coming and expressed tis inner circle,
many, many of his supporters believe that the Pope is getting a hard time
because of all this allegation and scandal about priestly sexual abuse.
But in no way in their view
is Pope Benedict involved what they say is that he was not part of the cover-up; he was part of the clean-up in all of this.
him of the "most shameful aspects of anti-
Semitism".
Here is our Rome correspondent Duncan Kennedy.
The comments were made in the presence of Pope Benedict by one of his inner circle.
Whether the Pope knew about it in advance?
"We don't know. We don't know this sort of things".
Hard to imagine that it wasn't raised beforehand with Pope

BBC News 20个话题包括政治、经济、社会、灾难等
BBC News Item 1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 Listerreports 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 2 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.BC News Item 3 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 4 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 La bour’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 5 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 expe cted 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 6 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 itsknees 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 7 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 topreserve social services.BBC News Item 8 政治：乌克兰声称发现俄国间谍Ukraine says that the five alleged Russian spies were caught with a camera concealed inside a pen, other espionage equipment and $2000 — a reported bribe for a Ukrainian contact.The head of Ukraine’s security service says that the five were trying to obtain military secrets. Four of them have been expelled from Ukraine, while the fifth has been detained.Russia’s security service, the FSB, has confirmed the detention, but denied the Ukrainian version of events. The FSB said its actions were a response to the recruitment of Russians by the Ukrainian security services.The mutual recriminations come at a highly sensitive time. Just two weeks ago, Russia sent an ambassador to Ukraine after a five month absence. And on Sunday, Ukrainians will vote in an election to choose a successor to the outgoing President, Viktor Yushchenko.Mr. Yushchenko’s time in office has been marked by strained relations with Moscow, and his departure was being seen as an opportunity for an improvement in ties between the two countries.BBC News Item 9 军事：俄国总统对美国导弹计划的意见The Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has welcomed the announcement byPresident Obama that the United States is shelving plans for a missile defensive system in Europe. He said President Obama had taken a responsible step by abandoning plans to base long range interceptors in Poland and the Czech Republic. BBC News Item 10 政治：伊朗总统连任Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been sworn in for a second term as Iranian President. However hundreds of opposition supporters disputing the election result gathered outside the parliament defying an official ban on protests. John Iion reports.In a ceremony broadcast live on state TV, Mr. Ahmadinejad took the oath of office as prescribed in the Iranian constitution. He went on to defend the election result. The speaker of parliament Ali Larijani criticised the west for their hastiness in condemning the result. But outside, opposition protesters gathered to give their contrary view. They were met by hundreds of riot police.Western countries declined to give their official congratulations, though ambassadors from Britain and the European Union were present.BBC News Item 11 军事：伊朗核计划The head of the UN nuclear agency Mohamed ElBaradei has given Iran and three world powers the text of a draft deal aimed at reducing concerns about Iran’s nuclear programme. The IAEA wants Iran to allow most of its uranium to be shipped abroad for further enrichment before being returned for use in a civilian research reactor. Jon Leyne reports.The deal would mean Iran gets the fuel it needs and stays off pressure for more sanctions. The outside world sees Iran’s enriched uranium taken out of the coun try and processed in a way that will make it more difficult for Iran to make nuclear bombs. But Iran’s still not signed up publicly onthe crucial element, the shipping out of Iran of its precious stocks of enriched uranium, and that could be hard for the Iranian government to accept, in light of the prestige President Ahmadinejad has attached to the nuclear programme.BBC News Item 12 军事：联合国出台伊朗问题协议草案Iran has agreed to let inspectors from the United Nations Nuclear Agency visit its recently rebuilt second uranium enrichment plant. They will go there on Oct. 25th, the day was set during a visit to Tehran by the head of the agency Mohammed ElBaradei. The revelation last month said Iran was building an underground facility near Qom heightened internation al concern that it’s secretly trying to developenuclear weapons. But Mr. ElBaradei gave an upbeat assessment to relations with Iran.I have been saying for a number of years that we need transparency on the part of Iran. We need co-operation on the part of the international community. So I see that we are at the critical moment. I see that we are shifting gears from confrontation into transparency and co-operation.In Washington President Obama’s top security advisor said things appeared to be moving in theright direction.BBC News Item 13 政治：吉尔吉斯坦反对派建立临时政府There’s been a day of bloodshed and turmoil in Kyrgyzstan with th e opposition saying it set up an interim government. However it is still not clear who is in controlor where President Kurmanbek Bakiyev is. Rayham Demytrie sent out this report from the capital, Bishkek.As night fell, widespread looting began in the Kyrgyz capital Bishkek, hundreds of protesters were moving from one shop to another, setting buildings on fire and causing more chaos on the ground. Random gunshots could be heard all across Bishkek. An interim government has been set up in Kyrgyzstan. It is being led by an opposition leader Roza Otunbayeva. In a comment of a Russian TV channel she said that the situation in the country remains tense and difficult. Early on Wednesday, the country’s prime minister resigned. Some reports suggest that the Kyrgyz’s President Kurmanbek Bakiyev is in the south of the country in the city of Osh.BBC News Item 14 政治：吉尔吉斯坦总统拒绝辞职The Kyrgyzstan President Kurmanbek Bakiyev has refused to admit defeat after his political opponents dissolved parliament and demanded his resignation. Latest reports from the capital Bishkek say there was heavy shooting as night fell. From Bishkek, Richard Galpin now reports. After the bloodshed yesterday, this morningthe main leaders of the opposition announced they’ve taken control of the c ountry, forming a temporary government and dissolving parliament. But at a news conference here in the capital, they admitted there were concerns that the president was trying to rally his supporters in the south of the country in order to fight back. The opposition wanted him to resign immediately, but Mr.Bakiyev has told BBC he has no intention of quitting and still considers himself to be president.BBC News Item 15 社会：缅甸某罪犯获释引发讨论Burmese officials have hinted many times that Aung San Suu Kyi may be released.But it’s the first time in recent months that a putative date has been attached to the idea.The comments are reported to have been made by a senior minister at a provincial town meeting four days ago. It’s a measure of how tightly information is c ontrolled in Burma that it’s taken this long for the reports to filter out.Aung San Suu Kyi’s own lawyer told the BBC he’d heard the rumour but could not confirm it. And if indeed she is released in November, key questions about the terms of Aung San Suu Kyi’s possible freedom remain. Would there be conditions attached? Would her activities be restricted? And, crucially, would her release come before or after planned elections?There is also the matter of the legal appeal against Aung San Suu Kyi’s current detention. The Supreme Court is due to deliver its verdict in the next couple of weeks. But if the military government says she’ll continue to be detained until at least November, the court’s decision has been somewhat undermined.BBC News Item 16 社会：韩国鼓励生育Forget that still unwritten report or the backlog of paperwork building up on the desk, on this cold and rainy mid-week night there can be no excuses to stay late in the office. South Korea’s Ministry of Health, Welfare and Family Affairs will be turn ing off all the lights at 7pm in a bid to force staff to go home to their families and, well, make bigger ones. It will repeat the experiment once a month.The country now has one of the world’s lowest birth rates, lower even than neighbouring Japan，and boosting the number of newborn children is a priority for this government, staring into theabyss of a rapidly ageing society, falling levels of manpower and spiralling health care costs. The Ministry of Health, now sometimes jokingly referred to as the “Ministry of Matchmaking”,is in charge of spearheading that drive and it clearly believes its staff should lead by example. Generous gift vouchers are on offer for officials who have more than one child and the department organises social gatherings in the hope of fostering love amongst its bureaucrats. But critics say what is really needed is wide-scale reform to tackle the burdensome cost of childcare and education that puts many young people off from starting a family.BBC News Item 17 灾难：冰岛火山烟尘逐渐减少As forecasters say that a cloud of volcanic dust spreading from Iceland across Europe show some signs of moving, officials have expressed hope that up to half of all flights across Europe could operate on Monday. The European Transport Commissioner and Spanish minister for Europe were speaking after talks with the air traffic agency, Eurocontrol. Warren Bull reports.After adopting a cautious approach up till now, the airline industry has increasingly pushed the European authorities to end the flight restrictions which have caused travel chaos in Europe and beyond. Several airlines, including KLM and Lufthansa, have expressed anger that the decision to ground flights appears to have been taken solely on the basis of the computer simulation. They say they’ve car ried out their own test flights and reported no problems. Conscious of a need to show strong leadership over the air travel crisis, European Union transport ministers are expected to hold an emergency video conference on Monday.BBC News Item 18 灾难：菲律宾洪水泛滥Officials in the Philippines say at least a hundred people have died in floods and landslides in the north triggered by a week of heavy rain. This follows two storms in the past two weeks which have already left about three hundred people dead. Reports said that even some evacuation centers had been flooded. Danny Vincent reports from the capital Manila.Officials say that 30 cities were hit by the landslide through the night where residents taken to the rooftops of their houses for refuge. The northern Philippines have been pounded by heavy rain following the second typhoon in just over a week to hit the nation. Typhoon Parma has lingered in the north of the country turning into a tropical depression. It follows Typhoon Ketsana which killedmore than 300 people when it’s hit on September 26.BBC News Item 19 灾难：南太平洋海啸The Prime Minister of Samoa says 77 people were killed and 150 injured by a tsunami in the South Pacific. At least 24 people died on American Samoa. Thousands of people’s homes have been destroyed and the final number of deaths is expected to be higher as Phil Mercer reports from Sydney.A brutal act of nature has shattered parts of Samoa and neighboring American Samoa. The rescue effort is continuing with pledges of international support led by the United States. The number of dead has slowly increased since the tsunami struck after dawn and there are fears it will keep on rising as emergency teams reach isolated areas. Foreign tourists including a British toddler and a 6-year-old Australian girl are among the deads. Officials believe that many of the victims were washed out to sea as their homes were destroyed by waves reportedly up to 11 meters high.BBC News Item 20 宗教：马来西亚首都基督教堂接连遭纵火The latest attack, on an Evangelical Christian church, caused limited physical damage — just a burned door and a charred entranceway. But the politicali mplications may be more serious. Tensions have flared after Malaysia’s High Court ruled that a Roman Catholic newspaper, the Herald, was permitted to use the word “Allah” to describe God in its Malay language editions. Muslim groups argue that Christians using a word so closely associated with Islam could be a ploy to win converts.Christians make up around 9% of the population in the majority Muslim state. Most non-Muslims are ethnically Indian or Chinese. The row over the use of the word “Allah” has expo sed deep resentments over the treatment of minorities and freedom of religion in Malaysia. A government minister told foreign diplomats on Monday the church attacks were the work of extremists. “These were not just attacks on houses of worship” he said, “t hese were attacks on the values and freedoms all Malaysians share.” Under the slogan “One Malaysia”, the government has made racial harmony a central policy. Its commitment to that policy is now being severely tested.。

1BBC新闻介绍
1BBC新闻介绍1 -- BBC新闻英国广播公司(BBC)（British Broadcasting Corporation）通常被称为世界公共广播电视的旗舰。
正是在英国,公共广播的理想被提出;而且,BBC在公共广播电视历史上的贡献卓尔不凡。
在英国,最初,广播事业依附于制造广播器材的工商行业,是私人所有的。
1922年, 由6家大无线电公司为主,率先组成了一个小小的广播系统,即商营性的BBC。
政府给予BBC广播事业的垄断经营权。
由大公司独占经营传播媒介的传统,来自英国都铎王朝时代,当时文具商对出版物实行垄断经营。
这种特许独占的方法使政府便于对媒介实行控制。
但是, 商业公司缺乏对文化事业的理解。
于是,以BBC第一任总经理约翰·瑞斯(JohnReith)为代表的广播界呼吁广播媒介脱离商业公司而独立。
瑞斯的理想,是使广播服务超越利润和娱乐的局限,建立一个全国性的、社会性的节目体系,并使它免于商业公司和邮政部门的控制。
在这里,免于商业和政府的控制，是问题的关键。
瑞斯给这个理想起名“公共服务广播”。
后来，这一理想成为BBC的指导原则,并在世界获得广泛支持。
于是，1927年，一个新的公营BBC取代了私营的BBC。
BBC在政治上只是半独立的，因为它的经济基础是政府规定的收听收视费政策;但在运作上，它基本上是非商营的，多年来，BBC一直坚持不播广告。
目前，BBC1和BBC2为BBC的两个主要频道，分别占有30%和10% 的观众份额，但这两个频道都不是以新闻为主体的频道。
BBC1新闻节目让位娱乐节目的趋势似乎预示娱乐性节目将成为该频道的霸主。
据介绍，BBC2“惟一的新闻节目是夜间10:30播出的新闻分析节目“新闻之夜”，其他时段主要是电视剧和娱乐节目。
“新闻之夜”是每天播出的新闻与时事深度报道和分析节目，目标观众定位为文化精英，尤其是文化精英中的男性观众。
实际上，BBC将面向少数精英阶层的“新闻之夜”放在第二频道是为了让出更多的时间给面向更多大众的节目。

Politics: Obama’s Speech 政治： 奥巴马演讲 History was made in Washington this week as Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President of the United Sion people.
• However, President Obama continued to say that America would respond to the challenges before it, and that the nation would pull together and overcome its problems by working together in a spirit of co-operation.
• The President went on to talk about the fears that many Americans have that their country is becoming less successful and diminishing as a global power. • He spoke of a "sapping of confidence across our land - a nagging fear that America's decline is inevitable, and that the next generation must lower its sights".
• 语录六：It took a lot of blood, sweat and tears to get to where we are today, but we have just begun. Today we begin in earnest the work of making sure that the world we leave our children is just a little bit better than the one we inhabit today. • 我们的今天是多少血汗、泪水换来的， 但路才刚刚开始。今天，我们做出诚挚 的努力，希望我们留给孩子们的世界， 比我们今天继承下来的再好一点点。
