U.N. says 50 million displaced as it marks World Refugee Day
全球难民人数超过5,000万
They are standing in line hoping for a chance to flee eastern Ukraine. People have packed what they can, and now they wait to see where they can go -- and in some cases for how long.
他们正在排队等候,希望有机会离开乌克兰东部 。人们已经打包了一切可以打包的物品,现在正在等待可以做什么,需要等待多长时间 。
(SOUNDBITE) (Russian) NATALIA, LUHANSK RESIDENT MOVING TO ASTRAKHAN (RUSSIA), SAYING: "How and where should I go? My sister lives in Russia and invited me to come to her place. I can visit her and stay there for a month, but what will I do next?"
搬往阿斯特拉罕的卢甘斯克居民NATALIA:“我应该去哪里?应该怎样才能离开?我的姐姐居住在俄罗斯,邀请我到她那里去 。我可以去探访她,在那里住一个月,但是接下来应该怎么办呢?”
Ukrainians have now joined the millions of displaced people around the globe as the U.N. marks World Refugee Day with grim statistics. U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres.
乌克兰人现在加入了全球数千万流离失所人群的行列 。联合国纪念世界难民日之时,统计数据非常悲观 。联合国难民事务高级专员安东尼奥·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres)发表了讲话 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) U.N. HIGH COMMISSIONER FOR REFUGEES ANTONIO GUTERRES SAYING: "If we have for the first time since the Second World War more than 50 million people displaced by war or by persecution, it's because we are witnessing a multiplication of new conflicts in the world."
联合国难民事务高级专员安东尼奥·古特雷斯(Antonio Guterres):“这是自第二次世界大战以来由于战争和迫害而流离失所的难民首次超过5000万,这是因为世界上发生了新的冲突 。”
Many of the newest refugees are Syrian. At a refugee camp in Jordan they are marking the day focusing on the World Cup.
许多最新的难民是叙利亚人 。在约旦一个难民营,他们观看世界杯比赛来纪念这一天 。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) UNHCR REPRESENTATIVE TO JORDAN, ANDREW HARPER, SAYING: "They're recreating the World Cup in their eyes, and they're having a fantastic time. This match will be followed by a match involving women's teams. This is what we have to focus on. "
联合国难民事务高级专员办事处驻约旦代表ANDREW HARPER:“他们看世界杯比赛来消遣,非常开心 。这场比赛之后是女子比赛 。我们必须转移注意力来关注这些 。”
The game is a reminder of a life left behind -- at a time when the future offers few guarantees.
这场比赛提醒着他们接下来的生活,他们的未来没有任何保障 。
Sao Paulo protest turns violent as World Cup game ends
世界杯期间圣保罗暴力抗议活动
Violent scenes in Brazil's largest city. It didn't start like this, though. More than a thousand protesters took to the streets of Sao Paulo peacefully commemorating the one year anniversary since they stopped an increase in public transport fares. But it turned ugly. Some demonstrators smashed shop windows and started fires. They vandalised cars and banks. Police responded with tear gas. There have been a number of anti-government protests in Brazil since the football championship began, most have been on a much smaller scale and were not violent like this rally. Only a minority of these protesters were demonstrating against the cost of hosting the World Cup tournament. There were no initial reports of injured protesters or of foreign soccer fans getting caught up in this violence. But in a separate incident, on the other side of town, ten England fans were attacked just hours before the World Cup game between England and Uruguay. Crushed glass littered the pavements after hooded attackers threw bottles and explosives at the football fans, who had to be taken to hospital.
巴西最大的城市一片混乱的景象 。然而开始时并非如此 。超过1,000名抗议者走向圣保罗街头,和平纪念他们制止公共交通费用增加一周年 。但是随后事态越来越严重 。自世界杯比赛开始以来,巴西发生了一些反政府抗议活动,其中大部分规模比较小,像这次一样演变为暴力事件的也非常罕见 。只有少数抗议者举行示威活动,反对举办世界杯比赛的高昂费用 。目前还没有报告称抗议者受伤或外国球迷在暴力中被困 。但是在另外一起事故中,在这座城市的另外一边,英格兰和乌拉圭之间的比赛开始几小时之前,10名英格兰球迷受到袭击 。罩着头巾的袭击者向球迷们投掷瓶子和炸药后,碎裂的玻璃散落满地 。受伤的球迷已被送往医院 。
Mixed reactions from Baghdad residents on U.S. involvement
巴格达居民对美国介入反应不一
After the United States said it would send up to 300 military advisers to support Iraqi forces confronting the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL -- mixed reactions from Baghdad residents.
美国表示将派遣大约300名军事顾问支持伊拉克军队对抗伊拉克和黎凡特伊斯兰国ISIL后,巴格达居民反应不一 。
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) IRAQI CITIZEN, AHMED, SAYING: "It cannot be solved through military intervention. It has to be solved through diplomatic and political channels. This is our message to Obama. We say to him that we do not want him to say that he would send reinforcements or an aircraft carrier. This cannot help us. The situation in Iraq is very critical and it needs quick solutions."
伊拉克公民AHMED:“通过军事干预不能解决问题,而必须通过外交和政治渠道 。这是我们向奥巴马传达的信息 。我们要告诉他,我们不希望他说增派援军或航空母舰 。这不能帮到我们 。伊拉克的形势非常严峻,需要立即解决 。”
(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) IRAQI CITIZEN, QASSIM HASHIM, SAYING: "We hoped for such a stand. It is the American forces' duty to protect the Iraqi people and its institutions as stipulated in the Strategic Framework Agreement."
伊拉克公民QASSIM HASHIM:“我们需要这样的支持 。保护伊拉克人民是美国军队的责任,这是《战略框架协议》中的条款规定的 。”
Meanwhile, a group of Sunni tribal leaders of north Baghdad vowed to cooperate with Iraqi armed forces in this video released by the Iraqi Ministry of Defense. They're condemning ISIL and calling for unity.
与此同时,伊拉克国防部公布的这段视频显示,巴格达北部一些逊尼派部落领导人誓言与伊拉克军队合作 。他们谴责了ISIL的行为,呼吁团结 。
(SOUNDBITE)(Arabic) UNIDENTIFIED TRIBAL SHEIKH, SAYING: "We have to stand united with our people, our government and our heroic army. The army cannot achieve victory if there is no cooperation and unity among tribes."
未透露姓名的部落首领:“我们必须与我们的人民,我们的政府和我们英雄的军队团结合作 。如果我们的部落不合作,不团结,军队不可能取得胜利 。”
U.S. President Barack Obama has said that U.S. intelligence gathering over Iraq had increased in recent days. He also said he would consider military strikes if necessary, but that the Iraqi government must take steps to resolve the political rift among Sunnis and Shi'ites.
美国总统表示,美国近日加强了关于伊拉克的情报收集工作 。他还表示,如果必要的话将考虑军事袭击,但是伊拉克政府必须采取措施解决逊尼派和什叶派之间的政治分歧 。

Remarks by the President at the White House Maker Faire
East Room
12:02 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. (Applause.) Thank you so much. Everybody, have a seat. Thank you. Well, good morning. And welcome to the first-ever White House Maker Faire -- which is pretty exciting. (Applause.) Let me start off by saying, the only thing that I asked my staff about is why is there an “E” at the end of “faire.” (Laughter.) I mean, I wasn’t sure -- is there jousting? Do we all have to get dressed up, or what? So I’m just warning you -- next year, the “E” may be gone. I don’t know exactly who came up with that. This is America -- we don’t have E’s at the end of “fair.” (Laughter and applause.) I’m just saying. I’m just saying. Whoever came up with that idea, you let me know.
We’ve got three outstanding members of Congress who are here. Bill Foster. (Applause.) Rush Holt. (Applause.) And Russ [sic] Takano. We’ve got National Science Foundation Director France Cordova, who’s here. France. (Applause.) Our NIH Director Francis Collins. (Applause.) My science advisor, John Holdren. (Applause.) We’ve got innovators like Dale Dougherty, who’s here, who helped launch the very first Maker Faire nearly a decade ago. Dale, stand up. (Applause.) We have Intel’s youngest intern, who I know because he’s probably the only person who was ever allowed to fire a marshmallow in the White House. (Laughter.) Joey Hudy -- where’s Joey? There he is. (Applause.) There’s still a stain -- (laughter) -- from where the marshmallow hit. It was scary. The thing just went out a little -- you don’t want to be at the receiving end of that marshmallow. He also brought, by the way, his “3x3x3 LED Shield,” which is his.
And we’ve got some wonderful folks like our Science Guy, Bill Nye, who’s here all the time. (Applause.) And Mr. Kamen, a great inventor. So this is a smart group right here. There are some innovative folks.
Before I begin, I have to ask: What on Earth have you done to my house? (Laughter.) I mean, there’s a mobile factory on the South Lawn. There’s a robotic giraffe. There’s a giant red weather balloon in the Rose Garden. There’s a paper-crafted dinosaur head in the hallway. Over here is a 3D-printed sculpture of my State of the Union Address. (Laughter.) Clearly, there could have been some edits right there in the middle. (Laughter.) The sculpture clearly goes on too long. (Laughter.) So this is not your typical day at the White House.
We invited you here because today is “D.I.Y.” Today’s D.I.Y. is tomorrow’s “Made in America.” Your projects are examples of a revolution that’s taking place in American manufacturing -- a revolution that can help us create new jobs and industries for decades to come.
And five years after the worst economic crisis of our lifetimes, our businesses have created jobs for 51 straight months -- that’s 9.4 million new jobs in total. But we know we’ve got to create more. And one of the best ways to create more good jobs is by boosting American manufacturing.
So we’ve seen an auto industry that’s come roaring back, and our manufacturing sector has been adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s; about 640,000 new manufacturing jobs since February of 2010. And in the absence of much action from Congress, we’re doing what we can, I’m doing what I can on my own to keep that progress going. So I’ve launched four new high-tech manufacturing hubs across the country, with more on the way. Yesterday, I went to the TechShop in Pittsburgh, where you can use equipment like laser cutters and 3D printers for about the cost of a gym membership. We announced new steps that we’re taking to help entrepreneurs turn their ideas into products. More than 90 mayors made commitments to help entrepreneurs manufacture new things in their communities, and we’re proud to have some of those mayors here today.
So we’re going to do whatever we can to bring good manufacturing jobs back to our shores, because our parents and our grandparents created the world’s largest economy and strongest middle class not by buying stuff, but by building stuff -- by making stuff, by tinkering and inventing and building; by making and selling things first in a growing national market and then in an international market -- stuff “Made in America.”
And the good news is, is that new tools and technologies are making the building of things easier than ever. There is a democratization of manufacturing that is potentially available because of technology. Across our country, ordinary Americans are inventing incredible things, and then they’re able to bring them to these fairs like Makers Faires. And you never know where this kind of enthusiasm and creativity and innovation could lead. So in the 1970s, Steve Wozniak designed the Apple One to show off for the members of the “Homebrew Computer Club.” And today, Apple is worth about $550 billion. I wish I had been there. (Laughter.) I’d like to think that I would have said, that’s a good idea. (Laughter.) Here, take my $100. (Laughter.)
And while I don’t know if the projects here today are the next Apple, I do know that by looking at some of these exhibits, it was just incredible what is being done.
So you take the team from The Workshop School in West Philadelphia, and compared to most other schools there are a lot of advantages they don’t have. This is a poor community. They do have, however, Simon Hauger, a principal who is so talented, a student once said, “He could teach algebra to a guinea pig.” (Laughter.) And with Simon’s help, we’ve got Derrick Bell here, Taliya Carter, Joshua Pigford. Their team built a biodiesel sports car that gets around a 100 miles per gallon, which is why the Secret Service didn’t let me drive it. (Laughter.)
But what’s happening is, is that the young people now are able to learn by doing. So math, science all gets incorporated into the task of actually making something, which the students tell me makes the subject matter that much more interesting. Or you’ve got Jen McCabe, who is setting up a space called Factorli, in Las Vegas, to provide custom, small-scale manufacturing -- kind of like a Kinko’s or a copy shop, but instead of printing flyers, they’re going to be able to print custom parts for American products.
There’s Marc Roth, from San Francisco. A few years ago, Marc found himself homeless. And at a shelter, Marc heard about a local “TechShop” that teaches folks how to use new tools like laser cutters and 3D printers, and he signed up. And within 16 months, he had started SF Laser, his own laser-cutting business. He just launched a program called “The Learning Shelter” to teach tech and manufacturing skills to other folks who are trying to get back on their feet.
As you were going through the exhibits, you saw young people who are students at places like MIT helping to design mobile factories that bring the tools for invention to communities that might have thought that kind of stuff was out of reach for them. An incredible story of a young woman who figured out how to make a cheap incubator that’s already helping 60,000 newbies around the world who can’t afford the sort of expensive equipment that we have in our hospitals.
It gives you a sense that we are at the dawn of something big. And one of the professors who I had a chance to speak to as I was taking the tour described it as analogous to where we were with the Internet 25, 30 years ago. In the same way that we were at that time reorganizing how we could use data and information, we are now at a point where we’re going to be able to reorganize how we think about making things and marrying the information revolution to what’s been an analogue manufacturing system. And it’s incredibly exciting and we’re at the cutting edge of it, but we’ve got to make sure that we continue to be at the cutting edge of it.
So as a country, we ought to be doing what Simon, and Jen, and Marc are doing every day, and we’ve got to make sure that more Americans have the skills and opportunities to land a job in a growing industry, or to create entirely new industries. So that’s why I’m declaring today a “National Day of Making” -- and it’s why I’m backing those words up with action.
We’re helping schools take shop class into the 21st century, because one of the things I’m really interested in is how do we redesign high schools so that young people are able to do stuff as they are learning. And that’s not just true for schools in inner-city Philadelphia, that’s true for schools generally, in part because it also then gives new opportunities for young people who may have different learning styles to thrive in ways that they might not if they’re just sitting there listening to a lecture.
We’re providing new support for startups that want to file for a patent. From the Defense Department to the SBA, and from the National Science Foundation to NASA, we’re doing more to help entrepreneurs start new businesses that make things in America.
And of course, this is not just a job for government. Today, more than 150 colleges and universities are committing to giving young people more hands-on opportunities to make things. So a few minutes ago, a young man named Partha Unnava showed me the letter announcing that commitment -- and of course, it was on some metal that was 3D-printed. He couldn’t just give me a piece of paper. (Laughter.) It’s harder to file, by the way, but it looks cooler. (Laughter.)
The private sector is stepping up, as well. From Indiegogo and Etsy to Disney and Intel, companies have pledged to help unleash a new wave of innovation here in America. And these companies do different things, they come from different industries, but they share the belief that when we tap the potential of every American, all of us are better off.
Camille and Genevieve Beatty are here today from Asheville, North Carolina. They’re 14 and 12 years old. Where are they? Raise your hands, guys. There you are. (Applause.) They happen to be the co-founders of Beatty Robotics. Genevieve does the wiring, Camille machines the metal. As their website puts it, “Who needs a paper route when you can start a robotics company?” (Laughter.) That’s a pretty good motto. That’s great, I love that. (Laughter.)
But the Beattys say one of the main things they’ve learned over the last few years isn’t about power tools or engineering or electronics. What they’ve learned is that, “If you can imagine it, then you can do it -- whatever it is.” And that’s a pretty good motto for America.
This is a country that imagined a railroad connecting a continent, imagined electricity powering our cities and towns, imagined skyscrapers reaching into the heavens, and an Internet that brings us closer together. So we imagined these things, then we did them. And that’s in our DNA. That’s who we are. We’re not done yet. And I hope every company, every college, every community, every citizen joins us as we lift up makers and builders and doers across the country. If we do, I know we’re going to be able to create more good jobs in the years to come. We’re going to create entire new industries that we can’t yet imagine, although I suspect Camille and Genevieve may have already figured it out. (Laughter.)
And we’re going to rebuild our economy and restore our middle class, and give opportunities for people whose potential is not yet tapped. There are kids out there, there are adults out there right now who have a great idea. And they don’t have access to the capital they need. They don’t have the tools they need to put together a prototype. They don’t know how to link up with folks who could help refine those ideas. And what the Maker movement does, what technology does, what the information revolution does is it allows all those folks to suddenly be a part of this creative process. And what better place to do that than here in the United States of America?
This is a place where we know how to invent and we know how to dream and we know how to take risks. And this is a place where people who work hard have always been able to make it. We want to make sure that continues. So thanks for the great work you’re all doing. It’s very inspiring.
God bless you. God bless the United States of America. Thank you. (Applause.)
