美国与阿富汗进行了最后接触，以草拟一项关于两国未来关系的战略协议，此前两国计划在2014年结束美国的作战计划。Jonathan Blake在华盛顿报道。

This agreement comes after months of talks between the US and Afghanistan on the future of the two countries' relationship. The main stumbling blocks were night raids by US forces and Afghan civilians being held in US-run prisons. Both two issues were dealt with in separate agreements. No detail of this pact has been released, but it will establish guidelines for any US military presence in Afghanistan after 2014 and the extent of financial support that the country will receive.

草拟这项协议之前，美国和阿富汗已就两国未来的关系进行了数月对话。主要的障碍是美军夜袭和阿富汗平民被关押在美国监狱。这两件事以不同的协议来解决，目前尚无关于协议的细节透露，但这会制定一些方针，指导2014年后美国在阿富汗的军事部署，并决定阿富汗将受到的财政援助的程度。

Tens of thousands of people have attended a prayer rally in Moscow in support of the Russian Orthodox Church amid anger at a political protest by a punk rock band. The all-female group Pussy Riot burst into a Moscow cathedral in February to perform a song criticising the Church's close ties with the Kremlin. The women are in jail, facing trial for hooliganism.

莫斯科成千上万民众参加了一场祈祷集会，支持俄罗斯东正教，并对一支庞客摇滚乐队的政治抗议表示愤怒。二月份，名为Pussy Riot的全女子乐队冲进莫斯科一座教堂，并进行音乐表演以批评教堂与克里姆林宫的关联。这些女子目前都在监禁中，将因恣意闹事罪接受审判。
