CNN 美国有线新闻 2014-10-04

 It's great to have you watching CNN student news. My name is K Z. Our commercial free coverage¹ this Thursday starts in New York. We gonna find headquarters in the United Nations. All 193 member countries are invited to UN general assembly, which going on this week. Its goals include fostering cooperation between nations, making decision on issues concerning peace and security. President Obama addressed the assembly yesterday. He focused on several issues, the biggest was terrorism and US led the fight against ISIS military group. Already 40 nations have offered to join in this coalition². Today, I asked the world to join in this effort. Those, who join in Islam, should leave the battle field while they can. Those who continue to fight for hateful goals, we find they are increasingly alone. For we are not come to threat, we will demonstrate the future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy.

The president also repeated that the US will not put boots on the ground, meaning US troops will not be involved in direct fighting. That's something that several officials say maybe needed to defeat ISIS terrorists.

President Obama also asked for international help in fighting Ebola virus. An outbreak the fever has ravaged³ west Africa this year. It has very high death rate and it kills thousands so far. The US is sending 3000 troops plus medical and health workers to Liberia. That's the hardest hit country. And the United Nation has passed a resolution that asks every member country to speed up its response to Ebola.

Yes, it's scary. Yes, it's terrifying. Of course, it's terrifying. But what are you going to do? Women, men and children are dying. Families are being devastated⁴. In any other conflict situation, people takes that risk and they going. Somali during the famine, you couldn't move the international community. And you get to M/V, you just get the sense of loneliness, and isolation⁵, and the fact that people just are on the ground. It was very different from what I normally do. Where you know there is a threat, and you know you are going towards the threat or away from the threat and that threat is very apparent. The smell of bleach⁶ as you come into the rival terminal, because all over are these buckets of valued bleach people wash their hands in. And very quickly, you kinda start to get used to that reality, you are not shaking anyone's hands, you are keeping a distance, even the cured people are keeping a distance from each other so you don't accidently touch. And there are those bleach buckets are gonna be your best friends. The hard work definitely had a huge impact on us. Just the fact that they had lost so many colleagues and friends and kept going out there. and we are learning on the job, I mean the job worth to be learned on. The bravery and just the real, the sheer, just determination that takes, get up, get up to know your job, everyday is to suit up and risk your life in the hope that you're gonna beat this. But heartbreak thing is this's regional. We start to put ourselves buck⁷ up after years and years of really devastating⁸ conflicts. What has been the most dishearting is waiting for international community. And as a journalist, you hope that your job is to show the world, then the world response.
