Judge rules U.S. phone data program likely unlawful
法官裁决政府监听电话违法
A judge rules the U.S. government's gathering of Americans' phone records likely is unlawful. U.S. District Judge Richard Leon of the District of Columbia ordered the suspension of the collection of data on two phone company customers who sued the Obama administration. The ruling marks a significant challenge to U.S. spying authority. In his written opinion, the judge said that the government's program likely violated Americans' right to be free of unreasonable searches. The U.S. Justice Department is reviewing the ruling - and said in a statement quote: "We believe the program is constitutional as previous judges have found." In June, the British newspaper the Guardian reported that a U.S. surveillance court had secretly approved the collection of millions of raw daily phone records - after former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden leaked the program.
一名法官裁决，美国政府收集电话记录的行为是非法的。哥伦比亚地区地方法院法官理查德·利昂(Richard Leon)下令暂停收集起诉奥巴马政府的两家电话公司的客户数据。该裁决意味着美国监控部门遭遇重大挑战。在书面建议中，该法官表示，政府的项目触犯了公民免于不合法搜查的权利。美国司法部正在重审该裁决，并在一份声明中表示：“我们相信该项目像以前的法官发现的一样，是符合宪法规定的。”六月份，英国卫报报道称，国家安全局前雇员爱德华·斯诺登披露了监控项目后，美国监督法院曾秘密批准收集数百万电话记录原数据。
Violence in Iraq highest in five years
伊拉克暴力达五年来最高水平
Scores are killed in Iraq in a string of bombings targeting mainly Shi'ite Muslims ahead of a Shi'ite holy day. It makes this year's bloodshed in Iraq the worst it's been in five years. In Baghdad, authorities say a string of car bombs and roadside bombs killed at least 14 people.
什叶派宗教节日前夕，什叶派穆斯林遭遇了一系列爆炸袭击，造成数十人死亡，导致今年成为五年来伊拉克血腥事件最严重的一年。在巴格达，当局表示，一系列汽车炸弹和路边炸弹造成至少14人死亡。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) EYEWITNESS, ALI, SAYING: "It was a pick-up truck that exploded near them, and the people are suffering now. Are Allah and Mohammed accepting of the bombings? All the people closed their shops. Why? Why are the people leaving their houses early in the morning? Just for work, they want to make living."
目击者ALI：“一辆敞篷小货车在他们附近爆炸，人们现在正遭受痛苦。安拉和穆罕默德能接受这种爆炸吗？所有人都关闭了商铺。为什么呢？人们为什么一大早就离家外出？只是为了工作，只是为了谋生。”
Dozens more were killed in various blasts on Shi'ite neighborhoods and security forces throughout the day. No single group has claimed responsibility for the attacks. Opponents have criticized Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki's Shi-ite-led government for fueling Sunni discontent.
一天之中，什叶派社区和安全力量附近发生了多起爆炸，又造成数十人死亡。目前还没有任何组织宣称对袭击事件负责。反对派批评总理马利基什叶派领导的政府加剧了逊尼派的不满。

户籍制度改革 2020年有家有业可就地落户
Chinese authorities have vowed to reform its household registration reform at the Third Plenary Session of the CPC Central Committee. The Ministry of Public Security says it has already drafted a roadmap of the reform.
"We will set up a new household registration system by 2020. It will have three key features. First of all, we will adopt the same system in urban and rural areas. Secondly, the requirement for immigration will be based on legal and stable homes and jobs. Besides that, the new system will based on where you live for most of the time. By that time, it should be much easier for people to migrate." said Huang Ming, Vice Minister, Chinese Ministry of Public Security.
Huang says this round of reforms aims to help migrant workers in cities get legal registration and attract more people to the cities. The government will also make efforts to boost public service, including education, medical treatment, and social security programs for long-term dwellers. There are about 160 million migrant workers in China currently.
CCTV9:西南部出现罕见大雪 交通受阻
Rare snow hits SW China
西南部出现罕见大雪 交通受阻
The snow that has fallen on China’s Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces has slowed traffic and temporarily shut roads and highways. Local authorities are taking measures to ease congestion.
Making preparations for freezing weather, as snow continues to fall in Guizhou province, salt is being spread across major highways to stop them icing over.
"Thin ice began to form on the road surface after 1pm. We are divided into three groups, each taking care of one section of the road." said Li Xufang, Staff Member, Guizhou Highway Maintenance Co.
Workers say as temperatures continue to drop, salt spreading will become their main activity. But it will not solve all the problems. The provincial highway in Liupanshui city lies 2,400 meters above sea level, and risks thicker ice forming. For safety reasons, part of the highway is shut at night, stranding some drivers.
"There was no rain and snow yesterday. So I used the highway. But it turned out a truck had skidded on the ice. So I have to stay here."
Along the route, traffic police are busy handing out instant noodles and hot water to the stranded drivers, and reminding them the dos and don’ts for sleeping in cars.
As this high altitude highway is prone to traffic accidents at night, police need to conduct regular patrols.
In neighboring Yunan Province, residents are also tackling the heaviest snowfall this year. The extreme weather has also disrupted air traffic, forcing Kunming’s airport to close on Monday. The National Meteorological Center forecasts that snow and rain will continue to sweep the two provinces over the following week. A cold front is also expected to sweep through most parts of Southern China, bringing the coldest temperatures since winter began.
