It was a popular endorsement of President Robert Mugabe, their commander in the liberation struggle against white minority rule. Today many expected of the same at the press briefing, but they were given a temporary(不确定) message, those some of country's commanders if issued testaments, urging their subordinates to vote for President Robert Mugabe into all those polls. Should anyone other than President Robert Mugabe win? There’s a feeling here after this morning's press briefing that the security forces may just remain in their barracks.

The Indian government has raised the minimum price for selling non-basmati rice abroad by more than 50% to a record 1,000 dollars a ton. Egypt, Cambodia and Vietnam have all cut exports and the Chinese have again increased the price that they pay to farmers and increased farm spending to boost food production.

The Shiite militia in Iraq, known as the Mehdi Army, has ignored an ultimatum by the government to hand over its weapons and surrender. The Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki offered the militiamen money to lay down their arms, but after four days of fighting, they are remaining control of much of the southern city of Basra.

BBC News with Jonathan Izzard.

Voting has ended in Zimbabwe where President Robert Mugabe is standing for a sixth term in office. Despite opposition claims of vote rigging, the Chairman of Zimbabwe's Electoral Commission George Chiweshe said he was not aware of any problems. Our Southern Africa correspondent Peter Biles reports.

It's likely to be a day or two at least before all the results from these elections are declared. The process is unusually complicated because for the first time in Zimbabwe four separate polls have been taking place. There's the presidential election, voting for the two Houses of Parliament and local council elections. It's thought the counting and collation of the presidential votes could take the longest. Although there were long queues of voters at some polling stations in the capital Harare, the overall turnout could be quite low. The votes from the countryside where around 2/3 of the electorate lives will be decisive.

The Iraqi authorities have extended the curfew in the capital Baghdad indefinitely. It was imposed on Thursday and was to expire in a few hours time. From Baghdad, Crispin Thorold reports.

The enforcement of curfew in Baghdad on Thursday night was a sign of how much security in the capital had deteriorated in a short time. It was meant to come to an end early on Sunday morning, the start of the working week. Now the government has extended the curfew indefinitely. That's a decision that will damage the capital economically as well as inconvenience in the people who live here. But the security forces hope a continuing curfew would give them time to get greater control of the areas of the capital where there are still clashes.

The American Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is in Israel for talks aimed at advancing the stalled Middle East Peace Process. She told reporters that she would press for the easing of restrictions on Palestinians living in the West Bank. Her visit coincides with the opening of an Arab Summit in neighboring Syria, one of the Arab world's most persistent critics of US policy. The main Arab allies of the United States, Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia sent only low-level delegations to the meeting. They blame Syria for the political crisis in Lebanon and oppose its support for the militant group Hamas and Hezbollah. Syria has accused the US of trying to undermine the summit. Syrian government minister Doctor Bouthaina Shaaban said it was gratifying that the summit would proceed despite US pressures.

"I don't think there is any block to the summit at all, I think we have taken into account the pressures that have been exerted by Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice, and others for some Arab leaders not to come, we would find it’s gratifying that so many Arab leaders did come to the summit."

The British military in Basra says its forces have been involved in the fighting between the Iraqi army and Shiite militiamen for the first time. The British military spokesman Major Tom Holloway said British artillery fired at / insurgents at the request of the Iraqi forces who had come under attack. Until now, British involvement in Southern Iraq has been limited to surveillance flights.

World News from the BBC.

One of the Democratic Party contenders for the US presidency Hillary Clinton has rejected calls by supporters of her rival Barack Obama to abandon her campaign. She was responding to comments by Senator Patrick Leahy, supporter of Mr. Obama, who said that by remaining in the race, she was helping the Republican candidate John McCain. Mrs. Clinton is trailing Mr. Obama in the number of delegates needed to obtain the nomination, but the latest opinion polls show her leading Mr. Obama in the next major primary in Pennsylvania.

There has been disruption for a third day at the new Terminal Five at Heathrow Airport in London. Nearly 70 British Airways flights have been canceled and more cancellations are expected on Sunday. British Airways has told the BBC that at least 15,000 bags are stranded at different terminals at the airport. A passenger en route to Cyprus Peter Williams told the BBC his flight would be leaving without any luggage on board.

"There seems to be a very big problem with the luggage system at Terminal Five still, er, because we've just been given the choice of either getting off the plane and not flying to Larnaca(拉纳卡，塞浦路斯城市) today but with no guarantee when we could get our bags from Terminal Five or staying on the plane but not flying with our bags."

The government in Afghanistan has condemned a television program that showed pictures of men and women dancing together. The Ministry of Information and Culture said the dancing which were shown on Tolo TV was against the beliefs and traditions of Islam in Afghanistan and undermined the morals of the young. It said the broadcast would be referred to a government media monitoring body to decide if it has broken the law. Tolo TV is one of Afghanistan's most popular channels.

And here in Britain, Oxford have beaten Cambridge to win the 154th university boat race. Oxford the heavier crew took the lead halfway through the race on the River Thames and won easily by more than six lengths. It was the slowest race since 1947. Cambridge lead the series with one dead heat in 1877.

After several hours of uncertainty and growing tension in Zimbabwe over the results of presidential and parliamentary elections, officials have announced that the first results will be disclosed in a few hours’ time. Riot police have been patrolling the streets of the capital Harare and residents have been told to stay indoors. Controversy had been growing throughout the country when no results have been announced till more than 24 hours after the polls have closed. The head of the Pan-African Parliamentary Mission Marwick Khumalo said most votes have been counted and it would be unfortunate if the declaration was held up for political reasons.

“We are all waiting, because this is of interest not only to Zimbabwe we could say, but to Africa and the world. In fact, I am worried, I don’t want to sound negative, but I happened to have been on the ground in Kenya .These are the delays that start causing problems in a country.”

The Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has welcomed the decision by the Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr to order his Mahdi Army Militia to stop fighting government troops. He said that it was a step in the right direction. Hundreds of people have been killed in days of fighting which started in Basra before spreading to other southern cities and the capital Baghdad. Chrispin Thorold reports.

This appears to be a deal that could and should end the worst of the fighting in the Iraq. The Shiite Cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has called the militiamen from the Mahdi Army off the streets of Basra and all other provinces. In return he expects the government to stop its illegal and haphazard raids. The agreement will face its first test on Monday morning when the curfew, that has been in place in the capital for four days, is lifted in most of the city.

The Venezuelan authorities have launched a new operation against drug traffickers by bombing secret airstrips in remote parts of the country close to the Colombian border. From Caracas, James Ingham reports.

Venezuela has been criticized in the past by the United States for failing to take drug trafficking seriously. The vast area of Los Llanos, which stretches east from the Colombian border, is very flat, making it ideal terrain for traffickers who can easily create improvised runways .In one state alone authorities have found 157 landing strips. The objective of operation whole is to destroy them all. The authorities say the bombing will be backed up by awareness and social programmes aimed at the indigenous communities living in this remote parts of the country.

The government of Tanzania has suspended all mining operations in the northern region of the country where at least 65 miners drowned after heavy rain and floods.

The Cambodian journalist whose enslavement and escape from the Khmer Rouge became the subject of an Oscar-winning Hollywood movie “The Killing Fields” has died. The death of the journalist Dith Pran from pancreatic cancer was confirmed by his former colleague Sydney Schanberg. Endrea Vony reports.

Dith Pran had worked as an assistant to an American reporter Sydney Schanberg before being subbed into the murderous tyranny that the Khmer Rouge unleashed on his country in 1975. He survived four years of hunger, torture and back-breaking work before escaping and emigrating to the U.S. where he was reunited with Schanberg. The reporter’s memoir of him formed the basis of the celebrated film “The Killing Fields”. In what many would see as a tragic twist, Dith Pran is survived by some of the top Khmer Rouge leaders who’ve yet to come to trial.

The governing ZANU-PF party in Zimbabwe has endorsed the candidacy of President Robert Mugabe for a possible second round of the presidential election if the electoral commission declares that there was no clear winner in last Saturday's poll. Mr. Mugabe would face the opposition leader, Mr.Morgan Tsvangirai, whose supporters say won the vote. His spokesman said the Zimbabwean court will hear an application on Saturday morning by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change to force the electoral commission to publish the election result. Peter Biles reports from Johannesburg.

Nearly a week after Zimbabweans went to the polls, there's still no official word on the outcome of the presidential election. The MDC opposition has filed an urgent court application to force the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission to release the results immediately. International pressure has also been growing. But it has become clear the government believes that there will have to be a second round of voting, perhaps within three weeks. ZANU-PF's polled bureau has confirmed that President Mugabe will go to a run-off if there is no clear winner of this time. The opposition fears the government will unleash a wave of violence and intimidation to influence the outcome.

An Argentine couple had been jailed for illegally adopting a baby girl born thirty years ago to parents who were kidnapped by the military government. The landmark case was brought by the adopted woman whose real parents were among the 30,000 people who were killed during the years of military rule. From Buenos Aires, Daniel Schweimler.

Maria Eugenia Sampallo Barragan was calling for her adoptive parents to be sentenced to 25 years in prison, the maximum allowed. The court found them guilty of falsifying documents and hiding their adopted daughter's identity. But the court gave them lower sentences. The mother Maria Cristina Gomez Pinto 7 years and the father Svaldo Rivas 8. The former captain, Enrique Berthier, found guilty of taking the baby and giving it to the couple, was sentenced to 10 years in jail. Human rights group outside the court expressed mixed emotions: pleased as three were found guilty, but disappointed at the reduced sentences.

The former American President Bill Clinton and his wife Hillary have revealed how much money they have made over the past seven years. Their combined earnings came to 109 million dollars. They also paid 33 million dollars in taxes and gave 10 million to charity. Jack Izzard reports from Washington.

Even since Barack Obama published his tax returns, Hillary Clinton has been under pressure to do the same. Both candidates are keen to show they have nothing to hide from voters as they fight for the Democratic Party's nomination. Many Americans will pore over these figures which show just how much The Clintons are worth. Since Bill Clinton stood down as president, he has earned 80 million dollars from making speeches and sales of his books. Together with his wife, they have made 109 million dollars.

The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon says violence against civilians in Darfur may be worsening. Mr. Ban said the situation in the Sudanese region is at least as bad as it was when the Security Council began to discuss the crisis four years ago. He said violence against women and children continued at alarming levels with no accountability or end in sight. Peacekeepers from the African Union and the UN are being sent to Darfur. But so far only 9000 of the planned 26000 are on the ground.

The UN convention/ to protect the rights of people with disabilities will come into force next month after Ecuador become the 20th country to ratify the treaty. The convention outlaws all forms of discrimination on the basis of disability and says countries should combat stereotypes and prejudices while promoting awareness of the capabilities of the people with disabilities.

The French authorities say pirates have boarded a luxury French yacht in the gulf of Aden off Somalia and taken its 30 crew hostage. The yacht the Ponant is an 850-ton and three-masted vessel. Our Africa reporter Paddy Clarke has the story.

The hijacked yacht is designed for cruising in some style. Eighty-eight meters long, it has four decks, two restaurants and indoor and outdoor luxury lounges. The boat was sailing back from the Seychelles without any passengers in preparation for a Mediterranean cruise later this month. The French government has launched, what it calls, a piracy alert plan. French and American forces are in the area, and are said to be monitoring the situation. Somali coastal waters are among the most notorious in the world for piracy and shipping is generally advised to steer well clear.

Hundreds of people have braved heavy rain in the American city of Memphis to celebrate the legacy of the civil rights leader Martin Luther King. It's 40 years since Doctor King was assassinated on the balcony of a Motel there. The crowd huddled beneath umbrellas as wreaths were laid in Doctor King's memory. Among the dignitaries was the Republican Presidential candidate John McCain.

General Patraeus recommended a six weeks freeze to further withdrawals, while the security situation in Iraq was assessed.

The US Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker told the senators that the US and Iraqi government had begun negotiating a long-term framework for their relations. J.R.  reports from Washington.

The picture painted by general Patraeus and Ambassador Crocker is of Iraq making halting and fragile progress. The general said America should continue its plan to gradually reduce the number of US troops in Iraq to about 140,000 by July; he said they should be followed by a forty-five day evaluation period, before deciding what to do next. The ambassador said the recent violence in Basra showed there was still a long way to go before the Iraqi government can take a full control of the city.

The FARC Rebel group in Colombia has refused to allow a French humanitarian mission to meet the Colombia politician Ingrid Betancourt, who was captured by the rebels six years ago. From Colombia, here is Jeremy MacDonald.

The guerrilla said their having released six hostages unilaterally this year was up to the government and president Álvaro Uribe to make some concessions. The key concession the rebels are after is the demilitarized zone in the south-west of the country. The formal messages indicate two things: Firstly are the pressures back on president Vélez to make concessions even though he has ruled out granting any safe haven to the guerillas. The second is the reports of Ms Betancourt’s deteriorating health might not be accurate. As if she was on the point of death as some rumors have suggested, the guerillas might be less intransigent.

坚持听下来确实需要花费大量时间和精力，5分钟bbc的听力稿我一般得听一个小时到一个半小时，开始全文听个三四遍，然后用复读软件逐句听。还是有很多听不懂，主要是听第三册。起点比较低，没办法。
另外draft我也无法复制使用，用回复就可以了。把没听出来的部分用红色标出即可。用所见即所得模式。
