Indigenous protesters in the Bolivian Amazon have
broken through
a police blockade to continue a long-distance march on the main city La Paz. The protesters are reported to have forced their way through police lines by taking hostage the Bolivian foreign minister, who'd come to negotiate with them.

The forces of the Libyan National Transitional Council, the NTC, have entered one of the two remaining strongholds held by pro-Gaddafi forces, the city of Sirte. It's unclear how many Gaddafi loyalists are still holding out there. The BBC's Alastair Leithead has been following NTC forces advancing from the east.
利比亚全国过渡委员会力量进入亲卡扎菲力量剩余的两座堡垒之一,苏尔特城。目前不清楚这里还有多少卡扎菲的忠实者。BBC记者Alastair Leithead跟随NTC力量一起从东部向前推进。
From the east of Sirte, the advance today has been swift. After days of stalemate, the east gate fell, and the National Transitional Council troops have already pushed far along the road towards the city centre. There has been some return of fire, some injured, but the momentum is carrying them forward. From the west, reports of fighting in the streets inside the city itself. This is Colonel Gaddafi's birthplace, his hometown. It's always been a hugely symbolic target for the NTC, and it seems close to being won.
