Hello, the trading on China's stock market has been suspended for the second day this week after prices plunged by more than 7%. An automatic shutdown was triggered less than an hour after business opened, Steve Evens reports from Beijing.

After the crash in Chinese share prices last year, the authorities tried to prop up prices. Fearing a further slump, they prevented large scale selling of shares by 

big Chinese institutions. They also instituted a rule that a 5% or more drop in prices will trigger a halt in trading. On Monday, official media said, it was a rare 

event. Now, though reoperated 3 days later, China has also spent about 20 billion dollars this week, trying to prop up prices and exchange rates.

The White House says United States, South Korea and Japan have agreed to launch a united and strong international response to North Korea's lateset nuclear test. 

President Obama has spoken by phone to the South Korean president Park Guen-hye, and Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe, M is in the South Korean capital Seoul.

They have been some high level discussions between US president and South Korean president, and there have been reports that they are possibly considering phasing out the US military presence here. We don't know exactly what they are talking, but in the past after the previous nuclear test, similar measure was taken. And at that time. It included a stealth fighter, as well as the B52 bomber, so it doesn't indicate that the military tension could escalate.

The govornor of California Jerry Brown has ordered new safety measures and tougher inspections at gas storage facilities across the state. The move was in response to a massive gas leak in underground storage site near Los Angles. Huge quantities of methane which was far more potent than cardon dioxide as green house gas have been spewing into the atmosphere since October. Community leader Paul A explained how the leak is affecting local residents.

The actual methane is coming out of the well. It has now what's causing people to be sick. It is odorant, mercaptan, and that odour is what's causing people to become 

sick. The Methane is lighter than air so it goes out, but the mercaptan tends to drift down into the communities. And it is designed to be an air that is certainly 

doing its job. It is making many people sick, and we have got about 2,200 families that have left their home out of 13,000 that are living there.

The company behind the controversial keystone XL oil pipeline is suing the US government to reverse its decision, denying it a permit to build. Trans-Canada is also 

seeking 15 billion dollars in damages from a trade tribunal. President Obama blocked the project, saying it harmed fight against climate change.

白宫称美国、韩国和日本决定对朝鲜最近的核测试发起有力、统一的国际应对。奥巴马总统已致电韩国总统朴槿惠和日本首相安倍，记者在韩国首都首尔报道。美国和韩国总统之间进行了高级别对话，有报道称双方在考虑逐步撤出美军，我们不知道他们具体在谈什么，但在以前朝鲜进行核测试后，他们会采取类似的行动。之前的行动涉及一架隐形战斗机和B52轰炸机，所以这并不意味着军事紧张局势会升级。

加州州长杰瑞·布朗下令对本州各地的天然气储存设施采取新的安全标准并进行更严格的检查。这是应洛杉矶附近地下燃气大规模泄露事故而采取的措施，自10月份以来，大量比温室气体二氧化碳更有害的甲烷泄露到大气中。社区领袖解释了泄露事故如何影响到当地居民。

甲烷是从井里泄露出来的，现在人们感到不舒服。这是一种有气味的硫醇，人们因此开始生病。这种气体比空气轻，所以能飘散开来，但硫醇一般会飘到社区，这种气体开始发挥作用时，很多人就病了。这里共1.3万户人家，目前我们已经撤离了2200户。

有争议的keystone XL输油管道背后的公司目前起诉美国政府，要求撤回其拒绝给本公司管道修建许可的决定。加拿大能源公司还要求贸易法庭给予150亿美元的赔偿。奥巴马总统否决了该项目，称之有损于针对气候变化的努力。
