France shooting suspect held
法国枪击案嫌犯落网 曾卷入谋杀案
French police have arrested the man they believe was the shooter in this terrifying security camera video. The suspect's been named as Abdelhakim Dekhar. Some sources say he was found in his car parked in a Paris suburb. A second source said he was thought to be on medication and not in a state to be questioned. A photographer's assistant was seriously wounded in the shooting at the offices of the left-wing Liberation newspaper on Monday. Shortly afterwards shots were fired into the lobby at the headquarters of a major bank although no-one was wounded in that attack. The gunman escaped after hijacking a car atgunpoint. The French interior minister said later Dekhar had links to a couple involved in a deadly shootout with police in Paris in 1994. Three police officers and a taxi driver were killed in what became known as the Rey-Maupin affair. The killers used a gun bought by Dekhar who was given a four-year jail term because of it.
法国警方逮捕了这名男子，他们相信他就是这个可怕的安全摄像头视频中的枪手。嫌疑人的名字是阿贝德哈金·德哈(Abdelhakim Dekhar)。一些消息来源称，他在停在巴黎郊外的汽车上被发现。又有消息来源称，他当时可能服用了药物，不能接受审问。周一，在左翼《解放报》办公室的枪击案中，一名摄影师助理受重伤。不久之后，一家大银行总部大厅又发生枪击案，幸好无人在袭击中受伤。随后枪手持枪劫持了一辆汽车逃跑。法国内政部长随后表示，德哈与1994年一对夫妇在巴黎与警方进行致命枪战一案有关。在这次雷伊-莫潘事件中，3名警察和一名出租车司机遇难。枪手们使用的枪是由德哈购买的，他因此被判四年的监禁。
Birth of an island
日本海底火山喷发形成新岛屿
A new island emerges from the waves to join Japan's southern Ogasawara chain. The island was created by an erupting undersea volcano filmed by the Japanese coast guard. It's just 200 metres in diameter but the powerful eruption sent plumes of smoke almost 600 metres into the air. Japan's government spokesman welcomed the arrival of the new territory but said it was too early to consider naming it.
一座新的岛屿浮出海面，加入小笠原群岛的行列。这座小岛是由于海底火山喷发出现的，日本海岸警卫队将其拍摄下来。这座小岛直径只有200米，但是强力的火山喷发向空中喷出接近600米的烟雾。日本政府发言人对这片新的领土的出现表示欢迎，但是却表示现在命名还为时过早。
(SOUNDBITE)(Japanese) JAPANESE CHIEF CABINET SECRETARY YOSHIHIDE SUGA SAYING: "In the past there have been such instances but those islands caused by an undersea volcano then sank again so we'll be watching to see what happens."
日本内阁官房长官菅义伟(Yoshihide Suga)：“以前曾经有过先例，但是那些由于海底火山喷发出现的岛屿后来又沉没了，所以我们将观察后续情况。”
If the new arrival survives it'll join Japan's estimated 6,000 islands. It would technically be part of Tokyo even though it's more than 1,000 kilometres away.
如果这个新的岛屿能够留存下来，它将加入日本大约6,000个岛屿的行列，隶属东京的范围，尽管距离超过1,000千米。
Western powers, Iran meet in Geneva for fresh round of talks
西方国家与伊朗在日内瓦会晤
Like clockwork, representatives for the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and Iran meet in Geneva for another round of talks. Once again, the subject of those talks... negotiating a deal to curb Iran's nuclear program. EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohamad Javad Zarif met Wednesday afternoon. And Ashton's spokesman, Michael Mann, told journalists that their positive meeting showed a commitment to reaching a deal.
来自欧盟，美国，俄罗斯，中国和伊朗的代表们在日内瓦举行会晤，进行新一轮的会谈。会谈的话题仍然是协商抑制伊朗核项目的协议。欧盟外交政策主管凯瑟琳·阿什顿(Catherine Ashton)和伊朗外交部长扎里夫(Mohammad Javad Zarif)于周三下午会面。阿什顿的发言人曼恩(Michael Mann)告诉记者，他们积极的会晤显示了达成协议的决心。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SPOKESMAN FOR EU FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF CATHERINE ASHTON, MICHAEL MANN, SAYING: "High Representative Ashton has come here determined to make further progress to drive the process forward. The fact that these talks are so soon after the last round is, I think, a sign of the seriousness of the negotiations."
欧盟外交政策主管凯瑟琳·阿什顿的发言人曼恩(Michael Mann)：“高级代表阿什顿已经抵达这里，决心取得新的进展，推动会谈进程。继上一轮会谈之后这么快就举行新一轮会谈，我认为，这是谈判严肃性的征兆。”
Diplomats close to the negotiations say Western powers are close to winning concessions from Iran in exchange for some sanctions relief. Still, Mann admits the talks could drag on.
了解谈判的外交官们表示，西方国家很快将会赢得伊朗的妥协，条件是放松制裁。然而，曼恩承认会谈可能还会拖延很长时间。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) SPOKESMAN FOR EU FOREIGN POLICY CHIEF CATHERINE ASHTON, MICHAEL MANN, SAYING: "There has never been a deadline. We have made a great deal of progress in the last two rounds and we hope to continue that progress in this round. I mean, I can say it again, we just want to reach an agreement as quickly as we can but it has to be the right agreement, therefore it will take as long as it takes. But we're not here to talk for the sake of talking."
欧盟外交政策主管凯瑟琳·阿什顿的发言人曼恩(Michael Mann)：“从来都没有最后期限。过去两轮会谈中我们已经取得了很多进展，我们希望这一轮能够继续这种趋势。我的意思是，我要重申，我们只是希望尽快达成协议，但是必须是正确的协议。因此需要足够的时间。但是我们不是为了会谈而会谈。”
The talks will continue until Friday.
这一轮会谈将持续到周五。
CCTV:大规模农田扩张威胁古长城
Farmland expansion threatens Great Wall
大规模农田扩张威胁古长城
The Great Wall of China is famous for being the largest man-made structure in the world. It stretches some 1500 miles from end to end. Unfortunately, the Great Wall is now facing massive destruction from farmland expansion and construction.
Can you imagine that this is the most iconic monument in China? Under assault by expansion of farming activities, nearly two-thirds of China’s Great Wall may have been damaged or destroyed, while the rest remains under siege, says Li Lin from the China Great Wall Society.
"Definitely no segment of the wall is longer than one kilometer in rural areas. I myself never saw a wall longer than 100 meters during my field investigations on farmlands." Li said.
In Northwest China’s Gansu province, over 250 miles of the Great Wall can be seen on the map. It was first built in the Qin Dynasty about 2,200 years ago, and after 1,500 years, the Ming Dynasty rebuilt it. The Great Wall has survived nature’s decay for over 2,000 years. But the Great Wall is losing the battle with farmers living around, who have been turning it into pathways, cave shelters, or even fertilizers for the crops.
"The Great Wall was 10 to 15 meters high only decades ago. Now it hardly reaches 2 meters. The tiles we found there confirm its construction time and original patterns." Li said.
In 2006, the government released the Great Wall Protection Regulations and a 10-year protection project. However, the results are not as marked in rural areas as in tourism spots like Beijing. The Great Wall here has to give way to infrastructure construction.
"We tried to stop villagers from destroying the Great Wall. But the relics here are not included in the protection zone. Our hands are tied." Chen Jun with Longxi County Museum said.
Constructed by a succession of imperial dynasties, the network of barriers, towers and fortifications expanded over the centuries, as an attempt to defend imperial rulings.
At the height of its importance during the Ming dynasty, the Great Wall is believed to have extended some 4,000 miles, 10 times the distance from New York to Los Angeles.
CCTV9:私人收养需要实行更多监管措施
More regulations needed to oversee private adoptions
私人收养需要实行更多监管措施
Every parent has the same wish, to have a healthy child. But for a variety of reasons, some couples are unable to and turn to adoption. But many prospective parents fail to adopt through public orphanages. They turn to the underground world of private adoptions, which largely takes place online. Wu Lei reports on these channels have grown in popularity despite the risks involved.
Every time Mr. Li sees a child, he thinks something is missing in his life. After failing numerous times of trying to adopt through public orphanages, he and his wife turned to the internet.
“I posted some requests on the web 2 months ago, but we haven’t found the right child. If I do find the right child, paying a certain fee is acceptable.” Mr. Li said.
There are many private adoption forums and websites, where thousands of members present their requests and offer information.
But none of these private channels are protected or regulated by the law.
“During the process of private adoption, if there is any money being paid, it could come under suspicion as being a child trafficking crime under Chinese criminal law.” Lawyer Yu Xiaowen with Xinqing Law Firm said.
An estimated 200,000 babies are abandoned in China each year. Most end up in public orphanages where they are raised by social welfare groups.
Xi’an Children’s welfare institution has more than 700 children now. President Wang Yingtao says many parents come to apply for adoption every year, but many don’t meet the standards. Others give up due to the complicated application process. But he says most of the time, the child just doesn’t win prospective parents’ hearts.
“It is a pity that very few people adopt children from our institution. It’s because over 90% of the children here have some deformity or disease. We don’t have so many healthy children to meet their wishes.” Wang Yingtao, president of Xi’an Children’s Welfare Institution, said.
That is why these parents turn to the internet and private adoption as a last resort.
But this unregulated activity is vulnerable to criminal elements, which will largely affect the children’s well-being. Yu believes better legal enforcement will play a crucial role in solving the problem.
“As far as the law is concerned, we need to improve the legislation, specify the detailed actions and strengthen regulation of these private adoption channels.” Lawyer Yu said.
Newly emerging adoption websites have confronted increasing demand from the public. In order to better protect children, more legal platforms and regulations are desperately needed.
