1【Israel releases video of air strike on Hamas miltiary chief】以色列公布空袭哈迈斯军事首领视频
Ahmed Al-Jaabari was in this car when it was blown apart by an israeli missile. Israel confirmed it had carried out the attack on the Hammas military chief. They also warned locals in Gaza to expect more strikes.
当这辆车被以色列炸得四分五裂时，Ahmed Al-Jaabari正在车内。以色列已经证实对哈迈斯军事首领发动袭击。他们同样提醒当地加沙居民可能会发动更多袭击。
Israeli Army Spokesperson Lieutenant Colonel Avital Leibovitch saying: "The goal of the operation is to defend Israeli people and also target and cripple those terror organizations responsible for the ongoing rocket fire"
以色列军方发言人陆军少校Avital Leiboitch说：“这次行动的目的是保护以色列人民，同样为了削弱那些正在负责火箭袭击的恐怖组织。
Palestinians say a total of nine people were killed including a seven-year-old girl. The series of missile strikes marked the biggest escalation between Israel and Gaza militants since 2009 It comes despite signs that Egypt had managed to broker a truce between Israel and Palestinian militants -- after a five day surge of violence which saw more than 100 missiles fired out of Gaza and repeated Israeli strikes on the enclave.
巴勒斯坦表示共有九人丧生，其中包括一个七岁的小女孩。一系列的导弹袭击标志着以色列和加沙积极分子自1990年以来达到最大恶化。尽管有迹象显示埃及已经设法促成以色列和巴勒斯坦激进分子达成停火协议，但在五天的暴乱中从加沙发射出了100多枚导弹，飞地遭到以色列反复袭击。
2【Violent clashes throughout Europe】暴力冲突席卷欧洲
Anger over spending cuts erupts throughout Europe. In Rome, protesters hurled rocks at police who responded with tear gas. In Portugal, Molotov cocktails and clashes outside of parliament... and in Madrid, thousands turned out to voice their anger over spending cuts they say are making Europe's economic crisis worse. The demonstrations --- held simultaneously throughout the continent--- are part of what is being called a called a "European Day of Action and Solidarity." At least one hundred people have been arrested across several countries, and clashes prompted road closings and disrupted air, rail, and ground travel. What impact the strikes will have is unclear --- many who participated say they have few options in the face of already high unemployment and plans for further austerity cuts.
对削减开支的愤怒爆发至整个欧洲。在罗马，示威者向警察投掷石块，警方用催泪弹以回击。在葡萄牙，议会外爆发冲突，使用起了燃烧弹。在马德里，成千上万的人们表达他们的愤怒，他们认为削减开支让欧洲的经济危机更糟糕。整个大陆同时举行游行示威，是所谓的“欧洲行动和团结日”的部分行动。在多个国家，至少有一百人被捕，冲突导致道路封闭，航空、铁路和地面旅行被扰乱。罢工将产生怎样的影响还不清楚- - - - -很多人参与者表示面对高的失业率和进一步财政紧缩政策他们别无他法。

【Obama addresses Petraeus scandal, Benghazi】奥巴马就Petraeus丑闻讲话
At his first news conference since winning a second term last week, President Obama addressed the scandal that led to the resignation of David Petraeus.
自上周胜选连任以来的首次新闻发布会上，总统奥巴马就导致大卫·彼得雷乌斯离职的丑闻发表讲话。
U.S. President Barack Obama saying: "By his own assessment, he did not meet the standards that he felt were necessary as the director of CIA with respect to this personal matter." The president acknowledged that there is an ongoing FBI investigation but says he is not aware of any evidence indicating a breach of security. He went on to say this about his former CIA director.
美国总统奥巴马说：“他自己评估，关于这件私事他没有达到自认为的中央情报局局长必要的标准。”奥巴马承认联邦调查局正在展开调查，但他表示目前没有任何证据表明其破坏安全。针对他的前中央情报局局长，奥巴马接着说。
U.S. President Barack Obama saying: "My main hope right now is - is that he and his family are able to move on and that this ends up being a single side note on what has otherwise been an extraordinary career." Security issues dominated the event and the focus eventually turned to Benghazi. Specifically, Republican attacks on U.S. ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice's initial response to the seige that killed four Americans dead.
美国总统奥巴马说：“我现在主要的希望是，他和他的家人能继续前行，在原本已经是一个非凡的事业上这只是一个单边解释。”安全问题是该起事件的主要议题，最终把焦点转向了班加西。特别是，共和党攻击美国驻联合国大使苏珊·赖斯就造成四名美国人死亡的围攻事件作出的最初反应。
U.S. President Barack Obama saying: "For them to go after the UN ambassador, who had nothing to do with Benghazi (EDIT) and to besmirch her reputation is outrageous." Senators John McCain and Lindsey Graham say they will block any efforts to promote Rice, who is a contender to replace Hillary Clinton as the U.S. Secretary of State.
美国总统奥巴马说：“对于他们跟随联合国大使，班加西没有任何关系，对她名声的玷污是不可容忍的。”赖斯是接任希拉里担任美国国务卿的竞争者，参议员约翰·麦凯恩和林赛·格雷厄姆表示将不惜一切代价阻碍她。

CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: You`ve probably been to a museum, but you probably didn`t need scuba gear to get there. That`s one of the stories we are diving into today on CNN STUDENT NEWS. I`m Carl Azuz.
First up, we are looking at President Obama`s first news conference since he was reelected to a second term. The president took questions from the media for about an hour at the White House yesterday afternoon. One topic that came up, the so-called "fiscal cliff". It`s a set of spending cuts and tax increases that could go into effect soon. The president and congressional leaders are considering ways to avoid that cliff. President Obama was set to meet with business leaders after yesterday`s news conference to talk about the issue. He said he wants input from everyone.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: I`m open to new ideas, if Republican counterparts or some Democrats have a great idea for us to raise revenue, maintain progress, make sure the middle class isn`t getting hit, reduces our deficit, encourages growth, I`m not going to just slam the door in their face. I want to hear idea - I want to hear ideas from everybody.
AZUZ: We are going to leave Washington now and head over to the Middle East, specifically Gaza, one of the territories at the center of the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians. The violence between those two groups has been increasing recently. Yesterday, Israel launched air strikes against what it said were terrorists targets. Palestinian officials said there were at least 35 strikes in an eight-hour span of time. At least nine people were killed in the air strikes, and that includes the leader of the military wing of Hamas, that group controls the Palestinian government and the U.S. classifies it as the terrorist organization.
Israel said its air strikes were a response to increased rocket attacks from Gaza. One of those rockets hit a shopping center in southern Israel yesterday. Both sides, Israel and Hamas, say they are defending themselves against attacks from the other side.
Finally, we are going to head all the way over to Australia. Some people made their way to the northeastern part of the country this week, and they went there to see this: a total solar eclipse that was visible over Australia`s northern territories. According to NASA, this kind of thing happens on average about every 18 months. But that`s in different spots around the world. This parts of Australia might not see another full solar eclipse for 375 years. So, what exactly is going on in a solar eclipse? It has to do with orbits and shadows. Solar eclipse happens when the Moon, while it`s orbiting the Earth, passes directly in front of the Sun. That casts a shadow on the Earth surface. In the outer part of that shadow, the penumbra, part of the Sun, is blocked. In the inner part, the umbra, that`s where the eclipse is total.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today "Shoutout" goes out to Ms. Chapman`s English class at Daniel J. Savage Middle School in Modesto, California. Newton`s first law, which says an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an outside force, describes what concept?
Is it inertia, gravity, acceleration or thermodynamics? You`ve got three seconds, go!
Newton`s first law of motion is sometimes known as a law of inertia. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: An everyday example of inertia: you are driving a car down the street, and another one stopped in front of you. Your car will stay in motion unless an outside force stops it, so either a break or the other car. Now, there is some new technology out that could help avoid the accident. The National Transportation Safety Board says this new technology should be required on all vehicles. It could help prevent some accidents, it could also drive up the cost of a car. Sandra Endo now takes a look at how this technology works.
SANDRA ENDO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This is what federal safety officials want to avoid.
Oh my gosh! Ah!
A new technology could help. I got behind the wheel at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety to see how collision avoiding systems work. This car automatically brakes when it comes too close to the car in front.
Wow! That is freaky! And it completely braked on its own.
DAVID ZUBY, INSURANCE INSTITUTE OF HIGHWAY SAFETY: It prevented a crash.
ENDO: The sensors and cameras installed in the vehicle can detect more than just cars: at a faster speed, watch what happens.
ZUBY: And a pedestrian out in front of us.
ENDO: Oh my gosh! A! Oh my gosh! I hit him!
ZUBY: You hit him!
ENDO: Oh no!
ZUBY: But not too hard. He probably just fell over.
ENDO: Oh, I didn`t.
ZUBY: And at a higher speed, we wouldn`t -- we wouldn`t avoid the crash, and that would be a crash, but because of the braking, the crash would be at the lower speed then it would be without the system.
ENDO: The National Transportation Safety Board Wednesday added collision avoidance technology to its list of most wanted safety improvements. It wants states to mandate these systems, now available in luxury cars in all cars.
DEBORAH HERSMAN, NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION SAFETY BOARD: We know that hundreds of lives can be saved, and hundreds of thousands of injuries can be prevented if the technology improves and you can avoid these runoff the road, rear end and also the side departure, the lane departure collisions.
ENDO: Other safety systems on the market include blind spot indicators, directional headlights and an alert when a driver drifts out of the lane. The insurance institute says, the automatic breaking system is effective. The lane departure warning system hurts rather than helps. But it`s unclear, why.
ZUBY: They don`t seem in this earlier data to be preventing crashes, which is a disappointment. Transportation safety officials say, once the kinks are worked out, the technology could further reduce the number of fatalities, which has been decreasing from year to year.
ENDO: Oh my gosh!
Despite the increasing number of drivers on the road.
ENDO: Wow! That was scary!

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit? Coral is an example of an igneous rock.
No, in fact, it`s not a rock at all. Coral is alive and it`s a type of animal.
AZUZ: Coral is a living species, it`s also an endangered species. And a museum near Cancun, Mexico is trying to help out in a couple of ways: The art work is designed to help develop new coral: and the artist who created it is hoping his design will pull some of the attention away from existing coral, to kind of give those reefs a rest. Nick Parker has more on a green project beneath the dip blue sea.
NICK PARKER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Welcome. To an underwater world and mysterious figures frozen in time.
This unique museum off the coast of Cancun has nearly 500 sculptures sunken in up to ten meters of water.
A growing tourists attraction, it`s also a vital frontline in conservation as it diverts divers from Mexico`s fragile coral reefs.
It`s a labor of love for British artist Jason De Caires Taylor who began the project in 2009.
JASON DE CAIRES TAYLOR, SCULPTOR: I was a diver, and I`ve been diving around the world in various places, so I had this vision that I always wanted to create this underwater sort of seascape, and I was also looking into the conservation element of it that it could be used to create an artificial reef, started off like a pilot project in Grenada. It started off quite small, we just had a few pieces, and slowly grew.
PARKER: The project called "the eye" of Cancun`s Marine Park officials who were trying to restore the region`s reefs damaged by 2005`s Hurricane Wilma.
JAIME GONZALEZ, NATIONAL MARINE PARK: And we thought that by implementing this project, will become an icon for Cancun.
PARKER: Taylor has staggered the deployment of the statues over a few years, so there are some that cleaner than others.
The visual evidence of nature gradually taking over, he has titled "silent evolution." Crucially, the statues are made from a ph-neutral material to attract fish and coral. And the cement is high grade, to withstand strong currents.
TAYLOR: The world`s coral reefs are facing extreme pressures from all sides. Issues to do with water quality and global warming are, you know, some of the biggest problems. This project, obviously, can`t combat that. But what it kind of help to do is raise some awareness about the state of our reefs and draw people`s attention, to, you know, the underwater scene.
AZUZ: All right, we are going to wrap things up today with a little museum matchup. Guess, which one is real, and which one`s a work of art. OK, it`s easy to tell them apart. They do look eerily alike, even this guy`s girlfriend was a little freaked out by the resemblance when she ran across this painting during a visit to a museum.
NIKKIE CURTIS, MAX GALUPPO`S GIRLFRIEND: I`m giggling like crazy, and it`s dead silent in those museums -- and I go, do you see this guy?
MAX GALUPPPO: I`ll be honest, at first I didn`t -- I didn`t think it looked like me.
I feel goof for 450 -- I`ve got to-- I`ve got to admit.
AZUZ: The painting was made 450 years ago, I guess when you are waiting for your long last twin to show up, you have a lot of time to just hang around. And while the guy might have tried to brush off the resemblance at first, eventually, he had to come to grips with the art truth. Of course, the whole thing has gone viral. So, if he was looking for a little online attention, this is a big twin. And while sometimes it`s difficult to come up with the pans at the end of show, with art stories, they just come easily.
That`s all for CNN STUDENT NEWS. I hope you`ll paint us back into your schedule on Friday.
