On the closing day of the month-long trial, the man known as Carlos took his own defence, delivering a four-hour speech, in which he described himself not as a terrorist but a revolutionary. Yes, his organisation had killed hundreds of people, he said, but not the 11 who died in the four bomb attacks in France in 1982 and 1983. The prosecution's case has always been that Carlos carried out the attacks in order to blackmail the French government into releasing two of his accomplices. But no fresh evidence was produced by Carlos to disapprove the charge, so it is no surprise the court upheld the original conviction.

在长达一个月的审判的最后一天，该男子卡洛斯为自己辩护，他发表了四个小时的演讲，他形容自己并不是恐怖分子，而是一个革命者。他说，他的组织的确已造成数百人死亡，但在1982年和1983年法国的四个炸弹袭击中死亡的11人和他并没有关系。控方一直称卡洛斯制造这些袭击是为了用此来要挟法国政府释放他的两名同伙。但卡洛斯并没有提供新的证据来反驳这一指控，因此法庭维持原判也在不足为奇。

Police in the United States have charged the American football player Aaron Hernandez with murder. Hernandez was a rising star player with the New England Patriots. His arrest follows the discovery of the body of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old semi-professional footballer. He had been shot near Hernandez‘s home in Attleborough in Massachusetts.
