[00:03.31]From VOA Learning English,
[00:06.60]this is IN THE NEWS.
[00:08.94]Americans continue to follow reports on people
[00:13.37]and events linked to a bomb attack
[00:16.90]more than a week ago during the Boston Marathon.
[00:21.28]Two young men are accused of carrying out the attack.
[00:26.46]The two are brothers.
[00:28.30]The surviving suspect told investigators
[00:32.10]that he and his older brother had planned
[00:35.78]to drive to New York City to explode more bombs.
[00:40.66]Nineteen year old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spoke from a hospital
[00:45.79]where he was taken after his capture.
[00:48.98]His older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev,
[00:53.06]died last week after a gun fight with police.
[00:57.60]He was 26 years old.
[00:59.84]Police say the brothers caused two explosions
[01:04.13]near the finish line for the race.
[01:07.27]The explosions killed three people,
[01:10.65]including an eight-year- old boy
[01:13.64]and wounded more than 250 others.
[01:17.77]The Tsarnaev brothers came to the United States
[01:22.10]with their family as refugees
[01:24.59]from the Chechen conflict with Russia.
[01:28.07]Silvia Dominguez teaches sociology
[01:32.00]at Northeastern University in Boston.
[01:35.64]She says it is important to note
[01:38.88]that the Tsarnaev brothers were not immigrants,
[01:43.01]but refugees forced from their homeland
[01:46.35]by danger and conflict.
[01:49.43]She says refugees carry strong beliefs
[01:53.76]about the conflicts they fled.
[01:56.71]She says this is especially true when they leave areas
[02:01.88]where they experienced unfair treatment.
[02:05.12]"The ideology around them
[02:07.28]is very significant and very powerful.
[02:09.02]And, there is an aspect of injustice
[02:11.56]that is very difficult to not want to act on."
[02:16.19]Russian officials had warned America's
[02:19.32]Federal Bureau of Investigation about the older brother
[02:23.76]after he visited Russia for six months last year.
[02:28.54]American investigators have questioned
[02:31.87]the mother and father in Dagestan,
[02:35.22]where they now live separately.
[02:37.66]The investigators wanted to learn if Tamerlan Tsarnaev
[02:43.39]had contacts with Islamist extremists.
[02:46.88]Professor Dominquez says it is possible
[02:50.71]that the older brother never developed an identity
[02:55.19]as an American because he left the Caucasus area
[03:00.02]during the Chechen conflict.
[03:02.19]She says young refugees know they were lucky to get out
[03:07.72]but also know that many others could not escape.
[03:13.00]She says those who leave at a young age
[03:16.43]need to have a sense of belonging in their new country.
[03:21.60]She says it is very important to have activities
[03:26.63]to get young refugees involved.
[03:30.17]"You know this is not just in the United States.
[03:32.11]It's any country that receives refugees."
[03:34.30]Television broadcasts show Zubiedat Tsarnaeva
[03:38.73]arguing that her sons did not carry out the crimes.
[03:43.27]She says accusations against them
[03:46.60]are false and part of a plot.
[03:49.44]Enrique Pumar teaches sociology
[03:52.63]at the Catholic University of America in Washington.
[03:56.66]His recent research deals with migration and violence.
[04:01.85]He notes that the Tsarnaev family
[04:05.03]was divided with the father and mother in Russia,
[04:09.36]and their sons in the United States.
[04:12.40]He says it is much more difficult
[04:15.98]to adapt to a different country
[04:18.27]without the support of a family or a community.
[04:22.91]"A lot of times immigrants that are alone
[04:26.05]and don't have a community and support group
[04:29.08]oftentimes they suffer from status deprivation.
[04:33.56]They tend to be violent or at least deviant."
[04:36.50]Police have charged Dzhokhar Tsarnaev
[04:40.18]with using a weapon of mass destruction.
[04:43.31]The crime is punishable by death.
[04:46.91]And that's IN THE NEWS from VOA Learning English.

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA¾©Ïã2018ÏÂÔØ
