Real Talk. What would you do with a gap year?

Uh, if I had a opportunity to do a gap year, I'd pretty much travel, pretty much everywhere I could, whether it'd be Europe, Australia, Uh wherever.

I wouldn't stay in the States.

I would just pretty much take much, take whatever money I had and whatever opportunity and see as much as I could in that one year.

Um, pretty much go to historic sites and see uh, old history, uh, like Rome or something like that.

I'd pretty much go see all the historic sites, castles and everything I could.

News talk. Beijing Issues First Red Alert for smog

Pollution levels on the first day of Beijing's first ever red alert were only a fraction of what they were last week, when air quality surged above hazardous levels.

On Tuesday with restrictions on vehicles in place, streets were less congested.

But some had to keep working.

Until recently, Beijing was in denial about its pollution problem.

But it's no longer something that authorities can ignore.
