英音听力讲解:菲律宾一教堂发生炸弹袭击事件

Hello, this is David Austin with the BBC News.
A bomb attack on a cathedral in the southern Philippines has killed more than twenty people and injured dozens of others. The first device went off inside the cathedral on Jolo island where worshippers had gathered for Sunday Mass. A second bomb exploded in the car park as the security forces responded. Howard Johnson reports from Manila. The Defense Secretary of the Philippines Delfin Lorenzana issued a statement in which he strongly condemned the attack and urged the public to remain calm to deny terrorism a victory as he put it. Decades of fighting in the region between numerous armed groups and the Philippine Army has claimed the lives of more than 120,000 people and displaced around two million. The island of Jolo lies in the proposed Bangsamoro autonomous region, a political solution to the conflict brokered by the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. Last week, voters in the area overwhelmingly backed the new region in a referendum.

He urged what he called his brothers in the armed forces to help restore democracy. Today, I speak to the people of Venezuela, and especially to my brothers in the armed forces of the nation to recognize President Juan Guaido as the only legitimate president. This is all based on the constitution of our Republic that states that no person or institution can be above it.
