10、 script.）Script:Item 1:Women and girls living in areas of Iraq and Syria that have fallen under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, have been deliberately targeted for brutality by these militants, and have suffered terribly at their hands. Wherever ISIL has seized cont

11、rol, it has imposed a strict code on women that includes confining women to their homes unless accompanied by a male relative, as well as the wearing of a black, full-coverage robe, face veil and gloves. ISIL s all-female militia unit, al-Khansaa Brigade, has been formed to enforce these requirement

12、s on Iraqi and Syrian women. But even worse, women have been arbitrarily murdered by shooting, torture, or stoning. Every day, women and children, especially those from minority communities, face the threat of being abducted. In fact, over the past two months, some 1,500 to 4,000 women and children,

13、 some as young as 12, have been abducted in Iraq by ISIL terrorists. As Ambassador-at-Large for Global Womens Issues Catherine Russell wrote in a recent opinion piece, “While captive, these women and children have been tortured, raped, given to ISIL thugs as brides, or kept as sex slaves. Some have

14、committed suicide to avoid sexual enslavement. Others have been forced to watch as ISIL beat their children to coerce the women into converting to Islam. Some have simply been executed. Hundreds of women and girls have been taken from Iraq to ISIL camps in Syria and never heard from again.”According

15、 to survivors who managed to escape ISIL s clutches, the women are given a choice: those who convert to Islam are sold as brides to Islamist fighters. Those who do not convert face daily rape and even death .Ambassador Russell noted:s campaign of terror, through which it destroys communities, reward

16、s its fighters and feeds its evil. A coalition that fights ISIL must also fight this particularly egregious form of brutality.”“As we galvanize an international coalition to work with the newly formed Iraqi government to confront the evil represented by these extremists, we need to ensure ISIL s hor

17、rendous treatment of women and girls is front and center.”Item 2Thousands of Somalis have fled to this camp near the Ethiopian border this year, as a prolonged drought has made it impossible to make a living at home. “I moved here because in the location where we lived before, we used to get water f

18、rom wells. The wells have since dried up. I am here so I can be closer to both the water supply and the town . Somalia has not had a stable government since 1991, when its military leadership was overthrown. Since then, Islamist militants have battled the central government, fostering terror across

19、the country in their effort to establish an Islamic state. The violence has forced people from their homes and fields, and has exacerbated food shortages. “There is an offensive against the insurgents. The al-Shabab militants in some parts of the region, the Bay and Bakool regions. So a lot of peopl

20、e are displaced from their homes as a result of that crisis. So that increases the number of the IDPs （internally displaced persons） that were already vulnerable to this drought. The government has been fighting to reclaim the territory held by the terrorist group al-Shabab. A recent U.S. drone stri

21、ke killed the groups leader, but roads in many parts of the country are unsafe.Somalia as a country had a very difficult situation and circumstances where many communities were cut off from health services because of accessibility and insecurity,” said UNICEFs Abdinor Hussein. The United Nations has

22、 begun an airlift of urgent food and medical supplies into southwestern parts of the country that were controlled by the militants until March of this year. Many children in those areas have not been vaccinated yet.The first child got measles when he was six. He developed high fever and had diarrhea

23、 and, after 10 days, he developed a skin rash. He is lucky to have survived. My three other children also contracted measles at the age of four and had the same symptoms,” said one mother. Somali journalists, meeting in Mogadishu, discussed what they could do to help stabilize the country. We as Som

24、ali journalists, I think it is important for us to have peace and we need it in reality because every day, journalists are killed here in Somalia. We are wounded and some journalists have fled the country. So I believe we need peace,” said Burhan Dini Farah, one of the journalists. The meeting coinc

25、ided with the release of German-American journalist Michael Scott Moore, who was kidnapped by Somali pirates more than two-and-a-half years ago.Item 3Russias largest meat producer, the Cherkizovo Group, supplies about 45,000 tons of chicken per day to the Moscow area. Growth in domestic production h

26、as reduced Russias dependence on meat and agricultural imports to about 10 percent. But the Kremlins sanctions on Western food imports has some people worried that prices could go up. Such as Moscow shopper Yelena.“Certainly I am very concerned. If the price of Russian-produced food goes up, I will

27、feel it, she said. But right now Russian food prices are competitive with Western food.Russian authorities say the import limits will not drastically affect food supplies or prices. They expect to use suppliers in Asia and Latin America to replace their Western sources. Russia is one of the largest

28、buyers of frozen poultry from the United States. Halting those imports could help companies like Cherkizovo gain market share. Spokesman Yuri Cherchenko says the firm will soon double its output of semi-processed fresh poultry, and is ready to replace U.S. suppliers.“I think that the sanctions again

29、st imports are good for us, as national producers, he said. They are an additional impulse to further develop Russias own agricultural production.But it is not only the big Russian producers who stand to benefit from a ban on Western foods. The dairy company Mosmedyn says its European-style cheeses, like mozzarella, are better than imports because they are delivered fresher. Deputy director Sergei Rezunenko says there is increased demand for his products, but he still is opposed, in principle, to market limits such as those created by the Russian ban on Western imports.“In
