Hello, I'm Justin Greene with the BBC news
A video sent to the Nigerian government by the Islamist group Boko Haram appears to prove that some of the 276 girls kidnapped two years ago in the town of Chibok are still alive. The images apparently1 filmed on Christmas Day and aired by CNN showed 15 girls in black robes. Relatives of the kidnapped girls have no doubt about the tape's authenticity2 as the BBC's OM explains.
One of the parents was given the, was shown the video and she was in serious tears. Not only that, there was a classmate of one of the Chibok girls, and she too, said
she recognized one of them used to her classmate and she was really showing her grief. This video has given some kind of hope to Nigerians that theses girls or some of these girls are still alive.
Our report commissioned by the American city of Chicago has concluded that the police force there is plagued by racism3. It was commissioned by Chicago's mayor in
response to an outcry of police shootings. Here is Laura Bicker4.
The damning report claims that police in Chicago have no regard for the sanctity of life when it comes to people of color. It asks for over 100 sweeping5 changes to the
police force. The panel concluded that the fear and lack of trust in law enforcement among minorities is justified6. They found 74 percent of the 100 shot by officers
in recent years were African Americans even though backs account for 33 percent of the city's population. The new police chief Eddie Johnson is an African American
with 27 years' experience. He vowed7 to root out racism within the force.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have confirmed that Zika virus in pregnant women causes babies to be born with unusually small heads and severe brain abnormalities. There have been months of debate on the issue since Zika was connected to a surge of birth defects in Brazil. Dr Sonja A. Rasmussen is one of the
researchers.
It really has been a careful analysis and we had heard about this relationship, this powerful link with Zika virus several months ago. Ever since that time of hearing
about that possible link, we started evaluating the evidence.
The political landscape in South Korea has undergone a significant change with the party that's governed for the last 16 years suffering a shock defeat in elections in
the national assembly. The sluggish8 South Korean economy has been blamed for the reverse for president Park Geun-hye's Saenuri Party. But internal frictions9 may also have contributed to the lose of more than 30 seats in the assembly. Saenuri 's leader has offered to resign following the defeat which will hamper10 Ms Park's attempts to push through reforms. The biggest party in the new assembly will be the liberal Minjoo Gathering11.
World news from the BBC.
President Obama has said the US will do everything it can to ensure the current cessation of hostilities12 in Syria holds. At the opening of a further round of peace
talks in Geneva, the United Nations asked all parties to recommit to the truce13. Mr Obama said there had been violations14 by the force of president al-Assad and the al-
Nusra Front but said the truce has saved Syrian lives and allowed aids to be delivered.
US Secretary of State John Kerry has said he wants to remove any doubt about the administration's opposition15 to torture. Mr Kerry made the remarks during the launch of the State Department's latest global human rights report which indicates an increasing global trend towards stifling16 civil society and press freedom. In an apparent
reference to Republican presidential hopeful who've advocated the use of waterboarding, Mr Kerry emphasized that there was no place for torture anywhere.
The United States is opposed to the use of torture in any form at any time by any government or any non-state actor. This is a standard that we insist, that others
meet and therefore we must meet the standard ourselves.
One of the biggest stars in basketball Kobe Bryant has played his final game in a professional career which had spanned 20 years. He played for just one team, the LA
Lakers, with whom he's won 5 NBA titles and recorded the third-highest total number of points in the sport. Speaking ahead of his final game, Bryant said the reality
of his retirement17 hadn't sunken yet.
Thankful about everything. I'm very happy about everything. It hasn't really hit me yet. So we'll see. We'll see where it goes. Inevitably18, you're bound to have
regrets no matter what decisions you make. So if I maybe go back and change things that I'm regretful for, you know, I'be sitting here today and being regretful about
something else.

这份报道称芝加哥警方在面对有色人种时无视生命的神圣，并要求对警察队伍进行100项彻底改革。调查小组得出的结论是，少数族裔在执法过程中的恐惧和不信任是正当的，调查者发现，尽管黑人占芝加哥市人口的33%，但最近几年警察导致的100次枪击案中，有74%的案例涉及非裔美国人。新的警察局长埃迪·约翰逊是一名有着27年工作经验的非裔美国人，他承诺大力铲除种族主义。
