U.S., Israel weigh in on Iran's U.N. speech
美国以色列权衡伊朗联合国讲话
The response from Washington to Hassan Rouhani's speech at the UN --- calling the Iranian President's latest diplomatic gesture a promising first start.
华盛顿方面对鲁哈尼在联合国的讲话做出反应，认为伊朗总统表现出的外交姿态是有希望的新开始。
SOUNDBITE: White House Spokesman Jay Carney saying: "We are very interested in testing the assertions about that interest on behalf of the Iranians in resolving this conflict diplomatically."
白宫发言人卡尼(Jay Carney)：“我们非常有兴趣检测伊朗总统代表伊朗人民的利益，以外交手段解决冲突的主张。”
Carney tempered his enthusiasm adding: SOUNDBITE: White House Spokesman Jay Carney saying: "Actions are what matter and substantive negotiations over Iran's nuclear program will be the test, will provide the test over whether Iran is serious about resolving the international community's concerns and we are engaged in that process. As you know, Secretary Kerry will be with his Iranian counterpart in the P5+1 peace process this week. So, that's the beginning of what we hope will be progress towards resolving this problem."
卡尼还补充了一点。白宫发言人卡尼(Jay Carney)：“最重要的是行动。针对伊朗核项目进行实质性的谈判将是一个考验，将能体现伊朗解决国际社会担忧的问题是否严肃认真的，我们将参与这个过程。大家都知道，国务卿约翰·克里将会与伊朗同僚一起参加本周的5+1会谈。所以，我们希望这是解决这个问题的开始。”
In Jerusalem --- officials are wary of Iran's more genial public face. SOUNDBITE: Spokesperson of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mark Regev saying: "Our concern is, that the Iranian promises, the Iranian words of good faith, are in fact a smokescreen, a cover for the continuation of their aggressive nuclear programs. And what are the facts? Israel will look at what Iran does, not what it says. And we would urge the international community to do exactly the same."
在耶路撒冷，官员们对伊朗表现出的更加和蔼的公共姿态非常谨慎。以色列总理内塔尼亚胡的发言人Mark Regev表示：“我们担心的是，伊朗的承诺，伊朗关于良好意愿的词语实际上是烟幕弹，是他们继续进行核项目的掩护。真相是什么？以色列会关注伊朗的行为，而不是他们的言语。我们将会敦促国际社会也这样做。”
Iran's fist test comes later this week when U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry meets with his Iranian counterpart --- the first time in more than six years that high level officials have sat down together.
对伊朗的第一个考验将于本周末出现，美国国务卿约翰·克里将与伊朗国务卿会晤——这是六年多以来两国高级官员首次坐在一起。
Misery of Pakistan quake victims
巴基斯坦地震灾民处境堪虞
This is all that's left of Malar village after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Pakistan. Residents here represent just a handful of the thousands left homeless in Baluchistan province. Some are trying to salvage what little they can of their belongings. The memory of the quake which killed at least 327 people is unlikely to fade quickly.
这是7.7级地震袭击巴基斯坦后Malar村满地疮痍的景象。这仅仅是俾路支省成千上万无家可归者的冰山一角。一些人试图尽量挽回一些财产。造成至少327人死亡的地震的阴影不可能很快消退。
(SOUNDBITE) (Urdu) LOCAL RESIDENT, ABDUL WAHID, WHOSE HOUSE WAS DESTROYED, SAYING: "We had heard of catastrophic earthquakes, but had never seen one. It was like the apocalypse breaking over us. We had no idea what was happening to us."
房屋被毁坏的当地居民ABDUL WAHID：“我们以前听说过灾难性的地震，但是从来没有看到过。就好像世界末日向我们袭来。我们不知道发生了什么事。”
Malar is one of hundreds of such villages in the region to be devastated so completely. Initial estimates say more than 300, 000 people have been affected by the quake. Pakistan's Red Crescent Society says tens of thousands of families may have been left homeless without food or clean water.
Malar是该地区遭遇地震如此彻底毁灭的数百个村庄之一。最初估计称超过300,000人受到地震影响。巴基斯坦红新月联合会表示，成千上万的家庭无家可归，没有食物和清洁的饮用水。
Closing arguments begin in Jackson trial
杰克逊案民事审判即将结束
The Michael Jackson civil trial is coming to a close. Jackson family lawyers have started summing up their case for jurors in the negligence and wrongful death trial brought by the late King of Pop's mother, Katherine. According to Jackson family lawyer Brian Panish, the promoter of Jackson's never-realized "This Is It" concerts, AEG Live, pushed Jackson to get ready for the shows and should have done a better job vetting Conrad Murray before agreeing to let him be the star's doctor. Lawyers for AEG are expected to begin their closing Wednesday (September 25) and jury deliberations should start on Thursday (September 26).
迈克尔·杰克逊一案的民事审判即将结束。杰克逊一家的代表律师已经向陪审团概述了案情。该案件由已故流行歌王的母亲凯瑟琳递交。据杰克逊家族代表律师Brian Panish所说，杰克逊永远不能再实现的“This Is It”音乐会的主办人AEG唱片公司敦促杰克逊为演出做准备，原本应该更好地审查康拉德·莫里(Conrad Murray)再让他担任杰克逊的私人医生。AEG将于9月25日，周三开始结案陈词，陪审团将于9月26日，周四开始审议。
CCTV:李天一强奸罪名成立 被判10年监禁
17-year-old son of famous singers convicted of rape
李天一强奸罪名成立 被判10年监禁
The son of two famous Chinese singers Li Shuangjiang and Meng Ge is to spend the next 10 years in jail for rape. The sentence was announced by the Haidian District People’s Court in Beijing Thursday morning. 4 of Li’s accomplices were also given sentences that varied in length.
Being born into a privileged family didn’t guarantee this 17 year old a promising future.
He is going to spend the best part of his youth behind bars.
4 out of the 5 perpetrators are under 18. So the trial wasn’t open to the public in order to protect the minors. Apart from Li, the other 4 perpetrators are going to spend 3 to 12 years in prison. The case has drawn intense public interest from the beginning due to the Li’s family background. And online users have questioned whether the court was pressured into handing out a harsh verdict due to public anger over the crimes committed by children of the elite. The court denies such accusations.
Li’s father Li Shuangjiang is a famous singer from the People’s Liberation Army. And Li’s mother is also a singer in the PLA. The family has a strong military background. When the trial opened in late August, many people pointed their finger at his privileged background.
"Everyone is equal and the verdict should not be affected by his family background and wealth."
"The rich have many more advantages than ordinary people when it comes to situations like this."
"This is cruel. Nowadays, the rich and powerful control our society."
In fact, this is not the first time Li has gotten his family into trouble. Back in 2011, Li beat up a couple and caused injuries during a road rage incident. He was 15 at the time and did not have a driver’s licence. He was then sent to a government correctional facility for a year. His father apologised to the couple and to the public afterwards. But it seems the younger Li didn’t learn his lesson.
The court announced on its Weibo account that Li was the primary perpetrator of the gang rape case and showed no repentance. Therefore he was given the harshest sentence of the 4 under 18.

U.S. senate takes first step to avert gov’t shutdown
美国参议院采取措施防止政府关闭
U.S. budget battles have created a lot of uncertainty for the markets in the past few years. Two big budget votes are scheduled for October which will determine whether the government can pay its bills. On Wednesday, the situation became a bit clearer as the U.S. Senate voted unanimously to clear a key procedural hurdle on passing a funding bill to avert a government shutdown in six days.
Despite the overwhelming support, the legislation still faces several hurdles that must be overcome as lawmakers in both parties work to avoid a partial shutdown. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said Wednesday that the government will have exhausted its borrowing authority by October 17th, leaving the US just 30 billion dollars of cash on hand to pay its bills. To avoid a partial government shutdown, a single, agreed-upon legislation must be approved by Congress and signed by President Obama next Tuesday.
