The United States says it cannot allowdiplomatic paralysis to serve as a shield for the Syrian leadership. The StateDepartment criticized Russia after it used a meeting of the five permanentmembers of the Security Council to block a resolution which would haveauthorized measures to protect civilians in Syria. From the United Nations,here is Nick Bryant.

美國稱不能允許敘利亞將外交的麻痹作為領導力的盾牌。俄羅斯用聯合國安理會的五名永久成員的會議來阻礙本可以本可以授權保護敘利亞人們的措施。Nick Bryant在聯合國為您報導。

Britain convened a meeting of the permanentfive members of the Security Council to discuss a possible resolutionauthorizing the use of forces in Syria. But it failed to break the diplomaticdeadlock between the UK, US and France who favor a military response to lastweek's chemical attack and Russia and China which have repeatedly blockedpunitive measures against the Assad regime. America said afterwards they heardnothing different from the Russians during the closed-door meeting and alsothat the Syrian government couldn't continue to hide behind what it calledMoscow's intransigence.

The Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrovsaid that the UN can not consider any draft resolution or proposed action inSyria before the UN weapons inspectors there finish their investigation intolast week's alleged chemical attack. Syria's ambassador to the UN BasharJaafari has at meanwhile called for UN inspectors to be allowed to completetheir work without military or political pressure.

Damascus seems quiet among trips I madehere earlier this year. The city is waiting decisions that are been takenelsewhere. The Syrian war is about to move into a new phase. Army roadblocksstop traffic every few miles down the highway in-and-from the Lebanese borderas they had since the war started. I saw some activities around military bases,men moving about the entrances. News agencies quoting residents and opponentsof the Assad regime have reported that some heavy weaponry has been moved outof bases and staff are partially vacated some headquarters' buildings.

今年早些時候我去的時候，大革馬士看起來挺平靜的。這個城市正在等待著其他地方採取過的措施。敘利亞的戰爭正進入一個新的階段。自從戰爭開始後，軍隊在通往黎巴嫩路上每隔幾公里就會設置路障。我看到軍事基地附近有一些活動，人們向湧向入口處。新聞局引用了市民以及阿薩德政權的對手的話，報導稱一些重型武器從基地運出來騰空總部的建築。

“Because they marched, the civil rights lawwas passed. Because they marched, a voting rights law was signed. Because theymarched, doors of opportunity and education swung open so their daughters andsons could finally imagine a life for themselves beyond washing somebody else'slaundry or shining somebody else's shoes. Because they marched, city councilschanged and state legislators changed and Congress changed, and yes, eventuallythe White House changed.”

“因為他們的努力，人權法得到通過。因為他們的努力，選舉法得到通過。因為他們的努力，機會和教育之門得以打開，他們的兒女們才可以得意擺脫為人洗衣擦鞋的命運。因為他們的努力，市政局得以改變，立法者得以改變，國會得以改變。是的，最終白宮也得以改變。”

Scientists in California say a slowdown inthe rate of global warming can be explained by a natural cooling in part of thePacific Ocean. Their research published in the journal Nature, explains whythere has been no significant global warming in the past 15 years. Thescientists say that the colder waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean havecounteracted the increased levels of man-made carbon dioxide. But they warnthat the Pacific will enter a warmer phase at some point at which the globalaverage temperatures will accelerate upwards.

加利福尼亞科學家稱，全球變暖速度放緩可以通過太平洋部分地區的天然冷卻作用來解釋。他們的研究發表在《自然》雜誌上，解釋了為何過去15年沒有明顯的全球變暖現象。科學家們太平洋東部較冷的水溫抵消了人造二氧化碳不斷增加的影響。但是他們警告稱，太平洋未來將會進入更加溫暖的時期，屆時全球平均氣溫將會加速上漲。
