11月24日CNN聽力：比利時都城布魯塞爾拉響最高警報 防備恐懼威逼
Great to see you this Monday, November 23rd.
I'm Carl Azuz for CNN STUDET NEWS.
First up, Mali.
It's a republic in West Africa, population about 17million.
They're under a state of emergency and observingthree days of national mourning, following a terroristattack in the capital of Bamako.
The United Nations says two or three attackers entered a hotel there on Friday, and startedshooting.
By the time international police forces have blocked off the area and rush in, ending the attack,at least 22 people had been killed.
This terrorist act was not blamed on the ISIS group that targeted Paris on November 13th.
Two other militant Islamist groups, one of them affiliated with al Qaeda said they wereresponsible.
Mali has struggled with Islamist militants for years.
The instability caused by a military coup in 2012 allowed terror groups to take control ofterritory in Northern Mali.
The hotel where the attack happened was hosting international peace talks at that time.
A U.N. official says the terrorists who did it don't want to see peace in Mali.
Meantime in Europe, Belgium is on guard against terrorism.
French officials say the recent attacks in Paris, which killed 130 people, were planned in Belgium.
A French citizen who grew up in Belgium and is suspected on those attacks is on the run, andthe capital is under its highest terrorism alert level.
The threat level, level 4, was continues here in Brussels, now into its second day and it doesn'tappear to be easing.
It was just announced that the metro will remain close, the rest of this day Sunday, asauthorities meet late this afternoon to determine whether or not they can lift all of therestrictions they have placed on life here in Brussels.
This all developed Friday night when the prime minister announced a new, serious andimminent threat, something akin to what happened in Paris that had him asked for the closingdown of all concerts, restaurants, bars, anywhere where people gather.
All of this is taking place at the same time that Belgium officials are still trying to track downthat eighth elusive attacker, Salah Abdeslam, who is from Belgium.
Threat level continues here.
People going on with their lives as best they can, while keeping a wary eye on anything thatlooks suspicious.

The ISIS terrorist group has threatened other cities, including some in the U.S.
So, people will be especially watchful as Americans travel for the Thanksgiving holiday.
The AAA driving group is predicting that 47 million Americans, the most since 2007, will bebehind the wheel at some point this week.
The navigation app Waze says the best time to drive to avoid traffic is on Thanksgiving itself,in the morning or in the evening.
But increased security will probably be more noticeable for those who choose to fly.
Millions of passengers will pack unto planes to kick off the holiday travel season.
From now until December 1st, it's estimated a total 25 million people will fly on U.S. airlines, 3percent more than last year.
This as airports around the country remain on high alert.
TSA has to be a lot more thorough now because of all these concerns.
It's pretty simple mathematics.
In the end, it's going to take more time to screen each person and that is going to add tolonger lines.
Travelers should expect longer wait times as TSA spends more time inspecting passengers andluggage.
Expect random checks, hand swabs to test for explosive residue and additional randomchecks at the gate.
Even pre-checked passengers may be required to remove their shoes and laptops.
Homeland Security has also called for expanded screening of all items on aircraft, leavingoverseas airports with direct flights to the United States.
There's no known specific threat to the U.S.
But passenger planes remain a target for terrorists.
ISIS claimed this is the bomb that brought down a Russian passenger plane earlier this month.
That crash, along with the terrorist attacks in Paris, have led to a climate where pilots andairlines are taking no chances.
The next aircraft on file is the emergency aircraft.
Two Air France flights were diverted after bomb threats were called in.
As a precautionary, we are declaring an emergency.
It's a security issue.
And Thursday night, a Spirit Airlines flight was forced to make an emergency landing in FortLauderdale, after another bomb threat.
They all proved to be hoaxes.
But heightened airport security paired with more holiday travelers will likely lead to long waits atAmerica's airports.
Everybody understands that the first priority is to be safe.
Now, especially with the new security concerns, you're really more than ever going to want toget to the airport early.
The other factor that could impact wait times, TSA's full time airport security staffing levelshave steadily decrease due to a shrinking budget.

Of course, weather plays a part too in Thanksgiving travel.
And except for the Pacific Northwest, forecasters are predicting decent Thanksgiving weatherfor most of the U.S.
It should be a welcome relief to travelers in Chicago, Illinois, where hundreds of flights werecancelled over the weekend.
The season's first big snowstorm arrived.
Some parts of the northern U.S. were buried under as much as 20 inches of snow.
There were problems for drivers as well, with freezing rain and sleet, making things dangerouson the roads.
Freezing rain versus sleet.
It all comes down to the temperature at different levels of the atmosphere.
