SECTION C NEWS BROADCAST
1. Last week, a United Nations report says humans are very likely the cause of most of temperature increases in the last 50 years. It says global warming is undeniable and the world can expect to feel the effects for centuries to come. The intergovernmental panel on climate change released the report in Pairs at a conference of climate experts. Representatives of more than 100 governments agreed on the findings. This is the most detailed scientific report to date on global warming and the influence of fossil fuel burning and other human activities. The scientists say there is greater than a 90% chance that greenhouse gases are the main cause of rising temperatures and sea levels. The report also links global warming to other changes including increased dryness in some areas and violent storm patterns. The UN panel released its last climate change report 6 years ago. The scientists say the new report is based on studies done since then and stronger agreement on global warming. The new report makes no policy proposals but the aim is to press governments and industries to cut the release of carbon dioxide and other gases blamed for trapping heat.

2. At least 80 people have died in a derailment of a luxury train in eastern India, which some government officials say could have been caused by terrorist sabotage, and investigation has been ordered to identify the cause of the accident. There were nearly 600 passengers and staff on board the train. It was going from the eastern city Calcutta to New Delhi when it was wrecked late Monday night. The train derailed as it was crossing a bridge over the Dhavi River, near Raffee Gange Station in the eastern Bihar State. One of the coaches sank in the river, at least two others hang precariously from the bridge, and several others left the tracks. The accident occurred in a remote area with poor telecommunication links. Many victims remained trapped in the wreckage through the night before they were rescued. A spokesman for Eastern Railway says rescue operations were slowed down by bad weather, but are now fully under way.

3. One in ten young people claimed to have had no career advice during their education. "Around two thirds have not decided on a career by the time they leave school," says the Hugel Paul for Recruitment Consultancy, Harvey Nash. "Most rely on friends but many are turning to the Internet for advice instead; and career service needs to embrace this", say the experts. The knock-on effect of confusing and unhelpful career advice is that young people are not making the best use of their skills and the industry is losing out on the most talented candidates. Harvey Nash Chief, Albert El said, "without direction and advice, not only are young people missing out on the potential career opportunities themselves, but businesses too could be missing out on the next generation of skills they need to compete".
