=====精彩回顾=====
North Korean leader visits frontline
朝鲜警告核先发制人打击美国 金正恩访前线
The North Korean leader begins a troop inspection amid rising tension on the peninsular. State television showed Kim Jong-un on Thursday (March 7) visiting two military units near its sea border with the South. The state news agency said he urged the soldiers to respond to any attack. The footage was released as the United Nations approved new sanctions targeting the North nuclear and missile programmes. South Korea's defence ministry welcomed the move, and said they are ready to act if provoked.
随着半岛局势日益紧张，朝鲜领导人开始检阅部队。周四(3月7日)，国家电视台播放了金正恩访问南部边界附近的两个军事单位。国家新闻机构称，金正恩敦促士兵对任何攻击给予反击。这段录像公布之际，联合国批准了对朝核和导弹计划的新一轮制裁。韩国国防部对此举表示欢迎，并称如果遭到挑衅，他们准备好了采取行动。
SOUTH KOREAN DEFENCE MINISTRY SPOKESMAN KIM MIN-SEOK SAYING: "If North Korea attacks South Korea with nuclear power, the Kim Jong-un regime will be extinct from the Earth by the will of mankind as well as by South Korea. Tension has risen in recent days as North Korea threatened the U.S. with a pre-emptive nuclear strike. Experts believe it's a largely empty warning as Pyongyang has no capability to hit the U.S. Mainland.
韩国国防部发言人KIM min seok称：“如果朝鲜用核武器袭击了韩国，借全人类和韩国的旨意，金正恩政权将会从地球上消失。”就在最近几天，朝鲜威胁称要核先发制人打击美国，致使紧张局势加剧。专家认为，朝鲜发出的只是一个空头警告，因为平壤根本没有能力袭击美国大陆。
Suspect in fatal NYC hit-and-run crash arrested
纽约交通肇事逃逸者被逮捕
A New York City man with a lengthy criminal record surrendered to police on Wednesday, ending a manhunt for the driver who fled the scene of a deadly hit-and-run crash. The 44-year-old Brooklyn man earlier killed a young couple; their unborn child was later delivered by C-section, but then also died.
周三，造成致命肇事逃逸事故的纽约男子向警方自首，结束了警方的追捕行动，该男子此前有过许多犯罪前科。44岁的布鲁克林人此前杀害过一对年轻的夫妇，他们未出生的孩子后来接受剖腹产，但也死亡了。
The victims were both 21-year-old from a close-knit Orthodox Jewish community in Williamsburg. They were on their way to the hospital when their taxi was hit broadside by a grey BMW sedan just after midnight on Sunday. The New York Daily News reported that the suspect said he fled the scene of the accident because he was afraid of being shot.
受害者的年龄都是21岁，来自威廉斯堡一严密的正统犹太社区组织。周日晚上他们正在赶往医院的路上，被一辆灰色宝马轿车从侧面撞上。《纽约每日新闻》报道称，嫌疑人称因为害怕被击毙（肇事后）便逃离了事故现场。
A mother fights to educate her daughters
一位为女儿教育奋斗的母亲
In a small Pakistani village, 44 year old Nabeela Bano walks home with her buffalo. The money she earns selling it's milk helps put her four daughters through school. Eight years ago she was widowed, and has fought everyday since to provide the kind of life for her family she never had. Strong taboos still exist in Pakistan against women.
在巴基斯坦的一个小村庄，44岁的巴诺牵着她家的水牛走回家。她用卖水牛奶挣的钱帮助四个女儿完成学业。八年前，她的丈夫去世了，自从给家庭带来从未有过的生活，她每天都在战斗着。巴基斯坦妇女仍面临强大的禁忌。
In the capital Islamabad, female members of parliament praise the progress of women's rights saying a substantial amount of funding has been allocated for girls' schools. But in Bano's village, those schools remain to be seen. Her daughters walk to another village everyday to attend class as there are no schools for girls here. Bano's decision to continue her daughters education has drawn criticism from villagers, but praise and respect from her daughters.
在首都伊斯兰堡，女议员赞扬女权取得的进步，称有大量的资金分配到了女子学校。但在巴诺的村庄，却并没有女校踪影。每天，她的女儿要走到另一个村庄上课，因为这里没有为女子提供学校。巴诺继续为她女儿提供教育的决定引发了村民的批评，但赢得了她女儿的赞美和尊重。
JAVAIRIA BIBI, DAUGHTER OF NABEELA BANO, SAYING: "He said, 'do not send the girls to school anymore.' But my mother said, 'I could not study myself, and if I stop my daughters from getting educated, it will be too bad. Look at my plight. If I was educated, I would have been able to do something better today. My daughters are going to study.' My mother stands up like a rock in front of everyone (who does not want us to go to school)."
巴诺的女儿比比：“别人说，不要送女孩去学校了。但我妈妈说，我自己没读书，如果我再不让女儿接受教育，这太糟糕了。看看我的困境。如果我接受了教育，我今天就能做的更好。我女儿要读书。在不想让我们上学的人面前，我妈妈态度很坚硬。”
International Women's Day, March 8th, is held every year to help nations worldwide promote and protect women's rights. And to honour women like Bano who fights daily to improve the life of her daughters. I am doing all this only for my children, she said. If I do not, who will? There is no one else.
3月8日，每年的国际妇女节就是国际妇女节，旨在帮助世界各国促进和保护妇女的权利。尊重像巴诺一样的妇女，为提高女儿的生活每天奋斗。她说，我所做的一切只是为了我的孩子，如果我都不这样，还有谁会？没人会。
CCTV资讯:身在城市却不属于这座城市的人
Migrant workers' dilemma: "in the city but not of the city"
身在城市却不属于这座城市的人
ZY: China’s breakneck economic growth over the past decades has seen an explosion in the number of rural residents hoping to better their chances in cities and towns. At the end of 2011, and for the first time, China counted more urban than rural dwellers. Now for more on the urbanization drive, we are joined in the studio by my colleague Wu Haojun.
Q1: It took China just 3 decades to really transform itself into an urban society. Can you tell us how those newly-settled in cities have fared?
A: Yes, indeed. Over the past decade in China, this rapid transformation has been felt everywhere, especially in mega-cities like Shanghai and Beijing. To put things into perspective, by the end of 2012 over 52 percent of China’s total population were urban dwellers. That’s a leap of 12 percent in only 10 years. And there’s no doubt about who the majority of the newcomers are. 2011 figures show that 43.5 percent of city dwellers did not have a corresponding city hukou or household registration. And 87% of them are migrant workers from the countryside.
And to answer your question there, being an urban resident is vastly different from actually having a city hukou, which some would describe as being a "proper city folk". For one, there’s the income disparity. Of course, there’s no direct causal relationship here, but here’s the reality. Though migrant workers’ average income per month rose by over 21 percent in 2011, according to the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, they still earn less than one third of what their peers with a city household registration earn.
Q2: Can you tell us more about how the hukou system figures in here. And especially both the visible and not so apparent benefits associated with having a city hukou.
A: Let’s take Beijing as an example here. First, education, it’s really the ONE issue migrant parents prioritize above all else. If you don’t have a Beijing hukou and want a quality education in a public school, you’d have to pay the so-called "temporary schooling fee", which is banned under official regulations but accepted as a common practice. It comes down to about a total of 57,000 yuan in extra fees.
Despite the heavy fee, it still doesn’t grant you the right to sit the college entrance exam in Beijing. In turn this means you’re subject to much higher university admission standards back home. But it doesn’t end with education. You also can’t get a marriage certificate in Beijing. And if you want to purchase property, you can buy one and only one property if you can show you’ve been paying 5+ years of tax and social security. Same goes for owning a car. And I’m really just talking about the migrant workers who’ve done well for themselves here. For many who are just trying to make ends meet and don’t have the kind of money even to enter the city’s social security scheme, it’s difficult for them to get access to benefits such as health insurance that city dwellers enjoy.
CNN学生新闻:美国东部遭暴风雪袭击
Winter Storm Batters Eastern United States
美国东部遭暴风雪袭击
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A warm welcome on this Thursday, March 7, especially for anyone who`s dealing with this frosty reception. A winter storm? Yes, another one hammered parts of the Midwestern and Northeastern United States this week. Power outages, schools and businesses closed, flights canceled. Chicago had a record one-day snowfall on Tuesday. CNN`s Ted Rowlands was there.
TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: And this is not only in Chicago. Of course, it`s hitting the Midwest, Minneapolis, North Dakota, getting in excess of a foot of snow, and the system is heading east.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`ve gotten our yardstick out, and at least where I am, I`ve measured from place to place where it looked like the snow was untouched, about six inches of snow so far. Right here in downtown Winchester, although that`s by no means a scientific reading.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Many airlines canceled. A number of flights, hundreds, in facts, and where I`m at Dulles is a big hub for United Airlines as is Chicago`s O`Hare airports. So, United is taking a big hit. They canceled about 700 flights.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The highest waves during Sandy were maybe 40 miles an hour, but this time we are talking about 12 to 15 foot seas. Now, you can see the damage that is still pretty clear about what happened during Hurricane Sandy. Look, so many houses still have been destroyed or are heavily damaged.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Is this legit? Members of OPEC, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, are all Middle Eastern nations.
Not true. OPEC includes countries from Africa and South America, too.
AZUZ: Like Venezuela, a country of more than 28 million people that`s in the northern part of South America. Oil is huge part of Venezuela`s economy. It`s one of the biggest industries in the country, that`s responsible for roughly 95 percent of all the money that Venezuela earns by selling products to other nations. Venezuela`s in the middle of seven days of mourning. The country`s long time leader, Hugo Chavez, died this week. His casket was moved to a military academy yesterday. That`s where his state funeral is scheduled to happen tomorrow. Venezuela will set a date to elect a new leader in the next 30 days. During this time, as President Hugo Chavez`s supporters argue that he gave Venezuelans the sense of national pride. His critics argue that Chavez ruined this country`s economy and restricted people`s liberties. Controversy plays a large role in Chavez`s legacy.
HUGO CHAVEZ: Victoria! Victoria!
AZUZ: He relished being at the center of controversy. So, it`s no wonder his friends and foes had very different takes on the Chavez legacy.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He`s made Venezuelans feel proud to be Venezuelan again. And not as something, I think that really no other leader has ever done in that country before. In fact, they were doing the opposite.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He`s destroyed the economy and centralized all power in his hands, decimated the democratic institutions in the country and left Venezuelan democracy in even worse shape. So it`s a pretty negative legacy.
AZUZ: Chavez`s rhetoric often aimed at the United States or at multinational corporations. It invoked the promise of a socialist utopia, but Hugo Chavez had what most other Latin American leftists did not - oil. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world, along with Saudi Arabia. That oil wealth enabled Chavez to offer up free education and healthcare in his own country. The price of his socialist agenda - Hugo Chavez himself, presidential term limits were abolished. Even his critics admit, he could have gone on winning elections indefinitely. His biggest failure maybe his success, a legacy of one. Friends and foes, the Chavez legacy is filled with both.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See if you can I.D. me. I`m a type of vehicle that`s been around for more than 100 years. My name comes from a Latin word that refers to a combination of things. In my case, that`s internal combustion engine and an electric motor. I`m a hybrid. A vehicle that runs on fuel and electricity.
AZUZ: Volkswagen is coming out with a new hybrid car that the company claims would get the equivalent of 261 miles per gallon. Considering that the standard Toyota Prius gets around 50, this is significant. But this doesn`t mean that the XL 1, as it`s being called, will get you across the country without stopping. Between battery and diesel power, VW says, it will go about 310 miles total, which is about 90 miles less than your average sedan on a full tank of gas. But the XL 1`s engine only needs about 2.6 gallons of diesel to fill it. So, a fill-up at today`s prices would cost about 11 bucks. It`s incredibly aerodynamic, significantly more so than a Chevy Corvette, for example, and it certainly looks futuristic. But it`s not fast. It will take over 12 seconds to get you from zero to 60. Its top speed will be about 100 miles per hour, though, of course, none of us would ever drive that fast. It`s also not expected to be cheap, and it may not even be available in the U.S. But Europeans, who want fuel mileage bragging rights and can still afford the car, may have something to brag about.
One week ago, we told you about Jhaquiel Reagan. While he was walking to a job interview, he made an impression on a local restaurant owner and got a job there. It is a great story about one person`s work ethic, but it`s not the end of the story, and it`s not the end of Jhaquiel`s impressive display of character. WXIN`s Kent Erdahl picks up the story.
KENT ERDAHL, WXIN CORRESPONDENT: Jhaquiel Reagan has met a lot of people since setting off on a ten-mile to a job interview days ago, an interview that he wouldn`t even end up needing after meeting the owner of Papa Ru on his way.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I`m thinking to myself, here`s a kid walking almost ten miles in ice and slush and snow for the hope of a job at minimum wage, just like the kind of story your parent used to tell - my parents used to tell - uphill both ways in the snow.
ERDAHL: Jhaquiel`s stories also now stuff of legend - he`s been immortalized in his own editorial cartoon and seen his picture pop up on stories he can begin to translate.
JHAQUIEL REAGAN: People all over the globe see me. It`s really crazy.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The story, as one of my customers put it, is redefining viral.
ERDAHL: That`s because it`s generated more than just likes on Facebook. It`s created a new life for Jhaquiel.
REAGAN: It really has changed quick. Like I went from sleeping on the couch to sleeping in my own house - in my own apartment.
ERDAHL: You see, before meeting his new landlord, Jhaquiel was homeless and living with friends. He also didn`t have a phone.
REAGAN: I was trying to get a hold of you last night.
ERDAHL: Now, he is taking calls from the Chicago Bulls organization. They contacted him after seeing a certain hat on TV.
REAGAN: They gave me some tickets to the Bulls. I was really impressed. It`s awesome.
ERDAHL: As we showed you last week, Jhaquiel also received a free bus pass, though he hasn`t had to use it much after meeting plenty of coworkers who have offered to give him rights.
REAGAN: I really appreciated. Really grateful.
ERDAHL: Jhaquiel`s story didn`t just give him a job. In fact, they`ve gotten so much good publicity here at Papa Ru, that they`ve actually had to hire additional stuff to keep up with all the extra demand.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We`ve got five new permanent hires.
ERDAHL: Some of them spend time answering phones.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: My cashiers have turned into receptionists.
ERDAHL: Fielding dozens of donation requests for Jhaquiel.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Each slip is an individual contact of a person with a name and a number, and they want to help financially, each of these slips.
EDRAHL: In fact, so many donations have come in that Jhaquiel decided to create his own foundation, saying half the money will go to help disadvantage people find work. The other half will go to him, but he`ll be sharing it with the most important people he`s met in the past days.
REAGAN: 25 percent of my half is going to Papa Ru employees. Because they have been working their fingers to the bone while all of this has been going on. The restaurant has been more busy than it has ever been. And, you know, they really deserve it, you know.
AZUZ: Are teenagers getting tired of Facebook? Just about everyone who tweeted me about this, said yes. A couple of new reports say Facebook`s younger users might be leaving for other sites and apps like Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. Facebook still gained millions of users last year, and the company owns Instagram, but many teenagers are turned off by the number of parents on Facebook and privacy factors in it, too. Graham said on our Facebook page, he is posting less because he worries about colleges or potential employers seeing it. Students on Facebook can talk to us there. Teachers, you can talk to us at cnnstudentnews.com. Please let us know your thoughts on today`s show.
Something you may not know about me. I can juggle - not well. So already I thought this Youtube video was impressive. But watch this guy`s left hand and listen closely.
You noticed what`s going on there? Every time he catches the cube, he is moving its pieces. The only way I ever solved a Rubik`s cube was by taking the stickers off and moving them around. This guy is doing it one-handed while he juggles. Show off. We`d suggest like a mic drop, but it doesn`t look he ever drops anything. We are going to grade that performance, but we didn`t have a good Rubik for it. He posted that video right before Valentine`s day. You might think that`s puzzling, but it was just in time for Cupid, and if he ever takes his show on the road, I just hope he stays safe, because it can be a real juggle out there. I`m Carl Azuz, enjoy the rest of your day.
