Part of the north-south metro line is due to open within this year."How long have you been in Beijing?" Wen asked one of the migrant workers."Ten years," the worker replied."Then you've already a Beijinger," Wen said.While visiting the construction site, Wen asked detailed questions about the metro construction progress."Have your family come to Beijing for the festival?" the premier asked a worker Hui Youquan who was busy setting up a reinforcing steel and spar frame on top of the metro station.Hui said his family is still at hometown.Wen told the workers Beijing citizens would be grateful to them for the comfortable subway. He also worked with workers on the spar frame.He said migrant workers have made great contribution to the country's industrialization and urbanization."You have already become a main force of China's working class," Wen said, extending his "gratitude and respect."The premier said the Party and government have adopted a series of measures to improve migrant workers' working and living conditions, including strengthening their training, establishing a comprehensive social security system and paying great attention to their work safety.A comprehensive mechanism covering work injury, medical care and pension are being established, he said, adding that safety monitoring devices have been installed on construction sites.While helping some female workers to trim vegetables, Wen inquired about their working and living conditions.Entering a canteen, he asked chefs to pay attention to food hygiene and ensure workers to have tasty meals.Wen felt satisfied when he learned that workers could watch television, read newspapers and magazines and even practise handwriting in their spare time.

Conservation efforts in Inner Mongolia have spurred the northern region's development and benefited the national capital, top regional officials said yesterday in Beijing.The autonomous region, which is known as a major source of the seasonal sandstorms that blanket Beijing, has "done what it could" to curb ecological deterioration, Yang Jing, chairman of the regional government, said."Protecting the environment has been listed as Inner Mongolia's most important infrastructure project," Yang told a press conference organized by the State Council Information Office yesterday to mark the region's 60th anniversary."The number of sandstorms has fallen significantly in recent years, which favorably influences the weather in Beijing and Tianjin. "Inner Mongolia, which is some 300 km north of Beijing, has long been thought of as the capital's backyard. However, the distance is not enough to protect Beijing from the wind-borne dust and sand that blow down from the region.Dust blown in from western Inner Mongolia blanketed Beijing nearly two months ago, lowering visibility to 4 km from 20 km the previous day.Inner Mongolia has spent some 20 billion yuan ($2.7 billion) on efforts to halt desertification in an area measuring 16.7 million hectares over the past five years. It has also increased its forest coverage to 17.6 percent of its total area from 14.8 percent in 1999, Yang said.At least 3 billion yuan was earmarked to implement the massive "Beijing-Tianjin windblown sand sources control project" in a bid to build a green ecological belt in northern China, according to regional government sources.The project involves 458,000 sq km of land, about 48 percent of which lies in Inner Mongolia."There are several sources of sand and dust (affecting Beijing) besides Inner Mongolia. We have done what we could on our part," Yang said.Chu Bo, secretary of the regional committee of the Communist Party of China, said yesterday that 70 percent of the region's livestock has been confined to enclosed pastures to reduce the grazing pressure on grasslands.In addition to returning farmland to forests and reclaiming overgrazed pastures, Inner Mongolia has encouraged traditional pastoral areas to develop alternative industries.Citing Erdos as a success story, Chu said the city would have plunged into an ecological vicious circle had it not built up secondary and tertiary industries.As a result, the city of 1.4 million people is expected to have a gross domestic product of 100 billion yuan ($13 billion) this year, a level of prosperity that can only be found in the country's coastal regions, Chu said.Inner Mongolia is home to China's largest grasslands. The region spans 1.18 million sq km, which is about twice the size of Ukraine.不算太长吧。

CNN NewsBAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck into a village near the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar on Monday, killing at least 28 people and wounding 50 others, an Iraqi army official said. Samir Jawaad, 6, is treated Monday after a roadside bomb exploded in the Iraqi capital's Zafaraniya district. At least 19 of those killed were children, Tal Afar Mayor Najim Abdullah al-Jabouri said. The blast left a 10-foot crater in the ground and damaged 10 homes in the Shiite Turkmen village of Qubbak, about six miles (10 kilometers) northeast of Tal Afar, the army official told CNN. In Baghdad, three roadside bombs detonated in various neighborhoods, killing at least 11 people and wounding 33 others, according to the Iraqi Interior Ministry. Rescuers seek 6 trapped in Utah coal mine2.(CNN) -- Rescue workers are drilling into a central Utah mountain "using every means known to mankind" in hope of rescuing six coal miners trapped after a cave-in Monday morning, the mine's operator told reporters. Rescue workers had not made contact with the miners trapped inside the Crandall Canyon mine outside Huntington, Utah, by Monday afternoon. But they had moved to within 1,700 feet of their last known position before fallen rock and debris stopped them, said Bob Murray, CEO of Murray Energy, the parent company of the mine's operator.He said teams are bringing machines in to dig through that debris, and a helicopter carried a drill rig to the top of the mountain to bore into the chamber where the men are believed to be. But he said the fastest way would be to reopen mine entrances that were sealed in 2004 and go into a tunnel that would bring rescuers to about "100 feet or so" from the chamber."The idea is to get a hole into where they are. They can be in a chamber there that's 1,000 feet long, or they could be dead. There's no way of knowing right now, and what we need to do is get access to that chamber."The process could take 48 hours, he said. But if the men are still alive, "There's water and air for far beyond that." (Posted 5:50 p.m.)
