Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister, delivered his stinging message with aprovisothat it was not a government proposal, rather a question he was asking as a passionate follower of football. Still, it illustrated his deep unease on a scandal which hastarnishedthe reputation of the game in Italy.

The Spanish company Repsol has announced it'spulling out ofCuba after failing in a recent attempt to find oil of the island. A spokesman said the company assessed the high costs and low success rate involved in offshore drilling and decided it wasn't worth continuing.

梵蒂冈正在经历的是班尼迪克教皇任职以来最大的丑闻，而且有可能成为当代最具破坏性的丑闻。官方报刊《圣座》和《罗马观察报》首次在对梵蒂冈第三号人物贝丘大主教的采访中报道了盗窃案。大主教说，发表这些信件是件非同一般严重的罪行。他说，这样有损梵蒂冈形象的事件在媒体间流传，他对此很伤心。

意大利北部发生的地震导致16人死亡，震中在摩德纳附近，与9天前类似地震的震中很近。工厂和一座库房被毁，员工被压在下面。几座教堂也受到损害，一位教堂神父在抢救圣母玛利亚一尊塑像时被倒下的横梁砸死。还有数百人受伤，其中一名妇女在自家厨房废墟中被埋12个小时以上，被拉出废墟后还活着。

缅甸反对派领导人昂山素季抵达邻国泰国，这是24年来她的首次外国旅行。她将在回国之前会见缅甸外来工人和商界领导人，下月将赴欧洲做长期旅行。因为害怕政府不许她回国，她一直拒绝离开缅甸直到现在。

意大利总理马里奥·蒙蒂表示，由于操纵比赛丑闻出现，应暂停意大利职业足球两三年时间。周一，意大利警方逮捕了被指控操纵比赛的14人。Alex Capstick报道。

Mario Monti, the Italian prime minister, delivered his stinging message with a proviso that it was not a government proposal, rather a question he was asking as a passionate follower of football. Still, it illustrated his deep unease on a scandal which has tarnished the reputation of the game in Italy. Around 50 people have been arrested as part of a widespread probe into match-fixing which began last year. The Lazio captain Stefano Mauri and the Juventus coach Antonio Conte have become the latest high-profile names to become embroiled in the investigation.

意大利总理马里奥·蒙蒂在发表这条严厉的信息时，附带说明，这不是政府的建议，而是他本人作为一名足球爱好者的建议。不过，这仍表明他对给意大利比赛声誉抹黑的丑闻的不安。自从去年进行全面的操纵比赛调查以来，已有50多人被捕。拉齐奥指挥斯蒂法诺·毛里和尤文图斯教练安东尼奥·孔蒂是涉入这次调查的最显眼的名字。

The Spanish company Repsol has announced it's pulling out of Cuba after failing in a recent attempt to find oil of the island. A spokesman said the company assessed the high costs and low success rate involved in offshore drilling and decided it wasn't worth continuing. Repsol is likely to be replaced by the Malaysian company Petronas. Cuba's Communist government is relying on potentially huge offshore oil and gas reserves to provide a much needed boost for the economy.
