FBI doing it's job: Obama
奥巴马称美国联邦调查局恪尽职守
U.S. President Barack Obama told reporters the FBI and other government agencies have been on track in their investigations of the Boston Marathon bombing.
美国总统奥巴马告诉记者，联邦调查局和其它政府机构一直都在跟踪调查波士顿马拉松爆炸案。
U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "What I can say is that based on what I've seen so far, the FBI performed its duties, Department of Homeland Security did what it was supposed to be doing, but this is hard stuff." As the investigation continues, FBI officials were seen taking potential evidence from the home of the parents of Katherine Russell, the widow of one of the suspected bombers. 24 year old Russell- seen here in black- was married to Tamerlan Tsarnaev who was killed by police. His brother, 19 year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is currently in a prison hospital near Boston. Three people died and more than 200 were injured in the April 15th attack after homemade explosive devices were detonated near the finish line of the Boston Marathon
美国总统奥巴马说：“我能说的是，到目前为止根据我的了解，美国联邦调查局执行了它的职责，国土安全部做了它应该做的事情，但这是件棘手的事。”随着调查继续展开，联邦调查局将视线转移到一爆炸案嫌犯遗孀Katherine Russell父母的家中，以寻找潜在的证据。24岁的Russell（画面上身穿着黑色衣服）是已被警方击毙的Tamerlan Tsarnaev的妻子。他的弟弟，19岁的Dzhokhar Tsarnaev目前正在波士顿附近的监狱医院。4月15日波士顿马拉松比赛终点线处自制炸弹的爆炸导致3人死亡，200多人受伤。
Assad urges his supporters to "remain fearless"
阿萨德敦促他的支持者“依然无惧”
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad chose to mark May Day with a visit to a power plant in Damascus. In the video released by Syrian TV, he appears relaxed, shaking hands with employees and touring the facility. He also commented on a bomb blast in center of the capital, which is under government control, that killed 13 people on Tuesday.
五一国际劳动节，叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德选择访问大马士革的一发电厂。从叙利亚电视台播放的视频可以看出，阿萨德显得很放松，与员工握手，并参观了电厂设备。他同样还指责周二发生在政府管制下位于首都中心的炸弹爆炸案，爆炸致13人死亡。
Syrian President Bashar al Assad saying (Arabic) "We will not be afraid. Did you see the reaction of people in Damascus yesterday? They came out in an unorganized protest and they could have been attacked with a second car bomb. We are now all standing in defiance, this is a challenge of whether we will cower in fear or remain fearless. We will not be afraid. They want us to live underground but we will remain above it and nobody will die until their time comes." State TV also reported that 70 people were wounded in Tuesday's bombing -- calling it an attack by "terrorists" fighting to overthrow Assad.
叙利亚总统巴沙尔·阿萨德说(阿拉伯语)：“我们不会害怕。昨天你看到大马士革人民的反应吗？没有任何人组织，他们在抗议，他们可能面临第二个汽车炸弹袭击。现在我们都在公然抗议，这是关及我们是选择恐惧畏缩还是依然无惧。我们不会害怕。他们想置我们于死地，但我们仍将继续生活，时候未到没人会死去。”国家电视台还报道，周二的爆炸袭击中有70人受伤，并称这是“恐怖分子”推翻阿萨德的袭击。
Russians mark Labour Day with marches
俄罗斯人游行过劳动节
Thousands of Russian Communists took to the streets of Moscow on Wednesday in a Labour Day march tinged with nostalgia. In the shadow of Soviet Union founder, Vladimir Lenin, many looked back fondly on the Soviet era as a period of stability. Taking part in the march, Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov said the country's future depended on people taking to the streets to make their voices heard. In a separate rally, Nationalists gathered to highlight concerns over immigrants, who they accused of undercutting Russian wages.
周三劳动节，数千名俄罗斯共产党人走上莫斯科街头，缅怀过去。在苏联创始人列宁雕像附近，许多人深情怀念苏联稳定的时代。参加游行的共产党领导人Gennady Zyuganov说这个国家的未来取决于人民走上街头，表达他们的心声。在另一个集会上，民族主义者将焦点聚集在移民上，他们指责移民减少了俄罗斯人的收入。
CHAIRMAN OF RUSSKIE NATIONALIST MOVEMENT SUPERVISORY BOARD ALEXANDER BELOV, SAYING: "Today is the national Labour Day, it's a holiday. The biggest difference from the left's (Communists) May 1 is that we we don't think that Russia is for all, but that it is, first and foremost for Russians. We don't want crowds of immigrants. Our people have to work for decent pay, our young people should be able to buy a flat, start a family."
俄罗斯民族主义运动主席亚历山大别洛夫说：“今天是国家劳动节，这是一个假日。这与左翼(共产党)五一的最大区别是，我们不认为俄罗斯要为了所有人服务，它首先要为俄罗斯人服务。我们不希望有大量的移民。我们自己的人民要有体面的收入，我们年轻人要买房，要有家庭。”
Russia attracts millions of migrants from former Soviet Union states, but they often become targets of xenophobic attacks.
俄罗斯吸引了数以百万的前苏联国家移民者，但是他们通常被成为仇外袭击的目标。
CCTV:郭美美炫富与中国红十字会 透支慈善信任
Review of multiple scandals faced by Chinese charities
郭美美炫富与中国红十字会 透支慈善信任
For more on the scandals faced by the China Red Cross and the troubled Chinese charities as a whole, we're joined by our reporter Li Kefu in the studio.
Q1: Could you give us more details of the multiple scandals concerning the China Red Cross and other Chinese charities in the past months?
A: Yes. The scandals you mentioned about the China Red Cross and other Chinese charities have all became eye-catching news for the public across the country. It start after the "Guo Meomei" incident in June. Guo Memei, a 21 year old woman become famous after she showed off her personal wealth on Weibo, China's popular micro-blog.
Showing off your fancy cars, houses and designer clothes to others so as to boost your ego may not seem unusual for some of China's new rich, but Guomeimei claims herself to be the " General manager of the Red Cross Chamber of Commerce" to raise her online social position. It's this type of behavior that caused a huge firestorm towards both her and the Red Cross from the public. The worst part is, it triggered a wave of boycotts of charity donation to the Red Cross in China.
Although Guomeimmei admitted that she does not know any staff from the Red Cross, but it's of little help in rebuilding the profile of China's Red Cross. The damage is done.
It never rains but it pours. Just weeks after the cooling off of the Guo Meimei case, web users have found another target. Miss Lu, 26, is reportedly the executive chairman of the so called China-Africa Project Hope, a charity that is claiming to build 1,000 primary schools in Africa over the next years.
But people have raised many suspicions on the transparency of her charity and especially a 10% commission she claims from donations as "management fee". Whether it's fair or not, she was soon nicknamed "Lu Meimei" after the first case - Another blow to troubled Chinese charities.
Actually, two months before the Guo Meimei and Lu Meimei incident, The Shanghai Red Cross was already exposed by a micro-blog. The Shanghai branch of the China's Red Cross spent nearly ten thousand yuan for a dinner for just 17 people at an upscale restaurant. And the invoice for this expensive dinner was posted online by someone. One could imagine the outrage from the public.
These scandals have severely damaged the reputation of China's Red Cross and other Chinese charity organizations. Many have learned a lesson. I guess we also learned the power of so called micro-blogs.
CNN学生新闻:美官员称在叙发现使用化学武器证据
U.S. Officials Say They Have Evidence of Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria
美国官员称在叙利亚找到使用化学武器证据
CARL AZUZ, CNN ANCHOR: A conservation clean up project and an accidental scholarship offer. That`s coming up this Thursday on CNN STUDENT NEWS. But our first story involves the civil war in Syria. U.S. officials say they have evidence that chemical weapons have been used in Syria, but they don`t know how they were used, when they were used or which side used them. President Obama said those details need to be sorted out.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: The use of chemical weapons would be a game changer. Not simply for the United States, but for the international community. We`ve got to do everything we can to investigate and establish with some certainty what exactly has happened in Syria, what is happening in Syria. When I`m making decisions about America`s national security and the potential for taking additional action in response to chemical weapon use, I`ve got to make sure I`ve got the facts.
TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Chemical weapons can be deployed any number of ways: they can be introduced intro food or water. They can be sprayed from airplanes, they can even be launched as artillery shells. For example, this liquid poison would be blasted off, it would hit the ground as the liquid spread out it will turn into a gas that would simply affect everything in the region. That`s what they believe happened in several towns here in Syria. But here`s the insidious thing: if we`re really talking about sarin gas, it is colorless, it is odorless, and it has no taste, so that people who are under attack would not even know it was happening to them. But they might now the symptoms, because they could come on almost immediately. Remember, this was developed as a pesticide. And this is what it does to humans: it causes blurred vision, rapid breathing, heavy sweating, confusion, headaches, nausea and at the very worst cases, convulsions, paralysis and death. What it`s doing is attacking the nervous system. It`s essentially shutting your body down. That`s what kills people, and why this is considered such a bad thing. But there is a trick to all of this: the trick is even if you had a massive rocket barrage of sarin gas, you wouldn`t necessarily know that that`s what happened, because even though it is lethal, it`s not long lasting, it disperses very quickly. So while investigators now think - think they have some evidence that the Assad regime used sarin gas on people there, they would have to work very hard to establish concrete proof.
AZUZ: Next today: new developments in the Boston marathon bombing investigation. Yesterday authorities announced that three additional suspects were in custody. They are friends of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect from last month terror bombings. The man in the gray hoodie is Tsarnaev. The two people to his left are Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev. They are from Kazakhstan. They came to the U.S. on student visas. The third new suspect is Robel Philippos. He is a U.S. citizen. These three aren`t suspects in the actual bombing. The charges they are facing suggest they are accused of helping the suspected bombers after the attack. And officials told CNN that the two Kazakhs are suspected of taking things from Tsarnaev`s dorm room and then throwing them in the dumpster. The third suspect has been charged with making false statements to law enforcement officials during a terrorism investigation.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Today "Shoutout" goes out to Mr. Shivnen`s, Mrs. Hill`s and Mrs. Daman`s social studies classes at Romulus High School in Romulus, Michigan.
Which of these rivers is longest? You know what to do? Is it the Ganges, Mississippi, Euphrates or Thames? You`ve got three seconds, go!
The longest here is the Mississippi stretching around 2300 miles from Minnesota down to the Gulf of Mexico. That`s your answer and that`s your "Shoutout."
AZUZ: When Chad Pregracke was a teenager, he had a job diving for shelves in the Mississippi. But he started noticing other things in the water like pianos, hot tubs, tractors, school buses. He decided to do something about this: the first year he pulled around 45,000 pounds of trash out of the river. 15 year later, his organization has removed more than 7 million pounds of debris, and that`s why he`s one of this year`s CNN heroes.
CHAD PREGRACKE, DEFENDING THE PLANET: 67,000 tires. 951 refrigerators. 233 stoves. It`s crazy what you find in the rivers.
I grew up around the Mississippi River. Around the age of 17, I really started to focus on the problem. 18 million people get their daily drinking water from the river. I`m thinking this shouldn`t be like this.
This stuff just collects here and it goes on for blocks like this. It`s a bad deal.
I said, you know what? If no one`s going to do anything about it, I will.
I`m Chad Pregracke with help of over 70,000 volunteers. We`ve removed over 7 million pounds of garbage from America`s rivers.
You guys ready?
AUDIENCE: Yes!
PREGRACKE: Yeah!
My primary focus is the Mississippi River.
You guys will be amazed, in two hours how much stuff we get.
In all, we`ve worked on 22 rivers in 18 states. We do everything in our power to get people excited about it, because at the end of the day it`s just you`re out there picking up garbage.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Did you just find a basketball?
PREGRACKE: It`s yours.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Can I have it? OK.
PREGRACKE: It`s totally yours.
Little by little, we`re getting it.
But you`re having fun? Fun.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (inaudible) pretty sure that I didn`t think I would be singing karaoke on the boat.
PREGRACKE: People want to see change and they`re stepping up to make change.
That was the last bag! Come on! Let`s get it out! Yeah!
PREGRACKE: This is a problem that people created. And a problem that people can fix.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This says, congratulations. We`re very pleased to inform you of your selection.
AZUZ: Kristen Cotton said she almost cried when she read that letter. It was for one of her students Torrean Johnson. It said he was given a full college scholarship from a program she`d nominated him for.
TORREAN JOHNSON, HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: For a second, I was completely just - that was utter joy. And then I looked up on my email and it turned out I didn`t really get it.
AZUZ: It turned out the letter was a mistake. Someone who worked at the scholarship program`s office accidentally sent it to Torrean`s teacher and 275 other applicants. The Gates Millennium Scholar program has apologized, says it`s deeply embarrassed. Torrean is fourth in his class. He`s student body president and made it to the state jazz band competition. He`s getting other scholarship offers, but none as good as this one. Torrean says he`ll find another way to achieve his goal of becoming a doctor. He says he`ll learn from his disappointment and move on. He seems to be handling this well. But how would you react if something like it happen to you? That`s what we are talking about on our Facebook page. If you`re on Facebook, find us at Facebook.com/cnnstudentnews.
That`s where we asked about media coverage, specifically, how the media handled the Jason Collins story. Eleesa thinks, "It`s great how they handled it. People should be able to be themselves and not get judged, which is what the media shows."
From Tyler. "Tim Tebow: I`m a Christian. Media: Keep it to yourself. Jason Collins: I`m gay. Media: This man`s a hero."
Kendra believes, this shouldn`t be talked about at all, it`s none of our business, it`s his life.
Andrew says, "Big deal, he`s gay. Who cares?"
J`mya wrote, "In the next couple of years, this kind of news will be normal."
Caiti says, "Positive attention is good and could encourage others to come out as well, but too much attention could be unwanted for something as personal as sexual orientation."
Austin thought the coverage was good. "It makes me proud of my country to know that the media didn`t make a big deal about it."
And from Joshua: "The media goes for things that will make Americans reach for the tissues and other human interest stories, not things that will change the way they live."
Lastly today, the hiccups. You can get them after a big meal, you can get them after something exciting happens. Fortunately, they usually last just a few minutes. In rare cases, for months, in the cases of really bad timing, they can last throughout a live weather forecast.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JEANNE MOOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Talk about high pressure. There`s never a good time for hiccups, but this was a bad one.
DAVID PAUL, KHOU 11 NEWS METEOROLOGIST: ... showers and a couple of thunderstorms.
MOOS: When KHOU meteorologist David Paul started his forecast for the Houston area, he hoped it was just a passing hiccup.
PAUL: Once you get outside the Beltway - really, it`s highway 6 ...
MOOS: But the involuntary contractions of the diaphragm continued ...
PAUL: (inaudible) - excuse me. I have the hiccups, of course.
MOOS: David told us he`d been having bouts of hiccups all day, but usually they stop when the red light on the camera comes on.
PAUL: Having some redevelopment of thunderstorms right in here, excuse me.
It was the most helpless feeling I`ve ever had on live TV.
And had some rain shower developing as well.
I did put a storm tracker on this.
MOOS: What we need is a hiccup tracker.
In a forecast that lasted about three minutes.
PAUL: Look--
MOOS: We counted a total of 14 hiccups and seven excuse me`s.
Even a drink of water didn`t help.
PAUL: Thank you. I appreciate it.
MOOS: But at least he`s getting praised for soldiering through and maintaining his dignity, all those hiccups ...
PAUL: Are compared to ...
MOOS: Are nothing to sneeze at.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (sneezing)
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Here we go.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Wow. That`s a first..
AZUZ: You expect to get some attention when you go in front of a camera, but for that meteorologist, hiccup runneth over.
I enjoyed meeting the students of White County (ph) who visited CNN yesterday. Hopes you all will be back here tomorrow.
END
