English to Portuguese: Charlie Sheen to be subject of Bio Channel special General field: Art/Literary
Source text - English Charlie Sheen to be subject of Bio Channel special
- LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) Like cable network TLC and numerous other channels, the BIO channel is getting in on the Charlie Sheen saga.
The AETN-owned network will roll out a one-hour special, "Charlie Sheen: Bad Boy on the Edge," on March 20 at 9 p.m.
Similar to rival TLC's entry, which will air an hour later on the same evening, the Bio effort will include news footage from a network sit-down (in this case, ABC's "20/20" interview) as well as interviews with friends and experts. Among the latter: adult film actress Capri Anderson, Bret Michaels and Danny Bonaduce.
It will chronicle the ups and downs focusing, of course, on the most recent down of Sheen's 30-year career, which includes his firing from CBS' top-rated comedy, "Two and a Half Men."
With nearly hourly updates to the Sheen-a-palooza coming from Twitter, Upstream and legal meetings taking place behind closed doors, the special's producers (Stage 3 Entertainment's Steve Cipollone, Kelly Ryan and Jordan Schwart) have their work cut out for them.
Translation - Portuguese Charlie Sheen será objeto de especial do Bio Channel
- LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) Assim como a rede a cabo TLC e vários outros canais, o Bio Channel está adentrando a saga de Charlie Sheen. A rede de propriedade do grupo AETN apresentará o especial de uma hora,"Charlie Sheen: Bad Boy no Limite", em 20 de março às 21:00 horas.
Semelhante ao lançamento do rival TLC, que irá ao ar uma hora mais tarde na mesma noite, a iniciativa do Bio Channel inclui material de noticiário a partir de entrevista à rede (neste caso, uma entrevista no "20/20" da ABC), assim como entrevistas com amigos e especialistas. Dentre os estes estão: a atriz de filmes adultos Capri Anderson, Bret Michaels e Danny Bonaduce. Ele vai narrar a altos e baixos focando, é claro, na mais recente queda na carreira de 30 anos de Sheen, que inclui a sua demissão da prestigiosa comédia da CBS, “Dois Homens e Meio”. Com atualizações a quase toda hora da odisséia de Sheen vindas do Twitter, Upstream e de reuniões jurídicas ocorrendo entre portas fechadas, os produtores do especial (Cipollone Steve, Kelly Ryan e Jordan Schwart, da Stage 3 Entertainment) têm um grande desafio à frente.
English to Portuguese: UK inflation rate rises to 4.4% in February General field: Bus/Financial
Source text - English UK inflation rate rises to 4.4% in February
The UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) annual rate of inflation has risen to 4.4%, up from 4% in January.
This was driven by higher food, fuel and clothing costs and was the highest level for more than two years.
Retail Prices Index (RPI) inflation - which includes mortgage interest payments - rose to 5.5% from 5.1% in January, the highest rate for 20 years.
The CPI measure has now been one percentage point or more above the 2% target for 15
months.
The overall increase in CPI to 4.4% was more than had been forecast by economists.
The CPI figure is the highest since October 2008, and will put pressure on the Bank of England to lift interest rates to curb accelerating inflation.
The expectation of higher interest rates pushed the pound to its highest level against the dollar in more than a year.
It rose 0.5% to $1.639.
Translation - Portuguese Taxa de inflação do Reino Unido sobe para 4,4% em fevereiro
A taxa anual de inflação do Índice de Preços ao Consumidor (IPC) do Reino Unido subiu para 4,4%, vindo dos 4% em janeiro.
Isso foi gerado pela alta nos custos de alimentos, combustíveis e vestuário, e foi o mais alto nível por mais de dois anos.
A inflação no Índice de Preços no Varejo (IPV) - que inclui os pagamentos de juros de hipotecas - subiu para 5,5% dos 5,1% em janeiro, a taxa mais elevada durante 20 anos.
Os valores do IPC agora estão um ponto percentual ou mais acima da meta de 2% por 15 meses.
O aumento geral do IPC para 4,4% foi maior do que o previsto por economistas.
A cifra do IPC é a maior desde outubro de 2008, e irá colocar pressão para que o Banco da Inglaterra eleve as taxas de juros para conter a inflação acelerada.
A expectativa de maiores taxas de juros levou a libra ao seu nível mais alto frente ao dólar em mais de um ano.
Ele subiu 0,5%, para 1,639 dólares.
