日本時間８日午後３時現在、上のリンクの動画には字幕がついていません。でも、話題ごとに独立した動画には比較的正確な字幕がついていたので、それを使って全体の字幕を作りました。
オリジナルの字幕は大文字表記のものを使いましたが、一度すべて小文字に変換してから使いましたので、今日の字幕ファイルは小文字表記になっています (書き加えた部分などは一部大文字) 。
比較用に、訂正前のオリジナルの字幕もアップロードしておきます。
動画サイトの週末版の字幕は、翌日以降に比較的正確なものに差し替えられるようです。
それでは、今日も一緒に英語のニュースを見ていきましょう！

[** to shelter in place = (他の場所に避難しないで、その時いる場所で)屋内避難する・屋内退避する ]
[05:11] The attacks came one day after the 50th anniversary of what Israel calls the Yom Kippur War. in 1973, Syrian and Egyptian forces launched a surprise attack on Israel. Tonight many Israelis are likening the intelligence failure to that war.
[** = The Yom Kippur War, also known as the Ramadan War, the October War, the 1973 Arab–Israeli War, or the Fourth Arab–Israeli War, was an armed conflict fought from October 6 to 25, 1973, between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur_War ( Wikipediaの右上のlanguagesに日本語のページへのリンクもあります ) 第４次中東戦争 ]

[09:18]★今日のおすすめ★ Why prescription medication to treat alcoholism is ‘vastly underutilized’
Nearly 30 million Americans struggle with alcohol addiction. Medication used to treat alcohol-use disorder have been on the market for decades, but is rarely prescribed. Dr. Sarah Wakeman, medical director of the Substance Use Disorder Initiative at Massachusetts General Hospital Brigham, joins Ali Rogin to discuss medication’s potential for treating this disease and why it’s underused.
《アルコール依存症の薬物療法; アルコール使用障害; 医薬品による治療が普及しない理由; Sarah Wakeman, Massachusetts General Hospital Brigham; 》
[09:59] First of all, let's talk about how the medical community defines alcohol use disorder and also what have the trend lines been. Has the problem gotten more prevalent since the pandemic began?
Dr. wakeman: [** alcohol use disorder (アルコール使用障害) とは何かを説明している部分 ] The definition of alcohol use disorder is compulsively using alcohol despite problems. And so those can be problems in your life, like in your relationships or your ability to work or carry out your functions or in your health. So, continuing to use alcohol despite known health, either mental or physical health problems that are exacerbated by use. So, like many health conditions and many areas of substance use disorder, we've seen worsening trends since the onset of the pandemic. And, this is true both for heavy drinking and also alcohol use disorder and health conditions related to alcohol use.
[11:29] So, there are three FDA-approved medications available in the U.S. for treatment of alcohol use disorder. There's also other medications that are off-label or are not officially approved for that indication, [* = 適応(症) ] but are very effective. And, these medicines, for the most part, work by reducing the urge to want to drink and the pleasurable feedback that you get from drinking.
[** = FDAの認可外の ]

Eight months after a train derailed and spilled toxic chemicals in East Palestine, Ohio, people are still waiting for answers about long-term health and environmental consequences. What happened isn’t uncommon -- on average, there’s a chemical incident in the U.S. every two days. John Yang reports from North Carolina, where one city is trying to move forward after a chemical disaster in 2022.
《工場や輸送列車などの事故による化学物質の周辺環境汚染; その後の地域社会の取り組み; 不十分な規制; since 2021, there have been 614 accidents in the united states involving chemicals; communities around chemical facilities are predominantly black, latino and low-income communities and oftentimes these communities have the least resources to respond to and to be able to recover from disasters after they happen; 》
