VOA常速英语2021--亚特兰大举行反亚裔仇恨集会（在线收听）

Opponents of Myanmar's coup fled gunfire in Naypyidaw on Saturday as international pressure on the military junta increased. Video obtained by the Reuters news agency showed crowds of protesters running down a street in the country's capital while tear gas and live rounds were fired in the background. News reports say at least one person was killed. Meanwhile, dozens of protesters on motorbikes took to the street in the southeastern city of Dawei on Saturday to protest the military coup. Authorities have tightened restrictions on Internet services, making information increasingly difficult to verify. They have also clamped down on private media. Demonstrations against the coup have continued since February 1 in several cities and towns across the country, including Mandalay and Yangon. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday condemned what he called the military's continual brutal violence. U.N. special rapporteur Tom Andrews called for sanctions in response to the generals' "ruthless" attacks on the people.

缅甸政变的反对者周六在内比都躲避枪火，同时，国际社会对军政府持续施压。路透社获得的视频显示，大批抗议者在缅甸首都的一条街道上奔跑，背景充斥着催泪瓦斯和实弹。新闻报道称，至少有一人被杀害。与此同时，周六，数十名骑摩托车的抗议者涌上东南部城市土瓦的街道，抗议军事政变。缅甸当局加强了对互联网服务的限制，使得有关信息越来越难以核实。他们还压制了私人媒体。自2月1日以来，缅甸多个城镇持续爆发抗议政变的示威活动，包括曼德勒和仰光。联合国秘书长古特雷斯星期五谴责了缅甸军方持续不断的野蛮暴力行为。联合国特别报告员汤姆·安德鲁斯呼吁实施制裁，以回应军方对人民的“无情”攻击。

Ahead of World Water Day Monday, the World Meteorological Organization is warning that climate change is intensifying water-related disasters. We get more from Lisa Schlein in Geneva. The World Meteorological Organization says increased flooding threatens to destroy water points and sanitation facilities and contaminate water sources. As a consequence, WMO spokeswoman Clare Nullis says billions of people have limited or no access to clean water and sanitation. "We expect this problem to be exacerbated because of socioeconomic changes, the population growth and obviously changes in sources of water, such as glaciers." The WMO says more than half of counties worldwide have no quality management systems for water. The agency is calling for more concerted action on safeguarding the world's diminishing water sources and on mitigating climate change. Lisa Schlein, for VOA news, Geneva.
