　　卡扎菲军与叛军坦克激烈拉锯

　　Forces loyal to the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi have intensified their assault on rebel-held towns, using tanks, artillery, and air power. About 50 government tanks were reported to have attacked Zawiya near the capital Tripoli from where Wyre Davies reports.

　　We understand from at least two trusted sources inside the town of Zawiya that there has been heavy fighting in the town. One man told us by telephone there were at least 50 government tanks attacking Zawiya and that there were bullets flying in all directions. The same man, a trusted BBC contact, described the town as having been torn down to ashes. Another witness from the rebel-held town just 50 kilometers to the west of Tripoli said, in his own words, “Zawiya has been wiped from the earth.”, and that several people including children had been killed. The Libyan government insists that its troops are not killing civilians, and are only taking up defensive positions around towns like Zawiya.

　　In eastern Libya, pro-Gaddafi forces are reported to have shelled the oil town of Ras Lanuf.

　　塞尔维亚和科索沃的政府代表进行了直接对话

　　Direct talks to try to end one of Europe’s most intractable disputes are taking place between representatives of the Serbian and Kosovo governments. The negotiations in Brussels are the first between the two sides since Kosovo unilaterally broke away from Serbia three years ago. From Belgrade, Mark Lowe reports.

　　Belgrade rejects the declaration of independence of its cherished southern province, but for Kosovo, its independence status is final. Now, in an effort to break the deadlock, the European Union is leading the first direct talks between the parties in Brussels, using the incentive of an eventual EU membership to goad both sides towards a historic compromise. Solving the Kosovo conflicts will be a long and arduous process, and while neither side will change its position on the fundamental issue of independence, success in this dialogue will go some way towards helping both Serbia and Kosovo leave their troubled past behind and move towards their goal of European integration.
