Inspired by [an answer][1], I wonder if there are good places to watch simple-language multimedia on current topics with subtitles or transcription (and ideally English translation).

For example, [Spiegel TV][2] provides a lot of informative content, but it's still not easy to understand as videos don't seem to exactly correspond to articles.

Something similar what I have in mind is Deutsche Welle's [Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten][3] but that's just an audio, it's short and vocabulary is a bit too advanced for a beginner.
