萨拉·佩林表示支持特朗普
Hello, I'm Justin Green with the BBC News.
The former governor of US state of Alaska Sarah Palin has given her support to Donald Trump1 in his campaign to be the Republican Party's presidential candidate. She
praised Mr. Trump's values as a father and community leader, and said he could change the status quo in American politics. Our North America editor John Sopal was
watching.
It wasn't as if Donald Trump's campaign was flagging. He is riding high in the polls, and getting wall-to-wall media attention. But now, a new and open boost in the
shape of Sarah Palin. With less than two weeks to go to the Iowa caucus2, the populistic governor came out punching in trademark3 style. Bashing Barack Obama as you
expect, but really saving her heaviest blows to the Republican establishment itself. Sarah Palin, the now primarly pursuing a media career, is nevertheless still the
darling of the conservative tea party right, and the evangelical wing of the Republican Party, the very voters, that are critical in this midwestern state. The broad
Trump green, seemed even wider than normal.
Gunmen have stormed a university in northwest Pakistan where a gun battle is still underway between police security guards and the attackers. Armed vehicles had been deployed4, to surround the Bacha Khan University campus in Charsadda District, 50 km from the city of Peshawar, which houses 3000 students. Some media are reporting that a chemistry proffesor has been killed and 50 people injured. Staff and students have been evacuated5 from the campus.
The Colombian government and the country's largest rebel group the FARC are asking the United Nations to oversee6 the implementation7 of any ceasefire the two parties agree to end more than 50 years of conflict. The two sides are still negotiating a deal. During talks in Havana, Ivan Marquez the FARC's Chief Negotiator called it a final step towards a lasting8 peace agreement.
“It's a fact that the talks towards reconciliation9 have entered a final stage, and that 60 years of confrontation10 can end to the delight of man kinds during the
course of this year.”
European Commission is considering plans to share the burden of migrants more fairly across the EU. The European Commission President Donald Tusk11 has warned that the EU must bring the system under control within two months. Ben Wright reports.
“Last year, more than a million migrants and refugees poured into Europe, creating a crisis that shows no sign of abating12. Under what's known as the Dublin System,
new arrivals have to register for asylum13 in the first EU country in which they arrive. That system broke down last year and prompted some countries to reinstate
temporary border controls within the passport free Schengen area. The European Commission is considering a new system, which aims to more fairly distribute migrants
across the continent.” Ben Wright reporting.

Asian markets have continued to slide downwards14 in early trading. Shares in Hong Kong fall closed at levels not seen in four years. There were also falls in Tokyo. The
decline reflects continuing concern about growth in China and emerging economies, such as Brazil.
There's been another drop in oil prices after a warning from the International Energy Agency that the oil market could drown in over-supply. US crude oil traded below
28 dollars a barrel for the first time in more than 12 years in trading on Asian markets. The price later recovered slightly.
A review of more than 30 studies involving more than four million patients suggest that having an irregular heart beat poses a greater risk to women than to men. It
found that women with Atrial fibrillation, or AF, were almost twice as likely to have fatal heart disease and strokes. The scientists from Oxford15 University said one
possible cause was that women were being diagnosed later than men. Another was that they may respond less well to drugs to combat AF.
Researchers at the universities of Durham and Lisbon say some fairy tales can be traced back thousands of years. Using techniques developed by biologists, they
determined16 how long could go folk tales appeared in Indo-European languages spoken in large areas of Europe, the Middle East and Asia. Nick Ine reports.
“Five thousand years ago, there were spinning yarns17 about a boy who stolen an ogre’s treasure, a story we know as Jack18 and the Beanstalk. And four thousand years
ago, someone came up with an early version of Beauty and the Beast. There are some of the oldest-known folk tales in the Indo-European languages, and their antiquities19 had been established by an anthropologist20 and the folklorist21. The findings are one in the eye for those who maintained that most modern fairy tales weren't really ancient at all. It seems Wilhelm Grimm of the Brothers Grimm was right when he said many were extremely old.”

阿拉斯加州前州长萨拉·佩林向争取成为共和党总统候选人的唐纳德·特朗普表示支持，她赞扬了特朗普作为一名父亲和社区领袖的价值，称他可以改变美国政局的现状。北美编辑约翰·索帕报道。
并不是说唐纳德·特朗普所获得的支持度在下降，相反他正踌躇满志，得到了各个媒体的关注。现在又有了萨拉·佩林这个有力的支持，目前距离爱荷华党团会议不到两周的时间，这位民粹主义州长以标志性的风格站了出来，像大家料想的那样，她抨击了巴拉克·奥巴马，但将最有力的一拳给了共和党。目前主要忙于媒体事业的萨拉·佩林无疑仍是保守的茶党右翼和共和党福音派成员的最爱，他们都是这个中西部州的关键选民，支持特朗普的队伍似乎比以前更广泛了。
巴基斯坦西北部一所大学遭到武装分子袭击，目前警方、安保人员和袭击者仍在进行枪战。装甲车被调集来包围了距离白沙瓦市50公里的查沙达地区的帕夏汗大学，这所大学有3000名学生。

“朝着和解而进行的谈判已经进入最后阶段，这会让经历了60年冲突的人感到欣慰。”
欧洲委员会正考虑制定新计划来让欧洲各国更公平地分担移民负担，欧洲委员会主席唐纳德·图斯克警告说，欧盟必须在两个月内控制好该制度。本·怀特报道。
“去年有100多万移民和难民涌入欧洲，由此产生的危机至今没有消停的迹象。根据所谓的都柏林体系，新到者必须在抵达的第一个欧洲国家进行难民登记。去年这个体系崩溃了，使得一些国家重新在免护照的申根地区临时实施边境控制。欧洲委员会正考虑实施新体系，目的是让欧洲各国更公平地分担移民负担。”

对涉及400多万患者的30项研究进行的审查表明，心率不规则对妇女的危险大于对男人的危险，这次审查发现，有心房颤动病症的妇女发展成致命心脏病和中风的几率是男人的两倍。牛津大学的科学家发现，其中一个可能的原因是妇女比男人更晚确诊，另一个原因是治疗心房颤动的药物对妇女的效果没那么好。
达勒姆大学和里斯本大学的研究者们称一些神话故事可以追溯到几千年前，他们使用生物学家开发的技术，判定民间故事在印欧语系中流传多久，印欧语言覆盖欧洲大部分地区、中东和亚洲。尼克·伊内报道。
“五千年前就有一个男孩偷了一个魔鬼宝藏的故事，这就是我们所知的《杰克与豌豆》，四千年前，有人编了《美女与野兽》的早期版本，这些都是印欧语言中最古老的神话故事，人类学家和民俗学者已经确定了它们存在的历史，这些发现令一些人失望，这些人声称大多数现代童话故事根本就不古老，似乎看来格林兄弟中的威廉·格林是对的，他说很多神话故事都是非常古老的。”
