Top News228 injured in Taiwan park fireAt least 228 people were injured after a fire occurred in a recreational park in New Taipei city, Taiwan, on Saturday.
The fire was suspected to have resulted from explosion of a large amount of an unknown flammable powder.
The injured, including 96 seriously hurt, have been rushed to dozens of hospitals in New Taipei city and nearby cities of Taipei and Taoyuan.
The fire broke out at the centre of the stage when up to one thousand people were having a color play party.
This is the worst incident of mass injury in the history of New Taipei city.
China cuts reserve ratio, interest rates to support growthAnchor:
China's central bank has cut both the requirement reserve ratio, the amount of reserves banks required to hold, and benchmark interest rates.
As CRI's Wang Wei reports, the policy aims to better support the real economy and promote economic restructuring.
Reporter:
This is the third RRR reduction in nearly five months, and the fourth round of interest rate cuts in nearly seven months.
According to the People's Bank of China or PBOC, the latest move aims to further lower borrowing costs and boost the economy through restructuring.
Yao Yudong, director for the PBOC's Finance Research Institute, explains the reasons behind the adjustments.
"First, this is to further support restructuring. The purpose of the RRR reduction is to boost financial institutes' abilities to support farmers, rural and agricultural development as well as small and micro businesses. It also aims to improve the key areas and weak links in the national economy and is conducive1 for financial institutes to support mass entrepreneurship and innovation."The central bank has cut the RRR for the second time this year for commercial banks financing the agricultural sector2 , along with small and micro businesses.
The targeted RRR cut, carried out instead of a general reduction, will help to improve the economic structure and support weak sectors3, while also preventing flush liquidity4.
Yao continues to explain that it is unnecessary to lower the RRR in a wider range because of the current adequate liquidity.
"Adequate liquidity is one of the reasons for the targeted RRR cut. The targeted cut will increase liquidity to some extent and this is necessary considering that there will be certain scale of RMB consumption during July and August, for example, the profit sharing by major financial institutions, so the adjustment is proactive and preventive."Some experts point out that it is not usual to see the "double cuts" at the same time. However, against the backdrop of "new normal" of slower but more sustainable growth, the central bank's move has been expected, with its main target to further stabilize5 economic growth.
Moreover, Yao suggests that the cutting of RRR and key interest rates does not mean a change of the country's prudent6 monetary7 policy.
"It can be regarded as a fine-tuning without affecting the monetary policy's consistency8 and steadiness. Its prudent monetary policy remains9 unchanged, and still focuses on supporting real economy and structural10 adjustment. This fine-tuning is an active move to adapt to the new normal of economic development, and sustains a neutral monetary and financial environment."Experts say the rare easing step of cutting the RRR and the benchmark interest rates will make the monetary policy adjustment more targeted and effective to support the real economy.

The two-day World Peace Forum is being held in Beijing this weekend.
As CRI's Min Rui reports, the conference has gathered many former foreign leaders and scholars to discuss key issues on peace resolutions.
Reporter:
This is the 4th annual World Peace Forum hosted by Tsinghua University. This year's theme is overcoming difficulties: understanding, consultation14 and reciprocity.
Chinese Vice15 President Li Yuanchao attended the opening ceremony this morning at Beijing's Tsinghua University.
He says peace and security are the prerequisite16 for common development of mankind.
He also stressed that disagreements and differences between countries can be resolved through consultation.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, former president of Indonesia, speaks highly of Li's proposal and is calling to build mutual17 understanding through solving challenges together.
"Building peace and security should start by knowing and identifying our challenges. Most importantly, knowing how to overcome those challenges. The next important step is finding and creating opportunities for a stronger and durable18 peace. Only then would we be able to build a framework and architecture for a comprehensive regional security cooperation."Other key topics of the forum include security cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region, European and global security cooperation, ASEAN and South Asian regional security cooperation.
Regarding the South China Sea issue, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at the meeting that some foreign politicians are enthusiastic about playing with the issue for their own political motivations. However parties concerned should all view this in a cool headed and objective way.
"We have full commitment and sufficient ability to solve this issue, we will continue to uphold our legitimate19 rights and interests in Nansha in reasonable and justified20 means. And we will continue the cooperation with the ASEAN countries to safeguard the peace and stability of the South China Sea and we will work with all countries on the basis of respect and international law."Some 500 former foreign leaders and scholars participated in the plenary meeting and panels on different issues.
The forum was first launched in 2012, and is China's top level non-governmental seminar focusing on international security.
For CRI, I'm Min Rui.
Ambassador on China-EU TiesJust ahead of the China-EU leaders' meeting in Brussels, a senior Chinese diplomat22 says the China-EU relationship has become one of the world's most important, constructive23 and influential24 partnerships26.
Ambassador Yang Yanyi, head of the Chinese Mission to the EU, made the remarks at a recent seminar on China-EU ties.
"Through concerted efforts and cooperation, China-EU relations have evolved and matured from trade to now cover a wide spectrum27 of political security, economic, social, cultural cooperation, culminating in their elevation28 to a comprehensive strategic partnership25 featuring peace, reform, growth and civilization."Yang adds that China is ready to work with the EU to further improve bilateral29 ties.
"We stand ready to join hands with EU to deepen mutual understanding and political trust through regular meetings particularly the three pillars under the China-EU summit. We are ready to bring China-EU relationship to its full strategic potential by implementing30 in earnest the China-EU 2020 Strategic Agenda for Cooperation with renewed ambition and vigor31. "Chinese Premier32 Li Keqiang is to depart for Brussels later today.
During his visit, the Chinese premier will hold talks with top EU leaders, address the opening ceremony of a China-EU business summit and attending a forum on China-EU urbanization partnerships.
The two sides will also issue a document to outline their future cooperation priorities and a statement on climate change, along with the signing of cooperation deals on regional policies, intellectual property rights, customs, and technological33 innovation.
Lawmakers Considering Harsher Punishment for Child BuyerAnchor:
China's top lawmakers are considering tougher punishments for all parties involved in human trafficking, including those who buy abducted34 children.
CRI's Luo Wen reports.
Reporter:
The ninth draft amendment35 to the Criminal Law was submitted to the Standing13 Committee of the National People's Congress earlier this week.
It comes amid continuing discussions on China's social media outlets36 about whether or not child traffickers should be sentenced to death.
The amendment advocates "light punishment" for buyers who don't harm abducted children or hinder police rescue of the victimized children.
He Youlin, a member of the NPC Standing Committee, says this indeed gives a free reign12 to the act of children trafficking.
"Those who buy children can get lesser38 punishment or even an exemption39 only because they don't ill-treat the abducted children or appear cooperative in rescue operations. But will it embolden40 those possible buyers? We should take it seriously."Child trafficking has been rampant41 for a long time in rural China, especially in poverty-stricken southwestern regions. Some pregnant women have been found to have sold their own children.
The traditional preference of boys over girls, especially in the countryside, has also been blamed for boosting the trade.
Some rural residents who don't have a boy would like to buy one, which many law experts say fuels demand.
Jiang Zhuangde is also taking part in the discussion of the amendment. He backs harsher punishments for child buyers.
"The effort to crack down on child buyers is obviously not enough. The current penalties are too light to deter42 the offenders43. The huge demand is another major reason why child trafficking becomes rampant. Those who buy children should face criminal penalties or harsher punishment at least."According to the Supreme44 People's Court, nearly 13,000 people involved in trafficking were punished between 2010 and 2014 with over half receiving sentences ranging from at least five years in prison to the death penalty.
Under the current law, child traffickers can be sentenced to a maximum of 10 years in prison. If more than three victims are involved or if there are casualties, the punishments can rise to life in prison or death.
A recent poll on Sina.com showed over 92 percent of the more than 21,000 respondents recommended that the same punishment imposed on child traffickers should also be applied45 to buyers.

China's Oil Futures46 May Start Trading in SeptChina's futures exchange authority has said the country may launch its International Oil Futures Platform at the end of September.
"Crude oil futures may be able to trade in three months. It will be a fully open platform and all overseas investors48 and brokerage agencies can trade crude oil futures through our platform."Song made the remarks at Lujiazui Forum in Shanghai.
China is now the world's largest importer and consumer of crude oil.
Song says the launch of the crude oil futures can improve China's bargaining power in global crude oil trading.
"Through the Chinese crude oil market, Chinese investors will bring China's supply and demand information to the global market, and the global information to the Chinese market. In this way, the oil pricing can be called a global system."Song Anping notes that China is not pursuing a replacement49 of the current crude oil pricing system.
He also reveals policies have been worked out to clear way for overseas investors to invest in China's crude oil futures.
China's New Media Rapidly Developing, Wechat becomes Major PlatformAnchorAn annual report on New Media in China says China has entered its "flying development period" as rapid integration50 of traditional industries and online platforms is underway.
The report also points out that Wechat has become a major way of distributing information, but faces problems related to the spreading of rumours51 and other false information.
CRI's Liu Xiangwei reports.
ReporterAccording to the report, the internet is now a must for many Chinese people seeking information, communicating, shopping, and paying for various products and services.
Li Peilin, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, says the service industry has used mobile networks widely since last year.
"China's new media development is embracing unprecedented52 opportunities. New media is increasingly becoming an integrated service platform for Chinese people especially young citizens in urban area. Different kinds of online services are springing up such as online shopping, e-payment, online taxi booking, online education and even online medical treatment.
Li Peilin adds that China's new media is faced with problems, including Internet information security, supervision53 over internet finance, as well as the spread of rumors54 online.
According to the report, China's micro blogging platform Sina Weibo is still the largest platform for spreading information, though more and more people are starting to communicate with the instant messaging service Wechat.
Tang Xujin, chief editor of the report, says information spreading via Wechat is increasing sharply.
Even though Weibo users' dropped 11.4 percent compared with the year before, active users ended up adding 48 million mobile client. Meanwhile, by the end of last year, Wechat had more than 600million users and the average reading of each user is 5.9 articles every day.
According to the report, nearly 60 percent of fake news items in 2014 originated on Sina Weibo, while rumors on WeChat, although only accounting55 for 7 percent, were more difficult to dispel56 because it is a closed system.
Compared with Weibo, where different stories often contradict each other, WeChat users are reluctant to point out rumors posted by their friends and families.
Tang Xujin says there are some common topics among the fake stories..
There is a subject report concentrating on wechat rumors. According to the report, the top seven topics for wechat rumors are food security, human security, disease, health regimes, fraud, finance and parenting techniques. Wechat rumors typically involve exaggeration of details, like figures. The writing seems to be reasonable and easy to believe while the information is highly uncertain. All the above makes people easily fooled."This year marks the sixth year for the CASS to release the "Annual Report on Development of New Media in China."For CRI, I'm Liu Xiangwei.
British Tourists Evacuated58 from TunisiaThe number of Britons confirmed to have died in an attack on a Tunisian beach hotel has risen to 15.
"Sadly, I can confirm that at least 15 British nationals were killed in yesterday's atrocity60, but I should stress that the number may well rise, for several more have been seriously injured in this horrific attack."A total of 39 people were killed in the attack claimed by the Islamic State. German and Belgian tourists were also among the dead.
Ellwood said it was the "most significant" attack on British people since bombings on the London transport system on July 7, 2005. Meanwhile, British travel agencies are evacuating62 thousands of holiday-makers from Tunisia.
Leading holiday brands Thomson and First Choice said they had about 6,400 customers across Tunisia when the attack took place in the seaside resort of Sousse. The tour operators have sent 10 planes to evacuate57 tourists and said 1,000 had already been repatriated63. They would also cancel all their holiday packages to Tunisia for at least the next week. Peter Long, from Thomson and First Choice's parent group, says the company was devastated64 by the incident. "I am deeply, deeply shocked in terms of the events that we have seen over the last 20 hours in Tunisia and our whole organisation65 is reeling with pain to see the suffering that has taken place in Tunisia with our customers." Tunisia is planning to close down 80 mosques66 that remained outside state control within a week.
It was the second big attack in Tunisia this year following the Islamist militant67 assault on the Bardo Museum in the capital in March, when left 22 dead.
Germany Confirms Victims in Tunisia AttackGerman foreign minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has confirmed that one German citizen was killed and another wounded in the attack in Tunisia.
"We now have the sad certainty that, in the attack in Sousse, at least one German was killed and another German citizen was wounded. We have now been able to clear up many cases of missing people, but we cannot at this point entirely68 rule out a few more Germans being among the victims."The incident happened on Friday when a gunman opened fire on a crowd of tourists at a resort in Sousse.
Earlier reports said that among the 39 dead were tourists from Britain, Germany and Belgium.
People Pay Tribute to Attack Victim in FranceIn France, people are paying tribute after a man was beheaded at a factory near Lyon by a suspected Islamist employee.
Christiane Sadin, from the local council, says the attack shows the French people's respolve in the face of fear.
"We are in a democracy which is being touched in its very heart by people whose aim is to spread terror, and the reason for our presence, at least for all the members of the municipal council, is to show that life must go on, and we are here to fight for liberty, and we won't give in in the face of fear."The suspect has been named as Yassin Sahli.
Sahli beheaded his boss and left the body, daubed with Arabic writing, at the site of the gas plant in the town of Saint-Quentin-Fallavier, before trying to blow up the complex.
He later rammed69 his delivery van into a warehouse70 containing gas canisters, triggering an initial explosion, and was arrested as he tried to open canisters containing combustible71 chemicals.
Eurozone Finance Ministers Reject Greek Request for One-Month Bailout Extension as referendum loomsAnchor:
The Eurozone has rejected a Greek request for a one-month extension to its bailout on Saturday, plunging72 the country into further uncertainty73 and raising concerns about wider financial fallout when markets open on Monday.
The announcement comes after Greek Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras, abandoned negotiations74 and called for a public referendum on the terms of a new deal.
Cri's Poornima Weerasekara reports.
Reporter:
Eurogroup finance ministers shut out their Greek counterpart from a meeting in Brussels on Saturday and issued a statement without him that accused Athens of breaking off negotiations with the EU unilaterally.
Greek Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis had earlier held out hopes of a last-ditch deal with creditors75 to prevent Greece from defaulting on its 1.6 billion euro loan repayment76 to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that is due on June 30.
But then negotiators were blindsided by Greece's surprise move to call on a public referendum on June 5, after the Tuesday deadline to pay up.
The 11th-hour announcement of a referendum has derailed five months of intense talks.
Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem, says now they were discussing a "Plan B" – on how to limit the damage of a default and deal with possible aftershocks.
"Well I've always said, and will say that the door is open. It was not the institutions that walked away from the talks last night, it was the representatives of the Greek government that walked away from those talks. It was not us who said the talks have come to an end in a negative way, it was the Greek government who have said that what is on the table now deserves a 'no'. That's all I can say. The process has not ended. It will never end probably. We will continue to work with Greece".
The Greek parliament is due to vote later on whether to ratify77 the referendum that allows Greek voters to decide on the terms of a new deal.
Ordinary Greeks,however, are now lining78 up outside banks, to withdraw their savings79 that could lead to a possible bank run.
Earlier, The European Central Bank (ECB) had given emergency liquidity funding to shore up the Greek banking80 system, but is now reluctant to throw another life-line.
But Greek Prime Minister Yanis Varoufakis blamed international lenders for making an 'inadequate81 proposal' that his government just couldn't accept.
"The refusal of the Eurogroup today to endorse82 our request for an extension of this agreement for a few days, a couple of weeks, so as to allow the Greek people to deliver their verdict on the institutions' proposal, especially given that there is a very high probability that Greeks will go against our recommendation and vote in favour of the institutions' proposal... That refusal will certainly damage the credibility of the Eurogroup as a democratic union of partner member states and I'm very much afraid that that damage will be permanent."Greek's brinkmanship has now pushed Europe's single currency into a stage of rupture83 for the first time in its 16-year life. If Greece exits the Euro, the financial fallout could send shockwaves across the global economy.

Chinese and US researchers developing accurate hydrographic printing for 3D objects.
Let's catch up on all the latest with CRI's Wenjie.
Chinese, US researchers develop accurate hydrographic printing for 3D objectsChinese and U.S. researchers have jointly98 developed a new technique that can color the surface of manufactured 3D objects with a thin film.
Researchers from China's Zhejiang University and Columbia University in the U.S. call the new method "computational hydrographic printing."Using the hydrographic process, a PVA film with printed color patterns will be placed on top of a container of water, and sprayed with an activator99 chemical.
Then the object will be dipped onto the film which wraps the surface of it.
Zhou Kun is the lead researcher and director of the State Key Lab of CAD& CG at Zhejiang University.
"First, we print a surface color pattern with an inkjet printer and then use it to create a film for hydrographic printing. During the process, the film wraps the surface of a 3D object. That's how it shows our 3D design concept."A 3D vision system will measure the location and orientation100 of the object with respect to the film during the computational process.
The computational model can be used to predict color film distortion during hydrographic immersion101 and guide the object onto the film.
Researchers have also introduced a multi-immersion design to avoid severe film distortion and film tearing.
Zhou says the hydrographic printing is relatively102 inexpensive and can be applied to various materials including metal, plastic, wood, porcelain103 and rubber.
However, one of the biggest benefits of the new technique is that it can color the surface of 3D objects with the most precise alignment104.
The research will be presented at the 42nd International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics105 and Interactive106 Techniques in August in Los Angeles.
Laser radar to help cities combat smogChinese engineers are developing laser radar equipment to monitor air pollution.
The advanced equipment can be used to monitor airflow and particulate107 matter and other air pollutants108 such as PM2.5.
Leaders at Beijing Huahang Radio Measurement Institute have decided109 to utilize110 their radar expertise111 to help cities fight smog, one of their biggest concerns.
Song Yubin is a radar expert at the Institute.
He says the laser radar can conduct three-dimensional, omnidirectional scans from the surface to the planetary boundary layer, so it can monitor almost everything in the air that affects our health.
China's environmental authorities now mainly use gravimetric analysis or beta ray attenuation112 instruments to monitor PM2.5 concentration in the air.
The institute is developing a range of radar equipment called SkyLidar that is much smaller and uses less energy.
The devices can be easily mounted on cars, ships, aircraft and even satellites.
It's set to go on sale next year.
China eyes foreign cooperation for deep-sea studiesChina will work with foreign universities to research life in the deepest depths of the sea.
The Rainbowfish Hadal Life Science Research Center in Shanghai is developing a manned submersible that can dive up to 11-thousand meters under water.
The center's director Cui Weicheng, who also served as Jiaolong's deputy chief designer, explains why he's developed the new vehicle.
"The main reason why I developed the Rainbow Fish submersible is in order to fill the gap in the hadal science of our country. The Rainbow Fish will go much faster than the Jiaolong submersible in regards to the speed of rising and diving. The appearance of the new vehicle will also be very different."The center has signed agreements to establish a lab with the UK's University of Aberdeen and Hawaii Pacific University in the U.S.
Cui also stresses that international cooperation is important, because the oceans are so large and the deep-sea environment so complicated that no country can finish a large-scale research project on its own.
The Rainbow Fish vessel113 will be put into service next year, and be used to collect data and specimens114 under the world's 26 hadal trenches115.
Food and cosmetics safety tested with fish embryosA Hong Kong-based company has developed an innovative116 way to test food and cosmetics.
Vitagent (International) Biotechnology Limited uses fish embryos to detect toxins in everything from cosmetics and skin care products to cooking oil and milk.
Dr Chen Xue-ping, Co-founder117 and Chief Technology Officer of the company, explains that the fish used have a DNA118 structure very similar to humans, meaning that they are susceptible119 to the same toxins and chemicals.
"Fish respond to toxicants in a similar way as all humans do, that has (been) well proven by scientific fields. So using the fish embryos, (it) is a small, tiny and transparent120 organism and also in a non-animal stage to do the testing will help us save time and predict or screen what kind of toxicants (are) in the food."In order to test if there are toxicants in the products, researchers place the extracted sample together with fish embryos and leave them for 24 hours.
The technique uses young transgenic zebrafish and medaka fish whose development is altered in specific ways by known toxins such as chemicals, heavy metals and estrogens.
Some of the fish embryos turn fluorescent121 in the presence of certain toxins, while others develop abnormalities and tumours122.
Eric Chen, the founder of the company, claims that its tests can screen for more than 1,000 toxins at one time.
"Compared to the existing testing methods, the chemical analysis can only test five to ten toxics123 (meaning toxins) at one time, but we can test thousands within 24 hours so it is much faster and much more economical and comprehensive. And compared to the animal testing, this is classified as non-animal testing as well."Chen believes the testing process could speed up product safety checks and help companies identify disease-causing contaminants.
The new technology has won the Grand Prix at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva this month, the world's largest invention exhibition.
Jaguar124 Land Rover advertise remote controlled carJaguar Land Rover has recently been showing off their latest app that allows the driver to control their car via a smartphone.
The online demonstration125 has already gone viral and has been met with high expectations across the globe.
When using the app, the car will only be able to travel at speeds of 6 miles per hour and the user must be constantly within 10 meters of the car to maintain connectivity.
The app is designed to be mainly used by the user out-of-car, when moving across rough terrain126, parking in a tight spot or maneuvering127 their car through a narrow area.
The concept of remotely controlling a car seems interesting, but in order for the product to be popular and practical there are certain expectations it is going to have to meet.
Safety measures, strong connectivity, and easy to use controls are among expectations consumers will have for this device.
Jaguar Land Rover stated that they hope the app can hit the market as early as next year.
Samsung invests in virtual reality headsetSamsung has invested in the world's first ever eye-tracking virtual reality headset, by tech firm Fove.
The Fove headset allows users to play computer games, such as first person shooters, by only using their eyes. The firm reached its funding target back in May after a public demonstration but has said it will use the extra funding from Samsung to add extra functionality. It is now believed that Foves' total funding has exceeded 700,000 USD.
Sony have recently been promoting their virtual headsets and with the extra funding Fove has received, it would seem safe to say that virtual reality is going to be the near future for video game enthusiasts128.
And that concludes this week's sci&tech report, I'm Wenjie, see you next week!

Rafael Nadal is down to number 10 in the seedings, but says he is feeling confident despite a string of injuries that have plagued his game over the last 12 months.
"Well, I feel good. I won a tournament on grass after five years, a good moment for me and a special one. I am practicing well this week. Let's see if I am able to compete well then later. So just happy to be here, you know. Healthy, that's the most important thing."On women's side,Having already won in Paris and Melbourne, Serena Williams is on course to win her third Grand Slam of the year.
The world number one offered these thoughts on the tournament.
"I think the fact that I lost so early the past couple years definitely makes me motivated. But I think that also gives me a little less pressure because I haven't done well here in the past two years. It makes me feel like, Okay, I'll be fine. I have nothing to lose here. I don't have many points to defend here. So it's just like trying to have fun, go through it.
Williams will have to play significantly better than she did last year if she is to become the first woman since Steffi Graff - and only the third of all time - to win all four major tournaments in a year.

Asian champion Zhang Wenxiu wins first title after doping incidentAsian hammer throw champion Zhang Wenxiu claimed her first title since she was cleared of doping when the 29-year-old delivered a 71.91-meter throw at the National Athletics135 Championships.
Her winning throw was 77.91 meter, nearly six meters shy of her personal best of 77.33 meters.
The 29-year-old won her third consecutive Asian Games title last September in Incheon.

Zhang then filed an appeal with the Court of Arbitration136 for Sport and successfully had OCA's decision overturned.

"Hollywood Adventures" Takes in 55 Mln yuan on Opening DayAction comedy "Hollywood Adventures" has made a grand opening with a taking of 55 million yuan, close to one million US dollars, at the Chinese box office.
Directed by Timothy Kendall, the film stars Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming and Tong Dawei.
The film follows the story of three Chinese tourists in Hollywood caught in a drug trafficking case because of a bag of rhinoceros141 horn powder.
Despite the big box office opening, the film has received mixed reviews with ratings of five out of ten on two major Chinese movie review sites.
A total of ten movies opened in Chinese mainland theatres on Friday, including Oscar-nominated "Begin Again" and Taiwan movie "Hear Me" which opened six years after its premiere.
Starring Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley and Adam Levine, "Begin Again" took only 800-thousand yuan at the box office.

Penn & Teller144 on doing a Broadway stint145 in JulyThe magician duo of Penn and Teller spoke146 about their upcoming Broadway run in New York.
The pair have played the great white way before, but have set up shop in Las Vegas for the past 14 years.
Penn Jillette talked about their performance.
"For the Broadway show, we went back the full 40 years we've been working together and kind of cherry-picked stuff we wanted to do. We wanted this to be the definitive147 Penn and Teller show."Jillette added that it means they had to make some adjustments.
While it sounds dangerous, Jillette said it's always safety first.
"Well, magic itself is difficult, you can never get rote148 doing tricks. The stuff we do has to 100% safe, and in order to make it 100% safe, we have to be careful. We have to do stuff right. We don't ever - I don't like the kind of magic that pretends there's real human danger. But in order to make sure there is no human danger we have to be very careful. And also we love doing the show, so we don't have to do any tricks to keep ourselves amused. Doing tricks for the audience is quite enough."Jillette feels there's no substitute for being careful.
Penn and Teller begin a six-week run at Broadway's Marquis Theater on July 7.
Documentary on Pink Floyd's Founding Member to Be Released This SummerA new documentary film centering on late Pink Floyd member Syd Barrett is to be released later this summer.
Barrett, who died in 2006, founded the rock band with bass21 guitarist Roger Waters, drummer Nick Mason and keyboardist Rick Wright in 1965.
However, Barrett stayed in the band for only three years.
Titled "Have You Got It?", the film was directed by Roddy Bogawa and included interviews with the surviving members of the band.
The film is set to explain the singer and guitarist's life and his short musical career.
