Suicide bomber kills Pakistani provincial law minister, 7 others
自杀式爆炸造成巴基斯坦官员遇难
It was supposed to be a celebration of the Muslim holiday of Eid instead it has become a time of mourning. A suicide bomber shot his way into the home of a provinical law minister in northwest Pakistan on Wednesday, as he greeted villagers. Israullah Gandapur was killed in the explosion along with seven others in a village near Dera Ismail Khan. More than 30 people were wounded. Sweets, strewn clothes and empty chairs, an overturned cot -- remnants of a party. Police now pick their way through the debris to find out who was responsible for the attack. But suspicion is likely to fall on the Taliban, who have targeted government officials. Gandapur joined the ruling provincial party led by the former cricket star Imran Khan, who is a strong proponent of peace talks with the Taliban. But several officials from Khan's party have been killed in attacks since the May election.
原本应该是穆斯林节日开斋节的庆祝时刻，却演变为哀悼的时间。周三，一名自杀式爆炸者持枪闯入巴基斯坦西北部一名省级法律官员家中。当时这位官员正在问候村民。Israullah Gandapur和其他七人一起在Dera Ismail Khan附近这个村庄的爆炸中遇难。超过30人受伤。到处是散落的糖果，跌落的服装和空空的椅子，倾覆的小屋——节日聚会后的景象。警方正在废墟中寻找线索，查找袭击责任人。但是嫌疑人可能是塔利班分子，他们曾经袭击过政府官员。Gandapur加入昔日板球明星伊姆兰·汗(Imran Khan)领导的“巴基斯坦公正运动党”，此人强烈支持与塔利班进行和谈。但是自五月份的选以来来自汗(Imran Khan)的党派的几名官员在袭击中遇难。
U.S. Congress ends debt impasse
美国国会通过协议终止债务僵局
By a vote of 285 to 144 the U.S. House of Representatives approved a deal to end a political crisis that partially shut down the federal government, and brought the world's biggest economy to the edge of a debt default. Earlier the Senate passed the measure on a 81-18 vote President Barack Obama says the government will be back in business immediately.
美国众议院以285:144的投票结果通过了一份协议，终止了一场政治危机。这场政治危机导致联邦政府部分关闭，世界上最大的经济体濒临债务违约的边缘。早些时候，参议院以81:18的投票通过了该措施，奥巴马总统表示，政府将立即开始重新运作。
SOUNDBITE: U.S. PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "Once this agreement arrives on my desk I will sign it immediately. We will begin reopening our government immediately, and we can begin to lift this cloud of uncertainty and unease from our businesses and the American people."
美国总统奥巴马：“一旦该协议送到我的办公桌，我将立即签署。我们将立即开始重新开放政府，我们将开始拨开笼罩在企业和美国民众心头不确定和不安的迷雾。”
The deal offers only a temporary fix. It funds the government until January 15, and raises the debt ceiling until February 7,so Americans face the possibility of another government shutdown early next year. Obama said he plans to speak about a path ahead on fiscal issues Thursday.
该协议只提供了暂时的解决方法，为政府提供资金直至1月15日，将债务上限提升至2月7日，这样，明年年初美国人有可能再次面临政府关闭。奥巴马表示，他准备在周四提出探讨解决财政事宜的途径。
CCTV:山航空姐飞行中玩手机被停飞
Flight attendants suspended for onboard phone use
山航空姐飞行中玩手机被停飞
Passengers on airplanes are always reminded to turn off their cellphones and other electronic gagets once the cabin is closed. But this taboo was broken recently by two flight attendants with Shandong Airlines, and the evidence captured was spread all over the internet.
For anyone who’s ever been on a commercial flight, they’ve heard repeated safety announcements from flight attendants asking passengers to turn off their mobile phones.
But it seems these two air hostesses with Shandong Airlines needed some brushing up on that basic knowledge.
One started browsing her smartphone immediately after an announcement reminded passengers not to switch on their electronic devices. Another flight attendant soon joined her and held out a newspaper to hide what they knew was wrong.
All this was captured by a concerned passenger and later posted on social media.
Many were outraged. This microblogger says trained flight attendants, most of all, should know better and lead by example.
Some see this as a lesson to be learned by all. This netizen hopes the publicity will deter people from using cellphones on planes in the future.
But there are also those who sympathize with the flight attendants. This microblogger doesn’t think it’s that big of a problem to use cell phones on planes, a statement rejected by experts.
"Cell phones are banned while on board because the radio frequency emitted by cell phones could malfunction an airplane’s equipment systems. They may affect the communication systems on board." Wang Yanan, deputy editor-in-chief of Aerospace Knowledge Magazine, said.
In response to the incident, Shandong Airlines released a statement on Monday saying the flight attendants had admitted to using a cell phone as accused of, and they had been suspended from their posts.

Maldives aims to clean up "Rubbish Island"
改变形象 马尔代夫清理垃圾岛
The Maldives is promoted as a holiday destination with an abundance of sun, sand and sea. But there’s an environmental cost to tourism. Among the country’s pristine islands there’s also one known as Rubbish Island. Authorities are now trying to clean up its image.
Around one million tourists flock to the Maldives each year. It’s a country made up of more than one thousand pristine islands. But close to the capital Male there is one place no visitor would want to go. For 20 years Thilafushi -- or Rubbish Island -- has been the nation’s main dumping ground. It’s an eyesore but also a serious ecological threat.
"All this garbage, the most serious stuff comes from electronic waste. These things are also burned or buried with the normal waste. Here we are filling the sea, a shallow area, and this garbage is being disposed in the ocean, in liquid. So it’s very easy for the heavy metals, the chemicals like lead and all the non-biodegradables to get into the ocean, into the reef around and then into the food chain." said Ali Rilwan, Environmentalist, Bluepeace Maldives.
More than 200 tonnes of rubbish are dumped on the island every day. Most is from Male but a quarter comes from the nation’s holiday resorts. Dozens of migrant workers sift through it separating what to bury from what can be burned.
"When they dump the waste, we find all the plastic items like plastic bottles and put them to one side, then everything else we pile together and set it on fire." said Mohamed Dhula Dheen, Worker from Bangladesh.
Local authorities plan to stop toxic open burning and build a cleaner incinerator on the island. They also want to reclaim land and move from seafill to landfill. They hope better waste management in Male through door-to-door collection and recycling will further help cut damage to the environment around Thilafushi.
"The island will remain as it is because it’s an industrial island and the project that is going ahead will monitor air pollution and also the sea pollution near Thilafushi Island and so no further expansion by waste will be done for Thilafushi.
In fact, if we are reclaiming, we will be doing it in an environmentally-friendly manner." said Ahmed Kareem, City Councillor, Male City.
But political upheaval following a sudden change of government last year has meant plans for the island have stalled. As the country struggles to cope safely with waste of its own, environmentalists are encouraging tourists to take their most hazardous rubbish such as batteries home.
