tomorrow to interview some Olympians for the show, so it's going to be a big week. 明天我将前往纽约， 为节目采访一些奥运选手，所以这将是重要的一周。 All right, let's get to the news. 好吧，让我们来看看新闻吧。 And we do start with some very serious news out of Israel. 我们确实从以色列传来的一些非常严重的消息开始。 On Saturday night, local time, the nation of Iran launched more than 300 drones and missiles at Israel. 当地时间周六晚上，伊朗向以色列发射了 300 多架无人机和导弹。 Iran says the attack was in retaliation for a suspected airstrike, which they believe Israel carried out earlier this month against an Iranian consulate complex in Damascus, which is the capital of Syria. 伊朗表示，这次袭击是为了报复一次疑似空袭，他们认为以色列本月早些时候对叙利亚首都大马士革的伊朗领事馆大楼进行了空袭。 That airstrike in Syria reportedly killed at least seven Iranian officials, including a top commander in Iran's elite Revolutionary Guard. 据报道，叙利亚的空袭造成至少七名伊朗官员死亡，其中包括伊朗精锐革命卫队的一名高级指挥官。 Saturday in Israel, the government reported that 99% of the projectiles that Iran fired were intercepted by Israel's vaunted Iron Dome or defense systems, as well as by defense systems from its partners, including the United States. 周六在以色列，政府报告称，伊朗发射的 99% 的射弹均被以色列引以为豪的铁穹或防御系统以及包括美国在内的合作伙伴的防御系统拦截。 Israel's Iron Dome uses sensors and computers to calculate the trajectory of an incoming missile or drone, and then fires its own missile to intercept and destroy that incoming projectile. 以色列的铁穹使用传感器和计算机来计算来袭导弹或无人机的轨迹，然后发射自己的导弹来拦截并摧毁来袭的射弹。 Saturday night, these defense systems seem to have worked, with Israel reporting no injuries suffered directly from an Iranian projectile, although it is believed that a seven-year-old girl fell victim to shrapnel from an Israeli interceptor missile. 周六晚上，这些防御系统似乎发挥了作用， 以色列报告称， 伊朗的射弹没有直接造成人员伤亡，不过据信，一名七岁的女孩是以色列拦截导弹弹片的受害者。 The U.S. says no Iranian cruise missiles hit Israel and no targets of great significance were hit. 美国表示，伊朗巡航导弹没有袭击以色列，也没有击中任何重要目标。 This is the first time Iran has ever fired directly at Israel, and it sets a dangerous precedent. 这是伊朗首次直接向以色列开火，开创了一个危险的先例。 During a phone call, President Joe Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. would not take part in any assaults on Iran, but reiterated the U.S.' dedication to the country's security. 美国总统乔·拜登在电话中告诉以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡，美国不会参与对伊朗的任何袭击，但重申了美国的立场。为国家安全奉献力量。 The U.S. is encouraging Israel to view the Iranian assault as a win because it showed the strength and ability of Israel's defenses. 美国鼓励以色列将伊朗的袭击视为胜利，因为这显示了以色列防御的实力和能力。 Next up, we take you to the U.S.-Mexico border, where arrests for illegal border crossings were down slightly in March. 接下来，我们将带您前往美国和墨西哥边境，三月份因非法越境而被捕的人数略有下降。 The downtick is noteworthy because typically there's an increase in migrant crossings during the spring. 这种下降值得注意，因为春季期间移民过境的数量通常会增加。 But this year, Border Patrol arrested 137,480 people coming into the U.S. from Mexico, a drop of 2.3% from the more than 140,000 apprehensions in February. 但今年， 边境巡逻队逮捕了 137,480 名从墨西哥进入美国的人，比 2 月份的 14 万多人被捕下降了 2.3%。 Part of the cause for the downturn, increased patrol and enforcement by Mexican officials on that side of the border. 造成经济衰退的部分原因是墨西哥官员在边境一侧加强了巡逻和执法。 CNN's David Culver takes you on the ground to see how a change in policy in Mexico is making an impact on the ground. 美国有线电视新闻网 (CNN) 的大卫·卡尔弗 (David Culver) 带您实地了解墨西哥的政策变化如何对当地产生影响。 You can see behind me here, there's a huge gap in the wall. 你可以看到我身后的墙上有一个巨大的缝隙。 And this is where Mexican officials tell us that a lot of the smugglers are either directing or bringing some of the migrants to so that they can easily cross. 墨西哥官员告诉我们，许多走私者要么引导或带一些移民到这里，以便他们可以轻松过境。 Which makes these rugged back roads the preferred and profitable routes for cartel-backed migrant smugglers. 这使得这些崎岖的小路成为卡特尔支持的移民走私者的首选且有利可图的路线。 We're about an hour east of Tijuana, driving with Mexican migration officials along the U.S.-Mexico border. 我们距离蒂华纳以东约一小时车程，与墨西哥移民官员一起沿着美墨边境行驶。 But we detour after learning a group of migrants has been rescued, as officials here say. 但正如这里的官员所说，在得知一群移民获救后，我们绕道而行。 We pull up and find about a dozen folks who describe to me their attempts to claim asylum in the U.S. 我们停下来，找到了大约十几个人，他们向我描述了他们在美国寻求庇护的尝试。 He said, he tried to cross, but Mexican officials stopped him from being able to go. 他说，他试图过境，但墨西哥官员阻止他过去。 That's because Mexico is now stepping up its efforts to stop migrants from crossing illegally into the U.S. 这是因为墨西哥现在正在加紧努力阻止移民非法越境进入美国。 Mexico is now pouring resources, like the National Guard and Mexican Army, in to help patrol and detain migrants like these. 墨西哥现在正在投入国民警卫队和墨西哥军队等资源来帮助巡逻和拘留此类移民。 Eventually transporting them to southern Mexico. 最终将它们运送到墨西哥南部。 Where we separate them by nationalities and then from them we determine the deportation process. 我们将他们按国籍分开，然后由他们决定驱逐程序。 What's happening here goes beyond stepped-up patrols. 这里发生的事情不仅仅是加强巡逻。 In recent months, Mexican officials have built base camps, deploying troops to some of the most popular illegal crossing sites. 近几个月来，墨西哥官员建立了大本营，向一些最受欢迎的非法越境地点部署了部队。 A smuggler's van. 走私犯的货车。 Are there several of these vehicles just left abandoned and? 是否有几辆车被遗弃了？ Like seven vehicles in total. 总共有七辆车。 In this area alone? 就在这一带吗？ In the area. 在该地区的。 As we pull up, we realize we've been here before. 当我们拉起来时,我们意识到我们以前来过这里。 We've seen so many people cross through this property. 我们看到很多人穿过这处房产。 This right here. 就在这里。 At this spot late last year, we met U.S. residents fed up with migrants coming through their land. 去年年底，我们在这个地方遇到了厌倦了移民穿过他们土地的美国居民。 They can come through the front door. 他们可以从前门进来。 Our cameras captured hundreds each day and night. 我们的相机每天每夜都会拍摄数百张照片。 That has stopped in recent weeks. 最近几周这种情况已经停止。 And it's stopped primarily because of what we're seeing on the Mexico side of things. 它的停止主要是因为我们在墨西哥方面看到的情况。 This is a remote base on the border. 这是边境上的一个偏远基地。 You've got Mexican immigration officials. 有墨西哥移民官员。 You've got National Guard. 你有国民警卫队。 And you've got Mexican Army, who are here 24-7. 还有墨西哥军队，他们在这里 24-7。 We have our fridge, microwave, coffee, everything. 我们有冰箱、微波炉、咖啡等一切。 You have moved resources to live 24-7 on the border. 您已将资源转移到边境，每周 7 天、每天 24 小时。 Why is it so important for Mexico to be doing that? 为什么墨西哥这样做如此重要？ We want to prevent migrants to get in touch with the criminal group. 我们希望防止移民与犯罪集团接触。 The number of migrant encounters reported by U.S. Border Patrol appears to reflect the impact of Mexico's actions, dropping 42% from December to January alone and seeming to stay low. 美国边境巡逻队报告的遭遇移民数量似乎反映了墨西哥行动的影响，仅从 12 月到 1 月就下降了 42%， 并且似乎保持在较低水平。 But officials warn cartels and their smugglers frequently adjust their tactics and keep close watch. 但官员们警告卡特尔及其走私者经常调整策略并保持密切监视。 They're watching us right now. 他们现在正在看着我们。 They see when we are patrolling and we -- when we leave a spot. 他们看到我们什么时候巡逻，我们什么时候离开一个地点。 It's a crisis that has also sparked uneasiness for Mexican residents. 这场危机也引发了墨西哥居民的不安。 It's gotten so frustrating for these folks in particular that a community got together, wrote a letter to their governor petitioning for more resources. 对于这些人来说，尤其是一个社区聚集在一起，给他们的州长写了一封信，请求更多的资源，这让他们感到非常沮丧。 And it's for that reason that you have, well, you can see right here, members of the Mexican National Guard who are now patrolling neighborhoods like this one to keep migrants from coming through. 正是因为这个原因，你可以在这里看到墨西哥国民警卫队的成员，他们现在正在像这样的社区巡逻，以阻止移民进入。 Authorities here urge migrants to use the U.S.'s CBP One app rather than to risk crossing with smugglers. 当局敦促移民使用美国 CBP One 应用程序，而不是冒险与走私者过境。 Like Mexican officials at this location even help pre-screen up to 500 migrants daily for the U.S. asylum interview process. 像墨西哥一样，这个地方的官员甚至每天帮助预先筛选多达500名移民，以进行美国庇护面谈程序。 So he's in communication with U.S. officials, on the other side, and they're sending documents back and forth to make sure that they have the right information. 因此， 他正在与另一边的美国官员进行沟通，他们来回发送文件， 以确保他们拥有正确的信息。 While this is a more orderly way to claim asylum, it can take a while to get an appointment. 虽然这是一种更有序的申请庇护方式，但预约可能需要一段时间。 Marta Achila says she's waited five months for this day. 玛尔塔·阿奇拉 (Marta Achila) 说，为了这一天，她已经等了五个月了。 So I asked why they didn't go through the smuggling route, which so many choose to do. 所以我问他们为什么不走走私路线，而很多人选择走私路线。 And she said that, for one, it costs an extreme amount of money. 她说，首先，这需要花费大量资金。 And the other aspect of it for her was they wanted to be able to enter legally through the appointment and try to build a better future there. 对她来说，另一方面是他们希望能够通过任命合法进入并尝试在那里建立更美好的未来。 The road ahead is uncertain for both the migrants and for those protecting the border. 对于移民和边境保护人员来说，前方的道路都是不确定的。 We see that firsthand as we leave the remote border camps. 当我们离开偏远的边境营地时，我们亲眼目睹了这一点。 The reason we've stopped and then pulled over is because there are these spikes that we've noticed all along the different dirt roadways that take us to the border wall. 我们之所以停下来然后靠边停车，是因为我们注意到在通往边境墙的不同土路上都有这些尖刺。 Evidence of a smuggler's desperate attempt to salvage their profits. 走私者拼命挽救利润的证据。 There are dozens, if not hundreds of these. 如果不是数百个，也有数十个。 And while it slows them down momentarily, for now they forge ahead in their efforts to curb the flow of a migrant crisis that's consuming resources on both sides of the border. 虽然这暂时放慢了他们的速度，但目前他们正在继续努力遏制移民危机的流动，这场危机正在消耗边境两边的资源。 David Culver, CNN, Tijuana, Mexico. 大卫·卡尔弗 (David Culver)，CNN，墨西哥蒂华纳。 Ten-second trivia. 十秒琐事。 How much does the New York Public Library charge for
