Here is the news.China's sports minister said soccer should not take the place of other sports at school, but rather help lead their development.Liu Peng, head of China's General Administration of Sports, said promoting soccer at school does not mean it should replace other sports.He stressed that all sports should be fully developed although soccer does play a special role in leading sports development.Liu's comments came after media reports that some schools were putting a stop to other sports in order to promote soccer after China unveiled a soccer reform plan. The ambitious plan was passed a month ago by China's central reform group chaired by President Xi Jinping. The plan aims to increase the number of schools featuring soccer from 5,000 to 20,000 by 2020, and to 50,000 by 2025.Some media reports cited a statement released by the provincial education department in East China's Shandong province, saying the provincial authorities will suspend basketball and volleyball leagues at universities this year and include soccer in campus tournaments.The education department later deleted the statement from its official website and denied that they will suspend basketball and volleyball leagues, saying the media had misinterpreted their comments.This is NEWS Plus Special English.China's Xinhua News Agency and The Associated Press of the United States, the world's two leading news agencies, have agreed to strengthen cooperation in social media.To deal with the challenges of a transforming media environment, Xinhua laid eyes on social media where traditional news outlets are losing competitiveness.

It aims to spread knowledge about the prevention of AIDS and tuberculosis by using the influence of public figures.You are listening to NEWS Plus Special English. I'm Liu Yan in Beijing. The battle to dispel smog, cut greenhouse gases and solve the energy crisis is moving to space.Chinese scientists are mulling the construction of a solar power station 36,000 kilometers above ground.If it comes to fruition, the solar power station will become the largest-ever space project, surpassing the scale of the Apollo project and the International Space Station.The power station will be a super spacecraft on a geosynchronous orbit equipped with huge solar panels. The electricity generated will be converted to microwaves or lasers and transmitted to a collector on Earth.An economically viable space power station will be really huge, with the total area of the solar panels reaching 5 to 6 square kilometers. That's equivalent to the size of 12 Beijing's Tian'anmen Squares, the largest public square in the world, or almost the size of two New York Central Parks. People on Earth will possibly see the station with naked eye, like a star in the night skies.But why build a power station in space? Scientists explain that the electricity generated from the ground-based solar plants fluctuates with night and day and the weather, while a space-based generator can collect energy 99 percent of the time.When space solar energy becomes the main energy, people will no longer worry about smog or the greenhouse effect; and power cables will not be needed anywhere in the world.

AP President and CEO Gary Pruitt argues that a free and independent press is fundamental to a functioning democracy. It differentiates democracy from dictatorship; separates a free society from tyranny. Governments who try to set up a situation where citizens think they must choose between a free press and security are making a mistake that will ultimately weaken, not strengthen them. It’s not a real choice. It’s a false choice. Series: "Richard and Rhoda Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley" [Public Affairs] [Show ID: 25945]
