It is now the fourth week of war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and as Israel's air campaign continues, the death toll mounts. The IDF is now fighting Hamas on the ground in Gaza. Its troops are moving in the northern end of the strip, while more than a million Gazans await aid in the south. Leila Molana-Allen reports.
《イスラエルとハマスの戦い２４日目; 現地からのリポート; At his first press conference since the October 7 terror attacks, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated that Israel will not consider a cease-fire; Israel's longest-serving premier said he will not resign, despite growing anger at his government among Israelis; Al-Shifa Hospital; Israel says Hamas hides one of its main military command centers beneath the hospital. But Al Shifa is also home to 50,000 displaced Palestinians; So far, more than 3,000 children have been killed, according to Save the Children. That's more than the total number of children killed annually in conflict zones since 2019; Israeli tanks today temporarily blocked Salah al-Din, Gaza's main north-south highway; One hostage was freed today during the ground invasion. Israeli soldier Ori Megidish has been reunited with her family; even far from the front lines, in the Dagestan region of Russia, a mob stormed an airport after a flight from Israel landed in the mostly Muslim region on Sunday night. Hundreds pushed their way into the airport searching for Jews, in a sinister echo of pogroms past; hundreds of miles of tunnels underneath Gaza that Hamas are using; ●イスラエルの世論について; the first is people in the country so incredibly angry that Mr. Security, as Netanyahu was known, could have allowed this to happen in the first place, this massive intelligence failure; Secondly, at the end of last year with this election, Netanyahu made a deal with some very right-wing elements to form a government, and many people feel that that split in society, those divisions are what distracted the security forces of the government from this threat that was coming; And thirdly now, families of these hostages absolutely furious with him that these ground raids are happening, these huge air assaults happening while their families are still inside Gaza; we all suspect that he (= Netanyahu) hopes that, if he wins this war, all that will be forgotten and he will be the hero of Israel again; ポグロム; 》

Israel is now operating in the Gaza Strip, but a U.S. official says IDF ground invasion plans changed to use more “methodical” tactics compared to original plans. But still, Israel’s air campaign has been relentless, turning parts of Gaza into moonscapes. Nick Schifrin discussed more with retired IDF Maj. Gen. Yaakov Amidror and Frederic Wehrey of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
《イスラエルのガザに対する軍事作戦について２人の軍事専門家に聞く; Israel's ground invasion plans "changed" to use "more methodical tactics," compared to their original plans; Yaakov Amidror, retired IDF major general, former national security adviser to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, now a distinguished fellow at the Jewish Institute for National Security of America; Frederic Wehrey, who had a 20-year career in the U.S. Air Force focused on the Middle East, now a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace; I do want to emphasize here that the real center of gravity for this threat to Israel is not Hamas, per se. It's not Hamas' infrastructure, missiles, support from Iran, the tunnels. It's really the problems of Gaza, the occupation, and that's not going to be resolved militarily; I think it's very easy to focus on the infrastructure, to talk about reducing capability. But it's quite another to talk about replacing an entire governance structure in this tremendously problematic area that has been a wellspring for grievances and radicalization; 》

In the U.S., fears are rising among Jewish Americans as reports of antisemitic incidents have increased since the start of the Israel-Hamas war. In response, the White House is unveiling new plans to combat antisemitic attacks at schools and college campuses. White House Correspondent Laura Barrón-López reports.
《イスラエルとハマスの戦争が始まって以来、世界中で高まる反ユダヤ主義; 大学キャンパスでの反ユダヤ主義への対策をホワイトハウスが発表; And so what this action does is, it directs the Justice Department and the DHS to partner with campus law enforcement, to work with them, help track hate-related rhetoric across campuses. DHS, Homeland Security, cybersecurity experts, specifically, will be helping schools monitor an increase of not just the rhetoric, but also potential threats. And then administration officials are meeting with Jewish American groups today and Jewish students later this week; these tools can also be used for other hate rhetoric that we're seeing, including against Arabs and Muslims on campuses; We (= ADL) have been tracking a nearly 400 percent increase in antisemitic incidents being reported to us. That's vandalism, harassment, and assault. And that's in comparison to the same time frame the previous year; normalization of antisemitism; "From the river to the sea." That's essentially calling for the eradication of the state of Israel; they also attribute this (= antisemitic incidents) to a lack of education; 》

President Biden signed the government’s first executive order to establish new standards and rules for the use of artificial intelligence. It’s a wide-ranging set of rules and recommendations to address concerns about national security, privacy, equity and the labor market. Geoff Bennett discussed these changes with Dr. Nicol Turner Lee, director of the Center for Technology Innovation.
《バイデン大統領が、人工知能(AI)使用に関する新たな基準や規則を制定する大統領令に署名; the key components include creating new safety and security standards for A.I., requiring testing and assurances that A.I. cannot be used to produce biological or nuclear weapons, protecting consumer privacy by developing guidelines for federal agencies, and advancing equity in civil rights to prevent algorithmic discrimination; ● Nicol Turner Lee, director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution; this only applies to future technology, and what's already on the market is already extraordinarily powerful; A.I.'s ability to create convincing disinformation; the challenge right now in the executive order is that it's a nonbinding agreement. The hope is that Congress will see the equal importance of this type of intervention in ways that they will actually pass really great legislation; It's really important, for the many years that we have fought for civil rights laws and human rights, that we not allow technologies to come in and change the nature of that game; 》

Since the pandemic eased, millions of Americans have had to deal with several drug shortages. For those with ADHD, it's been an especially difficult year as they and their families have struggled to get through ordinary daily routines. Stephanie Sy has the story.
《ADHD(attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, 注意欠陥多動性障害)の治療薬不足が続くなか、患者や家族の苦悩をリポート; there's been a nationwide shortage of medications, like Vyvanse, Adderall and Ritalin, which treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder; The majority of details around drug manufacturing, including the country that it was made in, the factory that it was made in, and how much product that they're actually making, all of that is allowed to be a trade secret; About 10 percent of kids and teens have ADHD; 62 percent of them take medication for it; These are low-cost drugs. And so when a drug company has a shortage, it doesn't really hurt their bottom line. And so there's not a tremendous amount of incentive to fix the problem; ノンバイナリー》

NPR’s Tamara Keith and Amy Walter of the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter join Geoff Bennett to discuss the latest political news, including the 2024 presidential field continuing to take shape with former Vice President Mike Pence exiting the Republican race and a new Democratic challenger for President Biden.

They're both tied 16 percentage points; She stands out in this field as someone who is a more traditional conservative Republican, more traditional defense hawk type of Republican; she's sort of getting all of the anti-Trump people who are concerned about the U.S. continuing to be a leader in the world; she's picking up those voters who already are very committed to a non-Trump choice; She needs to be able to win over the voters who say, I like Donald Trump, I have supported Donald Trump, but I'm open to an alternative; The president's rhetoric about the conflict has changed. He has gotten tougher on Israel, has raised more loudly his concerns that he had previously raised privately with the Israelis about ensuring the safety of civilians in Gaza; 》
