CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Hi. I`m Carl Azuz for CNN STUDENT NEWS.Welcome to Wednesday`s show.
As always, we`re jumping right into our first story today, headed to the Middle Eastern country of Syria. The nation has been turned apart by civil war since 2011.One group that`s benefitted from the instability there is ISIS. It`s a terrorist organization. ISIS is standing for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
That`s what they want, to create a country based on their own severe interpretation of Islam. They took over last parts of the region last year. They`re notorious for mass murders, brutally killing civilians, kidnapping people. And though a U.S.-led coalition aims to destroy ISIS, most experts say the coalition has a long way to go.
This spring, the terrorists took over an ancient city called Palmyra. It`s in Central Syria. It`s thousands of years old. Its architectural ruins date back to the First Century A.D., and ISIS is destroying them.
On Tuesday, ISIS supporters posted photos of how the group blew up part of an ancient temple. It`s part of ISIS campaign to destroy relics of non-Muslim culture, though they`ve reportedly leveled Islamic shrines as well.
FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Fighting ISIS is a slow and often quite a tricky thing to do and one of the reasons why the militant group has been so successful is that those combating it are often fractured and at odds with one another.
First of all, its core territory spans two countries. So, you have two governments. The Iraqi government and the Syrian government each with their own allies and enemies trying to deal with the problem.Then you have different interest among the groups leading the charge. On the one hand, you have the U.S. and its main European and Arab allies bombing ISIS both in Iraq and Syria.
Now, they got a major boost when Turkey joined the coalition. That`s not just because Turkish warplanes started bombing ISIS`s positions, but also because Turkey allowed the coalition to use the bases inside Turkey like the one in Incirlik.
Then you have the Syrians. Their air force has been notorious for allegedly causing a lot of civilian casualties while bombing opposition controlled areas. But the Syrian military has also conducted many air strikes against ISIS in places like Raqqa, but also in Palmyra, which was captured by the militant group.
The Syrian government`s main ally on the ground is Iran, which has been training pro-regime militias to fight ISIS and other groups.Iran has also been helping the Iraqi government organizing Shia militias there. Then you have both the Syrian and Iraqi Kurds who`ve made major gains against ISIS.
But many of these groups and countries simply have no trust in each other and that`s one of the reasons why it`s so difficult to start a concerted effort to beat back ISIS.

美国有线电视新闻网学生新闻主播：嗨。我是卡尔·阿祖兹，为你播报美国有线电视学生新闻。欢迎来到星期三的节目。
一如既往，首先我们关注中东国家叙利亚。自2011年以来这个国家就因内战而分裂。地区的不稳定主要因为ISSI（伊拉克和沙姆伊斯兰国）组织，这是一个在伊拉克和叙利亚拥护伊斯兰国的恐怖组织。
他们所想要的就是基于自身极端宗教信仰建立伊斯兰国。去年他们接管了该地区的残余地区。大规模的谋杀、残忍的杀害平民、绑架已使其臭名昭著。尽管美国领导的联盟旨在摧毁ISIS，但大部分专家表示联盟还有很长的路要走。
今年春天，恐怖分子占领了位于叙利亚中部的古城帕尔米拉。这座城市有几千年来的历史，其建筑遗迹可追溯到公元1世纪，ISIS正在摧毁它们。
周二，ISIS的支持者张贴了组织如何炸毁一个古老寺庙的照片。这是ISIS破坏非穆斯林文化遗产的一部分，据报道他们也夷平了伊斯兰圣地。
美国有线电视新闻网高级国际记者弗雷德里克弗雷德：对抗ISIS是一个缓慢而相当棘手的事情，其武装组织如此成功的一个原因是打击经常受挫，而且格格不入。
首先，它的核心领地横跨两国。所以，有两个政府。伊拉克政府和叙利亚政府各有自己的盟友和敌人来解决问题。然后，在领导的组织里存在不同的利害关系。一方面，美国和主要的欧洲国家以及阿拉伯盟友在伊拉克和叙利亚轰炸ISIS。
现在，土耳其加入联盟使其得以大大提升。不仅因为土耳其的战机开始轰炸ISIS，还包括土耳其允许联盟使用其内部基地，像印吉尔利克基地。
视线回到叙利亚。据称，叙利亚空军早已臭名昭著，因其在轰炸反对派控制区时造成大量平民伤亡。但叙利亚军方也对ISIS组织发动多次空袭，其中包括卡拉以及由激进组织占领的巴尔米拉。
伊朗是叙利亚政府的主要盟友，一直在训练亲政权军抗击ISIS以及其它组织。伊朗也一直帮助伊拉克政府组织什叶派武装。叙利亚和伊拉克的库尔德人在对抗ISIS上获得重大成果。但许多组织和国家都彼此不信任，这也是难以齐心击退ISIS的一个原因。
