1【Ahmadinejad: Iran does not need atomic bomb】艾哈迈迪内贾德：伊朗不需要原子弹
On a trip to Indonesia, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had this to say about his country's nuclear ambitions. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad saying (Farsi): "Americans know that the people of Iran are not after an atomic bomb and they don't have a need for an atomic bomb. Why would the people of Iran need an atomic bomb. The people of Iran have lived for seven thousand years without the need for a bomb. " He went on to say that in this day and age, bombs are "unnecessary." His remarks came as the Pentagon confirmed Tehran had fired on a U.S. Drone.
在前往印尼的路上，伊朗总统艾哈迈迪内贾德这样表述过伊朗的核目标。伊朗总统马哈茂德·艾哈迈迪·内贾德说(波斯语)：“美国人知道伊朗不会发展原子弹，伊朗人也不需要原子弹。为什么伊朗人民需要原子弹呢。七千年来，伊朗人民一直生活在不需要原子弹的国度。”他继续称，在这个时代炸弹是“不需要的”。这些话语是在五角大楼证实德黑兰曾向美国无人驾驶飞机开火后发表的。
U.S. Defense Department spokesman George Little saying: "November 1st at approximately 4:50 a.m. eastern daylight time, an unarmed, unmanned MT-1 U.S. military aircraft conducting routine surveillance over the Arabian Gulf, was intercepted by Iranian SU-25 Frogfoot aircraft (EDIT) Approximately 16 nautical miles off the Iranian coastline.
美国国防部发言人George Little说：“11月1日上午东部夏令时大约4:50，一架未武装的无人MT-1美国军用飞机在阿拉伯海湾执行常规监测时遭伊朗SU-25Frogfoot机拦截，大约距伊朗海岸线大约16海里。
The MT-1 was not hit and returned to base safely.Little says the U.S. has made clear to Tehran the U.S. will continue its surveillance missions, reiterating that the drone was in international air space.
MT-1没有被击中，随后安全返回基地。针对此事我们已经向相关国会成员做了基本反映。Little表示美国已经向德黑兰明确表示美国将继续监视任务，并重申无人机是在国际领空飞行。
2【Assad says he's not a 'puppet' of the West】阿萨德：我不是西方的傀儡
Syrian President Bashar al Assad says he isn't going anywhere. Nineteen months into an insurgency against him, the country is consumed by violence -- smoke pours out The Great Mosque in Douma as rebels fight for control of Aleppo. In a rare television interview, Assad nixed any plan to end the conflict that would involve him leaving.
叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德表示他什么地方也不会去。这场19月之久反对他的叛乱使得这个国家身陷暴乱，叛军奋力争夺阿勒颇致使杜马大清真寺浓烟滚滚。在一次罕见的电视采访中，阿萨德拒绝任何需要他下台的结束冲突计划。
Bashar Assad, Syrian President saying: "I'm not puppet, I wasn't made by the West to go to the West or any other country. I'm Syrian, I'm made in Syria and I have to live in Syria and die in Syria."
叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德说：“我不是傀儡，我不会受西方的差遣到西方国家或其它任何国家去。我是叙利亚人，我生在叙利亚，长在叙利亚，死也要死在叙利亚。”
He also had this warning for the West about intervening. Bashar Assad, Syrian President saying: "I think the price of this invasion, if it is happening, is going to be more than the whole world can afford, because if you have problem in Syria, and we are the last stronghold of secularism and stability in the region and co-existence, it will have domino effect that affects the world, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. And you know the implication on the rest of the world. I don't think the West is going in that regard. But if they do so, nobody can tell what's next. Assad's defiant remarks coincided with more explosions throughout the country --- in Damascus and Aleppo --- in this last video posted to a social mediawebsite whose content Reuters cannot independently verify.
针对西方国家的干预他同样发出了这样的警告。:叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德说：“我认为侵略的代价，如果发生了，世界都将因叙利亚问题承受不起，我们有世俗主义最后的堡垒以及区域与共存的稳定，这将引发多米诺效应(连锁反应)，进而影响全球，从大西洋到太平洋。你知道这在其他地区意味着什么。我不认为西方国家会在那方面行事，要是果真如此，没有人能预测接下来会发生什么。阿萨德发表挑衅言论之际，据发布到一社交媒体网站上的视频显示，在大马士革和阿勒颇以及全国出现更多爆炸袭击事件，路透社无法独立核实内容的真实性。

CNN学生新闻
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: This one has been circled on a lot of calendars for a while. It`s Tuesday, November 6h, election day, and we`re taking a look at how the day and the math could play out. I`m Carl Azuz. Let`s go.
First up, we want to talk a bit about how this day is going to go. For starters, it`s already going. In a unique election day tradition, two New Hampshire towns started voting at midnight. For the rest of the country, polls started opening up as early as 5:00 Eastern time this morning. By noon Eastern, voters will be casting ballots in all 50 states. Polls start closing at 6:00 p.m Eastern. And then the closings kind of move their way across the country. Now, voters are deciding on the presidency, of course, but also U.S. Senate and House races, some governors races, state and local elections, and proposed state laws. We`re going to have more on that coming up.
The presidency is expected to be a close race. In fact, a new CNN poll showed president Obama and former Governor Romney in a dead heat. Governor Romney is scheduled to visit Ohio and Pennsylvania today. President Obama is planning to spend the day in Chicago. Now, as the votes are counted and the election results start coming in, both candidates are going to be keeping a close eye on the electoral college count. That is the big prize today. Tom Foreman explains why and how this works.
TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The electoral college in its essence is basically a compromise, a compromise between having Congress select all of our presidents, which Congress once did, and letting us by popular vote select our presidents.
The electoral college is what actually elects a president. We all think we do, we don`t really. What we do is we vote for these people. These people are the ones who actually have the vote that actuate everything, that make it happen. Each state selects its electors from a bunch of the good citizenry of that state, and they are proportional by the size of the congressional delegation from the states. For example, all of your Congress members and your senators combined produce the number of electoral votes you get in your state. So California gets a whole lot, Texas gets a lot, Montana, North Dakota, not so much.
The behavior of the electors is one of the great acts of trust in this country, because only in a few places are they actually bound to what the people and the population say. They can change their minds, and there have been rare occasions in which electors have gone to the actual process of electing the president and said, I disagree with my state, and they have cast another vote.
One of the big reasons you always hear for the electoral college is that it evens out power a little bit. If you just had a popular vote, then the most populous state would really consolidate all the power, and if you lived in a state like North Dakota, you would have very, very little influence or ability to create any influence, unless you banded together with a bunch of other states. And beyond that, all the campaigning would only happen in giant population centers.
The biggest con you hear is that it can override the popular vote. People can triangulate the electoral votes, and actually win the presidency when most of the people in the country do not want that person in the Oval Office.
AZUZ: So 435 congressional seats, plus 100 seats in the U.S. Senate and three electors for the District of Columbia. That all adds up to 538 electoral college votes. It takes a majority of these votes, at least 270, to win the presidency. John King looks at the math for both of the candidates to see how those votes could add up to history.
JOHN KING, CNN ANCHOR: Look at this. If the president can take Iowa, can take Wisconsin and can take Ohio, it`s game over. If nothing else changed on the map, that would get the president to 271, and it would be game over. That`s why the president is ending his campaign right here in the heartland, places where he can talk about the auto bailout. He thinks that`s a big plus for him. So that`s one way. That is the president`s quickest way. I won`t say it`s the easiest, but it`s his easiest, not an easy way to 270. So what does that mean? It means for starters, Governor Romney has to take the state of Ohio.
Let`s take these back and make them tossups and show you. That was the president`s fastest way. How does Governor Romney get there? He has to win the state of Florida. Not negotiable. Governor Romney needs Florida, he needs those 29 electoral votes. He has to take North Carolina. We already have it leaning that way, and he has to take Virginia as well. That`s 13 more. That would get Governor Romney there. Then, the governor`s most reasonable scenario is to take Ohio. No Republican has ever won without it. If Governor Romney can get those electoral votes, plus Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio, what does that do? That would get him to 266. Over here in the east, he would need just one more, any one of the remaining states. If Governor Romney can do Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Ohio, any one of the remaining states would put him over the top. That`s what makes this one so, so, so important.
AZUZ: So who do you want to win? We`ve seen so many polls in this race for so many weeks now, we`re taking our own informal poll at cnnstudentnews.com. Tell us whether you`re hoping for the incumbent president, the former governor or someone else to lead the country.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Today`s shoutout goes out to Mrs. McKay`s and Mrs. Miller`s language arts classes at Glenview Middle School in East Moline, Illinois. In a blank, voters decide on a proposed government law or policy. Is it a rebuttal, a filibuster, referendum, or oligarchy? You got 3 seconds, go.
A referendum is a vote on a proposed law or policy. That`s your answer and that is your shoutout.
AZUZ: There is at least one referendum on the ballot in 38 states today. All in all, voters will decide on almost 180 proposed laws or policies, and that includes some pretty controversial issues. For example, President Obama`s health care reform law. Four states are voting on whether people and businesses can avoid the part of the law that requires that they purchase health care for themselves or their employees. Voters in other states will be looking at proposals that involve same-sex marriage, abortion, the death penalty and legalizing medical marijuana. And two states, Washington and Georgia, have referendums on creation of charter schools.
Watching the results come in on election night is kind of like watching history as it happens. I mean, these are the names that wind up in your textbooks. So as we wrap up our coverage of election day, we are going to take a look back at these historic announcements.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Right now, Jimmy Carter is preparing to get into the presidential limousine. He will be making his concession speech.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: President Carter told by his pollster Pat Caddell that it is all over reportedly is preparing to concede defeat to Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential election.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Stand by 2.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Cable News Network`s election watch, presents election night, 1984.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE:: So we have Mr. Mondale with 41 percent of the vote, and Mr. Reagan with 58 percent.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: CNN election night `88. From CNN Center.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: George Bush easily crushed Michael Dukakis`s campaign, in the popular vote, as you can see, 54 to 46 percent.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: CNN election night.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The president-elect Bill Clinton, Vice President- elect Al Gore still relishing the smell of success.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: William Jefferson Clinton has a job for four more years.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE:: He becomes the first Democrat since Franklin Roosevelt to win reelection to the White House.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: At 18 minutes past two o`clock Eastern time, CNN declares that George Walker Bush has won Florida`s 25 electoral votes, and this should put him over the top.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Stand by, stand by. CNN right now is moving our earlier declaration of Florida back to the too close to call column.
WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: With 270 electoral college votes needed to be elected president, right now, we`ve projected President Bush will carry 246 electoral votes, John Kerry 188.
And CNN can now project that Barack Obama, 47 years old, will become the president-elect of the United States.
AZUZ: All right, that was a look back at the past eight presidential elections. Tomorrow, we`re going to add a ninth to that list, and we hope you`ll elect to join us for that. I`m Carl Azuz. Have a great day, everyone.
