TopXi urges breakthroughs in military structural6 reformAnchor:
A new series of plans have been announced by China's Central Military Commission to streamline the military command.
The details from CRI's Xie Cheng.
Reporter:
In line with the new planned structure, the CMC will take charge of the overall administration of the armed forces, the armed police, the militia7 and the reserve forces.
A general command center for land forces will be set up, enabling the CMC to directly administer and command various military departments.
The current regional military commands will be regrouped into new battle zone commands supervised by the CMC.
Currently, a majority of the Chinese troops, consisting of 850,000 ground forces, are deployed8 in seven military area commands headquartered in Shenyang, Beijing, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Chengdu and Lanzhou.
The CMC, the top leadership organ of the Chinese military, exercises command and control over the seven military area commands, the Navy, the Air Force and the Second Artillery9 Corps10 through four general headquarters.
At a top military leadership meeting drawing to close Thursday in Beijing, Xi Jinping says the move to deepen defense11 and military reform is aimed at breaking down systematic12, structural and policy barriers.
China will also cut its troops levels by 300,000. Administrative17 and non-combat personnel in the military will be downsized.
The Chinese president's announcement comes more than two months after he vowed18 to downsize the nation's 2.3 million-member armed forces at the Victory Day parade on September 3rd of this year.
For CRI, I'm Xie ChengReform Aimed at More Professional TroopsAnchor:
A leading Chinese military observer is suggesting the new military reform plans announced this week by Xi Jinping should help streamline the management of the military to create a more organized structure.
CRI's Luo Wen has more.
Reporter:
Following a 3-day meeting among the top brass19 of the PLA this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping, who is also the head of the Central Military Commission, has announced a series of planned changes for the organizational structre of the Chinese military.
Among the changes will be the creation of separate commands for the separate military divisions, including the Army, the Navy, the Airforce and the Strategic Rocket forces.
A general command center for land forces is also being set up, while the current regional military commands will be regrouped into larger "theater" commands.
A three-tier command system is also being set up, with the Central Military Commission at the top, followed by the theater commands who will dictate20 orders to individual combat units.
And at the same time, the Central Military Commission will run a new administration system to cover various services for PLA troops, such as payments, pensions and other veterans services.
Zhao Xiaozhuo with Chinese Academy of Military Sciences says the moves should help clear-up a lot of the bureaucracy which exists within the PLA.
"These reforms are meant to adjust the constitution of the armed forces, as well as the composition of the personnel structure. In particular, the proportion of administrative personnel, as well as non-combat personnel, will be cut down. This will create more space for combat personnel. The reform plans also include plans to transform the soldiers into a more elite21 force."The current structure of the Chinese military takes its roots from the initial formation of the People's Republic in 1949.
Back then, the military was built-up with the distinct goal of repelling22 a large-scale invasion and taking part in a mechanized war.
That began changing in the mid23 1980's when the Chinese military began upgrading its technology to deal with the realities of more modern warfare24 scenarios25.
But Zhao Xiaozhuo with the Academy of Military Sciences says the organizational structure hasn't really kept up with the times.
"In recent years, China's armament and military science and technology has developed very quickly, as has the training for our soldiers. Yet, the organizational system is still relatively26 backward. The current system was developed basically in the 1980s and hasn't really changed over the past 30 years. However, the international situation, as well as the internal requirements in China for the armed forces has changed dramatically. So I think it makes sense to bring in reforms to the organizational structure of the military."Also among the reforms are plans to divest27 the military out of non-core areas.
While the military has been banned from commerical ventures in China since the late 1990's, the PLA does still have non-military components28, including hospitals around the country which are for-profit ventures open to the public.
In announcing the planned changes, the Chinese Ministry29 of Defense says it also plans to provide more support to military personnel who may find themselves shuffled-out as a result of the reforms.
Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans to cut 300-thousand from the PLA ranks during this year's event to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
For CRI, I'm Luo Wen.
China's peace commitment unchanged after military overhaulThe Ministry of Defense says the plan to reorganize the current military command system will not affect the overall defense policy.
Defense Ministry spokesperson Yang Yujun says China's policy of maintaining a defensive32 military remains33 unchanged.
"China will always uphold the flag of peace, development and cooperation, and will always follow the defensive defense policy. The cut of 300,000 troops has again demonstrated China's resolve to pursue a path of peaceful development, and Chinese armed forces will always be a staunch force to safeguard world peace and regional stability."The Defense department says the move to streamline the Chinese military command structure is commensurate with its international standing34 and interests in security and development.
China stocks tumble most since summer slumpMarkets on the Chinese mainland ended the last trading day of the week notably35 lower as the country's securities regulator widened its probe on brokerages.
Stocks tumbled heavily in the afternoon session, with the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index nose-diving more than 4 percent.
Brokerages led the decline with CITIC Securities at one point hitting the daily drop limit of 10 percent.
This came after CITIC Securities and Guosen Securities announced Thursday that they are under investigation36 by the Securities Regulatory Commission.
The regulator said the two brokerages are being investigated for alleged37 violations38 of securities supervision39 and management regulations.
The brokerages said they would cooperate fully40 with the investigations41, and that there would be no impact on their current operations.
It's also being reported that another brokerage giant Haitong Securities is also being investigated by the regulator.
Haitong's share trading was suspended on Friday morning.
At the close, the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index sank 5.5 percent.
The smaller Shenzhen index lost 6.3 percent.
Beijing Sets Population Ceiling at 23 MillionBeijing's municipal government has reiterated45 its determination to cap the city's population at 23 million by 2020 due to water scarcity46 and big city diseases such as traffic congestion47.
Last year, the resident population of the capital was measured at 21.5 million, which is still on the rise as job seekers from other areas keep arriving.
"The figure of 23 million is set based on the bearing capacity of the city's water resources. Beijing is short of 1.5 billion cubic meters of water a year, which can be eased rather than fundamentally resolved by the south-north water transfer project."The water diversion project aims to supply a third of Beijing's water from resources found in China's humid south.
Li said the city would relocate industry to neighbouring regions.
New schools and hospitals are also on the agenda to help reduce the flow of non-Beijingers who seek medical treatment in the capital.
Beijing to adopt world's strictest emissions49 standardMunicipal authorities in Beijing have started soliciting50 public opinion about proposed new vehicle emission48 standards.
Under the proposal, which covers both passenger and industrial vehicles, Beijing's Environmental Protection Bureau is hoping to cut vehicle emissions by 30-percent in the next 7-years.
Phase-6 of the emission standards will require passenger vehicles to pump out 40-percent less exhaust in 2-years time.
Vehicles with larger motors, such as buses and industrial vehicles, are going to have to cut their emissions by 50-percent.
It's not been made clear how the authorities plan to make this happen, though its expected to include restrictions51 on which type of vehicles can be sold, as well as quality controls on the fuel sold at the pumps.
Smog is a major problem in Beijing, though steps are being taken to reduce the air-quality issues.
This has included moving or shutting down high-polluting industrial facilities, as well as incentives52 for people to purchase electric or hybrid53 vehicles.
Giant Panda Basi to Celebrate her 35th BirthdayGiant panda Basi, the oldest of its kind alive in the Chinese mainland, will celebrate her 35th birthday tomorrow in southeast China's Fuzhou City.
Chen Yucun is the director of Fuzhou Giant Panda Center.
"An age of 20 for giant pandas is equal to an age of 80 in human beings, the ratio is about one to four. So we can scientifically say Basi's age is equal to over 100 years old for a human."Basi is the first giant panda to be diagnosed with blood hypertension in the world.
She is in good health now as her breeder takes her blood pressure every day, gives her medication, and helps her do exercises.
The average age of pandas is 20, and the most long-lived, died at the age of 37.
Putin, Hollande agree to work more closely in fight against terrorism in SyriaAnchor:
The Presidents of France and Russia have agreed to increase cooperation in the fight against the Islamic State in Syria.
However, the two remain divided over the future role of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
CRI's Li Jianhua has more.
Reporter:
Francois Hollande and Vladmir Putin, meeting in Moscow, have agreed to increase intelligence sharing, intensify55 their airstrikes against the Islamic State in Syria, as well as coordinate56 on which targets to select when launching strikes.
Russia's stated military mandate57 when it entered into the Syrian conflict at the start of September on behalf of the Syrian government was to eliminate -quote- "terrorists."This is a term the Syrian government has used to describe both the Islamic State and opposition58 forces which are fighting to try to overthrow59 his administration.
Following his meeting with Hollande, Putin has suggested there is room to moderate what the term "terrorist" means.
"There are I think other forces that speak of their readiness to fight against terrorism. We are now trying to build a relationship with them, with some we have already built that, and as I have already repeatedly said we will be ready to support and their forces too in the fight against ISIS and other terrorist organizations the same as we support the army of Assad."Differences, however, remain between the two leaders over the future of Bashar al-Assad.
"I think that the fate of the President of Syria should lie entirely60 in the hands of the Syrian people."Russia has maintained a long-standing relationship with the Assad administration, going back to the days of the former Soviet61 Union, when Bashar's father Hafez authorized62 the creation of a Soviet Naval63 facility in Syria.
Russia still maintains the facility at Tartus, which is Russia's only remaining port in the Mediterranean64.
However, French President Francois Hollande has allied65 his administration with the US position that political change is needed in Syria to bring the fighting to an end.
"I believe that we must respect the following principle, if we want to ensure a political transition. The executive power should be entrusted66 to an independent government of national unity67, during the time of transition. This transition will have to achieve a constitution, and elections including all the communities as well as the members of the diaspora. And regarding France, it is clear that Bashar (Al-Assad) doesn't have a place in the future of Syria."At the same time, Hollande has also been unable to convince Putin to create a so-called "grand coalition68" to fight the Islamic State in Syria.
Hollande has been pressing Putin and other leaders in Europe to work jointly70 in Syria, something Putin has been unwilling71 to do.
Putin has also used his meeting with Hollande to blast France's NATO ally Turkey for not offering an apology for downing a Russian fighter jet this week.
Their 90-minute discussion has also included French support for the investigation into the downing of a Russian passenger jet in Egypt at the end of October which killed all 224 people onboard.
The Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The two leaders have also agreed meet again on the sidelines of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris set to get underway next week.
For CRI, this is Li Jianhua.
Turkish President refuses to apologise for Russian warplane incidentRhetoric between Turkey and Russia is heating up in the wake of Tuesday's downing of a Russian fighter jet by the Turkish airforce.
In the latest salvo, the Russian side is now accusing Turkey of purchasing oil from the Islamic State in Syria.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is flatly denying the allegation, saying he's willing to put his political livelyhood on the line.
"Russian authorities shouldn't have made such remarks. We would never sell or purchase (oil) from terrorist organizations. They should prove this. The moment they prove it, Tayyip Erdogan will not remain in this post. But those who disseminate72 this slander73, will they be willing to leave their posts as well?"It's being suggested the Russian government is trying to stir up dissent74 in Turkey toward Erdogan's presidency75 as a response to the downing of the Russian jet.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is moving to rebuff the suggestion.
"And now, about the resignation of the Turkish president. It is absolutely not our business. It is the decision of the Turkish people. We have never interfered77 in this and we will never interfere76 in it. It is very sad that the unprecedented78 level of our interstate relations that was reached with Turkey over the past years, over the past 10 years, has collapsed79."Ties between Russia and Turkey, strong political and economic allies at the start of the 21st century, have hit a low point over the conflict in Syria.
Turkey is among those which has been calling for the ouster of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, while Russia continues to support Damascus.
Erdogan has gone on-record saying they may have acted differently if it knew it was a Russian jet its airforce was targeting on Tuesday.
However, Putin has branded the incident as a "stab in the back" by "accomplices80 of terrorists."His government has since begun blocking food shipments from Turkey, and has issued a travel advisory81 for Russians planning to travel to Turkey for a vacation, which was poised82 to benefit from the cancellation83 of Russian tourist trips to Egypt in the wake of the Russian airliner84 bombing.
Cameron calls for more cooperation to deal with terrorist attacksUK Prime Minister David Cameron, speaking in Vienna, has called for more cooperation in border security and data sharing to crack down on terrorist attacks.
Earlier, during a speech in the British parliament, Cameron expressed the view that it was high time Britain joined air strikes against Islamic State in Syria, saying Britain couldn't "subcontract its security to other countries.""As members of the global coalition against ISIL (Islamic State), both the UK and Austria are committed to defeating these terrorists in Iraq and Syria. And as I said in parliament this morning, this must be part of a comprehensive strategy to bring the civil war in Syria to an end. And of course, the international talks, which Austria has hosted here in Vienna, are an absolutely vital part of that."In addition, Cameron also spoke31 about the refugee crisis, saying Europe needed "a comprehensive approach that tackles the problem at the source".
He called for more work with Turkey which is hosting more Syrian refugees than any other country.
Vienna is currently hosting international Syria peace talks, which started in late October.
North and South Korea to Hold High-level Talk Next MonthThe two Koreas have announced plans to hold a senior level meeting next month.
The vice-ministerial-level talks are set to take place in the North Korean border city of Kaesong on December 11th.
Jeong Joon-hee is with the South Korean Ministry of Unification.
"With vice-ministers as head representatives, we agreed to form a pool of representatives according to how we both see fit. We set a convenient agenda for the meeting to discuss pending85 issues related to the improvement of South Korea-North Korea relations."Details of what the two sides are expected to talk about have not been made public.
The high-level talks will be the first in some 8-years, should they go ahead.
Talks between the two sides were set to take place in 2013, but were cancelled at the last minute for yet unknown reasons.
This round of talks comes after the two sides traded fire earlier this year following a land mine explosion that maimed two South Korean soldiers patrolling the South's side of the Demilitarized Zone.
North and South Korea are still technically86 in a state of war, as the 1953 armistice87 which ended the fighting in the Korean War never resulted in a peace treaty.
With the 2015 UN climate change conference a few days away, experts are saying global warming has jeopardized89 the ecosystem of the Arctic.
CRI's Wang Mengzhen has more.
Reporter:
Northeast Arctic cod90, usually found in the Barents Seas, have been traveling up to the archipelago of Svalbard for the past three years.
Off the coast of Longyearbyen, a Norwegian city located just 1,300 kilometers from the North Pole, scientists are trying to figure out the impact the non-native fish species' appearance will have.
Professor Ole Arve Misund, once a fisherman and now marine91 biologist from the University Centre in Svalbard, is one of them.
"We are trying here to catch a Northeast Arctic Cod that we have seen on our echo-sounder. I had one just touching92 my gear now but it slipped away. So we know they are here, and they are coming because the water is warm enough for them to be here to feed."Within just five minutes, Misund quickly gets his first catch of the day, which would not have been the case a decade ago.
Northeast Arctic Cod is a predatory species and one of the largest cod stocks in the world. In recent years, an increasing proportion of the mature cod has been caught north of the traditional spawning93 area.
"The last three years, we have had them (Northeast Arctic Cod) every autumn. They were recorded here before to a varying degree, but because of the warmer waters in recent years, we now see them every season. The waters are heating, and they are now so warm - 3 to 4 degrees celsius96 - and it's possible for species that normally live further south to come all this way to feed."Warmer waters in the Arctic ocean, on one hand, help these fish grow faster. But on the other hand, it could make fish more prone97 to infection from sea lice and other diseases, while causing more severe storms.
Professor Misund says the northeast Arctic cod could destroy the hibitat of local fish as well as the Arctic's ecosystem.
"They are, of course, reducing the number of Polar Cod. They are eating them of course. But they are mainly feeding on krill and basic organisms. So of course they are making an impact on the other fauna98, but I mean - that's the way nature is."Unlike northeast Arctic cod, polar Cod exists in the region all year around, and is an important food source for seabirds, seals and whales.
The large reduction of its stock could harm the food chain, thus destroying the fragile balance of the ecosystem.
However, for local residents relying on planes to ship in fresh food, more cod in the fjord turns out to be a bonus.
Lars Frode Stangeland is a local skipper.
"The locals, of course they feel happy, they get cod and there is more and more fishing every year. So we get a lot of cod and haddock."The World Meteorological Organization has warned that the earth's wild weather this year is breaking annual temperature records due to man-made global warming.
As such, the international community is waiting to see whether global leaders can keep their promise of keeping global warming within 2 degrees Celsius above the pre-industrial level, at the forthcoming Paris Climate Conference.

Authorities in both Hong Kong and the mainland say they've "basically achieved" full liberalization of trade in services following the signing of a new pact this Friday morning.
CRI's Hong Kong correspondent Li Jing has the story.
Report:
Finance officials from both sides have signed the Agreement on Trade in Services under the framework of the Mainland and Hong Kong Closer Economic Partnership124 Arrangement.
A previous agreement the Special Administrative Region signed last year with neighboring Guangdong province will now be expanded to the entire country, which allows almost all local services to enjoy preferential treatment, such as legal, accounting125, banking126, telecommunications, culture and entertainment.
John Tsang is Hong Kong's Financial Secretary.
"In general, 153 sectors128 in the mainland have had fully or partially129 opened up to Hong Kong's services industry, accounting for 95.6% of all the World Trade Organization services trade sectors. In respect of the mode of "commercial presence", national treatment will be applied130 to Hong Kong in 62 sectors. The simplified measures will make it easier for Hong Kong companies to open up businesses in the mainland."At the same time, China's Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen has specified131 that any preferential treatment the mainland accords to other countries or regions would be extended to Hong Kong if it is more preferential than CEPA.
"The mainland has a huge market with great development in terms of service industry, while Hong Kong is very competitive in this regard. So the new agreement would put Hong Kong at an advantage."Hong Kong SAR deputy to the National People's Congress Prof. Priscilla Lau says it brings along great opportunities to Hong Kong professionals, especially in the financial sector127.
"93 percent of our GDP is in the service sector. If we want to strengthen our link with the mainland, it is necessary to have liberalization of the service sector. We have a lot of financial products in RMB. If we want to have RMB to go international, to become convertible132 and be accepted by international financial sector, it is important to expand our business within the mainland."She also mentions that Hong Kong could play a key role in raising capital, boosting trade and services to implement133 "One Belt, One Road" initiative put forward by the Central Government.
The new pact will be effective from June next year,CEPA was first signed in 2003, aiming to open up the mainland market to Hong Kong companies by removing tariffs134 and investment restrictions while promoting mutual135 recognition of professional qualifications.

While the equipment manufacturing sector expanded 8.6 percent and sectors related to consumption rose 4.3 percent.
The same set of data also shows state-owned industrial companies saw their profits plummet43 25 percent in the first 10 months.

EntertainmentMao Ning arrested for drug offencesChinese singer Mao Ning, was arrested this morning by Beijing police for drug offences, according to the Beijing News.
Further details of the arrest have not been revealed.
The mobile number of the singer's agent has been unobtainable since the news broke.
The 47-year-old performer was one of the hottest singers during the 90s in China.
He is best known for the song "Billows are as of old" and several love duets with the then popular female singer Yang Yuying.
Mao chose to quit while he was at the top of his singing career, but made a come-back in 2012 with a new album.
The case is the latest addition in a series of such incidents involving top entertainers in China this year.
Earlier this month, another singer Yin Xiangjie was also arrested for drug offences.
Matt Damon talks about "The Martian" in BeijingAs we heard in the show yesterday "The Martian", Hollywood science-fiction blockbuster, is now in Chinese theaters.
Leading actor Matt Damon has been talking more about his role in the movie in an interview in Beijing.
Damon said it is funny to play another role under similar circumstances, after playing an astronaut stranded155 alone on a foreign planet in "Interstellar".
"I think the character in Interstellar was pretty desperate, but yeah it's interesting they are both in the same situation. They handle it very differently. And the movies are very, very different obviously. But it was funny that I actually have two parts that I did back to back where the characters were in strikingly similar circumstances."Talking about film production, Damon said the movie stemmed from the idea of not giving up hope and elicits156 thinking about the value of life and sacrifice.
"You know, one of the reasons we wanted to make the movie was that very message and what is the value of one life, and what is the value of sacrifice for others. And it has got a wonderful message about that, I mean, what the rest of the crew sacrifices to come back and try to rescue Mark. It's a really great story about coming together and how nobody loses that hope".
The film has gained huge success at the box office since its release, pulling in over 487 million US dollars worldwide.
It has become director Ridley Scott's highest-grossing film to date.
'The Assassin' named best film of 2015 by BFIThe British Film Institute (BFI) have just announced international film magazine Sight and Sound's best films of 2015, and Hou Hsiao Hsien's "The Assassin" has come in at the top of the list.
The unconventional martial-arts film topped the poll that was voted for by 168 UK and international film critics.
Hou Hsiao-hsien picked up the best director award at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year for the film, and critical praise for it has as lavish157 as the film's gorgeous cinematography.
Set during the Tang Dynasty (AD618–907), it is perhaps the closest anyone has yet come to capturing something of the historical atmosphere of that ancient time on film.
Todd Haynes' film "Carol" came in at number two with two female leads played by Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett;George Miller's "Mad Max: Fury Road" in at the third spot, where Charlize Theron's character took the spotlight158 away from the titular159 Max.
Brit Awards: Jack160 Garratt wins Critics' Choice prizeMulti-instrumentalist Jack Garratt has been awarded the Brits 'Critics' Choice prize' for 2016.
