Sudan says a huge fire that engulfed in arms factory in the capital Khartoum on Tuesday night was caused by an air attack and it accused Israel of being responsible. The Sudanese information minister said four aircrafts flown in to attack the Yarmouk plant. Our defense correspondent Jonathan Marcus reports.
The aircrafts approached the factory from the east, the Sudanese information minister Ahmed Belal Osman told the reporters in Khartoum, blaming the attack on Israeli air force. Israeli officials have refused any comment. Israel is widely believed to be responsible for similarly mysteriously air attacks against two arms convoys in northeastern Sudan back in early 2009. The argument then boasted by leaked U.S. diplomatic cables was that these were secret weapon shipments from Iran destine for Hamas in the Gaza strip.
The international envoy to Syria Lakhdar Brahimi says the Syrian government and some rebel groups have agreed to a truce to cover the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. The surprised announcement raises hopes of breakthrough in the 19 months old conflict. Barbara Plett reports from New York.
Diplomats who attended a closed Security Council briefing said Mr. Brahimi acknowledged there was not trust between the government and opposition so no guarantee that the short cease fire would be effective. But he said he hoped a small step could improve humanitarian access and create political space for dialogue. Mr. Brahimi told the council that the government had accepted the truce although a final announcement would be made on Thursday. But the Syrian authorities say they are still studying the proposal. Key rebel brigades say they will only observe it if the army does. And Islamist militants have rejected it.
Scientists in the United States have successfully created human embryos containing genetic information from two women and a man. They said the technique could help women with serious genetic disorders to have healthy children. The technique involves transferring energy produce in cell parts from a healthy female donor during in vitro fertilization of the egg. Professor Robin Lovell-Badge, the national institute for medical research in London, said the results were encouraging.
It was done with a reasonable efficiency and they caught the embryos they have obtained. At the end of it, and it seems to be good, then more tests need to be done, and ideally the whole process needs to be repeated preferably by a different lab but it is looking good.
The researchers say the procedure raises its ethical and scientific concerns and it will take several years before it is proved for general use.

實驗很有效果，他們得到了這種胚胎。結(jié)果表明很不錯，不過還要進(jìn)行大量的測試，從理論上說，需要由其他實驗室反復(fù)進(jìn)行整個過程，但目前看起來結(jié)果不錯。
研究者稱這引發(fā)人們對道德和科學(xué)上的擔(dān)憂，還需要數(shù)年時間才能得到普遍應(yīng)用。
