  6月22日BBC聽力:美國宣布歐洲旅遊告誡

  

  The US State Department has issued a travel warning to all Americans heading to Europe overthe summer, citing the risk of potential terrorist attacks. RT Anastasia Churkina has thedetails. we're now learning that the US State Department has issued a warning for Americantourists not to travel or reconsider their travel plans to Europe, specifically to Europe ingeneral this summer and to the Euro 2016 specifically which kick starts here on June 10th andis going to attract 2.5 million people from all over the world and continue until July 10th. They'rethat saying that this tournament could be a potential target for terrorism activities. So theState Department has issued this warning that they have said on their website is going to beextended until august 31st 2016. Of course making it obvious that it's directly going to affectpotential tourists coming here to France for this European Championship. And this issomething that the European officials here particularly in France of course have beenconcerned about considering this latest wave of strikes that we're seeing, unraveling in Francewith the railway stations, metro and towards the end of the week potentially airports arestriking against Labor Law reforms that the government is trying to push along with we doknow that concerns have been high that this could affect tourism. So now this latest terroralert is certainly something that is going to be bothering French officials here on the ground.We can take a listen to what was said by the French and German intelligence services on this.Let's take a listen.

  We know that ISIS has the European Championships in its sights. They will try to hit as soonas possible,and achieve the greatest possible impact. Of course, all of this comes on theheels of France preparing for this European Tournament with concerns very high that thestrikes and now this latest terror alert is going to be something that's going to be affectingthose who are planning to come here. And we spoke to European Security expert RicardoBaretzky. He believes that the terror threat is real. Last year before the terror attacks, sixmonths before the terror attacks began, the U.S. also issued a warning and that warning in thereport was actually blankly ignored by most of the countries in Europe. So this comes as nosurprise you know that they made this an announcement and of course there are concernedthat the security forces as a whole is not paying attention to the growing threat of ISIL. Ithink the risk is rather large you know. Seeing the fact that there is a lot of things happening atthe moment, we also seen instability movements across Europe happening. we've seen theriots in France. We see the riots in Brussel today. You know and a few weeks ago in Brandon.So there is a growing movement on the ground. There are two factors of risk. The one yousee security risk of external threats and the risk from internal threats. So both factors is adangerous situation that is one to time.
