Most of them are homeless, and so what the authorities are doing is setting up tents

17、 month when Arizona and Michigan hold their Republican primaries.嗨,我是卡尔阿祖兹。谢谢你在周二花时间观看CNN学生新闻。你知道我们做事情的风格,10分钟,没有商业广告,倾情奉献给你全球的热点新闻。首先,今天美国大使馆关闭。英国大使被召回。联合国安全理事会称局势紧张。所有这一切都是发生在叙利亚这个国家的危机所致。已经进行了11个月,起源于有人站出来反对叙利亚总统并呼吁改变。政府以暴制暴,联合国官员表示数以千计的人死亡。据报道叙利亚包括超过50人在星期一死亡。一些城市也爆发了强烈战斗，而斗争仍在继续。美国已经关闭驻叙利亚使馆,遣散

18、所有雇员。英国驻叙利亚大使被召回英格兰进行磋商。就像我们昨天报道的,联合国安理会没有通过要求结束在叙利亚暴力的决议。委员会的一些成员对于俄罗斯与中国感到不满。因为这两个国家投票反对这项决议。俄罗斯和中国表示也想要战争停止,但并没有同意这项决议。还有一名叙利亚抗议者表示叙利亚政府在联合国未能通过在决议后反而加大其镇压力度。这里引用抗议者的原话“联合国给他们开了绿灯以施加更多的暴力。”接下来,我们看袭击整个欧洲一些国家的极端寒冷气候。一些地方出现了几十年从未有过的积雪越来越多的局面。西班牙、意大利、比利时和其他西欧国家正在应对冬季暴风雪,但东欧似乎非常辛苦。我们正在谈论的是罗马尼亚、俄罗斯及波兰这

19、样的国家。波西尼亚的塞拉耶佛正在遭受自1999年以来最大的降雪。一些地方的降雪达到43英寸。这几乎是四英尺的积雪。学校整个星期被迫关闭。乌克兰的条件最为糟糕。在那个国家,一天最高温度仍然低于冻点。成百上千的人死于欧洲各地、马修 卡斯看到乌克兰官员正试图帮助他们的公民在这极冷条件下生存，为人民找条活路。嗯,在欧洲真的是非常寒冷。没有国家比乌克兰遭受的还要严重。它在最近几天经历了一些最低温度。也达到了最高的死亡人数。卫生官员表示135人失去了他们的生命,权因这些冰冷、极寒的天气。他们中的大多数人无家可归,所以当局所做的是为这些人搭建帐篷。看,这叫做马布里尼奇特奥布维，是一个移动加热点,当人们没有别

20、的地方可去的时候，可以在那里度过几天,几个小时,温暖自己,逃避冰雪。好吧,我们在这里,你可以看到有相当数量的人都聚集在这里试图御寒。他们通过这个房间燃烧木头的加热炉正在暖手。这是一个非常基本的情况,但气味并不是很好。他们提供一些基本的食物。（将外语）需要这个吗？这是粥，稀饭粥和面包,还有一些热茶。而在里面也配备了电脑,你可以看电影,我认为即使上网也可以。但一般人来到这里,正如你所看到的,这家伙在暖脚,只是试图逃脱外面冰冷的，极寒条件。这里的每个人都跟我们说过,要不是有这样的地方,他们会遇到真正的麻烦。恩，这就是你所看的，这里变成了冻结的大陆的一片绿洲。坏消息是我们经历的寒冷的天气短时间内并不会有所缓解CNN新闻，马修卡斯从基辅为您发回的报道。如果你浏览我们的主页的“焦点”栏目,你就会找到一条CNN新闻选举中心的链接。这里你可以获得美国大选的大量信息。你可以阅读候选人,了解更多有关的一些政治问题和检查日历看到下一次初选和党内预选的确切日期。我们可以告诉你,就是现在。就在今天。我们会做得更好,告诉你在哪里发生,我们将呈现给你美国大学的最新报道。科罗拉多州和明尼苏达州今天举行党团会议,还有密苏里州。所以共和党候选人会在那里高度集中。他们已经出发、争取支持,他们正试图赢得这些个人比赛。他们今天过后会变得有点紧张。下一次结果将持续到本月底亚利桑那州和密西根时举行共和党的初选才会揭晓。.
