男孩悬挂四楼阳台获救
Frantic residents outside a home in Nanyang, China. Above them, a five-year-old boy dangles dangerously from the window - his head the only thing keeping him from a four-storey drop. Rescuers and neighbours set up a bed sheet to try to catch the boy as another team of firefighters broke down the apartment door. Finally, he is freed from the railings and brought to safety. The boy told China's state TV that he climbed up the window cage to look for his mother, who had locked him inside the house alone.
中国南阳一栋公寓外的居民非常慌张。在他们上方，一名五岁男孩危险地悬挂在窗户外面——只有头部卡在栏杆里，才使他没有从四楼摔下来。救援人员和邻居们铺开床单，想要接住这个男孩。由消防员组成的另一个营救小组打开了公寓门。最后，他终于脱离了栏杆，安全回到屋内。这个男孩告诉中国国家电视台，他爬上窗台是想找把他独自一人锁在家中的妈妈。

Amateur video out of Syria appears to show what rebel forces say is an attack on a government ammunition storage unit in Damascus. The video, which can not be independently verified shows multiple mortar strikes on the facility, in a largely rebel-held district of Damascus. More footage shows rebels in trenches in a relentless fight. For the past two months,President Bashar -al Assad's forces have been on the offensive after a string of victories. They are trying to cement control of a belt of territory between Damascus and his stronghold on the Mediterranean coast. The country's revolt began with peaceful protests more than two years ago, It has since descended into a civil war that activists say has killed more than 100,000 people.
来自叙利亚的业余视频显示，叙利亚叛军对大马士革一座政府弹药仓库发动了袭击。这段视频没有得到可靠的确认。画面显示，在大部分被叛军控制的大马士革地区，这座仓库遭遇多次迫击炮袭击。更多画面显示叛军在战壕中进行残酷的战斗。过去两个月，总统阿萨德的部队获得一系列胜利之后一直处于攻势。他们试图巩固对大马士革和地中海岸堡垒之间领土的控制。叙利亚的叛乱活动从两年多前的和平抗议开始。现在已经发展成为内战。活动积极分子称，这场战争已经造成100,000多人死亡。
