Bangladesh factory owner paraded before media as hope fades for survivors
搜救希望日渐渺茫 孟加拉国倒塌工厂老板示众
The owner of a factory building that collapsed in Bangladesh -- killing hundreds of workers -- is paraded in front of the media. After a four-day manhunt, Mohammed Sohel Rana was arrested as he was trying to flee to India. The death toll from the collapsed building now stands at 377 -- and it is expected to move higher. A man is consumed by grief after hearing of his daughter's death. Hundreds are still unaccounted for. Four people were pulled out alive Sunday after they were buried for almost 100 hours. On the street, outrage persists as the hope for more survivors fades.
孟加拉国一工厂倒塌致数百名工人遇难，工厂老板在媒体面前示众。经过四天的追捕，试图逃往印度的Mohammed Sohel Rana被抓。目前建筑的坍塌已致377人死亡，预计死亡人数还会上升。得知女儿遇难后一名男子痛不欲生。数百人仍下落不明。周日，在掩埋近100个小时后，四人成功获救。即使营救希望逐渐渺茫，街道上愤怒的抗议仍在继续。
Japan tests Dreamliner after ban
日本试飞停运的梦幻客机
A Japanese airline sends its first Dreamliner into the skies since a battery malfunction grounded the planes in January. All Nippon Airways was the second airline to test the Boeing 787 Dreamliner after aviation regulators gave the go ahead on Friday. The fleet was grounded three months ago after the batteries on an ANA and a Japan Airlines plane overheated. The company's president was on board the two-hour flight that took off from Tokyo Sunday, as well as Boeing CEO of Commercial Airplanes Ray Conner.
自一月因电池故障停飞以来，这是日本一航空公司首次起飞梦幻客机。周五，在获得航空监管机构允许后，全日空航空公司进行了第二次波音787梦幻客机试飞。自全日航空公司及一日本航空飞机出现电池过热以来，该型号的飞机已经禁飞了三月。周日，波音商用飞机总裁兼首席执行官搭上飞机，从东京起飞进行了两个小时的飞行（测试）。
PRESIDENT & CEO OF BOEING COMMERCIAL AIRPLANES, RAY CONNER, SAYING: "After 3 months, it's a terrific feeling to have ANA's 787 back in the air, and I am very pleased to say that it was a perfect flight on a perfect day." Boeing's battery fix has been approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. The reinforced batteries are now installed in a sealed enclosure to contain any heat, fumes or flames from overheating. ANA, which owns 17 of the 50 Dreamliners in circulation, plans more than 200 test flights through May before resuming commercial operations in June.
波音商用飞机总裁兼首席执行官RAY CONNER说：“历经三月，全日本航空公司的波音787客机重返天空，我感觉棒极了，我很高兴的说，这是完美的一天，完美的飞行。”波音的电池修复已得到美国联邦航空管理局的通过。现在，加固的电池安装在了一个密封的盒子内，以防止任何热量、烟雾或火焰引发的过热。全日本航空公司拥有投入使用的50架梦幻客机中的17架，在6月份投入商业运营前，公司计划进行超过200次的飞行测试。
"Bang, bang, bang" - witness to the shooting in Italy
“砰、砰、砰”—见证意大利枪击案
The investigation begins after two police officers are shot outside the Prime Ministers' office in Rome on the day a new Italian government is sworn in. Freelance cameraman Simone Bianchi said he heard two gunshots and saw a man dressed in a gray suit shooting at a policeman.
意大利新政府宣誓就职之日，在罗马总理办公室外两名警察被枪击，案件调查已经展开。自由职业摄影师西蒙尼·比安奇说，他听到了两声枪响，然后看见一名身穿灰色西装的男子向一名警察开枪。
EYEWITNESS, ITALIAN FREELANCE CAMERAMAN, SIMONE BIANCHI, SAYING: "No, I didn't hear anything before he started shooting. I was about 20 to 25 meters from him. The only thing, basically, I saw was this man who was shooting, bang, bang, bang." The shooting came as Enrico Letta's new government was being sworn in less than a mile away at the President's palace. Ansa journalist Federico Garimberti was also at the scene when the shooting happened.
目击者意大利的自由职业摄影师西蒙尼·比安奇说：“不，在开枪前我没有听到任何声响。我离他大约20到25米。说实话，我那时就只看见他在开枪，砰、砰、砰。”案发之时，在距离不到一英里外的总统大殿，恩里科·莱塔领导的新届政府正在宣誓就职。事发当时，安莎通讯社记者 Federico Garimberti也在现场。
ANSA JOURNALIST, ENRICO GARIMBERTI, SAYING: "It is still too early to say if this is a gesture from an unstable person or if this has been influenced by the political climate but certainly the first day of the government couldn't start in a worse way." Forensic teams continued to gather evidence, trying to find a possible motive for the shooting. Italy's new Interior Minister says it was an isolated act. One police officer was shot in the neck and is in a serious condition. The other officer was hit in the leg. Italian media said a passer-by had also been injured but not seriously. An unemployed man in his 40s was arrested following the shooting.
安莎通讯社记者Garimberti说：“现在说案件是情绪失常者所为，还是受到政治气候的影响都为时过早。但毫无疑问，新届政府的第一天开始的太糟糕了。”法医团队继续搜集证据，试图找到枪击的可能动机。意大利新内政部长称此时事件是孤立的。一名警察被击中颈部，目前情况严重，另一名被击中腿部。意大利媒体称一位路人也受了伤，但伤势不重。枪击事件发生后，一名40多岁的失业男子被逮捕。

Looted bronzes to be returned to China
法国家族归还圆明园十二生肖鼠首兔首
The family that runs French luxury-goods conglomerate Kering has offered to return a pair of looted Qing dynasty bronzes to China.
The pieces to be returned are the bronze heads of a rat and rabbit. The Pinault family bought the two bronzes during an auction in Paris in 2009. They are among the 12 animal heads that were looted from the old Summer Palace in Beijing by French and British troops in 1860 during the Second Opium War.
So far, five are in China, and five are still missing. China has welcomed the donation by the Pinault family. Officials said the offer was an expression of friendship toward the Chinese people. Pinault made the offer as he was traveling in China with French President Francois Hollande on a visit to strengthen economic ties.
2013白宫记者协会晚宴 奥巴马爆笑演讲
Remarks by The President at The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner
2013白宫记者协会晚宴 奥巴马爆笑演讲
【无字幕版】
【中英双语版】
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you, everybody. (Laughter.) How do you like my new entrance music? (Applause.) Rush Limbaugh warned you about this -- second term, baby. (Laughter and applause.) We’re changing things around here a little bit. (Laughter.)
Actually, my advisors were a little worried about the new rap entrance music. (Laughter.) They are a little more traditional. They suggested that I should start with some jokes at my own expense, just take myself down a peg. I was like, guys, after four and a half years, how many pegs are there left? (Laughter.)
I want to thank the White House Correspondents. Ed, you’re doing an outstanding job. We are grateful for -- (applause) -- the great work you’ve done. To all the dignitaries who are here, everybody on the dais -- I especially want to say thank you to Ray Odierno, who does outstanding service on behalf of our country, and all our men and women in uniform every single day. (Applause.)
And of course, our extraordinary First Lady, Michelle Obama. (Applause.) Everybody loves Michelle. (Laughter.) She’s on the cover of Vogue, high poll numbers. But don’t worry -- I recently got my own magazine cover. (Laughter.)
Now, look, I get it. These days, I look in the mirror and I have to admit, I’m not the strapping young Muslim socialist that I used to be. (Laughter.) Time passes. You get a little gray. (Laughter.)
And yet, even after all this time, I still make rookie mistakes. Like, I’m out in California, we’re at a fundraiser, we’re having a nice time. I happen to mention that Kamala Harris is the best-looking attorney general in the country. (Laughter.) As you might imagine, I got trouble when I got back home. (Laughter.) Who knew Eric Holder was so sensitive? (Laughter and applause.)
And then there’s the Easter Egg Roll, which is supposed to be just a nice, fun event with the kids. I go out on the basketball court, took 22 shots -- made two of them. (Laughter.) That’s right: two hits, 20 misses. The executives at NBC asked, “What’s your secret?” (Laughter and applause.)
So, yes, maybe I have lost a step. But some things are beyond my control. For example, this whole controversy about Jaz-Z going to Cuba -- it’s unbelievable. I’ve got 99 problems and now Jay-Z is one. (Laughter and applause.) That’s another rap reference, Bill. (Laughter.) I’ll let you know. (Applause.)
Of course, everybody has got plenty of advice. Maureen Dowd said I could solve all my problems if I were just more like Michael Douglas in “The American President.” (Laughter.) And I know Michael is here tonight. Michael, what’s your secret, man? (Laughter.) Could it be that you were an actor in an Aaron Sorkin liberal fantasy? (Laughter.) Might that have something to do with it? (Applause.) I don’t know. Check in with me. Maybe it’s something else. (Laughter.)
Anyway, I recognize that this job can take a toll on you. I understand -- second term, you need a burst of new energy, try some new things. And my team and I talked about it. We were willing to try anything. So we borrowed one of Michelle’s tricks. (Laughter and applause.) I thought this looked pretty good, but no bounce. (Laughter.)
I want to give a shout-out to our headliner, Conan O’Brien. (Applause.) I was just talking to Ed, and I understand that when the Correspondents’ Association was considering Conan for this gig, they were faced with that age-old dilemma: Do you offer it to him now, or wait for five years and then give it to Jimmy Fallon? (Laughter.) That was a little harsh. (Laughter.) I love Conan.
And of course, the White House press corps is here. I know CNN has taken some knocks lately, but the fact is I admire their commitment to cover all sides of a story, just in case one of them happens to be accurate. (Laughter and applause.)
Some of my former advisors have switched over to the dark side. For example, David Axelrod now works for MSNBC, which is a nice change of pace since MSNBC used to work for David Axelrod. (Laughter.)
The History Channel is not here. I guess they were embarrassed about the whole Obama-is-a-devil thing. (Laughter.) Of course, that never kept Fox News from showing up. (Laughter.) They actually thought the comparison was not fair -- to Satan. (Laughter and applause.)
But the problem is, is that the media landscape is changing so rapidly. You can’t keep up with it. I mean, I remember when BuzzFeed was just something I did in college around 2:00 a.m. (Laughter.) It’s true. (Laughter.)
Recently, though, I found a new favorite source for political news -- these guys are great. I think everybody here should check it out, they tell it like it is. It’s called whitehouse.gov. (Laughter.) I cannot get enough of it.
The fact is I really do respect the press. I recognize that the press and I have different jobs to do. My job is to be President; your job is to keep me humble. Frankly, I think I’m doing my job better. (Laughter and applause.)
But part of the problem is everybody is so cynical. I mean, we’re constantly feeding cynicism, suspicion, conspiracies. You remember a few months ago, my administration put out a photograph of me going skeet shooting at Camp David? You remember that? And quite a number of people insisted that this had been photoshopped. But tonight I have something to confess: You were right. Guys, can we show them the actual photo? (Laughter.) We were just trying to tone it down a little bit. (Laughter.) That was an awesome day. (Laughter.)
There are other new players in the media landscape as well, like super PACs. Did you know that Sheldon Adelson spent $100 million of his own money last year on negative ads? You’ve got to really dislike me -- (laughter) -- to spend that kind of money. I mean, that’s Oprah money. (Laughter.) You could buy an island and call it “Nobama” for that kind of money. (Laughter.) Sheldon would have been better off offering me $100 million to drop out of the race. (Laughter and applause.) I probably wouldn’t have taken it, but I'd have thought about it. (Laughter.) Michelle would have taken it. (Laughter.) You think I’m joking? (Laughter.)
I know Republicans are still sorting out what happened in 2012, but one thing they all agree on is they need to do a better job reaching out to minorities. And look, call me self-centered, but I can think of one minority they could start with. (Laughter.) Hello? Think of me as a trial run, you know? (Laughter.) See how it goes. (Laughter.)
If they won’t come to me, I will come to them. Recently, I had dinner -- it’s been well publicized -- I had dinner with a number of the Republican senators. And I’ll admit it wasn’t easy. I proposed a toast -- it died in committee. (Laughter.)
Of course, even after I've done all this, some folks still don’t think I spend enough time with Congress. "Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell?" they ask. Really? (Laughter.) Why don’t you get a drink with Mitch McConnell? (Laughter and applause.) I'm sorry. I get frustrated sometimes.
I am not giving up. In fact, I'm taking my charm offensive on the road -- a Texas barbeque with Ted Cruz, a Kentucky bluegrass concert with Rand Paul, and a book-burning with Michele Bachmann. (Laughter and applause.)
My charm offensive has helped me learn some interesting things about what's going on in Congress -- it turns out, absolutely nothing. (Laughter.) But the point of my charm offensive is simple: We need to make progress on some important issues. Take the sequester. Republicans fell in love with this thing, and now they can't stop talking about how much they hate it. It's like we're trapped in a Taylor Swift album. (Laughter.)
One senator who has reached across the aisle recently is Marco Rubio, but I don’t know about 2016. I mean, the guy has not even finished a single term in the Senate and he thinks he's ready to be President. (Laughter and applause.) Kids these days.
I, on the other hand, have run my last campaign. On Thursday, as Ed mentioned, I went to the opening of the Bush Presidential Library in Dallas. It was a wonderful event, and that inspired me to get started on my own legacy, which will actually begin by building another edifice right next to the Bush Library -- can we show that, please? (Laughter.)
I'm also hard at work on plans for the Obama Library. And some have suggested that we put it in my birthplace, but I'd rather keep it in the United States. (Laughter.) Did anybody not see that joke coming? (Laughter.) Show of hands. Only Gallup? Maybe Dick Morris? (Laughter and applause.)
Now, speaking of presidents and their legacies, I want to acknowledge a wonderful friend, Steven Spielberg, and Daniel Day-Lewis, who are here tonight. (Applause.) We had a screening of their most recent film, Lincoln, which was an extraordinary film. I am a little nervous, though, about Steven's next project. I saw a behind-the-scenes look on HBO -- well, let's just check it out. Roll the tape.
(Video is shown.) (Laughter and applause.)
It's a remarkable transformation. Do I really sound like that, though, honey? (Laughter.)
Groucho Marx once said -- and, Senator Cruz, that’s Groucho Marx, not Karl. That’s the other guy. (Laughter.) Groucho Marx once told an audience, "Before I speak, I have something important to say." (Laughter.) And along those same lines, I want to close on a more serious note.
Obviously, there has been no shortage of news to cover over these past few weeks. And these have been some very hard days for too many of our citizens. Even as we gather here tonight, our thoughts are not far from the people of Boston and the people of West, Texas. There are families in the Midwest who are coping with some terrible floods. So we've had some difficult days.
But even when the days seemed darkest, we have seen humanity shine at its brightest. We've seen first responders and National Guardsmen who have dashed into danger, law enforcement officers who lived their oath to serve and to protect, and everyday Americans who are opening their homes and their hearts to perfect strangers.
And we also saw journalists at their best -- especially those who took the time to wade upstream through the torrent of digital rumors to chase down leads and verify facts and painstakingly put the pieces together to inform, and to educate, and to tell stories that demanded to be told.
If anyone wonders, for example, whether newspapers are a thing of the past, all you needed to do was to pick up or log on to papers like the Boston Globe. (Applause.) When their communities and the wider world needed them most, they were there making sense of events that might at first blush seem beyond our comprehension. And that’s what great journalism is, and that’s what great journalists do. And that’s why, for example, Pete Williams' new nickname around the NBC newsroom is "Big Papi." (Applause.)
And in these past few weeks, as I've gotten a chance to meet many of the first responders and the police officers and volunteers who raced to help when hardship hits, I was reminded, as I'm always reminded when I meet our men and women in uniform, whether they're in war theater, or here back home, or at Walter Reed in Bethesda -- I'm reminded that all these folks, they don’t do it to be honored, they don’t do it to be celebrated. They do it because they love their families and they love their neighborhoods and they love their country.
And so, these men and women should inspire all of us in this room to live up to those same standards; to be worthy of their trust; to do our jobs with the same fidelity, and the same integrity, and the same sense of purpose, and the same love of country. Because if we're only focused on profits or ratings or polls, then we're contributing to the cynicism that so many people feel right now. (Applause.)
And so, those of us in this room tonight, we are incredibly lucky. And the fact is, we can do better -- all of us. Those of us in public office, those of us in the press, those who produce entertainment for our kids, those with power, those with influence -- all of us, including myself, we can strive to value those things that I suspect led most of us to do the work that we do in the first place -- because we believed in something that was true, and we believed in service, and the idea that we can have a lasting, positive impact on the lives of the people around us.
And that’s our obligation. That’s a task we should gladly embrace on behalf of all of those folks who are counting on us; on behalf of this country that’s given us so much.
So thank you all, to the White House Correspondents for the great work you do. God bless you all. May God bless the United States of America.
END
