1
There are fears
2
that the war in Iran could escalate after Iranian-backed Houthi rebels
3
in Yemen said they have launched a second wave of missiles and drones against Israel.
4
Well, the Houthis have in the past attacked shipping in the Red Sea,
5
and there are fears they could target the Bab al-Mandab Strait,
6
a vital global shipping route.
7
Elsewhere, there have been attacks across the region,
8
including one on a US military base in Saudi Arabia,
9
injuring 12 American troops.
10
This report from our World News correspondent, Joe Inwood.
11
It has become a familiar sight.
12
Iranian Red Crescent rescue teams searching through the remains of shattered buildings.
13
The US and Israel have launched thousands of strikes right across the country.
14
They say they have all but destroyed Iran's military capabilities.
15
But still, the regime fires back.
16
Today they released this footage of what they said was their 85th wave of missiles.
17
And this was Kuwait airport,
18
after an apparent drone strike.
19
Dragging US Gulf allies into the conflict has been a key part of Iran's strategy.
20
And today another front seems to have opened.
21
Vast crowds took to the street in Yemen after the Houthis,
22
allies of Iran, launched missiles at Israel.
23
We are preparing for a multi-front war, including with the Houthis.
24
We know how to defend Israeli civilians and,
25
as I said before, we act, we don't talk.
26
Anyone who threatens Israeli civilians, we will strike them and we are now going to attack the nuclear war.
27
But there is a bigger concern that the economic war deepens.
28
Now, if the Houthis decide to start attacking shipping in the Red Sea,
29
it could have far-reaching economic consequences.
30
In order to avoid the Strait of Hormuz,
31
Saudi Arabia is currently diverting around 4 million barrels of oil
32
a day through a pipeline to Yanbu on the Red Sea coast.
33
Now that means the oil bound for the Asian market can then sail south in relative safety past Yemen.
34
But that's not always been a safe route.
35
For nearly two years the Houthis attacked international shipping, damaging around 30 vessels.
36
Now they say they could target commercial shipping again,
37
making the Bab al-Mandab Strait a key flashpoint,
38
blocking routes for for Saudi oil in both directions,
39
with huge implications for the global economy.
40
This is what democracy looks like.
41
This war is increasingly divisive in the US.
42
Today, huge protests took place.
43
But overnight, Donald Trump insisted it was a fight that needed to be had.
44
It was blackmail period.
45
Under my leadership, America is ending the threat posed by this radical regime.
46
There are diplomatic efforts to end the war.
47
Pakistan has said it will host talks with Egypt and Turkey,
48
a sign of just how widely the shockwaves are spreading.
49
But both sides seem to be talking at cross purposes.
50
The U.S has said Iran is defeated,
51
essentially calling for their surrender,
52
while the message coming from Tehran is equally uncompromising.
53
Trump and the commanders of the U.S.
54
Army must have clearly understood that the region will turn into a graveyard for American soldiers,
55
and they will have no option but to surrender.
56
All the while, the human cost of the war continues to grow.
57
The Iranian Red Crescent released this footage following what they said was an Israeli strike.
58
The US has said this could all be over in weeks.
59
How that will happen is far from clear.
60
Joe Inwood, BBC News.
61
Well, live now to our correspondent James Waterhouse,
62
who's in Jerusalem for us now.
63
And James, to what extent do you think the Houthi attack on Israel is an escalation of the war in Iran?
64
Well, Ben, the footprint of this already vast war is widening further.
65
Now, it was always likely that should Iran have asked the Houthis for help,
66
they would have said yes because of their longstanding relationship,
67
because of the military and financial aid the Houthis had received from Iran.
68
We have had two reported missile strikes or attempted missile strikes today.
69
Israel's air defenses aren't usually too troubled by missiles launched from the south.
70
But of course, it's also having to defend against salvo after salvo of Iranian missiles,
71
which make their way over.
72
And today has been no exception.
73
And so when you think about America's claim or wish that this war will be over in weeks rather than months,
74
when you consider Israel's own widening offensive in southern Lebanon,
75
where 1,100 civilians have been killed and counting,
76
there's very little sign here in Israel that the war is winding down in any way.
77
All right, James, thank you very much indeed.
78
Three Lebanese journalists have been killed in a targeted Israeli airstrike on their press vehicle in southern Lebanon.
79
Among those killed was a well-known correspondent for Almanar TV,
80
a station affiliated to the Iranian-backed Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.
81
The Israeli army claimed he was a Hezbollah member who had been exposing Israeli military positions without providing evidence.
82
Well, also today,
83
a funeral was held for a boy who was among five
84
people killed in two airstrikes in a town in southern Lebanon yesterday.
85
And from there, our Middle East correspondent,
86
Hugo Boshega, sent us this report.
87
This war is destroying not only Lebanon's present,
88
it is also taking away part of its future.
89
This was the funeral today for Jawad Yunis,
90
killed in an Israeli airstrike as he played football with his cousins.
91
He was 11.
92
His mother was devastated.
93
My son is gentle and pure.
94
He loved the idea of martyrdom.
95
And when he grew up,
96
he wanted to be with the resistance.
97
He wanted to resist the enemy Israel, who killed him.
98
Israeli bombs have pounded towns and villages across Lebanon.
99
In the south, Israeli troops are pushing ahead with their invasion.
100
Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah,
101
which has continued to launch attacks against Israel.
102
But here, often, it's civilians who were killed.
103
This is the location that was hit
104
and the scale of the destruction gives us an idea of the power of the attack.
105
This house has been completely destroyed.
106
There's a lot of damage in this building on this side.
107
And people here say that this attack happened at around 1 o'clock in the afternoon and that it came with no warning.
108
And this is the fear that many have across this country of not knowing
109
when and where the next Israeli attack will hit.
110
The Israeli military is yet to explain why it attacked this building.
111
Lebanese officials say more than 120 children have been killed by Israeli attacks in this war,
112
with hundreds more wounded.
113
And then my back.
114
Jawad's aunt, Zainab, survived the attack.
115
She has a broken spine and fractured leg,
116
but doctors believe she will fully recover.
117
Had you ever imagined that something like this could happen to you?
118
No, at all.
119
There's nothing for Israel to bomb us,
120
because I'm sitting with my husband and with my children.
121
We're playing football with me and my cousins,
122
and then Israel will do this thing.
123
Israel and Hezbollah are vowing to keep on fighting.
124
And while innocent children will be lost to a war,
125
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。
