(SOUNDBITE) (English) PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SAYING: "It is clear to me that we have made real progress in several areas and that we have a credible way forward. But, as we approach a deadline of July 20, under the interim deal, there are still some significant gaps between the international community and Iran and we have more work to do."
奥巴马总统：“对我来说，很明显，我们在几个领域取得了实质性的进展，取得了值得信赖的进步。但是，随着7月20日最后期限临近，根据临时协议，国际社会和伊朗之间仍然存在重大分歧，我们仍有许多工作要做。”

Assad: foreign states will pay for supporting "terrorism"
阿萨德称外国将因支持恐怖主义付出代价
In Damascus, President Bashar al Assad is sworn in for a new seven-year term.
在大马士革，阿萨德总统宣誓就职，开始新的为期七年的任期。
SOUNDBITE: Syrian President Bashar al Assad saying (Arabic): "I am more optimistic that the conditions will return to where all of the country's loyal sons will return home."
叙利亚总统阿萨德：“我对形势非常乐观，所有国家的忠实的子民都会回国。”
Assad, who has managed to cling to power in the face of a three year-civil war, was at times, defiant. He warned western and Arab states that they'd pay a "high price" for supporting terrorism. He had this message for rebels.
面对三年内战仍然保住权利的阿萨德有时非常具有挑衅性。他警告西方和阿拉伯国家，他们将因为支持恐怖主义而付出惨痛的代价。他也向叛军传递了下面的信息：
SOUNDBITE: Syrian President Bashar al Assad saying (Arabic): "I repeat my call today to those who were misled to put down their guns because we will not stop fighting terrorism and striking it wherever it is until we restore security to every spot of Syria."
叙利亚总统阿萨德：“今天，我再次呼吁那些受到误导的人放下武器，因为我们不会停止打击恐怖主义，无论他们身在何处，直到叙利亚每一寸土地重建和平。”
His words came a day after Syrian rebels took hold of a section of Deraa ---and a key military base in the area. The fighters point to weapons and boxes of ammunition found inside, according to this latest video posted to a social media website whose content Reuters cannot independently verify. Securing this area is a victory --- but one in a war where wins and losses are fluid.
他的讲话出现在叙利亚叛军占领德拉部分地区以及该地区一个重要军事基地之后。路透社难以证实的的社交媒体网站上一段最新视频显示，战士们指向在军事基地内发现的武器和弹药。占领该地区或许是一个胜利，但是在这场战争中，战况瞬息万变。

Howard to produce Beatles documentary, MacFarlane sued
朗霍华德将执导披头士纪录片
Oscar-winning filmmaker Ron Howard is set to direct a documentary about The Beatles, which will focus on the early years of the Fab Four's career. The film will follow the band's journey from early performances in Liverpool to their last public concert in San Francisco in 1966. Seth MacFarlane has been sued by a California production company for allegedly stealing the idea of the foul-mouthed bear for his hit movie "Ted." In a complaint filed in the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles, Bengal Mangle Productions said Ted is "strikingly similar" to its own teddy bear Charlie, who was created in 2008 for the screenplay "Acting School Academy." The production company is seeking to recoup profit stemming from the alleged copyright infringement. Kim Kardashian is reportedly set to earn as much as 90 million dollars from her new app Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The game allows users to navigate Hollywood like a celebrity and earn a-list status by finishing various jobs. There is no cost to play the game, however, users can buy virtual dollars in order to purchase trips, clothing and jewelry. Various reports say the game is on target to gross 200 million this year with Kardashian taking 45 percent of the profit.
白宫发言:奥巴马强调应对气候变化
Remarks by the President at Task Force on Climate Preparedness and Resilience Meeting
State Dining Room
2:24 P.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I want to thank everybody who has been participating in this very important task force. We’ve got governors, we’ve got mayors, local and tribal leaders. We’ve got Democrats and Republicans and independents from all the across the nation. And we are here because we know that climate change is an undeniable scientific fact.
And these leaders are here because states and communities that they represent are already dealing with the effects of climate change. They’re seeing rising sea levels, more powerful hurricanes, more intense heatwaves, severe droughts, and wildfires out west. So this is already happening, and these leaders understand that climate change is a threat to public safety, it’s a threat to public health and to something that we want to emphasize today -- the infrastructure upon which our economy depends. More severe storms and increased flooding threaten roads and bridges and businesses. Rising sea levels threaten coastal communities and ports.
So climate change poses a direct threat to the infrastructure of America that we need to stay competitive in this 21st-century economy. That means that we should see this as an opportunity to do what we should be doing anyway, and that’s modernizing our infrastructure, modernizing our roads, modernizing our bridges, power grids, our transit systems, and making sure that they’re more resilient. That’s going to be good for commerce and it’s obviously going to be good for communities.
As a result of this need, I’ve put forward a plan to build our transportation infrastructure and it’s a key part of our Climate Action Plan -- making sure that we’ve got a smarter, more resilient infrastructure that can withstand the effects of climate change.
And today I’m announcing a series of new steps. We’re going to do more, including new data and 3D maps to help state, local officials in communities understand which areas and which infrastructure are at risk as a consequence of climate change. We’re going to help communities improve their electric grids, build stronger seawalls and natural barriers, and protect their water supplies. We’re also going to invest in stronger and more resilient infrastructure.
Last month, I announced a new competitive fund -- $1 billion -- to help communities do this. Today we’re taking steps to make sure that this competition will work. We’re going to announce the specifics about who can compete, how we can learn from communities that are rebuilding stronger from disasters like Hurricane Sandy and flooding in Colorado. We want the best ideas to become models for the whole country. And the idea of this competition is not just the communities that win a grant are able to improve their infrastructure but what we’re also going to be doing is hopefully lifting everybody’s game and making sure that people in their planning are thinking about these issues as they move forward.
So the bottom line is investing in our infrastructure, protecting our communities, ensuring the health and safety of our citizens -- none of this should be a partisan issue. This is something that Democrats, Republicans, independents all care about and the leaders who are sitting around this table prove that today and prove it every day.
And I want you to know that you have a partner in me, you have a partner in this administration, and I’m confident that, working together, we can take some common-sense steps to make sure that America’s infrastructure is safer, stronger and more resilient for future generations. At the same time as we are also tackling the broader problem of climate change and trying to slow the impact of that not just here but around the world.
So I very much appreciate the wonderful participation. I know that some great ideas have already come out of this. And I’m looking forward to continuing to work with this group in the future. Thank you very much.
