10、见的事情。”阿萨德指责暴力事件系恐怖分子所为。从叙利亚的危机中,我们前往一个经历了去年政治革命的国家。我们正在谈论的是埃及。近30年来,这个国家一直是由一位名叫胡斯尼穆巴拉克的人掌控，而抗议和起义迫使穆巴拉克下台。他因在革命期间下令杀害抗议者而被送去受审。他称自己没有违反任何法律。戴着墨镜的穆巴拉克被判有罪。在周末,他和他的一位前官员被判处终身监禁。这一决定导致了新一轮的抗议活动。有些人不满穆巴拉克没有被给予死刑。其他一些人则非常不快,因为其他面临同样指控的6位前任官员则被判无罪。穆巴拉克的律师表示他计划对此判决提起上诉。今天的大喊答题节目环节的题目是由阿拉斯加诺姆的诺姆贝尔茨高中雷恩先生的社

11、会研究班级提出。美国政府的哪个部门收集和发布国家的失业率?让我们开始。是美国商务部、财政部、劳工部还是内政部?你有3秒钟的时间,3,2,1，开始。失业信息是由劳工部的一个分部收集。这是你的答案吗？这就是本期的大喊答题节目环节。劳工部数据统计局,是美国劳工部的一部分,负责每个月发布失业的信息。上周五,该机构公布了5月份的最新数字,而且多数分析师都同意这个消息并不好。美国全国失业率从4月的8.1%上升到5月的8.2%。这是自去年6月以来第一次这个比率增加,美国新增就业岗位,但上个月仅69000，而经济学家曾预测,数字将接近150000。这个消息艰难着冲击华尔街。在失业率公布后,股票市场急转直下。今年为止的任何收益都在星期五荡然无存。
