TEXT:A gunman in a gas mask and body armor kills at least 12 people at a midnight premiere of the new "Batman" movie in a Denver suburb early Friday morning. Police identified 24-year-old James Eagan Holmes as the suspect. Holmes is a University of Colorado medical school student who was in the process of dropping out of a graduate program in neurosciences. Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper said the event should not take away anyone's liberty. COLORADO GOVERNOR, JOHN HICKENLOOPER, SAYING: "This is the act apparently of a very deranged mind. This is a safe city, a safe state, and a safe country. We have to recognize that we can't allow people that are aberrations of nature to take away the joys and freedoms that we enjoy." Aurora police chief Dan Oates says they are still trying to sort through the aftermath. AURORA POLICE CHIEF, DAN OATES, SAYING: "Our best available count on injuries as of right now is that 71 people were shot and that 12 are deceased, two died in area hospitals and 10 are deceased in the crime scene at this time and we are making best efforts to identify and remove those 10." In Washington, DC the flags have been lowered to half mast. Earlier U.S. president Barack Obama called on all Americans to keep the people of Aurora in their hearts and minds.

4【U.N. extends monitoring mission in Syria】联合国加强对叙监控
TEXT:The U.N. Security Council voted unanimously Friday to extend its monitoring mission in Syria for 30 days. Russia along with China vetoed an earlier resolution which would have opened the door to sanctions on the government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Russia dropped its objections after the proposal was broadened to require both government forces and rebel fighters to take steps to halt the violence. VITALY CHURKIN, RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR, SAYING: "We are very pleased with the outcome of our work on this resolution. It is a balanced resolution. Its requirements are addressed to all sides in Syria." Both the United States and Britain described the new resolution as a last chance for the observers. MARK LYALL GRANT, BRITISH AMBASSADOR TO THE UNITED NATIONS, SAYING: " We believe that it is the right thing to do to give a final chance for that mission to be able to fulfill its function, but we have said clearly that it is a final extension unless there is a chance in the dynamic on the ground." Most of the UN monitoring activity was suspended on June 16 due to increased risk from rising violence. Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters.

【Post-Ceasefire, No Signs of Peace in Burma's Kachin】
TEXT:People who fled their homes for this temporary camp in Burma's Kachin state are bracing for the monsoon season, worrying about food shortages.
Despite an increase in foreign aid flowing into Burma's capital, Kachin groups say little assistance is reaching the conflict zone.
May Li Aung heads Wun Pawng Ninghto, an umbrella group of eight local aid agencies. "All of the international community and funding agencies want to help inside of Burma," she explained. "But this is non-government-controlled area and they are also afraid to come here."
Although some supplies have been allowed into KIO-controlled areas, that is not the case in refugee camps on the Chinese side of the border.
A recent Human Rights Watch report criticized China for a lack of assistance to the refugees in Yunnan and called on authorities to give aid workers access.
Mui Hpu Kaw cares for seven grandchildren, while her four sons fight for the Kachin Independence Army on the Burmese side of the border. She says the uncertain future is almost unbearable. "I only wait to hear the words, 'Let's go home, the fighting's stopped now'. Every time I see someone come to visit the camp, I'm hoping they will say we can go home now," she said. "I pray that I won't die here.”
Many observers are skeptical of a resolution anytime soon.
Former activist Tun Kyaw Nyein, the son of former deputy Prime Minister U Kyaw Nyein, is now a member of the independent, pro-democracy Burma Strategy Group. He says even Aung San Suu Kyi is treading carefully on the conflict. “I understand fully why she is careful in the way she brings up the topics and addresses the issues because there is also the risk of appearing to favor one side or the other when things are so precarious," he stated. "It is going to take some time and its going to take all parties including Aung San Su Kyi and U Thein Sein and the Kachin leaders to overcome this long-standing mistrust.”
In the meantime, the displaced Kachin population waits in these growing camps for a resolution to the conflict that drags on -- despite the dramatic changes happening in other parts of the country.

【Conflicts Keep Millions of Children Out of School】
TEXT:This is the VOA Special English Education Report.Conflicts around the world are keeping tens of millions of young people from going to school. Many have physical or emotional injuries that make it hard or even impossible for them to learn.
Later this year UNESCO will release its twenty-twelve "Education for All Global Monitoring Report." UNESCO is the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. The yearly publication is part of a global campaign to provide primary education to all children within the next three years.
The report documents the situation in countries that have made the least progress toward the Millennium Development Goals. These goals require universal primary education and equality for boys and girls in schooling by twenty-fifteen.
Pauline Rose is the director of the report.
PAULINE ROSE: "In those thirty-five conflict-affected countries, we find twenty-eight million children out of school. In some countries, it's just that schools are not even accessible in conflict zones. The teachers aren't there. The schools are sometimes even attacked."
The Geneva Conventions bar the targeting of public places like schools and hospitals. In some cases, schools are targeted because they represent the government. Pauline Rose says in other cases, schools are targeted for religious or political reasons.
PAULINE ROSE: "So in Afghanistan, given that the idea of girls going to school has been part of the concern of some militant groups, that has been a cause for their direct attack on girls schools. In other parts of the world, it might be more that schools are caught in the crossfire."
Conflicts also put girls and boys at risk of sexual violence. Schoolchildren are also at risk of being forced to become soldiers.
Under international law, refugees are the only displaced people with a guaranteed right to education. But that guarantee often means little. Schools in refugee camps often have limited money for teachers or supplies.
Last year, Pauline Rose visited the Dadaab camps in northern Kenya. Those camps shelter more than two hundred fifty thousand refugees from Somalia.
PAULINE ROSE: "So you have half of children without any access to school. You have sort of classes of over three hundred children, and I mean just the conditions getting worse and worse."
What if conflict states in sub-Saharan Africa moved just ten percent of their military spending to education? UNESCO says they could educate more than one-fourth of their out-of-school population. And in Pakistan, it says twenty percent of the military budget could provide primary education for all children.
But experts say one country has been a real success story. For years, Botswana has used its wealth from diamond exports to finance universal primary education and to create a skills base for its growing economy.
And that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Jim Tedder.
