India gang rape suspect commits suicide say officials
官员称印度轮奸案嫌疑人自杀
There's a new twist in a case that's triggered widespread protests across India. The driver of a bus in which a young woman was gang-raped and fatally injured three months ago allegedly hanged himself here in New Delhi's Tihar Jail. Ram Singh was one of the five men and one minor on trial for the attack on the 23-year-old in the Indian capital. Police described him as the ringleader. The man's lawyer questioned suicide as the cause of death on Monday saying "there were no such circumstances that could force him to commit suicide".
引发印度大范围抗议的轮奸案有了新的转折。据称，涉及三月前一年轻女子在公共汽车上遭轮奸致死的汽车司机在新德里提哈监狱上吊自杀。罗姆·辛格是印度首都强奸一名23岁女子的五人之一，也是审判中的未成年人。警方称他的罪魁祸首。周一，该男子的律师质疑死亡的原因是自杀，称：“没有什么环境会迫使他自杀。”
Officials are performing an autopsy to determine why and how the bus driver died, and prison authorities have ordered a magisterial inquiry. Police allege the six suspects attacked the woman and her male companion as the couple rode the bus home after watching a movie on December 16. The woman was raped and tortured with a metal bar - and both were also beaten before being thrown onto the road. The woman died of severe internal injuries in a Singapore hospital two weeks later.
官员正在进行尸检，确定公交车司机死亡的原因和方式，监狱当局已经下达了权威调查。警方称，12月16日，女子和她的男伴看完电影乘坐公共汽车回家遭六名疑犯攻击。嫌疑犯强奸了女孩并用金属棒对其拷问，她两还都被毒打然后扔在路边。两周后，女孩因伤势严重在新加坡医院去世。
US imposes more sanctions on North Korea
美国对朝实施更严厉的制裁
The U.S. Treasury is imposing sanctions against North Korea's Foreign Trade Bank, for its role in supporting Pyongyang's weapons of mass destruction program. In an address to the Asia Society, National Security Adviser Tom Donilon also underscored that the US would not tolerate a nuclear armed North Korea.
美国财政部正对朝鲜外贸银行实施制裁，因其支持朝鲜大规模杀伤性武器计划。在亚洲协会的一次演讲中，国家安全顾问汤姆·多尼伦还强调说，美国不会容忍一个拥有核武器的朝鲜。
UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, TOM DONILON, SAYING: "The United States will not accept North Korea as a nuclear state; nor will we stand by while it seeks to develop a nuclear-armed missile that can target the United States." Donilon added that Washington was willing to talk.
美国国家安全顾问汤姆·多尼隆说：“美国不会接受朝鲜拥有核武器，对于其发展能够攻击美国的核武器导弹，我们不会袖手旁观。”多尼隆称，华盛顿愿意对话。
UNITED STATES NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER, TOM DONILON, SAYING: "The United States is prepared to sit down with North Korea to negotiate and to implement the commitments that they and the United States have made. We ask only that North Korea prove its seriousness by taking meaningful steps to show it will abide by its commitments, honor its words, and respect international law." North Korea has shown increasing defiance in recent weeks, carrying out a nuclear test and making threats of military action.
美国国家安全顾问汤姆·多尼隆说：“美国正准备坐下来与朝鲜谈判，实现他们和美国做出的承诺。我们只需要朝鲜采取有意义的行动证明其严肃的态度，表明它将遵守自己的承诺，履行自己的诺言，尊重国际法律。”最近几周，朝鲜挑衅不断，进行核试验并制造军事威胁。
Japanese hold moment of silence on disaster anniversary
日本举国默哀 纪念3·11大地震死难者
Thousands gather in Tokyo's Hibiya Park for a moment of silence to commemorate victims of the earthquake, tsunami and nuclear disaster two years ago. Nearly 19,000 people were killed in what was the worst disaster since World War Two that struck Japan's northeast. Several thousand people are still unaccounted. More than 300,000 were stranded immediately after the disaster.
数千人聚集在东京日比谷公园，为两年前大地震、海啸和核灾难的遇难者默哀。地震造成近19，000人遇难，是二战以来袭击日本东北的最大灾难。几千人仍下落不明。地震发生后，300，000多人随即被困。
31-YEAR-OLD MAKI NAKAMURA, SAYING: "Of course, it can never be the same as experiencing the disaster for yourself, but I came because I wanted to share in the grief of the victims of the disaster as a fellow Japanese." The nuclear meltdown at the Tokyo Electric Power Company Fukushima Daiichi plant forced a further 315,000 people from their homes. In the north local communities held vigils to mark the day a series of waves, up to 30 metres in height, swept over the coast line following the massive quake. The destruction and loss of life has left residents struggling to cope.
31岁的真纪中村说：“当然，这绝不同于自己经历过这次灾难，但作为日本同胞，我来到这里，因为我想分担灾难遇难者的痛苦。”东京电力公司福岛第一核电站核泄漏致使 315,000 人被迫离开家园。地震引发的海浪高达30米，席卷了海岸线，北方当地社区举行了守夜活动来纪念这一天。灾难造成的破坏和生命损失使得居民穷于应付。
UNIDENTIFIED MAN FROM NAMIE TOWN SAYING: "It's still painful to talk about. Even just going down to the beach and looking at the waves, I get overcome with a sense of helplessness. I lose all confidence just seeing waves." Although the power plant is now stable, it will take decades and billions of dollars to fully decommission the damaged reactors. Many of those who fled will never be able to return home.
来自奈美惠镇不明身份的人说：“谈到这次事故，我仍然感到悲痛，即便只是到海滩，看着海浪，都深感无助。哪怕只是看到海浪都会让我失去所有的信心。”核电厂现在虽然稳定，但在反应堆完全废弃前仍需要数十年的时间，以及数十亿美元。
CCTV资讯:上海黄浦江打捞漂浮死猪达6000
Nearly 6000 dead pigs collected from Shanghai's Huangpu River
上海黄浦江打捞漂浮死猪达6000
Shanghai authorities announced Tuesday that the number of dead pigs collected from Shanghai’s Huangpu River has increased to 5,916. Workers have been busy collecting the corpses of floating pigs since Friday, and municipal authorities have said the corpses will be disposed of safely. A local water supply company said the city’s water quality has not been affected and is safe for human consumption, but they have taken emergency measures.
Qian Huizhong, Deputy Director of Xiaokunshan Water Plant, Shanghai, said, "If the water is contaminated, we will put more the disinfectants and activated carbon to purify the water."
Tags pinned to the ears of the pigs for tracing purposes indicate that they may have come from the upper reaches of the Huangpu River in Jiaxing City, east China’s Zhejiang Province. The tags, however, only indicate the animals’ birthplace. Officials said Tuesday that no mass swine epidemic had broken out in Jiaxing. Laboratory tests found porcine circovirus, a virus that can spread among pigs but not to human beings in one water sample taken from the Huangpu River. All other tests showed no signs of irregular contaminants or disease. The river is a major source of drinking water for Shanghai, an eastern metropolis of 23 million people.
CNN学生新闻：朝鲜否决1953年停战协议
North Korea Declares 1953 Armistice Invalid;
朝鲜否决1953年停战协议
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: I`m back. Happy to be with you for this Tuesday edition of CNN STUDENT NEWS. And I want to thank Tommy for filling in for me. Today, we`re going to start with an ending: North Korea is calling off the truce that stopped the Korean war. The conflict involved North Korea and China fighting against South Korea and the U.S. It ended in 1953 with an armistice. We covered the details on the war and the armistice, plus the ongoing tension between North and South Korea in our show on March 6. You can find that in our online archives.
What`s happening now is that North Korea says that truth is invalid. It`s backing out of it. What does that mean? We don`t really know yet. We know that North Korea is angry about new punishments from the United Nations over the North`s controversial nuclear program. We know North Korea is angry about military drills that the U.S and South Korea are running right now. After the announcement about the truce, South Korea tried calling the North on the hotline that`s set up between the two. The North didn`t answer.
Next today, we`re moving over to Japan. As that nation remembers a tragic anniversary this week. Monday was filled with ceremonies, services and a moment of silence. Exactly two years ago when earthquake struck, it was the largest one ever to hit the island nation. And the quake created a tsunami, a giant ocean wave. The two combined to cause massive amounts of damage. Nearly 16,000 people died. The tsunami led to a meltdown at the Fukushima-Daichi nuclear power plant. Crews have been working on the plant ever since. But officials say, it could take as much as 40 years to completely clean up the area and decontaminate it. The effects of the quake and tsunami spread far beyond Japan. This animation shows how huge amounts of debris were pulled out into the Pacific Ocean. Kyung Lah explains why some of it is showing up.
KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Slamming the shores of one of Hawaii`s most remote beaches - debris - big and small. Covering every inch of the Kamillo Beach coastline - a foreign marking sale where some of it comes from.
(on camera): These are definitely from Japan. This is some type of pickle. That`s definitely Japanese.
(voice over): Hawaii wildlife fund`s Megan Lamson has seen debris from Japan hit at a growing rate since fall. Like a refrigerator with Japanese on the temperature dial. Large buoys, even an intact fishing boat from Japan.
Sucked into the Pacific on that horrifying day two years ago. Traveling through the Pacific, volunteers like HWF had been fighting the already big problem of Marine debris, only made worse with a 1.5 million tons of floating tsunami debris.
MEGAN LAMSON, HAWAII WILDLIFE FUND: It`s disheartening to come out here and see all this marine debris in this area that`s otherwise so remote, debris that`s washing up from other countries.
AZUZ: The debris is washing up on shore, it`s also collecting out in the water. The areas outlined in red are called gyres. These are currents out in the ocean, and because of the way they work, things that float into them, kind of get trapped there. That includes debris from the Japan tsunami. Scientists are finding that trash, especially plastic, inside fish and birds out in the Pacific. We`re going to look at the impact on wildlife. But heads up to teachers. This report involves some shots of dissection. So, you probably want to preview it before showing it to your class. Once again, here is Kyung Lah.
LAH: Look, at what`s inside this albatross, a sea bird, found dead - plastics fills its body.
PROFESSOR DAVID HYRENBACH, HAWAII`S PACIFIC UNIVERSITY: So little fat ...
LAH: David Hyrenbach`s team are researching the alarming rate of debris in the birds.
HYRENBACH: So, here you see ...
LAH (on camera): Wow. It is filled with plastic.
HYRENBACH: Yes.
LAH (voice over): This is the stomach of a two-month old albatross.
(on camera): Is that part of a drain?
HYRENBACH: Maybe. Oh, it`s a brush. Look at that. You see?
LAH (voice over): About 80 percent of this baby bird stomach is indigestible plastic, (inaudible) by its parents who confused it for food.
HYRENBACH: Morally, this is terrible. How is this possible? Right? I mean majestic, far-ranging, beautiful birds, right, in a pristine place of the North Pacific, and then you open them up and this is, you know, what you find.
LAH: Hyrenbach says every single bird he`s opened up had some sort of plastic, some large ones like these toys and lighters in the adult birds.
A disaster still in the making, now widening its reach.
Environmental activists here say that there is nothing they could do about the tsunami debris. They can just clean up the beaches. But there is something the consumers could do to help them out. They see plastic bottle caps or the plastic water bottles that we use around the world. Consumers can simply use less plastic. Kyung Lah, CNN, Hawaii.
AZUZ: Our next story is something we never like to tell you about tragic car accident involving a group of teenagers. This happened in Ohio Sunday morning, there were eight teenagers packed into a SUV that was supposed to fit five. So, there weren`t seatbelts for all of them. They didn`t have permission to use the car. We are not sure what the details are on that. They were speeding down a two lane road, and they crashed into a guardrail and flipped into a pond. Police say only two of the eight people inside survived. They were able to break a window, get out of the car and run to a home nearby to call 911. Of course, the community is grieving. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This way everybody knows, you know, even if you are going through something, pick up the phone and call (ph) your family and tell them you love them.
AZUZ: The police don`t know yet as exactly how fast the teenagers were going, where they were going, or what exactly caused the SUV to crash. We do know that car crashes are the leading cause of death for teenagers in America.
When people, specifically teenagers hear stories like this, does it affect how they drive? Or are crashes something they think just happen to other people? We`d love to get your take on this at cnnstudentnews.com. Please remember, it`s first names only on our blog.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today "Shoutout" goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Razem`s English classes at Martin Behrman Charter School in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Which of these measurements is equivalent to 16 fluid ounces? You know what to do. Is it one cup, pint, quart or gallon? You`ve got three seconds, go.
One pint is the same as 16 fluid ounces. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: If you go out to eat in New York City, and want to order a soda, that`s larger than 16 ounces, you still can. A ban on large sugary drinks, ones over 16 ounces, was supposed to go into effect today. But a state judge ruled against the ban yesterday. He called it arbitrary and capricious, meaning impulsive. New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg presented this idea as the way to fight obesity and to encourage New Yorkers to leave healthier life styles.
MICHAEL BLOOMBERG, NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: There`s no downside here. What is the upside, is for everybody the cost of medical care in this country, which is going to be just bankrupt based on obesity alone, much plus all of the other problems.
AZUZ: But a majority of New Yorkers disagreed. In a "New York Times" poll last fall, 60 percent of the city`s residents said the ban was a bad idea.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It`s annoying. I believe it`s unnecessary, like there is so many other things to worry about in this city.
AZUZ: Mayor Bloomberg`s office said it`s planning to appeal the judge`s decision.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: See, if you can I.D. me. You most likely find me in Egypt, but I`ve also been discovered in South America. I was made thousands of years ago when a human body was preserved. I occasionally show up in monster movies.
I`m a mummy. And there were tens of millions of me made around the world.
AZUZ: It turns out the mummies that have been dead for thousands of years can give researchers a lot of information about medical issues that we face today. In fact, it`s because they are so old, these mummies are so valuable. A few years ago, scientists ran 137 mummies from different parts of the world through a CT scan. They found that one third of the preserved bodies had evidence of a disease called atherosclerosis. That`s when fats and cholesterol build up in the person`s arteries and it can cause problems with your blood flow. It`s a leading cause of death worldwide, and apparently, it`s been around for thousands of years. The findings were released in the study this week.
You might have gotten annoyed, or maybe just tired on Sunday when we have to set our clocks forward. For this guy, daylight saving time must be a nightmare. We`d ask you to count how many clocks you see, but we just don`t have the time. There are a thousand of them in this house. He`s been collecting them for 15 years. He says when it is time to set the clocks ahead, he doesn`t change every single one, but it still takes him a week to do it. That idea might sound cuckoo, but at least some of the clocks should be grandfathered in. Do you know how he can make his collection portable? Just watch. Show`s over already, I guess time flies when you`re having fun. Teachers, please don`t forget to give us your feedback on today`s show. We`ll make a timely return tomorrow for more CNN STUDENT NEWS. See you then.
