Filipino residents assess damage of Typhoon Rammasun
菲律宾居民评估台风威马逊损失
Residents in the Philippines begin to repair houses destroyed by Typhoon Rammasun Friday. Disaster officials say fifty-four people have died and three are missing. Hundreds of thousands were left homeless. They've taken refuge in evacuation centers.
周五，菲律宾居民开始修葺被台风威马逊损坏的房屋。灾难处理官员表示，台风共造成54人遇难，3人失踪。数十万人无家可归。他们在疏散中心避难。
(SOUNDBITE) (Filipino) TYPHOON SURVIVOR DIANE VENDIOLA SAYING: "Our house was destroyed and we need help. Our house has been destroyed a lot of times, and look how few of our belongings we have left. It's always been like this."
台风幸存者DIANE VENDIOLA：“我们的房屋被摧毁了，我们需要帮助。我们的房屋被损坏了很多次，我们的财产也所剩无几了。基本上每次都是这样。”
Repair work also starts on a bridge south of Manila that is a vital trade route. The Philippines sees an average of 20 typhoons each year, mostly during the onset of the rainy season from June to October. Many Filipinos are still recovering from last November's Typhoon Haiyan, which killed more than 6,100 people and left millions homeless.
修整工作从马尼拉南部一座桥梁开始，这里是重要的贸易通道。菲律宾平均每年遭遇20起台风，大部分在6月至10月的雨季。许多菲律宾人仍在努力从去年11月份的台风海燕中恢复。上次的台风造成超过6,100人死亡，数百万人无家可归。
Tributes round the world for victims of Ukraine crash
世界各地向马航遇难者哀悼
Prayers and tributes across the world for the victims of the Malaysian airliner, which crashed in eastern Ukraine. Here in Sydney, Australia's Ukrainian community mourned the deaths of the 298 passengers on board MH17 with tears and songs. The victims came from 11 countries, and their deaths are felt across four continents. In the Philippines, three nationals died on the jet as it travelled from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. Families in Quezon City are left searching for answers and clinging to memories.
世界各地的人们为乌克兰东部坠毁的马来西亚航班上的遇难者祈祷，致敬。在悉尼，澳大利亚乌克兰社区在眼泪和歌声中为MH17航班上的298名遇难乘客哀悼。遇难者来自11个国家，五大洲的民众都对他们的遇难感同身受。在菲律宾，3名公民在这架阿姆斯特丹飞往吉隆坡的飞机上遇难。奎松城的家人们在这里寻找答案，回顾往昔的记忆。
(SOUNDBITE) (Filipino) BROTHER OF FILIPINO MH17 PASSENGER IRENE PABELLON-GUNAWAN, TIRSO PABELLON, SAYING: "Why did they have to include civilians? What we want is justice for this tragedy. If not for my sister, at least for the other passengers who also died. I know their families also feel the same way we do, the feeling of those who lost a loved one."
MH17航班菲律宾乘客IRENE PABELLON-GUNAWAN的哥哥TIRSO PABELLON：“他们为何要针对平民？我们需要的是为这场灾难伸张正义。即使不是为了我的妹妹，至少也要为同样遇难的其他乘客。我知道他们的家人和我是同样的感受，都是失去亲人的悲痛欲绝。”
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said international observers must gain access to the crash site to find out what happened.
澳大利亚总理艾伯特表示，国际观察员必须进入飞机失事地点调查原因。
(SOUNDBITE)(English) AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER TONY ABBOTT SAYING: "I regret to say that overnight a monitoring mission from the Organisation of Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) did gain temporary access to the site but it was driven off by gunfire presumably from the Russian-backed rebels. This does highlight though the difficulty and danger of the situation."
澳大利亚总理艾伯特(TONY ABBOTT)：“我很遗憾地表示，来自欧洲安全与合作组织的监督任务小组临时进入事发地点，但是随后被可能来自亲俄叛军的炮火驱赶出来。这再次凸显了该地区形势的艰难和危险。”
It's still not clear whether the Ukrainian government or separatists backed by Moscow shot down the plane. But it's hoped that the tragedy can achieve a peace that diplomacy has so far failed to bring.
目前还不清楚击落飞机的是乌克兰政府还是莫斯科支持的分裂分子。但是希望这起灾难能够获得外交途径一直未能带来的和平。
Britain bakes on hottest day of the year
英国经历最炎热季节
Britain's famously temperamental weather settled into a hot spell on Friday. This was London by night. But by day, people were sprawled under the sun, as temperatures reached up to 32 degrees Celsius -- or 90 degrees Fahrenheit. For these Londoners -- who were taking a break from the office -- the heat was a bit hard to handle.
周五，英国以变化多端著称的天气进入最炎热的时段。这是夜间的伦敦。但是日间，气温上升至32摄氏度（华氏90度），人们在太阳下炙烤。对这些走出办公室休息的伦敦人来说，炎热更加难以承受。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OFFICE WORKER RICHARD MORRISON SAYING: "When you've been out here for a while and you're starting to sweat a little bit, it's nice to go back into the air con and cool out for five minutes. But no, definitely, I definitely wouldn't want to miss it."
办公室工作人员RICHARD MORRISON：“当你外出一会儿，就会开始出汗，重新回到办公室的冷气中待五分钟就会感觉很舒服。但是我不想错过这样的天气。”
(SOUNDBITE) (English) OFFICE WORKER DEMETRI ZISSIMOS SAYING: "It's nice in the shade. Out in the sun exact, you know, not so much."
办公室工作人员DEMETRI ZISSIMOS：“在荫凉的地方比较舒服。不过在阳光下就没有那么凉爽了。”
But these tourists didn't mind the high temperatures at all.
但是这些游客一点都不在乎高温。
(SOUNDBITE) (English) TOURIST TAMMY BARBUR SAYING: "Oh my gosh, I'm enjoying London so much, it's beautiful and the weather's beautiful today, it's fantastic."
游客TAMMY BARBUR：“天哪，我非常喜欢伦敦，非常漂亮，今天的天气也非常好，非常棒。”
(SOUNDBITE) (English) TOURIST RACHEL BOZICH SAYING: "People say it's been a little too hot, but I don't mind it. We were just in Ireland and it was really rainy, so this is exactly what we want."
游客RACHEL BOZICH：“人们说天气太热了，但是我不介意。我们刚刚从爱尔兰过来，那里整天下雨，所以这样的阳光正是我们想要的。”
The hot spell is not likely to last and may be broken over the weekend.
炎热的天气不会持续太久，周末期间就会恢复正常。
路透社财经:M17坠毁增加市场不安情绪
MH17 downing adds to markets' anxiety
M17坠毁增加市场不安情绪
Passengers checking in for Malaysian Airlines flights at Schiphol airport in the Netherlands. Still trying to come to terms with the fate of MH17, bound for Kuala Lumpur, which was downed over eastern Ukraine. World markets remained under pressure - after a week which has seen new sanctions on Moscow and unrest in Gaza. European stocks saw more selling - with Russian markets taking the heaviest hit. While German bond yields remained near record lows, driven down by the uncertainty. Fidel Helmer is from Hauck and Aufhaeuser in Frankfurt. SOUNDBITE: Fidel Helmer, Capital Markets Expert, Hauck and Aufhaeuser private bank, saying (German): "There are many problem areas: the escalation of violence in the Middle East plays a big role in the world economy, there are the trouble spots in Iraq and Syria and that unsettles the markets." Despite these many geopolitical risks, Craig Erlam from Alpari believes we could have already seen most of the market reaction. SOUNDBITE: Craig Erlam, Market analyst, Alpari, saying (English): "A common theme what we've seen recently with both geopolitical events and also economic events as well, we'll get this bad news, we'll get this thing which shakes up the market and what we saw yesterday was certainly one of those events, a big, strong event actually, but then the next day or the next couple of days we see it start to wear off and we see people start to look for the positives again and buy those dips." That's leading to questions whether investors are pricing in enough risk. The scale of the disaster could increase international pressure to resolve the crisis in Ukraine, says Alisa Lockwood from IHS Country Risk. SOUNDBITE: Alisa Lockwood, Head of Europe and CIS,IHS Country Risk, saying (English): "The West will be considering its options in terms of ways to assist Ukraine in finally crushing the separatist threat in the east and with all the accusations that are being levelled at Russia in terms of its support of the separatists, it will also put additional pressure on Russia to come to the table and co-operate." The tense wait for news continues for families and friends of those on board. It's also more bad news for Malaysia Airlines - still reeling from the disappearance of flight MH370 in March - and when it and its competitors are struggling against low-cost rivals. Some have queried MH17's route over Ukraine - as other carriers had reportedly been avoiding the area. Malaysia Airlines shares fell again sharply, leading to questions whether Malaysia Airlines can survive after this second disaster.
白宫发言:奥巴马出席2014年儿童国宴
Remarks by the President and the First Lady at the Kids State Dinner
East Room
12:17 P.M. EDT
MRS. OBAMA: Okay, Braeden. (Laughter.) All right, it’s going to be hard. All right, mister, you’re not supposed to make the First Lady cry. (Laughter.)
Thanks so much. You guys, let’s give Braeden a big round of applause. (Applause.) Well done, young man. Well done. And thank you so much, Christy. Thank you.
Okay, this is cool, right? You guys having a good time?
AUDIENCE: Yes.
MRS. OBAMA: Yes? Has it been exciting from beginning to end?
AUDIENCE: Yes.
MRS. OBAMA: What’s been the best part so far?
AUDIENCE: You.
MRS. OBAMA: This? All right, I didn't cue them on that one. (Laughter.) That was a natural response.
Well, I am just delighted to have you guys. You guys look amazing. You have dressed so appropriately for the event.
Doesn't the room look beautiful? They do such a great job. And all this stuff was picked out especially for you guys. It is really an honor to be here.
And I want to start by thanking Tanya and all the folks from Epicurious, the entire team, for, year after year, making this event possible. It is truly the highlight of our lives, and I know that everyone involved really, really gets inspired from this event.
And I’m also thrilled about the new Kids and Chefs Cook for Success program that you guys are launching. And with this effort, you guys are going to take this whole thing to another level. So I love the fact that, Epicurious, you’re finding ways to step this up every single year. So thank you, guys, and a big round of applause. (Applause.)
And, of course, to our Delta Airlines team for flying everybody here. Oh, let’s all go! Yay! (Applause.)
How many people was it your first trip on an airplane? Or is everybody old flying pros? You’ve been flown before, huh?
You haven’t flown before? Well, that's awesome. So did Delta Airlines treat you well?
AUDIENCE: Yes. (Applause.)
MRS. OBAMA: All right, there you go. Bob was a little nervous on that question. (Laughter.)
And I want to join Tanya in also thanking all of the family members, the parents, the moms, the dads. I know we have an aunt or two here, as well. Thank you all so much for supporting your kids in this passion, and for cooking with them and for putting up with those endless messes in the kitchen. Who’s a messy cook here? (Laughter.) Me, too. Me, too. (Laughter.)
But I hope you all know that their success is because of your love and your constant encouragement for their creativity. So we’re just so grateful to all of you grownups who are here with us today, and I hope you’re having a good time, too.
But, of course, most of all, I want to recognize our guest of honor, our 54 Healthy Lunchtime Challenge winners! (Applause.)
Congratulations. (Applause.) Yes, whoop it up. Party in the White House. It’s exciting. I am so proud of you. The President is so proud of you. Oh, look at the room out there. I missed the balloons. (Laughter.) We have been working so hard to make this event special for you.
But these kids have been selected. There were more than 1,500 kids that submitted their recipes for this year’s challenge,and it was not easy to choose just one winner from each state, so this was a competitive experience. You had to claw your way to the finish line. (Laughter.) I hope you didn't push and shove anyone on the way up to the top. But you made it. But you’re all here because a panel of distinguished judges agreed that your recipes were the very best.
And I want to thank all the judges. Sam was one of those judges. (Applause.) There’s a lot of eating. Did you taste all 1,500 recipes?
MR. KASS: 110 dishes.
MRS. OBAMA: 110 dishes.
MR. KASS: That's a lot.
MRS. OBAMA: Thank you, Sam. (Laughter.) Well done.
But yours were the most nutritious and the most delicious, all right? So healthy and good, too, right? And you guys took very different paths to get here. Some of you started cooking as a way to bond with your families -- and that was true for Genene Wedd. Hey, Genene, how are you? From California. He said, “I love cooking with my mom. It is fun spending time with her and talking about my day.”
And for some of you, cooking is how you celebrate your culture or other cultures you’re interested in. Lucy Hickerson --where’s Lucy? I know I saw Lucy. Where are you, Lucy? Lucy is from Kentucky, and she made a pocket with sweet potatoes and kale. And she describes her dish as a combination of an Indian samosa, a Spanish empanada and an Asian spring roll. And what Lucy says, “It’s like going around the world in one bite.” (Laughter.)
And some of you like to cook because you’re good at it and hope to make it a career. That’s why Hannah Foley from Pennsylvania right here -– as she said -- she said, “I love to cook and hope to one day be a chef with my own show on the Food Network.” (Laughter.) Wait, she’s got a title. (Laughter.) It’s called, “H to the F to the Hannah Foley Chef.”
(Laughter.) Yes, that's been in my head for many days. (Laughter.) That's why I knew it. H to the F -- okay.
But no matter how you got to the White House today, you’re all here for one simple reason. And I think Adrianna Nelson from West Virginia -- Adrianna, where are you? Hi, you. This is what she said. She said, “I love to create healthy recipes because I feel great when I eat healthy.” That's why you’re here. Like Adrianna, you all know that what you eat affects how you feel, and how much energy you have, and how well you do at school.
And that’s really why I started Let's Move. I did it because I care deeply about the kids in this country. I really do.
Not just as First Lady, but I’m a mom, I’ve got two kids. I love them, and I love you all just as much. So it’s important for me to make sure that the things I do for my girls are the same things that every kid in this country has access to.
And that’s why we’ve been working so hard to help families cook healthy meals at home, and to get more grocery stores into our communities, and to get companies to market healthier foods to kids.
And most of all, that’s why we’ve been fighting so hard for our new healthy school lunches. And I have to tell you, and I said this to some of you in the photo line that you all are my inspiration. Kids like you really do inspire me. You all represent 54 reasons why we know that we can do so much better by our kids when it comes to eating healthy because the truth is, is that if 8-, 9- and 10-year-old kids can cook and happily eat a healthy, tasty meal, then there is absolutely no reason why we can’t get nutritious food into every school in this country that kids will actually enjoy. You guys remind me of that every single day.
Now, I know that some of you might have friends who want to bring back the junk food in the schools, right? Because there’s always those kids. They're like, give me my junk food back. (Laughter.) And I know that in recent months, we’ve even seen grownups, including folks in Congress, trying to undo some of the progress that we’ve made to get healthier food into our schools. And while the vast majority of the schools are doing just fine with these new standards, those few complaining voices happen to be the loudest voices and they’re getting the most attention right now.
So here’s what I’m going to ask you to do for this year. I need you guys to make your voices heard, too. It’s important.
And don’t be shy. I want you to speak up, talk to your classmates and your teachers. Share with them what you’ve learned about healthy eating and cooking, about how to craft interesting things. Like, Braeden, you might even get your school to test your recipe in the lunchroom for other kids. Teach them what you know about healthy eating.
And also, to the parents, parents play a really important role in what happens on the ground. And in many instances, parents are way more powerful than people like us in the White House. So I urge you guys to speak up as well, and to continue speaking up. Go to those PTA meetings and those school board meetings and tell them what you know and what you’re learning,to make sure that they're listening to all the voices on this issue.
There’s a lot of money involved in feeding our kids at school. We are currently spending $10 billion a year -- did you hear that, $10 billion a year -- on our school lunch programs. So it’s not surprising that there are certain interests that are resisting change and trying to take us back to the old ways of doing business, because for them there’s a lot of money is on the line. But you all have a right to expect that your hard-earned tax dollars will be spent on food that meets basic nutrition standards.
It’s as simple as that. Because when you are working so hard to prepare nutritious foods at home, I know that you don’t want all that work undone when you send your kids off to school and they’re eating in the lunchroom. So we can’t afford to stay silent on this issue, because if we do we’re going to wind up right back where we started. And that’s not acceptable.
Because I know that everyone in this room, at least, and many people around the country know that the food our kids are eating today will affect their health for decades. We are laying an imprint on our kids with everything they put into their bodies today. We know so much more about how nutrition and exercise impacts our children’s ability to focus and succeed both in school and in life.
And that’s why you guys, as parents, are so passionately supporting your kids on this issue -- you know that this is real,this isn’t a joke. So what I don’t want to have happen is that 20 years from now I don’t want us to be looking back and saying to ourselves, man, we were almost there, we were right on the brink of transforming our kids’ health, but then things got tough and expensive, and then we didn’t stand up and we didn’t speak up, and we gave up too soon.
Our kids deserve better than that. And they don’t know, but we know -- we know better. All of you kids, like kids across this country, deserve everything that we adults can muster up for you. I have to tell my kids that every day -- I still know more than they do. (Laughter.) So when we know better, we have to do better for you.
So I hope that you all will serve as ambassadors, okay? And think about, as Braeden did, how you will pay this forward. And there are many, many ways you’re going to pay it forward. There’s no one right answer on how you’re going to do it. But when you get a chance to do something this special and to come to the White House, and have all this press and all these special things going on, I know for me when I think about my advantages, I think, I have to give that back to somebody else.
That is my obligation. That’s the price I pay for standing here and hanging out.
So I want you to think about what you’re going to do. I want you to keep talking to other kids about eating healthy. Help them learn. Help them try new things. And you’re going to run into bumps and bruises -- I know, Braeden, it must have been hard work starting your new non-profit organization. I’m sure it wasn’t easy every step of the way, but it was so worth it, right, for the thanks that you get and knowing that you impact the lives of others.
So I know each of you can do that in your own special way. And we’re going to do this again next year, so I hope that one of you will be standing here like Braeden, being able to share all the great things that you’ve done over the course of the year. I can’t wait to see what you guys accomplish. You all are pretty amazing young people.
So I think with that, it’s time to eat, don’t you think? I’m a little hungry. I just had fruit for breakfast so I’m really ready to try all these dishes. (Applause.) You guys, have a great time. And I will see you after lunch. Enjoy.
(Applause.)
Wait, wait. We have a special guest -- Braeden knew about this -- but another person who likes this event just as much as me, who never gets invited to sit down is the President of the United States. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Hello, everybody! I am not going to hold up the meal -- everybody sit down. (Laughter.) I just wanted to come by because I love the event. First of all, we have a lot of state dinners around here.
MRS. OBAMA: We do.
THE PRESIDENT: They’re not always as cheerful and fun as this. (Laughter.) First of all, everybody is older and a little stodgier. But this is a much hipper crowd. More colorful outfits -- so I like that. But I also just love seeing young people who are doing wonderful things. We are so proud of you. To see the kind of leadership you’re taking and the way that you’ve really thrown yourselves into these projects is just really inspiring.
And sometimes people ask me, you know, Mr. President, you have this really tough job and there is always stuff happening all around the world, and how do you keep up with all of it and how do you keep your spirits up? And my answer is, because I meet young people every day who I know are energetic and are full of great ideas and are going to be continuing to make this country better. This is one way to do it. You guys are leaders in your schools and in your communities, and you’re helping to teach folks the importance of good nutrition, the importance of putting good fuel in your bodies so that you’re living healthy, active lives.
And by the way, one thing -- maybe I shouldn’t say this, but it’s not like our family -- including me -- don’t have some snacks once in a while -- (laughter) -- that may not be on the perfect nutrition chart.
MRS. OBAMA: It’s true. (Laughter.)
THE PRESIDENT: Each of us have our weaknesses, so I’m going to reveal some right now. Malia, ice cream. I mean, basically, it’s very hard for her to turn down ice cream. But she has learned to kind of control herself when it comes to ice cream.
MRS. OBAMA: It’s hard.
THE PRESIDENT: It’s hard, but she still has fun when she does have ice cream. In fact, the fact that she doesn’t have ice cream every day means when she has it --
MRS. OBAMA: It’s very special.
THE PRESIDENT: -- it’s like, hallelujah. She starts -- she is so happy. (Laughter.) Sasha -- what would you say is Sasha’s pig-out indulgence food?
MRS. OBAMA: She likes sushi.
THE PRESIDENT: Oh, no. (Laughter.)
MRS. OBAMA: It’s what she’s into.
THE PRESIDENT: She is kind of into sushi right now. She’s a little -- I love sushi, so maybe I had some influence there. But let’s say -- her pies. She pretty much takes dessert whenever she can.
MRS. OBAMA: Pie.
THE PRESIDENT: Pie. She’s like me. My big thing -- chips and guacamole. (Laughter.) Basically, if there is a bowl of good chips and guacamole --
MRS. OBAMA: He loses it.
THE PRESIDENT: -- I lose my mind. (Laughter.) I lose my mind. And the First Lady -- French fries. (Laughter.)
MRS. OBAMA: But I’m going to say this. I’m making a vow -- I’m going to take a break from French fries.
THE PRESIDENT: Really?
MRS. OBAMA: Yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Wow, that’s big. (Laughter and applause.)
Now, the reason I make this point is that the question is not can you never have anything -- it’s, on a day-to-day basis, at lunches, at breakfast, at dinner, is your basic nutrition something that’s going to make you strong and make you healthy?
And if it is, then having fun food that may not be perfect for you, that’s okay, too.
But we’re just all trying to develop good habits. And the one thing I know about all these young people is they’ve got great work habits, because, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to do everything that they’ve done. They’ve got great habits of caring about other people, because they’re out there spreading the word about what they’re doing. And as a consequence, I’m really optimistic about what all these great young leaders are going to achieve in the future.So good luck. Have a great Kids State Dinner -- even though it’s technically lunch. (Laughter.) Calling it a state lunch-- there was a debate about this and we thought --
MRS. OBAMA: It doesn’t work.
THE PRESIDENT: -- it doesn’t make sense, because we have state dinners. So it’s a Kids State Dinner, even though it’s noon.
And parents, good job, everybody. You’ve got great kids. (Applause.)
