和平目的還是核武器?
多年來,對於伊朗的核專案一直存在爭議。
而現在已經開始了面對面的討論。
來自伊朗,美國,英國、俄羅斯、中國、法國和德國的代表們針對這一問題昨天在瑞士日內瓦召開會議進行討論。
他們正在談論的是伊朗的核專案。
伊朗表示認真的解決這一專案產生的糾紛。
而其他國家的代表表示需要解決所產生的擔憂。
在過去,伊朗由於其核專案已經得到制裁。
制裁通常是經濟方面的限制。
其目的是迫使這個國家採取像改變政策或與其他國家進行談判等的行動。
一些官員和分析人士認為伊朗提供討論其核專案是為了解除那些制裁。
其中一位就是以色列總理。
他表示伊朗經常欺騙國際社會,所以他認為制裁不應該太早放鬆。
菲律賓當局正試圖辨明傷亡情況。
週二上午這個國家的中部地區發生了一次強7.1級地震。
數十人死亡,其中大多數是因為建築物倒塌所致,數十人在昨晚失蹤。
慈善機構的一名工作人員稱震後數小時後人們呆在街上,因為你可以從這些照片到,一些建築物仍然矗立，但在其周圍很不安全。
菲律賓是一個擁有超過7000個島嶼的國家。
地震在這個國家屢見不鮮。
菲律賓災難委員會表示這次地震造成港口、道路、學校、教堂、住宅破壞，而據報導也有山體滑坡發生。
我們現在回到華盛頓,圍繞部分政府關閉及債務上限問題的辯論比以往越來越強烈。
昨天,一群退伍軍人在首都舉行集會。
他們敦促總統和國會在其影響危害到退伍軍人和他們的家人前結束政府關閉。
有報導稱在國會山共和黨眾議院和民主黨參議院已經有了提議。
CNN記者被告知有很多解決辦法,但是最終都沒有敲定。

Peaceful purposes or nuclear weapons?
For years, that's been the debate over Iran's controversial nuclear program.
Now, the discussion is happening face to face.
Representatives from Iran, the U.S., the U.K., Russia, China, France and Germany started meeting yesterday in the Swiss city of Geneva.
They are talking about that nuclear program.
Iran says it's serious about resolving disputes over the program.
Representatives for the other country say Iran needs to address the concerns about the goals of the program.
In the past, Iran has been put under sanctions because of its nuclear program.
Sanctions are restrictions, usually economic ones.
The goal is to force the country to take action like changing a policy or starting to negotiate with other nations.
Some officials and analysts think Iran is offering to talk about its nuclear program in order to get those sanctions lifted.
One of them is Israel's prime minister.
He says Iran regularly deceives the international community, so he doesn't think the sanctions should be relaxed too soon.
Authorities in the Philippines are trying to get an idea of how bad the damage is.
A powerful 7.1 magnitude earthquake violently shook the central part of the country Tuesday morning.
Dozens of people were killed, most of them when buildings fell and dozens of others were missing as of last night.
A worker with the charity World Vision said people were staying in the streets in the hours after the quake because as you can see from these pictures, some of the buildings that were still standing, were very unsafe to be around.
The Philippines is a nation of more than 7,000 islands.
Earthquakes are common there.
The country's disaster council said this one damaged ports, roads, schools, churches and homes and some landslides were also reported.
Moving back over to Washington D.C., were the debate over the partial government shutdown and debt ceiling is getting more intense than ever.
Yesterday, a group of military veterans held a rally in the nation's capital.
They urged the president and Congress to end the shutdown, before its impact hits veterans and their families.
At the Capitol, there were reports of proposals from the Republican-led House, and the Democratic-led Senate.
CNN reporters were told there are a lot of opinions, but no decisions.
All while the clock kept ticking toward Thursday's debt ceiling deadline.
Teachers, we have a bunch of great resources on the debt ceiling.
They are in the resources bin on our home page.

See, if you can I.D. me.
I'm a U.S. military decoration.
I was established in 1861 for the Navy, and in 1862 for the Army.
I'm the country's highest military honor.
I'm the Medal of Honor and among more than 40 million U.S. military veterans I've been awarded fewer than 3500 times.
