承认去年在挪威实施大屠杀的男子已以恐怖行为和预谋谋杀罪被正式指控。Anders Behring Breivik是一名右翼极端分子,他将于下月受审。去年7月,他用机枪扫射杀死69人,并用炸弹袭击杀死了另外8人。挪威国家公诉人Svein Holden说不大可能会释放Breivik。
"The defendant has committed very serious crimes of a dimension with no previous experience of in our society in modern times. In his opinion, his actions were justified. And it is likely that he would commit crimes of a similar nature again."
“被告犯下的罪行很严重,我国近代史上尚无如此严重的先例。他本人认为自己的行为正当,所以他可能还会犯类似的罪行。”
An international group of scientists has established the complete genetic blueprint of the gorilla, one of mankind's closest relatives. The researchers found that 15% of the human genome is closer to that of gorillas than it is to chimpanzees - our closest relative of all. Our science correspondent Pallab Ghosh has more.
一支国际科学家团队完成大猩猩全部基因图谱,大猩猩是与人类血缘最近的动物之一。研究者发现,有15%的人类基因组序列更接近大猩猩基因组序列而非跟人类血缘最近的黑猩猩。BBC科学记者Pallab Ghosh报道。
Initial studies of the gorilla genome have shown that our species separated from gorillas 10 million years ago, much earlier than some scientists thought. Another discovery is that something in their genes prevents gorillas from suffering from dementia - a finding that researchers could study further to help them find a cure for senility. But the ultimate prize for the research community is to discover just what it is that makes us uniquely human.
