BBC新闻100篇BBC News Item 1 政治:英国首相确定大选时间The BBC has learned that the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has decided that the British general election will take place on May 6th. Mr. Brown will go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow Tuesday to ask Queen Elizabeth to dissolve parliament, and then make a formal announcement of the election date. That will start the official election campaign, which, a BBC correspondent says, will be dominated by issues of taxation and spending in the wake of the global recession.BBC News Item 2 政治:大选在即,布朗遭遇挑战Less than six months before a general election in Britain, the governing Labour Party is embroiled again in internal strife. Two former cabinet ministers have called for secret ballot of members to decide whether the Prime Minister Gordon Brown should continue as party leader. Mr. Brown has called a general election by June this year. Our political correspondent Rob Watson reports.The two former cabinet ministers Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt had stunned everyone at Westminster with their last-minute efforts to challenge Gordon Brown’s leadership. But Downing Street and Labour Party officials have moved quickly to quash any revolts. Most importantly, current cabinet ministers have come out and backed the prime minister, orbiting some cases with little apparent enthusiasm. So the latest challenge looks likely to be short lift. Although many within the Labour Party doubt Mr. Brown’s leadership qualities, they also seem to think it would only make things worse to get rid of him before the general election.BBC News Item 3 军事:英国核缩减计划The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is offering to scale back Britain’s nuclear deterrence if an international agreement is reached to cut the world’s nuclear arsenals. Mr. Brown is expected to tell a special session of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday that he’ll be willing to give up one of four royal navy submarines that carry Trident nuclear missiles. Officials are insisting that cost isn’t a factor here. Here’s our defence correspondent Nick Childs.Gordon Brown is saying he’ll be ready to throw part of the trident force into the port in the context of a much bigger global disarmament deal. He said so in general terms before. This offer though is more concrete. There is a growing sense that to avoid what some fear could be a sudden cascade of new nuclear states, the established nuclear powers need to do more in terms of disarmament to keep the proliferation regime intact. The Prime Minister will hope his move will be seen as an important gesture. But the key to the process will be the actions of the big players, the United States and Russia.BBC News Item 4 军事:英国派军阿富汗The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to confirm that he is sending hundreds more troops to Afghanistan, bringing the total number of British troops there to about 9,500. Britain has the second largest NATO contingent in Afghanistan after the United States. Our defensecorrespondent Caroline Wyatt reports.In his statement on Afghanistan, it’s believed Mr. Brown will say he’s agreed in principle to send around 500 extra British troops to Helmand. The military advice says that extra forces are needed to help maintain progress and dominate the ground more effectively to keep the Taliban out of key areas. However, there will be caveats. The Prime Minister will want assurances from military chiefs that the extra troops will be properly equipped. But he’ll also expect Britain’s NATO partners to follow suit by offering more forces themselves. NATO defense ministers are likely to discuss troop levels on a meeting formally in Bratislava next week.BBC News Item 5 经济:欧美股市大跌Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying and could spread to other countries. Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency Standard & Poor’s downgraded Greek debt to a level known informally as junk. Nils Blythe has more.Standard & Poor’s downgraded its assessment of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status because of the growing danger that the bond holders will not be paid back in full. Many big investment funds have rules that forbid them from holding junk bonds, says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling. Share markets have taken fright, fearing that if Greece does default on its debts, it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds and could trigger a wider financial crisis. Already pressure is mounting on Portugal which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today, although it remains above junk status.BBC News Item 6 经济:IMF要求各国进一步稳定全球金融体系The International Monetary Fund has told governments across the world that further action is needed to help return the global financial system to stability. In a fresh estimate of the scale of the problem, the IMF says global losses on toxic assets could total four trillion dollars. Andrew Walker reports.This report does identify what it calls some early signs of stabilization in financial systems, but there are not many of them. And the IMF says further action will be needed if they’re to be sustained. In two key areas, it says that progress by governments has been piecemeal and reactive, dealing with the problem assets held by financial institutions and how to handle banks that need extra capital. For that problem the report says temporary government ownership may sometime be necessary.BBC News Item 7 经济:德国给予希腊财政援助Officials in Germany say the total financial aid package for Greece could be more than double, the 60 billion dollars that is previously expected. The head of the International Monetary Fund Dominique Strauss-Kahn is in Berlin trying to persuade Germany to agree to the financial rescue plan. He said the deal needed to be implemented quickly as the situation was getting worse every day and could affect other European countries. But the German Chancellor Angola Merkel said Berlin needed to be searching that Greece was serious about spending cuts.BBC News Item 8 经济:IMF正努力帮助希腊解决债务问题The head of the International Monetary Fund says Greece has nothing to fear from the organization. At a news conference in Washington, Dominique Strauss-Kahn said the IMF was trying to provide Greece with the advice and resources necessary to help with its debt problem. Andrew Walker reports from Washington.Mr. Strauss-Kahn was responding to a Greek journalist who said the Greek public are demonizing the IMF that they fear things will be worse with IMF involvement. The agency has a reputation for requiring borrowing countries to make deep cuts in popular government spending programs. Mr. Strauss-Kahn said the Greek people should think of the IMF as a cooperative organization where the countries of the world work together to help those in trouble by providing resources and advice on behalf of the international community.BBC News Item 9 经济:G20财政部长达成协议Finance ministers of the world’s leading industrialized and developing countries, the G20, have agreed to continue supporting the global economic recovery. In a statement released after their meeting in Scotland, the ministers said conditions had improved, but economic and financial recovery was uneven and unemployment a worry. Andrew Walker reports.The communiqué avoids complacency. Although economic and financial conditions have improved, they decided they still need to keep up the initiatives intended to restore growth. The meeting was, however, rather overshadowed by a statement from the British Prime Minister Gordon Brown, suggesting a tax on financial transactions as one of a number of options for making banks pay for the crisis. His calls have been received politely by the finance ministers but several made remarks which suggest that other ways of tackling the problem are rather more likely to be adopted.BBC News Item 10 经济:欧盟达成协议,终止了香蕉贸易争端The European Union has initialed an agreement to end one of the world’s longest-running trade disputes over bananas. The EU, the world’s biggest importer of bananas, is to cut the duty it imposes on Latin American producers of the fruit, while bananas grows in former European colonies will gradually lose the preferential terms they’ve enjoyed. Andrew Walker reports.The deal signed in Geneva commits the European Union to gradually lowering the tariffs it imposes on bananas imported mainly from Latin America. The cut will be over a third by 2017. That will reduce the competitive advantage of a group of countries, mainly former colonies of EU states in Africa and Caribbean, which enjoyed tariff-free access. The EU plans to provide those countries with some compensation, in a shape of nearly 300,000 dollars in additional aid.BBC News Item 11 科技:太阳能飞机The long-awaited take-off of the Solar Impulse was greeted with delight by those who have spent the last seven years working on it.The solar-powered plane has the wing-span of a jumbo jet, but weighs less than a family car.It doesn’t use a single drop of aviation fuel, instead its giant wings are covered with solar cells.The project is the brainchild of Swiss adventurer Bertrand Piccard —he sees the SolarImpulse as a sign of things to come.BBC News Item 12 教育:英国学校开设学普通话课程It’s the world’s fastest growing economy and shows no sign of slowing down, so striking deals with Chinese businesses is now the top priority for every British company that wants to stay ahead in global trade. Now schools in the United Kingdom want to give their students a head start by teaching them Mandarin —and they are making it compulsory.Brighton College is a fee paying private school on the south coast of Britain and already teaches Latin, Spanish and French to its 1,200 pupils. Students can choose between these languages, but from the autumn, which is the beginning of the new academic year in British schools, every student must study Mandarin whether they like it or not.BBC News Item 13 娱乐:奥斯卡大赢家英国The cast and crew of British movies will no longer be hailed as the underdogs at awards ceremonies. At the recent 81st Oscars ceremony, British actors and movies won no less than 11 awards.The list of Oscar winners is usually dominated by American films and actors but 2009 has seen a more international flavour to the ceremony. British actors and actresses have long awaited such global recognition. Kate Winslet was nominated six times for an Oscar before she eventually won the Best Actress award at this year’s ceremony.Slumdog Millionaire lived up to its status as a global success and movie phenomenon. The low-budget movie swept the board winning eight Oscars, including Best Director and Best Picture. The movie, which documents the life of a young Indian boy after he wins a TV game show, has definitely helped to raise the profile of the British film industry.Summarising the national feeling, British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, issued a statement saying “Britain is showing it has the talent to lead the world”.BBC News Item 14 人物:英女王也是网民It might seem like an unlikely match —an ancient institution getting to grips with cutting edge technology —but the British royal family has been active online for more than a decade.They launched their own website in 1997. The Queen’s Christmas message is available as a podcast, and a year ago the official Royal Channel was launched on YouTube, showing videos of the family at work.Royal watchers describe the 82 year old Queen as a silver surfer —someone who’s enthusiastic about the internet and who keeps in touch with younger members of her family by email.BBC News Item 15 体育:伦敦马拉松This weekend, around 35,000 runners filled the streets of London, running the 26th annual London Marathon. The course is 26.2 miles long (42 km), and goes past many of London’s landmarks, such as the Tower of London, the famous 19th century ship Cutty Sark, the Houses of Parliament and Buckingham Palace. The runners actually run over Tower Bridge.BBC News Item 16 体育:牛津剑桥划船赛Oxford and Cambridge are the oldest and most famous universities in Britain, and there has always been a great rivalry between the two institutions. But the most public competition between the two is the annual Boat Race. The 2006 Boat Race will take place on 2nd April, and will be the 152nd race of its kind.Both universities are located near rivers, and rowing is a popular and prestigious sport. The very first race took place in 1829, when a Cambridge student challenged a school-friend studying at Oxford. Ever since, the defeated team from the previous year challenges the opposition to a rematch. The only times when no Boat Races took place were during the First and Second World Wars.BBC News Item 17 政治:美国民主党得到参议院60个席位President Obama’s Democratic Party has secured the critical 60 seat majority in the US Senate that can help it override any Republican obstructions on Capitol Hill. This happened when the Democrats won the last undecided senate seat from November’s election after the Supreme Court in the state of Minnesota declared the Democratic candidate Al Franken the winner. Richard Lister reports from Washington.For almost eight months the two candidates had been locked in a bitter fight in the Minnesota Courts over the result of November’s Senate election. Just a few hundred votes separated them after the 2.8 million cast. The initial count favoured the Republican Norm Coleman but the recount gave the majority to his Democratic Party rival Al Franken. And the State Supreme Court is now upheld that verdict. His victory gives the Democrats 60 votes in the senate and the potential to overturn Republican efforts to block legislation.BBC News Item 18 政治:美国和以色列关系面临考验Reports in Israeli media say Israel’s ambassador to the United States Michael Oren told Israeli diplomats that American-Israeli relations were facing a crisis of historic proportions. Washington is furious at last week’s announcement by Israel during a visit by the US Vice President that more new Jewish homes were to be built in occupied East Jerusalem. But on Monday, the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament the building project would continue. Paul Wood reports from Jerusalem.Mr. Netanyahu has been presented with a choice, a breach with the right-wing members of his coalition, or with the Americans. With his speech to the Knesset, he seems to have chosen to put the needs of domestic politics first. It seems the Americans are so angry because they believe Mr. Netanyahu went back on an understanding. This was apparently that Israel would not push forward of any big new settlement building projects in East Jerusalem. This was necessary of the Palestinians were to be persuaded to join the long delayed negotiations so painstakingly put together by US mediators.BBC News Item 19 军事:美国将继续驻军阿富汗Leading United States officials have said the American military will continue its presence in Afghanistan for a number of years despite beginning to withdraw in 2011. In a series of mediareappearances, officials stressed that the date should be seen as the beginning of handing over responsibility to Afghan forces. Imtiaz Tyab report from Washington.Speaking on a Sunday morning political chat show, the Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that despite President Obama’s plan to begin withdrawing the troops from the region in July, 2011, the US was likely to maintain a significant military presence in Afghanistan for a number of years. The Defense Secretary said the pullout date was said to underline the urgent need for the Afghans to speed up recruiting and training soldiers and getting them into the field. A comment’s followed criticism from opposition Republicans who say announcing a withdraw date sent a dangerous signal to insurgents.BBC News Item 20 政治:奥巴马推迟访问印尼和澳大利亚President Obama is postponing a trip to Indonesia and Australia, so he can stay in Washington to try to get his health care reforms pass by congress. Mr. Obama had already delayed the long arranged trip once and was due to set off on Sunday. But with the crucial vote on the reform is expected within days, the trip has been put off entirely until June. From Washington Mark Martell reports.The president’s make changes to American health care insurance system, his flagship domestic legislation is dragged on for over a year and divided the country. He will be damaged if he can’t get it through. The climax is near, so far there is no sign of any republicans voting for it, its fate lies in the hands of handful in the president’s own party, who either feel it allows for easier abortion or who simply fear a back lash in November’s elections, if they vote for a measures their constitution dislike.BBC News Item 21 政治:英国新首相After days of political horse-trading the UK finally has a new government and a new Prime Minister, following the resignation of Labour’s Gordon Brown on Tuesday evening.Since last Thursday’s general election resulted in a hung parliament, a situation in which none of the political parties has an overall majority, British politicians have been attempting to form a coalition government.Such a government is comparatively rare in the UK. Indeed this is the first coalition since the Second World War.BBC News Item 22 军事:奥巴马对核安全峰会的评价President Barack Obama says the summit conference on nuclear security which has just ended in Washington was a testament to what is possible when nations come together. He said the 49 countries who attended had come to a four-point plan for future success in securing the security of all nuclear materials produced or stockpiled around the globe. Mr. Obama said the summit had made a real contribution to a safer world.BBC News Item 23 政治:希拉里出访莫斯科The American Secretary of States Hillary Clinton is in Moscow to try to persuade Russia to support American policy on Iran. The US wants Russia to agree to the option of imposingadditional sanctions on Iran if it does not suspend its uranium enrichment program by the end of the year. Richard Galpin reports from Moscow.As a permanent member of United Nations Security Council, Russia has the power to veto resolutions. And Moscow has always said it does not believe sanctions are an effective way of promoting change. But recently, President Medvedev has indicated his government made ultimately accept that sanctions are inevitable. There are other big issues to be discussed while Mrs. Clinton is in Russia, including the plan for Moscow and Washington to sign a new treaty in early December for a further cut in their large arsenals of nuclear weapons.BBC News Item 24 军事:美国和联合国敦促巴以恢复和平谈判The United States and the United Nations are urging Israel and Palestinians to resume peace talks after a day of unrest in Jerusalem. The American Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Washington wanted to insure both sides were fully committed to peace efforts. The UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned as illegal recent Israeli plans to build new settlements in East Jerusalem. Barbara Plett reports from New York.Ban Ki-moon urged restraint in Jerusalem, reminding Israelis and Palestinians of the final statues of the city were supposed to be decided in negotiations. He repeated condemnation of Israeli plans to build 1,600 new homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied eastern part of the city, stating again that such settlements are illegal under international law. On Friday, the Secretary General is set to attend a ministerial meeting of the quartet which groups the UN, the European Union, Russia and America. He said members will discuss additional measures to trying rescue tentative steps to resume Israeli-Palestinian peace talks although he didn’t say what they were.BBC News Item 25 经济:美国8月份汽车销售成绩大好Car manufacturers in the United States reported their best results so far this year in August, in large part due to a government scheme aimed at encouraging people to trade in their old cars for more fuel-efficient new ones. The top results among American carmakers were posted by Ford which saw its sales rise by 17% from August of last year.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is taking civil action against the bank. Michelle Fleury sent this report from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.The Securities and Exchange Commission alleges the bank sold investors a financial product based on subprime mortgages that was designed to lose value. Goldman Sachs has denied the allegations and says it will defend the firm and its reputation. This is the first time that the US government has explicitly accused one of Wall Street’s premier institutions of fraud relating to the collapse of the US housing market.BBC News Item 27 经济:美国财政官员失职An investigation of United States has found that the country’s top financial regulator, the Securities and the Exchange Commissioner SEC, fail to uncover the 65 billion dollar fraud carried out by the convicted financier Bernard Madoff over a 16-year period, despite 5 separate investigations in his business dealings. Greg Wood reports.The report by the SEC’s expected general David Kotz reads like a catalog of bungled opportunities to catch Bernard Madoff, long before he owned up to the largest fraud in US history. He was investigated five times. SEC staff caught him in lies but failed to follow them up. They rejected offers from whistleblowers to provide additional evidence. Many of the investigators were inexperienced. The scale of the SEC’s incompetence is laid bare by this report.BBC News Item 28 经济:美国银行同意支付罚款了结控诉The Bank of America has agreed to pay 33 million dollars to settle accusations by the US government over billions of dollars of bonuses paid out last year by its investment on Merrill Lynch. Bank of America took over Merrill Lynch to save it from collapse in a deal backed by American taxpayers’ money. John Bithry reports.Bank of America had promised its shareholders that no bonuses would be paid to bankers at Merrill Lynch without its express permission. It’s agreed to buy the struggling investment bank in September. On the same weekend that talks to save Lehman Brothers from collapse failed. Like Lehman, Merrill Lynch was brought to its knees by debt links to the US housing market that became toxic and lost its value. But after Merrill was rescued by BOA, it went ahead and paid its staff 3.6 billion dollars in bonuses anyway. Shortly afterwards Bank of America was forced to go to the government for billions of dollars in extra taxpayer support, and the revelation of the payments caused a public outcry.BBC News Item 29 经济:加州财政预算出了问题After weeks of negotiations, the governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has reached an outline agreement with legislative leaders on a plan to tackle the state’s massive budget shortfall. The deal, which will have to be approved by the state legislature, includes plans for billions of dollars in budget cuts, but no tax rises. Peter Bolger reports.California has a budget shortfall of 26 billion dollars. State workers have been put on short time and many social and education services have been cut. The state has even resorted to issuing IOUs to companies it does business with and to individuals who are owed tax refunds. Governor Schwarzenegger described the comprised deal as a basic agreement to close the state’s huge deficit. He and fellow Republicans have refused to raise taxes, all the opposition Democrats said fought to preserve social services.BBC News Item 30 军事:美国德州军事基地枪击案The United States army has formally charged the military officer accused of carrying out last week’s mass shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The officer, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an army psychiatrist, has been under armed guard in a hospital since being wounded in the shooting. Mathew Prize reports from New York.There are still many questions surrounding the mass shooting at the America’s largest military base, but one of them has now been answered. Major Nidal Hasan, an army psychiatrist who was due to be deployed to Afghanistan, has been charged with 13 counts of murder. That could rise if prosecutors decide also to charge him with the murder of an unborn child being carried by one of his victims. He will be prosecuted in a military court. If convicted, he could face the death penalty, although no one has actually been executed under the US military justice system for almost 50 years.BBC News Item 31 军事:奥巴马就军事基地枪击案发言President Barack Obama has told memorial service at the Fort hood army base in Texas that United States must never forget the 13 men and women who died in the shooting there last week. He said the killings couldn’t be justified.“It may be hard to comprehend the twisted logic that led to this tragedy. But this much we do know no faith justifies these murderous and craven acts. No just and loving god looks upon them with favor. For what is done we know the killer will be met with justice in this world and the next.”The president paid tribute to those who’d been not able, as he put it, “to escape the horror of war, even in the comfort of home.”BBC News Item 32 科技:美国奋进号航天飞机升空The American Space Shuttle Endeavor has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida on its sixth attempt after more than a month of delays caused by fuel leaks and thunderstorms. Bill Gerstenmaier of NASA said finally the weather had been favorable and the shuttle crew were looking ahead to completing the installation of the Japanese Kibo laboratory on the space station.We had a great launch today. We were ready. The weather finally cooperated and we had just an awesome launch today. Again, I would caution you that the mission is very challenging in front of us. The five EV As, the robotic activities will take the absolute best the teams have both in Houston and in orbit. And the teams are fully prepared they are ready to go do what they need to go do and we look forward to the exciting activities as we install the Exposed Facility out on the Kibo module.BBC News Item 33 科技:登月飞行A panel of experts appointed by the White House has warned that current plans to send astronauts back to the moon in preparation for manned missions to Mars are just not viable. One of the panel members Li Ruoqiao says the space agency NASA hasn’t been given enough funds to realize the plans.“That is when the visions for space aspirations were first announced in 2004 there was expectation of a certain budget level of the next several years. In fact over the last five years those numbers are nothing realized. So because of that we are in a pickle that we are in now.”The experts say the current budget of the space agency NASA would need to be increased by billions of dollars. Without the extra money, the experts say, NASA would have to work with private companies now trying to embark on commercial space flights.BBC News Item 34 灾难:美国加州森林大火Wildfires are a feature of the California Summer but it’s unusual for them to break out so close to major centers of population. It’s hot here and getting hotter which is driving the brush making it all the more in cindery, and forecast is such that there has been a speculation it could take firefighters a week to bring this blaze under control. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is pleading with people in the path of the flames to evacuate as soon as they’re told to do so.BBC News Item 35 政治:抗议苏丹总统选举Most of the main opposition parties in Sudan are withdrawing from all the elections this month —the first multi-party elections since 1986. They won’t take part because of concerns about fraud and security. On Wednesday, the presidential candidate for the former southern rebels Yassir Arman pulled out. President Obama’s Special Envoy General Scott Gration has been in Khartoum trying to save the elections. James Copnall sent this report from Khartoum.Several major opposition parties have announced they will boycott the Sudanese elections at every level. Earlier today, they told the BBC they would boycott the presidential elections in protest of what they believe will not be free and fair polls. Now several of the parties have decided not to compete in the parliamentary or state elections either. The decision strikes a real blow at the credibility of elections which were meant to hold the democratic transformation in Sudan.BBC News Item 36 军事:苏丹达尔富尔问题In what’s been seen as a significant step towards peace in Darfur, the Sudanese government has signed a temporary ceasefire agreement with JAM, one of the main rebel factions. The other main rebel group has so far refused talks with the government. James Copnall reports from Khartoum.The deal is believed to include a temporary ceasefire and a framework agreement for future talks. The Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir said the death sentence against the JAM fighters convicted of attacking Omdurman had been quashed, and 30% of them had been released as a goodwill measure. His act details of the agreement are not yet clear, but the fact has just been signed is a significant step forward in the peace process in Darfur. United Nations estimates that 300,000 people have died in Darfur, but the Sudanese government puts the figure at 10,000.BBC News Item 37 军事:沙特的武装计划袭击石油装置The authorities in Saudi Arabia say they’ve arrested more than 100 militants suspected of links to Al-Qaeda who were planning to attack oil installation in the kingdom.

英语bbc新闻材料Title: "BBC News: UK Economy Experiences Slowdown in Second Quarter"Introduction:The UK economy has recently experienced a slowdown in the second quarter, according to the latest report from the BBC News. This article will delve into the reasons behind this economic decline and its potential implications for various sectors.1. Impact of Brexit Uncertainty:The ongoing Brexit uncertainty has significantly impacted the UK economy. With the deadline for Britain's departure from the European Union fast approaching, businesses have been hesitant to invest and make long-term plans. This uncertainty has resulted in a decrease in consumer confidence and a slowdown in economic growth.2. Decline in Manufacturing Sector:One of the key contributors to the economic slowdown is the decline in the manufacturing sector. Manufacturing output has been affected by a combination of factors, includingglobal trade tensions, a slowdown in the global economy, and Brexit-related uncertainty. This decline has had a ripple effect on other sectors of the economy, such as transportation and construction.3. Weak Business Investment:Business investment has also been weak, exacerbating the economic slowdown. Many businesses have adopted a cautious approach due to uncertainty surrounding Brexit. This has led to a decrease in capital expenditure and the postponement of investment decisions, ultimately impacting economic growth.4. Sluggish Retail Sales:The retail sector has been facing challenges as well, with sluggish retail sales contributing to the economic slowdown. Consumers have been more cautious with their spending, as rising inflation and stagnant wage growth have eroded their purchasing power. Additionally, the increase in online shopping has put pressure on brick-and-mortar retailers, leading to store closures and job losses.5. Impact on Employment:The economic slowdown has also had an impact on employment. With businesses being cautious about their spending, hiring has slowed down and some companies have even implemented job cuts. This has resulted in increased unemployment rates and added pressure on the government to implement measures to stimulate job creation.6. Government Response:In response to the economic slowdown, the UK government has taken steps to mitigate the impact. The Bank of England has lowered interest rates, aiming to stimulate borrowing and spending. The government has also announced various fiscal measures, such as increased infrastructure spending and tax cuts for businesses, to boost economic activity.7. Potential Implications:The slowdown in the UK economy may have several implications for different sectors. For example, the construction industry may experience a decline in new projects and investments, leading to job losses and reduced growth. The financial services sector may face challenges as firms consider relocating operations due to Brexit uncertainty. Additionally, the tourism industry may be affected by reducedconsumer spending and a decrease in international visitors.Conclusion:The BBC News report highlights the recent slowdown in the UK economy during the second quarter. Brexit uncertainty, decline in the manufacturing sector, weak business investment, sluggish retail sales, and its impact on employment are all contributing factors. The government has responded with measures to stimulate economic growth, but the implications for various sectors remain uncertain. Monitoring the situation and implementing appropriate strategies will be crucial to revive the UK economy and ensure its long-term stability.。

bbc英语新闻报道短篇篇一:英语新闻报道短篇英语新闻报道短篇60词BBC News with Julie Candler.Hillary Clinton is to launch her bid to e the first female President of the United States on Sunday. The former Secretary of State is expected to use a video posted on the Internet to announce that she"s seeking the Democratic Party"s nomination for next year"s election. Nick Bryant reports from Washington.“Ordinarily, presidential candidates launch their campaigns in front of adoring crowds in a blaze of red, white and blue. But Hillary Clinton will offer a less rather montage, a video posted online and promoted on social media. Then it"s believed she"ll head to Iowa and New Hampshire to meet individual voters in fairly intimate settings, rather than the usual rallies.

The Russians call it "cha"i",which sounds like "chaye" (tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China,and the English word "tea" sounds similar to the pronunciation of its counterpart in Xiamen (Amoy).The Japanese character for tea is written exactly the same as it is in Chinese,though pronounced with a slight difference.The habit of tea drinking spread to Japanin the 6th century,but it was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries.Now the number of tea drinkers in the world is legion and is still on the increase.篇三:英语新闻报道短篇30个词的英语新闻短篇【英语新闻报道短篇】Cool down in housing market continues 2014-12-14A fresh batch of mixed economic data ing from the National Bureau of Statistics on Friday.Chinas industrial output rose by a less-than-expected 7.2 percent in November from a year earlier,which means that housing market will continue downward 篇四:英语新闻报道短篇我想要一篇英文的新闻报道帮个忙啊CNS June 25 __ Roundup, Korean Foreign Ministry confirmed on the 25th Macao has received the banks thawing of the Korean capital, and said that these funds will be used for humanitarian purposes.

[00:07.56]Mr. Brown will go to Buckingham Palace tomorrow Tuesday[00:11.41]to ask Queen Elizabeth to dissolve parliament,[00:13.53]and then make a formal announcement of the election date.[00:16.34]That will start the official election campaign,[00:18.96]which, a BBC correspondent says,[00:21.32]will be dominated by issues of taxation and spending[00:24.31]in the wake of the global recession.BBC新闻100篇BBC News Item 2[ti:][ar:][al:][by:人人听力网][00:00.00]Less than six months before a general election in Britain,[00:04.71]the governing Labour Party is embroiled again in internal strife.[00:08.20]Two former cabinet ministers have called for secret ballot of members [00:12.11]to decide whether the Prime Minister Gordon Brown[00:14.66]should continue as party leader.[00:16.53]Mr. Brown has called a general election by June this year.[00:19.27]Our political correspondent Rob Watson reports.[00:22.44]The two former cabinet ministers Geoff Hoon and Patricia Hewitt [00:26.98]had stunned everyone at Westminster[00:29.22]with their last-minute efforts to challenge Gordon Brown's leadership. [00:32.64]But Downing Street and Labour Party officials[00:35.81]have moved quickly to quash any revolts.[00:38.18]Most importantly, current cabinet ministers[00:42.03]have come out and backed the prime minister,[00:44.40]orbiting some cases with little apparent enthusiasm.[00:48.19]So the latest challenge looks likely to be short lift.[00:51.86]Although many within the Labour Party doubt[00:54.60]Mr. Brown's leadership qualities,[00:56.28]they also seem to think it would only make things worse[00:59.58]to get rid of him before the general election.[ti:] BBC新闻100篇 BBC News Item 3[ar:][al:][by:人人听力网][00:00.00]The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown[00:03.89]is offering to scale back Britain's nuclear deterrence[00:06.81]if an international agreement is reached[00:09.30]to cut the world's nuclear arsenals.[00:11.35]Mr. Brown is expected to tell a special[00:13.72]session of the United Nations Security Council on Thursday [00:17.14]that he'll be willing to give up one of four royal navy submarines [00:21.24]that carry Trident nuclear missiles.[00:23.23]Officials are insisting that cost isn't a factor here.[00:26.47]Here's our defence correspondent Nick Childs.[00:28.58]Gordon Brown is saying he'll be ready to[00:31.51]throw part of the trident force into the port[00:33.37]in the context of a much bigger global disarmament deal.[00:35.92]He said so in general terms before.[00:38.60]This offer though is more concrete.[00:40.59]There is a growing sense that to avoid what some fear[00:44.07]could be a sudden cascade of new nuclear states,[00:46.50]the established nuclear powers need to do more[00:48.99]in terms of disarmament[00:50.35]to keep the proliferation regime intact.[00:52.34]The Prime Minister will hope his move[00:54.40]will be seen as an important gesture.[00:56.08]But the key to the process will be the actions of the big players, [00:59.44]the United States and Russia.BBC新闻100篇BBC News Item 4[ti:][ar:][al:][by:人人听力网][00:00.00]The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is expected to confirm [00:04.60]that he is sending hundreds more troops to Afghanistan,[00:07.09]bringing the total number of British troops there to about 9,500.[00:10.76]Britain has the second largest NATO contingent in Afghanistan[00:15.12]after the United States.[00:16.92]Our defense correspondent Caroline Wyatt reports.[00:19.41]In his statement on Afghanistan,[00:21.90]it's believed Mr. Brown will say he's agreed in principle[00:24.26]to send around 500 extra British troops to Helmand.[00:27.74]The military advice says that extra forces are needed[00:30.67]to help maintain progress[00:31.97]and dominate the ground more effectively[00:34.03]to keep the Taliban out of key areas.[00:36.08]However, there will be caveats.[00:38.50]The Prime Minister will want assurances from military chiefs[00:41.37]that the extra troops will be properly equipped.[00:44.10]But he'll also expect Britain's NATO partners to follow suit[00:47.27]by offering more forces themselves.[00:49.33]NATO defense ministers are likely to discuss troop levels[00:52.69]on a meeting formally in Bratislava next week.BBC新闻100篇 BBC News Item 5[ti:][ar:][al:][by:人人听力网][00:00.00]Stock markets in Europe and the United States have fallen sharply [00:04.11]in response to further signs that the debt crisis in Greece is intensifying [00:08.46]and could spread to other countries.[00:10.51]Share prices in New York, London, Frankfurt and Paris[00:13.81]fell by more than 2% after a major international credit rating agency [00:18.41]Standard & Poor's downgraded Greek debt[00:21.40]to a level known informally as junk.[00:23.33]Nils Blythe has more.[00:24.82]Standard & Poor's downgraded its assessment[00:27.56]of Greek bonds to the so-called junk status[00:30.04]because of the growing danger[00:31.97]that the bond holders will not be paid back in full.[00:34.59]Many big investment funds have rules[00:37.45]that forbid them from holding junk bonds,[00:39.13]says the move is likely to trigger a further round of selling.[00:42.17]Share markets have taken fright,[00:44.16]fearing that if Greece does default on its debts,[00:46.78]it would hit many European banks which hold Greek bonds[00:50.01]and could trigger a wider financial crisis.[00:52.75]Already pressure is mounting on Portugal[00:55.86]which has also seen its credit rating downgraded today,[00:58.84]although it remains above junk status.BBC新闻100篇BBC News Item 6[ti:][ar:][al:][by:人人听力网][00:00.00]The International Monetary Fund[00:02.91]has told governments across the world[00:04.46]that further action is needed[00:06.08]to help return the global financial system to stability.[00:08.75]In a fresh estimate of the scale of the problem,[00:11.37]the IMF says global losses on toxic assets[00:14.35]could total four trillion dollars.

His characters are not modified by the customs of particular places, unpractised by the rest of the world; by the peculiarities of studies or professions, which can operate but upon small numbers; or by the accidents of transient fashions or temporary opinions: they are the genuine progeny of common humanity, such as the world will always supply, and observation will always find. His persons act and speak by the influnce of those general passions and principles by which all minds are agitated, and the whole system of life is continued in motion. In the writings of other poets a character is too often an individual; in those of Shakespeare it is commonly a species.Except from The Major Works by Sammuel Johnson参考译文莎士比亚的才华高于一切作家,至少高于当今的所有作家。

bbc原文带翻译BBC News: Australia's bushfires: A visual guide to the deadly crisis。

澳大利亚森林大火,致命危机的视觉指南。

Australia is currently experiencing one of its worst bushfire seasons in history, with fires burning across the country since September 2019. The fires have claimed the lives of at least 25 people, destroyed over 2,000 homes, and killed an estimated one billion animals.自2019年9月以来,澳大利亚全国都在遭受着史上最严重的森林大火季节之一。

这些大火已经夺去了至少25人的生命,摧毁了超过2000座房屋,并造成了约10亿只动物的死亡。

The causes of the fires are complex, but are largely attributed to a combination of drought, high temperatures, and strong winds. Climate change has also been identified as a contributing factor, with Australia experiencing itshottest and driest year on record in 2019.这些大火的原因复杂,但主要归因于干旱、高温和强风的组合。

气候变化也被认为是一个促成因素,因为澳大利亚在2019年经历了有记录以来最热和最干燥的一年。

The fires have had a devastating impact on Australia's wildlife, with many species facing extinction as a resultof habitat loss and the destruction of their food sources. The koala population has been particularly hard hit, withan estimated 30% of their habitat destroyed in the fires.这些大火对澳大利亚的野生动物产生了毁灭性的影响,许多物种因失去栖息地和食物来源而面临灭绝。

BBC新闻听力100篇News Item 1The Japanese government has played down concern about a possible nuclear meltdown, following a big explosion at a nuclear power station in the north of the country. The blast occurred a day after the area was hit by a powerful earthquake and tsunami. A top government offi cial, Yukio Edano, said a steel container encasing the nuclear reactor had not been ruptured by the blast.News Item 2Fifty thousand Japanese military personnel had been ordered to join the huge rescue and relief operation following the earthquake and tsunami. More than 1,000 people are feared dead. About 400 bodies were found in the town of Rikuzentakata, and Japanese media reports say 10,000 people are unaccounted for in Minamisanriku. Damian Grammaticas in the port of Sendai says the scenes of devastation there are astonishing.News Item 3International disaster relief teams have been sent to Japan. The United Nations said a nine strong UN team of experts would include several Japanese speakers. Britain said it was sending expert assistance after receiving a request from Japan. Singapore is also deploying an urban search and rescue team. American forces stationed in Japan have already been involved in rescue operations, and more than 50 territories and countries have offered assistance.News Item 4As offi cials in Japan struggle to assess the extent of the damage following the tsunami caused by a massive earthquake, it’s been announced that some 300 people are known to have been killed and more than 500 are unaccounted for in the area around the northern coastal city of Sendai. The 8.9-magnitude quake, the biggest ever recorded in Japan, sent a wave of water several meters high sweeping far inland. Its epicenter was about 130km off Japan’s east coast. In the capital Tokyo, several hundred kilometers away, buildings swayed violently during the quake, which was followed by a series of powerful aftershocks.News Item 5Slowly but relentlessly, Colonel Gaddafi’s forces seem to be winning the battle for Ras Lanuf. Opposition fi ghters are still in the town, but they are under intense pressure. The bombing from government warplanes continued today, and there’s a big plume of smoke from the oil installation which was hit a couple of days ago. There’s no sign of either the rebel fi ghters or the local population beginning to fl ee the area. If Ras Lanuf falls, it brings the frontline closer to the main opposition-held city of Benghazi.四级最新资料2012.12大学英语四六级写作技巧PPT(共98页)2012.12大学英语四六级实用总结之阅读技巧【备战2012.12】四六级优秀作文选,最新预测作文哦!【备战2012.12】英语周计划系列丛书:大学英语新四级写作周计划(第4版)2012.12英语周计划系列丛书大学英语新四级阅读周计划(第四版)【备战2012.12】XDF赵丽四级词汇5500串讲(共八十讲更新完毕!)2012.12新东方四级完整版复习资料,辅导班内部用的,和大家分享下2012.12考拉进阶四级30篇预测作文2012.12大学英语四级听力技巧精讲完整版(1-12)英语周计划系列丛书-大学英语新四级综合测试周计划(第4版)【备战2012.12】英语周计划系列丛书:大学英语新四级听力周计划(第4版)2012.12大学英语四级听力技巧精讲(1-12),更新在继续!2012.12环球卓越四级应试宝典,让你备战四级的路上不再有弯路!2012.12环球卓越四级热点作文20篇(写作小册子),不拿白不拿!!!多样式攻克大学英语四级词汇便携版(2012.12完整版)接着送大礼!!!2012.12王长喜四级3000高频词汇周计划送礼啦~~~2012.12王长喜四级30篇预测作文2012.12王长喜四级10套标准听力及原文+答案【好东东】害怕四级短文听力的进,短文听力训练好资料等你下载【好东东】2012.12文都大学英语四级考试一本通关(最新版)【大家网原创】2012年6月16日英语四级考试答案及解析!【好消息】最新2012《大学英语四级模拟试卷》(给力第二版)XDF《2012四级写作范文100篇》,让你最后20天作文得满分~~~【好消息】最新《大学英语四六级20天写作冲关快训》(给力第二版)大家网首发四级考试20天一本通2012年四级听力备考资料~不断更新中~~~大家网首发2012年6月10套大学英语4级考试命题改革与预测试卷(华研外语)大家网首发华研2012年6月四级8套强化听力+文本大家网首发2012年6月四级备考2000词汇卡片(附有听力)大家网首发华研四级2012年6月预测作文16篇+听力大家网首发2012举一反三710分四级写作典型题解历年大学英语四级真题试卷word+答案解析+听力原文+MP3(1989-2011.12)大家网首发2012年考拉进阶上海交通大学四级预测试卷及MP3.rar大家网首发2012举一反三710分四级阅读典型题解大家网首发2012举一反三710分四级综合典型题解大家网首发2012考拉进阶大学英语四级考试25篇押题作文+5套强化听力.rar大家网首发2012考拉进阶大学英语四级机考文件最新消息~大家网原创四级写作话题帖-吐血整理~~2012大学英语四、六级词汇词根词缀记忆法测试版PDF备战2012年6月四级-1000个高频词汇-(听力加强版)大家网原创四六级每日一练(各种题型专项训练)2012最新4级词汇大全(附有音标)四级100条阅读难句~每周更新~~~大家网版2011年12月大学英语四级真题图片版与pdf 版下载【大家网首发】2011.12.17四级听力MP3下载超清晰新东方英语四级精品全程班课件(音频+视频+word)汇总【备战2012】XDF四六级内部资料,过期不候【备战2012】英语四级考试高级语法讲义汇总【四六级机考】机考时代,你有木有加入?(内含机考参考资料)【备战2012年6月】英语四级写作备考推荐必看范文(汇总贴,给你导航)某辅导班四级精讲内部材料,全方位提高四级成绩!!!英语四级考试技巧汇总大全,共175页PDF,要的拿去!更多精华资料请点击【四级备考】历年精华资料大全四六级资料大全/forum-58-1.html2012四级备考资料大全/thread-2764304-1-1.html2012年六级精华资料大全/thread-2764307-1-1.html英语角/forum-439-1.html欢迎加入大家论坛四六级QQ群170208402 221970617 232765165 113796235。

bbc新闻文本(BBC News Text)BBC UN special envoy for Syria says the date of peace conference cannot be setOne of the major sticking points in any peace talks is President Assad. Some opposition leaders say he must step down at some point in the political transition. Others insist he must go before talks can even start. But the president's advisor Doctor Bouthaina Shaaban was clear this issue was not on the table. In a rare interview, she emphasized the president's role would be decided by the Syrian people at the ballot box, in elections or in a referendum. Doctor Shaaban was also scathing about the opposition describing rebel groups as creations of powerful backers like Saudi Arabia.Ballot: voteScathe: severe criticismThe main crux of all peace talks from President Assad, the opposition said that he must step down at a time of political transition, and other opposition even insists that he should leave in peace talks before the start.

In a rare interview, Dr. Shaaban stressed that the president's fate should be decided by the people of Syria in the ballot or referendum.

苏黄共阅一手卷;东坡右手执卷端,左手抚鲁直背;鲁直左手执卷末,右手指卷,如有所语。

东坡现右足,鲁直现左足,身各微侧;其两膝相比者,各隐卷底衣褶中。

佛印绝类弥勒,袒胸露乳,矫首昂视,神情与苏黄不属。

卧右膝,诎右臂支船,而竖其左膝,左臂挂念珠倚之,珠可历历数也。

7、五月,蛙鸣鸟啼,孩子们用柳笛吹一曲春天的歌。

五月,梦想腾飞,路路春光洒下玫瑰花瓣点缀绿野。

Jiabao's final work report to the NPCContinue reading the main storyChina's New Leaders∙China sets7.5%growth target∙Leaders meet for Congress Watch∙How serious is Xi on corruption?∙Will Xi Jinping be different?China's Premier Wen Jiabao promised stable growth,anti-corruption efforts and better welfare provision as he opened an annual session of parliament.Mr Wen,whose work report traditionally begins the session,also called for more balanced development in a speech on past achievements and future plans.This National People's Congress will see the final stage of the country'sonce-in-a-decade leadership change.Communist Party chief Xi Jinping will become president,replacing Hu Jintao.The event will be keenly watched to see who secures other top government posts.This work report-a consensus document approved by the leadership-is Mr Wen's last.He is expected to be replaced by Li Keqiang as premier later in the parliament session.The report set a target of7.5%for economic growth,unchanged from2012,with an inflation target of3.5%,and promised to create more than nine million new urban jobs.Mr Wen said boosting domestic consumption was key,calling it a"long-term strategy for economic development".Noting that dramatic changes to Chinese society had led to a marked increase in social problems,Mr Wen said livelihood issues should be addressed.Continue reading the main storyPeople's Congress:Key events∙Premier Wen Jiabao to give his final"work report",expected to focus on the economy∙Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang expected to be declared the new president and premier respectively∙Top foreign policy posts will be filled∙The new premier will give a press conference at the end of the Congress"We must make ensuring and improving people's well-being the starting point and goal of all the government's work,give entire priority to it,and strive to strengthen social development,''Mr Wen said.He spoke of improving pension provision for the poor and also focused on the adverse effects of development on the environment,saying:"The state of the ecological environment affects the level of the people's well-being and also posterity and the future of our nation.''Corruption-the focus of Mr Xi's speech after he was formally appointed to lead the Communist Party in November-was also on the agenda,with Mr Wen calling for strengthened"political integrity"and better checks on power."We should ensure that the powers of policy making,implementation and oversight both constrain each other and function in concert,"he said.State media also reported that defence spending would rise by10.7%to720.2bn yuan($115.7bn,£76.5bn),a slight drop from the rise of11.2%in2012.China's military spending has seen several years of double-digit growth-and observers say actual expenditure is believed to be far higher.But the figure falls well short of US military spending.Nonetheless,increases to China's military budget are keenly watched both by the US and neighbouring countries with whom Beijing is currently engaged in a raft of territorial disputes.In his speech,Mr Wen promised to"resolutely uphold China's sovereignty,security and territorial integrity",drawing applause from delegates.Vocal publicAround3,000delegates are attending the Congress,including members of the military,monks,ethnic minority representatives and business leaders.The majority are members of China's Communist Party.Rather than debate policy,the role of the delegates is to ratify decisions already made by party officials behind closed doors,making the Congress essentially a rubber stamp parliament.They are expected to approve plans to restructure several government departments as well as to amend some long-standing policies on the military,the virtual monopoly of some state enterprises and on individual freedoms.Around3,000delegates are attending the CongressWhile the exact schedule has not yet been made public,towards the end of thetwo-week-long event,Mr Xi will formally become the country's new president.Since his party promotion in November,Mr Xi has been feted in Chinese media as a man of the people who shuns the usual trappings of his position,as well as a staunch nationalist.He has also been quoted speaking firmly of the need to stamp out corruption at all levels,warning of civil unrest if party privilege is not tackled.Also set for promotion is Li Keqiang,who is expected to take over the top economic post from Mr Wen.As such,he will give a press conference at the end of the gathering and set about forming the country's new cabinet.Security has been tightened for the NPC,with police and other security personnel patrolling in increased numbers around the Great Hall of the People.China's new leaders are set to inherit a far more vocal public than their predecessors faced,with social media now forcing them to address public concerns more than they ever have before.On the eve of the Congress,the country's media reflected high public expectations, reporting demands for action on corruption,education,social care,the increasingly pressing issue of pollution and for steps to address the growing wealth gap."Instead of telling people how excited they are about what the country has achieved, our legislators and political advisers should focus more on sharing their wisdom on how to make things even better,"a China Daily editorial said."That is the change the country needs and the people are eagerly waiting for."And after Mr Wen's speech,the BBC's Celia Hatton reports,many internet users posting on weibo,Chinese versions of Twitter,were frustrated that the premier failedto deliver specific solutions to other looming challenges,from environmental protection to government corruption.In the words of one typical netizen:"It is useless just to talk about vague ideas."15March2013Last updated at04:20GMTChina confirms Li Keqiang as premier Mr Li,the son of an official in Anhui,is a fluent English speakerContinue reading the main storyChina's New Leaders∙Man with a dream∙Legacy of Hu and Wen∙China tackles'wasteful'ministries∙What tasks do new leaders face?China's leaders have named Li Keqiang premier,placing him at the helm of the world's second-largest economy.Mr Li,who already holds the number two spot in the Communist Party,takes over from Wen Jiabao.Mr Li was elected for a five-year term but,like his predecessor,would be expected to spend a decade in office.On Thursday,Xi Jinping was confirmed by legislators as the new president, completing the transition of power from Hu Jintao.Li Keqiang's widely-signalled elevation was confirmed by3,000legislators at the National People's Congress,the annual parliament session,in Beijing.He received 2,940votes to three,with six abstentions.Continue reading the main storyAnalysisMartin Patience BBC News,BeijingFrom humble beginnings,Li Keqiang has risen high in politics,but his career has not been without controversy.During the mid-1990s a scandal of stunning proportions devastated many rural communities in Henan.Thousands of farmers and their families contracted HIV after receiving contaminated blood transfusions.Most infections in the government-backed blood-selling scheme happened before Li Keqiang became the province's party boss.But he was widely criticised for silencing those speaking out.Many villagers still travel to Beijing every year to protest about the issue.One demonstrator told the BBC she hoped Li Keqiang would pay more attention,saying she had still not received any compensation.But others have seen a different side to the politician.One gay-rights activist told the BBC that Li Keqiang was very"easy-going"during a recent meeting."He didn't act at all like a government official," said Kong Lingkun."During the discussion he wanted everyone's opinion and he encouraged us to speak freely."China's new premier likes to project an image that he's modern,sophisticated and ready to listen.But he is also shown he can be ruthless when the party's reputation is at risk.As premier,he will oversee a large portfolio of domestic affairs,managing economic challenges,environmental woes and China's urbanisation drive.The appointments seal the shift from one generation of leaders to the next.A raft of vice-premiers and state councillors will be named on Saturday,before the NPC closes on Sunday.Mr Li,57,who is seen as close to outgoing leader Hu Jintao,speaks fluent English and has a PhD in economics.He has called for a more streamlined government,eliminating some ministries while boosting the size of others.The son of a local official in Anhui province,he became China's youngest provincial governor when he was tasked to run Henan.But his time there was marked by a scandal involving the spread of HIV through contaminated blood.Mr Li is expected to end the NPC with a press conference on Sunday,given by Wen Jiabao for the past decade.US envoysOn Thursday,Xi Jinping's move was approved by2,952votes to one,with three abstentions.Hours later,US President Barack Obama called both to congratulate him and raise concerns over ongoing issues,including cyber hacking and North Korea.Continue

became involved in student politics ∙Widely speculated that Mr Li was former President Hu Jintao's preferred successor,but lost the top job to Xi Jinping∙Profile:Li Keqiang"Both leaders agreed on the value of regular high-level engagement to expandco-operation and co-ordination,"a White House statement said.Mr Obama is sending both Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew and Secretary of State John Kerry to Beijing in coming days,in an apparent bid to reach out to the new administration.In an editorial,state-run Global Times said Mr Xi and his colleagues needed to show powerful leadership to unite society."China cannot stop developing or fighting corruption.Social unity is the key to how China can stand against complex international affairs,"it said.。
