2014年CRI 北京交管局原局长宋建国被查 海南一幼儿园发生疑似食物中毒（在线收听）

A former chief of the Beijing traffic police is being investigated for discipline violations.

Song Jianguo became the head of the capital's traffic management division in 2008 before the Beijing Olympic Games.

He's being accused of using his position to take advantage of the car plate lottery system here in the capital.

The license-plate lottery system came into effect in December of 2010.

It was implemented by Song's division.

Suspected food poisoning at a kindergarten in Hainan has put over 100 children in hospital.

The children developed food-poisoning symptoms after having lunch.

96 of the children have been confirmed with food poisoning.

All of them are in stable condition.

Authorities are now trying to track down the source of the food poisoning.

A fire at a hospital in Seoul has left at least 21 dead.

Eight others have been hospitalized, after the fire broke out in an annex building adjacent to the mental health facility.

Authorities suspect an 81-year old dementia patient started the fire.

The facility housed mostly Alzheimer's patients.

The fatal fire comes just two days after a fire at a bus terminal in a city north of Seoul killed 7 and left close to 60 others injured.
