[00:00.44]In the News, the United States Senate
[00:03.40]has blocked a resolution to reject the agreement
[00:06.72]between world powers and Iran.
[00:09.80]The Senate action is a major foreign policy victory
[00:13.60]for President Barack Obama.
[00:16.04]The Republican-led Senate was considering a resolution
[00:20.50]to "disapprove" of the Iran agreement.
[00:23.84]Senators voted 58 to 42 to bring the measure up for debate.
[00:29.52]That was two votes less than the 60 votes required to support the bill.
[00:36.00]The Reuters news service says all 42 of the votes against the measure
[00:41.24]were from Democrats or independents who normally vote with them.
[00:47.36]The United States said Thursday
[00:50.00]it will accept at least 10,000 Syrian refugees in the coming year.
[00:56.48]The U.S. government also announced plans
[00:59.72]to increase its humanitarian assistance
[01:02.88]for those fleeing the violence in Syria.
[01:06.40]A spokesman for President Obama said
[01:09.44]the president has directed officials
[01:12.16]to make preparations to let the refugees enter the country,
[01:16.28]starting next month.
[01:18.44]The United States accepts 70,000 refugees from around the world each year.
[01:25.65]The spokesman added that
[01:27.48]security investigations on the new arrivals
[01:31.00]will be "robust" so that U.S. national security is not endangered.
[01:37.28]Intelligence chief James Clapper said earlier
[01:41.00]that he feared Islamic State militants
[01:44.26]might hide among refugees from the Middle East
[01:48.04]as they travel to other countries.
[01:51.92]Al-Qaida-led rebels killed 56 Syrian government soldiers
[01:56.96]during an attack on an air base in Idlib province.
[02:01.64]The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said
[02:06.48]the soldiers were killed
[02:08.37]either during the capture of Abu al-Duhur air base
[02:12.48]or a short time later.
[02:14.72]The group said that 40 soldiers were taken prisoner.
[02:18.40]Many others were reported missing.
[02:21.52]Rebels put videos on the Internet
[02:24.20]to show Nusra Front fighters
[02:27.12]exploring the air base in Idlib after seizing it.
[02:31.36]Syrian state television had confirmed
[02:34.24]government troops had left the base.
[02:39.16]Chinese Premier Li Keqiang says
[02:42.52]his country's economy is facing "a number of difficulties
[02:47.00]and downward pressure."
[02:48.92]But he expressed hope
[02:50.48]the economy would not experience what he called a "hard landing."
[02:55.64]Mr. Li spoke at the World Economic Forum in Dalian, China.
[03:01.04]He noted that a slowing worldwide economy
[03:04.48]might affect China's economic growth.
[03:07.92]Still, he said, the Chinese economy is "within a reasonable range."
[03:12.88]He also expressed hope
[03:15.40]that China will meet its main economic targets this year.
[03:21.40]Heavy rains in central and northern Japan
[03:25.20]caused major flooding Thursday.
[03:27.92]The rains forced tens of thousands of people
[03:31.28]to leave areas that have already received heavy rainfall.
[03:36.20]The worst hit area was the city of Joso,
[03:39.28]about 50 kilometers northeast of Tokyo.
[03:43.12]There, the Kinugawa River
[03:45.36]could not contain rising waters
[03:47.92]that overflowed into the surrounding community.
[03:51.80]Japan has received heavy rains this week
[03:54.96]from what was Typhoon Etau.
[03:58.12]Some areas have received more than 50 centimeters of rainfall.
[04:04.64]A new political survey shows U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders
[04:09.44]is the most popular presidential candidate
[04:12.44]among likely Democratic Party voters in Iowa.
[04:17.20]Quinnipiac University released the results of the survey Thursday.
[04:22.41]It found that 41 percent of Iowa's Democratic voters
[04:26.72]expressed support for the Vermont senator.
[04:31.36]Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
[04:34.24]finished in second place, with 40 percent.
[04:38.16]Twelve percent of those questioned
[04:40.40]expressed support for Vice President Joe Biden.
[04:44.44]He has yet to say if he plans to compete
[04:47.52]for the Democratic presidential nomination.
[04:51.03]Next February, Iowa voters will start the process
[04:55.68]to choose the party's candidate for president in 2016.
[05:00.88] I'm Jim Tedder.
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." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
