CNN News 英国曼彻斯特演唱会发生爆炸 拯救世界的末日种子库进水 20170712

There was some breaking news last night out of Manchester, United Kingdom. Eyewitnesses said it appeared to be some sort of explosion. It took place at or near an Arianna Grande concert in Manchester Arena. British police initially said at least 19 people were killed and that dozens of others, around 50, were injured.
Emergency workers rushed to what was described as a chaotic scene. There were several videos like this that showed people panicking and running.
When we produce this show, there were still more questions than answers, but British officials said they were treating this as a terrorist .
You can look for the latest news on it at CNN.com.
Another story we're covering, what's known as the Doomsday Vault has been breached.
This is an emergency storage facility for seeds — more than 500 million of them from all around the world. It would allow people to recreate food supplies in case there's some sort of global catastrophe. The vault's carved into a side of a mountain Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago about halfway between Norway and the North Pole.
The company that manages the vault says water has gotten in, that it breached the entrance to the vault and sit about 50 feet into part of an access . The seeds themselves were not harmed.
So, how did this happen?
Regardless of when you're watching this show on Tuesday, the temperature in Svalbard is below freezing. The vault's management company says the breach occurred during an unusually warm and rainy October. They just made it public. Officials are waterproofing the walls inside the tunnel entrance to better protect the vault.

昨晚，英国曼彻斯特发生了令人震惊的事件。目击者表示，看起来像是发生了爆炸。爆炸发生在爱莉安娜·格兰德举行演唱会的场馆——曼彻斯特体育馆或是体育馆附近。英国警方早前表示，这起事件造成至少19人死亡，另有约50人受伤。
急救人员迅速赶往混乱的现场。据多则视频显示，人们在恐慌中逃跑。
我们在制作这期节目时，仍有很多问题没有解答，不过英国官员表示，他们将这起事件当作恐怖袭击处理。
大家可以在CNN官网上了解事件的最新进展。
下则新闻，末日穹顶出现裂口。
这是一个种子储存应急设施，这里储存着来自世界各地的5亿多个种子。如果发生全球性灾难，那人类可以凭借这些种子重建食物供应。这个种子库位于斯瓦尔巴群岛的一个山洞中，斯瓦尔巴群岛属于挪威，位于挪威和北极之间。
管理这个种子库的公司表示，水渗入了种子库入口处的隧道，渗水深度约为50英尺。库内储存的种子并没有受到损坏。
种子库为什么会进水？
无论你在周二什么时间收听到这则新闻，斯瓦尔巴群岛的温度一直在零度以下。种子库的管理公司表示，去年10月的天气异常温暖而且还下了雨，这导致种子库出现缺口。他们刚刚公开了这一情况。官员正在对隧道入口内部的墙面进行防水处理，以更好地保护种子库。
