The Russian President Vladimir Putin has called on pro-Russian separatists in southern and eastern Ukraine to postpone a referendum on autonomy, which is due at the weekend. He also said this month's presidential elections in Ukraine were a move in the right direction. From Moscow, Steve Rosenberg.

俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京[Vladimir Putin]已经号召在乌克兰南部和东部的亲俄罗斯分裂分子推迟就自治权进行的公投,该公投原定于周末举行。他还说这个月乌克兰的总统选举是朝着正确方向的一步。史蒂夫·罗森伯格[Steve Rosenberg]莫斯科报道。

The one thing Vladimir Putin isn't known for is performing U turns but his latest comments on Ukraine do suggest a shift in the Kremlin's position. And that raises hope at least of a diplomatic solution to the conflict. President Putin called on supporters of federalization in southeast Ukraine to postpone a referendum on secession planned for Sunday. This he said would create conditions for dialogue between the authorities in Kiev and those in Ukraine seeking greater autonomy.

弗拉基米尔·普京[Vladimir Putin]最不清楚的一件事就是掉头转向,但是他对乌克兰最新的评论确实表明了克里姆林宫立场的转变。而这燃起了用外交方式解决这场危机的希望。普京[Putin]总统呼吁乌克兰南部联邦制的支持者们推迟原定于星期天举行的公投。他说这将能够为基辅和希望寻求更大自治权的乌克兰人创造对话条件。

After three years of fighting with Syrian government forces, hundreds of opposition fighters have been streaming out of the old city of Homs, which had become a symbol of resistance to President Assad. Smoke billowed from parts of the city. Residents said the rebels had set fire to their bases before they left. The warring sides had made a deal which allowed the rebels and their families to leave. This activist in Holmes summed up the feelings of those moving out. “Up till now we have been fighting. We love the city. We lived our best days here. It's in our hearts and souls. None of the international organizations succeeded in putting enough pressure on the regime to open a humanitarian corridor or to supply us with the basic needs, food and medicine. We will leave to preserve who is still alive inside.”

在与叙利亚政府军进行三年的战斗后,数百名反对派武装分子已经离开了老城区霍姆斯,这里曾成为抵抗总统阿萨德[Assad]的一个象征地。该城市的部分地区冒着烟,当地居民说叛军在离开之前放火烧了他们的基地。交战双方达成的协议是要求叛军和他们的家属离开这个地方,霍姆斯的一名活动人士总结了这些离开的人的感受。“到目前为止,我们一直在战斗,我们喜爱这座城市。我们在这里度过了最美好的日子。这座城市已经住进我们的心里和灵魂里。没有哪个国际组织成功地对当局适当施压,以开启人道主义通道给我们提供基本的物品、食物和药品。我们准备离开,好让那些仍留在城里的人活下来。”

A resident of the town of Gamboru Ngala, in Borno state told the BBC that people began to bury their relatives in mass graves on Tuesday and were still burying them now. She said the militants had locked up whole families in their homes. And then the gunmen would enter and spray them with bullets. Many residents had talked about members of Boko Haram using diversionary tactics. They said the militants spread rumors that the abducted school girls had been spotted somewhere else. The security forces then left Gamboru Ngala, leaving it at the mercy of Boko Haram.

South Africans have turned out in large numbers to vote in general elections as the country marks 20 years since the end of white minority rule. Long queues formed outside polling stations. And there was an air of excitement especially amongst first time voters, born after the end of the apartheid in 1994. The African National Congress is expected to win a fifth consecutive term in office.

New research into piracy has found that it has declined off the coast of east Africa but it is proving more difficult to combat on the west coast. The report by Oceans Beyond Piracy examined the costs of piracy off Somalia and in the Gulf of Guinea last year. It said although the economic cost of Somali piracy was 3 billion dollars, raids on ships declined, with only 23 vessels being targeted last year.

The art museum says it's surprised and delighted that Cornelius Gurlitt's will stipulated that it should get the pictures he kept in secret. But it adds, that the legacy brings with it, what it calls a wealth of questions of the most difficult and sensitive kind, of a legal and ethical nature, The museum now inherits more than a thousand pictures which any gallery in the world would want, but also disputes over how many of the works were looted by the Nazis, and then acquired improperly by Cornelius Gurlitt's father, who was a war time art dealer.

艺术博物馆称其又惊讶又开心看到(Cornelius Gurlitt)在遗嘱中规定要将画作秘密地保藏。但是博物馆补充说,这笔遗产让人对其合法性和伦理本性产生了疑问。博物馆现在继承了1000多幅世界上任何画廊都渴望拥有的画作,但也对纳粹究竟掠夺了多少作品进行了争论,这些作品通过不当方式被(Cornelius Gurlitt)的父亲获得,他当时是战时艺术交易商。
