India polls enter final round
印度大选进入最后阶段
All eyes are on the ancient city of Varanasi as Indians vote in the final round of the country's massive general election. Narendra Modi is the first presidential candidate to stand in the 3,000-year-old city where several religions mingle. It's among the 41 seats in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal states where the five-week-long election is coming to an end.
印度大规模的大选已经进入最后阶段，所有的目光都集中在古城瓦腊纳西。在这个几个宗教混杂的拥有3,000年历史的古城，莫迪(Narendra Modi)是第一位总统候选人。这是北方邦，比哈尔邦和西孟加拉邦41个席位之一。印度为期五周的选举即将结束。
(SOUNDBITE)(English) M. K CHAKRAVARTY, VOTER, SAYING: "My demand is development of the country."
选民M. K CHAKRAVARTY：“我的要求就是国家的发展。”
(SOUNDBITE)(Hindi) SARITA, VOTER, SAYING: "I've voted and chosen a good leader. We hope the leader will work to ensure women's safety and work for the development of the country."
选民SARITA：“我投票选择一位好的领袖。我们希望这位领袖可以努力确保妇女安全和国家的发展。”
Narendra Modi's BJP party and its allies are the hot favourites to win. Modi is hoping to lead the party back to power after a decade in opposition. The BJP believes it may be in line for a record number of seats...then again Indian elections are notoriously hard to predict.
莫迪(Narendra Modi)领导的印度人民党(BJP)及其盟友是获胜的热门。莫迪希望领导十年来一直是在野党的人民党重新执掌政权。印度人民党相信他们将赢得创纪录的选票。不过印度选举臭名昭著的一点就是不可预测。

At least 48 migrants drown off Libyan coast
至少48人在利比亚海岸溺亡
Bodies are washing up in Libya. Officials say at least 48 people are dead after a boat carrying mostly sub-Saharan African migrants sank off the coast.

由于海岸警卫队，海军和武装部队装备不良，而且仍在接受训练，利比亚官员希望西方国家能够提供更多帮助，抑制非法移民。
CCTV9:就业环境差 海归遭遇滑铁卢
Overseas returnees struggle to find jobs in China
就业环境差 海归遭遇滑铁卢
More students in China can afford to pursue their studies overseas for growing incomes from the country's economic development when being back home. While many are heading abroad, the country has also seen a rising number of overseas returnees in recent years.
According to the Ministry of Education, over 350,000 students with foreign degrees returned to China in 2013, a 30 percent surge compared with the previous year. Over 91 percent of the returnees are aged between 23 and 32 with over 90 percent of them financially supported by themselves or families. Among the returning students, over 60 percent received their master’s degree, while around six percent graduated with doctorate. The ministry report says it has become more difficult for many Bachelor’s and Master’s holders to find employment due to the sheer number of these graduates.
Mr. Nie worked in China for over five years, before going to the UK to study for a Master’s degree. Now he has graduated, Nie is struggling to find a job in Britain or in China.
"Companies in Britain don’t recognize my work experience in China, and there are not many job openings because of the recession in Europe. On the other hand, competition in China is also fierce. I can’t even get my old job back." Mr. Nie said.
Nie is not only one struggling to get a good job after studying abroad. A recent job fair in Beijing for overseas graduates attracted some 3,000 people. Many of them had to wait in a long queue just to get in.
"I took an overnight train from Zhengzhou and arrived 5 a.m. this morning just for this job fair. Before I went abroad, I thought it would be easier to find a good job as I have an overseas degree, but now I've been job-hunting for five months." Overseas returnee Mr. Zhang said.
One of the reasons why these overseas returnees are struggling to find a job, is timing.
"In China, the peak season for recruitment is around Autumn, as most students in domestic universities graduate in June. I got my degree from Australia in January, so when I came back, the good positions were already taken." Overseas returnee Mr. Sun said.
Another factor is the clash between high expectations and harsh reality.
"I want to work in an international company, because I got my degree and work experience in the US." An overseas returnee said.
"My priority is German firms. Because I studied in Germany." An overseas returnee said.
According to a recruitment website, almost 60 percent of overseas returnees want to work in foreign companies or joint ventures, but only around 20 percent achieve that.
"Many private enterprises are developing very fast now. And they offer more job opportunities and promotion prospects. The graduates shouldn’t pin all their hopes on foreign companies or joint ventures.” Guo Sheng, CEO of Zhaopin.com, said.
Many overseas returnees also want higher salaries because they have spent hundreds of thousands of yuan to studying abroad. For many, that seems to be an unrealistic demand.
CCTV9:华南暴雨引发洪水 数千人撤离
Thousands evacuated after rain triggers flooding in S. China
华南暴雨引发洪水 数千人撤离
A powerful rainstorm has wreaked havoc in south China over the past few days. Agricultural fields have become flooded, traffic has been brought to a standstill, and rescue teams have been dispatched to save trapped residents. Hunan province has born the brunt of the rainstorm, with 460,000 residents affected. In the village of Guangli, rains triggered devastating floods. Over 1,400 villagers had to be evacuated.
"I’m 82 years old. I’ve never seen such floods in my life." Guangli resident Xiao Zihe said.
The floodwaters inundated the terraced field, forming a 500-meter yellowish waterfall.
"The flood overwhelmed over four hectares of farmland, including rice patties and other fields. The direct economic loss equals about 6 million yuan." Xiao Changan, party chief of Guangli Village, Tongkou County, said.
After the outbreak of the flood, villagers were evacuated from dilapidated houses, while channels were dug up to save rice fields. But with heavy rain set to continue, Hunan province faces a daunting task.
In southwestern Guiyang city, combined rain and hail left many people trapped. Between Friday night and Saturday morning, 100 different rescue teams were dispatched to help them. Residents were saved from powered-off elevators, out of flooded residential buildings, or out of stranded vehicles. Over 100 trapped residents were rescued.
Southern Shenzhen city is also struggling to cope with the largest rainstorm in six years. Local authorities have issued a red warning, and the whole city has started an emergency alert. All middle schools, elementary schools, kindergartens have suspended classes. Workplaces have been advised to suspend or postpone working.
Other parts of China have also not been spared from the severe weather. In the coastal city of Qingdao in east China, 18 people were killed and another three injured early Sunday morning after heavy rain caused a wall to collapse. The waterlogged wall fell on a makeshift house for staff at a processing site of a renewable resource company at Huangdao Island. Rescuers rushed to the site and concluded their search on Sunday afternoon. The three injured have been hospitalized.
While some areas were drenched in the downpours, others were buried beneath dense snow. Due to a cold front from Siberia, rare snow fell over Shandan and Aksai counties in northwestern China. The snow was somewhat of a mixed blessing, helping relieve a drought in the region but leaving hundreds of drivers stranded on the highways. Local traffic authorities have sent teams to clear the ice and snow from the roads. Traffic is expected to return to normal on Monday.
