Top News59 missing as landslide hits south ChinaFifty-nine people remain missing following a landslide in Shenzhen.
Rescuers in the southern Chinese city say they have detected signs of life at several locations at the slide site and rescue work is ongoing4.
Yang Feng, director of Shenzhen's Emergency Management Office, says the missing people include 36 males and 23 females.
"More than 900 residents having been evacuated5. The seven people rescued from the landslide have been sent to hospitals; they do not have life-threatening injuries."The landslide struck an industrial park on Sunday, burying 33 buildings and leaving more than 100,000 square meters of debris6 at the site.
People working in the industrial park also reported seeing an explosion.
"The moment we got out of the workshop, the building collapsed7. When we got out, we saw an explosion from a nearby gas station."More than 1,500 people, including firemen, policemen, and medical staff, are involved in the rescue operation.
Zhang Xiaowei is the deputy chief of the Guangdong Fire Station.
"It is raining now, sometimes the rain is heavy, which makes the scene wet and muddy. Therefore, it increases the difficulty of the rescue work. We are now searching for survivors9. About 60,000 square meters of ground are buried in mud, involving 500,000 cubic meters of rock and soil."Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier10 Li Keqiang have urged immediate11 effort to minimize casualties.
The cause of the landslide is still being investigated.
However initial media reports suggest that the loosened soil was from construction works and had been piled nearby for years.
Heavy smog shrouds12 over 30 N China citiesChina's environmental authority has revealed that Beijing and over 30 cities in the north of the country are currently shrouded in heavy smog.
Beijing is in the third day of a red alert, the most serious level in the four-tier color-coded pollution warning system.
Local authorities have limited vehicles on roads and banned fireworks and outdoor barbecues.
The alert was issued on Friday, 24 hours before the severe air pollution hit the city.
Authorities say the move helps to reduce pollutants13 and gives the public an early warning to take counter-measures.
Zhu Lili, chief broadcaster with China National Environmental Monitoring Centre, explains how they developed their forecast before issuing the alert.
"Referring to the current list of sources of emissions14 and the real-time monitoring data collected from the internet, we simulate the future atmospheric15 conditions with high-performance computers and get the result for the future changes of pollutants density16."It's the second time for the Beijing to issue a red alert this month.
"Issuing a red alert doesn't mean the air quality worse than what we've seen before. We have revised the alert plan for severe air pollution, which largely reduces the threshold for issuing a red alert. The threshold where we issue a red alert is actually where we issued orange alerts years before. "Tianjin and some other cities issued orange alerts.
Environmental Protection authorities say smog is likely to linger until Tuesday and is expected to ease from Wednesday as cold air move southwards.
Schools and Parents Urge Government to Issue Regulation on Classroom Air Purifier InstallingAnchorAs schools in Beijing and other parts of northeastern China suspend classes because of the red alert over air pollution, many parents are demanding that air purifiers should be installed for the students.
CRI's Niu Honglin has details.
ReporterWith major pollution days becoming more frequent, students are staying home, often without supervision19. Their parents say it would be better if their children were in the classroom, and that's why schools need to install air purifiers.
"Our school bought air filters last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that.""We've already bought two air cleaners for the class, both of which are installed."The suggestions come as some parents say they received short notice from their child's school during the first red alert for air pollution, issued earlier this month.
Many parents say they were caught by surprise, especially working couples, giving them little time to figure out how to take care of their children during the day.
Some parents have donated purifiers to their kid's classroom, while others fund raise together to make the purchase.
However, making such a donation to a school doesn't always happen smoothly20, with some schools even returning the air purifiers to their well-intended donors21.
Liu Liangcheng is the vice-principal of Beijing's Taipinglu primary school, where each classroom has been installed with two air filters.
Liu says installing air cleaners bought by parents can lead to problems.
"We have refused air purifiers bought by parents before, as there is a clear and strict rule for education fees. We can't just break the rule here. And fixed22 asset management is also a relevant issue. Also, if we accept one parent's donation, there might be pressure on others who don't have the ability to do so."He adds that without a standard guidance from local authorities, the brand-choice of the purifier, installation, and even the security of the device can each be an issue.
Also, experts say air purifiers can introduce other unhealthy factors.
Deng Gaofeng, head of the low-carbon-building study office with the China Academy of Building Research, says regular air filtering may cause CO2 concentration to rise.
"Take the classroom we tested for instance. If we keep windows and doors closed during classes, the concentrations of CO2 in the classroom will double from 1000 PPM to some 2000 PPM, while according to safety standards, the highest index should not be more than 1500."She adds that a more advanced and more expansive fresh air system is a heather solution.
Back in July, Beijing Municipal Government said it is discussing the possibility of a unified23 classroom air purifier installation plan, but no actual regulation has been published as of yet.

Top Legislature to Review Family-Planning PolicyThe top legislature here in China is set to approve a revision to end the country's decades-old one-child policy.
A meeting of the Standing24 Committee of the National People's Congress, starting today, will last for a week.
The meeting is expected to finalize25 a timetable for implementation27 of the amended28 policy nationwide.
Lawmakers are also to review the Counter-Terrorism Law and the country's first law concerning traditional Chinese medicine.
China's one-child generation reports for dutyAnchorBorn after the 1980s, when China started to implement26 its one-child policy, the so-called one-child generation has often been labelled as self-centered and irresponsible.
Now, with the easing of the policy, many have started to worry that having two children may be too big a burden for themOur reporter Yao Yongmei takes a closer look.
ReporterThirty-year-old Wang Dongyu is a full-time30 housewife with a 3-year-old son. Both she and her husband are the only child of their family.
"Only children indeed have a longer psychological weaning period. They are used to being taken care of so even when they are 24 or 25, they still feel like a child. It is actually not much different even after having their own children. It is customary that it is once again the duty of the grandparents to take care of the new borns."One may wonder whether it is possible for this generation to handle two children as the central government officially ended its one-child policy earlier this year.
Wang Dongyu quit her job when she was expecting her son. Now she says she wants another child but will not give up her career again.
"I will not consider quitting my job if another child is coming. I may have to ask my parents to help me."However, Wang's mother Chen Hairong is not this confident.
"I think it is too much for them to face social competitions, look after the elderly and the next generation at the same time. It is compounded if the elderly have health problems. So of course we will help them."Theoretically there will be a 4-2-2 structure for each typical one-child family - four grandparents, the couple and their two children.
Thirty-year-old Wang Dongyu says she is worried about what to do when their parents get old.
"One day they will get sick and need particular care and we have our job and two children. It makes me nervous even thinking about it. I do not know the best answer at least for now."While her father Wang Xudong says it is not an issue at all.
"It used to the duty of the children to take care of the elderly. Now they have four or even more elders to care of as well as their own job. I believe there will not a problem, because a maturing social security system will take care of us. We have steady income so we will not put more burdens on them. And I feel completely OK to be sent to a nursing home if one day I need constant care. What they need to do is just some occasional visits. I think I will be content."It used to be a serious worry for some people that a slew31 of social problems will come out at this point. While, at least for now it seems to be unfounded - more and more one-child grown-ups are reporting for duty.
Bck AnchorThat is CRI's Yao Yongmei reporting.
China-South Korea FTA comes into forceThe new free trade agreement between China and South Korea has officially come into effect.
As part of the agreement, tariffs33 on more than 90 percent of goods traded between the two will be eliminated over the next 20-years.
Zhang Shaogang from the Ministry34 of Commerce says the FTA will definitely benefit Chinese consumers.
"Female consumers are given access to South Korean cosmetics35 with lower prices and better services. In terms of medical cooperation, more South Korean hospitals, especially plastic surgery hospitals, may open branches in China."South Korean analysis suggests the country's manufacturers are going to see their overall export growth increase by 1.35-billion U.S. dollars over the next 12-months.
Park Tae Ho with Seoul National University.
"Despite its impressive achievements, the South Korean economy only accounts for 1.8 percent of the global total. South Korea won't be able to lift its per capita income to 30,000 US dollars by relying on domestic market only. It should go global and exploit broader export markets. So it's a necessary choice for us to establish FTA."China is South Korea's largest trading partner, with South Korea importing around one-quarter of all of its products from China.
FTA to Boost Financial Exchanges Between China and AustraliaThe newly enacted36 China-Australia Free Trade Agreement is expected to boost bilateral37 financial exchanges and cooperation.
With the financial sector38 a major focus of the agreement, the two sides will further joint39 efforts in banking40 and securities, and against money laundering41.
Australia also plans to reduce the operating costs for Chinese banks to open branches there.
President of Bank of China in Sydney Hu Shanjun says it will be much easier for Chinese banks to establish their presence in Australia.
"In that past, it was difficult for foreign financial institutions to launch businesses here. They need to first launch representative offices, and then upgrade them into branches. Now Australia says it welcomes foreign banks, and the process will likely be shortened. Well-known Chinese banks looking to open branches in Australia can now do so directly. "The two sides have also agreed to loosen the formalities for approving investments, benefiting Chinese private enterprises looking to invest in Australia.
Chinese investment in Australia stood at around 75 billion U.S. dollars as of the end of 2014.
Chinese drone maker29 SZ DJI opens first retail42 storeAnchorThe world's largest consumer drone maker - DJI - has opened its first flagship retail store in Shenzhen, southern China.
With the move, the company looks to further extend its hold on the global drone market.
Our reporter Luo Bin with more.
ReporterAs the market for commercial drones goes more mainstream43, the industry's major players are trying to attract a wider range of consumers.
Michael Perry, Director of Strategic Partnerships45 with DJI, says the 800-square-metre shop aims to help the Chinese firm expand its customer base.
"We've now reached a size where we think we can reach a broader set of consumers, beyond the early adopters, beyond the tech guys who are just adopting new technology, but to a broader consumer market, who are really excited about the technology but they want to understand it before they use it."On Sunday, people surrounded a flight cage inside the store and watched as staff flew drones during demonstration46 sessions.
One spectator, 36-year-old airline crew member Liu Shaoge, brought his seven-month-old son along.
He says drones are good toys for children.
"I think this is quite good. When my child is older, I'll buy one for him so he can play with it. This is good. We didn't have things like these when we were children. It will be good for children to play with them."Others queued to buy a drone on the shop's opening day as the first 300 customers could get discounts up to 30 percent off.
30-year-old IT consultant47 Jack48 Wan17, who was in line for about two hours before he bought a Phantom49 3 drone, says the drone is complimentary50 to his hobby - photography.
"DJI gives common people a chance to play with drones. In the past, using a drone was something exclusive, the idea seemed very far away from us. But now it's very close. And normal people can afford to buy one too."DJI has claimed 70 percent of the commercial drone market worldwide and a larger portion of the consumer market.
Research firm Taibo Intelligence forecasts that revenue of the Chinese drone industry will more than double to 2.5 billion yuan, or 388 million USD, this year and grow by as much as eight fold to 20 billion yuan by 2020.

Chinese Emperors' Residence in Beijing to be RestoredA major building at Beijing's Palace Museum, or Forbidden City, is going to be renovated51 based on traditional construction techniques.
The Hall of Mental Cultivation52, or Yangxindian, built in 1537, was the residence of the last eight Qing Dynasty emperors.
The hall has not been restored since the early 1980s,Fang Qiu is the director of the Ancient Architecture Department of the Palace Museum"We need to do a number of studies and research in the early stage of the renovation53. The first part is to map and position the existing cultural relics54 to provide the best proofs for the recovery of the original appearance. That is one of the major differences from other restoration projects of ancient buildings,"The restoration is expected to be completed by 2020 to mark the 600th anniversary of the Forbidden City.
UN-backed cease-fire to be extended in Yemen: ministerYemen's Saudi-backed government has announced that the country's shaky seven-day ceasefire will be extended for another week, on the condition that the Shiite Houthi group and its allies commit to the truce55.
The country's newly-appointed foreign minister, Abul-Malik Almekhafi, made the announcement in Switzerland on Sunday.
He's in Europe as head of the government delegation56 for peace talks to end the conflict in Yemen.
Both sides had promised to respect a UN-backed ceasefire that coincided with the current round of bargaining, which began on December 15th. Several violations58 of the truce have been reported.
Meanwhile, a new round of peace talks between the country's warring factions59 has been scheduled for 14 January.
Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed also said talks between pro-government fighters and Shiite rebels had resulted in a host of measures.
"In particular during the talks, the parties agreed to first develop a package of confidence-building measures including a plan for the release of prisoners, which will include the release of all detainees and prisoners once a permanent ceasefire is in place. "UN-brokered consultations61 started last Tuesday in Switzerland.
The violence in Yemen began in September of last year after Houthi rebels overran the capital and the government fled.
WTO Nairobi meeting ends with major breakthrough on global tradeAnchorThe 10th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization has concluded in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi.
Member countries agreed to abolish agricultural export subsidies63 and also approved the accession of Liberia and Afghanistan into the WTO.
CRI's Fei Fei with more.
AnchorAfter five days of intense discussions, the 162 WTO member countries reached a breakthrough agreement for the world trade system.
The new Nairobi Declaration includes the elimination64 of agricultural export subsidies and further tariff32 reduction for information and technology products.
WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo hails the historic result of the conference.
"The decision you have taken today on export competition is truly historic. It is WTO's most significant outcome in agriculture. The elimination of agriculture subsidies, export subsidies are spectacularly significant."According to the declaration, developed nations will eliminate their scheduled farm export subsidies immediately, while developing countries will get rid of theirs from 2018.
Wang Shouwen, a deputy minister from China's Ministry of Commerce, says farm export subsidies have been a prime focus for developing countries.
"It is unfair because developed countries are financially capable of providing subsidies for farm products. But, as for developing countries, they can't get subsidies as their agriculture sectors65 are relatively66 small. So this deal has significant meanings for free agriculture trade, and, particularly, for farmers' income and the growth of agriculture in developing countries."US trade representative Michael Froman also said the deal would "put an end to some of the most trade distorting subsidies" and "help level the playing field for American farmers and ranchers".
The ministers also endorsed67 the Information Technology Agreement, which expands the range of information technology products for tariff cuts.
The import duties on some 200 high-tech68 products will be cut over the next 7 years,Their annual trade is estimated at 1.3 billion U.S. dollars, taking 8 percent of the total world trade volume.
"They include medical and IT products that are quite high-tech. Once their tariffs are cut, consumers can enjoy lower prices and investors70 would be more willing to put in their money in these products."During the conference that kicked off Tuesday, Afghanistan and Liberia were also approved to join the WTO.
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the founding of WTO, and also the first ministerial meeting held on the African continent.
For CRI, this is Fei Fei.
Spanish Election Polls CloseIn Spain, the Popular Party says it has received "strong support" from voters, but exit polls indicate the governing conservatives will fall short of an absolute majority in parliament.
Pablo Casado is the party's spokesman.
"Everything so far is pointing to the Popular's Party having won the election, and having been a party that has evidently received strong support from citizens, after a fairly difficult term in office. The election campaign has got better as it's gone on, I think the prime minister has run a campaign looking to the future, positive, optimistic, making proposals, not entering into negative campaigning and insults, and that has been appreciated."Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and his party are expected to win around 120 seats in the 350-strong parliament, nearly 60 seats short of the 176 needed for an absolute majority.
Hundreds in India Protest Release of Gang Rape73 ConvictHundreds of protesters have taken to the streets of New Delhi, India's capital, to protest the release of a juvenile74 convicted in the fatal gang rape of a young woman in 2012.
The freed man, who was 17 at the time of the crime, finished his three-year term in a reform home on Sunday.
Protesters demanded the man remain in prison longer. But under Indian law, regardless of the crime, convicts under the age of 18 can be imprisoned75 for a maximum of three years.
Badri Singh, father of the rape victim, is among the protesters:
"Today, that juvenile has been released and now, whatever you do, he cannot be imprisoned again and I still demand he should not be released and if he has been already released he should be arrested again and the law (law relating to the age of juvenile suspects and convicts) should be changed as soon as possible."The rape and murder of 23-year-old student Jyoti Singh on a bus in 2012 shocked the country and triggered global outrage76.
In response, India's government rushed through legislation doubling prison terms for rapists to 20 years and criminalizing related crimes.
The case also ignited a debate about whether minors77 who commit especially horrific crimes should be tried as adults.
New legislation to lower the age for young people to be tried as adults from 18 to 16 is currently stuck in India's Parliament.

The lucky ones will then work under the tutelage of renowned103 directors to produce their own big screen works.
He shares his thoughts on filmmaking and the project at the launching ceremony.
"Only now, with the film I'm producing, did I realize that I have just begun to get a touch for filmmaking. I have realized that the criteria105 for making films are very high. So young directors do need some support."The application period runs until January 20th next year.
All Chinese citizens aged106 between 18 and 38 with no more than two works shown in theatres are qualified107 for the programme.
Thirty individuals will be selected to attend a series of training sessions, with five finalists eventually receiving one-on-one guidance from veteran directors.
China's film market has been booming in recent years.
The Chinese box office has already surpassed the 40 billion yuan mark this year and an increasing number of bigger titles are still coming to cinemas.
Stars attend red carpet premiere of 'Mr. Six'
Stars have walked the red carpet for the premiere of Chinese film "Mr. Six" in Beijing.
Feng Xiaogang, who won the "Best Actor" award at the Golden Horse Film Festival a month ago, was joined by director Guan Hu, actress Xu Qing, and actors Wu Yifan and Li Yefeng.
"Today's premiere makes me think about the premieres I attended for my former movies. It has been two years since I directed movies. This time, I'm very honored to play in 'Mr. Six,' directed by Guan Hu. I really appreciate this experience and this premiere."The film is a modern tale of Mr Six, a middle aged former kingpin who reigned108 over the Beijing streets for years.
As he lives in a world that is bound to be destroyed by modernity, the film portrays109 the battle between him and a much younger drag-racing street gang leader, played by Wu Yifan.
Wu said the most challenging part of making the film for him was the pressure of acting with Feng.
"Actually, this kind of stubborn and honest person exist in all walks of life, but I think the perfect person to play Mr. Six is Feng Xiaogang. In terms of life experience and temperament110, director Feng is the perfect person to play Mr. Six.""Mr Six" is set to hit Chinese theaters on December 24th.
New 'Star Wars' has biggest North American film debut111 of all time"Star Wars: The Force Awakens112" has opened to the strongest North American debut of all time.
Revenue from the opening weekend is nearly 240 million dollars, beating the previous record holder90, Jurassic World, by about 30 million.
Internationally, the film grossed 517 million dollar and is second to Jurassic World, which had a global total of 525 million following its first weekend of release earlier this year.
"The Force Awakens" drew enormous pre-sales and the film was kept under lockdown from the press and critics until mere114 days before it was released to the public.
Reviews turned out to be stellar as did early audience reaction, who gave the film an A CinemaScore.
