11月23日CNN聽力：ISIS在掌握國土實行虐政 國際空間站15歲代價受質疑
Hi.I'm Carl Azuz.
We're glad you're watching CNN STUDENT NEWS, 10minutes of current events spanning the globe.
First up this Friday, November 20th, Frenchauthorities say the suspected mastermind of lastweek's terrorist attacks in Paris is dead.
Abdelhamid Abaaoud was killed in a police raidWednesday at a Paris apartment.
Abaaoud had been linked to several foiled terrorist plots before last week's attacks were carried.
Police say a wiretap picked up phone conversations that led them to the apartment.
They believe Abaaoud's cousin was there.
She was a suicide bomber who also died in the raid.
The ISIS terrorist group has said it was responsible for the attacks that killed 129 people.
Since then, it's threatened other cities around the world and securities have been increased inmany places.
President Obama, who's been criticized for his strategy in dealing with ISIS, says defeatingthe terrorist is going to be a multi-year task and that one thing that will be necessary is apolitical settlement to the civil war in Syria.
The instability there has helped ISIS seized power in large parts of the country.
ISIS's organization has not only helped it raised or steal millions of dollars as we reported earlierthis week, it's also contributed to the network's strong grip on the areas it controls.
ISIS sees itself as a state, a government.
Its ambition:to be an Islamic caliphate that claims sovereignty over the world's Muslimcommunities.
So, how does ISIS govern the territory it controls?
It picks up the garbage, runs schools and patrols the traffic.
This is an area larger than many countries and ISIS has divided the territory into Wilayats orprovinces, each of which has a governor.
Several new provinces had been created, virtually erasing the Syria/Iraq border.
At the top of the government is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the self- declared caliph of ISIS.
He has the sort of cabinet, the Shura Council, and beneath that, about 10 ministries orcouncils that maintain everything from health, education and religious rulings, totransportation and even environmental policy.
Despite its medieval sense of justice, in many ways, ISIS runs a surprisingly modernbureaucracy, according to terror analyst.
The health department has fully operational hospitals, complete with maternity wards, babiesare delivered daily, registered and issued with official ISIS birth certificates.
It also runs a vaccination campaign, with health workers on motorcycles, delivering poliovaccine drops and shots to protect against measles, mumps and rubella.
It also has a court system that runs its strict interpretation of Sharia or Islamic law.
Theft, for example, is punishable by chopping off the hand.
But it also handles everything from traffic violations to rental disputes.
The education department runs several schools, and even the university in Mosul.
Girls receive an education, though segregated from boys.
And the curriculum is severely limited, no art, music, or theater, no psychical education orphilosophy—just reading, writing, math and, of course, religion according to ISIS.
Any teacher hoping to work must undergo ISIS official Sharia training.
In many places, ISIS has simply taken over the civil infrastructure already in place, particularly inwar-torn Syria.
ISIS hopes to prove it is bringing order to chaos, however violent its rule.
The U.S. Congress is debating whether more Syrian and Iraqi refugees should be allowed intoAmerica.
The Obama administration plans to accept an additional 10,000 Syrian refugees next year.
But yesterday, the House of Representatives passed a bill that would stop those plans untilU.S. national security agencies could guarantee the refugees don't pose a threat.
This week, France's prime minister said that some of the Paris terrorists took advantage ofthe European refugee crisis to slip into France.
Many Americans are concerned the same thing could happen in the U.S.
The government says its current screening process would prevent that.
President Obama has threatened to veto any legislation that would stop his plans to admitadditional refugees.
But 47 Democrats joined 242 Republicans in voting for the House bill.
That means the House could potentially override a presidential veto.
The bill goes to the U.S. Senate next.
Some Senate Democrats say they'll try to block it and effectively keep the House's plans inplace.
The Green Mountain State is where we're starting today's call of the roll.
It's Vermont and it's in the town of Craftsbury, the home of the Chargers where we're happy tosee Craftsbury Academy this Friday.
To the Midwest now and the city of Burrton, Kansas.
We've got some Chargers there, too, at Burrton High School.
And in the French capital, thank you for including us at Ecole Privee Cours Moliere.
Hello to our viewers in Paris.
It's larger than a football field.
It floats over us at almost 5 miles per second, and it just celebrated its 15th birthday.
Its completion alone was considered a tremendous accomplishment.
But is the International Space Station worth its costs?
Critics say it hasn't really led to any earth-changing discoveries in science and that what it hashelped do hasn't been worth what's been spent on the station.
Supporters argue that a lot of its value is in what lies ahead.
It's the most expensive object ever built, costing over $100 billion.
And it's a true marvel of engineering.
People have been living on it now for 15 years.
