Канал так и называется - "Россия сегодня". О наших коллегах - репортаж Олега Шишкина. О России сегодня - каждый час и каждую минуту.
Между выпусками новостей - интервью в прямом эфире, спортивные и биржевые сводки. Идея англоязычного российского телевизионного канала появилась, когда стало ясно, что зарубежный зритель или вообще ничего не знает о событиях в современной России, или знает очень мало. Новости из России и о России.
Из сегодняшнего выпуска новостей зарубежные телезрители могли узнать о переговорах между Газпромом и Минском о цене на газ, о том, погода в декабре выдалась необычно теплой и как москвичи собираются встречать Новый год.

However much fun you had conceiving it, the end product is entirely new, entirely itself, and not always entirely happy. Jung Chang I had brought eight international writers together under the heading Migrations of the Mind to explore the challenges of taking stories between cultures.
Each writer exemplified the problems of a world increasingly built out of small and mobile communities. Yet as soon as they were put together on stage at the ICA, most of the participants fiercely refused to define themselves either culturally or nationally. Whether Chinese or Turkish, Moroccan or Northern Irish, they saw themselves purely as writers, compelled to tell certain stories not because they were representatives of their communities, but because they were compelled to write, full stop. One by one they queued up to challenge the premise of my event — but in doing so they brought out a quite different, and far more interesting problem.

There have been signs that some European leaders are reluctant to take the present British offer seriously, and it is widely felt in Whitehall that Mr. The pamphlet claims that on balance farmers would be better off if Britain joined the Common Market. In addition, says the Union, the pamphlet fails to mention horticulture, which constitutes an important part of British agriculture, and which is likely to be badly hit in the event of a link-up with the Common Market. The officials said that in their view the pamphlet tended to over-emphasize the benefits of joining the EEC, and to leave out of account many genuine difficulties. Выпуск Новостей Тридцать пять машин столкнулось сегодня утром в большой аварии на дороге Ml. Происшествие случилось примерно в трех милях южнее сервисного центра Ньюпорт Пэгнель, когда грузовик с прицепом, груженный стальными прутьями, завалился на бок и перевернулся. Многие водители грузовиков и автомобилей не смогли вовремя увернуться и врезались в перевернутое транспортное средство, вызвав большое нагромождение машин.
Некоторые стальные прутья сорвались с грузовика через разделительную полосу на южную полосу дороги, которая была закрыта для одностороннего движения из-за ремонта и смены покрытия, что привело к ряду мелких аварий. Поврежденные машины и машины скорой помощи имели значительные трудности из-за тумана при прибытии на место аварии. На месте было очень тесно, и мигающие сигнальные были включены большую часть ночи. Пока не поступало сообщений о сколько-нибудь серьезно пострадавших в аварии. Это происшествие, четвертое по числу столкнувшихся транспортных средств за последний месяц, произошло как раз накануне первой Национальной Конференции по использованию дорог. На церемонии открытия прошлым вечером в Лондоне сэр Джон Стоун, советник по дорожному движению области Метрополитэн, раскритиковал стандарты дорожного движения страны.
The Independent отличает легкий стиль изложения, увлекательный раздел LifeStyle и все материалы доступны бесплатно и без регистрации. Минус — статьи ориентированы на читателей, живущих в Великобритании. Обе газеты предлагают приложения, а The Independent даже два — ежедневное и еженедельное. The Daily Mail Популярные британские таблоиды еще называют чтивом домохозяек. Слоган одного из них — News, sport, celebrities and gossip — точно отражает суть таких газет. Не стоит искать там серьезных новостей, аналитики и статей об искусстве. Что там есть, так это легкий и живой язык с многочисленными фразеологизмами и даже сленгом, подробности скандалов из мира политики и шоу-бизнеса, слухи из жизни британской королевской семьи.
Минусы — всплывающие периодически шокирующие снимки жертв преступлений, жутких болячек или людей-мутантов из индийских деревень. Плюсы — понятное изложение и полностью бесплатный контент, включая приложения. Есть даже раздел о России. Все статьи — довольно объемные и перенасыщены фотографиями, видео и виджетами соцсетей, но каждую предваряет анонс из списка коротких и понятных фраз, описывающих суть и самые эффектные факты материала. Euronews О событиях в странах Евросоюза можно почитать на сайте телеканала Euronews. Статьи и видеосюжеты рассортированы по традиционным новостным разделам Europe, World, Business, Sport, Culture. Под видеосюжетами есть расшифровки.
У немецкой радиостанции Deuche Welle есть сайт на английском языке. В проект Locals входят 9 англоязычных сайтов, каждый из которых освещает события в соответствующей европейской стране. Если интересует конкретная страна, то можно пойти в Википедию, найти раздел СМИ страна и выбрать из списка газет и изданий то, которое больше понравится. Например, для Ирландии эта страничка выглядит вот так. А если при чтении зарубежных газет будет не хватать новостей о России, загляните на англоязычные версии российских СМИ. Небольшой минус — большинство статей написаны не носителями языка, а представляют собой перевод с русского. Но это не значит, что такие статьи не интересны изучающим английский — есть чему поучиться.

On Dec. The year in the courtsAs always, local courts were the scene for some of the most newsworthy events all year. One of the highest profile cases in years reached a conclusion in mid-July, when a federal judge sided with local police officers in a civil suit stemming from a botched meth raid carried out in a Frisco condo in 2004. The case, brought by former Frisco residents Kathryn Rhodes and Joshua Brudwick, asserted various search and seizure violations, false imprisonment, invasion of privacy, and other charges. But the judge in the case decided law enforcement acted properly, despite cops finding no conclusive evidence of methamphetamine in the condominium. The 2002 beating death of Cody Weiland was still making news in local courts in 2006, as two of the people convicted in the crime won adjustments to their sentences. Robbins will be either be re-sentenced or face a trial sometime in 2007. Referenda and local questions dominate November election ballotThe ballot local voters interfaced with on Election Day this year was notable mostly for the number of specific questions they were asked to decide. The Colorado state election ballot was the longest and most involved in history. Aside from state questions dealing with gay marriage, immigration law, campaign finance, the minimum wage, as well as decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, Summit County voters faced a number of critical questions. The vote triggers the establishment of a new multi-jurisdictional housing authority that encompasses the entire county. In Frisco, voters rejected the chance to land a consolidated campus of Colorado Mountain College on a small corner of the Frisco Peninsula Recreation Area. The vote was 55 percent to 45 percent opposed to the plan, and CMC afterward said they would pursue a new non-consolidated campus in nearby Breckenridge.

One saw far too much dangerous pulling-out without an adequate signal having been given, and there was a similarly dangerous tendency for drivers to cut in after overtaking. Perhaps the commonest form of misuse however, was the reluctance of drivers of private cars to move into the inside lane whenever it was possible to do so. Sir John said that far too many were determined to stay in the middle or even the outside lanes, regardless of traffic conditions, with the result that drivers wishing to overtake became impatient and tried to follow too closely behind the vehicle in front, thus making accidents more likely. The conference is continuing. Now, the Common Market negotiations. Geoffrey Rippon, the chief negotiator, flew to Brussels last night. Britain has put forward the suggestion that a reasonable contribution would be thirteen to fifteen per cent, built up in a series of equal yearly steps over a period of five years.
But the Council of Ministers is considering a recommendation that the British share should be twenty one point five per cent throughout the five year period of transition, or, alternatively, a contribution of between ten and fifteen per cent in the first year rising to between twenty and twenty five per cent in the fifth year.
