介绍:
Welcome to 'Today' - a news programme with a different perspective. I'm John Artman.
And I am Xu Qinduo. Coming up, we'll have an hour of world news and analysis. To tell us more, here's Liu Kun.
Our top stories include:
The US Federal Reserve has announced they will end quantitative easing.

"The theory of socialist rule of law with Chinese characteristics stipulates the nature, direction and road map of the rule of law."

"APEC members believe the upcoming APEC summit is in good timing to launch the FTAAP. Consensus has been reached between all sides.”

"It is not the construction in the Jewish neighbourhoods that is pushing away the peace, it's the criticism that is pushing the peace away. "
And Guy Scott becomes Zambia's first white president since apartheid.
