  9月29日CNN聽力:奧巴馬將同普京在結合國大會上舉行見面


  Back from the weekend, and happy to have youwatching.

  I'm Carl Azuz for CNN STUDENT NEWS.

  First up, an international agreement.

  We've told you how Russia's been increasing its rolein Syria's civil war.

  It appears to be sending weapons and troops toSyria, to help that country's government fight off rebels and the ISIS terrorist group.

  That concerns the U.S.

  Even though America is leading airstrikes against ISIS, it does not support Syria's currentgovernment.

  In fact, it wants that leadership out.

  Well, a deal to share intelligence about the ISIS terrorist group was announced this weekendbetween Iraq, Russia, Iran and Syria.

  It leaves the U.S. out, and analysts say that's significant because it complicates U.S. influence inthe Middle East, at a time when Russia's influence appears to be increasing.

  It's sure to come up when President Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin meet today inNew York.

  They're both there for a forum that involves officials from 193 countries, the United NationsGeneral Assembly.

  The U.N. is an international organization established in 1945 after World War II.

  Its headquarters are in New York.

  Its mission includes maintaining peace between countries and promoting better standards ofliving worldwide.

  The U.N. General Assembly is held every year and involves all U.N. member countries.

  They discuss and decide issues regarding security, membership and budget.

  The United Nations General Assembly is celebrating its 70th anniversary with no shortage ofissues on the agenda.

  Leaders from more than 160 countries will be in attendance, but here's five speakers youshould definitely tune into during the general debate:

  President Obama is going to be the second speaker at the podium, ahead of political rivalsVladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Hassan Rouhani.

  White House aides say the president of the United States will focus heavily on climate change,with a do or die summit coming up in December.

  The president will also again question Russia's intervention in Eastern Ukraine and increasedpresence by Moscow in Syria.
