Hello, again and welcome. Im Jim Tedder in Washington with the program that helps you learn and improve your American English. You can also learn about our world ...As It Is.
Today we hear about the relationship between India and the United States. Are better days ahead now that an ambassador has resigned?
Then some exciting news from NASA, the U.S. space agency. If you like airplanes, you will want to hear what they are working on.
You are listening to the Voice of America, and we are coming to you from Washington.
The resignation of the United States ambassador to India could lead to improved ties between the two countries. The resignation of Ambassador Nancy Powell came as no surprise to observers in the Indian capital, New Delhi. Ties between the countries have been tense since the arrest of an Indian diplomat in New York. Jonathan Evans tells us more.
Marie Harf is a spokesman for the US State Department. On Monday, she denied that there is a connection between the diplomatic dispute and the resignation. She told reporters in Washington that Ambassador Powell was retiring after a celebrated career.
It is in no way related to any tension, any recent situations. Theres no big behind-the-scenes story here.
But observers in New Delhi disagree. They say the US hopes to reset relations with India over the arrest of the Indian diplomat in New York. Law enforcement officials required the diplomat to remove her clothing while they performed a body search. The Indian woman was arrested on charges of underpaying her housekeeper. The diplomat has since returned to India.
