BBC News with Jonathan Wheatley.The youngest son of the North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has been appointed to two top jobs. Kim Jong-un was named as a member of the central committee of the ruling Workers' Party and also included in the National Defence Commission. He had already been made a four-star general, and the promotions are widely seen as the beginning of a gradual transfer of power from Kim Jong-il to his son. Andre Vornic reports.At 27 or 28 - even his age is a mystery - Kim Jong-un may now be the most senior young man on the planet. Of the three posts, the Defence Commission one is key. It is the highest policy-making body in this most militarized of countries. Taken together, Mr Kim's three new jobs mark him out as the future leader of a state that is isolated as it's ever been. But unlike during the previous dynastic transition, it now also comes with nuclear weapons and a collapsed society.A landslide triggered by heavy rain has engulfed a town in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca, burying about 300 homes as residents slept. A municipal official, Cipriano Gomez, said more than 100 people were known to be missing, but many more were feared buried. Julian Miglierini reports from Mexico City.Speaking on the only functioning phone line in the town, Mr Gomez described a disastrous scene in Santa Maria Tlahuitoltepec. It's thought 300 homes have been buried by the collapsed hillside, and rescue teams sent by the federal government have yet to arrive in the isolated area. "We are doing what we can to advance the rescue operation," Mr Gomez said. But rain continues to fall, and there are fears that other landslides could occur. Therefore, Mr Gomez said that they were organizing a massive evacuation to higher ground.The United Nations says only a third of the people in the world who needlife-saving drugs to fight HIV are actually getting them. The World Health Organization and two other UN agencies said only eight developing countries, including Cambodia, Romania and Rwanda, had met the target of providing access to antiretroviral drugs by 2010. Jane Dreaper reports.The WHO, Unicef and the UN's Aids programme estimate that 5.25 million people in developing countries now receive vital combination therapy to slow down HIV. That represents more than a million extra patients in the past year, but the agencies believe 14.5 million people in total need drug treatment, so the gap remains big despite some of the strides that have been made by getting more medicine to pregnant women to prevent them from passing HIV to their babies.World News from the BBC.The former Prime Minister of Iceland Geir Haarde is to face a special court over his role in the country's financial crisis. The Icelandic parliament narrowly voted to send Mr Haarde before the court, which will decide whether he should be charged with alleged negligence. A report commissioned by the parliament earlier this year found that more should have been done to limit the damage from the collapse of Iceland's biggest banks in 2008.In his first major speech since becoming leader of Britain's opposition Labour Party, Ed Miliband has said the party must change, learn from its mistakes and win back the trust of voters. He was speaking at the party's annual conference five months after Labour lost the general election. Mr Miliband said Labour should have done far more to reduce the disparity in the incomes of rich and poor people in Britain."This is something we didn't confront in government. You see, the gap between rich and poor does matter, and it doesn't just harm the poor; it harms all of us. If you look at those societies that are healthiest, happiest, most secure, it is the more equal societies. And what does it say about the values of our society? What have we become that a banker can earn in a day what a care worker earns in a year. It's wrong conference."About 100,000 people have marched in Pakistan's southern city of Karachi, demanding the release of a scientist imprisoned in the United States. The woman, Aafia Siddiqui who's a neuroscientist, was sentenced last week by a New York court to 86 years in prison. She has been convicted of the attempted murder of US government agents in Afghanistan.Gunmen in southern Nigeria have abducted 15 school children and demanded a ransom of nearly $130,000 for their release. The children were seized when their bus was hijacked in the town of Aba in Abia state on the edge of the oil-rich Niger Delta. Nigerian police said they'd launched a big operation to rescue the children.BBC World Service News。

BBC news 2011-04-16BBC News with Julie CandlerPolice in Syria have used tear gas and batons to break up crowds of anti-government protesters marching towards the centre of Damascus in a rare protest there. There have been other demonstrations in cities across Syria. Owen Bennett-Jones reports.The protests were large and took place in towns and cities all over the country including Damascus. Many thousands of people marched towards the capital until they came faceto face with a large deployment of security personnel determined to prevent them from reaching the centre of the city. Witnesses say the police beat the protesters with batons and used tear gas to disperse the crowds. There are also reports of live ammunition having been used in one Damascus suburb. Elsewhere including in the city where the protests began, Deraa, the authorities are reported to have allowed the protests to occur without trying to break them up.Human rights groups say rape and sexual abuse have risen to alarming levels in Ivory Coast during the last few weeks, as forces loyal to the President Alassane Ouattara battled for control. The aid charity, the International Rescue Committee, spoke to women who had fled the conflict into neighbouring Liberia, where more than 100,000 refugees are seeking shelter. From Ivory Coast's commercial capital Abidjan, John James reports. Women who've fled the fighting in Ivory Coast have told aid workers stories of mass rape and abuse. In some cases, women have been imprisoned for up to a week as sexual slaves, brutally raped by numerous fighters before being released. Many others were killed. One woman was forced to watch the mass rape of her sister who then died from her injuries. The youngest reported victim was seven years old.Final preparations are taking place in Nigeria for Saturday's presidential election, the biggest such poll in Africa. The head of the African Union's observer mission said it had found some shortcomings but was confident that the electoral commission would resolve them. The current President Goodluck Jonathan is regarded as the clear front-runner, even though his People's Democratic Party lost seats in parliamentary elections last week. President Obama has said that failure to agree with Congress to allow the US to continue borrowing could plunge the world economy back into recession. He made the remark in an interview with the news agency Associated Press. Our economics correspondent Andrew Walker reports.The United States government currently pays for a quarter of its spending with borrowed money, so the accumulated debt continues to rise, and in May it'll reach the maximum allowed by Congress, over $14tn. If Congress refuses to increase the limit, it would severely disrupt government business, and if that continued long enough, it could have a negative impact on the economy in the US and unsettle global financial markets.However, neither the Republicans in Congress nor President Obama would want to be blamed for that, so they have a compelling incentive to reach an agreement.World News from the BBCA meeting of Nato foreign ministers in Berlin has ended without a commitment from members of the alliance to send more strike planes to Libya. The Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the threat to Libyan civilians would not disappear while Colonel Gaddafi was still in power, but he reiterated that Nato was strictly conforming to the UN mandate to protect civilians.The Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor has described as "unacceptable" the war crimes convictions of two former generals regarded as war heroes in Croatia. Ante Gotovina, one of the most senior Croats to be brought to justice, was jailed for 24 years for atrocities against Serbs in 1995 during the breakup of Yugoslavia. His co-accused Mladen Markac received an 18-year sentence. The Croatian prime minister said her government would appeal against the judgments.A court in Chile has ordered the exhumation of the remains of the former President Salvador Allende as part of an investigation into the cause of his death in 1973. The exhumation must be carried out in the next 30 days. James Read reports.Salvador Allende's body was found in Chile's presidential palace after it was attacked by troops and planes during the coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power. Witnesses at the time said he killed himself rather than surrender using a rifle given to him by his friend, the Cuban leader Fidel Castro, but some supporters of the left-wing leader think he may have been killed by soldiers. A new investigation into his death was launched in January. It's one of hundreds of unresolved human rights cases dating back to military rule when thousands of Chileans were tortured and killed.Severe storms in the United States have killed at least nine people. Strong winds caused extensive damage with electricity pylons being torn down in the state of Arkansas. At least 25 people were injured when a tornado flattened buildings and toppled trees in the small town of Tushka, Oklahoma.词汇讲解：1. march v. 前进，行进例句：The crowd of demonstrators marched along the main street.游行群众沿主要街道行进。

After eight days of fighting, a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas has begun. The deal was announced in Cairo by the Egyptian foreign minister flanked by the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

www.T 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‟l l 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‟l l 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 NA TO contingent in Afghanistan after the United States. Our defense1www.T correspondent 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‟l l also expect Britain‟s NA TO partners to follow suit by offering more forces themselves. NA TO 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 Y ork, 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 saidBerlin needed to be searching that Greece was serious about spending cuts.2www.T 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 Solar3www.T Impulse 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 sayi ng “Britain is showing it has the talent to lead the worl d”.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 Y ouTube, 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.4www.T 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 V ice 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 media5www.T reappearances, 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.

The Securities and Exchange Commission is taking civil action against the bank. Michelle Fleury sent this report from the floor of the New Y ork 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.7www.T 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.

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.

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 theshooting. Mathew Prize reports from New Y ork.8www.T 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.

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 hom e.”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.

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.9www.T 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.

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.

President Barack Obama has called US congressional leaders to urge them to tackle the country’s budget deficit together following his re-election for a second term in office. Mr Obama faces the immediate challenge of getting both sides to agree budget reforms to avoid going over what’s been described as “the fiscal cliff”. From Washington, Jane Little.赢得第二个总统任期后，总统巴拉克·奥巴马呼吁美国国会领袖一起解决该国的预算赤字。
奥巴马眼前面临的挑战就是让双方同意进行预算改革，以避免所谓再度回到所谓的“财政悬崖”。
Jane Little在华盛顿报道。
The victory is sealed. Barack Obama has extended his place in history with a decisive win, but there’s little time to stop and celebrate. A di vided country has given him more time to fix a broken economy. It also ensured he must work with the Republican-controlled House again. The talk on both sides as it’s working together towards solutions, they need to find them quickly. A fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts is looming. If Washing ton fails to strike a deal, it’s likely to harm the very recovery Americans have been starting to believe in.胜利已是板上钉钉的事。

[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。

联盟已任命一位总统和两位副总统。
Jim Muir在贝鲁特报道。
The man named as the president of the new unified coalition is Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib. He is a moderate Islamist cleric, who left Damascus just three months ago and would therefore be considered an insider. The friends of the Syrian group led by the United States has pledged to recognize the new coalition officially as the sole legitimate representative of the Syrians. It may be allowed to take Syria's seat at the Arab League. It is expected to establish a compact interim government and a military council to try to coordinate the struggle on the ground.被提名当选为新的统一联盟总统的是Ahmad Moaz al-Khatib，他是温和派伊斯兰牧师，三个月前离开大马士革，因此被视为权威者。

BBC新闻讲解附字幕:澳洲遭遇半世纪最严重洪水(2011-01-4)BBC News with Nick KellyA bomb has exploded in a market close to a military barrack s in the Nigerian capital Abuja, killing a number of people. Our correspondent Tomi Oladipo has the latest details.It's in an area which is a market, which has a bar, an open-air bar, where people come to drink. And I've spoken to witnesses who were at the scene, and they say they've seen bodies being carried out. So far, the sources within the ministry are telling me 11 people have been killed in the attack, but I still can't confirm that because the place has been cordon ed off by police and the ambulance services which are there.The man who's refusing to step down as president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, has said the country could face greater violence if he were removed from office. The international communityis demanding that he hand over power to his rival Alassane Ouattara, who's believed to have won the election. Speaking to the Euronews television channel, Mr Gbagbo indicated he might consider resigning if the regional group Ecowas were to intervene militarily to try to remove him."I will see, but it's not on the agenda for the moment. What's on the agenda is to negotiate, so we are negotiating. I ask myself why those who pretend to have beaten me oppose a recount of votes.That's what I want to know. I ask those people to support a recount."The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says she has warned senior Ivorian officials including Mr Gbagbo that they could be held criminally accountable for human rights violations in Ivory Coast. The UN has accused security forces loyal to Mr Gbagbo of killing and abducting people associated with the opposition. It says officials have been unable toinvestigate allegations of atrocities including at least two mass graves.In Australia, thousands more people are getting ready to evacuate their homes in the northeastern state of Queensland, where some of the worst flooding in half a century has affected more than a million square metres of territory. In the town of Rockhampton, the Mayor Brad Carter described what the emergency services were facing."We are going to have a very tough situation whereby we may have to use only indisaster,processes of forced evacuations, and this is a very difficult issue. As you can appreciate, you can have, for example, some very elderly people that are very reluctant to leave their home, and for their own safety and goodwill, we will have to look at ways and means of relocating them, and we hope that that these are isolated and extreme cases."Rescue workers in southern Egypt say they've recovered the bodies of 11 children who were on board a bus swept away by floods on Wednesday. The bus was carrying 75 children and teachers returning home after dark from a school outing when it was dragged into a sand-filled trench by the water. More than 60 managed to escape with minor injuries, but an ambulance driver who'd helped rescue some of the girls was killed. World News from the BBCOn his last full day in office, the Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has decided not to extradite a former left-wing militant to Italy. Cesare Battisti escaped from an Italian jail nearly 30 years ago while awaiting trial and eventually fled to Brazil. In his absence, he was convicted of four murders. Italy has recalled its ambassador to Brazil in protest at President Lula's decision. The former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko has appeared for further questioning by prosecutors investigating allegations of abuse of power. In a BBC interview, she again accusedPresident Viktor Yanukovych of being behind the charges so as to destroy political opponents. The army in Bolivia has begun selling bread in response to a strike by bakers angry at the government's decision to scrap fuel subsidies. Loaves baked in military ovens are being sold by troops from 12 locations in the city of La Paz and El Alto. The Bolivian government says the aim is to prevent shortages and counter a threat by bakers to raise bread prices. Mass protests against the fuel price hike, suspended for the New Year's weekend, are expected to resume on Monday. And the 19th century Wild West outlaw Billy the Kid has been denied a pardon 130 years after his death. The possibility was first suggested when historical documents appeared to show that Billy the Kid had been promised a pardon in return for testifying in a murder case. Ann Busby reports. Billy the Kid, whose real name was William Bonney, was only 21 when he was shot dead, but his brief life inspired dozens of books and films. It's not clear how many people he killed; some say more than 20. But his undoubted skill with a gun and his personal charm made him more of a folk hero than a notorious criminal. Supporters campaigned for a pardon, but the Governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson has refused one after extensive research. "The romanticism appealed tome," he said, "but the evidence didn't support the idea." BBC News第二部分：参考翻译尼日利亚首都阿布贾一座军营附近的市场内一枚炸弹爆炸，造成多人死亡。

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: vote!Scathe: 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. But the president's adviser, Dr. Busina Shaaban, made it clear that the departure of the president was not in negotiations. In a rare interview, Dr. Shaaban stressed that the president's fate should be decided by the people of Syria in either an election vote or a referendum.

BBC电视频道的受众市场细分
BBC电视频道的受众市场细分BBC目前有11个电视频道，大部分隶属于BBC两大节目生产部门——视频部(BBCVision)和新闻部（TheJournalismGroup）管理。
BBC视频部负责BBC1、BBC2、BBC3、BBC4、BBC高清、BBC少儿、BBC婴幼儿等频道节目的管理、制作、播出。
新闻部负责BBC国内新闻、BBC世界新闻、BBC国会三个新闻频道的节目制作和BBC所有电视、广播、网络新闻、体育节目的制作。
BB C苏格兰频道由BBC苏格兰部管理，总部设在格拉斯哥，是用盖尔语播出的苏格兰国家电视台。
BBC的节目生产部门制作出节目产品后，根据自身优势、英国市场环境和观众的不同需求，把产品细分成各个频道，频道又进一步细分成不同的节目，有针对性地进行销售播出，以取得最佳传播效果和最大经济效益。
本文着重介绍BBC怎样根据英国观众需求，应用市场细分理论，推出不同风格的电视频道，以及这些频道目前的收视经营状况。
从表1可以看出，BB C并没有中国电视台普遍推出的财经、体育、音乐、电影、电视剧、综艺、科教、生活、城市、公共、时尚等频道。
英国电视频道众多，市场竞争激烈，每家媒体都有各自优势领域。
如天空卫视的体育台（SKYSport）和ITV1的综艺节目在英国都有很高的收视。
另一方面，BBC很多频道属于无广告的公共电视，靠公众缴纳收视费开支，经费有限的情况下不能贪大求全，必须有所侧重。
BBC充分考虑了差异化的市场细分策略，在自己的优势领域——新闻和儿童类型的节目上加大投入，进一步细分市场，推出了3个新闻频道和2个儿童频道。
BBC一旦推出频道就坚持做下去，用时间积累品牌价值，BBC1和BBC2分别有75年和47年的历史，在几代英国观众心中享有盛誉，收视份额达到%和%，遥遥领先于BBC其他电视频道。
一、BBC的四大综合频道BB C1从1936年推出至今，作为英国电视的旗舰享有盛誉，是世界上第一个无广告的公共电视频道。

From Athens here’s Mad Louin:This is being a day of intense uncertainty and speculation in Athens. The Prime Minister addressed Parliament to calm nerves. He raised the possibility that the referendum could be abandoned, and the last week’s debt deal accepted. “Of course if we had the consensus, the n this would be an option, and we wouldn’t have to go to a referendum. If the opposition is willing to negotiate, then we’ll be ready to ratify this deal and implement it.” Mr. Papandreou appears to be resisting course to go, hoping that if a threat of a referendum fades, he can yet steer this country through the crisis. Greeks and all of Europe are looking on anxiously. The reverberations of what happens in the next few hours will felt far beyond Greece’s borders.The developments in Athens have overshadowed the meeting of the G20 in Cannes, where leading industrialized nations are discussing the eurozone debt crisis.

The claim comes a day after the Arab League said that Syria had agreed to its plans to bring an end to the political violence there. This report from Jonathan Head: If President Assad has any intention of honoring the terms of the deal proposed by the Arab League, his security forces certainly aren’t showing it yet. Pictures have been released, apparently showing Syrian tanks bombarding residential districts of Homs, the city where the uprising has been especially strong. The Syrian observatory for human rights is reporting many dead, a day after at least 25 were killed around Homs. On Friday opposition groups are planning massive protests across the country to test the Assad government’s promise that it will abide by the Arab League’s terms.World news from the BBC.The trial of the doctor accused of responsibility for the death of the pop star Michael Jackson is entering its final stages in Los Angeles.
