Top NewsCross-Strait ties reach the best period in 66 yearsAnchor:
Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou have sat down together at the Shangri-La Hotel in Singapore, marking the first face-to-face exchange between the two leaders across the Taiwan Straits in 66 years.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has the details.
Reporter:
Addressing each other as "Mr", Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou agreed that the cross-Strait ties had reached its best period since 1949.
After a historic handshake lasting4 for some 70 seconds, Xi Jinping told Ma that history has proved that no force could set the two sides apart.
"The 66-year history of the development of cross-Strait relations shows that no matter how much ordeal6 the two sides have undergone and how long the two sides have been isolated7 from each other, they cannot be pulled apart. We are brothers who are still connected by our flesh even if our bones are broken. We are 'one family'."Looking ahead, Xi Jinping said both sides are now at the crossroads for choosing the direction and path for future development in cross-Strait relations.
"We should prove with concrete moves to the world that the Chinese from both sides have the capabilities8 and wisdom to solve their own problems. As such, I hope that the two sides could adhere to the 1992 Consensus9, consolidate10 common political foundations, stick to the path of peaceful development, and maintain the right direction for development of cross-Strait ties."Ma Ying-jeou echoed Xi's viewpoints, calling for a joint11 effort to consolidate the 1992 Consensus, and maintain the peaceful status quo.
In his five-point proposals, Ma suggested that the two sides could achieve a win-win outcome by reducing hostility12 and resolve disputes in peaceful means, while expanding cross-Strait exchanges.
"Maintaining peace and stability on both sides of the Taiwan Straits is the mainstream13 public opinion in Taiwan. The future development of cross-Strait relations must follow the people's desires. I especially emphasised that the two sides must base our ties on integrity, respect, clarity and good will in order to narrow the distance between the two sides. So I specially14 mentioned that both sides should turn hostility into friendship, and seek peace, not war."Ma Ying-jeou added that both sides could set up a joint hot-line to exchange views on urgent matters.
Later, Zhang Zhijun, head of mainland's Taiwan affairs office, revealed some key points during their 1 hour meeting behind closed doors.
Zhang Zhijun says Xi has encouraged the expansion of cross-Strait cooperation in various aspects on the basis of "One China" Principle.
"Xi Jinping expressed his great hope that both sides could soon clinched15 deals about the cross-Strait trade on goods and the set-up of cross-Strait offices between the Straits Exchange Foundation (SEF) and the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait (ARATS). Xi Jinping welcomes people in Taiwan to join the 'Belt and Road' initiatives, also welcomes Taiwan could join the Asian Infrastructure16 Investment Bank in future."Both leaders stressed the goodwill17 across the Taiwan straits since Ma Ying jeou was elected as Taiwan leader in 2008.
In the past seven years, 23 agreements have been signed between the two sides, making bilateral18 trade volume worth over 170 billion US dollars.

Xi-Ma meeting hailed by Taiwan and overseas media, expertsAnchor:
The historic meeting between Xi Jinping and Ma Ying-jeou, the first meeting between leaders of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait since 1949, has been widely hailed by media commentators20 in Taiwan and overseas.
CRI's Niu Honglin has more.
Reporter:
Fang21 Nien-hua, a news anchor for TVBS Taiwan, says the meeting has delivered an important message to the people across the Taiwan Straits.
"Both President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou delivered a message at the beginning of their statement that people across the Taiwan Straits share the same history of China, which is an intangible basis when we seek common points while reserving differences."The meeting has also received wide international coverage22 from many foreign media outlets23.
Akira Takeda, a reporter from Tokyo Broadcasting System Television (TBS), was impressed as he witnessed the historic handshake.
"President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou talked with each other directly. With smiles on their faces, they shook hands, waved to reporters and then walked off to have the meeting. I felt it was very deep."Zheng Yongnian, the director of the East Asian Institute of the National University of Singapore, says a firm adherence24 to the 1992 Consensus based on the one China principle is the premise25 on which to promote relations between the two sides across the Taiwan Strait.
"Both President Xi and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou have been aware of the fact that the 1992 Consensus is the political basis for the peaceful and stable development of the two sides. Therefore, in my opinion, the development on the basis of the 1992 Consensus indicates a clear direction for the next phase."Zheng also says that the meeting is a milestone26 moment on the road to the great rejuvenation27 of the Chinese nation. The two leaders both emphasized the Chinese rejuvenation.
He says the landmark28 meeting will undoubtedly29 instill more confidence in a bright future of cross-Strait relations for compatriots on both sides, and prove to the international community that Chinese people across the Straits are fully30 capable of solving their own issues and jointly31 contributing to regional and global peace, stability and development.

Chinese president's visit has further deepened Singapore-China ties: Singapore PMSingaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong has said he had a fruitful meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Lee reveals that Singapore has signed several agreements with China, including the third government-to-government project in Chongqing, launching the upgrade of the China-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, collaboration32 on education, urban management and customs.
Lee believes these deals will open up more opportunities for mutual33 exchange, trade, investments and development.
The Singaporean Prime Minister adds China's dramatic progress is positive for the region and the world. Singapore will continue to take bilateral relations forward.
New Deals Aim to Boost China-Singapore CooperationAnchor:
For more about the deals signed between China and Singapore, CRI's Luo Wen reports.
Reporter:
Among the accords is a long-anticipated deal over negotiations34 to upgrade the seven-year-old China-Singapore free trade agreement.
Zhang Jianping, a foreign trade expert with China's top economy planner, NDRC, says it's expected to meet the increasing needs of bilateral businesses and create more room for future cooperation.
"As free trade and investment is gaining further momentum35 around the world, it's necessary for China and Singapore to upgrade their FTA to boost bilateral trade, mutual investment and the cooperation between relevant sectors37 of the two sides. Once upgraded, it's likely to create more jobs for both sides."The existing China-Singapore FTA was signed in October 2008.
It came into force on Jan. 1 next year.
It was China's first comprehensive bilateral FTA with another Asian country.
The FTA deal is among those signed earlier Saturday in the presence of President Xi Jinping and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong.
One of those agreements concerns the third government-to-government project between the two sides.
Under the deal, the two sides will join hands to build Chongqing in southwestern China into an important nodal point for the "Belt and Road" initiative.
The latest deal follows the success of two previous G-to-G projects -- the Suzhou Industrial Park established in 1994 and an Eco-city project inaugurated seven years ago in Tianjin.
Chongqing, one of China's four municipalities, has seen a fast-growing economy since 2014.
The city's economy expanded by 11 percent in the first three quarters of this year.
Singapore Business Federation38 chairman Teo Siong Seng says the Chongqing project is different from the previous two as it will target China's central and west regions.
Teo is looking forward to the opportunities the new plan will bring.
"Apart from being an important transit39 center for Southeast Asia, Singapore has also advantages in finance, communications, e-commerce and logistics. We hope to fully play these advantages for the third project."Xi arrived in Singapore after wrapping up his state visit to Vietnam on Friday.
The two sides have agreed to redefine their ties as a partnership40 of 'all-round cooperation' in keeping with the times.

Hong Kong Wine and Spirit Fair- Growing thirst for wines in AsiaAnchor:
Wines, whiskies and various other alcoholic43 beverages44 quenched45 the thirsts of the many visitors at the just-concluded Hong Kong International Wine and Spirits Fair.
The event featured a thousand exhibitors from all over the world, who see Asia as an attractive, growing market.
Reporter:
It's bottoms up at Hong Kong's International Wine and Spirits Fair, the eighth edition of the event.
More than 360 million US dollars' worth of wine was exported by Hong Kong in the first eight months of 2015 - that's an 88.2 percent increase compared to the same period last year.
However, it's not just wines quenching47 visitors' thirsts. There's also an array of spirits, including Japanese whiskey.
"Mars Whiskey offers a sweeter and softer taste. The texture49 is silkier. It also has a very strong floral scent50 as Japanese people enjoy a more delicate taste in whiskey. Its uniqueness sets it aside from its usual Scottish counterpart which has a smoky aroma51."Mars Whiskey is made by the Shinshu Mars Distillery, which has adopted certain technologies from famed Scottish whiskey production and incorporates that with Japanese techniques.
Opened on Thursday this week, the three-day fair featured over one thousand exhibitors from all over the world.
Santo Gomes, Managing Director of Sogrape Asia Pacific, says they're aiming to grasp the recent growth of China's wine market with both hands, particularly making sure they offer wines at affordable52 prices.
"With recent developments in the Chinese market, which is one of the largest markets in the region, we've been investing in recent years in developing brands that offer very good value for money and showing people that they don't need to spend a lot of money in order to get a good wine."Despite China's recent economic slowdown, experts here are confident the wine market will continue to prosper53 in Asia.
Hong Kong-based Master of Wine, Debra Meiburg, says the wine market remained buoyant during the last financial crisis. And the large volume of exhibitors and visitors to the fair clearly show no sign of a declining industry.
"Interestingly, the world fell into global financial crisis just as Hong Kong's wine market took off and I think historically wine has never actually followed say, the stock market. Wine is an asset, but it has always forged its own path and performed financially independently of what's happening in the world. Except of course, you need a bit of money around to buy some of the top-level wines."With 31 countries participating at the fair, it seems there's a strong intention from international winemakers to tap into China's blossoming wine market.
For CRI, I'm Luo BinRussia Marks 74th Anniversary of 1941 Military ParadeA group of Russian soldiers marched across Moscow's Red square on Saturday to mark the 74th anniversary of an historic military parade.
Over 55-thousand Russian soldiers dressed in Red Army World War uniforms, including 21 veterans who took part in the original parade of 1941, have participated in the event.
Elina Akimova with the Council of Veterans in Moscow says the event will help younger generations understand the history:
"I think it serves as a great opportunity to teach the children especially about patriotism54. This is an important event not only for the older generation, but also the younger generation,"55 pieces of WWII military hardware - tanks, armored cars and several other armored vehicles and motorcycles, were also employed during the parade.
The 1941 parade was held after Russia joined WWII, with an aim to raise morale55 as Nazi56 forces approached Moscow. 285-thousand soldiers marched from Red Square directly to the front line to defend Moscow from invading Nazi forces.
Crashed Russian Plane to be moved to CarioThe wreckage of the Russian plane that crashed in Sinai will soon be moved to the Egyptian capital Cairo.
Investigators57 now say "a noise was heard in the last second" from the cockpit voice recorder.
Ayman al-Muqaddam is head of the investigation58 committee,"A noise was heard in the last second of the CVR recording59. A spectral60 analysis will be carried out by specialized61 labs in order to identify the nature of this noise."Referring to media reports citing Western intelligence sources pointing to the possibility that the plane was brought down by a bomb, Muqaddam says no evidence related to those claims had been provided to his team.
"The committee is considering with great attention all possible scenarios62 for the cause of the accident and did not reach till the moment any conclusion in this regard."Muqaddam says structural63 fatigue64, a fuel explosion and even lithium batteries carried by passengers could be a cause.
The Russian plane crashed late October in Egypt's North Sinai, shortly after taking off from Sharm el-Sheikh airport, killing65 all 224 people on board.
Earlier on Saturday, Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry criticized the panic and hastiness of some "partners", which "had negative effects on the Egyptian economy and the tourism field."Britain have suspended its flights to Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh based on intelligence information suggesting a bomb might have been behind the Russian plane crash.
Russian President Vladimir Putin decided66 on Friday to suspend all Russian flights to Egypt in light of the same speculation67.
Relationship between EU and Iran at a decisive stage: Martin SchulzThe President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, is suggesting that the relationship between the European Union and Iran is at a critical stage.
"We are in a decisive phase in our relationship between the EU and Iran."Schulz made the remark during a one-day visit to Tehran, where he met Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.
Schulz has also met Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif.
His visit to Iran comes after the country signed an historic nuclear agreement with major world powers in July.
Under the July 14 accord with the United States and other countries, Iran must dismantle68 large parts of its disputed nuclear programme before international sanctions, imposed over suspicion the program had bomb-making purposes, can be lifted.
The European Union hopes to import gas from Iran, which has some of the world's largest reserves, to reduce its dependence69 on Russia.
However, even after sanctions are lifted, the lack of export infrastructure will delay plans.
People in Sierra Leone holds candlelit vigil to mark the end of EbolaResidents of Sierra Leone's capital held a candlelit vigil and celebrations on Saturday to mark the end of an Ebola epidemic70 that has killed almost 4-thousand people.
More than 220 health workers also lost their lives since the epidemic began last year.
Names of health workers who died because of the virus were read out during the vigil.
Alfred Conteh, head of National Ebola Response Centre, says he hopes the country will remain free of the virus.
"Our compatriots who have succumbed71 to this disease, we hope that Ebola does not return to Sierra Leone soon."No new cases have been reported in the past 42 days.
The epidemic has killed more than 11,300 people in Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea since it was announced in March 2014.
Ukraine military withdraw light weaponsUkraine's military says it has finished withdrawing its light weapons from the eastern frontline with rebels, where clashes have erupted in recent days despite a ceasefire.
A Ukrainian soldier says troops near the front now have only firearms left.
"Today was the next phase of the pullout of light weapons. We have withdrawn73 Vasylkis, they are good mortar74 launchers, but now we have lost them. We pulled them back to a reasonable distance and our guys say - if something happens - it would take not too much time to get them back."Saturday's pullout completed the government's weapons withdrawal75 from the Donetsk area.
Kiev's withdrawal came after rebels said they pulled their light arms from the area on Thursday.
The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe says the ceasefire is "largely holding" but that the situation remains76 "volatile77."A peace deal signed in February calls for a vote to be held in the eastern regions.
Those elections have now been pushed back to early 2016.
The Ukraine conflict that erupted over one year ago has killed more than 8,000 people.
US developers have come up with a new wireless device that keeps snoring in check while offering health benefits.
CRI's Fu Yu has more.
Reporter:
Start-up company Smart Nora has found a solution to combat the sound of snoring with "Nora", a wireless device that automates80 the nudging process without having to disturb people.
The company's co-founder81 Behrouz Hariri explains how the idea of such a device emerged from his mind.
"Often a very small movement or a very gentle push will stop the snoring. The problem is that it is very likely that after a few minutes they will start snoring again and nobody has the patience to continuously overnight just nudge or push their partner very gently to stop their snoring."Nora's job is to listen for snores and give a nudge before either the snorer or the partner wakes up.
It activates82 a pump that inflates83 a mat underneath84 the pillow when it gets loud enough. The process stimulates85 the airway86 muscles and quiets down the snorning.
Hariri says this method guarantees a better quality of sleep.
"Nora is actually listening for volumes of snoring that are below the sensitivity of their partner. So just before snoring is getting loud enough to wake them up, Nora does the gently push or the gentle movement of the pillow and that, in turn, reduces the volume of snoring then both partners can actually have continuous sleep."Nora could also have health implications.
It stops snoring and therefore reduces the risk of chronic87 diseases such as obesity88, depression and diabetes89.
Hariri says Nora is working well in terms of the results of their trial runs.
"We have made a limited number of prototypes to test on different users and taking it back from someone after a week or two of sleeping is not an easy task. "The developers are in a fundraising campaign where they have raised nearly 375-thousand US dollars to date.
For CRI, this is Fu Yu.

We get more from CRI's Wen Jie.
Reporter:
China has unveiled its first domestically produced large passenger jet.
The C919, which can seat 158 passengers, has been rolled out of the final assembly line after going under production at a facility in Shanghai for over a year.
Mavis Toh, Asia air transport editor for Flightglobal, says it is an answer to the industry giants Airbus and Boeing's aircrafts.
"The C919 is targeted as a competitor to the Airbus A320 and also the Boeing 737. This is a very significant programme for China because it's basically their – it's a major push for the country as they want to be known as a major player in the aviation manufacturing sector."The plane, developed by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, has a standard flight range of 4,075 km.
The aircraft featured 102 new applications of technology and materials, including third generation aluminum-lithium alloy100 materials, which were used for the body.
Li Xianping, deputy chief designer of the aircraft, says the design was coordinated102 by a digital prototype this time.
"Before, our designing was coordinated by a physical prototype, but now we use a digital prototype to coordinate101 the process. With the help of it we can visualize103 the overall structure and over 10-thousand parts of the aircraft.
The C919 is scheduled to make its maiden104 flight next year and then begin test flights for about three years before putting into commercial use.
Scholars said scientific and technological105 innovation enabled by large-scale scientific projects will lead China's overall development in the following years.
The remarks come as China is planning to carry out a series of state-level scientific projects in the next five years, and to take a lead in organizing large-scale international research projects.
Vice79 president of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wang Enge, said the goal is set out of economic and practical consideration.
"Large-scale scientific projects will not only promote the development of fundamental researches and technical breakthroughs but they are also an important platform and support that facilitate many practical projects."At the same time, Mu Rongping with the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed the building of scientific and technological research bases in regions along the Yangtze River.
Mu said over the past 30 years the country has built good research and development infrastructure in its coastal106 areas, so it is necessary now to move development towards the central and western parts of the country.

"You almost feel as though you are out of the tournament. You almost feel as if you are playing the golf course, you are just playing for yourself, you have a higher level of trust. That is going to be my biggest inhibitor tomorrow to success is actually trusting what I worked on and what was useful today for the first 13, 14 holes in my swing. I just felt that it was free flowing, if it doesn't work out then you know what, that's fine and if it does, that's great."The man to catch is still Kevin Kisner as the tournament moves forward into Sunday.

Manchester United beats West Bromwich 2-0and in some English Primier League news:
Manchester United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 in Old Tafford on Saturday.
Manchester United's coach Louis Van Gall124 spoke about the win during a press conference and also pointed125 out what his team needs to do as they move forward.
"Goals are always the main important thing in the game and that we have seen. Still, we don't give many chances away, like against CSKA Moscow (in the Champions League), only the header of (Saido) Berahino, I think that was the chance ofr them, so I'm a very happy manager, I think. We won a difficult game, last year we lose against this opponent. Probably because of that, Tony Pulis (WBA coach) chose this (defensive) strategy again and now we have won, so we have improved again."This win now puts their team within 1 point of their league's leaders, those being, Manchester City, Arsenal126 and Leicester City.

Roy Shippe is one of the performers.
"We have to readjust getting used to jumping away from the building and having 10 seconds of time before you come back. It takes a little calibrating130, not to prepare to land after three seconds. So there's a lot of amazing moments out there, and like Jessica was saying, I've had some of those moments where it's just so amazing that it makes me laugh."The international art festival will run till Nov. 16th.
