Drunk man climbs onto high voltage wires in China
醉酒男子爬9米高压线上演“倒挂金钩”
Nine metres high and unaware of any danger. An unidentified man, a few drinks the worse for wear, climbed onto these high-voltage wires in northern China. Hanging upside down, his antics drew a crowd in downtown Linfen in Shanxi province. The local power company was forced to cut electricity in the area. One firefighter climbed a nearby pole and tried to persuade the man to get down...but he wasn't budging. Until he suddenly fell onto a second layer of wires, where he dangled precariously for about 15 minutes before losing his strength and falling...onto an inflatable cushion. China's state TV said he wasn't injured but he did have excessive amounts of alcohol in his blood.
9米高却没意识到任何危险。在中国北部山西省临汾市区，一名身份不明的男子喝醉酒后爬上了高压电线。悬挂着身体，滑稽的动作引来了一群人观看。当地电力公司迫不得已将该地区的电停了。一消防人员爬上附近的电线杆，试图劝说男子下来，但无济于事。直到他突然掉到第二层电线上，在那里晃来晃去悬挂了约15分钟，最终因体力不支掉了下来，落在一充气垫上。中国国家电视台称该男子并没有受伤，但血液里存在过量的酒精。

Death toll rises to 270 in factory collapse
孟加拉一工厂倒塌已致270人死亡
The death toll from a building collapse in Bangladesh is rising with nearly 300 bodies pulled from the rubble so far. Friends and relatives of the hundreds of workers still unaccounted for hold pictures of their missing loved ones. More than 3000 people, mostly women, were inside the eight storey building when it collapsed earlier this week.
孟加拉一建筑发生倒塌，截止目前有近300具尸体从废墟中拖出来。数百名工人的朋友和亲人仍下落不明，人们举着照片寻找失踪的爱人。本周早些时候，这栋八层楼高的建筑倒塌时有3000多人在屋内，其中大部分是女性。
MAJOR GENERAL, HASAN WHO IS THE CHIEF OF THE RESCUE OPERATION SAYING "...the rescue operation continues, our priority is to rescue those who are alive first, and the second those who are dead, we'll look for them." The building housed several factories that make low-cost clothing for North American and European brand.. Anger over the country's poor working conditions has grown since the disaster. Hundreds of protesters wielding sticks and rocks clashed with police for a second day in the streets of Dhaka. Sixty percent of Bangladesh's garment exports go to Europe. The United States takes 23 percent and Canada takes 5 percent.
救援工作首席指挥哈桑说“…救援工作仍在继续，我们首要的任务是营救活者，然后是那些死者。我们会搜寻他们。”建筑内有好几个工厂，都是制作低价北美和欧洲品牌的衣服。灾难发生后，人们对国家恶劣工作条件的愤怒已经加剧。在达卡的街道上，数以百计的抗议者连续两天挥舞着棍棒与石块与警察发生冲突。孟加拉国的服装60%出口至欧洲，23%出口至美国，5%出口至加拿大。

Remarks by President Obama at Dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library
PRESIDENT OBAMA: Thank you so much. (Applause.) Thank you. Please be seated. To President Bush and Mrs. Bush; to President Clinton and now-former Secretary Clinton; to President George H.W. Bush and Mrs. Bush; to President and Mrs. Carter; to current and former world leaders and all the distinguished guests here today -- Michelle and I are honored to be with you to mark this historic occasion.
This is a Texas-sized party. And that’s worthy of what we’re here to do today: honor the life and legacy of the 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush.
When all the living former Presidents are together, it’s also a special day for our democracy. We’ve been called “the world’s most exclusive club” -- and we do have a pretty nice clubhouse. But the truth is, our club is more like a support group. The last time we all got together was just before I took office. And I needed that. Because as each of these leaders will tell you, no matter how much you may think you’re ready to assume the office of the presidency, it’s impossible to truly understand the nature of the job until it’s yours, until you’re sitting at that desk.
And that’s why every President gains a greater appreciation for all those who served before him; for the leaders from both parties who have taken on the momentous challenges and felt the enormous weight of a nation on their shoulders. And for me, that appreciation very much extends to President Bush.
The first thing I found in that desk the day I took office was a letter from George, and one that demonstrated his compassion and generosity. For he knew that I would come to learn what he had learned -- that being President, above all, is a humbling job. There are moments where you make mistakes. There are times where you wish you could turn back the clock. And what I know is true about President Bush, and I hope my successor will say about me, is that we love this country and we do our best.
Now, in the past, President Bush has said it’s impossible to pass judgment on his presidency while he’s still alive. So maybe this is a little bit premature. But even now, there are certain things that we know for certain.
We know about the son who was raised by two strong, loving parents in Midland, famously inheriting, as he says, “my daddy’s eyes and my mother’s mouth.” (Laughter.) The young boy who once came home after a trip to a museum and proudly presented his horrified mother with a small dinosaur tailbone he had smuggled home in his pocket. (Laughter.) I’ll bet that went over great with Barbara.
We know about the young man who met the love of his life at a dinner party, ditching his plans to go to bed early and instead talking with the brilliant and charming Laura Welch late into the night.
We know about the father who raised two remarkable, caring, beautiful daughters, even after they tried to discourage him from running for President, saying, “Dad, you’re not as cool as you think you are.” (Laughter.) Mr. President, I can relate. (Laughter.) And now we see President Bush the grandfather, just beginning to spoil his brand-new granddaughter.
So we know President Bush the man. And what President Clinton said is absolutely true -- to know the man is to like the man, because he’s comfortable in his own skin. He knows who he is. He doesn’t put on any pretenses. He takes his job seriously, but he doesn’t take himself too seriously. He is a good man.
But we also know something about George Bush the leader. As we walk through this library, obviously we’re reminded of the incredible strength and resolve that came through that bullhorn as he stood amid the rubble and the ruins of Ground Zero, promising to deliver justice to those who had sought to destroy our way of life.
We remember the compassion that he showed by leading the global fight against HIV/AIDS and malaria, helping to save millions of lives and reminding people in some of the poorest corners of the globe that America cares and that we’re here to help.
We remember his commitment to reaching across the aisle to unlikely allies like Ted Kennedy, because he believed that we had to reform our schools in ways that help every child learn, not just some; that we have to repair a broken immigration system; and that this progress is only possible when we do it together.
Seven years ago, President Bush restarted an important conversation by speaking with the American people about our history as a nation of laws and a nation of immigrants. And even though comprehensive immigration reform has taken a little longer than any of us expected, I am hopeful that this year, with the help of Speaker Boehner and some of the senators and members of Congress who are here today, that we bring it home -- for our families, and our economy, and our security, and for this incredible country that we love. And if we do that, it will be in large part thanks to the hard work of President George W. Bush. (Applause.)
And finally, a President bears no greater decision and no more solemn burden than serving as Commander-in-Chief of the greatest military that the world has ever known. As President Bush himself has said, “America must and will keep its word to the men and women who have given us so much." So even as we Americans may at times disagree on matters of foreign policy, we share a profound respect and reverence for the men and women of our military and their families. And we are united in our determination to comfort the families of the fallen and to care for those who wear the uniform of the United States. (Applause.)
On the flight back from Russia, after negotiating with Nikita Khrushchev at the height of the Cold War, President Kennedy's secretary found a small slip of paper on which the President had written a favorite saying: "I know there is a God. And I see a storm coming. If he has a place for me, I believe I am ready."
No one can be completely ready for this office. But America needs leaders who are willing to face the storm head on, even as they pray for God's strength and wisdom so that they can do what they believe is right. And that’s what the leaders with whom I share this stage have all done. That’s what President George W. Bush chose to do. That’s why I'm honored to be part of today's celebration.
Mr. President, for your service, for your courage, for your sense of humor, and, most of all, for your love of country, thank you very much. From all the citizens of the United States of America, God bless you. And God bless these United States. (Applause.)
END
