Four hours into the race there were still plenty runners on the street, and the crowds were dense. Television picture showed smoke billowing up from among the flags lining the route. One runner collapsed apparently struck by an object seconds later as terrified onlookers tried to get away. Picture showed another plume of smoke rising from the second blast down the road.Emergency workers immediately began tearing at the pavement barriers and flag poles to get the wounded behind. There were clearly many injured people. Injured spectators were carried to the nearby medical tents set up to look after exhausted runners.
爆炸发生在波士顿中心Boylston街道马拉松比赛终点线附近，两起爆炸相隔几秒钟。比赛已经进行了四个小时的时间，街道上仍然有许多选手，人群非常密集。电视画面显示，道路两旁的彩旗中突然浓烟翻腾。几秒钟后，当惊慌失措的观众试图逃离现场时，一名运动员很明显受到物体撞击而倒地。画面显示，这条道路不远处第二个爆炸地点又燃起浓烟。急救工作人员立即撕开人行道栅栏和旗杆，救治伤者。很明显爆炸造成多人受伤。受伤的旁观者被带到附近用于照料疲惫的运动员的医疗帐篷。
Some news just in. Boston police said the explosions at the finishing line of the city's marathon were almost simultaneous.They say no further explosive devices have been found so far near the finish line, but the investigation is ongoing. The Boston police commissioner Edward Davis told the news conference that there had been a third explosion. "We have, at this point of time, determined that there has been a third incident that has occurred. There was an explosion that occurred at the JFK library. So this is very much an ongoing event of this point time. We are not certain that these incidents are related, but we are treating them as if they are." Police in Boston have urged the residents of the city to stay indoors and not to congregate in large groups.

The opposition leader in Venezuela Henrique Capriles has called on the national electoral council not to proclaim the victory of acting president Nicolas Maduro until all votes have been recounted. Mr. Capriles said even Mr. Maduro had agreed to a recount on Sunday. From Caracas here's Will Grant.
委内瑞拉反对派领袖卡普里莱斯(Henrique Capriles)要求全国选举委员会不要宣布代理总统马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)获胜，直到对所有选票进行重新统计。卡普里莱斯表示，甚至马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)也同意进行重新计票。Will Grant在加拉加斯报道。
The fallout from Venezuela's disputed presidential election continues apace. On state television, the government is pushing their arguments hard that Nicolas Maduro is the legitimate president of Venezuela, having won by a narrow but significant margin. While they've agreed to an audit of the electronic counting system, the government is rejecting calls that ballot boxes be opened for a manual recount. Meanwhile, the temperature is rising by the hour. Opposition groups are also due to march possibly on the national electoral council itself, while the government has called on its supporters to turn out in the central square in Caracas to celebrate Mr. Maduro’s win.
委内瑞拉有争议的总统选举余波仍然继续。在国家电视台，政府激烈争辩马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)是委内瑞拉合法总统，以少数但是极为重要的优势获胜。尽管同意对选举计票系统进行审计，他们却拒绝打开投票箱进行手动重新计票的要求。同时，双方的争吵也逐渐升温。反对派组织也可能在全国选举委员会举行游行活动，政府也要求其支持者在加拉加斯中心广场聚集，庆祝马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)的胜利。
And some news just in. The election board in Venezuela has formally proclaimed Nicolas Maduro as the winner of the presidential vote despite the calls by the opposition for a recount to be held.
刚刚收到的新闻。尽管反对派呼吁重新计票，委内瑞拉选举委员会已经正式宣布马杜罗(Nicolas Maduro)为总统选举的获胜者。

international cooperation government portfolios at the same time. He was then in charge of 1/3 of the state expenditure. The

Judges in the United States Supreme Court have been debating tough legal and scientific questions on whether human genes
should continue to be patented. Their decision which's expected in the summer could have enormous implications for research.
The nine justices are looking at the right of one company Myriad Genetics to hold the patent on a genetic test for breast and
ovarian cancer. Opponents say these patents prevent research by other companies and denied patients' access to the test which
cost more than $3000.
