〃Mr.Burrows,〃he said gravely,〃may I see you a moment？〃

欢迎到我们银行来

“我真希望中央银行遭劫。”乔治·皮肯斯自言自语道。自从他在这家银行当上出纳以来,天天都这样希望。

全国的银行都被抢了,怎么不抢这家？他越想越不是滋味儿。难道强盗们看不上这里400万美元的资金？还是他们怕这里的老警卫阿克门先生？他已经22年没掏出他的枪了。

当然,乔治有理由盼望这个银行遭劫。毕竟,他不可能把他整天经手的大捆大捆的钞票就这么拿走。于是,他想出了另一个法子把它们弄到手。他的计划很简单,大致如下：

假如强盗甲劫持了银行出纳员乙……假设乙把一定数额的钱交给了甲……

那么又有什么能阻止乙把剩下的钱全部私吞,然后就说所有的钱都被甲抢走了呢？问题只有一个,强盗甲在哪儿？

一天早晨,乔治走进银行时觉得似乎要出事。“早晨好,伯罗斯先生。”他高兴地向经理问候,经理嘀咕了什么就走进了自己的办公室。

两点钟的时候,强盗甲走进了银行。乔治知道他是抢银行的强盗,原因之一是他进来时鬼鬼祟祟,二是他戴着面具。

“这是抢劫！”那家伙粗暴地说。他从口袋里掏出手枪。警卫发出了一点儿声响。“你,”强盗说：“趴在地上！”阿克门先生趴下了。强盗走到乔治的窗口前。

“好,把钱交出来！”

“是,先生,”乔治答应着：“你要10元一张的还是20元一张的？”

“交出来就行了！”

乔治把手伸进装现金的盒子,把顶层的钞票都拿了出来———有6000元左右。他把钱从窗口递出来。强盗抓住钱塞进口袋,转身就跑。

当大伙都盯着强盗甲的时候,出纳乙沉着地把盒子里下层的钞票偷偷塞进了自己的口袋。

强盗跑了。乔治晕倒在地。当他醒来时,朝那一张张焦急地瞧着他的脸微笑。“我没事。”他勇敢地说。

“也许你应该回家去,乔治。”首席审计员贝尔先生说。

乔治刚刚安然走进自己的卧室,就在门后,从口袋里掏出钱来数。他有7000美元了,真高兴。

第二天早晨,乔治来到银行。银行没有营业,但全体职员都来了,正在协助贝尔先生进行特别查账,审核银行记录。

乔治被叫进了伯罗斯先生的办公室。这位银行经理似乎出人意料地高兴。“乔治,”他说：“我想让你见一下我们银行的前任经理卡拉瑟斯先生。”

“早上好,乔治,”卡拉瑟斯先生说：“听说你昨天晕倒了,我很难过。你现在好了吗？”

“是的,先生。全好了,谢谢！”

“我很高兴你没事了。那确实是非同一般的冒险,这件事说明抢咱们银行真容易！”

“您说什么？”乔治有些迷惑不解。

“乔治,很抱歉昨天让你经历了一段难捱的时刻。因为近来所有银行都遭到了抢劫,我觉得想个办法证明咱们的银行也会被抢,倒是个不坏的主意。我已经退休了,可我并没停止思索。这就是为什么昨天我搞了个小游戏,只不过是为了让每个人保持警觉。”

“我不明白,”乔治说：“什么游戏？”

这位老人笑了,嗖地一下拿出一个面具,把它戴在自己脸上,说：“好,把钱交出来！”伯罗斯先生哈哈大笑,乔治可笑不出来。

“那钱？”乔治小声问。

“别担心,”卡拉瑟斯先生说：“我已经把钱全放回你的现金盒子里了,一共6000。我们就要查完账了！”乔治吓得浑身冰凉。

他们身后那扇门开了,首席审计员贝尔先生把头伸了进来。“伯罗斯先生,”他严肃地说：“您能出来一下吗？”

Conservation efforts in Inner Mongolia have spurred the northern region's development and benefited the national capital,top regional officials said yesterday in Beijing.
The autonomous region,which is known as a major source of the seasonal sandstorms that blanket Beijing,has "done what it could" to curb ecological deterioration,Yang Jing,chairman of the regional government,said.
"Protecting the environment has been listed as Inner Mongolia's most important infrastructure project," Yang told a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office yesterday to mark the region's 60th anniversary.
"The number of sandstorms has fallen significantly in recent years,which favorably influences the weather in Beijing and Tianjin."
Inner Mongolia,which is some 300 km north of Beijing,has long been thought of as the capital's backyard.However,the distance is not enough to protect Beijing from the wind-borne st and sand that blow down from the region.
Dust blown in from western Inner Mongolia blanketed Beijing nearly two months ago,lowering visibility to 4 km from 20 km the previous day.
Inner Mongolia has spent some 20 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) on efforts to halt desertification in an area measuring 16.7 million hectares over the past five years.It has also increased its forest coverage to 17.6 percent of its total area from 14.8 percent in 1999,Yang said.
At least 3 billion yuan was earmarked to implement the massive "Beijing-Tianjin windblown sand sources control project" in a bid to build a green ecological belt in northern China,according to regional government sources.
The project involves 458,000 sq km of land,about 48 percent of which lies in Inner Mongolia.
"There are several sources of sand and st (affecting Beijing) besides Inner Mongolia.We have done what we could on our part," Yang said.
Chu Bo,secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party of China,said yesterday that 70 percent of the region's livestock has been confined to enclosed pastures to rece the grazing pressure on grasslands.
In addition to returning farmland to forests and reclaiming overgrazed pastures,Inner Mongolia has encouraged traditional pastoral areas to develop alternative instries.
Citing Erdos as a success story,Chu said the city would have plunged into an ecological vicious circle had it not built up secondary and tertiary instries.
As a result,the city of 1.4 million people is expected to have a gross domestic proct of 100 billion yuan ($13 billion) this year,a level of prosperity that can only be found in the country's coastal regions,Chu said.
Inner Mongolia is home to China's largest grasslands.The region spans 1.18 million sq km,which is about twice the size of Ukraine.
不算太长吧.
