5月13日VOA聽力：奧巴馬總統廣島之行就報歉與否激發爭議 朝鮮召開勞動黨第七次天下代表大會
U.S. President Barack Obama will be traveling toJapan later this month to meet with the leaders ofsix other industrialized nations.
They'll be discussing economic cooperation, energyand international security.
While he's there, President Obama is scheduled tovisit the Japanese city of Hiroshima.
That's where the U.S. dropped the first of two atomic bombs on Japan, killing hundreds ofthousands of people and bringing World War II to an end.
Obama's trip to Hiroshima would be the first time that a sitting American president visited thecity.
And the White House says the U.S. leader will discuss his goal for the world to get rid of itsnuclear weapons.
Critics say the visit would be inappropriate, partly because it will be seen as a U.S. apologyfor the bombings, and veterans groups say Japan should apologize for its conduct in the warand treatment of American prisoners.
CNN's Will Ripley has made 10 trips to report inside North Korea.
He says the communist government which controls its media also restricts internationaljournalists.
North Korean officials direct when a camera can be used, where it can be pointed, and Ripleysays they've strongly reprimanded him for his reporting which can include facts that are criticalof the nation or its leader.
More than 100 international reporters have had a number of challenges in covering a majorpolitical event called the Workers Party Congress.
But one thing that Ripley is that the secretive North Korean government seems very secure.
Few places put on these supersized displays of public adulation better than North Korea.
It looks like the entire city of Pyongyang has turned out here.
But the government officials here with us say only about half of Pyongyang is here, which wouldstill more than 1 million people.
You might ask, when do they have time to practice for these things?
Well, we come here, we see people practicing in the evenings after work.
It's workplace groups, it's core groups, it's neighborhood centers.
Everybody coming together, spending hours and hours to prepare for these displays that NorthKorea has really become famous for.
This time, it's to mark the end of the seventh party congress and the election of the supremeleader, Kim Jong-un, to a brand new, even bigger title, chairman of the Workers Party ofKorea.
He also was up on stage waving at the crowd and standing beside his new party leadership.
And what this means, the unanimous promoting him and the fact that you see all thepopulation out here celebrating the work of the congress,
the leader moves forward his plan, his plan to aggressively develop North Korea's nuclearweapons, also trying to grow the economy.
Even though the vast majority of these people didn't participate directly in the politicalprocess, only the ruling elite who were standing underneath the supreme leader who wereactually at the congress had a vote, a unanimous vote not surprisingly.
Still, these people, they were told by their government what happened and now, they are outhere celebrating, not asking questions.
This is what it means to be a citizen in the North Korean capital.
Will Ripley, CNN, Pyongyang.
