美白宫敦促维基揭秘网站停止公布阿富汗战争秘密文件

The founder of the website that leaked 90,000 classified documents on the Afghanistan war has rejected accusations by US officials that he has blood on his hands. Julian Assange of Wiki leaks told the BBC that there was no evidence to back up US concerns that any of its informers have been killed as a result of the leaks. He accused the Pentagon of trying to distract attention from the lives that were being lost in the war.

"One must consider why the Pentagon is focusing on the hypothetical blood that it says might be on our hands, although there is no evidence of that,compared to the 20,000 lives that have been lost in Afghanistan that are documented and exposed by our material."

希腊出动军队保障居民供应

The Greek government is to use the army and navy to break a lorry driver strike which has led to shortages of fuel and food in the country. The drivers have said their strike will continue despite a government emergency order designed to force them back to work. Malcolm Brabant reports from Athens.

The lorry drivers' refusal to call off the strike has been the most serious challenge to the government during Greece's eight-month long financial crisis. The Union leaders wanted to test whether the government's tough talk was just bluff. And the Prime Minister George Papandreou has now demonstrated that he is deadly serious. In a country with very fresh memories of the military dictatorship, it is an enormously brave step to break a strike with the army. What it means is that army tankers will now go to blockaded petrol refineries and will deliver fuel to strategic places such as hospitals and ports.
