The governor of New York state  Andrew Cuomo says tens of thousands of people affected by the huge storm last Monday could soon need housing because of an expected cold spell. The mayor of the New York city, Michael Bloomberg put the figure at 30,000 to 40,000, but said there would be a problem in finding empty properties. Speaking ahead of Tuesday's presidential election, Mr Bloomberg said some 143,000 voters in the city would be reassigned to different polling stations because of the storm. He promised to do all he could to help the electoral authorities.
纽约州州长安德鲁•库奥默说，数十万人遭受上周一飓风打击，预计寒潮将至，需要快速解决他们的住房问题。纽约市市长迈克尔•布隆伯格估计这个数字在3万到4万，称寻找空置房屋可能有困难。眼看周二就要举行总统选举，布隆伯格说，由于飓风影响，该市大约14.3万选民将被重新分配投票站。他承诺尽一切努力帮助选举机构。

We'll do anything we can to help the board of elections, the governor has tried the same thing, and this is a system that is not run by the state or by the city, they have real problems and we've got to make sure that everybody can vote. It's not gonna be easy, but we will both work hard on that.
我们将尽一切努力帮助选举委员会，州长也如此，这个系统不是纽约州或纽约市运行的，目前遇到了困难，我们要确保每个人都能投票。这不是件容易事，但我们都会努力的。

The New Hampshire rally featured two blasts from the past, the theme song of Bill Clinton's election rally and the man himself. And President Obama told them he was still a candidate who offered a change. Two national polls out today indicated both candidates are tied, a third shows Obama ahead by 1 point. But around 10 million Americans have already voted, Obama's team claimed he is winning in most of the eight vital swing states. They say in Florida, 44% of people have voted and he is ahead by 7 point. But Mitt Romney's rely on election day itself hammering home the point, he's the candidate for / real change.
新罕布什尔的活动出现了两股势力，一个是比尔•克林顿的选举集会，一个是奥巴马本人的。总统奥巴马告诉选民，自己仍是一位提出变革的候选人。今天两次全国选票显示两人平手，第三次选票显示奥巴马以1%的优势领先。但约有1000万美国人已经投票了，奥巴马的团队称奥巴马赢得8个关键摇摆州的多数，称在佛罗里达，44%的人已经投票，奥巴马以7%的优势领先。但米特•罗姆尼主要依靠选举日当天的表现，这本身说明他就是需要改变的候选人。

As Foreign Minister and deputy prime minister, Fauzia Yusuf Haji Adanhas is probably the most powerful female politician Somali has ever had. Another woman, Maryan Qasim has been appointed as minister for social development, a huge role for a country that has been devastated by 20 years of civil conflict, drought and famine. The cabinet has to be approved by parliament which may prove difficult as some of Somalia's clans feel they haven't been properly represented.
Fauzia Yusuf Haji Adanhas身兼外长与副总理，她可能是索马里至今最有权力的女性政治家。另一位女性Maryan Qasim被任命为社会发展部长，对这个遭受20年内战、旱灾和饥荒蹂躏的国家来说，这是重要的一大职位。内阁必须经过议会批准，索马里一些宗派认为自己在议会的席位不够多。

South Sudan says it has expelled a United Nations official who is carrying out an investigation to the human rights situation in the country. A government's spokesman in the capital Juba said the UN investigator had published reports which had no truth in them. UN officials said the expulsion may have been related to a report published in August accusing the army of torturing, raping, killing and abducting civilians. The UN called the expulsion a breach of South Sudan's legal obligations to the United Nations.
