6、powerful future, this man says.

7、 yourselves with your own eyes, then you can judge whether its a ballistic missile or whether its a launch vehicle to put a satellite into orbit to show that, thats why we have invited you to this launch site.So we certainly get the grand tour, today shown all around the site, the control center, ev

10、with more details on the shooting.A special prosecutor has been investigating this case. She had three options of possible action: she could charge George Zimmerman with a crime; she could clear him of any wrongdoing or she could send the case to the grand jury. Thats a group that hears evidence and

11、 testimony from witnesses and decides whether a case should go to trial.We found out yesterday that option three wont happen. This special prosecutor says she wont use a grand jury. She added that the decision doesnt mean things are final. The investigation will go on.This story has been an emotiona

12、l one. Its led to protests across the country, like this one in Sanford, Florida, where the shooting happened. The storys also left people with a lot of questions, including you.We asked what was on your mind, what questions you had when you heard about this story.Alyssa asks, Why do the government,

15、hem.我要感谢那些裘德的学生介绍今天的节目。感谢你们所有人和我们坚持这10分钟。我是卡尔阿祖兹,欢迎到CNN学生新闻。首先是朝鲜半岛的紧张局势,部分是可能即将到来的核试验。北韩已经进行了两次有争议的测试。现在韩国官员表示,朝鲜正准备再次试验。美国官员同意这些信息,虽然朝鲜从没有说过是一次核试验。朝鲜正在强调的是计划于本周晚些时候的发射一次分离火箭。CNN的斯坦格兰特被邀请观看火箭发射。他解释为什么围绕这次发射存在一些争议。这是朝鲜一直对世界保持隐藏的,没有更多了。一枚远程火箭,30米长或近100英尺,世界上大部分人嫌疑其将进行下一阶段的秘密国家的导弹计划。朝鲜坚持自己没有什么可害怕的。这不是

16、一次导弹测试,但事实上,这是为了进行科学研究的卫星发射。为了证明这一点,他们进行了一个前所未有的步骤, 对国际媒体开放的发射场。对平壤而言,这也代表了一种宣传政变。在这一年这个国家庆祝他们国家的创立者金日成诞辰100周年。“这是一种精神时刻,朝鲜人民努力去敞开大门迎接繁荣富强的未来,”这个人曾说道。但美国和其盟国的看法则截然不同,一个国家还在处于技术上的战争中,虽然离导弹完善还有一定距离,但美方专家表示,一定能在有朝一日到达美国海岸。我很不安。他能否认吗?否认这是这是用你自己的眼睛去寻找,然后你就能判断它是否是一枚弹道导弹或者是一枚把一颗人造卫星送入轨道的运载火箭,这就是为什么我们要邀请你们来

17、这发射场的原因。因此我们有这一行程,今天是游览发射场,控制中心,甚至目睹人造卫星将通过火箭送入太空。一位独立的欧洲分析专家访问发射场后表示他认为没有什么可担心的,但是我不知道他们想要在未来做什么,但今天我们所看到的是一枚太空发射器。发生在佛罗里达附近的枪击事件现在有了最新进展。在二月,17岁的特拉维马丁被附近的看护人乔治泽曼射杀。警方称马丁手无寸铁，而泽曼表示他开枪是出于对这名年轻人的攻击进行自卫。我们的“焦点”栏目有一段视频,我们的首页也有关于这次枪击案更多的细节。一位特别检察官开始着手调查这个案子。她称有3种动机，她可以指控乔治泽曼犯罪，她能清楚他可能有任何不法行为或者将此案交给大陪审团裁

18、决。这是一个听取证词和证人的言辞,之后决定案件是否应该去审判的组织。我们发现昨天第3种选择没有发生。这特别检察官说她不会使用大陪审团。她补充道,这个决定并不意味着事情就此完结。调查仍将继续。这个故事有情感的一种版本。这使得全国各地开展抗议活动,比如在桑福德,佛罗里达等枪击事件发生的场所。这个案子也给人们带来了许多问题思考,其中包括你。我们曾经问你会想到什么,当你听说过这个故事，会有什么问题。来自爱丽丝娅的问题：“为什么政府、媒体、民权活动家和公民。这么快就对所发生的事情下结论所而不必知道全部事实?”丽塔问道:“一个十几岁的青少年真的对持有武器的人能产生威胁吗?”马克问道:“如果他们的肤色不同会发生什么还会有示威或者新闻报道吗?”莎娜问道：“为什么这类事情引起人们的注意呢?诸如此类的事情经常发生,我知道,美国介意还是知道其他事件?”很多事情悬而未决。如果事情有了最新发展，我们将第一时间给你带来。
