Hello,
I was listening to the video one time. Because there were very few unknown words.
This BBC News series focuses on aspects of life in countries and cities around the world. What may seem ordinary and familiar to the people who live there can be surprising to those who do not.
The Ford Falcon is one of Argentina's icons.
The cars were first imported into the country in 1962, and although production of the model ended some twenty years ago, they are still as popular as ever.
The Falcon became a status symbol for the Argentinian middle class in the boom years of the 1970s and 80s.
But as Candace Piette explains, the model also has a darker history.
Originally this car was used during the war.As usual this model was green color because it afforded to be imperceptible in the forests and fields. on such kind of car military transferred the bodies of killed decedents. this car was enough huge and comfortable for dark business.
But Argentinian families don't guess about this dark history of their icon.

Santiago strives to become a cool, global city
Hello, dear readers!
I was listening to this video 1 time. it was enough to understand what particular message they wanted to get across to audience.
The main idea: In February Chile was struck by one of the largest recorded earthquakes in history and work to repair damaged buildings and roads, particularly in the Concepcion region, is still going on.
In Santiago life has quickly returned to normal. Over 300km away from the epicenter, it did not suffer the same level of damage.
However, tourism there has been struck very heavily. The Chilean tourism industry says the media is responsible for misrepresenting the danger of the situation and deterring tourists.
Now in Santiago there is everything for the tourists.The Chilean government consider Santiago one of the most developing cities in South America. A lot of new buildings are reconstructed now, new roads are built, Santiago is changing, improving because of good infrastructure. And government is splashing lot of cash in Santiago.
The citizens found the obvious changes. thay said that 10 years ago it was more sad it is like kick two or three times now it is full by energy. it is time for jump.in 45 minutes from the city you can be in snow mountains, in another one hour you can taste the best wine in the world.
"Only twenty years ago unpolitical rights were restricted by closes, books, films, pictures. Now it is woke up".- one famous artist says.
the reputation of Santiago is a cool city is still unreconstructed. and now it is being progress.

Hello, dear readers!
I had to listen to the news like 3 times because from the first time I couldn't get the idea concerning the beginning. There were less unknown words. Mostly it was easy to catch the idea and details what was going on.
What happened?
In the Dubai's airport were intercepted the 2 packages with explosive materials. In the plane which destined for the USA American police officers found the packages.They figured out that this package originated in Yemen. As known in Yemen now based Alkaid group . And American President is going to do everything to protect citizens of the USA. They had talks with Yemen government for general actions against terrorism. And Obama made the first steps of protective politics. He had already ordered to stop the activity of company UPS. Because those two cargoes with the same explosive materials which was also intercepted in Britain and Dublin own by UPS. And today in the middle of the road in Chicago was stopped the lorry owning by UPS. Now Obama has intention to root out the extremism and he vowed to do everything for protection the USA.

Captive Sarah Shourd on life in Tehran prison, http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/world_news_america/9046376.stm
I have been listening to the report 2 times. The first time I was not so attentive so that's why I had to listen it again.And it was enough for me to understand the main idea of conversation and what happened.
what happened? the American teacher with her friends were hiking on the mountains which was near with Iranian border. They were arrested and sent to the Tehran prison, because of suspicion on spying. Iranian officers treated to them like prisoners though they had better conditions then another. they had extra food, medicine and so on. But they did not have opportunity to do phone calls to home and in spite of crying and requests Iranian refused them. Actually their relatives and family did not know what was going on with them. Were they still alive or no.
They had to tell everything about themselves beginning from when they were born till they arrival to Iran. Sarah Shourd she was a victim was writing like hundreds and hundreds pages. it was some kind of her biography.it was done for Iranian officers who wanted to be sure that they are not participants of spy organization. The Prisoners did not get the answers on all questions and it was obvious that situation was getting more political. And always when there is a politics you never know how this situation will develop. Fortunately, prisoners were released and they came back to the USA. and now this process develop.The US State Department has singled out eight Iranian officials by name for tough new sanctions accusing them of rampant human rights abuses.
