**费城拆除一座建筑发生事故6人死亡**
救援人员星期四在宾夕法尼亚州的费城继续寻找幸存者。一天前，一座四层建筑在拆除时倒向相邻的一家旧货店，造成6人死亡。
星期三晚上，事故发生10多个小时后，在废墟中发现一名女子，致使幸存者的人数增加到至少14个。
费城市政官员说，对那座建筑的拆除不存在违规行为，拆房公司具有在费城市区从事作业的许可证。
有关当局说，不知道在星期三事故发生时有多少人在旧货店里和人行道上。
**6 Killed in Philadelphia Building Collapse**
Rescue workers in Philadelphia Pennsylvania continue to look for survivors Thursday, a day after a four-story building under demolition collapsed into a neighboring thrift store, killing six people.
Late Wednesday, a woman was found in the rubble more than 10 hours after the accident, raising the number of survivors to at least 14.
City officials say there were no existing violations on the building. They say the demolition company had proper permits for the work it was doing in downtown Philadelphia.
Authorities say they do not know how many people were in the thrift store or on the sidewalk when the accident happened Wednesday.
**韩国接受朝鲜举行谈判的建议**
韩国接受了朝鲜有关举行正式会谈的建议，显示朝鲜半岛南北双方的关系在持续数星期恶化之后，继续呈现缓和迹象。
星期四，平壤的祖国和平统一委员会出人意料地建议双方就两个陷于停滞状态的商业项目举行会谈，并提出就人道问题举行会谈的可能性。
韩国统一部迅速表示接受朝鲜方面的建议，并表示希望会谈有助于建立彼此间的信任。韩国统一部说，将很快宣布会谈的日期、日程以及其他有关细节。
韩国曾经表示，愿意举行工作级别的会谈，但除非朝鲜同意放弃其核武器项目，否则就不承诺进行范围广泛的讨论。
**S. Korea Accepts North's Offer to Hold Talks**
South Korea has accepted an offer by the North to hold official talks, in a sign that tensions continue to cool following weeks of deteriorating relations on the Korean peninsula.
Pyongyang's Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of Korea unexpectedly offered Thursday to hold talks on a pair of stalled joint commercial projects. It also suggested talks were possible on humanitarian issues.
Seoul's unification ministry quickly accepted the offer, saying it hopes the talks can help build trust between the two neighbors. It said it will soon announce the date, agenda, and other details of the discussions.
The South had previously said it was open to working-level talks, but was reluctant to commit to wide-ranging discussions unless the North agreed to abandon its nuclear weapons program.
