Pro-Russian separatists in the eastern Ukrainian city of Sloviansk have released one of the eight members of an international observer mission, they've been holding since Friday. Five Ukrainian observers are also being held. Bethany Bell reports. “The Swedish military observer who's believed to be diabetic was seen driving away in an OSCE car, but the rest of the team remains in detention, intensive diplomacy continues to secure their release. Earlier the military monitors were shown to the media in Sloviansk. One of them, a German Colonel Axel Schneider, said his team was on a diplomatic mission and was unarmed. The OSCE has a large observe team in Ukraine, which was agreed to by Russia, but these monitors are not part of that, they are from individual OSCE countries invited to Ukraine by the government in Kiev.”

The group, some of the last remaining Muslims in the city, left with their belongings in 18 lorries. They've been trapped for months by Christian militias as communal violence raged. This Muslim man said they had no option but to leave. “With what the anti-Balaka are doing, they have killed a lot of Muslims. We can't stay in Central African Republic. We will leave to save ourselves, to save our skin, we'll go to Sido, Bongoro, Kabo.” As soon as they left, their neighborhood was ransacked.

他們剛離開，他們的鄰居就被洗劫一空。

The two remaining candidates in the presidential election in Afghanistan, both insist they would contest a second round. Preliminary results released on Saturday give the former Foreign Minister, Abdullah Abdullah the most votes, but not enough to win outright. From Kabul, David Loyn. “Both Abdullah Abdullah and his closest rival, the ex-World Bank economist Ashraf Ghani held the events that felt like campaign launches for the next round. Dr. Adbullah is well ahead, winning almost 45% of the vote cast. There’s been considerable speculation here that they will make a deal instead of fighting again. I put the question to Dr. Ghani: “Are there any circumstances that you would negotiate with Dr. Abdullah to avoid a second round?” “No, it is imperative that the next President of Afghanistan have a clear mandate.” Dr. Abdullah is less emphatic, he is watching and waiting to see how fraud complaints change the count and contemptuous of the clear stance taken by his opponent.”

阿卜杜拉?阿卜杜拉和勁敵—前世界銀行經(jīng)濟學家阿什拉夫?加尼舉行了感覺像是第二輪競選的活動。阿卜杜拉領先，獲得45%的支持率，人們紛紛猜測兩人會達成協(xié)議，而不是再次角逐。我這么問了加尼先生：
有沒有這樣的可能：你會和阿卜杜拉先生協(xié)商避免第二輪角逐？
沒有，重要的是阿富汗下一任總統(tǒng)要有明確的授權。
阿卜杜拉沒有這么明確表示，他在觀察事態(tài)，看看欺詐投訴將如何扭轉(zhuǎn)局面，他對對手明確的立場表示不屑。
