BBC News with Marion Marshall

The American congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, who was shot in the head while meeting voters almost two weeks ago, has left hospital in Arizona to go to a rehabilitation¹ centre in Texas. The shooting, in which Ms Giffords was injured and six others were killed, led to concerns about the harsh political debate in the United States. Some people said it had contributed to the incident. Rajesh Mirchandani reports.

大约两周前与选民会面时头部中枪的美国女议员吉佛兹(Gabrielle Giffords)离开亚利桑那州的医院，前往得克萨斯州的康复中心。那次枪击事件造成吉佛兹和其他六人受伤，引发了美国对激烈的政治辩论的担忧。一些人表示，导致这次枪击事件的就是政治辩论。Rajesh Mirchandani报道。

People lined the streets as a motorcade ferried congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords from the hospital in Tucson to a military airbase. Her ambulance was escorted by a group of army veteran motorcycle riders. Ms Giffords had previously² ridden with them. She'll be flown to a renowned³ rehabilitation centre in Houston, Texas, but doctors warn she'll need weeks, if not months, of treatment, and it's still too early to say what long-term damage there might be.

车队护送吉佛兹从图桑市的医院前往一个空军基地时，许多人列道两旁。她的救护车由一些退伍军人组成的车手护卫着。吉佛兹此前曾经和他们一起驾过车。她将搭乘飞机前往得克萨斯州休斯敦一个知名的康复中心，但是医生警告称，她至少需要几周时间的治疗，而且现在仍然难以确定这次枪击对她造成的长期危害。

Several policemen and civilians⁵ have also been injured in the violence, which began in the early afternoon when supporters of the opposition⁶ Socialist⁷ Party gathered outside the prime minister's office. They hurled⁸ stones and set cars alight before the police used tear gas and water cannons⁹. The protesters are calling for the resignation of the government, which they believe stole the last election and is mired¹⁰ in corruption¹¹. Several street demonstrations¹² have taken place in the Albanian capital since the 2009 disputed election, but this is the only one which has descended¹³ into such chaotic¹⁴ scenes.

暴力于下午早些时候开始，反对派社会党的支持者聚集在总理办公室外，几名警察和平民也在这次暴力事件中受伤。抗议者投掷石块，点燃汽车。后来，警方向他们施放了催泪弹和水弹。抗议者要求现任政府辞职，他们相信本届政府窃取了上次选举的结果，而且腐败现象严重。自2009年有争议的选举以来，阿尔巴尼亚首都已经爆发了几次示威活动，但是只有这次演变成如此混乱的景象。

A spokesman for UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo says the Congolese army has arrested an officer accused of leading the mass rape¹⁵ of 50 women on New Year's Day. Lt Col Kibibi Mutware is being held in connection with the rapes¹⁶ in the eastern town of Fizi. Col Kibibi has dismissed all allegations against him. From Kinshasa, Thomas Uebel reports.

联合国驻刚果民主共和国维和部队发言人表示，刚果军队逮捕了被指控在新年当天强奸了50名妇女的行凶者的头目。Lt Col Kibibi Mutware因为与东部菲济市的大规模强奸事件有关而被拘留。Col Kibibi否认了对他的所有指控。金沙萨，Thomas Uebel报道。

The head of Fizi's municipal administration confirmed that he had seen Kibibi being handcuffed and driven away on Friday, along with around 10 other soldiers arrested in connection with the violence on New Year's Day. Military and humanitarian¹⁷ sources said the events over the New Year period began when a mob lynched a soldier who had shot a civilian⁴. A group of soldiers then took revenge on the people of Fizi. The UN's humanitarian coordination¹⁸ office said the soldiers stabbed 26 people, including a four-year-old child, looted more than 20 homes and shops and raped¹⁹ dozens of women.

菲济市政府负责人证实，周五他看到Col Kibibi戴着手铐被带走。此外还有其他10名与该事件有关的士兵被带走。军队和人道主义消息来源称，发生在新年期间的这次事件起因于一伙暴徒对枪杀了平民的士兵动用私刑。随后，一群士兵对菲济的民众采取了报复行动。联合国人道主义协调办公室表示，这些士兵刺伤了26人，包括一名四岁的儿童，袭击了20多家住户和商店，强奸了数十名女子。

The Costa Rican president has accused Nicaragua of spending money on irresponsible military adventures abroad, despite being one of the poorest countries in Latin America. President Laura Chinchilla Miranda told the BBC Nicaragua should concentrate on improving the lives of its citizens instead of occupying Costa Rican territory.
