It has become a familiar site. Iranian Red Cresant rescue teams searching through the remains of shattered buildings.

The US and Israel have launched thousands of strikes right across the country. They say they have all but destroyed Iran's military capabilities.
0:45.36 – 0:55.72 (10.4s)

But still, the regime fires back. Today, they released this footage of what they said was their 85th wave of missiles.
0:56.08 – 1:05.12 (9.0s)

And this was Kuwait airport after an apparent drone strike. Dragging US Gulf allies into the conflict has been a key part of Iran's strategy.
1:05.92 – 1:17.24 (11.3s)
6
And today, another front seems to have opened. Vast crowds took to the street in Yemen after the Houthis, allies of Iran, launched missiles at Israel.
1:17.44 – 1:29.32 (11.9s)

We are preparing for a multifront war, including with the Houthis. We know how to defend Israeli civilians. And as I said before, we act, we don't talk.
1:29.52 – 1:38.88 (9.4s)

Anyone who threatens Israeli civilians, we will strike them.
1:39.68 – 1:45.64 (6.0s)

But there is a bigger concern that the economic war deepens. Now if the Houthies decide to start attacking shipping in the Red Sea, it could have farreaching economic consequences. In order to avoid the straight of Hormuz, Saudi Arabia is currently diverting around 4 million barrels of oil a day through a pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. Now, that means the oil bound for the Asian market can then sail south in relative safety past Yemen. But that's not always been a safe route. For nearly 2 years, the Houthis attacked international shipping, damaging around 30 vessels. Now, they say they could target commercial shipping again, making the Babal Mandab Strait a key flash point, blocking routes for Saudi oil in both directions with huge implications for the global economy. what democracy looks like.

This war is increasingly divisive in the US. Today, huge protests took place. But overnight, Donald Trump insisted it was a fight that needed to be had.
2:38.88 – 2:48.40 (9.5s)

It was blackmail period. Under my leadership, America is ending the threat posed by this radical regime.
2:49.20 – 2:57.68 (8.5s)

There are diplomatic efforts to end the war. Pakistan has said it will host talks with Egypt and Turkey, a sign of just how widely the shock waves are spreading. But both sides seem to be talking at cross purposes. The US has said Iran is defeated, essentially calling for their surrender. While the message coming from Thran is equally uncompromising.
2:58.48 – 3:21.88 (23.4s)
13
Trump and the commanders of the US Army must have clearly understood that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers and they will have no option but to surrender.
3:22.08 – 3:34.12 (12.0s)
14
All the while, the human cost of the war continues to grow. The Iranian Red Cresant released this footage following what they said was an Israeli strike.
3:35.44 – 3:43.60 (8.2s)
15
The US has said this could all be over in weeks.
3:44.40 – 3:47.36 (3.0s)

How that will happen is far from clear.

Well, live now to our correspondent, James Waterhouse, who's in Jerusalem for us now. And James, to what extent do you think the Houthy attack on Israel is an escalation of the war in Iran?
3:54.40 – 4:06.64 (12.2s)
19
Well, Ben, the the footprint of this already vast war is widening further.
4:07.44 – 4:12.00 (4.6s)
20
Now, it was always likely that should Iran have asked the Houthis for help, they would have said yes because of the their long-standing relationship, because of the military and financial aid the Houthies had received from Iran.
4:12.80 – 4:25.76 (13.0s)

We have had two reported missile strikes or attempted missile strikes. Today, Israel's air defenses aren't usually too troubled by missiles launched from the south. But of course, it's also having to defend against salvo after salvo of Iranian missiles which make their way over and today has been no exception.
4:26.56 – 4:47.28 (20.7s)
22
And so when you think about America's claim or wish that this war will be over in weeks rather than months, when you consider Israel's own widening offensive in southern Lebanon where,00 civilians have been killed and counting, there's very little sign here in Israel that the war is winding down in any way.
4:48.08 – 5:09.84 (21.8s)
23
All right, James, thank you very much indeed.
5:10.64 – 5:13.68 (3.0s)

Three Lebanese journalists have been killed in a targeted Israeli air strike on their press vehicle in southern Lebanon. Among those killed was a well-known correspondent for Almanar TV, a station affiliated to the Iranianbacked Lebanese armed group, Hezbollah. The Israeli army claimed he was a Hezbollah member who had been exposing Israeli military positions without providing evidence. Well, also today, a funeral was held for a boy who was among five people killed in two air strikes in a town in southern Lebanon yesterday. And from there, our Middle East correspondent, Hugo Basha, sent us this report.
5:14.48 – 5:54.92 (40.4s)
25
This war is destroying not only Lebanon's present, it is also taking away part of its future.

My son is gentle and pure. He loved the idea of martyrdom. And when he grew up, he wanted to be with the resistance. He wanted to resist the enemy, Israel, who killed him.

Israeli bombs have pounded towns and villages across Lebanon. In the south, Israeli troops are pushing ahead with their invasion. Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah, which has continued to launch attacks against Israel. But here, often it's civilians who were killed. This is the location that was hit. And the scale of the destruction gives us an idea of the power of the attack. This house has been completely destroyed. There's a lot of damage in this building on this side. And people here say that this attack happened at around 1:00 in the afternoon and that it came with no warning. And this is the fear that many have across this country of not knowing when and where the next Israeli attack will hit.
6:34.80 – 7:25.36 (50.6s)
32
The Israeli military is yet to explain why it attacked this building.
7:26.16 – 7:30.40 (4.2s)

Lebanese officials say more than 120 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in this war with hundreds more wounded and then my back.

Jawad's aunt Zanab survived the attack.

1 hour later I have She has a broken spine and fractured leg, but doctors believe she will fully recover.
7:43.60 – 7:48.80 (5.2s)
36
Had you ever imagined that something like this could happen to you?
7:49.60 – 7:52.16 (2.6s)
37
No, at all. There's nothing for Israel to bomb us because I'm sitting with my husband and with my children.
7:52.96 – 7:59.92 (7.0s)
38
We're playing football with me and my cousins.

Israel and Hezbollah are vowing to keep on fighting and more innocent children will be lost to a war they're too young to understand.

このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオでは、イランの戦争が激化している様子が伝えられており、英語を学ぶ際に大変重要な会話の文脈を提供しています。ニュース報道の内容は、リアルタイムの状況を反映しているため、語彙力やリスニング力を向上させるのに役立ちます。また、英語シャドーイングやshadow speakの練習を通じて、話す能力を高めることができます。ニュースの文脈でのフレーズや単語は、トピックを把握するのに役立ち、さらに自分の意見を表現する練習にも活用できるでしょう。
文法と表現の文脈
このビデオには、特に注目すべきいくつかの文法構造や表現があります。
- 過去形を使った報告: 「they attacked」というフレーズは、過去に行われた出来事を報告する際に使われる良い例です。
- 現在完了形: 「have launched」という表現は、最近の出来事が現在にどのように影響を与えているのかを示します。
- 命令形: 「We act, we don’t talk」のような表現は、強い意志や決意を表すのに効果的です。
これらの文法に注目することで、英語スピーキング練習がより効果的に行えます。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
このビデオでは、特定の単語やアクセントがつまずきやすいポイントですので、注意が必要です。
- Houthi: 「ウーティ」と発音することが一般的な間違いですが、正しくは「フーシ」となります。
- Bab al-Mandab: この固有名詞は、日本人には発音しづらいかもしれません。「バブアルマンダブ」と練習すると良いでしょう。
- missiles: 「ミサイル」の発音は間違いやすく、特に二重母音部分での舌の位置が影響します。
これらの発音を正すことで、英語の発音を良くする手助けになります。shadow speechを通じて、正しい発音を耳に焼き付け、自分のスピーキングを改善していきましょう。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
ShadowingEnglishでの効果的な学習方法
- 動画を選ぶ: 自然で明瞭な英語が使われているYouTube動画を選びましょう。TED Talks、BBC News、映画のシーン、ポッドキャスト、IELTS模範解答などが最適です。URLをコピーして検索バーに貼り付けてください。短い動画（5分以内）や、自分が本当に興味を持てるテーマから始めるのがコツです。
- まず聞いて内容を理解する: 最初は1倍速でただ聞くだけにしましょう。まだ繰り返す必要はありません。文の意味を理解し、話者がどのように単語を強調し、音を繋げ、間を取っているかに注目してください。内容を把握してからシャドーイングに入ると、はるかに効果的です。
- シャドーイングモードを設定する:
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
+3sまたは+5sを選ぶと、動画が一文を読み終えた後に自動で一時停止し、繰り返す時間が生まれます。完全に手動でコントロールしたい場合はManualを選んでNextを自分で押しましょう。 - Sub Sync（字幕同期）: YouTubeの字幕と音声がずれることがあります。
±100msで調整して、正確なタイミングで追えるようにしてください。
- Wait Mode（待機モード）:
- 声に出してシャドーイングする（最重要）: ここが練習の本質です。文が流れると同時に——または一時停止中に——はっきりと自信を持って声に出して繰り返しましょう。ただ単語を読むだけでなく、話者のリズム、強調、高低、連音をそっくりそのまま真似することが大切です。「影」のように話者に重なるのが理想。Repeat機能を使って同じ文を何度も繰り返し、自然に出てくるまで定着させましょう。
- 徐々に難易度を上げて続ける: 一つのパッセージに慣れたら、さらに挑戦してみましょう。速度を <code>1.25x</code> や <code>1.5x</code> に上げれば、高速の言語反射を鍛えられます。Wait Modeを <code>Off</code> にして連続シャドーイングするのが最も上級で効果的なモードです。毎日15〜30分継続すれば、数週間で目に見える変化を実感できます。
