Paris attacks: France calls on EU to 'wake up' to threat 2015-11-20 French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve has said European countries must "wake up" to terror threats, following the attacks in Paris that left 129 people dead. He spoke after it emerged that the suspected Belgian ringleader of the attacks had entered France undetected. Belgian PM Charles Michel has defended Belgium's security services amid claims the attacks were organised there. It comes as EU interior ministers are due to hold emergency talks. The meeting in Brussels is expected to tighten checks at the external borders of the EU's passport-free Schengen area. Key questions remain after attacks On Thursday, French prosecutors confirmed that Islamic State (IS) militant AbdelhamidAbaaoud was among those killed in a police raid the previous day. His bullet-riddled body was found in the wreckage of a flat in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. Investigators had identified him as the most likely organiser of last Friday's attacks, but it was initially thought he was in Syria. At a news conference, Mr Cazeneuve said "no information" had been received from other European countries about his arrival on the continent. But he said he had received intelligence that Abaaoud had passed through Greece on his return from Syria. "It is urgent that Europe wakes up, organises itself and defends itself against the terrorist threat," Mr Cazeneuve told reporters. French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said some of those involved in the attacks had taken advantage of the migration crisis in Europe - which has seen thousands of asylum seekers arrive on the continent - to "slip into" France unnoticed.

BBC news with Iain Purdon. Iain Purdon为你播报BBC新闻。 The US Anti-Doping Agency has accused the cyclist Lance Armstrong of cheating his way to the top through the most sophisticated and professional doping programme ever seen in sport. Its new report includes testimony from eleven named team-mates of Armstrong, who won the Tou r de France cycle race seven times. His lawyer has described the report as a one-sided hatchet job. More from our sports news reporter Alex Capstick. 美国反兴奋剂机构指责自行车选手兰斯·阿姆斯特朗在比赛中作弊，这是体育界目前出现的最高端最专业的兴奋剂丑闻。阿姆斯特朗曾七次赢得环法自行车赛，最近报告包括根据他的11名公开姓名队友的证词。他的律师说这是单方面的诽谤，体育记者亚历克斯·卡普斯蒂克报道。 In a statement it said there was conclusive and undeniable proof of a doping conspiracy at the team with whom he had most of his success. Twenty-six people, including 15 riders with the knowledge of the drug taking regime at the US Postal Service team, have testified against him; among them, some of his closest confidants. It said the material which also contains documentary evidence illustrated how the team was design to groom and pressure athletes to use dangerous performance-enhancing substances. Lance Armstrong refused to contest the charges against him, but has consistently denied any wrongdoing. 声明称这是一份阿姆斯特朗团队全面又无可否认的兴奋剂阴谋证据，他的大部分成功都是在这个队里取得的。包括了解兴奋剂内幕的美国邮政自行车队15名骑手在内的26人都指证他，其中一些人还是他的密友。报告称材料中还有书面证明，表明该队培训并迫使运动员使用危险的可提高成绩的药物。兰斯·阿姆斯特朗拒绝对指控进行上诉，但却一直否认犯罪。 Turkish fighter jets have forced a Syrian passenger plane to land.

BBC news 2014-05-07--------- Police in the Philippines have arrested 58 people involved in an Internet extortion network. They are accused of posting fake profiles to social network sites, luring mostly elderly men into exposing themselves in video chats which then filmed and used to blackmail them for money. Basically what's been going on here is that criminals have now taken advantage of technology and in particularly, social networking site where they are creating multiple fake profiles to befriend as many people as possible. And the aim was of this is to encourage the person that befriended into having sex over the Internet in front of the webcam and unknown to the person this is filmed and recorded it. And then she used a blackmail further on. Many of these firms are so well-organized like a traditional business with the staff that they have got. So they really are very well-organized. And it enables them to commit crime all over the world rather than traditionally where they may have been confined to their own country. And these are mostly men, it seems, to think they are striking up kind of interval relationship over the Internet with a woman. It turns out that they are not. What kind of money is extorted from them? It varies anything from a few hundred pounds through to few thousand dollars. And it's whatever they think that they can afford. It's very similar and very specialized to some of the other form we've seen in particular countries, some countries where teams have got together and they are specialized in skimming cards. Others have specialized in other types of fraud. I guess it's possibly also the fact that Philippines does well in tourist from westernized countries to the Philippines. The US Secretary of States John Kerry says the South Sudan President Salva Kiir has agreed to peace talks aimed at ending the conflict there. Mr. Kerry was speaking after the talks with the president in the capital Juba. I've told President Kiir that the choices that both he and the opposition face are stark and clear and that the unspeakable human costs that we have seen over the course of last month and which could even grow if they fail to sit down are unacceptable to the global community.

心痛与身痛,孰更痛? You've broken up with your girlfriend or boyfriend, your wife or husband has left you and you feel rejected, dejected, broken-hearted. Well, new research suggests that intense feelings of rejection are as hurtful as physical pain. The lead author of the study Ethan Kross said the reason is because the same regions of the brain that become active in response to painful sensory experiences are also activated during intense experiences of social rejection. The researchers hope their findings will offer new insigh t into how the experience of intense social loss may lead to various physical pain symptoms and disorders. They also confirmed the notion the people from different cultures all around the world use the same language, words like "hurt" and "pain", to describe the experience of both physical pain and social rejection.
