Passage 3
CNN news-Jan.16,2013
Protests have been going on for about a week now in the northern Irish capital of Belfast.They started out peacefully,but some of them turn violent later on.There is a lot of history behind these protests,and it starts with geography What’s interesting is that Northern Ireland is not part of the republic of Ireland.It’s part of the United Kingdom,and that’s
what’s behind this tension.Nationalists,mostly Cathol ic,think Northern Ireland should be part of the Republic of Ireland.Unionists or Loyalists,mostly Protestants,wanted to stay part of the United Kingdom.The conflict between those two groups led to decades of violence,more than 3,000 people were killed before a peace deal was signed in 1998.The protests happening now are connected to a decision regarding the British flag.In Belfast,the capital of Northern Ireland,the flag used to fly over City Hall every day of the year.Last month,local officials decided to limit that to 18 days per year.Unionists weren’t happy about that.In some cases protesters have thrown concrete blocks,bricks,even gasoline bombs at police.Officers have responded by using water cannons to break up the protests.
Next up,we are heading to the capital of China.Beij ing.Experts say that city has somethings thing in common with Los Angel es:smog.This gray haze is hanging in the air,making hard to see.Yesterday,the numbers indicating smog levels were
off the charts.
Authorities warn people there to stay inside.Last year nearly 700 flights were cancel ed at Bei-jing airports because of haze and smog.Officials in China say that the air quality in the capital has gotten better since Beijing hosted the 2008 Olympics,but residents say the poilution levels have gotten worse.
