| No heating for Henan residents |
河南林州停暖真相 |
| The closure of a thermal power plant in Linzhou, Henan has left 20,000 city residents without heating for 14 days and likely the rest of the winter, the Beijing News reported. It was previously reported that Youchuang Thermal Power Plant was shut down to meet energy-saving goals, but new information has cast doubt on that explanation. In 2007, the Linzhou government claimed that it would shut down Youchuang to commence a much bigger project, the Datang thermal power plant, for which it received 23 million yuan in state subsidy. However, the Youchuang power plant continued to operate secretly, which was discovered by the National Development and Reform Commission in December 2010. The local government then demolished the plant on Jan. 4, despite the fact that the Datang project is still unfinished and unlikely to be finished until well into spring. |
《新京报》消息，河南林州一家火电厂的关停已经让当地2万名城市居民在没有供暖的条件下瑟瑟发抖了14天。之前有报道称，林州优创火电厂被关闭是为了完成节能减排的指标。但是记者发现，事情远远没有那么简单。2007年，林州为了上规模更大的大唐火电站的项目，提出要关停林州优创火电厂，并由此获得2300万补贴款。但是此后，林州优创火电厂一直在偷偷发电，去年12月被国家发改委查出。随后林州市在1月4日炸掉了该火电厂。而大唐火电站项目尚未完工。这也就造成了全市停暖。 |

| Venezuela wants Colombian show off air |
委内瑞拉要求停播肥皂剧 |
| Venezuela has told a private TV company to stop showing a Colombian soap opera it says is insulting to the country, BBC reports. Chepe Fortuna stars a character called Colombia, while her sister is named Venezuela and owns a dog called Little Hugo, the same name as Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez. In one episode, Venezuela loses Little Hugo, prompting Colombia to tell her she is better off without him. Venezuela's telecommunications regulator Conatel said the secretary character named Venezuela was "repeatedly characterized as associated with crime, interference and vulgarity." Her gossipy and unscrupulous manner, it said, showed "the shameless manipulation of the plot to demoralize the Venezuelan people." |
据英国广播公司报道，委内瑞拉近日要求一家私营电视台停播一部哥伦比亚肥皂剧，声称这部剧有辱委内瑞拉。在连续剧中，哥伦比亚女演员柴培·法图娜饰演角色“哥伦比亚”，其在片中的妹妹名为“委内瑞拉”，她有一只小狗叫“小乌戈”，与委内瑞拉总统乌戈·查韦斯同名。在其中一集中，“委内瑞拉”丢失了“小乌戈”。“哥伦比亚”告诉妹妹，没有“小乌戈”，她会过得更好。委内瑞拉电信监管负责人康纳特尔指出，片中的秘书一角“委内瑞拉”被不断描述成一个和犯罪和干政有关的角色，十分粗俗，而且爱讲小道消息、肆无忌惮。这种无耻阴谋会让委内瑞拉人民士气低落。 |
