星期五真是太棒了。
歡迎收看CNN學生新聞。
今天,部分政府關閉結束。
美國債務可能的上限危機現在已經解除。
週三晚上,國會對這項議案進行投票表決並且最終批准。
星期四一大早,奧巴馬總統簽署了它。
隨著時間的流逝,華盛頓開始恢復正常。
被迫休假,沒有工資的聯邦雇員們也于昨天重返工作崗位。
這項議案稱他們被迫休假的薪金會得當補償。
像佛羅里達大沼澤地等的大多數國家公園和地標性建築一直處於關閉狀態。
而現在這些旅遊聖地對外開放接待遊客。
記住,本周通過的該議案是暫時性的。
它將資助政府到1月。
債務上限將被提高到2月。
所以，在議案通過後,參眾兩院預算委員會的領導人們已經開始著手下一輪的談判。
當聽到“奴隸制”一詞你可能會想到歷史中的一些事。
美國內戰決定這裡的問題,今天奴隸制在任何一個國家都是非法的。
但是現在全世界範圍內, 奴隸制比歷史上的任何時期還要多。
現代奴隸制度並不總是和你在教科書上看到的景象一樣。
它包括販賣人口,強迫勞動,兒童剝削、強迫婚姻。
而經過十年研究一份新的報告對於奴隸制和它的受害者提供了最新資訊。
遺憾的是,現如今的2013年遠比你想像的更為普遍。
2980萬。自由基金會統計出的這一驚人的數字揭示了估計全世界有多少人作為現代奴隸。
這一數字引用首次提供國家與國家間受害的深度和廣度的全球奴隸制指數。
下面10個國家被奴役的人占全球的76%。
中國、俄羅斯、尼日利亞、巴基斯坦全部囊括在內。
但是世界人口第二大國印度目前擁有最多數量的奴隸,估計在1300至1450萬人之間。
很多專家稱這是一個保守的數字。
印度有著強迫勞動,包身工等巨大的問題。
整個社區曾被迫進行搬磚或被迫在採石場工作。
而且孩子們同樣在工廠工作，所以這是一個巨大的問題。
但該指數發現茅利塔尼亞,這個1961年最後禁止奴隸制的國家問則是最普遍的。
據估計5名公民中就有1人包身給地主,那裡的傳統很難打破。
Fridays are awesome.
Welcome to CNN STUDENT NEWS.
Today, the partial government shutdown over.
The possible U.S. debt ceiling crisis averted for now.
Late Wednesday night, Congress voted on the deal and approved it.
Early Thursday morning, President Obama signed it.
As the day moved forward, things in Washington started returning to normal.
Federal employees who were furloughed, set home without pay, were back at work yesterday.
The deal says, they'll get back pay to cover what they missed while they were furloughed.
Most national parks and landmarks, like the Everglades in Florida had been close since the shutdown started.
They are back open now and accepting visitors.
Keep in mind, the deal passed this week is temporary.
It funds the government until January.
It raises the debt ceiling until February.
So, after it was passed, leaders of the House and Senate budget committees got together to start the next round of negotiations.
When you hear the word "slavery" you might just think of it as something from history.
The U.S. Civil War decided the issue here, and today slavery is illegal in every single country.
But right now, worldwide, there are more slaves than at any other time in history.
Modern day slavery isn't always the same as the images you see in textbooks.
It includes human trafficking, force labor, child exploitation, forced marriage.
A new report used a decade of research to offer the latest information on slavery and its victims.
Sadly, in 2013 that story's far more prevalent than you'd expect.
29.8 million. That's the staggering estimate of how many people around the world are leaving as modern day slaves, according to Walk Free Foundation.
The number is cited in the foundation's global slavery index, which for the first time provides a map, country by country of the depth and breadth of the scourge.
These ten countries account for 76 percent of the world's enslaved people.
China, Russia, Nigeria, Pakistan are all in there.
But India, the world's second most populous nation has by far the highest number of slaves, estimated up between 13 and 14.5 million people.
A lot of experts would say, that's a conservative number.
India has a massive problem with forced labor, bonded labor.
There are whole communities that are forced to work on brick or forced to work in stone quarries.
Kids were working in factories, so it's a massive problem.
But the index found that it is Mauritania, which was the last country to outlaw slavery in 1961, where the problem is most prevalent.
With an estimation one in five citizens bonded to a master, tradition is proving hard to break.
