CARL AZUZ, CNN STUDENT NEWS ANCHOR: Hey, I`m Carl Azuz, for 10 minutes of commercial-free news for the classroom.

大家好，我是Carl Azuz，这里是十分钟不含商业广告的时事新闻。

First up, President Obama has issued a new executive order. Part of it will make it illegal for U.S. government agencies to provide local police forces with certain kinds of military style equipment. So, this could include some types of camouflage uniforms, certain guns, grenade launchers and bayonets, and some armored vehicles that move on tracks like tanks do. Until now, the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security may have provided this equipment to police.

首先奥巴马总统颁布了一项新指令。其中这项指令可以使美国政府机构向当地警察力量提供某种军事设备违法。所以这些设备可能包括某些迷彩服，一些枪支，榴弹发射器和刺刀，还有一些装甲车移动设备，例如坦克。直到现在，美国国防部和国土安全部门可能已经向警方提供了这些设备。

The president`s executive order doesn`t need congressional approval but it`s limited. It does not make it illegal for police forces to get military-style gear. They just have to get it from private sellers instead of the federal government.

这项总统指令不需要国会的授权但是是有限制的。这条指令不会令警察力量获得军用齿轮违法。他们可以从私人军火商处购买。

The president hopes the order will help build trust between citizens and police.

总统希望能够通过这条指令帮助建立市民与警察之间的信任。
