Russia has surprised Western nations at the United Nations in New York by circulating its own draft UN resolution aimed at resolving the crisis in Syria. Western countries have spent months trying to get their own resolution. From the UN, here's Barbara Plett.

Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said there was strong concern in the council about the deepening crisis in Syria, and the draft Russian resolution was aimed at trying to end the conflict. His intervention took Western nations by surprise. They've been trying to get the Security Council to act for months, but their attempts faced a Russian veto.

World News from the BBC

The President of Guatemala, Alvaro Colom, has apologised to the relatives of the victims of a massacre committed 30 years ago during the civil war. He said the massacre, in which Guatemalan soldiers killed hundreds of people in the village of Dos Erres, was a stain on Guatemala's history. It wasn't until earlier this year that four former soldiers were sentenced to life in prison for the crime.

Police in Mexico say they've found three bodies at the offices of a student association in the western city of Guadalajara. Prosecutors say they are trying to establish if the three victims were among a group of five people who went missing on Wednesday after a dispute with officials from the student association.

The British Ministry of Defence has announced that 13,500 military personnel willcontribute tosecurity during next year's Olympic Games in London. The deployment will be larger than Britain's military force currently based in Afghanistan. Our security correspondent Gordon Corera reports.

The South African police say they've opened a case against two international media companies - Reuters and the Associated Press - for allegedly filming Nelson Mandela's residence. Colonel Vishnu Naidoo told the BBC that it was illegal to film or photograph presidential homes.

He said the cameras had now been removed from their location in the village in Eastern Cape where Mr Mandela lives. A spokesman for Associated Press denied spying on the former president.

俄罗斯宣布自己制定的有关解决叙利亚危机的联合国决议草案，这令西方国家吃了一惊。为确定自己的解决方案，西方国家已花费数月时间。Barbara Plett在联合国报道。

Russia's UN ambassador Vitaly Churkin said there was strong concern in the council about the deepening crisis in Syria, and the draft Russian resolution was aimed at trying to end the conflict.

俄罗斯驻联合国大使Vitaly Churkin称委员会对叙利亚日益加深的危机非常担忧，俄罗斯制定的草案目的在于结束这场危机。他的干预举动令西方国家颇为吃惊，数月来它们都在找到解决办法，俄罗斯对它们的尝试表示否决。欧洲外交官们表示将就草案进行协商，但目前的草案并没有反映出叙利亚人权状况的严重性。它们还称，草案将当局和反对派同等看待，认为叙利亚政府必须对暴力活动承担主要责任。

法国银行行长Christian Noyer批评一家国际金融评级公司，称其论点是政治性的而非经济性。一家评级机构曾威胁要降低法国的评级，Noyer称这是不公正的。他说，如果考虑到经济基础条件，英国是第一个应被降级的，因为与法国相比，英国的赤字更多，通胀更严重，债务相当，发展更缓慢。

经过长期审判，法国前总统雅克·希拉克已被确认有腐败罪。他被判定任巴黎市长期间侵吞财产，并犯有为其所属党派成员制造虚假岗位的背信罪。他被判处缓刑两年，他是战时犯下通敌罪的领导人贝当元帅之后首位有罪的法国领导人。Hugh Schofield报道。

希拉克的律师称，前总统断然否定有罪判决。然而，但他没有一直坚持反对，因此决定不上诉。律师说，至少令希拉克感到高兴的是，法庭发现他侵吞财产并不是为了饱私囊。这起指控要追溯到20年前，当时希拉克是巴黎有权力的市长，他管理的系统的市政资金被用来给他所属政党成员发薪水了。
