（单词翻译）

Burmese officials say democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi will be released from detention1 next month as scheduled. Her lawyers say she is yet to be told. And they remain skeptical2 that this will actually happen. The Nobel Peace laureate won the country's last general election in 1990, but spent of course most the last (next口误) two decades in detention after a military coup3.

The first week of the new Federal Parliament is over, but not without some teething problems. Speaker Harry4 Jenkins is frustrated5 with aspects of the new rules governing Question Time. And many MPs are still finding their feet.

A teenage boy is in a serious condition (after口误) in hospital after an overnight shooting in Adelaide. The 17-year-old was shot in the neck at a tattoo6 parlour in the city centre. Police are still investigating that matter.

And a state of emergency has been declared in Ecuador. Troops have taken over the main airport and there's been unrest in several towns. Police and the army have been protesting against government plans to cut their pay.

And the US Middle East envoy7 is no closer to securing further direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. George Mitchell's meeting yesterday with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas ended inconclusively. Mr Abbas has threatened to pull out of the talks if an Israeli freeze on settlement building isn't extended.
