Well, let's turn to events in California
2
and firefighters in Los Angeles are bracing themselves for a fresh
3
wave of strong winds as they continue to battle wildfires that have been raging for more than a week.
4
At least 25 people have been killed and dozens are still missing.
5
You can see here the two largest fires,
6
the Palisades and Eton fires, which continue to burn.
7
The local authorities are warning that strengthening winds may spread the flames further.
8
Let's get the latest from Will Grant.
9
Every house is gone on that street, in that area.
10
They're all gone.
11
As the flames closed in on them,
12
Sheila Wheatley and her husband Victor fled their home in Altadena with nothing but the clothes on their back.
13
The couple, who run a fostering agency for at-risk youth,
14
made it out with their lives, but little else.
15
This is a street where I have spent a lot of time being a part of the community.
16
The next day, Sheila returned to the ruins,
17
a lifetime in a home turned to ash,
18
one of 12,000 structures lost in the worst fires LA has seen in decades.
19
Like picking up my keys this morning and recognizing
20
that all the keys to the house and the back door key and all that belong to nothing, to nothing.
21
It is surreal.
22
It's a tale which crosses communities in Los Angeles.
23
ELIZABETH RAFIDI GREW UP IN A POOR NEIGHBORHOOD HERE,
24
BUT BECAME A LAWYER AND BROUGHT A HOUSE IN MALIBU WITH HER HUSBAND.
25
TODAY SHE'S LIVING IN A HOTEL ROOM,
26
UNSURE OF WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS.
27
IT'S LIKE HAVING A MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY DIE,
28
BECAUSE THAT'S THE END, THE END ROAD AT THAT POINT OF THAT PERSON'S HISTORY,
29
WHICH IS THE END ROAD OF OUR HOMES.
30
WE WENT TO MALIBU TO FIND ELIZABETH'S HOME,
31
OR WHAT'S LEFT OF IT.
32
It stood for 50 years until these wildfires raised it to the ground.
33
As the days pass, more
34
and more evacuated families are coming to terms with the fact they now have no home to come back to.
35
The lucky ones are in hotels on the insurance company's dime.
36
The less fortunate are sleeping in evacuations shelters
37
or even in their cars as they and the city work out their next steps.
38
Multi-million dollar mansions and tiny apartments alike have been levelled by these fires,
39
which have left the people of LA reeling.
40
The rebuild will begin in time.
41
The mental scars for those who lost everything may take much longer to heal.
42
Will Grant, BBC News, Los Angeles.
43
Our North America correspondent David Willis gave us the latest from LA.
44
They are bracing themselves here for further high winds in the next few hours.
45
Now they're They're not expected to be as fierce as the hurricane-force winds
46
which wrought such devastation to communities such as this a week ago.
47
But the U.S.
48
National Weather Service is nonetheless using words such as destructive and life-threatening to describe them.
49
Now, with hundreds of Canadian and Mexican firefighters,
50
as well as firefighters from neighbouring states,
51
now on the ground here,
52
LA's Mayor Karen Bass is saying that her city is ready to respond to any changes in the weather conditions.
53
But asked today about the timescale for rebuilding communities such as this.
54
She said it could take years.
55
City officials have first to scour these areas for any hint of human remains before removing all the debris
56
and ash that is here before they can start the repopulation process.
57
That said, though, a few former residents of this community
58
were allowed past the evacuation zone today to return to see what remains of their former homes.
59
And I have to say,
60
as you can probably see around me,
61
the answer is not very much.

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。
