A crowd turns out in Germany to get their hands on Hillary Clinton's new book "Hard Choices." The former U.S. Secretary of State appears at a Berlin theater Sunday to promote her new book.

I don't know what it is with me and these charismatic men. I do my best to say no and then I say oh, okay."
美国前国务卿希拉里·克林顿：“如果是他的话，他会说自己曾经两次向我求婚，我拒绝了，然后他说，我不会再问你，知道你做好答应我的准备。在书中你可以读到这些内容。奥巴马总统也出现过这样的情况，因为他曾经要求我担任国务卿，我拒绝了两次，他说，我不会再问你……我不知道我和这些有感召力的人是怎么回事……我尽最大努力去拒绝，最后却又答应了。”

路透社财经:德国首次实行国家最低薪资制度
First national minimum wage for Germany
德国首次实行国家最低薪资制度
A boost for the lowest paid in Europe's biggest economy. Germany's parliament voted for the first national minimum wage - to take effect from 2015. This was a flagship project for the Social Democrats. They made their coalition deal with Angela Merkel's Christian Democrats dependent on the reform. Andrea Nahles from the SPD is Labour Minister. SOUNDBITE: Andrea Nahles, German Labour Minister, saying (German): "We will also have regulations for implementing and controlling the minimum wage. On paper, the minimum wage is no use to anyone. It has to become a reality." The minimum wage has long been controversial - and even now, it won't be available to everyone. Under 18s, trainees and some interns aren't eligible - and the long-term unemployed could be paid less at the start of a new job. Some sectors will be allowed to delay introducing it while they adjust. Germany's minimum wage will be 8.50 an hour. So how does that compare to other developed economies? French workers earn at least 9.53 euros an hour, and it's currently the equivalent of 7.92 euros in the UK. Over in the United States, the federal minimum is the same as 5.30 euros. It's highest in Australia - equivalent to 11.25 euros. Germany's been the euro zone growth motor since the financial crisis. Despite that there some fear the gap between rich and poor is growing. Employers' groups lobbied against the reform, saying higher labour costs would force them to move production abroad, or push up prices. Richard McGuire is from Rabobank. SOUNDBITE: Richard McGuire, Head of Rates Strategy, Rabobank, saying (English):"Most companies in the tradeable sector, in the manufacturing sector, already pay more on average than the minimum wage anyway, but the most impact will be felt in the non-tradeables, in the service sector, so in terms of Germany's international competitiveness we certainly don't think it will have a negative impact near term. I think the bigger picture again though is that this is positive in terms of helping to engender this broader rebalancing of the euro area." Germany's neighbours may be watching the reform closely. France is among those pushing for growth intiatives - one, suggested by President Hollande, an EU-wide minimum wage.
白宫发言:奥巴马总统移入化仪式上讲话
Remarks by the President at Naturalization Ceremony for Servicemembers and Military Spouses
East Room
11:24 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, everybody. Please be seated. Good morning and welcome to the White House. And Happy Fourth of July! (Applause.)
Deputy Secretary Mayorkas, thank you for taking care of the important part of this morning, which is administering the oath -- that’s the thing that we want to make sure we got right. (Laughter.) To Acting Deputy Director Jones, to family, friends, distinguished guests -- thank you all for being here. And finally, to these 25 men and women, servicemembers and spouses, it is an honor to join everyone here, for the first time, in calling you “our fellow Americans.”
Now, this is one of my favorite events to do -- and not just because we get to have a barbeque and watch fireworks later. (Laughter.) It’s because each of you has traveled a long journey to this moment -- journeys that began in places like Jamaica and Germany, China and Guatemala. And yet somehow -- either because your parents brought you here as children, or because you made the choice yourselves as adults -- you ended up here, in America.
And then many of you did something extraordinary: You signed up to serve in the United States military. You answered the call –- to fight and potentially to give your life for a country that you didn’t fully belong to yet. You understood what makes us American is not just circumstances of birth, or the names in our family tree. It’s that timeless belief that from many we are one; that we are bound together by adherence to a set of beliefs and unalienable rights; that we have certain obligations to each other, to look after each other, and to serve one another. And over the years, that’s exactly what you’ve done.
Rodrigo Laquian came to the United States from the Philippines. He joined the Navy because, he said, he “wanted to be a part of something big and important. To be a part of a great cause.” Today, Petty Officer Second Class Laquian is still part of that great cause -- and today he’s also an American citizen.
Stephanie Van Ausdall moved here from Canada with her mom when she was 18 years old. And today she’s 26 and a Sergeant in the Army. Stephanie says she joined the military “to give my children someone to look up to and someone they can be proud of.” Stephanie, I know that you’ve made your children and all of us very proud.
Oscar Gonzalez was born in Guatemala, and became a Marine last year. Becoming a citizen, he says, means becoming part of a “society that strives and stands for good all around the world -- just being a part of that makes me complete.” Well, Oscar, welcoming you as an American citizen makes our country a little more complete, so thank you.
And then there are those of you who married an American servicemember, and as a military spouse, you’ve been serving our country as well. Diana Baker is originally from Kenya and met her husband Kowaine in Germany. Today she’s a nurse at Frederick Memorial Hospital in Maryland, and she and her husband have four beautiful children. In Diana’s words, “Becoming a citizen of the United States is like joining a club of the best of the best.” (Laughter.) And I agree. Congratulations, Diana, on joining the club.
Together, all of you remind us that America is and always has been a nation of immigrants. Throughout our history, immigrants have come to our shores in wave after wave, from every corner of the globe. Every one of us –- unless we’re Native American –- has an ancestor who was born somewhere else.
And even though we haven’t always looked the same or spoken the same language, as Americans, we’ve done big things together. We’ve won this country’s freedom together. We’ve built our greatest cities together. We’ve defended our way of life together. We’ve continued to perfect our union together.
And that’s what makes America special. That’s what makes us strong. The basic idea of welcoming immigrants to our shores is central to our way of life, it is in our DNA. We believe our diversity, our differences, when joined together by a common set of ideals, makes us stronger, makes us more creative, makes us different. From all these different strands, we make something new here in America. And that’s why, if we want to keep attracting the best and brightest from beyond our borders, we’re going to have to fix our immigration system, which is broken, and pass commonsense immigration reform.
We shouldn’t be making it harder for the best and the brightest to come here, and create jobs here, and grow our economy here. We should be making it easier. And that’s why I’m going to keep doing --
(Audience member applauds.)
THE PRESIDENT: He agrees with me. (Laughter and applause.) So I’m going to keep doing everything I can do to keep making our immigration system smarter and more efficient so hardworking men and women like all of you have the opportunity to join the American family and to serve our great nation. So we can be stronger and more prosperous and more whole –- together.
I’ll close with a quick story. George Mardikian was an immigrant from Armenia who became a famous chef. And George had a quote that I think will ring true for most immigrants. He said, “You who have been born in America, I wish I could make you understand what it is like not to be an American -– not to have been an American all your life -– and then, suddenly to be one, for that moment, and forever after.”
Today, on this Fourth of July, all across the country –- from Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello to the Alamodome in Texas -- immigrants from around the world are taking the oath of citizenship. And many of them have worked and sacrificed for years to get to this moment. All of them have done it for something none of us should ever take for granted: the right to be called an American, from this moment, and forever after.
And that fact should give us hope and should make us confident about the future of our country. Because as long as there are men and women like all of you who are willing to give so much for the right to call yourselves Americans, and as long as we do our part to keep the door open to those who are willing to earn their citizenship, then we’re going to keep on growing our economy, we’ll continue to journey forward, and we’ll remind the world of why the United States of America is and always will be the greatest nation on Earth. We’re very proud of you. Congratulations.
God bless you. God bless the United States of America. And now I’d like to turn it over to Deputy Secretary Mayorkas. Congratulations. (Applause.)
END
