Colonel Muammar Gaddafi of Libya has called on his supporters to go out onto the streets and attack what he called the “cockroaches” demonstrating against his rule. Speaking on state television, he urged loyal Libyans to chase the anti-government protestors, arrest them and hand them over to security forces.

“(er) Would you like America to come and occupy you like Afghanistan and Somalia, like Pakistan and Iraq? Is that what you want? If that’s what you want…If you don’t, go out to the street. Take to the street. Chase them. Disarm them.”

Colonel Gaddafi said anyone who took up arms against Libya would be executed.

“The death penalty will beapplied toall those who cooperate with foreign states, or anybody who works in their interests, and anybody who harms the defence of the country.”

Colonel Gaddafi also said that he could not leave his country and would die amartyrat the end.

Shortly after Colonel Gaddafi ended his speech, a BBC correspondent in Tripoli heard the sound of guns being fired, apparently into the air. She said fireworks were alsoset offand cars drove through the city at high speed, their horns blaring. Earlier in the day, Tripoli was reported to be tense, with almost empty streetsenlivened only by lines of people queuing for bread and petrol.

The United Nations Security Council is holding emergency talks on the crisis and is expected to issue a statement. Libya’s deputy ambassador said that he wanted it to declare a no-fly zone over the capital Tripoli to prevent air attacks on demonstrators. However, the ambassadordisassociated himself from this deputy’s remarks and denied that warplanes had been used.

The Algerian government has adopted an order to lift the state of emergency that’s been in place for 19 years. The state news agency said the move would officially come into force when it was published in the government gazette. With more details, here’s Chloe Arnold from Algiers.

The state of emergency was imposed in 1992, at the start of two decades of bloodshed in which security forces fought Islamist rebels. The violence left as many as a quarter of a million people dead. Observers say the government appears to be lifting the state of emergency as aconcessionto opposition parties and human rights activists who’ve been staging marches calling for democracy and greater freedoms.Inspired by popular revolts across the Arab world, they say they’ll rally every Saturday in the capital until there’s been a change in the regime.

Tens of thousands of people have marched through the capital of Bahrain in one of the biggest protests yet in the campaign for greater democracy in the Gulf kingdom. Demonstrators carrying Bahrain’s red and white flag called for the downfall of the government as they made their way towards Pearl Square. Earlier, King Hamad ordered the release of anunspecifiednumber of prisoners. Freeing political detainees is a key opposition demand.

The US Navy said that the crew of one of its warships was negotiating with the pirates when shootingbroke outaboard the captured yacht, the Quest. Vice Admiral Mark Fox is the commander of the US Navy’s Fifth Fleet.

“Gunfire erupted inside the cabin of the Quest. Several pirates appeared on deck and moved up to the bow with their hands in the air in surrender.

利比亚领袖卡扎菲上校(Muammar Gaddafi)呼吁他的支持者走向街头，袭击他所说的反对他执政的“蟑螂”。在国家电视台发表讲话时，他敦促忠诚的利比亚人追赶反政府抗议者，将他们逮捕并移交给安全力量。

“你希望美国来到这里，像占领阿富汗和索马里，占领巴基斯坦和伊拉克那样占领我们的领土吗？那是你们想要的吗？如果你们希望这样……如果你们不希望这样的结果，那么，请走上街头，追赶他们，抓捕他们。”

卡扎菲上校表示，在利比亚起义的任何人都将被处决。

“死刑的判决适用于所有与外国合作的人，适用于所有为了外国的利益而工作的人，适用于所有危害国防的人。”

卡扎菲上校表示，他不会离开利比亚，最终宁肯壮烈牺牲。

卡扎菲上校发表讲话后不久，BBC驻的黎波里一名记者听到枪声，很明显是对空射击。她说，也有人燃放烟花，许多汽车鸣笛高速驶过整个城市。据报道，当天早些时候，的黎波里弥漫着紧张的气氛，街道上空空如也，只有排队等候面包和石油的人们。

联合国安理会正在针对这次危机召开紧急会议，预期即将发表声明。利比亚驻联合国代理大使表示，他希望联合国宣布首都的黎波里为禁飞区，以防止安全力量对示威者发动空袭。然而，大使却与他的副手的言论划清界限，否认曾经动用战斗机。

阿尔及利亚政府下令撤销已经实施了19年的紧急状态。国家新闻机构表示，政府公告上发表了该消息之后，此举将正式生效。Chloe Arnold在阿尔及尔报道更详细内容。

1992年，安全力量和伊斯兰叛军之间长达20年的血腥战争刚刚开始，阿尔及利亚实施了紧急状态。这场暴力造成接近25万人死亡。观察员表示，政府取消紧急状态似乎是作为向反对党派和人权积极分子作出的让步。他们发动了示威游行，呼吁民主和更大限度的自由。受席卷阿拉伯世界的反叛活动的激励，他们表示，他们每周六都将在首都举行集会，直到整体有所改变。

巴林首都数万人走向街头举行游行，这是这个海湾国家要求更大限度的民主的最大规模的抗议活动。示威者手持巴林红白相间的国旗向珍珠广场行进，要求现任政府下台。此前，国王下令释放数目不详的囚犯。释放政治犯是反对派的主要要求之一。

被索马里海盗劫持的一艘游艇上的四名美国人被杀害。美国海军表示，他们的战船船员正在与海盗谈判的时候，被劫持的游艇Quest号上突然开枪。福克斯中将(Vice Adm. Mark Fox)是美国海军第五舰队的指挥官。

“Quest号的船舱里突然爆发枪声。随后，几名海盗出现在甲板上，双手举到头顶头像。美国海军反应部队接近Quest号，登上游艇。他们对枪击作出回应，登上Quest号之后，美国士兵发现所有四名人质都已经被杀害。”

美国海军表示，他们击毙了两名海盗，发现游艇上另外两人也已经死亡。其他海盗全部被抓获。

新西兰城市克赖斯特彻奇遭遇强震袭击，搜救工作仍在继续，试图寻找可能被埋在废墟下的几十人。民防部表示，目前为止已经证实32人死亡。最初，政府公布的死亡数字为65人。民防部表示，他们后来发现仍有11人幸存。新西兰总理约翰·基(John Key)称克赖斯特彻奇中心完全是一片“荒废的景象”。

缅甸一名7岁的婴儿被发现感染了小儿麻痹症病毒，随后，政府计划发起大规模的小儿麻痹症疫苗接种活动。这是三年来缅甸发现的首个病例。

Vivien Marsh报道。

缅甸即将宣布没有小儿麻痹症疫情。小儿麻痹症是一种传染性非常高的疾病，会导致瘫痪，主要通过污染了的水和食物传播。四年前，缅甸政府为接近700名儿童接种。自20多年前发起根除小儿麻痹症的活动以来，全世界小儿麻痹症患者减少了99%。来自世界卫生组织的一个工作小组已经抵达缅甸，制定防治小儿麻痹症再次传播的可行性计划。Viv Marsh报道。
