BBC news with Julie Candler.

The founder of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, has made his first public appearance in two months. He was speaking from a balcony of the Ecuadorean embassy in London where he has been hold up to avoid extradition to Sweden over sexual assault allegations. Mr. Assange thanked Ecuador for granting him asylum and angrily criticized the United States. Caroline Hawley reports.

The media circus for today is over, but the stand-off of the Ecuadorean embassy and the diplomatic row over Julian Assange's fate are not. Britain says it won't grant the Wikileak's founder a safe passage so he can get to Ecuador. But it's had to back away for a warning it made last week that it could find a legal basis to enter the embassy and arrest Mr. Assange. That deeply angered not only Ecuador but other countries in South America who will meet next Friday. It also provoked doubts about its legality.

President Jacob Zuma of South Africa has declared a period of mourning following the shooting dead by police of 34 miners who were taking part in a strike over wages. Mr. Zuma has also asked for a commission of inquiry to investigate the incident at a platinum mine. Meanwhile, striking miners have been told to return to work on Monday or face dismissal. But many have said that to end the dispute now will be an insult to their dead colleagues. They say they will return to the protest site and continue to demand better pay. Nomsa Maseko reports from Johannesburg.

Flags will flay at half mast for the whole week. President Jacob Zuma has also declared Thursday as the official day for the memorial service to mourn and promote a violent-free society. Mr. Zuma reiterates that the nation is still in shock and pain, adding that time must be taken to reflect the importance of human life. He also urged the country to avoid pointing fingers. The violence has been blamed on rivalry between Labor Unions during the strike for better wages.

Thousands of people have taken part in anti-Japanese protests in China after Japanese nationalists raised the flag of Japan on disputed islands in East China Sea. Martin Patience reports from Beijing.

In the southern city of Shenzhen, Chinese state media say a thousand people took to the streets. Some of the demonstrators overturned Japanese-made police cars as their anger apparently boiled over. The demonstrations across China were almost certainly sanctioned by the authorities. In the past that tap the country's deep anti-Japanese sentiment as a way to deflect criticism. The islands sit close to key shipping lanes as well as deposits of natural gas which has increased their importance in recent years.

An oil pipeline has been blown up in southwestern Colombia. Local officials are blaming Colombia's largest rebel group the Farc for the attack. It happened near the city of Tumaco which has been without power for the past ten days.

The mandate of the UN observer mission in Syria has officially expired. The observers were deployed to monitor a ceasefire but no truce ever took hold and the violence only escalated. Their departure from Syria comes after the Security Council agreed to end their mission at midnight local time. And instead, back a new civilian office in Damascus to pursue political contacts which might lead to peace.

Police in Pakistan have arrested an 11-year-old Christian girl accused of desecrating pages of the Koran. The incident occurred in a Christian neighborhood on the outskirt of the capital Islamabad. Shahzeb Jillani reports.

The 11-year-old girl at the center of this incident is known to be mentally impaired. Some Christian groups have suggested she has Down's syndrome. She was allegedly found carrying a waste bag which contained pages from the Koran. This is said to have infuriated some local people. And after the prayers on Friday, a large angry crowd gathered to demand action against her. Officials say more than 600 Christians have since fled to their homes from the neighborhood. Under Pakistan's controversial blasphemy laws, a person can be jailed for life for deliberate desecration of the Koran.

The final obstacle to the formation of Somalia's first parliament selected inside the country since 1991 appears to have been overcome. Martin Plaut reports.

This is a critical moment. Somalia has had no effective government since the overthrow of President Siad Barre in 1991. On Sunday morning, representatives of the international community flew into Mogadishu from Nairobi for final talks with President Sheikh Sharif Sheikh Ahmed. The President had halted the issuing of identity cards for MPs. This came after a committee invited to proposed members of parliament had rejected some selected by his clan who were accused of war crimes. The diplomatic intervention worked and the cards were issued. On Monday, the parliament is due to hold its first sitting.

維基解密的創(chuàng)始人朱利安?阿桑奇兩個月來首次公開露面。他站在在倫敦厄瓜多爾使館的一個陽臺上發(fā)表講話,他一直呆在這里以避免因性侵指控被引渡至瑞典。阿桑奇對厄瓜多爾提供庇護表示感謝,并憤怒批評美國。Caroline Hawley報道。

媒體今天的采訪結束了,但厄瓜多爾使館的冷淡與朱利安?阿桑奇命運引起的外交爭執(zhí)還沒結束。英國稱不會給 維基解密的創(chuàng)始者提供安全通道來讓他到達厄瓜多爾。但又重申了上周的警告,稱可以尋找進入使館的法律根據來逮捕阿桑奇。這不僅令厄瓜多爾感到憤怒,也令周 五即將會面的南美其他國家也感到生氣。也令人懷疑這樣做的合法性。

南非總統(tǒng)雅各布·祖瑪宣布就警察開槍殺死34名礦工事件進行一段時間的哀悼,這些礦工當時因工資問題而舉 行罷工。祖瑪要求調查委員會調查鉑礦事件。同時,罷工礦工已被要求周一回去上班,否則就要被解雇。但許多人說,現在結束這場爭端就是對死去同事的羞辱。他 們稱將回到抗議地點,繼續(xù)要求加薪。Nomsa Maseko在約翰內斯堡報道。

The violence has been blamed on rivalry between Labor Unions during the strike for better wages.

整個一周都會降半旗表示哀悼。總統(tǒng)雅各布·祖瑪宣布周四正式舉行追悼會,呼吁推動建立沒有暴力的社會。祖瑪重申說,這個國家仍在震驚和痛苦之中,必須花時間來反思人們生命的重要性。他還敦促南非不要進行指責。這場暴力被歸咎于進行討薪罷工的對立工會。

Thousands of people have taken part in anti-Japanese protests in China after Japanese nationalists raised the flag of Japan on disputed islands in East China Sea. Martin Patience reports from Beijing.

由于日本民族主義者在中國東海有爭議的島嶼上插上日本國旗,中國上萬人參加了反日抗議。Martin Patience在北京報道。

在南部城市深圳,中國國家媒體稱上千人走上街頭。有的游行者怒不可解,推翻了日本產的警車。在全中國,這些游行顯然得到當局的支持。而在過去,該國對日本的深仇大恨往往用來轉移批評。最近幾年來,由于該島富含天然氣儲備,又處于重要航道附近,因此其重要性也開始上升。

An oil pipeline has been blown up in southwestern Colombia. Local officials are blaming Colombia's largest rebel group the Farc for the attack. It happened near the city of Tumaco which has been without power for the past ten days.

哥倫比亞西南部一處石油管道爆炸。當地官方譴責哥倫比亞最大的叛軍組織Farc實施了襲擊,事件發(fā)生在圖馬科市附近,這里過去十天來一直斷電。

聯合國駐敘利亞觀察團的命令現已正式終止。觀察員被派遣來監(jiān)督?;鹎闆r,但至今沒有休戰(zhàn),而且暴力仍在上升。就在安理會同意在當地時間午夜終結這個任務后,觀察團就離開了敘利亞。同時,在大馬士革成立新的民事辦公室來進行可能促成和平的政治接觸。
