This is NBC Nightly News with Jose Diaz-Balard.
2
Good evening.
3
We begin tonight with a remarkable rescue in Southeast Asia.
4
Four more men finally free after they were trapped in a cave for more than a week.
5
This was the scene in Laos earlier when those men were brought back up to the surface.
6
Survivors embracing their family members and the people who saved them.
7
Take a look at this new video showing just how dangerous conditions were below ground.
8
You can see just how cramped that cave is,
9
with one of the rescuers literally pulling himself through a narrow, flooded passage.
10
Our Janice Mackey-Frayer starts us off tonight.
11
After 10 days trapped in a flooded cave, a remarkable rescue.
12
Four men were able to walk out,
13
exhausted but elated to be alive.
14
He took an international rescue effort involving divers and specialists from at least half a dozen countries.
15
The head of the operation posting screen grabs of two of the men smiling at the hospital.
16
They quickly called to thank us, he wrote.
17
It really warmed our hearts.
18
Every trip into the cave was a risk for rescuers.
19
Navigating narrow tunnels in the dark with little room for error.
20
Yeah.
21
Volunteers pumping muddy water out around the clock in a race against time, weather and uncertainty.
22
Divers had been preparing to go in and get the men who had been learning how to use the oxygen tanks.
23
Then in a fortunate turn of events,
24
the water receded enough for them to one after another emerge
25
on their own put on stretchers to get the medical attention needed after being underground with no food and increasingly toxic air.
26
24 hours earlier, the first survivor was taken out by divers,
27
covered in mud, his hands injured.
28
He says, my name is Mueg,
29
telling rescuers, I'm OK, I'm all dry,
30
giving relief to families and momentum for rescue teams.
31
But tonight, attention focused on two others who are still missing.
32
What began for the men as a search for gold,
33
now a daring rescue with the world's attention.
34
That is not yet over.
35
Incredible outcome.
36
Janice joins us live from Beijing.
37
Janice, what's the latest you've heard on the two remaining men?
38
Jose, with this breakthrough, search teams now plan to explore an area deeper inside the cave,
39
beyond where the five were found.
40
They're cautious, though.
41
Rescuers know the sections are heavily flooded.
42
They're narrow.
43
They're dark.
44
They remain the most hazardous parts of this operation.
45
Jose.
46
Janice Mackey-Frayer, thank you.
47
Back here at home, a massive boom rattled New England today,
48
jolting people across three states.
49
This, just days after a similar incident, shook South Carolina.
50
Erin Gilchrist reports.
51
Tonight, New England rattled by a mysterious boom.
52
A deafening blast, even setting birds aflutter.
53
captured by cameras and heard across rhode island new hampshire and massachusetts
54
prompting calls to 911 so we're getting calls from multiple locations but nothing confirmed
55
as an explosion an afternoon of arts and crafts interrupted for bianca de lorenzo
56
and her kids outside providence the heck was
57
that talk to me about your reaction i mean i saw the video that that you posted.
58
We actually bought a tree, fell on our roof.
59
So my husband ran outside and he's like,
60
you're entering or exploding in the atmosphere.
61
And today adding the energy released at breakup is estimated to be equivalent to about 300 tons of TNT,
62
which accounts for the loud booms.
63
This thunderous noise coming less than 48 hours after a similar situation baffled residents across South Carolina.
64
The U.S.
65
Geological Survey saying
66
that cacophony was consistent with a sonic boom where an object like a jet travels faster than the speed of sound.
67
For now, silence simply shattered by sounds from the skies.
68
Aaron Gilchrist, NBC News.
69
And now to a tense situation unfolding in New Jersey tonight.
70
Protesters have been facing off with ICE agents and police outside a detention center for days,
71
with some of those clashes turning violent.
72
Valerie Castro has more.
73
Tonight, crowds gathering outside this immigration detention center in New Jersey.
74
Shut it down!
75
Demonstrators lining up, facing off against police and counter-protesters for the ninth day over conditions at the Delaney Hall facility in Newark.
76
If they're going to be in there, treat them properly. Be humane.
77
Overnight, tensions erupting into chaos.
78
Police with riot shields pushing the crowd back to a new designated protest zone.
79
Spraying people with tear gas.
80
Even ordering our NBC New York crew out of their car.
81
The clash is coming just hours after New Jersey Governor Mikey Sherrill ordered state police to secure the area.
82
With ICE agents withdrawing.
83
It was absolutely necessary to avoid escalation from ICE.
84
Over the past week, agents and police pepper spraying protesters, protesters hitting back.
85
The Department of Homeland Security says six were arrested for allegedly assaulting officers including one man charged for kicking and biting them.
86
The pepper spray was off the wall.
87
Do you foresee this escalating further?
88
Honestly, yes.
89
The protests sparked by reports of a hunger strike inside the 1,000-bed ICE facility,
90
with detainees complaining of poor living conditions,
91
including spoiled food and insufficient medical care.
92
The White House pushing back.
93
We're not providing luxury housing.
94
We're providing a sanitary place for them to be detained.
95
The concern for tonight is that things could certainly escalate once it gets dark,
96
as they have over the last several evenings.
97
But you can see state police here already.
98
In the meantime, Governor Mikey Sherrill says she is requesting access to see the inside of the facility for herself,
99
but says so far she's been denied.
100
She's also asking for Delaney Hall to be shut down altogether.
101
Jose.
102
Valerie Castro in Newark, New Jersey.
103
Thank you.
104
We turn now to the alarming spread of the Ebola virus,
105
with health officials racing to get the deadly outbreak under control.
106
Molly Hunter reports.
107
The World Health Organization's top official now in the Ebola hot zone.
108
Director General Dr. Tedros touching down in the Democratic Republic of Congo,
109
working to reassure the public.
110
This outbreak is caused by the Bundibujo virus,
111
for which no licensed vaccine or treatment currently exists.
112
But this is not without hope.
113
With more than a thousand suspected cases,
114
the WHO estimates up to half of those infected with the rare,
115
highly contagious strain could die.
116
Sharing accurate information matters.
117
Certain practices, including touching the bodies of those who have died from Ebola,
118
can spread the virus further.
119
Aid group Doctors Without Borders says the virus is already way ahead.
120
And the virus is spreading faster that we've been able to respond,
121
that we've been able to scale up.
122
But also, it's because we don't know where the virus is.
123
In recent weeks, frustration has boiled over.
124
Health facilities attacked, now being rebuilt.
125
And in Kenya, a high court has blocked a U.S plan for a specialized facility to treat Americans exposed to Ebola.
126
Senior U.S administration officials now say Americans infected would be sent
127
to Europe rather than the U.S to leading facilities like the one in Nebraska housing the cruise ship passengers exposed to Hantavirus.
128
Special lunch delivery this Saturday here at the National Quarantine Unit.
129
Those passengers, according to the CDC,
130
could return to their home states as early as next week to complete quarantine.
131
And while there is no indication Hantavirus has spread in the U.S.,
132
health officials are now racing to catch up to the deadly Ebola outbreak raging in Central Africa.
133
Molly Hunter, NBC News, London.
134
President Trump is responding to the performers who dropped out of a performance for America's 250th anniversary.
135
Julie Serkin joins us from the White House.
136
Julie, good evening.
137
The president has a new idea to replace the planned concert?
138
Exactly, Jose.
139
President Trump tonight is teasing the next big performer to entertain Americans,
140
celebrating the nation's 250th birthday,
141
writing on Truth Social, I am ordering my representatives,
142
you see it there, to look into the feasibility of doing an America is back rally, an event.
143
The man who gets much larger audiences than Elvis in his prime will headline, referring to himself.
144
Several musical artists who were slated to perform during the multi-day event next announced they were pulling out,
145
citing political concerns, including poisons,
146
Bret Michaels, Martina McBride, and rapper Young MC,
147
a spokesperson, Jose, for Freedom 250,
148
which is backed by the president,
149
confirming to NBC News that President Trump will personally kick off the Great American State Fair on June 24th.
150
Jose?
151
And, Julie, we're also learning more tonight about the president's health.
152
Yes, Jose.
153
On Friday night, the administration released a memo detailing the president's annual physical.
154
The White House physician noting Trump has gained 14 pounds since last year's exam and says the bruising on his hand,
155
which you might have caught in multiple photographs as we have,
156
is a result of, quote,
157
frequent handshaking combined with aspirin use for cardiovascular prevention.
158
Overall, the president's doctor says he is in excellent health.
159
Jose.
160
Julie Serkin at the White House.
161
Thank you.
162
And don't miss, don't miss Meet the Press tomorrow when Kristen Welker will interview former Vice President Mike Pence.
163
That's tomorrow morning right here on NBC.
164
Still ahead tonight, our inside look at the AI industry and the army of lobbyists coming to your statehouse,
165
pushing back against efforts to regulate the technology.
166
Back now with a closer look at the push to regulate AI as big tech leaders publicly call for new safety rules.
167
Chris Glorioso from NBC New York reports big tech lobbyists are pushing back.
168
I was truly thinking to myself,
169
how could someone do this to me?
170
When New Jersey's Francesca Manny learned two years ago she had been digitally disrobed with a phony AI deepfake,
171
she and her mother became what you might call citizen lobbyists traveling to their state capital of Trenton,
172
urging state lawmakers to crack down on deepfakes.
173
When I heard how many girls were being affected by this and women and children,
174
I knew I started to have to go for the lawmakers,
175
and that's exactly what I did.
176
It turns out the professional lobby for big tech is taking note.
177
Because of political gridlock in Washington,
178
lobbyists for AI are now turning their attention to the 50 state houses, among the biggest.
179
A group called TechNet representing the likes of OpenAI,
180
Anthropic, Meta, Amazon, Google, NVIDIA,
181
a who's who of big tech and media companies,
182
including Comcast, the parent company of NBC.
183
Last year, TechNet boasted of trying to influence more than 800 pieces of state legislation
184
and of getting its way 87 percent of the time.
185
They want to be the ones to write their own safety rules.
186
In New York, each of these state lawmakers told us TechNet
187
and other AI lobbyists have sought to slow down or even bury their AI safety bills.
188
They, you know, last year when we tried to move this bill,
189
they actually killed the bill last year.
190
A rep for TechNet said the industry group does not work to kill bills,
191
but rather to strengthen them and educate policymakers.
192
In an emailed statement, TechNet wrote,
193
in part, We believe innovation and responsibility go hand in hand and are always working to develop smart guardrails that promote safe,
194
responsible use of AI.
195
Of course there will be rules.
196
Of course there need to be some guardrails.
197
In public comments, AI CEOs have urged lawmakers to pass new safety rules,
198
even warning AI can pose grave dangers.
199
I think it's going down a very dangerous path.
200
But ethics filings from across the nation show TechNet often flatly opposes AI safety rules.
201
The group is listed as opposing a chatbot safety bill in Wisconsin,
202
opposing a Nebraska bill with provisions addressing AI-generated child sex abuse material,
203
opposing regulations on AI data centers,
204
and opposing tougher rules on AI liability, privacy, and social media.
205
TechNet told us it supports the aims of all those bills,
206
but pushed for changes, believing the policies would conflict with existing law,
207
deprive people of key services, or have unintended consequences.
208
Publicly, big corporations will say they want regulation,
209
and then in practice will try to lobby against every meaningful bill against them.
210
One of the bills TechNet is listed as opposing was this New Jersey legislation championed by Francesca Manny.
211
It criminalizes the use of AI deepfakes to harass or extort.
212
Lobbyists for NBC's parent company Comcast also sought changes on the bill,
213
but Comcast did not respond when we asked for specifics.
214
This is now the law of the land.
215
Last spring, Manny and her mother were there as the bill was signed into law.
216
Do you feel like your example shows you can beat the lobbyists?
217
100%.
218
Despite opposing the New Jersey deepfake bill,
219
TechNet told us it lobbied in support of the federal Take It Down Act signed by President Trump last year.
220
That law makes it a crime to share non-consensual intimate images and requires companies remove those images upon request.
221
Jose.
222
There's good news tonight.
223
So often the good news doesn't get as much attention as the BATO.
224
Every Saturday we highlight the many people who spread joy and love,
225
and this week we're celebrating a huge victory for students across the country.
226
This month we saw hard work pay off for so many students.
227
After years of studying, grads across the country are stepping into their futures with huge shows of support.
228
Assisting with the hooding is his wife.
229
Like this family fair at Michigan State University.
230
That's Jacob Sharon getting his medical hood placed by his wife Alexandra while holding their twin sons,
231
Matthew and Mark.
232
And get this, just last year,
233
Alexandra graduated from the same school with their sons too.
234
It's just been kind of a dream come true for us,
235
something that we had dreamed of even before starting medical school.
236
So now being kind of on the other end of it,
237
it's really just been, it's been awesome.
238
At the University of Tulsa,
239
Chelsea Idinson is now Dr. Idinson after she received her doctorate in cybersecurity with her adorable study buddy,
240
Georgia Jane, who also got a hood of her own.
241
And for first-generation graduates, it's not just the students succeeding,
242
it's also their parents and family members who sacrificed so much so they could make their dreams come true.
243
sisters Genesis and Azalia Calderon,
244
who wanted to share their big moment at UC Berkeley.
245
Christopher Luna, sharing this emotional moment with his parents,
246
earning his computer science degree from Cal State Dominguez Hills.
247
Amy Garcia, who got her nursing degree from NYU,
248
honoring her parents, who left their home countries to give her a better life.
249
Okay, perfect.
250
And the same is true for Julio Cesar,
251
who shared this moment with his adoptive parents,
252
his sister Olga Maria and brother-in-law Ramon Ramirez.
253
Julio, take me to that moment when you graduate and there you are standing with your sister and her husband, your parents.
254
That was the best moment I think of my life.
255
I held back so many tears right in there in that video,
256
but as soon as that video was over,
257
I just, I broke down because that moment meant
258
so much to me because I didn't know that I could be to this point.
259
Julio Cesar says Olga Maria kept him on track to earn his associate's degree.
260
And now he's one step closer to becoming a dental hygienist.
261
And he says sharing that cap and gown was a no-brainer.
262
Everyone has their own path.
263
It doesn't matter how long it takes to get there.
264
As long as you take baby steps to complete this goal like I did,
265
you will get there.
266
Congratulations to all those graduates on their next chapter.
267
That's NBC Nightly News for this Saturday.
268
HAVE IS THE MOST VOTED.
269
OUR MOVEMENT IS A JOB.

JOSE DEAAS-BILARD, THANK YOU FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF YOUR TIME.

この動画で話す練習をする理由は？
この「NBC Nightly News」のエピソードは、英語を学ぶ際に非常に役立ちます。特に、実際のニュースを通じて自然な会話の流れや表現を学ぶことができるからです。視聴者は、危機的な状況下での会話や感情表現を観察することで、実生活におけるスピーキングのスキルを向上させられます。この動画は、特に英語の発音やイントネーションを模倣するための「シャドーイング」練習に最適です。IELTS スピーキング対策にも活用できる内容が盛りだくさんです。
文法と表現の文脈
この動画から学べる主な文法構造や表現は以下の通りです：
- 文の構造：「Four men were finally free after they were trapped in a cave for more than a week.」この文は受動態を使い、何が起こったかを強調しています。
- 感情の表現：「exhausted but elated to be alive.」このような対比を使うことで、感情のニュアンスを豊かに表現できます。
- 進行形の使用：「were navigating narrow tunnels in the dark.」進行形は、行動が継続していることを示すために効果的です。
これらの表現を使って実際の会話を模倣することで、英語シャドーイングのスキルが向上します。
一般的な発音のトラップ
この動画で注意すべき発音のポイントはいくつかあります：
- cramped（密閉された）とcave（洞窟）の発音は、特に日本人学習者にとって難しい可能性があります。これらの単語を何度も繰り返すことで、正しい発音を習得することができます。
- exhausted（疲れ果てた）は流れるように発音することが重要です。子音が続くときの滑らかさを意識しましょう。
- thankの「th」音は、母音の後ろに続くため、強調して発音する必要があります。
こうした単語の発音練習を行うことで、会話の流暢さと自然さが向上します。YouTubeで英語学習をする際には、こうした発音のトラップを意識して話すことが効果的です。
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。
