147 Killed in Kenya University Siege
A hostage taking at a university in eastern Kenya has left 147 people dead.
Islamist militants8 stormed Garissa University College early Thursday, taking students hostage and battling security forces for several hours before being taken out by Kenyan security forces.
Kenyan Interior Minister Joseph Nkaissery:
"When I talked to you this evening, at about quarter to seven, I told you that the operation was still ongoing9, 90 percent of the threat has been eliminated. I want now to confirm to Kenyans that the operation has ended successfully, all the terrorists are killed, the four terrorists are killed."
Around 500 students managed to escape the attack.
"As you can see the situation we are in. I've even run naked. We weren't even given time to know what is happening,"
Somali militant7 group al-Shabaab has claimed responsibility.
This is the same group behind the 2013 attack on the Westgate shopping mall in Nairobi.
Al-Shabaab has been attacking targets in neighboring Kenya following the Kenyan government decision to back an African Union force in Somalia meant to root-out the militant group.
Al-Shabaab had defacto control of large portions of Somalia during the 20-years the country was without a central government.
It still maintains control of significant portions of southern Somalia.
Iran Nuclear Talks Reach Outline Deal
Anchor
Following marathon talks, a new Iranian nuclear deal has finally been reached.
Under the deal, Iran will reduce its uranium enrichment capacity for at least a decade in exchange for phased sanctions relief.
CRI's Qi Zhi has the details.
Reporter
In announcing the preliminary agreement in the Swiss city of Lausanne, European Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini is applauding all-involved in getting a deal done.
"Today we have taken a decisive step. We have reached solutions on key parameters12 of a joint13 comprehensive plan of action. The political determination, the goodwill14 and the hard work of all parties made it possible."
This follows 8 days of intense diplomacy, which is the culmination15 of 18 months of off-and-on negotiations.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is describing the deal as "a major step forward".
"We have stopped a cycle that was not in the interest of anybody. Not in the interest of non-proliferation and not in the interest of anybody to one that will in fact be a gain for all parties concerned."
Under the preliminary deal, Iran will shut down more than two-thirds of its centrifuges for 10 years, reduce 98 percent of its stockpile of enriched uranium for 15 years, dismantle16 a reactor17 that could produce plutonium, and accept verification.
In exchange, economic sanctions currently imposed on Tehran are to be rolled back, but only after the United Nations confirms compliance18.
If at any time Iran fails to fulfill19 its commitments, the sanctions will -quote- "snap back" into place.
The five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany, along side Iran, will now start writing the text of a comprehensive accord to be reached by June 30th that is expected to end the 12-year nuclear standoff.
U.S. President Barack Obama is describing the breakthrough as historic, saying it meets Washington's core objectives.
"This framework would cut off every pathway that Iran could take to develop a nuclear weapon. Iran will face strict limitations on its program and Iran has also agreed to the most robust20 and intrusive21 inspections22 and transparency regime ever negotiated for any nuclear program in history. So, this deal is not based on trust, it's based on unprecedented23 verification."
At the same time, the Obama administration is cautioning that only full-implementation24 of the deal will prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
US Secretary of State John Kerrry.
"And of course, once we're able to finalize25 a comprehensive deal, the process of implementation then remains26 in front of us as well. But that's a good challenge to have, frankly27."
Both Obama and Kerry are also warning their domestic critics in Congress not to do anything to sabotage28 their diplomatic efforts until the deal is finalized29 by the end of June.
Meanwhile, critics abroad, including Israel and Saudi Arabia, appear much less positive about the deal.
Both the Israelis and the Saudis have expressed concerns about the concessions30 which will allow Iran to maintain significant portions of its nuclear program.
Israel has dismissed the framework deal as being detached from reality, vowing31 it will continue lobbying world powers against a "bad" final deal.

China takes global diplomacy center stage: blue book
Anchor
Analysis of China's foreign policy through this past year has been released by one of the country's leading foreign policy think-tanks.
The so-called "Blue Book" report by the China Institute of International Studies is suggesting Chinese diplomacy has gone a long way through 2014.
CRI's Qian Shanming has more.
Reporter
The "Blue Book" describes China's role in global diplomacy as "taking the center stage" through 2014.
The report notes two major summits were held last year in China.
Shanghai hosted the Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia.
And in November, world leaders decended on Beijing for the annual Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit.
The "Blue Book" report suggests this has given China a stronger voice on the international stage.
Chen Xulong heads the team which authored the "Blue Book" for the China Institute of International Studies.
"Chinese leaders attended a total of 11 multilateral summits last year. The leadership now views those summits as the main playing field for China's foreign diplomacy. They plan it carefully and try to strike a critical balance in maintaining various geopolitical partnerships32. Therefore, the leadership thinks they cannot afford to miss any of those summits."
The "Blue Book" also highlights the various international initiatives the Chinese government helped to formulate34 this past year.
These include the "Belt and Road" initiatives, the BRICS Development Bank and the Asian Infrastructure35 Investment Bank.
Observations in the "Blue Book" also suggest China's voice on the international stage has been assisted by other major world powers being embroiled36 in their own problems, including the United States' continued entanglements37 in the Middle East, as well as Russia's issue with Ukraine.
The "Blue Book" also has a forecast for China's involvement in international affairs this year.
Ruan Zongze is the vice38 director of the China Institute of International Studies.
"One of dominant39 themes of China's global diplomacy is peace. There are three major 70th anniversaries this year. The 70th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, the 70th anniversary of the victory of China's war over Japan and the 70th anniversary of the world's victory against Fascism. We will reflect on the past and we will also work on how to better contribute to the future."
The "Blue Book" issued by the China Institute of International Studies is an annual project designed to give the Chinese leadership, as well as the rest of the world, a general observation of how China views its role in international affairs.

Myanmar apologizes to China over warplane bombing
The Chinese government says Myanmar has formally apologized for an accidental bombing that killed five people in Yunnan last month.
A Myanmar government warplane dropped ordinance40 on Chinese territory while on a mission against an armed ethnic41 group on the Myanmar side of the border.
Myanmar's Foreign Minister has issued the apology while meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi here in Beijing.
Wunna Maung Lwin also says they're preparing compensation for the families of the 5 Chinese killed, along with 8-others who were injured in the blast.
At the same time, Myanmar's military has also issued an apology.
Authorities in Myamar originally discounted their role in the bombing, suggesting it may have been shelling from the rebel forces.
However, a joint report has since determined42 it was a Myanmar government warplane which dropped the fatal bomb inside Chinese territory.
The Myanmar government has accepted the findings of the study.
China expresses anger about US planes land in Taiwan
The Chinese government has lodged43 a formal complaint with the United States after a pair of US fighter jets made a rare landing in Taiwan on Thursday.
Hua Chunying is with the Chinese Foreign Ministry44.
"We have also noticed the reports and have already lodged a solemn representation to the United States. China urges the U.S. to strictly45 abide46 by the 'one-China policy,' the principles of three China-U.S. joint communiqués, and to cautiously and appropriately handle this incident."
Reports from Taiwan say the two F-18s landed at an air force base in southern Taiwan yesterday after experiencing mechanical problems.
It's not been made clear where they were coming from or where they were going.
China disagrees with U.S. sanctions program on overseas cyber attackers
The Chinese government is taking exception to a new Executive Order from US President Barack Obama imposing47 sanctions on overseas individuals or entities48 the US accuses of being involved in cyber attacks.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying.
"Cyber security concerns the common interests of all countries. The international community should jointly49 solve the issue of cyber attacks through dialogue and cooperation, and based on mutual50 respect and trust."
In issuing the executive order, Obama has declared "a national emergency" to address percieved threats from cyber attackers.
Under the presidential order, the sanctions include freezing all assets of targeted individuals or entities.
It also denies their entry into the United States.
The US government has accused the Chinese government of sponsoring cyber attacks.
The Chinese government has steadfastly52 denied the allegation, noting China is often a target of international cyber attacks itself.
Increasing Awareness53 Urged for Autism-suffering Children
Anchor
New calls are being put out by both medical workers and parents here in China for more awareness of children suffering from autism.
CRI's Yu Yang has more.
Reporter
The call for more awareness of autism in children comes as China prepares marks World Autism Awareness Day.
Autism is a developmental disorder54 which creates significant communication, social and behavioral challenges for children.
In some cases it can lead to incurable55 functional56 impairment.
The number of children suffering from autism in China hasn't been fully10 assessed.
Estimates range from 1.5 to 1.8-million.
However, only a small fraction of these children often receive professional help.
There are only 11-thousand autistic children registered in rehabilitation57 organisations nationwide.
One of the facilities which helps care for children with autism is the Yangyong Youyi Rehabilitation Center in Beijing.
There, autistic children at preschool age are given training to help prepare them for primary school.
But despite their efforts, many of them are rejected from entering primary schools.
Wei Qingyun helps care for the children at Yangyong Youyi.
"The children we receive here around September and October every year are mostly the ones rejected by primary schools. Their parents tell me that their children were rejected or asked to quit after admission. I think this is a very tough social problem now."
Being a parent with an autistic child has challenges beyond just education.
He Huiquan is a father of an autistic child.
"The older our children grow, the more worried we're becoming. We're worried about their education, job and their capacity for independent living. We can take care of them for now, but what about after we pass away?"
A number of rehabilitation centers and training schools have been set up across the country.
The Soong Ching Ling Foundation has launched a fund for autistic children, with 3-million yuan as initial capital.
However, the overall number of facilities to treat autistic children in China remains comparatively low.
There are only around 3-hundred autism rehabilitation centres in China.
Most of them are privately58 run.

Saudis: Using ground troops on the table
The Saudi ambassador to the United States is hinting his country may be considering sending in ground troops to combat Shiite Houthis in Yemen.
"We don't have, we don't have troops, formal Saudi troops in Aden. The issue of using ground troops is always something that is on the table."
Adel al-Jubeir's comments come as Shiite rebels make advances into the port city of Aden.
They've reportedly seized the presidential palace, as well as a strategic hilltop in the southern city.
The Saudi-led air campaign has been targeting the Houthis, as well as their allies, who are said to be forces loyal to Hadi's predecessor59, ousted60 President Ali Abdullah Saleh.
Yemeni officials allied61 with President Haider al-Abadi say a number of foreign troops from various countries have begun arriving in Aden to help assist forces loyal to Hadi.
Those reports have not been confirmed.
UK Election Race Heated up by Seven Party Leaders TV Debate
Anchor
The first televised debate involving 7 of Britain's main-stream political parties has taken place a month ahead of the general election.
CRI's London Correspondent Duan Xuelian with more.
Reporter
Seven party leaders from the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrat62, Scottish Nation Party, UK Independence Party, Plaid Cymru and the Green Party have gone head to head in the televised debate, which was broadcast live across the nation on Thursday evening.
(Sound1 debate sound clip)
Economic recovery, public spending and the National Health System are among the key issues brought up during the two-hour debate.
The debate is the first time Conservative leader David Cameron and Labor63's Ed Milliband, the two main contenders for 10-Downing, have met each other face to face in the run up to the May 5th vote.
The outcome of the debate itself remains somewhat mixed among pundits64.
Simon Hix, parliamentary expert with the London School of Economics, says he feels Ed Milliband probably benefitted the most from the TV appearance.
"I don't think the debate will have a big influence on the result but the one thing it could influence is people's perception of Ed Milliband. The public's perception right now is that he is not an effective leader and not very charismatic. If he comes across as a trustworthy leader who the public can actually imagine sitting in Number 10 as the Prime Minister then I think that could influence the election. So in a sense he has little to lose, David Cameron has much more to lose in the TV debate because the public feels they already know David Cameron but they don't really know Ed Milliband."
Political obsever Tony Travers says the televised debate is likely to have little impact on the overall vote.
"The way people vote will have more to do with five years of embedded65 attitude or behavioral response to what's going on more than a debate about the budget or some terrible gaffe66 during the election campaign involving some leading member of a party."
In an instant poll following the debate shows around 30-percent of those asked say they are likely to vote for Labour as a result of the debate.
The Conservatives polled almost as equally as well, garnering67 29-percent support among the roughly 1-thousand asked.

JD.com Launches Equity75 Crowdfunding Platform
China's leading online direct sales company JD.com, has launched JD Equity Crowdfunding platform, to help finance the creation of start-up companies in China.
The platform will give China's entrepreneurs access to a broad set of potential early-stage investors.
Under the model, each investment project will be led by a professional investment manager, who will be responsible for working directly with the investee76 companies.
The platform is expected to be China's largest equity crowdfunding platform.
1) JD.com is said to be the first e-commerce company to launch such an equity Crowdfunding platform after the State Council gave its backing to e-commerce companies to do so last month.
So, what are advantages of the new model in funding early-stage start-ups, compared with the traditional Venture Capital model?
2) Does the JD.com act like an intermediary agent under the newly-established platform? What are the ways for JD.com to gain profits from the platform?

Merged77 Didi, Kuadi Taxi App Value Could Reach $8.75 Bln after New Stake Sale
The market value of merged Didi and Kuaidi, China's two largest taxi apps is expected to reach some $ 8.7 billion after new stake sale, a nearly 50% increase.
That will be one fifth of the market value of U.S. taxi app Uber.
This comes after Coatue Management-led consortium is planning to buy nearly $400 million worth of stake from the combined firm.
Didi and Kuaidi, backed by e-commerce giants Tencent and Alibaba, announced their merger78 deal in February.
Speculations79 are ongoing about whether Kuaidi will sell all its stakes and quit once the merge51 completes.
1) The increasing market value of the combined firm has raised doubts on whether the two taxi app companies will create a monopoly in China's taxi app market. How do you perceive the potential monopoly after their merge?
2)Right now, the two companies seem to have shifted their focus from developing traditional taxis to high-end taxis by signing contract with car-rental firms. The booming high-end taxis have forced the traditional taxi industry to make some change such as cutting the franchise80 fee.
How do you think the merger deal could introduce more market force into China's taxi industry?

Bella Thorne gets mean in 'The Duff'
Anchor
A teen comedy is being released in the UK next week, highlighting some of the challenges teenagers face when dealing98 with social "cliques99."
CRI's Doris Wang has more on "The DUFF."
Reporter
Devastated100 by the discovery of what "duff" mean, Bianca is determined to change people's perceptions of her.
American actress Bella Thorne co-stars as the popular, and mean, Madison. She is the leading role Bianca's nemesis101.
While Thorne relished102 the role, she originally wanted to play the title character.
"I auditioned103 for Bianca, Mae's character, and I wanted to play the designated ugly fat friend and our director was like 'I think you're much more of a Madison character. Would you consider being this? Would you consider looking at this role? And I was like 'of course, of course I will. I just want to be in this film because I love the message, I love the actors, the director is so talented and won an Oscar. He's really a great guy."
Although the film is about high school kids, Thorne was one of the only actual teenagers on set.
At 17-years-old, she's considerably104 younger than star Mae Whitman, who is 26, and Robbie Amell, also 26, plays the love interest of both characters.
However, Thorne didn't find working with much older actors strange.
"Nope, it's not weird105. I don't know why people think it's weird. It's very normal because people tell me I am more mature, but of course I am because I've been working for a long time, I've grown up all around adults my whole entire life. This is just the natural human being - you mimic106 the things that you see around you. So, that's what I've been doing my whole life, is mimicking107 adults because that's constantly what I'm around."
"The Duff" was released in the US in February and has been compared to teen classics such as "Mean Girls," and John Hughes' popular '80s flicks108, like "The Breakfast Club."
According to Thorne, one of the potential reasons behind the film's success is its accurate depiction109 of high school life.
Derogatory terms, like the Duff, are regularly used in schools.
"People say 'that's so harsh, those are such harsh words,' but honestly if we dumbed-down high school to fit for the big screen, it wouldn't make sense and people would call you out, because high school is mean - news flash! People say much worse things in high school than what we're saying in this movie."
"The DUFF" opens in UK cinemas on April 6.

The young American was consistent in the majors last year, recording122 a top-five finish at the Masters before claiming a share of second at the US Open and the Open Championship.
He has cashed in during all five of his appearances this year and is hoping that playing in this week's Shell Houston Open will give him the preparation he needs to challenge for a Green Jacket at Augusta.
