Violence disrupts Kosovo election
暴力活动扰乱科索沃选举
Violence at polling stations in northern Kosovo has hampered council and mayoral elections in the country. A group of people wearing masks stormed into three voting centres in the ethnically divided town of Mitrovica, throwing tear gas and smashing ballot boxes. Mayoral candidate Krstimir Pantic, who himself was attacked last week, described what happened.
科索沃北部投票站发生暴力袭击，阻碍了议会和市政府选举。一些戴面具的暴动分子冲上种族分裂的米特罗维察(Mitrovica)三个投票中心，投掷催泪弹，撕毁投票箱。在上周遭遇袭击的市长候选人Krstimir Pantic描述了事发时的情况。
(SOUNDBITE) (Serbian) CANDIDATE FOR MAYOR OF MITROVICA, FROM CIVIC INITIATIVE "SRPSKA", KRSTIMIR PANTIC, SAYING: "They started smashing ballot boxes, throwing ballot papers around, insulting members of the election commission, and one older woman was seriously injured, because one of the attackers hit her with chair. We heard that one woman had also been injured,her leg was broken, and this shows the bestiality and arrogance of the attackers."
来自市政项目SRPSKA的米特罗维察市长候选人KRSTIMIR PANTIC：“他们开始撕毁投票箱，扔掉选票，侮辱选举委员会成员，一名老年妇女严重受伤，因为一名袭击者用椅子击中她的头部。我们听说还有一名女子受伤，腿部骨折，这显示了袭击者的凶残和傲慢。”
Serbia had called on Serbs in northern Kosovo to take part in the election for the first time, with the EU holding out the prospect of membership talks - slated to begin in January - as a reward for Belgrade's support for the process. But turnout by Serbian voters in the region was just seven percent- and coupled with the violence is a clear indicator of lingering resistance to integration with the rest of the country.
塞尔维亚首次呼吁科索沃北部的塞尔维亚人参加选举，欧盟提出就其成为成员国进行会谈的前景，作为贝尔格莱德支持该进程的奖励。会谈定于一月份举行。但是该地区塞尔维亚选民的投票率只有7%——再加上暴力活动，这明确显示他们抗拒与全国其他地方融合。
Kerry arrives in Saudi Arabia
国务卿克里抵达沙特阿拉伯
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry arrives in Saudi Arabia late Sunday where he was met by Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal. The kingdom has become frustrated with Washington's perceived inaction in Syria, and is concerned about its diplomatic engagement with Iran and lukewarm attitude toward the military-backed government in Egypt. A senior Saudi prince last month warned that the kingdom could "shift away" from the United States, suggesting a major strategic change after decades of close military and economic cooperation. In Washington, officials saw the threat as mostly rhetoric. Kerry will meet King Abdullah Monday.
周日晚些时候，美国国务卿约翰·克里抵达沙特阿拉伯，受到沙特外长费萨尔(Saud al-Faisal)的接见。由于华盛顿在叙利亚问题方面的不作为，沙特王国非常沮丧，而且对其外交方面干预伊朗问题，对埃及军方支持政府的冷漠态度都感到担忧。上月，一名年长沙特王子警告称，沙特王国可能会“疏远”美国，暗示经过几十年密切的军事和经济合作之后，可能会做出重大的战略变革。在华盛顿，官员们认为该威胁很大程度上是哗众取宠。克里将于周一会见国王阿卜杜拉。
Thousands protest amnesty bill
泰国数千人抗议特赦法案
Thousands gathered in the streets of Bangkok to protest the passage of a draft bill that could allow the return of polarising former Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. Members and supporters of Thailand's opposition Democrat party held signs and shouted slogans as they passed through the city centre. The group says the bill is an attempt by the ruling Puea Party and current Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Thaksin's sister, to cover up Thaksin's crimes that led to his ouster in 2006.Thaksin has been living abroad since 2008 to escape corruption charges. The bill now moves to the upper house where it will be debated before another vote.
数千人走上曼谷街头，抗议一项法案草案的通过。该法案将允许极端化的前总理他信·什纳瓦特拉(Thaksin Shinawatra)回归。泰国反对派民主党成员和支持者手持标语，高呼口号穿过市中心。该组织表示，法案是执政党泰党和现任总理，他信的姐姐颖拉(Yingluck Shinawatra)试图掩盖他信罪行的行为。由于罪行累累，他信于2006年被推翻。自2008年以来，他信一直流亡国外，逃避腐败指控。该法案已经递交上院，进行辩论之后再次投票。
CCTV:苹果新款iPad在中国上市
Apple's new iPad on sale in China
苹果新款iPad在中国上市
Apple’s fifth generation of iPad went on sale around the world Friday, including here in China. But if first day sales are any indication, the iPad Air might not be the hit previous models have been.
By 7:30 this morning, half an hour before the Apple store in downtown Huangpu District opened, there were already people waiting in line to buy the latest iPad. But the line was shorter than those for the launch of previous models, and most of the eager buyers were loyal Apple fans.
"I have an iPad4. And my girlfriend has an iPad mini. We want to buy an air today. It’s good."
The new model weighs 28 percent less than the iPad 4 and is only seven millimeters thick. But the screen size is the same.
At a digital plaza with several authorized Apple resellers, some shoppers said they are in no hurry to buy the new model.
Pierre-Armand Fievet, Shanghai Shopper, said, "What’s the reason to buy another iPad? Maybe lighter with retina screen, it’s a better screen. But my iPad is Ok. I can work and follow the news on my iPad. For me, it’s enough."
Shi Meiqin, Shanghai Shopper, said, "I will see if its function and appearance have big breakthroughs. I have Apple’s previous series. But I think the new ones in recent years didn’t have big changes, especially in its appearance."
Vendors say sales were slow this morning.
"People are more rational now compared to the times when iPad3 and iPad4 were launched. IPad is different from iPhone. It’s not necessary in life." Shanghai vendor Shi Qinxiao said.
"It’s not so popular as before. Apple has more competitors such as Samsung and Android system. They are also user-friendly and cheaper." Shanghai vendor Huang Shaodong said.
One industry expert said that the new iPad is not only lighter, but also has a faster processor and higher definition screen.
But he says that doesn’t guarantee strong sales.
"The new iPad has breakthrough in industry design, for it’s very thin, even slimmer than the utra-thin cellphones. But iPhone still has a larger market, because of the difference of the using environment and using method." Gu Weiran, Pchome. Net, said.
Gu said that the new generation iPad mini is expected to sell better, as many people prefer a smaller tablet. The iPad mini 2 with a higher-definition screen will go on sale at the end of this month.
CCTV9:以色列无人机生产激增
Israel drone manufacturing booms
以色列无人机生产激增
The Drone market is booming worldwide, moving so quickly that aviation experts predict unmanned aerial vehicle sales will soon take the largest market share of all aircraft sales. The front-running drone exporter is, surprisingly, not the U.S., it’s Israel.
In the world of new age surveillance and cutting-edge military technology, UAVs are the path of the future unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, outfitted with advanced radar, cameras, satellite communications, infrared sensors and missiles can be put to use for everything from spying on neighbor countries to executing precision hits on targets Within the realm of unmanned systems, Israel is the world’s top exporter.
A report released earlier this year by international consulting firm Frost and Sullivan cites Israel’s Unmanned Aerial System exports at four and a half billion dollars between the years 2005 to 2012. The top clients are the UK, Brazil and India.
For a tiny country - population eight million - elevated export numbers are attributed to several factors. Main competitor,the United States, probably produces more drones, but strict export limitations and internal supply demand cut down on numbers of drones being shipped out. And Israel offers potential buyers options they can’t get anywhere else.
With prohibitive price tags - 140 million dollars for this Global Hawk - interested clients can sample the technology and pay by the hour, week, month or year and return the drone when the contract expires. UAV demand is expanding, and incorporating drones in civil realms is growing. Experts say Israel’s continuous upgrade and innovation in response to market demand keeps the country’s UAV industry in a front-running, competitive slot.
The next level is domestic aviation - unmanned cargo movement and farther down the road, pilotless commercial flights.
