Britain has summoned the Israeli ambassador to the Foreign Office to discuss the use of fake British passports by the alleged1 assassins of a senior Palestinian official Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai last month. Many of the hit squad2 members carried forge passports of people who had emigrated from Europe to Israel. Earlier, the Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said there was no proof that the Israeli secret service Mossad killed the Hamas leader. Katya Adler reports from Jerusalem.
The murder mystery of the Hamas commander killed in his Dubai hotel room may never be sought publicly. Mossad, Israel's Intelligence Agency is the prime suspect for now, but Israel's Foreign Minister says the killing3 could have been masterminded by anyone. Referring to the fraudulent British passport used in the murder, Mr.Lieberman said he was confident Britain knew Israeli security procedures followed what he called clear, cautious and responsible rules. But the British-Israeli whose identities were stolen for the Dubai killing, say they are angry and scared.
The United States Federal Reserve has predicted that the American economy will grow more strongly than anticipated this year. The US Central Bank also predicted that the unemployment rate would still be at least 9.5% in 2010. Correspondents say the growth forecast indicates that President Obama's 800 billion dollars stimulus4 package has been successful. Caroline Hepker is in New York.
America's economy is expected to grow by 3.2% this year, according to the minutes from January's gathering5 of the Federal Reserves open markets committee. That is more than the 3% predicted at the previous meeting back in November. Meanwhile, the Feds see inflation remain in 10. The slightly rosier6 outlook for the world's largest economy, though, is coupled with only a slow recovery in unemployment in 2010 and 2011, before returning to low levels in 2012.
The French President Nicolas Sarkozy has promised 370 million dollars to help Haiti recover from last month's devastating7 earthquake. He made his pledge at the start of the first-ever visit by a French President to the Caribbean State, a colony of France until 1804. President Sarkozy said the people of Haiti should be the ones directing the reconstruction8 of the country.
International aid must be massive, should be long-term. But it's up to the Haitians alone to draw up a real national plan and then to lead it. Because it is their country and their future stake. The role of the international community and France is to help Haitians regain9 control of their destiny.
Some news just in the Haitian attorney has said 8 of the 10 American missionaries10 charged with kidnapping children in the aftermath of last month's earthquake will be released. Reports say they are expected to leave the country later today.

The Deputy Foreign Minister Victorio Tacetti said Argentina will take adequate measures to stop oil exploration off the Falklands, but will use peaceful means such as dialogue through international organizations.
Twelve French wine producers and traders have been found guilty of fraud after selling millions of bottles of fake Pinot Noir, the American Wine Giant E&J Gallo. A French court ruled that they had deliberately13 mislabelled 18 millions of bottles of ordinary wine with a more expensive variety of grape in order to get a better price. Emma Jane Kirby reports from Paris.
Eighteen million bottles of ordinary wine was packaged down to the popular Red Bicyclette Pinot Noir title. A single grape wine that's hugely popular in the United States. The scam saw the French producers and traders more than doubling their profits. The judge handed the most prominent wine trader a six month suspended jail sentence and ordered all the defendants14 to pay hefty fines with one firm having to pay 245,000 dollars.

美联储表示，美国今年的经济增长要好于预期。美国中央银行还预测，2010年，美国的失业率仍将保持在至少9.5%。记者表示，经济增长预测表明奥巴马总统8,000亿美元刺激经济计划已经成功。Caroline Hepker在纽约报道。

国际援助必须是巨大的，长期的。但是真正的全国重建计划只能取决与海地人民，必须由他们来指导。因为这是他们自己的国家，是他们未来的筹码。国际社会和法国的作用仅仅是帮助海地人民重新掌握自己的命运。

12名法国葡萄酒制造商和经销商因出售了数百万瓶假冒黑比诺葡萄酒而被定罪，这种葡萄酒品牌属于美国嘉露酒厂(E&J Gallo)。法国法院裁决，为了以更高的价格出售，他们故意将1800万瓶普通葡萄酒贴上更昂贵的品牌标签。Emma Jane Kirby从巴黎发回报道。
1800万瓶普通葡萄酒被贴上了更受欢迎的红碧玺雷特牌黑比诺葡萄酒的标签。这种葡萄酒在美国非常畅销。这些法国酿酒商和经销商由此获得了加倍的利润。法官判决为首的经销商6个月的监禁，缓期执行。并要求所有被告支付高额罚款，其中一家公司将支付245,000美元。
