题目:Will Crimea Vote To Leave Ukraine and Join Russia?
Hello, and welcome to As It Is from Learning English!
Im Christopher Cruise in Washington.
Today on the program, we report on the growing popularity of Pope Francis. Some people are calling this The Francis Effect. Whatever it is called, it does not seem to have caused many former Catholics in the United States to return to the church.
We can be so focused on our sanctuary, our buildings, and wait for people to come to us.
But we begin our program today with a report about the situation in Crimea. The local government has called a special election on whether Crimea should declare its independence from Ukraine. But Russian and pro-Russian troops are in control of the area. And those who want Crimea to remain part of Ukraine say that means the vote will not be fair.
The most cynical thing in history is when people have to make a choice under the gun, when they are afraid about their children, their family.
We report on the referendum in Crimea, and the popularity of Pope Francis today on As It Is.
Crimea to Vote on Independence from Ukraine
The government in Crimea is moving forward with plans to hold a referendum on whether or not to break ties with Ukraine and join Russia. The vote is set for Sunday. Crimean voters have a choice between joining Russia or re-establishing the 1992 constitution and Crimeas rights as an autonomous republic of Ukraine.
