英国新闻听力 美国罕见发全球旅行警告

The Belgium Prime Minister Charles Michel has said the state of alert will remain at the highest level in the Brussels area for at least another week. He said the threat of an attack like the one in Paris ten days ago remained "serious and imminent¹". From Brussels, here's Alex Foseth. It will remain the status quo in so much as schools will remain closed, the metro² will remain closed, some public buildings. The advice for people still is to avoid crowded spaces. The Prime Minister was talking about trying to minimize the risk of big events by canceling those. There is still a very tense, nervous atmosphere continuing. And I think, as a consequence, we can expect to see the security services still out on the streets. There is a very heavy presence here of armed forces, of police. And it is disrupting obviously day to day life. The Belgian authorities also say they have charged a fourth suspect with terrorism related activities, but Salah Abdeslam who is thought to have been involved in the Paris attacks is still at large.

French police are analyzing³ what may be a suicide belt which has been found by rubbish collectors in the southern Parisian suburb of Montrouge. It is being examined to see If it could be worn by Salah Abdeslam. From Paris, here's Hughes Goldfield. French media quoting sources close to the investigation⁴ said that on superficial inspection⁵, it looks like the devices worn by the Paris attackers. If it does turn out to be a suicide belt, then it could provide an important clue to the movements of Salah Abdeslam on the night of the attacks. He was intending to blow himself up too but decided⁶ against it. Phone tracers put him late that evening close to where the belt was found.

A Pentagon spokesman said leaflet had once again been dropped warning drivers to leave their vehicles before the bombing and he said that there had been no reports of civilian¹⁰ casualties.

The United States has issued a worldwide travel alert warning American citizens of increased terrorist threats.

Scientists in California have inserted malaria¹³ blocking genes¹⁵ into the DNA¹⁶ of mosquitoes. The technique raises the hope of creating populations of the insect that are unable to transmit the deadly disease to humans. Mosquitoes are showing increasing drug resistance. Ben Roy reports. The researchers experimented with the DNA of a type of mosquito found in India. Dr Anthony James and his team show that they can give the insect new DNA code to make it a poor host for the malaria parasite¹⁷. After a pair of genetically¹⁸ modified parent mosquitoes mated, their offspring inherited the same resistant¹⁹ gene¹⁴. The trait was passed on to almost 100 percent of the offspring of treated mosquitoes.
