CARL AZUZ, CNN 10 ANCHOR: Delivering your Tuesday edition of CNN 10, I`m Carl Azuz. I`m a real person. Unlike the anchor you`re going to see later

in the show and I am personally grateful to have you watching. OK. Let`s get started. U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a proclamation that
 

proclamation [͵prɑkləˋmeʃən] n. 公告,布告;宣言书;声明书


will prevent certain migrants from seeking asylum in America. Here`s what that means. Asylum refers to protection for people who are being
 

asylum [əˋsaɪləm] n. 避难;政治避难权,庇护权


mistreated. For those who are persecuted in their home countries because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a

certain group, the U.S. government allows them to apply to stay in America.

President Trump`s proclamation puts a new limit on that. Migrants who illegally cross into the U.S. from it`s southern border with Mexico will no

longer be eligible to apply for asylum at least for 90 days. Here`s why the proclamation was issued. The President wants to decrease illegal

immigration to the U.S. and to further discourage the caravans of migrants who are now traveling through Mexico from coming to America. Many of them
 

caravan [ˋkærə͵væn] n.(来往于沙漠的)商队,香客队伍,移民队伍


are expected to seek asylum. Here`s why the proclamation is controversial.

Advocacy groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, say the Trump Administration is trying to override current U.S. asylum law. They
 

override [͵ovɚˋraɪd] v. 撤销,推翻;使无效;不顾,无视


call the proclamation illegal and they`ve filed a lawsuit to challenge it. The rule took effect on Saturday. The government says it will not apply to

migrants who came into the country before it was issued or to people who present themselves at legal ports of entry into the U.S.

10 Second Trivia. In what year did a vote recount in Florida delay the results of the U.S. presidential election? 1796, 1992, 2000, or 2004.

Though the election took place on November 7th, 2000, a recount in Florida held up the results until more than a month later.
 

hold up 延误


It`s been one week since the 2018 U.S. midterm elections were held but the results of some races are still unknown and the state of Florida is once

again conducting a high-stakes recount. There are three races that are too close to call. In the race for governor, former U.S. Representative Ron DeSantis,
 

high-stakes 高风险的;下大赌注的;孤注一掷的


a Republican, had about 34,000 more votes than Tallahassee mayor Andrew Gillum, a Democrat. In the race for Florida`s U.S. Senate seat,

current Governor Rick Scott, a Republican, had about 12,500 more vote than current Senator Bill Nelson, a Democrat.

And in the race for Florida`s Agriculture Commissioner candidate Nikki Fried, a Democrat, had about 5,300 more votes than candidate Matt Caldwell,
 

commissioner [kəˋmɪʃənɚ] n.(政府部门的)长,长官;(委员会的)委员


a Republican. Florida`s doing a mandatory recount because the margins of leadership in all three of these contests is under 1/2 of 1 percent. And

the part of the controversy is at the end of election day, it appeared that the three Republican candidates had larger leads over their opponents than

they did after late vote counts came in from some Florida counties.

So Republican candidates have suggested that Democrats are trying to commit fraud to win the elections. While Democrats have suggested that

Republicans are trying to keep all the votes from being counted. Florida`s recount of 8.5 million votes has to be done by this Thursday night. If

it`s not, than the current counts and results are likely to stand.

CARL AZUZ: Austin, Texas has south by southwest which brings technology together with a music festival. Las Vegas, Nevada hosts CES, the Consumer

Electronic Show
, which hasexhibitors from thousand of technology companies. In Dubai, United Arab Emirates recently wrapped up it`s annual GiTex event where robots played a staring roll this year.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is GiTex the Gulf Information Technology Expo, the biggest tech show in the Middle East. More than 4,000 exhibitors from 100

different countries turned up this year. What really stands up at GiTex is all the other tech conferences we see around the world is the amount of

money government, in this part of the world, are pouring into tech. Not just the amount they`re investing in tech companies but the way they`re

trying to guide tech start-ups in their nations to innovate to meet the needs of the Gulf region.
 

guide [gaɪd] v. 带领; 引导;指导


This is one of the more meaningful inventions that I`ve seen at GiTex. It`s a water robot and I love the idea that it`s so basic. It just has a

nut and it`s going around picking up garbage that in the water and then at the end the net will come up so it collects everything and it can`t go back

out again. Other bits of tech here are more lighthearted. This robot`s making me nervous. This whole setup may look like a gimmick but it
 

lighthearted [ˋlaɪtˋhɑrtɪd] adj. 轻松愉快的,无忧无虑的;随便的

setup [ˋsɛt͵ʌp] n.(事物的)安排,结构;体制;计划,方案


actually demonstrates incredibly well how little of a chance man has versus machine.

But they often display just how far machines and robots have come in recent years and for Dubai it means being at the front-and-center of the latest
 

front-and-center [͵frʌnt ænd ˋsɛntɚ]adj. 【美】非常重要的


technology developments. This is rolling all around the floor but it`s not a vacuum cleaner. It`s actually all part of the research into automating

vehicle inspections. So this would go under your car, take pictures and send that back to an algorithm that`s trying to figure out what`s wrong
 

algorithm [ˋælgə͵rɪðm] n.【数】互除法;算法;规则系统


with your car and then it will text you that information. I don`t have a car anymore.

If you don`t like looking in your rearview mirror and seeing blue and red lights flashing, imagine this showing up behind you or over you. This is a
 

rearview ['rɪrvju] adj. 后视的; n. 后视镜,背视图

rearview mirror(车辆)后视镜


quadcopter that Dubai`s experimenting with not to give out traffic tickets but more for things like search and rescue. Each unit will set a municipality back about $150,000. Yes, I asked to take a ride. No, they wouldn`t let me.
 

quadcopter [ˈkwɑdkɑptɚ] n. 四轴飞行器; an unmanned helicopter having four rotors

municipality [mju͵nɪsəˋpælətɪ] n. 自治市;市政当局

set back 花费


(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ: I`m kind of glad my job isn`t just to anchor CNN 10 but to write it as well. Because that`s one thing this guy can`t do.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AI ROBOT: Hello everyone. I`m an English Artificial Intelligence Anchor.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CARL AZUZ: Did you hear that? Artificial intelligence. Not the real thing. He`s part of an effort to show off China`s AI technology. True, he

looks professional and he won`t lose his voice to a cold or need to take breaks. But he is absolutely useless unplugged where as I keep on going.
 

unplugged [͵ʌnˋplʌgd] adj. & adv.(音乐演奏)不插电(的)


And as far as his delivery goes, he`s "robotic" you all. So what if he can "anchor digits" all day long and what if his hair and his fashion or the

very high definition of cutting edge.

When it comes to his reporting, he`s only two-dimensional. When it comes to personality, he just can`t "delivery". Maybe one day there will be more

virtual anchors and they`ll make news. But until then, we`ll keeping it real on CNN 10. I`m Carl Azuz.
