亲"金"派莫迪赢得印度大选
Celebrations in India after a landslide victory for Hindu nationalist Narendra Modi. The pro-business candidate delivered one of the biggest wins for his Bhartiya Janata party in 30 years.
印度教“国族主义”的政党候选人莫迪(Narendra Modi)赢得了压倒性的胜利，印度各地举行庆祝活动。这位亲"金"派候选人为他的人民党赢得了30年来最大的胜利之一。
(SOUNDBITE) (Hindi) INDIA'S PRIME MINISTER-ELECT, HINDU NATIONALIST BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY (BJP) LEADER, NARENDRA MODI, SAYING: "The election fever is over now and the people of the country have given their verdict. And the verdict asks us to take India forward."
印度当选总理，印度教“国族主义”人民党领袖莫迪(Narendra Modi)：“选举热潮现在已经结束，民众已经给出了自己的判决。他们的判决要求他们带领印度前进。”
Modi, whose mother offered prayers for his victory, promised to create jobs. The message resonated with voters who he met with in record numbers, address 457 rallies over a nine month period --- maintaining a breakneck pace never before seen in Indian politics. His message on Thursday was one of unity.
莫迪的母亲为他的胜利祈祷。莫迪承诺创造就业机会。该消息引起选民的共鸣。在为期九个月的竞选期间，莫迪会见了数量前所未有的选民，向457起集会讲话——保持着印度政坛前所未有的飞快的速度。他于周四传达的一条信息就是团结。
(SOUNDBITE) (HINDI) INDIA'S VICTORIOUS LEADER NARENDRA MODI OF THE HINDU NATIONALIST BHARATIYA JANATA PARTY, SAYING: "To fulfill the responsibility that you have given me, I shall put every part of my being, every second of my time into the 1.25 billion people of this country."
赢得大选的印度教“国族主义”人民党领袖莫迪(Narendra Modi)：“为了履行民众赋予我们的责任，我将鞠躬尽瘁，兢兢业业为全国12.5亿民众而努力。”
His detractors, however, fear his Hindu nationalist views will alienate minorities, and some blame him for not doing more to prevent attacks on Muslims. Despite this, Modi's decisive win marks the first time in thirty years that one party will rule the country. When he takes office, Narendra Modi will become the leader of the world's largest democracy.
然而，他的贬低者担心印度教“国族主义者”的观点会疏远少数民族，还有一些人批评他没有采取更多措施预防穆斯林遭遇的袭击。尽管如此，莫迪决定性的胜利仍然标志着三十年来首次出现一党执政。执政之后，莫迪将成为世界上最大的民主国家的领导人。
Underwater video shows migrant shipwreck off Lampedusa
水下摄像头显示兰佩杜萨岛沉船残骸
Rescue divers have released underwater video from the shipwreck which killed 366 migrants in October last year. Several bodies can be seen on the deck as well as inside the boat which caught fire and capsized tragically within sight of Lampedusa's shoreline. Most onboard were Africans seeking a better life in Europe. Forty-one minors were among the 366 dead. Only 155 survived. The drowning of so many people so close to land shed light on the desperate circumstances that prompt between 30 and 40 thousand to attempt the treacherous journey each year.
去年10月份，一艘船只沉没，造成366名移民遇难，搜救潜水员公布了水下视频资料。甲板和船舱内可以看到几具尸体。这艘船只在兰佩杜萨海岸线附近起火并倾覆。船上大部分乘客是期望前往欧洲追求更好生活的非洲人。366名遇难者中包括41名未成年人。只有155人幸存。如此多人在如此靠近陆地的地方溺水身亡让人们不得不关注每年试图通过危险的旅程前往欧洲的三四万人的绝望境地。

美国，英国，法国和以色列都提供帮助，追踪绑架者的下落。
CCTV9:世界最大极品蓝钻 拍出2380万美元天价
World's largest blue diamond sells for $23.8 mln
世界最大极品蓝钻 拍出2380万美元天价
The world’s largest blue diamond comes with a price tag to match. The sparkling 13.22 carat gem known as "the Blue" sold at a Christie’s auction in Geneva on Wednesday for more than 21 million Swiss Francs, or some 23.8 million U.S. dollars.
The pear-shaped stone described as the world’s largest flawless vivid blue diamond had been expected to fetch between 21 to 25 million dollars.
An international jewelery specialist with Christie’s says the diamond probably came from a mine in South Africa known as Cullinan.
The specialist says only three blue diamonds of 10 carats or more with the same vivid grading for intensity have been sold at auction in the past 10 years. He says all of those diamonds weighed less than 12 carats and none was flawless.
CCTV9:地下水枯竭 中国民众将何去何从
China looking for solutions to groundwater depletion
地下水枯竭 中国民众将何去何从
In our continuing look at water shortage problem in China, our reporter Ning Hong visited villages in the North China Plain. Excessive groundwater exploration in the region has led to serious ground depressions, which are threatening local building safety and agricultural production. Now, let’s take a look at how authorities are working to deal with the situation.
70% of all groundwater is used for irrigation in the North China Plain. But local authorities want to cut nearly 90% of consumption within five years. And they say shutting down motor-pumping wells is the first step.
"Within marked overdraft regions, we are shutting down as many motor-pumping wells as possible. We are also putting groundwater exploration under strict restrictions. Drilling new wells other than for residential supplies will be forbidden." Zhang Baoquan, vice-inspector of Water Resource Dept., Hebei Prov., said.
Cangzhou city is above what’s called a "depression cone". It’s formed when groundwater is pumped from a well and leaves a potentially dangerous cavity below. But after shutting down motor pumps across the region, officials say they are now on firmer ground.
"By controlling the groundwater level, we can contain ground depressions, which have now gone from 60 to 80 millimeters to 12 millimeters. It means our prevention measures actually work." Tian Xiaowei, deputy director of 4th Hydro-Geology & Eng. Geology Team, said.
With less water being pumped, local government have taken new measures to encourage farmers to reduce their consumption.
"For every unit less we use to water the farmland, we get thirty cents in subsidies." Wang Zhanyang, head of Su Liu Village, Hengshui City, said.85% of farmers in Su Liu village now receive subsidies. Many have even switched to crops that require less water, such as cotton and peanuts.
"It is a good thing to let the market do the job, to encourage farmers to willingly save water. In the meantime, this doesn’t add any extra burden on them.” Zhang said.
Preserving groundwater is easier said than done. Local governments must balance the needs of farmers with those of the environment. And China has yet to catch up with most developed countries in areas such the use of modern irrigation methods. So while strides have been made, there remains a long way to go.
