BBC news 2010-10-03BBC News with Nick KellyHundreds of thousands of people across France have taken to the streets to demonstrate against President Nicolas Sarkozy's plans to raise the retirement age. Trade unions say nearly three million people turned out in scores of demonstrations, but the government say less than a million people took part. It's the third day of protests in the past month. Hugh Schofield reports.The pension reform goes before the upper house of parliament, the Senate, on Tuesday with President Sarkozy insisting that its central provision, raising the minimum retirement age by two years to 62, is non-negotiable. According to the government, the only way that the French pension system can remain economically viable, given longer life expectancy, is that people work for more years. However, opponents, including the Socialist Party, say the changes are unjust and that the pension system can be preserved if higher taxes are levied on financial institutions and on the better-off.Prosecutors in Mexico say gunmen have kidnapped 22 people in the beach resort of Acapulco. The prosecutor's office said the group from the neighbouring state of Michoacan had been abducted on Thursday, but it didn't know the motive for the kidnapping or who was responsible. From Mexico City, here is Julian Miglierini.The authorities say that the group of 22 men had just arrived from the city of Morelia. As they were looking for a hotel, they were approached by a number of armed men who took them captive. Since then, there has been no information as to their whereabouts. Although this is the first time that a mass kidnapping has happened in the city, Acapulco has seen its reputation as one of Mexico's top beach resorts dented by increased violence attributed to drug cartels. Clashes between rival drug gangs and confrontations with the security forces have become frequent over recent months.Grenades have been thrown at three key institutions in the city of Monterrey in northern Mexico. Police said the targets appeared to be the US consulate, a courthouse and a prison.Thousands of trade unionists and supporters of civil rights have taken part in a mass rally in Washington in what's seen as response to a previous demonstration by right-wing groups. Organisers call it a One Nation rally to rekindle enthusiasm for President Obama in the face of attacks from conservatives. This report from Iain MacKenzie.Among those on the stage were the civil rights leaders Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, along with the singer Harry Belafonte. They were joined by representatives from various progressive groups in the fields of education and labour relations. Organisers said the event was not intended to be political, but those attending were overwhelmingly supporters of Barack Obama's Democratic Party. Many hope that the One Nation rally will help rekindle some of the energy and fighting spirit that helped propel their candidate into the White House two years ago.Iain MacKenzie reporting.You are listening to the World News from the BBC.The Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has said that Friday's bomb attacks in the capital Abuja, which killed 12 people, had nothing to do with the struggle for justice in the oil-rich Niger Delta region. The rebel group Mend, which says it's fighting for a greater share of Nigeria's oil wealth, has been blamed for the attacks, but Mr Jonathan said the perpetrators used the struggles of the Niger Delta to camouflage criminality.Police in Pakistan say an Islamic scholar and psychiatrist, Mohammad Khan, has been shot dead in the northwestern province of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Police say at least two gunmen entered a hospital where Dr Khan was working and opened fire. Dr Khan was due to become vice chancellor of the proposed Swat Valley Islamic University and had criticised religious extremism.Months of political deadlock in the Netherlands seem to be drawing to an end after members of the Christian Democrats Party approved a deal to form a conservative Dutch government with the Liberals. The coalition is supported by the party of the controversial anti-Islamist politician Geert Wilders, who goes on trial on Monday on charges of inciting hatred. Geraldine Coughlin reports.The Christian Democrats plan to join a minority cabinet led by the Liberal VVD Party with tacit support from Geert Wilders' anti-Islam Freedom Party on passing legislation and policy. The trio has announced a blueprint to curtail immigration and to make major spending cuts. At a convention on Saturday, a majority of Christian Democrats voted in favour of a resolution to work with the Freedom Party, but there was significant opposition. Christian Democrat MPs will make a final decision next week.And Iran says it's arrested a number of nuclear spies suspected of being behind cyber attacks on its nuclear programme. Last Sunday, Iran said a complex computer worm, the Stuxnet, had targeted its nuclear facilities at Bushehr.BBC News1.provision n.规定, 条款, 条件例句:They failed to carry out the provisions.他们没有按照规定办事。

BBC news 2009-07-20BBC News with Joe MacintoshThe family of an American soldier kidnapped in Afghanistan has asked people across the United States to pray for him. The man is Private Bowe Bergdahl from Idaho. He is 23 and believed to be the first Ameri can soldier to be seized by the Taliban. He’s been shown in television pictures, saying he was scared he might not able to come home again. The spokeswoman for the US military, Lieutenant Commander Christine Sidenstricker condemned the video.“The release of this video is a clear violation of international law. This is the Taliban using the soldier for propaganda purposes. We are happy to see the soldier appears physically unharmed, and we are doing everything possible to get him back, safely and unharmed. And we are using all available assets to do so. We use every available means to communicate with the local people and we have used, for example, leaflets to provide a phone number for Afghan who may have information about where the soldier is being held t o communicate back with us.”The Iranian authorities have released on bail an employee of the British embassy who was detained some three weeks ago. He’d been charged with involvement in the unrest that followed the disputed presidential election. Jon Leyne reports.Hossein Rassam was the last and the most senior Iranian employee of the British embassy being held by the Iranian government. The authority has accused him of helping to stir up the protests over the disputed election, a charge strongly denied by Britain. Observers believe the real purposes may have been to scare off Iranians from working in Western embassies and so make it more difficult for the embassies to operate. According to his lawyer, Hossein Rassam was released on bail of around 100,000 dollars. He may still be charged with action against national security, though ofte the Iranian authorities do not bring cases to court but leave them open as a future threat.Differences have emerged between the Iraqi authorities and the American military over how their forces cooperate now that Iraq controls security in its towns and cities.

Gabriel Gatehouse reports.According to an agreement signed between the two sides, US forces are not allowed to enter Iraq’s towns and cities unless specifically requested to do so by the Iraqi authorities except in cases of self-defense. The spokesman said the military adhered to a strict interpretation of these new rules, but some in the American military appear to take a different view. The Washington Post newspaper quotes what it says is an email written by the commander of the US forces’ Baghdad division, saying that his troops would continue to engage in operations inside urban areas to avert or respond to threats whether or not they were supported by the Iraqis.Firefighters in western Canada are struggling to contain two wild fires which have forced theevacuation of about 17,000 people from their homes.

At the end of the final round of the British Open, Watson squandered a short putt, forcing him into a tie with his fellow American Stewart Cink. Watson’s game then collapsed in the playoff when he found himself repeatedly in the rough. Afterwards, he said he’d let himself down.“In my profession when you have a chance to win the World Open as I call it, I mean you give it away like I did, it’s a big disappointment, but it was a wonderful atmosphere obviously. The fans, here in Scotland, some of them remember what I did in the past years. It is fun to put them through it again.”Stewart Cink eventually won by six shots. He said his final putt was the sweetest of his life.And that’s the latest BBC News.1.propaganda n.宣传, 宣传活动例句:He has no soul, he is just an instrument of propaganda.他只是一个没有主意的宣传工具。

Paul Adams reports.The Florida Highway Patrol says Tiger Woods was injured as he pulled out of his driveway in the early hours of the morning. The authorities said his Cadillac hit a fire hydrant and a tree as he left his home in Windermere, an exclusive suburb of Orlando. Early reports suggested he might have been seriously injured but a local hospital now says he was treated for minor injuries and released. His agent Mark Steinberg has told the American TV network CNBC that his client is fine. The Highway Patrol is investigating but says alcohol was not involved.The United Nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA, has voted to censure Iran for developing a uranium enrichment site in secret. Unusually, both Russia and China backed the resolution. The US said the international community was running out of patience with Iran. Jon Leyne reports.This is a strong sign of Iran’s growing international isolation. It was the first resolution against Iran passed by the IAEA since 2006. More significantly, China and Russia both voted in favor. This heavily critical resolution focused on a recently revealed nuclear plant close to Qom which the West believes could be part of a secret bomb program. But Iran’s refusal to answer questions on alleged bomb studies also infuriated the IAEA. As has Iran’s hesitation over whether to accept a deal on new fuel for a research reactor in T ehran.Britain’s ambassador to the United Nations during the run up to the Iraq War has questioned the legitimacy of the American-led invasion in 2003. Speaking on the 4th day of a public inquiry in London, Jeremy Greenstock said he thought there were not many countries that thought Iraq was telling the truth about weapons of mass destruction, but he said that did not translate into much support for tough action against Saddam Hussein, which in the end cast out, according to Sir Jeremy, on the military action taken.I regarded our invasion of Iraq as legal but of questionable legitimacy in that it didn’t have the democratically observable backing of a great majority of member states oreven perhaps of a majority of people inside the United Kingdom.Sir Jeremy also said the UN weapons inspectors should’ve been given more time to carry out their work, but by then American pressure to invade proved irresistible.The British Prime Minister Gordon Brown has proposed richer nations set up a ten-billion-dollar fund to provide incentives for the developing world to cut greenhouse gas emissions. He was speaking in Trinidad, where leaders from the Commonwealth group of nations are meeting. At the opening ceremony, the head of the Commonwealth, Queen Elizabeth, said the organization had the opportunity to lead once more.World News from the BBC.Germany’s Labor Minister Franz Josef Jung has resigned over his handling of an air strike in Afghanistan in September which is believed to have killed around 30 civilians.

The BBC Beijing correspondent says some parents try to buy boys because China’s One Child Policy means they can’t have sons of their own.BBC News.BBC News with David Austin.The Irish government has revealed how the Roman Catholic Church in Dublin covered up for decades the widespread sexual abuse of children by priests. A government inquiry found that the abuse continued until 2004 and accused government officials of helping with the cover-up. Ruth McDonald reports from Dublin.The Dublin diocese report spares neither the Catholic Church nor the Irish state. The report focuses on a representative sample of complaints made by 320 children against 46 priests over a 30-year period. It found that the church plays its own reputation above the protection of children in its care and said the state authorities facilitated the cover-up by allowing the church to operate outside the law. The current Archbishop of Dublin Diarmuid Martin offered his sorrow and shame for what had happened to the victims and said no words would ever be sufficient.The outgoing head of the International Atomic Energy Agency Mohamed ElBaradei has expressed his frustration with Iran over what he said was its failure to cooperate with his investigation into whether it'd tried to make a nuclear weapon. He told the agency’s board meeting that a year of negotiation with Tehran had gotten nowhere.That has been no movement on remaining issues of concern, which need to be clarified for the agency to verify the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program. It is now well over a year, since the agency was last able to engage Iran in discussions about these outstanding issues. We have effectively reached a dead end unless Iran engages fully with us.European shares have tumbled with the news that Dubai may be unable to pay its multi-billion dollar debts. The main share index in London suffered its biggest one day drop since March. There were similar falls in France and Germany. Stephanie Flanders reports.The tallest tower in the world, the biggest manmade island, the largest snow dome in the middle of a desert, no scheme was too over the top, if it helped put the tiny Arab Emirate on the map. Visitors would’ve been forgiven for thinking it’s built on oil, but international investors knew that Dubai didn’t have much oil. The fancy projects were largely funded by debt. When boom turned to bust, they also knew the lead company Dubai World was finding it difficult to pay that debt back. Bank stocks fell sharply in response to the news between them they could have millions of dollars at stake in Dubai World.A High Court in London has ruled the two Caribbean registered investment funds are entitled to claim payment of a large debt owed by Liberia.
